Secondary Caries Susceptibility In Prosthodontics Correlated To Marginal Gap, Gordana Kovacevska

UBT International Conference

Introduction: Secondary caries of abutment teeth is an unwanted complication during prosthodontics treatment and the main reason for the replacement of FPD restorations. Marginal gap space in fixed restorations is responsible for micro-leakage and cement decomposition with caries appearance due to specific demineralization process by bacteria colonization. The aim of the study was to evaluate caries lesions in correlation to the crown marginal gap.

Material and methods: Marginal gap between the abutment tooth and the crown was measured using a light-body silicone for evaluating of absolute discrepancy with replica technique (RT). Twenty porcelain fused to metal crowns were fabricated on …

Influence Of The Post Space Preparation On The Rest Filling In Endodontically Treated Teeth, Valdet Iseini

UBT International Conference

Endodontic treatment is usually indicated for teeth that are carious, severely damaged or fractured. In such teeth, making a post and a crown is indicated. Although the main purpose of the post is to strengthen the structure of the tooth and the possibility of extending the stump, it is equally important not to introduce reinfection into the canal during operation, but also to prevent the micropermeability of the remaining part of the canal filling. The post space preparation involves the removal of the gutta-percha and cementum from the coronary and middle thirds of the root canal, but it can often …

Evaluation A Renal Function Of Patients With Medication-Overuse Headache (Moh), Drita Yzeiri Havziu

UBT International Conference

Excessive drug use causes Medication-overuse headache (MOH) which can be manifested with chronic daily headaches, occurring monthly 15 or more days when the medicament is used redundantly for more than three months.

The aim is to confirm the early phase of nephrotoxicity in patients with (MOH), who were treated with NSAIDs in combination with other drugs (analgesics, triptans, and antidepressants) and compared patients treated only with Diclofenac, Piroxicam, Ketoprofen, Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, and Celecoxib. Besides conventional markers …

Phenotypic And Allelic Variations Of Blood Types At Different Time And Spatial Intervals, Hyzer Rizani
