![]() ![]() Herein, we review latest scientific researches and recent advances of tissue engineering in major field of oral and maxillofacial surgery by subtopics categorized by facial complex parts.Ģ. This over-increasing attraction to this field-involving almost all tissues even whole organs-leads to researches across the world. Just in 2010, the number of original articles in this field reaches 4000. In recent decades, a number of articles were being published about the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) field over 360 yearly just at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This new field in contrast to the former biomaterial thoughts presents incredible disciplines which diverse the goal of regeneration induction of traumatized or damaged tissue rather than substitution with inert parts. *Address all correspondence to: Introductionįor the first time, Langer and Vacanti introduced the definition of tissue engineering to explain the basics of functional substitutes for tissue damage and how to reconstruct and regenerate these tissues based on principles of biology and medical engineering.

The aim of this chapter is to defne concepts and advances in tissue engineering (TE). From standpoint of surgery, tissue engineering is not considered as a potential step anymore, but as an available approach to reach the ultimate goal of reconstruction procedures. “Tissue engineering” due to its multi-aspect properties can be defined as application of methods and science of engineering toward the understanding of structure-function relationships of mammalian tissues in both normal and pathological forms to improve and develop biologic substitutes to reach the main goal of restoring, maintaining, and stabilization of tissue function. This is where idea behind tissue engineering steps in. As these grafts and techniques are well described and used routinely, it should have been noticed that they are not without complications. Through years surgeons use different forms of grafts to reconstruct these defects. Considering each part of oral and maxillofacial region consisting of several tissues, it is necessary to reconstruct these architectures layer by layer. Nowadays, oral and maxillofacial surgeons face serious difficulties in reconstruction of large defects caused by trauma, cancer, or congenital deformities. ![]()

![]() Best to have at least one or two audiophile LPs available with a critical turntable like this to know how good it can sound when fed decent material. The Debut with 2M Red cartridge came over generally as not-warm, strong mid-band insight pushing out vocals and instruments vividly.The penalty here is that old or damaged LPs can sound harsh or noisy, because the turntable reveals LP problems rather than ameliorating them. In my head I am comparing it with our SME309 arm fitted with an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze MC cartridge, a quality standard imprinted into my brain. Her soaring crescendo in the last grooves held steady and was brightly clean but not sharp and edgy.There was a little glare and lack of solidity perhaps, but heavens this is a seriously budget turntable. Two Countries One Heart also has a great end-of-side ‘test track’ where Rosella Caporale gloriously sings Time To Say Goodbye (I love the weepies!) and again the Debut showed it could deliver this track beautifully in true and best analogue fashion. More about this in Sound Quality and Measured Performance, I have good memory of the 2M Red as such, so I wondered whether the 2020 unit in this turntable had been softened up a tad from its predecessors – going back 13 years no less. Its stand-out feature is a flat frequency response with small treble lift, so it doesn’t sound warm like MMs of yore”. ![]() Back in our March 2015 issue review of the RPM I Carbon turntable similarly fitted I said “The Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge we first measured and reviewed back in 2007. Pro-Ject say the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge fitted has “a slight touch of warmth”. ![]() I should mention that a heavy 1.7kg pressed steel platter, with thermoplastic elastomer damping pad around its internal periphery, must be placed onto the hub and there’s meant to be a felt mat it seems, but ours was missing – perhaps moths got there first! Manual cueing using the finger lift is not easy because it is flat, slippery and close to the LP surface on this arm. The arm is entirely manual, so it must be cued down using the damped platform then cued up at the end of a side. Music LPs are usually cut well below that of test discs in terms of level, so no big issue here, more a matter of assurance. The final touch is to fish out the bias weight and thread from its bag, carefully thread the loop over a small rear rod and settle it into one of the three grooves i used the furthest groove from arm pivot to apply maximum bias, as tracking tests show this is necessary for best performance when things gets difficult Pro-Ject recommend the middle groove. Screwed forward to the 1,8gm mark I used 2gm, the upper limit Not that the 2M Red is a bad tracker, so much as the sense of security that comes from highest force when playing hot (loud) cuts. All standard practice nowadays and a very good methodology too. ![]() power inlet hides underneath and the signal cable outlets are easily accessible at rear, together with an earth terminal that must be used, not for safety but to earth internal metal parts to avoid hum pickup from possible induction into them. The power rocker-switch is hidden underneath the platter at front left and is easy to get at A small d.c. ![]() The simple MDF plinth also has three height-adjustable feet so it can be perfectly levelled, as a turntable needs to be if the arm is to perform as expected. It can be slipped off the hinges if preferred, as can be necessary in a shelf system where space between shelves is limited. Whilst a measly short power cable might seem like penny-pinching, Pro-Ject still manage to supply an attractive vacuum formed clear acrylic dust cover, that moves on friction hinges. Slightly irritating here was the very short (120cm) power lead of the supply that will demand an extension lead in many systems I suspect. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The IRS did not provide a tool or method to track payment status of these refunds however, they may be able to provide details when you call.Ī federal tax amendment is required for the following: The IRS had started to direct bank deposit or mail out bank checks in late May of 2021 for this supplemental or plus-up payment to respective taxpayers with filed their 2020 Return.

