This report describes the case of an 8-year-old boy that was referred to endodontic and orthodontic treatment after suffering an injury that led to intrusion of the maxillary right permanent central incisor, palatal displacement of the upper right lateral incisor, and root fracture of both central incisors. Both injured teeth were immature and had open apices. The intruded tooth was repositione...

for the characteristics of horizontal fractures in shallow low-permeability oil layers after hydraulic fracturing in multilayer reservoirs, horizontal fractures are taken equivalent to an elliptical cylinder with the reservoir thickness using the equivalent permeability model; then, upon the elliptic seepage theory, the seepage field which has led by a vertical well with horizontal fractures is...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the resistance to fatigue failure of five different nickel-titanium rotary files in three different curved trajectories. materials and methods: a total of 150 neoniti a1, race 25.06, mtwo 25.06, twisted file 25.06 and protaper next x2 files with the tip size of 25 were tested (n=30 for each group). three groove types simulating curved canals...

This work studies the combined behavior of (1) horizontal wells, and (2) high-permeability fracturing. Fractured vertical WCIIS in high-permeability formations always yield finite conductivity fractures which in turn can reduce the benefits of the stimulation. It has been proposed recently that a fracture along a horizontal WC1lposes far smaller pressure drops than those of the fracture interse...

instrument fracture within the root canal during root canal treatment is an unwanted and frustrating complication. the fractured segment may hinder cleaning and shaping procedures with potential impact on prognosis of treatment. fracture of endodontic instrument often results from incorrect use or overuse. if breakage occurs clinically, the patient should be informed of the incident and conside...

    The combination of horizontal drilling along with hydraulic fracturing has significantly improved the production of hydrocarbon reservoirs and made it possible to extract the relatively impermeable and uneconomical reservoirs. The production rate of oil and gas wells increases proportional to hydraulic fracture aperture or crack opening displacement (COD). This is an important parameter i...

AIM To determine whether patient age contributed to the fracture resistance of teeth subjected to root canal treatment and post placement. METHODOLOGY Forty-five single-rooted, single-canal human teeth were mounted, instrumented, obturated and prepared for a post. The teeth were divided into young (18 < or = age < or = 35) and old (60 < or = age) groups and subjected to cyclic loading until f...
