AIM Pulp stones are discrete calcified bodies found in the dental pulp. Sialolithasis is the most common salivary gland disease. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between the pulp stones and salivary gland stones. MATERIAL AND METHODS 196 patients were randomly selected from the out patient department for the study. The periapical radiographs for all patients were...

BACKGROUND Recent studies reported on the very complex morphology of the pulp system in equine cheek teeth. The continuous production of secondary dentine leads to distinct age-related changes of the endodontic cavity. Detailed anatomical knowledge of the dental cavities in all ages is required to explain the aetiopathology of typical equine endodontic diseases. Furthermore, data on mandibular ...

Petha (tT3T). The large fruit or gourd is a culinary vegetable, and is extensively cultivated all over India for this purpose. The pulp of the ripe fruit is a specific for haemoptysis, for which it is much esteemed, and extensively used by native physicians. It would appear that the older Sanscrit writers were not acquainted with this property of the article. The Kajnirghanta, the oldest work o...

The response of the dental pulp to calcium hydroxide or zinc oxide and eugenol cement was investigated histopathologically, using the germ-free and conventional rats. The upper first molar pulp was exposed with a p1/2 round bur through the mesial surface of the teeth and covered with the capping agents. The observation period was 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14 and 28 days postoperatively. The results obtai...

Beet pulp contains high amounts of pectins that can reduce the risk of rumen disorders compared to using feedstuffs high in starch. The objective was to study the effects of inclusion of ensiled pressed beet pulp in total mixed rations (TMR) for high-yielding dairy cows. Two TMR containing no or about 20% (on dry matter (DM) basis) beet pulp silage were used. The beet pulp silage mainly replace...

introduction: knowledge of the anatomic location and dimension of the molar pulp chamber may preserve healthy pulp during operative procedure and reduce risk of perforation of chamber during access preparation. a review of literatures regarding the morphology of pulp chamber however revealed very little information; so the aim of this in vivo study was to measure the dimensions of first molar p...

Tomatoes are one of the most frequently consumed crops in world, and they can be cultivated all year using present production methods. produced for either manufacturing tomato paste, pulp, sauce, ketchup or as fresh fruit. However, excessive moisture levels tomatoes generally result increased water activity that promotes quality degradation increases enzymatic activity, which leads to microbial...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Pulp stones are calcifications found in the pulp chamber or pulp canals of the teeth. Its different prevalence in different population is a matter of concern. PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the prevalence of pulp stones in a sample of Iranian population and to report its occurrence regarding gender, dental arch, tooth type and dental status. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which affects the healing ability of the pulp and periodontium. The aim of the present study was to assess the histopathologic response of dental pulp to pulp capping using MTA or CEM cement in diabetic rats. Thirty two Wistar male rats aged between 8 and 10 weeks (weight: 200-250g) were divided into two groups of diabetic (n=16) and healthy (n=16) animals...

The effect of ultrafiltered xylanase-pectinase concoction produced simultaneously by a bacterial isolate using agro-waste-based media was assessed in prebleaching of plywood waste pulp. Ultrafiltered enzymes caused 12.5% reduction in kappa number at reduced enzyme dose of xylanase-pectinase (4.0-0.8 IU) per gram of pulp under optimized conditions at pH 8.5, temperature 55 °C, and treatment peri...
