How does the inherent asymmetry of the locomotor system in people with lower-limb amputation affect the ankle-foot roll-over shape of prosthetic walking? In a single-case design, we evaluated the walking patterns of six people with lower-limb amputation (3 transtibial and 3 transfemoral) and three matched nondisabled controls. We analyzed the walking patterns in terms of roll-over characteristi...

Successful direct pulp capping of cariously exposed permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis and incomplete apex formation can prevent the need for root canal treatment. A case report is presented which demonstrates the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as a direct pulp capping material for the purpose of continued maturogenesis of the root. Clinical and radiographic follow-up demonstrate...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com but described in the literature but never cases of spontaneous amputation were. The mechanism of thrombosis is not fully elucidated, but as a rule, the disease affects small vessels. Talking about spontaneous amputation nowadays seems out of date, as it’s almost impossible; yet, it is the case of the 38 years old man, known as a drug addict with not...

Upper-limb amputation can cause a great deal of functional impairment for patients, particularly for those with amputation at or above the elbow. Our long-term objective is to improve functional outcomes for patients with amputation by integrating a fully implanted electromyographic (EMG) recording system with a wireless telemetry system that communicates with the patient's prosthesis. We belie...

Mortal pulpotomy is the most commonly used technique in Bulgaria for treatment of pulp chronic infections in primary teeth. Data from the special literature reveal another method for pulp treatment in primary teeth – vital pulpotomy associated with good adaptive healing response. During the past several years, special attention has been paid to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate -MTA as probable altern...

Severe trauma to the lower limbs, with major skin loss and the compromise of vital struc­ tures, is often difficult to treat. A combination of several factors such as ability and effort made to distinguish lesion severity – that is, to differentiate recoverable traumas from those that will inevitably progress to amputation – plays an important role. Therefore, indices were developed to facilita...

the technique described below offers temporary crown for the severely damaged vital anterior teeth without resorting to emergency root canal therapy or pin.

dens invagination is a developmental anomaly requiring specific treatment approaches. oehler's type iii dens in dente, extends into the root and perforates at the apical area or lateral surface of the root. in this case endodontic treatment of the invaginated tooth was carried out through the central lumen of the invagination with calcium hydroxide without manipulation of the main pulp canal, t...

Apical periodontitis in permanent children's teeth with incomplete root development is a challenge for endodontists to treat. It is important that highly efficient therapeutic methods and biologically valuable therapies be developed to prevent the loss of these teeth. The AIM of the study was to review modern literature on revascularization of non-vital permanent teeth with incomplete root deve...

Research evolution regarding dental research determines the increase of patient's desire to preserve their dentition for a long time. The loss of a molar tooth as the last teeth present on the dental arch, raises issues regarding how the prosthesis should be placed, still patients are usually reluctant to use as last resort the prosthetic solution. This article describes the technique of root a...
