Abstract: Lower limb ulceration is a common problem in clinical practice. A variety of metabolic and physical causes can lead to a diversity of chronic ulcer types, including diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs). A wide variety of technologies have...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on bone healing after enucleation of mandibular cysts: a modified case control study.
Abstract: Mandibular cysts may require enucleation, resulting in large cavities compromising mandibular strength and functions. We investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on healing after enucleation of mandibular cysts. Fourteen healthy...
