PURPOSE Didactic predoctoral dental implant education is part of the curriculum in most US dental schools. However, fewer than half offer laboratory instruction, and only a few allow dental students to place and restore dental implants. The additional time necessary for laboratory and clinical experience encroaches on an already crowded curriculum. Is the additional time necessary in the curric...

Dengue fever is a major problem in many developing countries, including Indonesia. Laboratory examination is used to diagnose dengue infection and to monitor disease progression. Hematology tests, such as platelet count, are also used for timely recognition of the development of severe dengue. In primary health care centers platelet counting is typically performed manually, which is labor inten...

Sommerville and Davies classified the spherical triangles that can tile the sphere in an edge-to-edge fashion. However, if the edge-to-edge restriction is relaxed, there are other such triangles; here, we continue the classification of right triangles with this property begun in our earlier papers. We consider six families of triangles classified as “asymptotically obtuse”, and show that they c...

Sommerville [8] and Davies [2] classified the spherical triangles that can tile the sphere in an edge-to-edge fashion. Relaxing this condition yields other triangles, which tile the sphere but have some tiles intersecting in partial edges. This paper shows that no right triangles in a certain subfamily can tile the sphere, although multilayered tilings are possible.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this 7-year follow-up study was to determine respiratory changes in dental technicians. MATERIAL AND METHODS In our region, in the year 2005, 36 dental technicians were evaluated with a cross-sectional study on respiratory occupational diseases, and in 2012 we evaluated them again.
