introduction: this study aimed to compare the thickness of the mesiobuccal furcal canal walls of first and second maxillary molars. materials and methods: this study was performed on total of 30 first and second extracted molar teeth (15 each). the mesiobuccal roots of each tooth were separated at the cement-enamel junction (cej) level and embedded in acrylic resin. the embedded roots were cut ...

introduction: based on the invasive studies it has been shown that factors such as age, the progress of eye disorders, lens fibers compression and the biochemical changes of ocular matrix alter the physical characteristics and elastic properties of eye. in this study, a noninvasive method of estimating human eye elasticityis proposed and its relation with age and gender is evaluated using ultra...

an important issue in power generation and petrochemical industries is the monitoring of pipe wall thickness and corrosion/erosion rate. the pipes are usually subject to erosive and/or corrosive environments and any failure could be catastrophic. while periodic manual ultrasonic thickness measurement is the common practice in many industries, in certain cases, where higher accuracies are requir...

objectives: to compare the thickness of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus in individuals with and without teeth to determine if extraction of the teeth can lead to a significant reduction in the thickness of the maxillary sinus lateral wall or not. patients and methods: in a retrospective study on fifty patients with an edentulous space, the thickness of the lateral wall of the maxillary ...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the radicular wall thickness in mandibular incisors with two canals and find the maximum and minimum thickness to prevent root canal treatment (rct) procedural errors. materials and methods: a total of 160 extracted mandibular incisors were selected and radiographed; out of which, 55 had two canals. three parallel transverse sections were made in each toot...

background: there are two kinds of ascites, cirrhotic and malignant. the conventional diagnostic method to differentiate them is paracentesis. this is an invasive and time consuming method. however, ultrasonography is an easy and available method to provide valuable results in a short period of time. the aim of this study was to evaluate gallbladder wall thickness in differentiating cirrhotic a...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both hemodynamics and aneurysm wall thickness are important parameters in aneurysm pathophysiology. Our aim was to develop a method for semi-quantitative wall thickness assessment on in vivo 7T MR images of intracranial aneurysms for studying the relation between apparent aneurysm wall thickness and wall shear stress. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wall thickness was analyzed in...
