Conclusions Autologous bone graft harvesting from the calcaneus using lateral wall corticotomy technique by an osteotome could be a useful method with very low complications. Levels of Evidence Therapeutic, level IV cohort, case series.Dental plaque is a biofilm composed of a complex oral microbial community. The accumulation of plaque in the pit and fissures of dental elements often leads to the development of tooth decay (dental caries). Here, potent anti-biofilm materials were developed by incorporating zinc methacrylates or di-n-butyl-dimethacrylate-tin into the light-curable sealant and their physical, mechanical, and biological properties were evaluated. The data revealed that 5% di-n-butyl-dimethacrylate-tin (SnM 5%) incorporated sealant showed strong anti-biofilm efficacy against various single-species (Streptococcus mutans or Streptococcus oralis or Candida albicans) and S. mutans-C. albicans cross-kingdom dual-species biofilms without either impairing the mechanical properties of the sealant or causing cytotoxicities against mouse fibroblasts. The findings indicate that the incorporation of SnM 5% in the experimental pit and fissure self-adhesive sealant may have the potential to be part of current chemotherapeutic strategies to prevent the formation of cariogenic oral biofilms that cause dental caries.BACKGROUND In patients with avascular necrosis (AVN) of the talus in the precollapse stage unresponsive to conservative measures, joint preservation should be considered. Good results have previously been reported for vascularized bone grafting. The medial femoral condyle (MFC) free flap has recently been introduced, which consists of corticoperiosteal bone. We present a novel surgical technique using a periosteal-only MFC (pMFC) free flap in the treatment of talus AVN. METHODS We retrosp
