Abstract: With an increasing demand for esthetic orthodontic solutions, clear aligner therapy has gained popularity due to its discreet appearance (Kwon et al., 2020). However, the use of flowable composite attachments with aligners can present challenges, particularly in maintaining color stability under various staining conditions (Almeida et al., 2017). This study investigates the staining resistance of four bulk-fill flowable composites commonly used for orthodontic attachments, assessing their susceptibility to discoloration from everyday staining agents (Aldhafyan et......

Abstract: Non communicable diseases also known in some climes as chronic diseases and lifestyle diseases has received global attention in the last few decades. (1,2) This is because technological advances as well as modernization has solved most of the root causes of most communicable diseases in developed countries. There are vaccines, cleaner environment and good water as well as increased publicity and education concerning infection prevention and control (3). Developed countries have a reduced incidence of communicable diseases. (2) The disease burden in.......

Abstract: Implant-supported prostheses have become a standard in rehabilitative therapy, requiring precise placement for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. This article presents an innovative yet simple technique for fabricating a surgical guide to ensure accurate implant positioning. The method involves bone mapping, impression taking, die fabrication, and a stepwise process for designing a customized surgical template incorporating metallic sleeves. The guide facilitates sequential drilling, allowing implants to be placed accurately, and enables immediate provisionalization. While offering advantages like ease of fabrication, cost-effectiveness, and precision, it has limitations, including potential metal sleeve abrasion and challenges with external irrigation. This technique serves as a practical and accessible alternative to advanced digital guides, making it valuable for routine dental practice.......

Abstract: Background: Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a potentially life-threatening condition with nonspecific clinical presentation. While CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) is the diagnostic gold standard, non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) chest scans may offer valuable insights, particularly in patients who cannot receive contrast. Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of NCCT chest scans for evaluation of PTE, focusing on hyperdense lumen sign, average HU (Hounsfield) of pulmonary arteries, pulmonary artery diameter measurements, right atrium......

Abstract: Nail lacquer is primarily used for decorative purposes and to protect nail plates. However, herbal formulations offer safer alternatives for treating onychomycosis via trans-ungual drug delivery. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate an herbal nail lacquer containing polyherbal extracts. Neem, Tulasi, and betel leaf extracts were incorporated into a nail lacquer base. The formulated lacquer was evaluated for physicochemical properties such as drying time, adhesion, gloss, non-volatile content, and antifungal efficacy. The zone of inhibition of the optimized formulation was found to be 28 mm, comparable to the marketed formulation (30 mm). The findings suggest that herbal nail lacquer has promising antifungal potential, but further research is required to optimize its safety and efficacy.

Abstract: Résumé Le schwannome est une tumeur neurogène développée à partir des cellules de Schwann. Il se localise principalement au niveau du médiastin postérieur. En revanche, une localisation pleurale reste exceptionnelle, avec moins de 20 cas rapportés dans la littérature à ce jour. Caractérisé par une croissance lente, il est généralement peu symptomatique, ce qui rend le diagnostic préopératoire difficile à établir......

Abstract: Aims and Objectives: To determine if dental veneers on front teeth are more aesthetic solution than crowns. Methodology: On the clinic of Prosthodontics, ten patients were treated in the frontal area. Two patients were treated with porcelain fused metal bridges, seven patients with porcelain veneers and one patient with composite veneers. Results: According to our study, patients wearing porcelain veneers had more aesthetic results. They had perfect occlusion because they were referred after orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: Accoridng to the final results, we can still use veneers and also porcelain fused bridges as an aesthetic treatment option due to patient wish and need......

Abstract: Background: Clear aligners are modern orthodontic devices used to straighten teeth without metal braces. Made from thermoplastic material, they fit snugly over the teeth and are removable. Attachments, small tooth-colored bumps, are placed on the teeth to help aligners apply the necessary force for effective tooth movement. These attachments are strategically positioned using attachment templates, which ensure precise placement by filling cavities in a thin plastic sheet with composite resin that is then cured. This technology allows for customized and effective orthodontic treatment......

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of on-demand oral dapoxetine combined with tadalafil in comparison to topical lidocaine for lifelong premature ejaculation (PME). Patients diagnosed with lifelong PME were divided into two groups: Group A received oral dapoxetine (30 mg) plus tadalafil (10 mg), while Group B was treated with a 10% lidocaine spray. Key parameters, including intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT), AIPE scores, and weekly intercourse frequency, were measured at baseline and after three months of treatment. The findings indicated that both treatments significantly improved IELT and AIPE scores compared to baseline, with topical lidocaine......
