Rheumatology meets radiology in the hot soup of Gutta

چکیده
If left untreated, gout may result in radiographic abnormalities, that is, cartilage loss and periarticular osteopenia plus more-or-less gout-specific radiographic abnormalities: spurs, sclerosis, and periostal new bone formation. In the current issue, Dalbeth and colleagues describe findings from about 800 joints in 20 mostly tophaceous patients, which can help clinicians to identify osteopathologic gout: spurs, osteosclerosis, ankylosis and periostal new bone formation, all symptoms of advanced, untreated gout. These are hallmarks of chronic untreated gout and are to be prevented.

Effect of Post-Space Preparation on Apical Seal of Endodontically Treated Teeth
ABSTRACT By restoration of pulpally exposed teeth with root canal therapy edentulous areas and neighbouring teeth displacement can be avoided. Prefabricated posts may be used for crown restoration of these teeth. For the preparation of root canal for post placement, Gutta percha should be removed by means of mechanical, thermal and chemical agents. To study the amount of apical leakage in vit...
متن کاملEffect of Different Qutta-Percha Tapers on the Compaction Index of Root Canals Obturated with Stainless Steel and Nickel-Titanium Finger Spreaders
Introduction The most common approach for obturation of roots, which are treated endodontically, is lateral condensation. Finger spreaders have an essential role in packing the gutta-percha cones. We carried out this research to compare the compaction index of root canal obturation obtained with stainless steel (SS) spreader, nickel-titanium (NiTi) spreader, and different gutta-percha tapers. ...

متن کاملEffect of Different Tapered Gutta Percha Cones in Apical Microleakage of Human Root Canal Obturation
Background and purpose: Gutta-percha is generally accepted as the main canal filler. Standard gutta-percha cones are available in 2-10% tapers. The purpose of this study was to compare apical microleakage of canals obturated with different tapers of gutta-percha, using the protein penetration technique. Materials and methods: In this study, 96 maxillary anterior teeth were selected and were pr...
متن کاملGamma Radiation Measurement due to Natural Radioactivity in Hot Water Spring of Behbahan
Introduction: Many people use hot water springs to treat some diseases, such as rheumatism, arthritis, and skin diseases, but they are unaware of the presence of natural radioactive substances that may be found in hot water springs. An effective way to understand the radiation risk of these elements are measuring the dose rate of radiation. In this study, for the first time, ga...
