Vital Pulp Protection and Therapy (VPPT) is the treatment that maintains pulp tissue in a healthy and functional state, whenever the dentin-pulp complex has been compromised by caries, trauma or restorative procedures. Pulp vitality and function is not essential for mature tooth survival. Mature permanent teeth without a vital pulp can survive for a long time after a successful endodontic treat...

background an appropriate and well-timed surgery has great impact on a patient’s treatment and can prevent further damage to partially injured structures which if untreated will be lost leading to severe disability. in the present study we report our experience with early coverage of electrically injured upper extremity vital structures with encouraging results. objectives the aim of this study...

Background: Through-knee amputation provides a longer lever arm and improved muscle control of the limb compared with above-knee amputation. Through-knee amputation also allows use of a total end-bearing prosthesis, which avoids the ischial pressure and suspension belts required of the above-knee amputation prosthesis. Several reports in the European literature tout the superiority of the throu...

BACKGROUND An unplanned ICU admission of an inpatient is a serious adverse event (SAE). So far, no in depth-study has been performed to systematically analyse the root causes of unplanned ICU-admissions. The primary aim of this study was to identify the healthcare worker-, organisational-, technical,- disease- and patient- related causes that contribute to acute unplanned ICU admissions from ge...

Objective-  To study the effect of digit amputation on animal survival, and distribution of   lesions on limbs, days in milk and parity in operated cows.   Design- Retrospective descriptive study.   Animals- Thirteen cows in a dairy herd consisting 1100 lactating Holstein cows.   Procedures- Digit amputation by using a loop wire after inducing local intravenous anesthesia. Results- Digits of ...

objective: pulp regeneration within the root canal of necrotic teeth is considered an ideal treatment to allow for continued root development and recover teeth vitality. this study aims to evaluate the inductive effect of platelet-rich plasma (prp) on expression of angiogenesis factors and pulpal revascularization of immature necrotic teeth. materials and methods: in this experimental animal st...

INTRODUCTION The fracture strength of endodontically treated teeth compared to vital ones has long been a source of controversy. It is not clear how root canal therapy affects the stress distribution in teeth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in stress distribution after root canal therapy in a human maxillary canine by finite element analysis (FEM). MATERIALS AND METHODS...

BACKGROUND There were no recent reports of community-based surveys on the incidence, level and causes of amputation in Japan. OBJECTIVES To identify any changes in the incidence, level, causes of amputation and gender distribution. STUDY DESIGN A community-based survey. METHODS The subjects were Kitakyushu-citizens amputated between 2001 and 2005 and selected based on medical certificates...

In order to determine whether lower limb amputation changes the social life and free time activities of persons who were at the time of amputation young, a questionnaire was sent to 519 persons after trans-tibial or higher level of lower limb amputation who were at the time of amputation younger than 51 years, amputated because of injury, permanently resident in Slovenia and had visited the out...
