the acute compartment syndrome of the forearm is rare and may therefore be easily missed. although many clinicians will not see such a patient during their entire career, profound knowledge of the symptoms is required to recognize the syndrome in time. besides immediate identification of the compartment syndrome early surgical treatment is mandatory to avoid its devastating consequences. then t...

the :union: of two different dental sprouts which can happen in any phase of dental development is commonly called fusion. this developmental anomaly may cause clinical problems including esthetic impairment, which are mainly treated by endodontic and surgical treatments. there are a few reports of conservative not invasive treatment of fused incisors teeth through restorative or prosthetic tec...

Anisometropic amblyopia is characterized by a decrease in best corrected visual acuity in one eye as a result of significantly different refractive errors between the two eyes. The eye that ultimately provides a more blurred image to the visual cortex develops amblyopia.1 Several authors have suggested that anisometropia is the leading cause of amblyopia and is responsible for approximately 50%...

Aim: to evaluate the adjunctive effects of photodynamic therapy (aPDT) on nonsurgical mechanical treatment in patients with periodontitis. Materials and methods: The search strategy was conducted according PRISMA guidelines answer research questions regarding effectiveness aPDT association non-surgical periodontal therapy. mean values standard deviations were collected by data extraction. A des...

BACKGROUND This study was performed to evaluate and compare the clinical and antimicrobial efficacy of subgingival irrigation with tetracycline and povidone-iodine as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty subjects with chronic moderate periodontitis were recruited in this split-mouth study with probing pocket depth of >3 and ≤5 mm and clinical attachment ...

Background Tetracycline is one of the primary antibiotics prescribed for antimicrobial therapy in periodontics. It has a broad spectrum of activity being effective against most bacteria as well as spirochetes. Due to limitations of systemic drug therapy, recent formulations of the drug for local administration in the subgingival area have been introduced, including collagen fibers impregnated w...

introduction: the efficiency of routine scaling and root planning is negatively influenced by the tooth anatomy and residual bacteria all possibly affecting the treatment outcomes in future. the present study compared the microbiologic effectiveness of the photodynamic therapy (pdt) as an adjunctive treatment modality for nonsurgical treatment in chronic periodontitis. methods: in this randomiz...
