introduction: implant bed preparation with laser is taken into consideration owing to the increased interest in use of lasers in hard tissue surgery. the purpose of this study is to determine the deviations in the position and inclination between the planned and prepared implant beds with erbium, chromium doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet (er,cr: ysgg) laser using stereolithographic (sla) s...

BACKGROUND Pyelocaliceal calculi flexible ureteroscopic approach raises problems related to operative time, associated morbidity and costs, especially by potential endoscope damage. METHODS 5 series, each of 20 patients with single pyelocaliceal lithiasis, were analyzed: Group I with calculi 1 cm fragmented to dust, Group II with calculi 1 cm with lithotripsy in fragments, Group III with calc...

Background: Dentin sensitivity is one of the most important problems in dentistry. Enamel loss due to root exposure is serious issue and common exposure is one of the reasons for dentin hypersensitivity. There are different methods for solving this problem. One of the most conservative and least expensive methods is use of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste. Objec...
