This research project investigated the orthotic prescription habits of podiatric physicians in Australia and New Zealand. A 23-item questionnaire was distributed to all members of the Australian Podiatry Association and the New Zealand Society of Podiatrists. When asked what type of foot orthoses they prescribe most often, 72% of respondents reported functional foot orthoses; the next most comm...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of intraradicular retention and the prevalence of different types of posts used for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth, in clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was performed on 94 digital panoramic radiographies that allowed a comprehensive appreciation. Root canal fillings and the posts were identified ...

This case describes a subtotal cricoid cartilage defect reconstructed with a prefabricated composite free flap. A 61-year-old man with a chondrosarcoma of the cricoid cartilage required a subtotal cricoidectomy. The resulting defect was successfully reconstructed with a two-stage prefabricated radial forearm free flap utilizing auricular cartilage. Our case further adds to the evidence that pre...

AIMS The aim was to evaluate the incidence of root fracture of endodontically treated teeth reinforced with glass-fiber posts and metal posts luted with different luting cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty maxillary central incisors were sectioned at 1 mm of the cementoenamel junction and endodontically treated. The teeth were divided into four groups (n = 10) and restored with prefabricated...

With respect to the dissipation of energy through plastic deformation of joints of prefabricated wall units, the paper points out the principal importance of efficient reinforcement of the prefabricated system at its joints. The method, quality and amount of reinforcement are essential for reaching the necessary degree of joint ductility. The paper presents partial results of experimental resea...

In this retrospective clinical study, the aim is to evaluate effect of survival rates different post-and-core systems in terms age and sex population, type restoration, tooth position, post material, opposing dentition, cement used. A analysis was conducted via spreadsheets that showed patients who were treated with post-and-cores between August 2016 March 2020. total 524 records included accor...
