Introduction. The purpose of this study was to compare the taper variation in root canal preparations among Twisted Files and PathFiles-ProTaper .08 tapered rotary files to current standards. Methods. 60 root canals with severe angle of curvature (between 25° and 35°) and short radius (r < 10 mm) were selected. The canals were divided randomly into two groups of 30 each. After preparation with Twisted Files and PathFiles-ProTaper to size 25 taper .08, the diameter was measured using computed tomography (CT) at 1, 3, and 16 mm. Canal taper preparation was calculated at the apical third and at the middle-cervical third. Results. Of the 2 file systems, both fell within the ±.05 taper variability. All preparations demonstrated variability when compared to the nominal taper .08. In the apical third, mean taper was significantly different between TF and PathFiles-ProTaper (P value < 0.0001; independent t-test). Mean Taper was significantly higher with PathFile-ProTaper. In the middle-cervical third, mean Taper was significantly higher with TF (P value = 0.015; independent t-test). Conclusion. Taper preparations of the investigated size 25 taper .08 were favorable but different from the nominal taper.

Purpose: This study assessed the microgap width and adhesion of three bacterial species in four dental implants with different interlocks under four screwing torques.
Materials And Methods: Ten samples of four implant systems with various interlockings, including full-hexagonal (FHI), cylindrical-conical trilobe-index (TLI), Morse-taper with octagon terminal index (OI), and hexagonal interlock (slip-fit) (HI-SF), were used. The abutments were screwed to the fixtures under torques of 10, 20, 30, and 40 Ncm.

A 23-year-old man was diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) of the large intestine after colonoscopy revealed longitudinal ulcers, and pathology revealed non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas and anal fistulas. The CD relapsed, and therefore prednisolone (PSL) and infliximab (IFX) treatment was initiated. The PSL was gradually tapered.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, often idiopathic, noninfectious inflammatory neutrophilic dermatitis that causes painful ulcerative cutaneous papillomatous lesions. PG often mimics surgical infection, wound dehiscence, and postoperative cellulitis, leading to high rates of misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Here, a healthy 17-year-old adolescent girl with congenital breast asymmetry, macromastia, and a history of only mild intermittent autoimmune conditions developed an open wound along her inferior left breast incision 2 weeks after reduction mammoplasty.
