Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the health risks of heavy metal exposure (like arsenic and lead) in soil through methods such as dermal contact, ingestion, and inhalation, using advanced analytical techniques to evaluate contamination levels.
- - Soil samples were analyzed for heavy metals, revealing significant pollution in over 60% of samples, with concentrations following the order of nickel, zinc, and lead being the highest.
- - The findings highlight a notable non-carcinogenic risk and a 33% carcinogenic risk linked to arsenic exposure, underscoring the need for targeted remediation efforts in contaminated areas.
In office methods for immediate relief of dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) has long been an area of research. This study compared the efficacy of 660 nm diode laser, 980 nm diode laser, and amorphous calcium phosphate-casein phosphopeptide (ACP-CPP) agent in the treatment of DH. A total of 39 patients with minimum three hypersensitive teeth in at least one quadrant were selected and randomly divided into three groups; Group A, B, and C patients were treated by 660 nm diode laser, 980 nm diode laser, and ACP-CPP agent, respectively.