The body is stockier than other common species. The snout of the bull shark is very short, its length less than the width of the mouth and rounded. Juveniles are not uncommon in the lower salinity bays and estuaries. The bull shark is not abundant but is regularly taken in some areas of the northern Gulf of Mexico. As the name implies, the shark has fine, needle-like teeth in both upper and lower jaws. This species has a striking bluish-grey color when alive that fades quickly. The finetooth shark is relatively common in the northern Gulf of Mexico. However, the easiest characteristic to differentiate between these species is the black coloration on the anal fin of the spinner shark. The spinner shark has a narrower and longer snout than the blacktip which is easily discernible when the fishes are laid side-by-side. The spinner shark, another common shark, is very similar to the blacktip shark and these species are often confused by fishers. Image credit, Eric Hoffmayer, NMFS, Pascagoula. It is often confused with the spinner shark but the spinner shark typically has black pigment on its anal fin. The blacktip shark may be the second most common shark in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Image credit, Apex Predators Program, NOAA/NEFSC. No other shark in our area has white spots along its back and flanks. If the shark is less than about 2 feet and is not a hammerhead shark, it is undoubtedly a sharpnose shark. These sharks, along with 5 or 6 other species, are often called “sand sharks”. It is small, growing to only about 4 feet in length. The Atlantic sharpnose shark is the most common inshore species in many areas of the northern Gulf of Mexico. ![]() Non-Ridgeback Sharks Common Inshore Sharks Does it have a saw-like snout?

Rays typically have a stinging barb at the base of the tail whereas skates have no barb and are relatively harmless. Everyone knows what a shark looks like but many don’t recognize the difference between skates and rays. ) In the Gulf of Mexico, there are about 50 different species of sharks and about the same number of skates and rays. Parsons, University Press of Mississippi. (Some of the information contained herein is taken from Sharks, Skates and Rays of the Gulf of Mexico, by Glenn R. If you are a fisher it is important to familiarize yourself with those species and, if you capture an endangered or critically endangered species, please release the fish as quickly as possible unharmed. To provide an indication of this decline, species that are listed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature as critically endangered (CR), endangered (EN), vulnerable (VU) or near threatened (NT) will be indicated in the descriptions below.

He is skeptical, however, that it will translate into increased sales. ![]() Moskow believes the new Extra commercials will likely resonate with consumers. And that box represents that in this story, which we thought was really powerful." "From a father's perspective, that's frightening, but to the daughter, that separation never existed. "There's moments where you feel a separation happening between these two characters," said Dietzen, 33. The fruits of her labor provided the emotional payoff at the end of the commercial, according to Dietzen. To make the spot, the agency hired a woman who folded hundreds of origami cranes in her basement out of actual Extra wrappers. "But your relationship with other people is a collection of small gestures, and those small gestures can add up to being really big, important things in life." "Handing somebody a stick of gum is a seemingly really small thing," said Rick Hamann, group creative director, 41. Founded in 1932 as Arthur Meyerhoff Associates, the agency landed Wrigley as a client the following year after getting newspapers - including the Chicago Tribune - to allow the placement of chewing gum ads on the comics pages, according to a Wrigley representative.Ĭharged with broadening Extra's appeal, Energy BBDO developed the idea for the inaugural spot by contemplating a ritual that Jimmy Dietzen, a creative director at Energy BBDO, engages in every Saturday morning - taking his own daughter out to breakfast. The new campaign was created by Wrigley's longtime advertising agency, Chicago-based Energy BBDO. ![]() The company also has gum plants in Tennessee, Ontario and southwest suburban Yorkville. It is produced in Wrigley's Gainesville, Ga., factory, along with such brands as Orbit and 5. "We're adding more media behind Extra, so that will be an uptick for us."Įxtra was introduced in 1984 as the company's first sugar-free brand in the U.S. "We are going to be spending more going forward," Splitstone said. Those budgets will be boosted as the new Extra campaign expands into digital and print by the end of the year, according to Splitstone. Wrigley spent nearly $116 million on advertising last year, investing about $35 million each in 5 and Orbit, and $19 million in Extra, according to Kantar. "I think they just have to market it better." "It's actually a very good product," Moskow said. In 2010, gum advertising was nearly $287 million. Gum advertisers spent $204 million on measured media last year, down from $218 million in 2011, according to Kantar Media. "Trident has an oral care heritage, and this one went too far in the direction of indulgence," Moskow said.īut, he said, a bigger problem may be decreased overall advertising spending, which has declined in lock step with sales. He cites Trident's current "See What Unfolds" campaign as one that has missed the mark by elevating fun over functional. Moskow also believes the gum companies have drifted too far from promoting the health benefits of chewing. "We've made it more complicated for consumers." "There's just a lot of brands, a lot of flavor entries and, we would argue, more than there needs to be," she said. Splitstone acknowledged that there are just too many choices for most consumers' tastes. The company said it has paused production, sales and marketing of Alert and will reassess the situation at the beginning of 2015. Wrigley experienced a flameout in May when one of those varieties, its Alert caffeinated gum, was pulled from the market after the Food and Drug Administration announced an investigation into the effect of additional caffeine consumption on children. 11, according to IRI.Īmong the problems, according to Moskow, has been an overwhelming number of choices at the checkout line, offering everything from faux pie dessert substitutes to flavor-changing gum. Sales have dropped 6.4 percent to $3.24 billion through the 52 weeks ended Aug. gum sales are down more than $300 million since 2010, and the decline is accelerating this year. "Something got lost in the translation as they tried to integrate chewing gum." "These are two very big confectionary companies, and it makes all the sense in the world that they would have some synergies with chewing gum, but chewing gum is a very different kind of category," Moskow said. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tickets also are available online at or on the Hornets app. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online through the UNC ticket office at or by calling 91.

