Published: September 1999

The management of submerged deciduous teeth can present a dilemma for general practitioner and specialist alike. These teeth are often extracted to avoid potential problems. The recent literature, mainly publications in specialist journals of paediatric dentistry and orthodontics, suggests that a conservative approach is often preferable, particularly when the permanent successor is present. The purpose of this article is to review the aetiology, diagnosis and potential consequences of submerging deciduous molars; a second paper will discuss the treatment options available.

The challenges of pollution and agro-industrial waste management have led to the development of bioconversion techniques to transform these wastes into valuable products. This has increased the focus on the sustainable and cost-efficient production of biosurfactants from agro-industrial waste. Hence, the present study investigates the production of sophorolipid biosurfactants using the yeast strain IIPL32 under submerged fermentation, employing sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate-a renewable, low-cost agro-industrial waste as the feedstock.

Hibernation is a crucial aspect of the life history of freshwater turtles inhabiting temperate regions. Therefore, understanding their hibernation habitat selection is essential for the targeted conservation of turtle species and their habitats. The Chinese softshell turtle (), a medium-sized freshwater turtle, is widely distributed in China; however, populations are rapidly declining, and threatened by habitat destruction, overfishing, and water pollution.

Tapered Submerged Implants in an Augmented Posterior Maxilla After Oroantral Fistula Closure.

J Craniofac Surg

November 2024

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dental Research Institute, School of Dentistry, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea.

Dental implantation in the posterior maxilla is challenging due to anatomic proximity to the sinuses, relative bone quality, and pre-existing sinus diseases. An oroantral fistula (OAF) acts as a pathologic pathway of bacteria and can cause sinus infections and complicate dental implant management. Bony augmentation between the sinus floor mucosa and the oral mucosa at the OAF closure site is another critical consideration.

The non-specific lipid-transfer proteins (LTPs), particularly the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored LTPs (LTPGs), play pivotal roles in various plant physiological functions, particularly in the context of environmental stress adaptation. Despite their importance, LTPGs in willow (Salix matsudana), an ecologically and economically important species, remains poorly understood. This study systematically identified and characterized 30 SmLTPGs in the S.

Coastal lagoons, which cover about 13% of coastline, are among the most productive ecosystems worldwide. However, they are subject to significant stressors, both natural and anthropogenic, which can alter ecosystem services and functioning and food web structure. In the Comacchio Lagoon (Northern Italy), eutrophication, among other minor factors, transformed the ecosystem in the early 1980s.
