RESUMO
An increased level of ammonia in the bloodstream, or hyperammonemia, is a symptom associated with metabolic disorders referred to as inborn errors of metabolism. Urea cycle disorder is a congenital abnormality or absence of one of the six enzymes involved in the elimination of ammonia. Administration of certain medications, high protein diet, excessive exercise, surgical procedures, or trauma can precipitate symptoms of mental confusion, seizure-like activity, and ataxia. This paper reviews the literature with insight into current treatment and management options of the disorder and modification of treatment for the dental patient.

This article examines each class of bone grafting material based on some of the studies in each of the following categories: safety, animal research, periodontal and maxillofacial applications, skeletal grafting, and attempts to qualify the efficacy of each class of material. The article also examines some of the research being done in "tissue engineering" to get a sense of the future of bone grafting.
