This study aimed to compare the bond strength of a fiber-reinforced composite resin with traditional and bulk-fill composite resins under different dentin conditions and preparation techniques. Eighty molar teeth, excluding the mesio-distal half of the occlusal dentin surfaces of each teeth, were isolated with acid-resistant nail varnish and stored in a demineralisation solution (pH 4.5).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: To determine the effect of posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) in patients with paraplegia by using the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score and Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-22 questionnaire.
Material And Methods: Twelve patients with posttraumatic paraplegia and severe angular kyphosis ( > 60?) had undergone PVCR between 6-24 months after the trauma for severe pain, persistent vertebral instability and difficulty in adherence to rehabilitation. ASIA scores and SRS-22 questionnaire results obtained in the preoperative and postoperative periods, and the last control were statistically compared to assess the presence of any change.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiologic outcomes and complication analysis of posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) performed on previously operated patients with severe kyphoscoliosis (SK).
Methods: Twelve patients (6 men and 6 women) with SK underwent PVCR. The mean age of the patients preoperatively was 16 years (range, 10-26 years).
