Maintaining deciduous teeth in function until their natural exfoliation is absolutely necessary. Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is a way of saving deciduous teeth. The most important factors in success of VPT are the early diagnosis of pulp and periradicular status, preservation of the pulp vitality and proper vascularization of the pulp. Development of new biomaterials with suitable biocompatibility...

Traumatic dental lesions are found at all ages, but most frequently in the paediatric population, in an age range of 2–5 years, a time period in which the muscle co-ordination and mental faculties of the child have still not been fully developed (1-2). At the age of 5, 1/3 of children have already suffered trauma of the deciduous teeth with fractures of the corona (26%), radicular fractures (3%...

Xylan extracts from southern US hardwood were used for the adsorption of both hardwood and softwood pulp. Pulp beatability and physical strength properties were determined and compared with those of the conventional Kraft pulp and pre-extracted modified Kraft pulp. The results indicated that hemicelluloses adsorption greatly improved pulp beatability. Compared to conventional Kraft pulp, a sign...

Capík I . , V. Ledeck ̆, A. ·evãík: Effects of Flumetazone on Exposed Dental Pulp of Dogs. Acta Vet. Brno 2003, 72: 279-283. Dental pulp metabolism plays very important role throughout the tooth life. Its role is essential particularly in the first two-three years. This is the time of the highest dentin deposition which provides sufficient firmness to withstand common everyday trauma. This study...

Dehydrated citrus pulp and citrus pulp-protein supplements were evaluated as potential supplements for a preconditioning program. The supplements compared were no supplement, citrus pulp alone, citrus pulp with urea, and citrus pulp with added UIP. Supplemented cattle produced greater gains than unsupplemented cattle. Citrus pulp with added UIP produced the greatest ADG (0.95 lb/hd/d) whereas c...

The State of Tennessee consists of 95 counties endowed with abundant forest resources that encompass more than 13.3 million acres. The forest products industries in Tennessee consist of two major industries: the primary and secondary wood processing industries. This study examined if there are differences among counties in the primary wood processing industries as related to employment, payroll...

Thermophilic mannanase from the Bacillus sp. MG-33 was applied on wheat straw-rich-soda pulp to evaluate its bleaching potential. Optimum conditions for bio-bleaching of pulp were found as, mannanase 3Ug -1 of pulp at pH 6.5 and temperature 65oC that enhanced the brightness by 30% and reduced the kappa number by 20% within 2h. Tear index (1.1, points) and burst index (0.02, points) were also im...

Distal renal tubular acidosis is a disease that occurs when the kidneys do not remove acid properly into the urine, leaving the blood too acidic (called acidosis). Distal renal tubular acidosis (type I RTA) is caused by a defect in the kidney tubes that causes acid to build up in the bloodstream. It ultimately results rickets which include chronic skeletal pain, in skeletal deformities, skeleta...

The pulp and paper industry, which is a strategic economic sector in Europe, is very demanding in terms of energy and water. The high water consumption results in the generation of large volumes of wastewater, which must be treated to accomplish with regulations. Therefore, sludge is unavoidable generated and its management is a key issue for the pulp and paper industry. Given prohibitions on l...

In a previous study we showed that broods from the viviparous eelpout Zoarces viviparus were significantly male biased in 1998 in the vicinity of a large kraft pulp mill on the Swedish Baltic coast. One suggested hypothesis was that masculinizing compounds in the effluent were affecting gonadal differentiation of the embryos, resulting in skewed sex ratios. In this article, we present further e...
