Role of fluoridated carbamide peroxide whitening gel in the remineralization of demineralized enamel: An in vitro study.

Introduction: The use of self-administered carbamide peroxide bleaching gels has become increasingly popular for whitening of discolored vital teeth. Studies have reported that its use may induce increased levels of sensitivity and surface roughness of the tooth due to demineralization. This study evaluates the effect of fluoride addition to the bleaching agent - its remineralizing capacity and alterations in the whitening properties.

Comparative evaluation of impact strength of fragment bonded teeth and intact teeth: an in vitro study.

Background: To test and compare the impact strength of fragment bonded teeth with that of intact teeth by using impact testing machine (pendulum type) as a mode of load.

Materials And Methods: Forty extracted, maxillary, central incisors selected for this study (20 control group and 20 experimental group). In experimental group, teeth crowns were fractured with a microtome at 2.

"Toxic Pancreatitis with an Intra-Abdominal Abscess which was Caused by Organophosphate Poisoning (OP)".

Organophosphate insecticides are the potent inhibitors of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme which lead to an increased acetylcholine activity, which are responsible for symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting and hypersalivation.
