Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between initial probing depth (IPD) and changes in clinical parameters following non-surgical periodontal treatment (NPT) in chronic periodontitis patients. Subjects and Methods A total of 1672 periodontal pockets having 3mm≤IPD≤9mm of depth in 15 chronic periodontitis patients were included. NPT consisting of oral hygiene instruc...

plant performance and freshness is related to the pattern of its root growth development, which is highly affected by the water amount and water use management. therefore, the spatiotemporal variation of maize root under five treatments including full irrigation treatment (fi), partial root-zone drying treatments at two levels (receiving 75% of et =prd75, and 55% of et= prd55) and deficit irrig...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of root resorption during orthodontic treatment of patients with aplasia, and to analyse the relative importance of some anamnestic and treatment variables. The subjects comprised 68 orthodontically treated patients with 1-16 congenitally missing teeth. The age of the patients was 11-20 years (mean 15 years). All patients were treated with fixed ed...

Introduction: Maxillary canines have important roles in facial appearance, development of arch, and functional occlusion. Radiographs are important in evaluating the location and nature of these anomalies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two types of 2D and 3D imaging technique in diagnosis and treatment of maxillary impacted canines. Methods: Thirty eight patients (50 impacted canine...

Background and Aim: The main goal of root canal treatment is to prevent or treat apical periodontitis. The aim of the present study was to assess the coronal restoration status, root canal filling quality, periapical health condition, and related factors in endodontically treated teeth at the Dental Faculty of Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, in 2011-12. Materials and...

Complex and unusual root canal morphology is an often occurring phenomenon. Understanding the unusual root canal morphology contributes to success in endodontic treatment. One such variant root canal morphology is the 'S' shaped or bayonet shaped root canal. This case report discusses endodontic treatment of a maxillary second premolar with an 'S' shaped root canal.

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of severe external root resorption and its potential risk factors resulting from orthodontic treatment. METHODS A randomly selected sample was used. It comprised conventional periapical radiographs taken in the same radiology center for maxillary and mandibular incisors before and after active orthodontic treatment of 129 patients, males and females, treated...

Background Patients who received orthodontic treatment are likely to have apical root shortening. It appears that external apical root resorption results from a combination of patient-related risk factors such as genetic influences, systemic factors, and orthodontic treatment-related factors. Regarding the fact that the anterior segmental osteotomy (ASO) has been known for its possibility of co...

BACKGROUND Herniated lumbar intervertebral disc (HLID) is a pathological condition frequently seen in rehabilitation medicine that is characterized by the compression of one or more nerve roots. AIM The aim of this study was to describe the effects of Global Postural Reeducation on function and pain in patients with herniated disc at levels L4-L5 and/or L5-S1. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-f...
