PURPOUSE The Authors correlated intraoperative mucohaemorrhoidal prolapse morphology, specimen histology, anal canal length and purse-string height. METHODS Between September-November 2010, 18 patients (9 grade III; 9 grade IV haemorrhoids) underwent stapled haemorrhoidopexy. Mean age was 54 years (range 38-78).Proctoscopic prolapse morphology, anal canal length, pursestring height and extern...

INTRODUCTION It is essential for clinicians to have knowledge about root canal configuration, although its morphology varies largely in different ethnicities and even in different individuals within the same ethnic group. The current study reviewed the root canal configuration of root canals in mandibular first and second premolars among Iranian population based on independent epidemiological s...

statement of problem: bacterial agents are the primary cause of pulpoperiapical diseases. therefore, an irrigating solution with proper antibacterial ability should be used to eliminate the bacterial agents during canal instrumentation. purpose: the aim of present study was to compare the antibacterial effect of 0.2% chlorhexidine to 0.5% sodium hypochlorite as canal irrigating solutions. mater...

Introduction: The aim of this article was to emphasize the importance of variations in root canal anatomy. Methods: This case report presents the endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with c-shaped palatal canal bifurcating into two canals at the middle third and exiting from a single apical foramen. The canal morphology was confirmed with the aid of cone beam computerized tomography...

Running title: Root and canal morphology of maxillary first premolar teeth Abstract Aim : To determine the variations in the root and canal morphology of the maxillary first premolar teeth in a Ugandan population. Methodology : Extracted maxillary first premolar teeth (n = 202) were evaluated in this study. The specimens had their pulp chambers de-roofed. They were decalcified in nitric acid an...

BACKGROUND Knowledge about root canal morphology and its frequent variations can exert considerable influence on the success of endodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to survey the root canal morphology of mandibular first premolar teeth in a Gujarati population by decalcification and clearing technique. METHODS One hundred thirty eight extracted mandibular first premolar teeth were ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of CBCT in volume measuring using Stafne Bone Cavities (SBC) as an example. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted with 14 subjects with SBC detected on panoramic radiographs. In order to evaluate lesions volumetric dimensions, CBCT images for each patient were captured. Files in Digital Imaging and Communications in Me...
