Foreign bodies may be embedded in the oral cavity either by traumatic injury or iatrogenically. The commonly encountered iatrogenic foreign bodies are restorative materials like amalgam, obturation materials, broken instruments, needles, and impression materials. This paper describes an asymptomatic presentation of a foreign body in the oral mucosa which clinically appeared like a benign connec...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the rise in temperature in root surfaces during and immediately after diode laser irradiation, to observe morphological changes of root canal wall after irradiation, and to evaluate the apical leakage after irradiation and obturation in vitro. BACKGROUND DATA There have been very few reports on root canal treatment by 980-nm wavelength ...

Achieving adequate disinfection and preventing reinfection is the major goal in endodontic treatment. Variation canal morphology open porosity of dentine prevents achieving complete disinfection. Questionable biocompatibility materials as well a lack sealing ability questions usefulness current obturation methods. With novel approach based on use boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes having show...

Background: Gastric varices (GV) bleed less frequently than esophageal however, gastric variceal bleeding is more severe with higher mortality and rebleeding rates. Treatment of (GVB) by tissue adhesive mainly cyanoacrylate glues has been used for obturation.  We aimed to determine predictors early in patients the first attack GVB. Materials methods: The study included 120 a GVB.The subjected t...

Nycticebus javanicus or often called the Javan slow loris is one of Indonesia's endemic primates whose status now in critically endangered category because their numbers are decreasing. The illegal trade causes serious problems for health and survival lorises natural habitat. There a wrong perception that teeth poisonous, which makes traders cut even pull out indiscriminately. Slow (Nycticebus ...
