The, fact that root-length measurements may be made on 450 oblique-jaw radiographs of older adolescents with reasonable replicability even on a year-to-year basis (GARN, VAN ALSTINE & COLE, J Dent Res 57:A114, 1978) opens the possibility of exploring root-length crown-size correspondences in the mandibular dentition. Taking, then, root-length measurements for C through M2 on 122 subjects aged 1...

introduction: success in endodontic treatment depends on various factors. among the most important factors, appropriate preparation of the root canal system and keeping periapical region intact as much as possible could be mentioned. these are achieved by determining the penetration depth of the instruments into the canal i.e. the working length. several methods are introduced for working lengt...

introduction: despite being the gold standard as well as a routine technique in endodontics, radiographic working length (wl) determination owns many drawbacks. electronic apex-locators (eals) are recommended to complement radiographies. the aim of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of iranian general dental practitioners (gdps) towards using radiography and eal. methods and materials: ...

We compared growth patterns and morphology of fine roots of size-controlling and invigorating peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) rootstocks. Peach trees were grafted on five rootstocks: a vigorous control (Nemaguard), three intermediate vigor rootstocks (K119-50, P30-135 and Hiawatha), and a semi-dwarfing rootstock (K146-43). Minirhizotron tubes were installed at the base of trees on each roots...

root depth and distribution have an important role in drought resistance and optimization of moisture content of soil. this research was carried out in order to consider of root response of triticale genotypes to water stress and recognition of root trait that can effective in resistance of water stress. this experiment was in a factorial experiment based on completely random design on the year...
