AIM Cheeses have been investigated for their potential cariogenicity in several studies and have been shown to produce little change in the resting pH in dental plaque and little or no demineralisation of enamel in most intra-oral cariogenicity studies. The aim of the present study was to investigate the cariogenicity of four processed cheese formulations. METHODS Enamel demineralisation was ...

We compared the biomechanics between improved percutaneous vertebroplasty (improved PVP) and traditional percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of vertebral peripheral wall damage-type osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). A total of 15 vertebral peripheral wall damage-type OVCF models of new calves (12-14 weeks) were treated with a decalcifying agent (Shandon TBD-1) with...

The rat model is widely used in periodontal research and the quality of histological sections is essential. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histological characteristics of periodontal tissues in Wistar rat maxillae, with different times of fixation and decalcified by nitric acid or formic acid (Anna Morse Solution). Fifteen rats were used. Fixation was performed for 24, 48 and 72 ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Sesame has a high content of calcium. Regarding to the lack of adequate data about its remineralizing potential, we conducted this study to evaluate the surface hardness of enamel exposed to sesame extraction gel in comparison to artificial saliva and fluoride.METHODS: After mounting and polishing twenty-four caries-free human premolars, the baseline microhardness was record...

in this study the role of cell death in cartilage canal morphogenesis with morphometrical and histological methods was evaluated. the proximal tibial epiphysis of the chick embryos after fixation and decalcification at the 13 th and 18th days of incubation, with thick and semithin sections and h&e; ,tricromason and feulgen staining were studied. the rsulths were showed that cartilage canals wer...

The ESAS will provide an opportunity to compare and contrast treatment provision with colleagues who achieve similar levels of quality outcome and there may be differences, for example, in treatment duration or levels of decalcification. All this can be achieved using the ESAS database and simple analyses. Achieving recognition in providing high quality care on your routine cases can compliment...
