The pattern of responding on a peak-interval timing task allows one to make inferences regarding the sources of variation that contribute to interval timing behavior. Non-temporal factors such as impulsivity may impact the validity of these inferences. Rats were trained on a 15s peak-interval procedure (PI) or a mixed 15s behaviorally dependent variable-interval, 15s peak-interval procedure (bd...

A fully bonded m~dtiloop wire appliance for the correction of ectopically erupting permanent molars is described. The appliance allows control in the anteroposterior, vertical, and transverse planes. Ectopically erupting first permanent molars are seen in about 3% of the population.~,2 Sixty-six per cent of ectopically erupting maxillary first permanent molars self-correct by jumping over the i...

Participants judged the affine equivalence of 2 simultaneously presented 4-point patterns. Performance level (d') varied between 1.5 and 2.7, depending on the information available for solving the correspondence problem (insufficient in Experiment 1a, superfluous in Experiment 1b, and minimal in Experiments 1c, 2a, 2b) and on the exposure time (unlimited in Experiments 1 and 2a and 500 ms in Ex...

Abstract Ameloblastic fibroma is a relatively rare benign odontogenic tumor with two neoplastic components both epithelial and ectomesenchymal. A 10-year-old girl was referred to a dentist for routine dental treatments for evaluation of the distance between mandibular right first permanent molar and mandibular right second deciduous molar and it was associated with an undesirable backward mov...

  Abstract Introduction: Third molars  are the last teeth to grow and require more attention in the oral cavity because they can leave pathological effects. Considering the controversy clinical decisions about asymptomatic third molars, dentists’ lack of attention to over third molars developed during therapeutic recom-mendations for patients, and limited evidence about the effects of asympt...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Premature loss of mandibular first molar is a common problem in adults. Mesial tipping of second molar may occur in this situation. Various orthodontic mechanics have been proposed for molar uprighting. The aim of this study was to compare four methods of molar uprighting using Finite Element Analysis(FEM). METHODS: In first model of this finite element study, a 0.019...

a healthy female was referred to endodontic department. the referral letter from her dentist expressed that an emergency pulpotomy of tooth #27 had been carried out with probable perforation of the chamber floor which was due to the unusual anatomy of the chamber. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) revealed that the tooth had two mesial and two distal canals. perforation site was repaired and...
