AIMS Intralesional treatment of giant cell tumour (GCT) of the bone may result in a high rate of local recurrence. The introduction of local adjuvant therapy, such as cementation or phenolization, has lead to a significant reduction in recurrence rates. Due to the combined use of phenol and cementation in most studies, the effect of phenol alone is described in this study. METHODS Twenty prim...

INTRODUCTION Mechanical alignment deviation after total knee arthroplasty is a major reason for early loosening of the prosthesis. Achieving optimum cement penetration during fixation of the femoral and tibial component is an essential step in performing a successful total knee arthroplasty. Bone cement is used to solidify the bone and prosthesis. Thickness imbalance of bone cement leads to the...

INTRODUCTION Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a distinct neoplasm of undifferentiated cells. The exact cell of origin is unknown. The multinucleated giant cells present are formed from the fusion of mononuclear cells. Giant cell tumour is more common in Southeast Asia than in the West. The incidence is about 20% compared to 4% to 5% in the West. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients with giant cel...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the timing of pick-ups of retentive attachments on locator overdenture post retention. Forty-eight acrylic resin models of edentulous mandibles were prepared. A post space with a depth of 6 mm was drilled into 96 extracted, single-rooted teeth. In each model, two prepared roots were mounted in the canine position with 22 mm between them. The m...

In recent years, oil spills and leakages have often occurred during exploration, transportation, handling, usage, processing, causing serious global environmental problems. Microbially-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an emerging green, environmentally friendly, sustainable technology that has proven to be a promising alternative for soil stabilisation. This paper provides comparison b...

Increase the hardness, the endurance and the life time of material can be realised by surface treatments and remetallings, the electromagnetic properties of steels depend on their composition, their microstructures and constraints applied. We can use the electric and magnetic parameters to evaluate their microstructure. The object of this work is the characterization of cementation by the non-d...

The need for treatment of dilute metal contaminated water as a residual from mining and mineral processing facilities is ubiquitous. Electrochemical technologies have the potential to provide selective and measurable recovery of base metals from dilute mining influenced water. However, the technology is currently not widely used in the treatment of mining influenced water (MIW). The principles ...
