Beheiri, G., E. Helmy, W. E. Biealy, M. Hafez, and O. A. Aziz, INTERPOSITIONAL TEMPORALIS MUSCLE FLAP FOR MANAGEMENT OF ADVANCED INTERNAL DERANGEMENT, , 2014. Abstract

Objectives: Evaluate the short term effect of menisectomy with interpositional temporalis muscle flap in management of advanced internal derangement.
Methods: Twelve patients received interpositional temporalis muscle flap. Maximum interincisal opening and VAS were recorded preoperatively, 2 and 6months postoperatively.
Results: The present study showed significant increase in MIO and decrease in VAS scores.
Conclusion: Interpositional temporalis muscle flap is reliable and effective treatment for advanced stages of anterior disc displacement without reduction
Keywords: Internal derangement, Temporomandibular joint, Temporalis myofascial flap, Anterior disc displacement without reduction

Beheiri, G., A. E. E. Arab, M. Dahaba, and O. A. Aziz, Evaluation of the effect of soft tissue augmentation on crestal bone level around immediate implants, , 2010. Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of keratinized mucosa width on crestal bone level around immediate non submerged implants.
Methods: Twelve patients received a total of twelve implants placed immediately after removal of twelve single rooted teeth. All implants were placed within the alveolar confines. Six patients received free gingival graft while the other six were control. Periapical radiographs were done where crestal bone was recorded immediate, 3, and 9months postoperatively.
Results: The present study showed higher mean bone loss for implants with narrow zones of keratinized mucosa; although there was no statistical difference between the two groups.
Conclusion: The absence of adequate keratinized mucosa width around immediate implants may be associated with more crestal bone loss.
