alveolar ridge resorption has long been considered an unavoidable consequence of tooth extraction. while the extent and pattern of resorption is variable among individuals, there is a progressive loss of ridge contour as a result of physiologic bone remodeling. even today, with best modalities of tooth preservation, there is a group of elderly individuals who do not benefit from modern preventiv...

At the end of a 4 hour absorption period approximately 95% of the sodium absorbed by bean plants was retained in the secondary roots. The sodium translocated to the shoot was retained in the stem.2,4-Dinitrophenol decreased the amount retained in the secondary roots of bean plants and increased the amount translocated to the shoot. The stem retained most of the translocated sodium.Bean plants w...

Abstract Overdenture is a type of treatment suitable for subtotal and complete edentulous patients characterized by making total prosthesis, with the mucosal face embedding remaining teeth (remaining roots) or dental implants. In this material we will try to present some practical aspects, regarding retained overdenture magnetic systems fixed in roots at level arches.

PURPOSE There is no long-term evaluation on the safety of coronectomy of the lower third molar. The aim of this study was to investigate the 3-year morbidity of coronectomy of the lower third molars and to monitor the behavior and migration pattern of the retained roots after coronectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective cohort study. Patients with lower third molars with specific...

The relationship between toluene concentration and the rate of leakage of solutes from toluene-treated roots and leaves of Sorghum bicolor, L. Moench, was studied to determine the effect of toluene on plant cell membranes. A threshold concentration of 0.2% toluene was needed to induce leakage. Maximal leakage rates were obtained with 0.5% toluene. Low molecular weight solutes, such as amino aci...

Arabidopsis has inducible responses for tolerance of O2 deficiency. Plants previously exposed to 5% O2 were more tolerant than the controls to hypoxic stress (0.1% O2 for 48 h) in both roots and shoots, but hypoxic acclimation did not improve tolerance to anoxia (0% O2). The acclimation of shoots was not dependent on the roots: increased shoot tolerance was observed when the roots of the plants...

Tobacco has previously been used in investigations of metals and radionuclide uptake. This study presents determination bioaccumulation translocation 60Co2+ ions tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.) grown Hoagland’s nutrient solution. Cobalt concentration increased with increasing Bioaccumulation from the initial C0 = 0.96 μM Co reached 90% after 7 day cultivation. Only small amounts accumulat...
