Seedlings of Rhizophora mangle L., Avicennia germinans (L.) Stearn., and Laguncularia racemosa (L.) Gaertn. f. were cultured in aerated or N(2)-purged solution for 12 weeks to assess their relative responses to low oxygen tensions. All three species responded to low oxygen treatment by modifying physiological and morphological patterns to decrease carbon loss by root respiration. However, the e...

The main objective of nonsurgical endodontic treatment is to eliminate micro-organisms from the root canal system. Adequate knowledge of the root canal morphology and its complexities is essential to render successful endodontic treatment. Variations in tooth form and morphology may be found in the form of anomalous cusps in the crown region or additional roots. In permanent molars, changes in ...

a case of unusual root morphology is presented to demonstrate anatomic variations in mandibular second molars. the most common configuration of mandibular second molar is to have two roots with three root canals; however mandibular molars may have many different combinations. endodontic therapy was performed in a mandibular second molar with 3 separate roots 2 located mesially and one distally....

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Both sediment and light are essential factors regulating the growth of submerged macrophytes, but the role of these two factors in regulating root morphology and physiology is far from clear. The responses of root morphology and physiology to sediment type and light availability in the submerged plant Myriophyllum spicatum were studied and the hypothesis was tested that a tr...

introduction: the present study was conducted to assess the morphology of mandibular canines using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) in a north iranian population. methods and materials: for the morphological assessment of mandibular canines, 150 cbct images taken from patients for different reasons were used. the mandibular canines were examined in sagittal, coronal and axial dimensions. th...

Endodontic therapy of mandibular molars is a challenging task due to its varied root canal morphology. A mandibular first molar with additional buccal root (Radix paramolaris) and additional distolingual root (Radix Entomolaris) is an example of its varied anatomy. A successful management of atypical root canal configurations is an important aspect in determining the success rate of root canal ...

statement of the problem using cbct to determine root morphology minimizes rate of treatment failure and adverse effects, such as gouging and perforations. purpose the aim of this study was to assess morphology of root canals using cbct scans. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study, conducted in the radiology department of hamadan dental school in 2011‒2012, 66 cbct scans were stud...

successful root canal treatment requires adequate knowledge regarding morphologic variations in root canal system of teeth. this report describes a six-canalled mandibular first molar with four mesial root canals requiring endodontic retreatment. the two additional canals in the mesial root were found during retreatment with the aid of illumination and magnification. in conclusion, the possibil...

Running title: Root and canal morphology of maxillary first premolar teeth Abstract Aim : To determine the variations in the root and canal morphology of the maxillary first premolar teeth in a Ugandan population. Methodology : Extracted maxillary first premolar teeth (n = 202) were evaluated in this study. The specimens had their pulp chambers de-roofed. They were decalcified in nitric acid an...

Nitrogen and phosphorous are critical determinants of plant growth and productivity, and both plant growth and root morphology are important parameters for evaluating the effects of supplied nutrients. Previous work has shown that the growth of Acer mono seedlings is retarded under nursery conditions; we applied different levels of N (0, 5, 10, and 15 g plant-1) and P (0, 4, 6 and 8 g plant-1) ...
