In this study, we have undertaken the development of two fluorescent sensors based on calixarene compounds for the purpose of detecting cesium in water. By introducing the sulfonate functional groups, we have considerably improved the water solubility of sensors, enabling complete dissolution of products in aqueous media and direct analysis of polluted water samples. Through rigorous experiments, we have demonstrated that the complexation of Cs ions with sensors and in water leads to a remarkable enhancement of fluorescence.

The aim of this study was to assess how orthodontic gap closure or prosthetic rehabilitation of the missing maxillary lateral incisor affected dental arch relationships and symmetry at the end of treatment. The authors also aimed to determine the effect of the level of oral hygiene on the decision made to manage the missing maxillary lateral incisor gap.
