Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of rotary instruments' geometry and surface titanium-nitride (TiN) treatment on the fatigue fracture, through the comparison of cyclic fatigue resistance of two endodontic systems that have similar cross-sectional design and different surface coating.
Methods: In this study 130 Mtwo (10/.04; 15/.
Introduction: Our objective was to identify the incidence of adult patients who undergo more than one computed tomography (CT) abdomen and pelvis within 1 year and detect the incidence of significant pathology on these repeat scans.
Methods: All adults with an initial CT within 12 months and then during an emergency department visit were retrospectively identified.
Results: A percentage of 21.
Aim: To investigate the influence of interrupted rotation on cyclic fatigue of two nickel-titanium rotary instruments.
Methodology: Cyclic fatigue of 300 new ProTaper Next size X1; X2 and Mtwo size 10, .04 taper; size 15, .
Background: Although there are no clinical decision rules for radiograph use among persons with shoulder pain, they are ordered for most patients. Previously published reviews have demonstrated that radiography is overutilized in evaluating emergency department (ED) patients with shoulder pain, and clinical factors might define patients in whom plain film radiography need not be performed.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to identify predictors of clinically significant shoulder pain and develop a clinical decision radiograph-ordering rule for adult ED patients with shoulder pain.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of rotational speed on cyclic fatigue of Mtwo nickel-titanium files.
Methodology: A total of 120 new Mtwo rotary instruments sizes 10, 0.04 taper; 15, 0.
