Context: Root canal instrumentation is one of the important procedures for successful endodontic therapy. Unexpected fracture of files occurs during root canal instrumentation without any visible signs of deformation compromising the success of root canal treatment.
Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare cyclic fatigue resistance (CFR) of rotary and reciprocating files in simulated canals with 45°, 60°, and 90° angle of curvature.
Context: White spot lesion is the first clinical sign of a caries lesion and represents mineral loss from the enamel subsurface.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the penetration depth (PD) of Icon resin infiltrant into artificially demineralized enamel lesions using confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) analysis in dual fluorescence mode.
Settings And Designs: The design of the study was an study.
Background: The National Bariatric Prioritization Tool (NBPT), developed in Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ), has not been validated using real patient data. The aim was to determine the predictive validity of the NBPT on health outcomes.
Methods: An observational study was undertaken of consecutive patients undergoing elective bariatric surgery at Middlemore Hospital using the NBPT from December 2014 to December 2016.
Article Synopsis
- * The tool's development involved a structured consensus process among healthcare experts and tested its validity with established clinical judgments.
- * Four primary criteria were identified to assess patient needs, with "impact on life" being the most significant, while the next phase will test the tool's effectiveness using actual patient data.
