introduction: advantages of endodontic treatments over tooth extraction have increased the demands for these treatments. success rate of these treatments is generally lower than the primary root canal therapies. recently, single visit treatments have gained more popularity. but, the influence of completing retreatment in a single appointment on success of the treatment is still a controversy. t...

objective: an immediate complete denture is fabricated before the extraction of all teeth. it has several advantages such as preservation of esthetics, muscular tone, normal speech and reduction of post-operative pain. this report describes a method of using patient’s current fixed partial denture (fpd) for single-appointment construction of interim immediate denture.   case: we used patient’s ...

We develop algorithms for a single machine stochastic appointment sequencing and scheduling problem with waiting time, idle time, and overtime costs. This is a basic stochastic scheduling problem that has been studied in various forms by several previous authors. Applications for this problem cited previously include scheduling of surgeries in an operating room (Denton, 2007, Denton and Gupta,2...

BACKGROUND The issue of missed appointments in primary care is important for patients and staff. Little is known about how missed appointments, and the people who miss them, are managed in primary care, or about effective strategies for managing missed appointments. AIMS To understand the perceptions of primary care staff as to why patients miss appointments, to determine how these perception...

biogeneric reference technique (brt) of the cerec 3d v.3.8 software is an effective technique for single anterior ceramic crowns because it provides computer-controlled match of the tooth form to the contralateral tooth. brt also enables the fabrication of two or more anterior all-ceramic crowns simultaneously. this clinical report demonstrates the clinical application of brt for designing and ...

We propose a concurrent programming model called threading-by-appointment (TAP). Unlike traditional threads, TAP threads can only communicate with system components or other threads by appointment. For example, a TAP thread cannot simply try to access some shared resource. Instead, a TAP thread must make an appointment with the shared resource in advance. Only at the time of the appointment, th...
