Comparison of RCA and RACD in Extra-renal Purification by SLED
One of the main RRT issues is anticoagulation of the ECC, because blood contact with biomaterials causes bio-incompatibility reactions, including activation of the coagulation cascade. Based on Regional Citrate Anticoagulation (RCA) protocols, an ionized calcium (Ca-ion) concentration around 0.25 to 0.35mmol / L prevents fibrino formation and allows anticoagulation for …
"Pontic-shield" Technique in Alveolar Ridge Preservation
Alveolar bone resorption after dental extraction frequently leads to situations in which long-term function and esthetic success of rehabilitations with dental implants is a challenge. "Pontic-shield" has been described as an alternative technique to maintain alveolar ridge after tooth extraction. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness …
