Comparative evaluation of microleakage in Class II cavities restored with snowplow technique using flowable or preheated packable bulk-fill composite resin as gingival increment by dye extraction method: An study.

Context: One of the undesirable characteristics of dental composite resin is the polymerization shrinkage and the associated microleakage. The snowplow technique of placement and the preheating of the composite resins are methods to minimize microleakage.

Aim: The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate microleakage in Class II cavities restored with snowplow technique using either preheated packable or flowable bulk-fill composite resin.

Coarctation of the Aorta and Late-Onset Sepsis With Supraventricular Tachycardia: A Clinical Case Review.

We report a case of an 11-day-old male infant who presented to our hospital with complaints of breathing difficulty and cough for two days prior to admission. The child had a seizure post-admission which was controlled with phenobarbitone. The child was connected to a mechanical ventilator.

evaluation of the effect of addition of biomaterials to carbamide peroxide on the bleaching efficacy and microhardness of enamel.

Background And Aim: Teeth bleaching, although considered safe and conservative, cause microscopic changes in the tooth structure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the bleaching efficacy of carbamide peroxide (CP) bleaching gel when modified with the incorporation of bioactive glass (BG) and hydroxyapatite (HA) and its effect on enamel microhardness.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five maxillary incisors were decoronated, artificially stained and mounted in acrylic.

Beyond Pneumonia: A Rare Case of Pericardial Empyema Caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Purulent pericardial effusion is a rare but potentially deadly condition that demands immediate medical attention. When left untreated, it can have catastrophic consequences. While bacterial infection is the most common cause of this condition, it usually occurs in individuals with weakened immune systems or in those undergoing dialysis or thoracic surgery.
