statement of problem: endodontically treated teeth are more prone to fracture. the post and core are often used to provide the necessary retention for prosthetic rehabilitation. objectives: the purpose of this study was to: 1) compare the fracture strength of endodontically treated teeth restored either with nickel-chromium (ni- cr) post or non- precious gold-color alloy (npg) post compared to ...

introduction criteria for starting weight-bearing on the heel with a symptomatic calcaneal insufficiency fracture have not yet been reported. case presentation we describe a rare case of a 52-year-old woman with a calcaneal insufficiency fracture who sustained a second ipsilateral calcaneal insufficiency fracture within a short time span. the initial fracture was not evident radiographically, b...

introduction : limb fracture is always accompanied by a sever pain that doctors try to reduce it when they treat such fractures and this in turn results in a better treatment. hematoma-block is one of the ways that is used to reduce the pain in colle’s fracture. this study examines the clinical analgesia in reduction of colle’s fracture by hematoma-block. materials & methods : in this quasi exp...

investigating the frequency of traumatic nasal bone fracture in patients with and without old septal deviation and possible deviation. prospective study of 105 patients with nose trauma conducted and cases were divided into two groups: a study group 35 patients with nasal fracture and a control group of 70 patients without nasal fracture. diagnosis of septal condition was made by anterior rhino...

The study of mechanical behavior of the structural steel S400 under quasi- static and dynamic loading has been the subject of this investigation. In oder to obtain different stress - triaxiality conditions the specimens were notched with 1, 1.5, 2 and 3.5 mm notch radius. The results of fractography show as the velocity of tension increases, ductility reduces and a ductile-brittle transition oc...

Background: Surgery in the time of COVID-19 pandemic is a challenging issue while treatment of affected fracturepatients is inevitable. The present study summarizes the challenges that an orthopedic surgeon is confronting duringthe surgical treatment of fracture patients with concomitant COVID-19 infection.Methods: Demographic and fracture related data of 13 fracture patients ...

Introduction: The restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a topic that has been studied extensively but it is still a challenge for dental practitioners. The aim of this study was to evaluate fracture resistance, fracture patterns and fracture location of endodontically treated human maxillary premolars restored with direct and indirect composite resin and ceramic restoration. Methods: E...

UNLABELLED Patient characteristics contributing to imminent risk for fracture, defined as risk of near-term fracture within the next 12 to 24 months, have not been well defined. In patients without recent fracture, we identified factors predicting imminent risk for vertebral/nonvertebral fracture, including falls, age, comorbidities, and other potential fall risk factors. PURPOSE Several fact...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of antioxidant molecules melatonin and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on fracture healing under ischemic conditions. METHODS A right tibia fracture was created and fixed with an intramedullary pin in forty four male Wistar-albino rats. The rats were then randomly allocated to fracture, fracture-ischemia, fracture- ischemia-me...
