We conclude that omega-3 fatty acids may be associated with lower inflammatory biomarkers among diabetic and cardiovascular patients .
The purpose of this systematic review and meta- analysis was to investigate omega-3 fatty acids ’ influence on 12 inflammatory biomarkers — LDL , HDL , total cholesterol , TG , HbA1c , Apo AI , Apo AII , Apo B , CRP , TNF-α , glucose , and fasting blood glucose among diabetic and cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) patients .
Efficacy of collagen matrix seal and collagen sponge on ridge preservation in combination with bone allograft: A randomized controlled clinical trial
AIM To test whether the use of collagen matrix seal ( CMS ) results in similar hard and soft tissue remodelling to that with collagen sponge ( CS ) used as barriers 4 months following alveolar ridge preservation ( ARP ) , in combination with freeze-dried bone allograft ( FDBA ) . MATERIAL S AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients were r and omly assigned to the two groups . Clinical and radiographic measurements were recorded with the same stent at baseline and 4 months for st and ardization . The flapless technique following a traumatic extraction was used for the two types of barriers . RESULTS All patients completed the study , 14 in the CMS group and 14 in the CS group . Reduction in coronal ridge width ( 1.21 mm-14.91 % CMS and 1.47 mm-20.40 % CS ) and vertical buccal bone resorption ( 0.30 mm CMS and 0.79 mm CS ) were not significantly different . A slight increase in buccal gingival thickness at the coronal part was observed in both groups ( 0.9 mm CMS and 0.5 mm CS ) . CONCLUSIONS Collagen matrix seal and CS , when combined with FDBA , significantly minimized ridge resorption in all dimensions and maintained buccal soft tissue thickness in sockets with a buccal plate loss of < 2 mm in comparison to previously reported findings recorded after tooth extraction without ARP
