Active clinical trials for "Necrosis"

This study is a multi-center, prospective, non-controlled post-market surveillance study. The primary objective of this study is to confirm the safety and performance of the CLS Brevius stem with Kinectiv technology by obtaining implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for the commercially available stem.

To evaluate the incidence and severity of postoperative pain after root canal therapy of necrotic teeth in one appointment versus two appointments using Protaper next instrument.

Degenerative diseases and traumatic injuries of the shoulder joint, lead to dysfunction of the arm. Arthroplasty has recently become an increasingly popular operation for severe damage to the shoulder joint. In clinical practice, the most effective operation today is the reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), after the installation of which the pain syndrome disappears in patients and a satisfactory range of motion in the shoulder joint resumes. With the increasing use of reverse shoulder arthroplasty and its expanding indications, surgeons today are facing tougher reconstructive challenges while still providing the patient with a good clinical outcome. The damaged joint presents a problem for the surgeon during component positioning. Implants must place the in a location and orientation that optimizes range of motion and stability while minimizing impingement. In order to address this, surgeons can look to the use of 3D imaging in order to better understand each patient's pathology. All patients are performed computed tomography scans (CT) of the shoulder joint. Then, were reconstructed 3D model. To determine the position of the components is mounted a scapular plane was created based on 3 points on the 3D reconstructed scapula: center of the glenoid fossa, most medial point on the spinal border of the scapula, and most distal point on the inferior angle of the scapula. The investigators use a scapular plane for to determine the optimal angles of inclination of the reverse baseplate. Then the position and direction of the pilot pin is determined. The position of the fixing screws and their length are also calculated. A resection line is planned for the humerus. Preoperative virtual templating can be used to translate the preoperative plan into the operating suite in the form of patient specific instrumentation (PSI) and intraoperative navigation. PSI to reference the local anatomy in order to place the guide pin in the desired location, version, and inclination based on the preoperative plan. After surgery, all patients undergo a CT scan of the shoulder joint. These data are compared with CT scan of patients operated on according to the standard method. The range of motion is also assessed and compared.

Breast reconstruction is one of the most challenging aspects in plastic surgery. One of the most sophisticated methods of breast reconstruction is using of autologous fat grafting. Brava is a device that invented by Dr Roger Khouri, and is intended to improve the final results of fat grafting.

This study is intended to gather medium (0-5 years) and long-term (6-10 years) information regarding the performance and safety of the commercially available Ceramax™ Ceramic on Ceramic Total Hip System. This is a two-phased study consisting of a clinical follow-up phase and a clinical outcomes phase. In Phase One (0-5 years), diagnostic, demographic and operative information will be gathered for each subject enrolled in this study. In addition, Harris Hip Evaluations, subjective evaluations and radiographs will be completed annually. In Phase Two (6 - 10 years), a subjective outcomes questionnaire and a SF-12 Health Survey will be mailed to subjects annually.

Deep carious lesions will encounter the dentist with the challenge of selecting a treatment method that could avoid the pulpal exposure and maintain the pulp vitality.Conventional restorative treatments suggest complete removal of the caries in one visit which could cause pulpal exposure in 53% of the cases which in next step needs pulpotomy, pulpectomy or Root Canal Therapy (RCT). Stepwise Excavation(SE)is an old concept but has been researched recently to reduce the possibility pulpal exposure during the removal of the lesion. Contrary to Indirect Pulp Capping (IPC), in this technique only the central infected part of the caries is removed in first visit and the rest of the caries will be lined by a suitable material to suppress the remained cariogenic biomass and seal the cavity. This will help the pulp to defend and survive. After a period, the cavity is re-opened and the rest of the caries which is darker, harder and with less bacteria will be removed and the tooth is restored permanently.The aim of this study was to compare the effect of different lining materials in clinical and radiographical symptoms in stepwise excavation without re-enter after one year.

This is a multi-centre, prospective post marketing surveillance study to assess mid-term performance of the Mpact cup in subjects requiring primary total hip arthroplasty.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the survivorship and efficacy of the Encore CLP® Hip stem in a group of no more than 200 patients from whom data has already been collected.

The treatment for immature teeth with pulp necrosis can be carried out through apexification or regenerative endodontics procedures including platelet rich plasma (PRP), platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and injectable PRF, these techniques used alone or in combination. Revascularization therapy carries on more advantages than apexification, such as inducing root-end development and reinforcement. However, apical repair will not happen in the presence of inflamed and infected tissue.the aim of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of pre-synthesized novel antibiotic loaded electrospun nanofibers used in patients with immature necrotic teeth.

This study is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in kidney transplantation from Chinese donation after citizen's death (DCD). A pair uremia patients receiving kidney grafts from a same donor are randomized into two groups: MSCs group and control group. Besides routine induction therapy (ATG or Basiliximab) and maintenance immunosuppressive drugs (low-dose Tacrolimus + MPA + prednisone), patients in MSCs group are administered MSCs treatment (1*10^6/kg). Allogeneic bone marrow-derived MSCs (1*10^6/kg) are given intravenously at day 0 (post renal reperfusion during surgery), day 7, day 14 and day 21. The renal allograft function, rejection, patient/graft survival and severe adverse events within 12 months post-transplant are monitored.
