Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a common problem in dentistry, related to the fractures occurring in such teeth and to concentration of forces little information regarding variation of basic preparation guidelines in stress distribution has been available. To date, there is still no agreement in the literature about which material or technique can optimally restore endodontically...

The WasherLoc is a tibial fixation device for soft tissue anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction that combines superior fixation properties (945 N strength, 507 N/mm stiffness, and high resistance to slippage) with a simple surgical technique. The WasherLoc is a washer with 13 short spikes that penetrate the soft tissue ACL graft in multiple locations and 4 long peripheral spikes that ...

Dislodgement of crown is not uncommon in routine clinical practice. Inadequate support for the core is the most common reason for such failures. With the advent of fibre posts and resin cements, core build up has become more effective. But sin certain conditions with severe deep bite, supra-eruption and mutilation, cast metal dowel core offer greater advantage compared to non-metallic posts and...

Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare thermal stress on various restorative post and core materials generated by oral temperature changes using three dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and Methods: Three dimensional model of a mandibular right first premolar restored with a metal-ceramic crown and a dowel – core system was constructed. The thermal load applied...

Previous studies have shown that the spatio-temporal parameters of reach-to-grasp movement are influenced by the social context in which the motor action is performed. In particular, when interacting with a confederate, movements are slower, with longer initiation times and more ample trajectories, which has been interpreted as implicit communicative information emerging through voluntary movem...

Various nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques have been studied to locate steel rebars or dowel, and to detect invisible damage such as voids and cracks inside concrete and debonding between rebars and concrete caused by corrosions and earthquakes. In this study, the authors developed 3-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic (EM) imaging technology to detect such damage and to identify exact loc...

Purpose: A project is assumed to be sold before construction based on its accepted quality standards conformed through specification. Standards and specifications are used as benchmarks, compliance checks ensure that they met. Accessing standard chosen case projects an attempt learn about the status of Thabang Rural Municipality projects. Design/Methodology/Approach: The RCC masonry building mo...

This study presents a first attempt toward the rational design of bamboo multiculm axial members with dowel-type connections. Specifically, it implements an original combination grading, use multiple culms, and capacity principles to manage natural variability culms establish reliable ductile failure. In this context, also calibrates pertinent overstrength factors needed for achieving capacity-...
