Background: Oxford medial unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is indicated in patients with anteromedialosteoarthritis (AMOA) of the knee. Microplasty (MP) instrumentation was introduced in 2012 as an improvement overphase 3 instrumentation. Advantages of this instrumentation include conservative tibial cut, decreased tibial re-cut rateand improved component alignment. We report the results...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare working length (wl) changes after straight-line access (sla) and different coronal flaring (cf) methods. materials and methods: coronal access preparations were made (without sla) in molar teeth to allow access to 120 canal orifices with a hand file. the suitable cusp and root tips were then flattened to facilitate reproducible and...

Elimination of tank overfills is a significant problem for the petroleum industry. Since most tank receiving operations are manual, the operators rely heavily on tank level gauges and alarms for overfill prevention. Tracing the historical development of tank gauging and alarm systems provides insight into why independence is so important. This history is interwoven with interpretations, insight...

This paper presents VyrdMC, a runtime verification framework for concurrent software components that combines structured testing, model checking, and our runtime refinement checker Vyrd. An execution-based model checker explores for each test case all distinct thread interleavings while Vyrd monitors executions for refinement violations. This combined approach has the advantage of improving the...

Gingival fibromatosis (GF) is a fibrous overgrowth of gingiva that maybe idiopathic or may have an inheritance pattern wherein it is known as hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF). This case report describes a 16-year old female patient who presented generalized extensive gingival overgrowth, involving the maxillary and mandibular arches. Diagnosis of GF was substantiated by the patient’s clin...

purpose: to present a case of traumatic bilateral eyelid lymphedema. case report: an 18-year old male presented with severe bilateral eye lid lymphedema with a history of severe craniofacial trauma three month ago and neurosurgical procedure. he had lost vision in his left eye because of sever globe injury. his lymphedema was attributed to wide surgical incision scar. the patient underwent manu...

Aim: To compare the instrumentation time efficiency of rotary and hand instrumentation performed on necrotic human primary teeth. Methodology: Patients aged 4-7 years were enrolled, forty five teeth (19 maxillary and 26 mandibular teeth), which had a total of 102 canals and completely formed apices and of minimum 10 mm root length were selected. Of the 45 treated primary molars, 31 teeth were d...

The measurement of the water level in a canal allows us to know its flow. This information is essential for correct administration resource. Manual quantification can be replaced by micro controlled systems with an internet connection. Thus, and recording levels open canals real time achieved. chosen system was based on ultrasonic instrumentation GPRS communication. It had wide cellular network...
