METHODS We reviewed our experience in 204 patients who underwent repair of spontaneous acute type A aortic dissection between January 2000...

The clinical effect of feldspar ceramics and lithium disilicate reinforced glass was studied. 57 affected teeth with complete root canal treatment computer aided design/computer manufacturing (CAD/CAM) endocrown restoration were reviewed 24-36 months aftercompletion the restoration. These dimensions including anatomical morphology, proximal contact , color matching, edge integrity, coloring, se...

accurately localizing the mental foramen and mandibular canal is important when administering local anesthesia and performing surgery; therefore, knowing the normal range of the possible locations is essential. our purpose was to assess the location of the mental foramen and mandibular canal in an iranian population using panoramic radiography.standard panoramic radiographies were performed. th...
