[Reduction of ileocolic intussusception with hydrostatic enema under ultrasound guidance in pediatric patients: Case report].

Ileocolic intussusception is a pediatric emergency with initial non-surgical treatment. Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction in pediatric patients is a widely used initial treatment method in the world; however, its use is not widespread in our environment. We present 4 cases of patients with ileocolic intussusception treated by ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction in the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño - San Borja (INSNSB), with therapeutic reduction and without complications.

Corrosion in artificial saliva of a Ni-Cr-based dental alloy joined by TIG welding and conventional brazing.

Statement Of The Problem: Fixed prosthesis and partial dental prosthesis frameworks are usually made from welded Ni-Cr-based alloys. These structures can corrode in saliva and have to be investigated to establish their safety.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the corrosion behavior of joints joined by tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding and conventional brazing in specimens made of commercial Ni-Cr alloy in Fusayama artificial saliva at 37°C (pH 2.

Degradation of polymeric restorative materials subjected to a high caries challenge.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the degradation of different resin filling materials after a caries challenge, by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and contact angle (θ) measurement.

Methods: Four different polymeric restorative materials (a resin composite, a polyacid-modified resin composite, an ormocer and a resin-modified glass ionomer cement) were tested. Five samples (30 mm × 6 mm × 2 mm) of each material were formed in a Teflon mold, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Influence of two self-etching primer systems on enamel adhesion.

The aim of this study was to compare two self-etching and a total-etch adhesive systems by assessing their shear bond strength to bovine enamel and the microleakage on class V composite restorations prepared on bovine enamel. Bovine teeth selected and allocated in three groups: Group 1: Scothbond Multi-Purpose; Group 2: Clearfil Liner Bond 2V; Group 3: Etch & Prime 3.0.
