The fractures were considered in either the wire or composite, with or without a partial or total loosening of the retainer from the teeth.
Our idea is that overexpression of cellulase in a living plant may lead to partial degradation and loosening of cell wall, and such cell wall can be an efficient substrate of cell wall-degrading enzymes produced by microorganisms by enhancing accessibility of the enzymes to the substrates during the saccharification process.
Hence, a major threat for the clinical use of dermal substitutes is insufficient vascularization leading to loosening, infection, or partial necrosis of the dermal substitute [ 7].
Different transvaginal techniques like sling loosening, mesh incision, and partial or complete excision were described in included studies but no clear strategy or algorithm could be found (Table 1).
Partial resorption of the tubercle was defined as loosening of 25 to 50% in the initial height of the tubercle and full resorption defined as more than 50% of initial height.
Both of these exceptions may involve D4Z4 chromatin loosening in normal-length arrays due to partial hypomethylation of D4Z4 DNA [ 31, 33].
On the other hand, in a duraplasty study in dogs the membrane was invaded by connective tissue and membrane filaments had loosened and separated from each other, resulting in its partial disappearance when evaluated 270 days postoperatively [ 14].
Partial loss of gained length, as seen in 3 of our 32 patients, may occur due to loosened locking bolts or running back of the telescoping part.
Complications which can be determined by MRI include graft loosening or migration, incongruencies of the cartilage-cartilage interface, significant gaps between osteochondral plugs and adjacent native cartilage and partial or complete necroses of the grafts (Figs. 5, 6).
