introduction: there are various studies looking at the effects of formocresol (fc) and mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) on pulpotomy of primary molars. this is a systematic review of literature comparing the success rates of mta and fc in pulpotomy of primary molars. materials and methods: the study list was obtained using pubmed, embase, scopus, science citation index, iran medex, google schol...

Miniature neurotransmission is the transsynaptic process where single synaptic vesicles spontaneously released from presynaptic neurons induce miniature postsynaptic potentials. Since their discovery over 60 years ago, miniature events have been found at every chemical synapse studied. However, the in vivo necessity for these small-amplitude events has remained enigmatic. Here, we show that min...

Spontaneous miniature synaptic activity is caused by action potential (AP)-independent release of transmitter vesicles and is regulated at the level of single synapses. In cultured cortical neurons we have used this spontaneous vesicle turnover to load the styryl dye FM1-43 into synapses with high rates of miniature synaptic activity. Automated selection procedures restricted analysis to synaps...

this article describes successful use of calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement and biodentine in apexogenesis treatment in two 8-year-old patients, one with immature permanent molar diagnosed primarily with irreversible pulpitis and the other with partially vital maxillary central incisor. after access cavity preparation, partial pulpotomy in molar and full pulpotomy in central was performed, a...

Introduction: Preservation of pulp tissue can extend the long-term survival teeth through relatively simple restorative procedures. Objective: To analyze literature on success indirect capping in primary and permanent teeth, as well direct partial complete pulpotomy mature immature teeth. Methodology: An electronic search was performed during January 2022 PubMed, SCOPUS Google Scholar databases...

The field of dentistry is constantly changing with the introduction new materials and techniques that resulted in good treatment outcome.Bio-ceramics are amongst recently introduced which have changed face dentistry. Bioceramics biocompatible, nontoxic, non-shrinking usually chemically stable within biological environment.The development bioceramic based has greatly improved dentist’s possibili...

Kidney size may be altered in renal diseases, and the detection of kidney size alteration has diagnostic and prognostic values. We hypothesized that radiographic kidney size, the kidney length to the second lumbar vertebra (L2) length ratio, in normal Miniature Schnauzer dogs may be overestimated due to their shorter vertebral length. This study was conducted to evaluate radiographic and ultras...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the effects of two different perfusion techniques: conventional cardiopulmonary bypass and miniature cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiac surgery at the University Hospital of Santa Maria--RS. METHODS We perform a retrospective, cross-sectional study, based on data collected from the patients operated between 2010 and 2013. We analyzed th...
