Manufacturers use six different titanium‐based biomaterials to fabricate dental implants. Each of these materials, including four grades commercially pure titanium and two alloys, has distinct mechanical physical properties. Clinicians should recognize differences for optimal treatment planning patient care.
The authors evaluated gas exchange, pulmonary function, and lung histology during perfluorocarbon liquid ventilation (LV) when compared with (GV) in the setting of severe respiratory failure.The efficacy LV failure has been premature animals surfactant deficiency. However, very little work performed evaluating older animal models adult distress syndrome (ARDS).A stable model injury was induced 12 young sheep weighing 16.4 +/- 3.0 kg using right atrial injection 0.07 mL/kg oleic acid followed...
The purpose of this study was to empirically investigate the validity and reliability portfolio assessment in two U.S. dental schools using a unified framework for validity. In process validation, it is not test that validated but rather claims (interpretations uses) about scores are validated. Kane's argument‐based validation provided structure reporting results where followed by evidence support argument. This multivariate generalizability theory found greatest source variance attributable...
Abstract Objectives: Diabetes is an increasingly prevalent disease with oral health manifestations. While diabetes clearly has affect on bone, its impact the healing of bone associated dental implants not completely understood. The purpose this study was to measure response in uncontrolled and insulin‐controlled diabetic rats. Material methods: One hundred fifty‐two rats were divided into control, diabetic, insulin groups. Rats received streptozotocin (65 mg/kg) induce diabetes; animals...
In Brief Purpose: To review injection techniques and patient satisfaction with of Restylane in various facial areas by American Society Ophthalmic Plastic Reconstructive Surgery members. Methods: Data from 286 patients treated nine practices were abstracted to a spreadsheet for analysis. Results: Nine performed injections 8.8 months on average (range, 2 28 months). Average practice volume per was 1.2 ml 0.7 2.1 ml). injected the nasolabial melolabial folds, 9 lips, 6 glabella. Only other...
The purpose of this study was to measure the variability torque produced by a population mechanical torque-limiting devices in clinical service US dental school. were divided into two categories according their mode action: toggle-type and beam wrenches. Proper action these is essential for calibrated delivery preload implant prosthetic screws.Seventeen (35 Ncm) obtained from graduate prosthodontic, predoctoral, faculty practice clinics. Nine devices, eight beam-type Torque each wrench...
Abstract Background and Objective Erbium lasers are potential tools to remove caries dental hard tissue but bond strengths of composites those preparations reported be lower than conventional methods. The purpose this study was evaluate the effect mechanical excavation and/or chemical alteration on strength laser irradiated enamel dentin. Materials Methods Seventy‐two premolars were ground obtain flat (E, n = 36) or dentin (D, surfaces in both buccal lingual cusps, divided into:...
In Brief Purpose: To describe the methods and results of a new technique eyelash trephination for treatment trichiasis distichiasis. Methods: The medical records all patients who underwent by authors to treat or distichiasis were reviewed. Gender, diagnosis, number eyelids treated, follow-up time, surgical outcome recorded. involves boring affected lash follicle with microtrephine, followed removal follicle. Results: procedure was performed on 41 26 (15 females 11 males). Patients 6 51...
The purpose of this article is to describe the process and procedures involved in implementation portfolio assessment at two dental schools. Portfolios can be defined as a purposeful collection student work that involves reflection which students identify gaps their knowledge abilities develop strategies for correcting those gaps. Framed within current context education calls change ways are taught assessed, these schools embarked upon an strategy aimed engaging self‐directed learning...
The causes of tooth erosion are varied, but all associated with a chemical attack on the teeth and resulting loss structure. Etiologic factors related to cited in literature include bulimia, eating acidic foods, soft drink consumption, acid reflux, swimming, among others. This clinical report suggests that chronic use headache powders can also be factor leading erosion.
Multiple articles in the literature have used strain gauges to estimate precision of fit implant bars. However, accuracy these measurements has not been fully documented. The purpose this study was evaluate response known amounts misfit an bar. This is important step validation device. Materials: A steel block manufactured with five 4.0-mm externally hexed platforms machined into 7-mm apart. 1.4-cm long gold alloy bar cast 2 platforms. Brass shims varying thickness (150, 300, and 500 μm)...
To: (1) determine which impression and gingival displacement techniques practitioners use for single-unit crowns on natural teeth; (2) test whether certain dentist practice characteristics are significantly associated with the of these techniques.Dentists participating in National Dental Practice-Based Research Network were eligible this survey study. The study used a questionnaire developed by clinicians, statisticians, laboratory technicians, experts. was pretested via cognitive...
Abstract The objective was to test how increasing fiber length above the critical would influence mechanical properties and fracture crack propagation. Micromechanics considering fiber/matrix stress‐transfer used evaluate results in addition a shear debonding volume percent correction term necessary for final analysis. Fiber lengths of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 6.0 mm with 9 μm diameters were added into photocure vinyl ester particulate‐filled composite at uniform 28.2 vol%. Mechanical flexural...
