BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Fluoride is being used for the prevention of dental caries since a long time. Incorporation of fluoride in pit and fissure sealants has been found to reduce initiation and progression of pit and fissure caries. Authors conducted this study to evaluate and compare the effect of fluoride releasing pit and fissure sealants on the inhibition of demineralization of adjacent...

To determine the normal appearance of the flax and interhemispheric fissure, 200 consecutive normal CT scans were evaluated prospectively. On unenhanced scans, the normal falx is visualized in 90% of patients and therefore interhemispheric hyperdensity alone should not be considered a sign of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The flax is most often (88%) visualized in the posterior part of the interhemi...

Tue recognised validity of iontophoresis in promoting the dennal or transdennal transport of biologically active compounds, mainly ionized species, to gain a systemic effect, is related to an accurately and controlled choice of materials and devices, as well as of the operative conditions used for its realization. Extensive work has been done with in vitro experimental models to better define t...
