Prevalence of and in endodontic retreatment Cases: A comprehensive study.

Introduction: Endodontic treatment failures often stem from the presence of microbial pathogens, particularly and . This study systematically assesses the prevalence of and in endodontic retreatment cases, aiming to explore their impact on treatment outcomes.

Methods: Employing a systematic sampling approach, 30 patients with a history of previous endodontic treatment were selected.

Gamma radiation-induced grafting of poly(butyl acrylate) onto ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer for improved crude oil flowability.

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers are widely employed as pour point depressants to enhance the flow properties of crude oil. However, EVA copolymers have limitations that necessitate their development. This work investigated the modification of EVA via gamma radiation-induced grafting of butyl acrylate (BuA) monomers and the evaluation of grafted EVA as a pour point depressant for crude oil.

Comparison of Glide Path and Pathfiles in Canal Preparation by Cone-beam Computed Tomography: An Original Research.

Introduction: Endodontics has become a routine practice in the recent times and many recent advanced rotary systems are available commercially. Hence, in our study, we describe the canal transportation of the different file systems in various combinations of the "Glide path (Gp)" by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: study was with 40 single-rooted extracted human teeth that were grouped as "Group 1: Pathfiles (PF) and Group 2: V Gp 2 (V2).

A New Primary in Parotid Gland with History of Treated Mediastinal Solitary Fibrous Tumour.

Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are rare tumours in the head and neck region. They have been reported in many anatomic sites but occurrence in the parotid gland is exceptional. We report a very rare finding of a benign SFT of the parotid gland in a patient with a past history of excision of a malignant type of mediastinal tumour.

Actinomycosis of tongue: Rare presentation mimicking malignancy with literature review and imaging features.

Actinomycosis of the tongue is rare. It may be difficult to differentiate this infection clinically and radiologically from other tongue pathology especially neoplasia. We report a substantial tongue lesion which mimicked malignancy at presentation.

Evaluation of Effect of Irrigants with or without Surfactant on Root Canal Transportation by Cone Beam Computed Tomography-An In vitro Study.

Introduction: Maintenance of original canal anatomy with proper disinfection is our primary goal to achieve during root canal instrumentation. Surfactants are added to irrigating solution to promote deeper penetration into dentinal tubules.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of addition of surfactants to Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) on transportation of root canal.

How often does the operating list follow the planned order? An analysis of elective maxillofacial operating lists.

Objectives: The authors explored consistency of the observed running order in operating sequence compared with prior scheduled listing. We analysed potential variables felt to be predictive in the chances of a patient having their procedure as previously scheduled.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected for a consecutive group of patients who underwent elective maxillofacial procedures over a four week period.

Specialist titles used in clinical correspondence: a UK survey of oral and maxillofacial surgery consultants.

We explored how oral and maxillofacial (OMF) consultants describe themselves in their correspondence. We did a telephone survey of OMF surgeons' secretaries and compiled data on the specialist titles used. Data were available for 290 consultants and 19 different titles were identified.

Giant lipoblastoma of the thigh: a rare soft tissue tumor in an infant.

Lipoblastoma is a rare lipomatous tumor encountered almost exclusively in infants and young children. It arises from embryonic white fat. The common site of involvement is the extremities.

Thalidomide: an emerging drug in oral mucosal lesions.

Thalidomide has reemerged as a potential drug with new found uses despite its history of having caused devastating congenital birth defects. The drug has become the subject of major interest because of its clinical value in certain clearly defined disorders. Interest in thalidomide was initially rekindled in the mid-1960s by its remarkable effect in lessening the complication of leprosy called erythema nodosum leprosum.

Molecular biology: an early detector of oral cancers.

Oral cancers have been one of the leading causes of deaths particularly in the developing countries. Prime reason for this high mortality and morbidity is attributed to the delay in diagnosis and prompt treatment. Relentless research in the field of oncology has led to advent of novel procedures for the early detection of oral cancers.
