The latest edition of the Physician Executive Compensation Survey reflects the reality of a slow economic recovery and the uncertainty of health care reform. As self-reported by 2,364 physician executives, compensation grew an average of 7 percent between 2010 and 2012 across all titles. That two-year growth rate is essentially the same as reported in the 2011 survey (6 percent between 2008 and...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical phenytoin on creeping attachment. METHODS: In this pilot quasi-experimental study, 8 patients referring to Kerman School of Dentistry, Kerman, Iran with Miller class I or II gingival recessions were selected using convenient non-random sampling if they needed root coverage and met the study's inclusion criteria. The...

Several techniques and materials have been introduced for the treatment of gingival recession defects. This article reports the case of a 43-year old female patient with chief complaint of esthetic problem, presenting multiple gingival recession defects in anterior maxilla. CenoDerm combined with coronally positioned flap was used for management of six teeth with gingival recession. Complete ro...

Accelerated sea level rise (SLR) in the twenty-first century will result in unprecedented coastal recession, threatening billions of dollars worth of coastal developments and infrastructure. Therefore, we cannot continue to depend on the highly uncertain coastal recession estimates obtained via the simple, deterministic method (Bruun rule) that has been widely used over the last 50 years. Furth...

The deterioration of built heritage is a major concern for many countries. In the specific case brick buildings, degradation depends on several factors such as chemical and mineralogical composition porosity bricks, floor insulation exposure to environmental conditions. This paper applies probabilistic Bayesian approach identifying pattern recession walls using digital photogrammetry data. Two ...

It has been suggested that proclination of the lower incisors results in gingival recession. Proclination is, however, a valuable alternative to extraction especially when considering facial aesthetics in adult patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the extent of labial movement of the lower incisors and the prevalence and severity of gingival recession in ortho...

PURPOSE The hang-back suture technique has been advocated to decrease the risk of scleral perforation during strabismus surgery. In this study, we evaluated the muscle insertion site in rabbits 4 weeks after a hang-back recession was performed. METHODS Twenty-five eyes of 13 rabbits underwent hang-back recessions of between 5 and 8 mm of the superior rectus muscle. Four weeks later, the attac...
