The ligand field density functional theory (LFDFT) algorithm is extended to treat the electronic structure and properties of systems with three-open-shell electron configurations, exemplified in this work by the calculation of the core and semi-core 1s, 2s, and 3s one-electron excitations in compounds containing transition metal ions. The work presents a model to non-empirically resolve the mul...

The electronic properties of three porphyrin-bridge-anchor photosensitizers are reported with (1a, 1e, 3a and 3e) or without (2a and 2e) an intramolecular dipole in the bridge. The presence and orientation of the bridge dipole is hypothesized to influence the photovoltaic properties due to variations in the intrinsic dipole at the semiconductor-molecule interface. Electrochemical studies of the...

AIM This clinical report describes a conventional resin-based fixed partial denture for a 42-year-old woman to close an edentulous space in the region of the second maxillary premolar. While the first maxillary molar had been crowned with porcelain fused to metal (PFM) system 10 years ago and the first premolar was intact and sound except for a small carious lesion in the distal aspect. The ess...

Oro-Antral Fistula is a communication between Maxillary Sinus and Oral Cavity, Dental diseases has been reported recently in 30% of maxillary sinusitis cases, The Pathophsiology of Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis is different than inflammatory maxillary sinusitis. The aim of this article is to highlight the etiology, symptoms and management of Odontogenic sinusitis in addition management of Oro...

Introduction Variations in the root and canal morphology are a common occurrence. The clinician should have a thorough knowledge of dental anatomy and its variations in order to achieve successful and predictable outcome with root canal treatment. Maxillary first permanent molars are generally considered to be three rooted, one palatal and two buccal. The additional root canal, if present, is t...

Abstract: Human maxillary first molars are usually considered as three-rooted teeth with four root canals for the presence of a second canal in the Mesio Buccal root (MB2). In addition, lateral ramifications and apical delta of the root canal system may frequently occur, increasing the probability of leaving untreated spaces after the root canal therapy. A thorough knowledge of root canal mor...

Tooth transposition, which is a rare condition, is ascribed to the disturbance of tooth eruption and the subsequent abnormal occlusal relationships. Transpositions mostly involve the upper jaw and more frequently occur between the maxillary canine and first premolar. Herein, we present a case of a maxillary canine‒second molar transposition in a thalassemic patient.

IJMDS ● www.ijmds.org ● January 2015; 4(1) 560 Original Article Influence of first premolar extraction on second and third molar angulation A clinical study Tarvade SMT, Biday S ABSTRACT Background: In modern populations, the impaction rate is higher for third molars than for any other tooth. Due to the speculation of third molar role on late incisor crowding, many orthodontists prescribe remov...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to introduce a new method for bilateral distal movement of the entire maxillary posterior segment. CASE REPORT A 17-year-old girl with Class I skeletal malocclusion (end-to-end molar relationships, deviated midline and space deficiency for left maxillary canine) was referred for orthodontic treatment. She did not accept maxillary first premolars extraction....
