conservation of deciduous teeth with pulp alterations caused by caries or trauma is a major therapeutic challenge in pediatric dentistry. it is essential that the sanitizers used in root canal procedures perform well in eliminating bacteria. antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (pdt) is an emerging and promising adjuvant therapy for endodontic treatment in an attempt to eliminate microorganisms p...

Flare ups during endodontic treatment is an undesirable occurrence for both patient and clinician. Flare up phenomena is complex and not well understood which involves number of hypotheses for its etiology. Causes are numerous which include chemical, mechanical, microbial injuries to pulp and periapical tissues. This review discuss about the various etiological aspect and the management of flar...

The formation of chromophores and leucochromophores during the manufacturing of thermomechanical pulp (TMP) has been investigated. As analytical tools, advanced UV-VIS and NMR spectroscopy have been used. With the exception of some pilot plant scale refining experiments, that were carried out at Valmet Fibertech (Sundsvall), the work has been conducted at the Royal Institute of Technology (Stoc...

In this paper we present and discuss all aspects of controlling a realworld delay-time system application, the pulp bleaching process at Irving Paper Ltd. The bleaching process was thoroughly studied and modelled. A delay-time estimator was designed to tackle the problem of the long variable delay time, which was considered the biggest challenge in this project. The model predictive control (MP...
