Prevalence of Colour Vision Anomalies Amongst Dental Professionals and its Effect on Shade Matching of Teeth.

Introduction: The success of a restoration is dependent on accurate shade matching of teeth leading to studies evaluating the factors affecting the perception of shades. Colour vision anomalies including colour blindness have been found to exist in the population and it has been thought to be a potential factor affecting the colour perception ability.

Aim: The present study was done to evaluate the prevalence of colour vision anomalies and its effect on matching of shades of teeth.

Treating congenitally missing teeth with an interdisciplinary approach.

Congenitally missing teeth are frequently presented to the dentist. Interdisciplinary approach may be needed for the proper treatment plan. The available treatment modalities to replace congenitally missing teeth include prosthodontic fixed and removable prostheses, resin bonded retainers, orthodontic movement of maxillary canine to the lateral incisor site and single tooth implants.

Escherichia coli O115 forms fewer attaching and effacing lesions in the ovine colon in the presence of E. coli O157:H7.

Escherichia coli O115 has been isolated from healthy sheep and was shown to be associated with attaching-effacing (AE) lesions in the large intestine. Following previous observations of interactions between E. coli O157 and O26, the aim of the present study was to assess what influence an O115 AE E.

Time dependent expression of cytokines in Mycobacterium bovis infected cattle lymph nodes.

Advancements in the current diagnostic and vaccination protocols employed against bovine tuberculosis rely heavily upon a sound knowledge of the bovine immunological response. Central to this is the importance of timing in the cellular immune profile and how this dynamic process evolves post-Mycobacterium bovis challenge. In the present study, we quantitatively analysed mRNA expression of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukins (IL) 4 and 10 within select thoracic lymph nodes of cattle infected with M.
