Cone beam computed tomography is a 3-dimensional high resolution imaging method. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects 3 different NiTi rotary instruments used prepare curved root canals on final shape and total amount canal transportation by using cone-beam to?mography. A 81 mesial from 42 extracted human mandibular molars, with curvature ranging 15 45 degrees, were selected. Canals randomly divided into groups 27 each. After preparation Protaper, Revo-S Hero Shaper,...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to evaluate influence dental implant placement at different bone levels upon resultant postoperative peri-implant loss. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-two partially edentulous patients seeking implant-supported single-crown restorations were screened followed by segregation into 2 groups (GP), GP E (equicrestal) and S (subcrestal) (n=21 each). Sixty endosseous implants (30 each) (Adin Tourage-S, Israel), size 3.5/8 4/10 mm for mandibles, placed using a...

Abstract Background Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is a prevalent pediatric orthopedic condition. Treatment options range from in situ pinning to various osteotomies, with the Modified Dunn procedure gaining significant attention over past two decades. However, suitability of this for different SCFE subtypes and risk avascular necrosis (AVN), particularly moderate severe cases, remains controversial. This study aims report midterm clinical radiographic outcomes treating SCFE,...

A BSTRACT Background: The proliferative potential of odontogenic tumors is an important factor in understanding their aggressive behavior. “Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA)” a functional and structural component DNA replication factor, while “Minichromosome Maintenance Protein 2 (MCM2)”, from the MCM family, mediates cell proliferation as well progression through to S-phase. Here, we aimed evaluate expression PCNA MCM2 with special emphasis on ameloblastomas “keratocystic (KCOTs)”....

Neglected and underutilized vegetables (NUVs) refer to native plant species that have been traditionally overlooked or underappreciated for their nutritional medicinal value. These may unique characteristics phytochemical profiles make them promising candidates antibacterial research. The current study assessed the activity of Lagenaria siceraria, Gynandropsis gynandra, Senna obtusifolia, Leptadenia hastata, Ficus benghalensis, Ampelocissus africanus, Annona muricata against...

Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by polymorpho nuclear neutrophils occurs in chronic periodontitis. These ROS are mainly involved bacterial destruction. However, extracellular release same results destruction surrounding tissue. Spirulina, a potent antioxidant when administered sub gingivally pockets can offer improved periodontitis patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect Spirulina delivered patients with periodontitis.Sixty were divided into 2 groups. Group I (n...

Using applicable monitoring indicators for tracking progress the UN/WHO framework on continuum of maternal, newborn, child health care, this study evaluated toward achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 5 by December 2015. The changes outcomes 2012–2013 associated with maternal interventions were assessed.

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to compare the clinical performance and gingival sulcus width changes in partially edentulous patients using cotton polymer retraction cords. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty were divided into 2 groups (Gp C Gp P) subjected single crown/fixed partial denture treatment. Clinical parameters, including plaque index scores, placement time, hemorrhage control assessed. Gingival before after evaluated individual type 4 dental stone dies observed under an optical...

Lassa fever is a deadly viral disease whose incubation period ranges from six to twenty-one days and about eighty percent of virus infection asymptomatic. A deterministic model was formulated quantify the transmission dynamics under isolation treatment isolated asymptomatic symptomatic humans for effective management possible elimination disease. The solutions were shown be positive bounded. Equilibrium analysis conducted both disease-free endemic equilibria derived. threshold quantity ,...

Background: Stroke in young adults is relatively uncommon. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most valuable tools for diagnosis of stroke. Recent data on stroke Nigeria sparse. The aim this study to document pattern patients aged 15-45 years with suspected cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) Nigerian environment. Materials Methods: This was a retrospective 69 years, clinical stroke, referred neuro-imaging, from October 2008 November 2013. All within age group...
