Wildlife–aircraft collisions (wildlife strikes) with civilian and military aircraft pose notable risks and economic losses. The 4 military services within the U.S. Department of Defense maintain records regarding wildlife strikes with military aircraft. Although rotary-wing aircraft operations comprise important mission components within all 4 military services, no assessment of wildlife strike...

conclusions regarding the study limitations, dentinal cracks were observed in all files and distances from the apex. although there was more crack incidence in protaper files, no significant differences were noted regarding the studied systems and sections from the apex. materials and methods in an experimental in vitro trial, 80 maxillary and mandibular first molars were selected and their cro...

This paper presents a time-varying sliding mode adaptive controller in order to handle the stick-slip oscillation of nonlinear rotary drilling system. The time-varying sliding mode controller with strong robust has two time-varying sliding surfaces, one of them induced time-varying integral sliding mode control can control the transient stage of the rotary drilling system and ensure the system ...

Background and Aim: Cleaning and shaping is one of the important steps in endodontic treatment, which has an important role in root canal treatment outcome. This study evaluated the rate of file fracture and file deformation in Neolix rotary system and K-files in shaping of the mesiobuccal canal of maxillary first molars with moderate curvature.    Materials and Methods: In this ex vivo exp...

statement of problem: root canal cleaning and elimination of the source of infection are the most important basis and the main requirements for successful root treatment since the main cause of failure in root treatment is the permeation of bacteria or their products into the periapical tissues. nowadays, the newly designed and prcsented instruments for canal instrumentation can improve root tr...

Introduction: Although rotary instrumentation has been widely studied in permanent dentition, it is a rather new field of study concerning primary teeth. Purpose: We aimed to evaluate apical displacement and time needed for instrumentation of root canals of primary molars by manual and rotary techniques. Materials and Methods: Root canals of 144 extracted first and second primary maxillary mola...
