orphan date October 2009 Socket Preservation is a procedure in which graft material or scaffold is placed in the socket of an extracted tooth at the time of extraction to preserve the alveolar ridge. After extraction, jaw bones have to be preserved to keep sockets in its original shape. Without socket preservation, the bone quickly resorbs. The jaw bone will never revert to its original shape once bone is lost and tissue contour has changed. Socket Preservation differs from Ridge Augmentation in Socket Preservation, the graft or scaffold is placed inside the tooth socket immediately after extraction, whereas the Ridge Augmentation grafting procedure is done to bring back the lost bone after the bone has resorbed and there is insufficient ridge height or width for further treatment procedure. Benefits Socket Preservation procedure prevents immediate bone resorption after extraction thus keeping the contour and integrity of the socket with successful and natural looking appearance for tooth restorative procedures. All dental prosthesis requires good jaw bone support for it to be successful in the long run. Without socket preservation, residual bones could lose volume resulting in loss of facial vertical and horizontal dimension and changes in facial soft tissues aesthetics. Types of materials that could be used for Socket Preservation Autograft Bone harvested from patient s own body. Xenograft Bone grafts or collagen from bovine or porcine origin. Allograft Block bone graft from cadaver .

The acquired type most often occurs in the setting of autoimmune disease, and is one of the principal forms of chronic rejection of a transplanted liver allograft. Infants and children with biliary atresia have progressive cholestasis with all the usual concomitant features jaundice, pruritus, malabsorption with growth retardation, fat soluble vitamin deficiencies, hyperlipidemia, and eventually cirrhosis with portal hypertension. If unrecognized, the condition leads to liver failure but not kernicterus , as the liver is still able to conjugate bilirubin, and conjugated bilirubin is unable to cross the blood brain barrier. The cause of the condition is unknown. The only effective treatments are certain surgeries such as the kasai procedure , or liver transplantation.

expert subject date April 2010 Interventions infobox Name Penis transplantation Image Caption ICD10 ICD9 ICD9proc 64.98 MeshID OPS301 OtherCodes HCPCSlevel2 Penis transplantation is a surgical organ transplant transplant procedure in which a penis is transplanted to a patient. The penis may be an allograft from a human donor, or it may be grown artificially, though the latter is untested in humans. Peripheral transplant procedures such as hand transplant hand , face transplant face , or penis transplant surgery are controversial because they are not necessary to ensure the life of the patient. Allotransplant procedure The first successful procedure was performed in September 2006, at a military hospital in Guangzhou , China . The patient, a 44 year old male, had sustained the loss of most of his penis in an accident. The transplanted penis came from a brain dead 22 year old male. Although successful, the patient and his wife suffered psychological trauma as a result of the procedure, and had the surgery reversed fifteen days later. ref cite news url http www.guardian.co.uk science 2006 sep 18 medicineandhealth.china work The Guardian location London title Man rejects first penis transplant first Ian last Sample date 2006 09 18 accessdate 2010 05 22 ref ref Citation url http linkinghub.elsevier.com retrieve pii S0302283806008670 title A preliminary report of penile transplantation year 2006 journal European Urology pages 851 853 volume 50 issue 4 last1 Hu first1 Weilie last2 Lu first2 Jun last3 Zhang first3 Lichao last4 Wu first4 Wen last5 Nie first5 Haibo last6 Zhu first6 Yunsong last7 Deng first7 Zhixiong last8 Zhao first8 Yongbing last9 Sheng first9 Wen accessdate 2009 03 30 doi 10.1016 j.eururo.2006.07.026 pmid 16930814 last Bai first Ying ref Following this, Jean Michel Dubernard , famous for performing the world s first face transplant , wrote that the case raises many questions and has some critics .
