Speciation study involving mononuclear binary transition metal (Co, Ni and Cu) complexes of L-methionine in non-ionic micellar medium.

The present work aims to evaluate the binding capacities of binary complexes of L-Methionine with transition metal ions Co, Ni and Cu in Triton X 100-water mixtures, a non-ionic micellar media of different compositions (0.0-2.5% (v/v)), investigated under the experimental conditions of 0.

Effect of vibration during local anesthesia administration on pain, anxiety, and behavior of pediatric patients aged 6-11 years: A crossover split-mouth study.

Background: Uncooperative behavior of children due to dental anxiety may interfere with the effective delivery of dental care and compromise the quality of treatment provided. Injection of local anesthesia is one of the most anxiety-inducing stimuli in pediatric dentistry. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of a child-friendly device, having a combined effect of vibration and distraction, with the conventional method of injection on pain, anxiety, and behavior of pediatric patients aged 6-11 years.

Effect of Contralateral Noise on Acoustic Reflex Latency Measures.

Objective: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of contralateral broadband noise on acoustic reflex latency (ARL).

Materials And Methods: Acoustic reflex latency changes for 10 and 90% on- and off-time acoustic reflexes with contralateral broadband noise were measured in 30 adults with normal hearing.

Results: The results of the study demonstrate that there was a latency prolongation for reflex on-time (10 and 90%) and latency reduction for reflex off-time (10 and 90%).

A rare occurrence of geminated-taloned maxillary lateral incisor.

The talon cusp is a developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of an accessory cusp like structure projecting from the cingulum area of the anterior teeth. Gemination is an anomaly caused by a single tooth germ that attempted to divide during its development. These developmental anomalies may cause clinical problems including esthetic impairment, pain, caries and tooth crowding.

Oral Rehabilitation of an S-ECC Case with Orthodontic Intervention: 18 Months Follow-up.

Severe-early childhood caries (S-ECC) is a specific form of rampant decay of primary teeth in infants, characterized by aggressive tooth destruction. This multifactorial disease in young infants is associated with the frequent use of sweetened fluids and fermentable carbohydrates over extended periods, poor oral hygiene as well as high level of mutans streptococci infection. The disease control and restoration of severely decayed primary teeth in children with S-ECC remains a challenge to general as well as pediatric dentists.
