Amenability is a geometric property of convex cones that stronger than facial exposedness and assists in the study error bounds for conic feasibility problems. In this paper we establish numerous properties amenable investigate relationships between amenability other cones, such as niceness projectional exposure. We show compact slice closed cone equivalent to cone, prove several results on pre...

Consideration of genetic factors is an essential element of diagnosis that underlies orofacial traits. In particular, orthodontic clinicians may have an interest in craniofacial growth and tooth movement. These parts of the diagnostic process are important to understand the cause of the problem before attempting treatment. In this chapter, we present our studies on the genetic causes of externa...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the apical root canal adaptation performance of various root canal instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 freshly extracted single-rooted mandibular incisors were used in this study. Coroner parts of all teeth were removed from cemento-enamel junction and root canal of each tooth was explored with a size 8 K-file until the tip of the f...

accumulation of soft tissue or dentinal remnants in the apical region is a common event that can cause blockage of root canals. this event can be avoided if apical patency is performed during the root canal shaping procedures. however, there is no consensus on the role of apical patency in relation to the success of endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis. therefore, th...

Objectives: Different chelators may be used during root canal treatment, offering various advantages including lubricant effect inside the canal and smear layer removal. However, chelator residues in narrow root canals can lead to apical microleakage. The aim of this in-vitro study was to compare apical microleakage following the use of three root canal chelators via fluid filtration method in ...

purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of a) a flame heated endo plugger, b) gatesglidden drills and c) gpx drills on the apical seal for the purpose of post space preparation. materials & methods: the crowns of sixty six extracted maxillary central teeth were removed from cej by a diamond disc and the root canals were prepared and obturated with guttapercha and sealer (ah26)...
