Background and aims. Nano-ionomer (NI) interacts with tooth structures superficially, and there is a concern about the enamel bonding ability of mild self-etch Ketac primer. This study compared the effect of different adhesive procedures (self-etching and etch-and-rinse approach) on long-term marginal microleakage of nano-filled resin-modified glass-ionomer (NI) cervical restorations. Materials...

The clinical, pathological, and microbiological features of 18 pregnancies complicated by intrauterine infection with Candida sp. are described. Chorioamnionitis with Candida sp. can be recognised macroscopically at birth. Penetration of the umbilical cord and membranes is associated with an intense fetal inflammatory response. The infection characteristically presents in infants of very low bi...

abstract background: to compare pregnancy outcomes in women at risk for cervical incompetence after elective versus ultrasound- indicated cerclage. methods: in a prospective randomized tlial, singleton pregnancies with at least one previous spontaneous midtrimester loss or early preterm delivery (between 15 and 32 weeks' gestation) who met clinical crite1ia for the diagnosis of cervical in...

BACKGROUND Lower thoracic epidural anaesthesia and analgesia (EDA) has gained increasing importance in perioperative pain therapy. The loss-of-resistance technique used to identify the epidural space is thought to rely on the penetration of the ligamentum flavum. Investigations at the cervical and lumbar regions have demonstrated that the ligamentum flavum frequently exhibits incomplete fusion ...

AIM Laminar screw technique is used to stabilize C2 and other levels when other techniques cannot be performed. MATERIAL AND METHODS The patients underwent laminar screws at cervical and upper thoracic levels in our clinic during 5 yearswere evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS In 25 patients, 6 to 82 years old,total 54 laminar screws were used. Most frequent diagnoses were cervical spinal st...

Background: Microleakage is defined as the passage of bacteria, fluid, molecules or ions between cavity walls and restorative material. There are limited studies in literature that have compared microleakage newer materials. Therefore, aim this study to compare evaluate Class II primary molars restored with glass ionomer cement, zirconomer cention N using stereomicroscope. Method: Standardized ...
