Endodontic management of maxillary third molar with MB2 (Vertucci type IV) canal configuration diagnosed with Cone Beam Computed Tomography - a case report.

The endodontic treatment of maxillary third molar often poses a challenge even to an experienced endodontist because of their most posterior location in the dental arch, aberrant occlusal anatomy, abnormal root canal configuration and eruption patterns. Owing to these anatomical limitations, their extraction remains the treatment of choice for many clinicians. As we know, retaining every functional component of the dental arch is of prime importance in contemporary dental practice.

Limb salvage with microvascular free fibula following primary bone sarcoma resection.

Background: Extremity sarcomas are challenging to manage. Total eradication of tumour has to be balanced with restoration of limb function to prevent mortality and morbidity. Disease-free survival with maximum limb function is the ultimate goal in these patients.

Concepts of occlusion in prosthodontics: A literature review, part II.

This series of articles describes about concepts of occlusion in the complete denture, fixed partial denture, and implants. This article discusses about the evolution of different concepts of nonbalanced occlusion and occlusal schemes in complete denture occlusion.

Concepts of occlusion in prosthodontics: A literature review, part I.

Occlusion and its relationship to the function of the stomatognathic system have been widely studied in dentistry since many decades. This series of articles describe about occlusion in the complete denture, fixed partial denture, and implants. Part I and II of this articles series describe concepts and philosophies of occlusion in complete denture.

Occipital condyle syndrome in a young male: a rare presentation of cranio-vertebral tuberculosis.

Occipital condyle syndrome (OCS) is a rare syndrome characterized by severe, unilateral, occipital headache and ipsilateral 12th nerve palsy. Tumors are a common cause of OCS. Inflammatory lesions causing OCS is however rare.

Invivo comparative evaluation of tertiary dentin deposit to three different luting cements a histopathological study.

The aim of the study is to evaluate histopathologically the amount of tertiary dentin deposit stimulated by three different luting cements. With the informed consent for fifteen patients crown preparation was done for maxillary and mandibular premolar teeth which were scheduled for orthodontic extraction. Copings were cemented with three different luting cements zinc oxide eugenol, glass ionomer and zinc polycarboxylate which were classified as Groups A, B and C respectively.

Intelligent agent-based intrusion detection system using enhanced multiclass SVM.

Intrusion detection systems were used in the past along with various techniques to detect intrusions in networks effectively. However, most of these systems are able to detect the intruders only with high false alarm rate. In this paper, we propose a new intelligent agent-based intrusion detection model for mobile ad hoc networks using a combination of attribute selection, outlier detection, and enhanced multiclass SVM classification methods.

Innovative Trifluoromethyl Radical from Persistent Radical as Efficient Initiator for the Radical Copolymerization of Vinylidene Fluoride with -Butyl α-Trifluoromethacrylate.

A persistent perfluoroalkyl branched radical (PPFR), perfluoro-3-ethyl-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentyl, was shown to be a good source of CF radicals able to initiate the radical copolymerization of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) with -butyl α-trifluoromethacrylate (MAF-TBE). NMR characterizations of the resulting poly(VDF--MAF-TBE) copolymers showed that copolymerization was exclusively initiated by CF radicals, as evidenced by the thermal decomposition of PPFR above 80 °C. The addition of CF radical onto VDF/MAF-TBE system was regioselective leading to CF-CH-CF radical that further cross propagated onto MAF-TBE unit and the α,ω-trifluoromethyl group acted as an efficient label to assess the molecular weights of the resulting copolymers by F NMR spectroscopy.
