UNLABELLED Many techniques have been proposed for root coverage. However, none of them presents predictable results in deep and wide recessions. OBJECTIVES The aim of this case series report is to describe an alternative technique for root coverage at sites showing deep recessions and attachment loss >4 mm at buccal sites. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four patients presenting deep recession defects...

An unusual case of a second maxillary molar with a dilacerated root visible clinically is described. Apicectomy followed by retrograde amalgam filling was performed whereby gingival coverage and gingival seal was achieved.

In the model of type I censored exponential lifetimes, coverage probabilities are compared for a number of confidence interval constructions proposed in literature. The coverage probabilities are calculated exactly for sample sizes up to 50 and for different degrees of censoring and different degrees of intended confidence. If not only a fair two-sided coverage is desired, but also fair one-sid...

allows us to do a " 10x " on Root Cause Analysis (RCA). It is a 10x in terms of the time it takes to perform root cause analysis and a 10x in terms of the coverage on the defect stream. These productivity enhancements are achieved by raising the level of abstraction and systematizing the analysis methodology. The impact of this productivity boost is far-reaching in its business impact with repo...

Subepithelial connective tissue grafting can be used for root coverage,1 to increase the amount of keratinized tissue2 and to decrease root sensitivity.3 The maxillary tuberosity is reported to have thicker soft tissue than the hard palate and may therefore be a suitable donor source for connective tissue graft.4 In the case described here, subepithelial connective tissue harvested from the tub...

Background Soil moisture deficiency causes yield reduction and instability in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production. The extent of sensitivity to drought stress varies across accessions originating from diverse moisture regimes of the world. Hence, we conducted successive greenhouse experiments in pots and rhizotrons to explore diversity in root responses to soil water deficit. Methods A set o...

One of the most common esthetic concern associated with the periodontal tissues is gingival recession. Gingival recession is the exposure of root surfaces due to apical migration of the gingival tissue margins; gingival margin migrates apical to the cementoenamel junction. Although it rarely results in tooth loss, marginal tissue recession is associated with thermal and tactile sensitivity, est...

For estimating the largest root of autoregressive (AR) models, we propose an instrumental variable scheme which discounts a large value of regressors corresponding to the largest roots. The pivotal value of the estimator of the largest root is asymptotically normal for any value of the largest root. This fact allows us to construct a simple confidence interval based on 6standard error, say, wit...
