introduction: the restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a topic that has been studied extensively but it is still a challenge for dental practitioners. the aim of this study was to evaluate fracture resistance, fracture patterns and fracture location of endodontically treated human maxillary premolars restored with direct and indirect composite resin and ceramic restoration. methods: e...

Patella: accounts for 1% of all fractures, most common in ages 20-50 Femoral condyles: these usually fracture when the knee is stressed. Tibial eminence: caused by accidents, such as a blow to the proximal tibia when the knee is flexed, or if the knee is hyperextended during an accident. Usually seen in patients aged 8-14. Tibial tuberosity: more common in men than in women, and in younger pati...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2016216353 DESCRIPTION A 14-year-old girl presented to the dental clinic with a history of a fall and blow to her upper front teeth. After initial management by the oral surgeon she was referred to the endodontic department for the management of her fractured maxillary incisors. Her medi...

The equation ut = ∆u + u with homegeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions has solutions with blow-up if p > 1. An adaptive time-step procedure is given to reproduce the asymptotic behvior of the solutions in the numerical approximations. We prove that the numerical method reproduces the blow-up cases, the blow-up rate and the blow-up time. We also localize the numerical blow-up set.
