PURPOSE Connective tissue reattachment to periodontally damaged root surfaces is one of the most important goals of periodontal therapy. The aim of this study was to develop a root conditioning agent that can demineralize and detoxify the infected root surface. METHODS Dentin slices obtained from human teeth were treated with a novel root planing agent for 2 minutes and then washed with phosp...

Dens invagination (DI) is a developmental abnormality of teeth which frequently results in a complex internal anatomy of the root canal system. DI type 3 is an anomaly characterized by infolding of enamel and dentin extending into the root apex. This may present difficulties when forming a diagnosis and treatment plan. Many treatment modalities have been presented in case reports for DI type 3,...

statement of the problem using cbct to determine root morphology minimizes rate of treatment failure and adverse effects, such as gouging and perforations. purpose the aim of this study was to assess morphology of root canals using cbct scans. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study, conducted in the radiology department of hamadan dental school in 2011‒2012, 66 cbct scans were stud...

We describe a modified valve-sparing aortic root replacement technique for acute type A aortic dissection. After the normal root geometry was restored by removing blood and clots in the proximal false lumen and the valve insufficiency was corrected by simple resuspension of the aortic commissures, three teardrop-shaped patches were sutured inside the sinuses as neointima and then in situ corona...

Alcoved polytopes of Lie type A are polytopes whose facets are orthognal to the roots of root system An−1. An alcoved polytope of type An−1 is generic if it has two facets orthogonal to each root in An−1. In this paper, we prove that there is one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of generic alcoved polytopes of type An−1 and regular central subdivisions of the root polytope of A...

Two pathways exist for plant Pi uptake from soil: via root epidermal cells (direct pathway) or via associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, and the two pathways interact in a complex manner. This study investigated distal and local effects of AM colonization on direct root Pi uptake and root growth, at different soil P levels. Medicago truncatula was grown at three soil P levels in ...

In this talk we introduce generalised Calogero–Moser models and demonstrate their integrability by constructing universal Lax pair operators. These include models based on non-crystallographic root systems, that is the root systems of the finite reflection groups, H3, H4, and the dihedral group I2(m), besides the well-known ones based on crystallographic root systems, namely those associated wi...

TRH1 is a member of the AtKT/AtKUP/AtHAK family of potassium carriers that is required for root hair elongation and AKT1 is an inward rectifying potassium channel expressed in the root epidermis, endodermis and cortex of Arabidopsis thaliana. Plants homozygous for the trh1-1 mutation form short root hairs. The Trh1(-) phenotype cannot be suppressed by growing plants homozygous for the trh1-1 mu...
