oxalis lasiandra/dental caries

The objective of this paper is to synthesize published research on the use of radiographs in caries diagnosis in order to produce recommendations for guidelines that are clinically oriented but scientifically based. The options available include the use of various types of radiographic examination

This consideration of the determination of patient caries status in the context of practical, evidence-based management of the initial caries lesion relates to assessments of caries in individuals. It provides the diagnostic basis for the related topics of radiographic monitoring, caries activity

This study was designed to determine how dentists would manage carious lesions of differing severity and whether they would consider using non-invasive methods to manage lesions which were not severe enough to require a restoration. A group of 211 general dental practitioners were interviewed and

Currently a range of systems and classifications are used by clinicians, epidemiologists and clinical research workers to sub-divide carious lesions into different grades. These systems are based on the depth of the lesion and/or the presence/absence of macroscopic cavitation. In order to improve

Background: Salivary fistulas remain a significant problem in patients undergoing major head and neck reconstructive surgery. Surgical sealants have become increasingly used in cutaneous and non-cutaneous wound closure, providing a barrier to fluids/gases and

Investigations were carried out to assess the effect of levamisole immunotherapy as an adjuvant to radiotherapy on the immune response of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. Parameters assessed were leukocyte migration inhibition, response to PPD and oral cancer extract (OCA),

Using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an electron probe surface roughness analyzer (ERA), we conducted the in vivo study of the effect of various filler components on the wear of composite resins. Experimental light-cured composite resins were prepared employing three different filler

This study evaluated the effect of various types of microfiller on the in vivo wear resistance of composite resins. Experimental light-cured composites with two different microfiller systems were prepared: (1) 56 wt % fine quartz filler, 21 wt% organic filler and 3 wt% colloidal silica filler

This study developed a simple method for in vivo evaluation of wear on composite resins and examined the role of filler particles in this process. Experimental light-cured composite resins with two different filler systems were prepared: (1) 81 wt% fine quartz filler (Conventional type) and (2) 73

The present ethnomedicine survey covers the Dharwad district of Karnataka in southern India. It was revealed that 35 plants belonging to 26 families are being used to treat different types of oral ailments like toothache, plaque and caries, pyorrhea and aphthae. Sixteen of these plants were new

BACKGROUND Heart, kidneys, and liver are the vital organs present in vertebrates and some other animals. They have a wide range of functions, such as maintaining homeostasis, detoxification, protein synthesis, and production of biochemical, that are necessary for digestion and maintaining

A total of 61 specimens of the Red-headed Spiny Lizard Sceloporus pyrocephalus Cope (Phrynosomatidae) collected during the breeding season (June/July 2003, 2004 and 2005) from Western Mexico were examined for helminths. The morphological characterization of the helminths found was made through light

A new species of the Mesobiotus harmsworthi group is described from Datanla Waterfall amusement park in Lâm Đồng Province, Vietnam. An integrative taxonomy approach was applied, by combining morphological and morphometric analyses using light contract microscopy (LCM)) and scanning electron
