Restoration of decayed primary teeth is very important and significant not only for the maintenance of health and psychics of the child but also for the physiological development of permanent dentition. Esthetic materials were formulated for permanent teeth restoration, but they can also be used for the treatment of primary dentition, especially in minimally invasive techniques, atraumatic toot...

A supernumerary tooth is one that is additional to the normal series and can be found in any region of the dental arch. Most of the supernumerary teeth are located in the anterior maxillary region. These supernumerary teeth again are classified according to their presence where they are located and form. These teeth when present may give rise to a variety of clinical problems. The detection of ...

This study evaluated factors that affected pulpectomy (PE) success and its effect on the succedaneous tooth's eruption and enamel formation. Sixty-five of 250 patients with PEs met the selection criteria and yielded 81 zinc oxide-eugenol PEs (30 incisors, 51 molars) followed a mean time of 90.8 months. Overall PE success was 77.7% with no difference between molars and incisors (P = 0.53). Ename...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The retained primary tooth (RPT) is a tooth that remains beyond its exfoliation time, which can cause some problems. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of RPT in unusual ages in Larestan, a city in Fars Province, southern Iran. METHODS: In this cross-sectional population-based study (April-Oct...

We developed a hydrogen arc discharge exfoliation method for the synthesis of graphene sheets (GSs) with excellent electrical conductivity and good thermal stability from graphite oxide (GO), in combination with solution-phase dispersion and centrifugation techniques. It was found that efficient exfoliation and considerable deoxygenation of GO, and defect elimination and healing of exfoliated g...

At present, no animal models fully embody exfoliation syndrome or exfoliation glaucoma. Both genetic and environmental factors appear critical for disease manifestation, and both must be considered when generating animal models. Because mice provide a powerful mammalian platform for modeling complex disease, this paper focuses on mouse models of exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma.

BACKGROUND/AIMS The exact pathogenesis of glaucoma in exfoliation syndrome is unclear. There has been some suggestion that narrow angles are more common in exfoliation syndrome and that this may be a component in the disease. The degree of pigmentation has also been shown to influence the intraocular pressure. The aim was to determine whether gonioscopic features of the anterior chamber angle i...

Nanosheets have attracted much interest because of their characteristic properties originating from anisotropic and flexible structures. Inorganic nanosheets are synthesized from precursor layered compounds through exfoliation in a liquid phase. In contrast, a versatile exfoliation approach has not been fully studied for organic layered compounds. Here we report two exfoliation approaches for o...
