AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of calcium hydroxide dressing on the filling of simulated lateral canals by different obturation techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty single-root-premolars were instrumented. Simulated lateral canals were drilled on each third of the roots. The teeth were divided into four groups: no dressing and obturation by lateral condensation ...

BACKGROUND Hypertension (HTN) is the most commonly encountered systemic disease in general population. Nutrient canals contain blood vessels and nerves that mostly appear in the anterior mandibular region. Nutrient canals are not detected in radiographs of all patients, and their normalcy is controversial by many investigators. OBJECTIVES The present study investigated the correlation between...

PURPOSE This study compared the bone regeneration response of different bone graft materials inside canals within anodized titanium implants in cortical and cancellous bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Upper and lower transverse canals were created in anodic oxidized-surface titanium implants to serve as sites for cortical and cancellous bone regeneration, respectively. The canals were filled with ...

BACKGROUND Traditional radiography is limited in its ability to give reliable information on the number and morphology of root canals. The application of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides a non-invasive three-dimensional confirmatory diagnosis as a complement to conventional radiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the root and canal morphology of mandibular premolars in a...

The Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) Aerotropolis area, Kulon Progo, is in an area prone to flooding. Some areas are flooded during the rainy season, including Carik drainage channel that flows discharge into Bogowonto River on west side and Serang of east. This paper describes results investigation flood inundation occurred system YIA determine causes inundation. data were collected from...

Context The identification of root canals plays an important role in successful endodontic diagnosis and treatment. An inappropriate identification of canal resulting in incomplete removal of pulp tissue from the root canals is the main reason for the failure of endodontic treatment in molars. Radiographic imaging is an essential investigative tool in successful endodontics. Cone beam computed ...

OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy of Reciproc(®) (VDW GmbH) and ProFile(®) (Dentsply Maillefer) instruments at removing gutta-percha from straight and curved root canals ex vivo filled using the cold lateral condensation and GuttaMaster(®) (VDW GmbH) techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty mesial roots of mandibular molars with two curved canals and 80 single-rooted teeth with straight root c...

Lotic freshwater ecosystems are among the most threatened worldwide due to effects of multiple stressors, such as intensive land use in their catchments, morphological alterations, flow regulation, pollution, and climate change. Odonata often used valuable indicators ecological integrity anthropogenic disturbance habitats. Here, we present results a study on assemblages anthropogenically impact...

Apart from being a buffer for environmental ecosystems, the existence of coastal areas also plays role as economy community and country. Disturbances in due to disasters will affect life society This study describes risks impacts that occurred Rawaurip Village, Pangenan District, Cirebon Regency, looks alternatives dealing with these disaster risks. uses qualitative methods, interview data coll...

for the anterior vertical, posterior vertical and horizontal canals respectively. The differences in growth exponents between the anterior and posterior vertical semicircular canals and between the anterior vertical and horizontal semicircular canals were statistically significant (P < 002 and P < 005 respectively). 2. Body mass and standard length were almost equally good predictors of the rad...
