INTRODUCTION The aim of surgical treatment in idiopathic scoliosis is correction, solid fusion and restoration of normal sagittal alignment of the spinal curves. The goal of this paper is to formulate a new uniform approach to evaluation of treatment outcomes in idiopathic scoliosis patients, considering not only the degree of correction but also coronal and sagittal balance. MATERIAL AND MET...

BACKGROUND Experimental studies demonstrated that peri-implant crestal hard and soft tissues are significantly influenced in their apico-coronal position by the rough/smooth implant border as well as the microgap/ interface between implant and abutment/restoration. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiographically the crestal bone level changes around two types of implants, one with a 2.8 ...

BACKGROUND Due to the intraarticular and complex nature of the coronal shear fracture of the humeral capitellum and its rarity, it has been difficult to formulate a universally accepted method of surgical management. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes of 15 patients with isolated coronal shear fractures of the capitellum treated by Herbert screw fixat...

background: this study was designed to compare the clinical performance of composite, strip crowns, biological restoration, and composite with stainless steel band when used for the coronal build-up of anterior teeth. materials and methods: a total of 20 patients aged 3-6 years presenting with mutilated primary anterior teeth due to caries or trauma were selected for the study using randomized ...

Abstract The trauma of anterior teeth is a frequent occurrence in young patients. Reattachment fractured fragments one the various treatment modalities proposed tooth coronal fractures. reattachment grants advantage immediate aesthetic rehabilitation and restoration function, which relatively rapid less arduous procedure. manuscript presents case report depicting management complicated crown ro...

Although root canal treatment is carried out to eliminate the existing microorganism and create favorable environment for healing prevent reinfection, occurrence of post disease poses a significant challenge in general population. Cross sectional studies from different countries shows that there varying degree prevalence periradicular radiolucencies (PR) filled teeth. Since no such have been do...

  Background: To determine the most important preoperative factors that affect postoperative coronal parameters of scoliotic curves.   Methods: All Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients included in the study were classified according to Lenke and King Classification. The fusion levels were selected according to the rigidity of the existing curves (correction less than 50%), tilt...

PURPOSE To assess whether the amount of residual coronal dentin and the placement of a prefabricated (DT Light Post) (LP) or a customized fiber post (Ever Stick Post) (ES) have a significant influence on the 3-year survival of endodontically treated premolars. METHODS A sample of 345 patients provided six groups of 60 premolars in need of endodontic treatment. Groups were defined based on the...

This study evaluated the effect of sterilization method on the bond strength of caries-affected dentin before artificial caries development and after restoration. Twelve bovine incisors were sectioned perpendicularly to their long axes at 7 mm from the amelodentinal junction. They were painted with acid-resistant nail varnish, except on an exposed coronal dentin area. Four groups were formed (n...

INTRODUCTION Coronal leakage is one of the constant concerns in routine dental practice. It is one of the factors responsible for the failure of root canal therapy. Permanent restorations should be given as soon as possible after the completion of root canal therapy. If unavoidable, provisional restoration should be given in such a way that it maximally reduced the leakage of microorganisms and...
