results most dental students had cavity preparation, handwriting and drawing skills above the average. a significant correlation was found between drawing and tooth preparation skills (p < 0.05). background acquiring fine psychomotor skills is challenging for dental students. objectives this study aimed to assess the correlation of cavity preparation skills with drawing skills and handwriting o...

a new mixed  halo chromate  nanoparticle compound was synthesised and characterized. triphenylphosphonium trifluoroiodochromate (iii)[p(c6h5)3h]+[crf3i]- nanoparticle was synthesized by using triphenylphosphonium  iodide reaction with crf3, in the presence of  3-mercaptopropionic acid. this method is a simple and direct method. the product was characterized by spectroscopic and analytical metho...

a novel potentiometric ion-selective pvc membrane sensor for analysis of atorvastatin (at) in pharmaceutical preparations based on atorvastatin-(tetraphenyl borate), (at-(tpb)2) as sensing element, tetraphenyl borate as additive and tris-2-ethyl-hexyl phosphate (top) as plasticizer solvent was prepared. the electrode shows a good nernestian response over the concentration range of 0.09–5586 µg ...

the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of medication errors happened during the preparation and administration of intravenous (iv) drugs. this study was designed as prospective cross-sectional evaluations by direct unconcealed observation in a setting consisted of orthopedic, general surgery and gastroenterology wards of a teaching hospital. participants were those patients hospit...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of hand and rotary instruments on fracture strength of tooth roots. materials & methods: thirty two teeth were randomly divided into two experimental groups of 15 each and one negative control group with two samples. in group 1, step-back technique with conventional stainless steel k-files was used, and in group 2, instrumen...

introduction: preparation techniques and instruments produce and push debris out of canals. this can induce inflammation within the periapical area. therefore, instrumentation that causes less extrusion of debris is more desirable. the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the quantity of debris extruded from the apical foramen during root canal preparation by using one hand, and two r...

various and complex human activities in geographical contexts need proper ground if at most efficiency is to be achieved. land preparation regulates the relationship between human, space, and human activities. land preparation has various dimensions related to value system, political, scientific, artistic, and defense-security aspects. one of the most important dimensions of land preparation is...

one of the major challenges in mega cities is the degree of the preparedness of organizations, institutions and people in facing with critical conditions and their immediate reaction according to pre-defined instructions. identification of priorities and acting accordingly is an undeniable factor in urban crisis management. the purpose of this research was to identify the priorities of prepared...

many modern analytical methods deal with the trace-level determination of compounds of interest in highly complex environmental samples by means of chromatographic techniques. the introduction of a “clean” sample into an analytical instrument can make analyses easier and prolongs the equipment life. the use of solid-phase extraction (spe) has grown and is a fertile technique of sample preparati...
