In recent years, experiments have discovered an exotic new state of matter known as the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (sQGP). At present, it seems that standard theoretical tools, such as perturbation theory and lattice gauge theory, are poorly suited to understand this new phase. However, recent progress in superstring theory has provided us with a theoretical laboratory for studying ver...

Dens invaginatus, also known as “dens in dente”, is a developmental dental anomaly resulting in an invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla. These cases present technical difficulties to the root canal treatment. Apexification using an apical plug of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been indicated as an alternative to long-term intracanal use of calcium hydroxide in immature...

Die Sheffield-verpleegskool is een van die grootste in Engeland met meer as ’n 1 000 studente op 25 verskillende basiese en naregistrasie kursusse. Die klem val op die kliniese aspek en verbeterde, totale en geindividualiseerde pasiëntsorg. Onderrig in die kliniese situasie is dan ook ’n belangrike deel van die opleiding. ’n Geintegreerde benadering tot kurrikulumontwikkeling en -implementering...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a reliable bioactive material with extended applications in endodontics that include the obturation of the root canal space. This article examines the literature supporting MTA as a canal filling material, suggests methods for its delivery and placement, and presents clinical cases that demonstrate its effectiveness in resolving apical periodontit...

Unicystic ameloblastoma is believed to be less aggressive and responds more favorably to conservative surgery than the solid or multicystic ameloblastomas. This report is a rare case of unicystic ameloblastoma of the maxilla that was treated by enucleation under suspicion of a radicular cyst related to a dens in dente. The neoplastic nature of the lesion became evident only when the enucleated ...

Malformações dentárias são comuns em mamíferos silvestres, entretanto, pouco documentadas na literatura científica. Nesse sentido, o conhecimento das condições patológicas espécies de vida livre é fundamental para a medicina veterinária, permitindo diagnóstico e tratamento destas enfermidades. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar persistência dente canino decíduo gato-do-mato-pequeno (Leopardus ...

Congenital morphological dental alterations are related to the physiological phase of tooth development. Since the etiology of the dens invaginatus and supernumerary roots has yet to be fully determined, a rare presentation of dens invaginatus in a primary molar and a birooted deciduous maxillary canine were incidentally detected in routine radiographic examinations. Essential clinical consider...