Martin became one of the league’s best scorers during the 2006-20011 seasons while with the Kings, averaging 22.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 38 percent from three-point range.ĭuring his second season with Sacramento, Martin delivered one of the most prolific moments in franchise history when he delivered a game-winning, buzzer-beating lay-in to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the 2006 NBA Playoffs. Sacramento struck gold during the 2004 NBA Draft when they selected high-scoring guard Kevin Martin out of Western Carolina University. While Wallace was a young talent playing behind Chris Webber and Brad Miller while with the Kings, the athletic wing turned into an All-Star, averaging 16.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game over his next six seasons.

![]() ![]() So unless you need to be reminded to brush your teeth every day, or to ease up on pressure while brushing, you might not get as much from the app as you’d like.Ī huge plus point for the DiamondClean is that it comes with its own USB-charging case, perfect for travel, or if you like to brush your teeth after lunch, at the office. However, where the Oral-B Genius app helps users actively improve their technique by identifying areas they’ve missed during brushing, the DiamondClean 9000 app simply charts your brushing activity, and how much pressure you apply during sessions. You can even set up automatic re-ordering to keep your bathroom cabinet stocked up. The DiamondClean 9000, like the Oral-B Genius, also comes with a free app to help you keep track of your oral hygiene and help you keep track of when you need replacement brush heads. However, over a few cleans, they didn’t notice an enormous amount of difference between the other modes, except that Gum Health was a bit softer on the gums. Our tester noticed a big difference between clean/deep clean+, the latter leaving their teeth feeling cleaner. Each of these modes can be further tweaked to an intensity setting that suits you, giving you a wide range of brushing experiences to choose from. Sleek and stylish, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9000 features no less than four brushing modes: clean, white+, gum health and deep clean+. And if you want a toothbrush that promises to whiten teeth, or massage gums, you’d be better looking elsewhere. However, if you have sensitive teeth or gums, you may find it just a little too powerful. Given that most people tend to use just one or two cleaning modes on even the most sophisticated brushes, the Oral-B Pro 1000 clears away the confusion and focuses on delivering a powerful clean with its round cross-action brush head. Just like the handset itself, replacement brush heads are also very affordable. It also alerts you when you complete the recommended two minutes of brushing time. There's a built-in pressure sensor that alerts you to when you’re brushing too hard (when our tester pushed it against their teeth, the spinning brush head turned off) and a timer that helps you remember when to move to the next quadrant of your mouth. After depleting the battery fully, it took 20.5 hours for the Oral-B Pro 1000 to become fully charged.ĭespite its simplicity, this toothbrush also includes some helpful features. The user guide says that the Oral-B Pro 1000 takes 22 hours to fully charge. But if you’re after simplicity, it could be the right toothbrush for you. One cleaning mode is all you get with the Oral-B Pro 1000, so it’s just as well the price point is low. One of Oral-B’s most popular electric toothbrushes, the Oral-B Pro 1000 is a budget-friendly electric toothbrush that does away with all the bells and whistles of its hi-tech neighbors and simply cleans well. Gum care mode had a gently massaging, rhythmic oscillation that moved up and down in intensity, while 3D white mode echoed that sensation of having a polish at the dental hygienist. Our tester found the daily cleaning mode and pro clean mode to be very similar, but pro clean had the edge when it came to that "clean-mouth feeling" after brushing. But for anyone who’s been advised by their hygienist to improve their brushing technique, it could be a game-changer. Operating at around 70 decibels, it’s similar to a dishwasher or washing machine. Users who prefer a quieter brushing session may find the Oral-B Genius X a little noisy, given that it isn’t a sonic toothbrush. ![]() A sturdy travel case is included, with a charging travel case offered on some models. Featuring six cleaning modes, including tongue cleaning, sensitive, whitening, gum care and pro cleaning alongside standard daily clean, this toothbrush delivers on oral hygiene with a powerful oscillating-rotating brush head. technology, while extra features help users set oral hygiene goals with coaching tips and tricks.Īnd if you’re not interested in using the app, there’s plenty to like about the Oral-B Genius X itself. An interactive app tracks and monitors your brushing habits and patterns using A.I. The Oral-B Genius X is the ideal next-level toothbrush for anyone wanting to improve and maintain good dental hygiene. ![]() |
