Young people have been hit by the lack of income and broken expectations. In consequence, youth groups emerge and arrange for members' economic revenue as well as identity creation and confidence. Religion in some cases is used to legitimize violence and to ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the success rate of surgical corrections of constant and intermittent exotropias. STUDY DESIGN A case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi, from July 2011 to December 2012. METHODOLOGY Patients having primary exotropia (deviation 15 - 45 prism diopters [PD]) were included. Patients with either constant exotropia or basic intermittent e...

BACKGROUND/AIM Gingival recession progression in clinical practice has influenced the development of various surgical procedures and techniques for solving esthetic imperfections and subjective difficulties coused by gingival recession. The aim of this study was to verify efficacy of surgical procedures and to compare both of surgical procedures through the keratinized tissue width. METHODS T...

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to evaluate the dependence of gingival recession, malocclusion and factors that may lead to recessions of the gingiva in patients applying for orthodontical treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved 52 randomly selected patients treated with fixed appliances due to occlusal irregularities and dental abnormalities. Data obtained from the examination an...

OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the periodontal status and risk factors for gingival recession in individuals with tongue piercings. METHODS Sixty cases (individuals with tongue piercings) and 120 controls (non-users) in Brazil, between 13 and 28 years of age, from both genders and a mix of races were selected. The clinical evaluation of patient oral health records incl...

This paper derives approximate ‘sunset’ similarity solutions for receding plane strain and radially symmetric hydraulic fractures in permeable elastic media close to the point of closure. Local analysis is used show that a fracture has linear aperture asymptote $\hat {w}\sim \hat {s}$ tip, where distance from front. Due regularity asymptote, it possible determine form power series expansions, w...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Recently allogenic mesenchymal stem cells are proposed to have multipotential progenitor cell capabilities to differentiate into cementoblasts, osteoblasts, and periodontal ligament fibroblasts. PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of human umbilical stem cells cultured on polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA) membrane with PLA/PGA...

Gingival recession is displacement of the soft tissue margin apically leading to root surface exposure. Tooth malpositions, high muscle attachment, frenal pull have been associated with gingival tissue recession. Occlusal trauma is defined as injury resulting in tissue changes within the attachment apparatus as a result of occlusal forces. Trauma from occlusion may cause a shift in tooth positi...
