Internal Resorption in the Dentin-Pulpal Complex: An Etiological Link to the Metabolic Acidosis of Diabetes
Abstract: The etiology of internal resorption is not by bacteria or caries but most likely initiated from chronic pulpal inflammation (i.e., chronic pulpitis) following intrusive injury to the dental pulp by one or more of the following means: (1) Traumatic injury (i.e., the most likely etiology) which often involves the oral cavity and teeth. (2) Chemical injury may be by elevated dose fluoride use or from caustic products used in bleaching. …

Prevalence of Dental Fluorosis in Area of Yemen with Above Optimal Level of Fluoride in Drinking Water: An Exploratory Survey
Abstract: Dental Fluorosis is a developmental defect in enamel formation. It is caused by excessive fluoride intake while teeth are developing; during this period (before teeth erupt) dental tissue is very sensitive to fluoride, typically during a child’s first eight years. The aim of this study is to provide the community with sufficient knowledge about the problem and suggest solutions for prevention from it in future. This study was conducted from …

Preventive Approaches in Endodontic Treatment
Abstract: This manuscript is a review of conservative and preventive approaches to restoration of teeth during and after endodontic procedures (serving to protect them from fracture or recurrent caries). These approaches overcome major barriers in restoring cosmetics and function to the dentition. Forces during condensation of gutta percha, post placement, traumatic occlusion, and recurrent caries are major causes of failure associated with endodontic therapy. A large number of endodontically treated teeth …

Safe Practices: Sterilization and Disinfection in Orthodontics– A Review
Abstract: Sterilization is a process by which an article, surface or medium is freed of all microorganisms either in vegetative or spore state. Disinfection is the process of destroying or inhibiting most pathogenic microorganisms and inactivating some viruses, hence reducing microbial contamination to safety levels. To prevent the cross infection which spreads through the different types of instruments used during orthodontic management is of outmost importance as a preventive measure. The …

Orthodontic Forces and Moments: Mathematical Basics
Abstract: Although clinicians have started using very refined and stabilized fixed orthodontic appliances. The physical concepts that form the foundation of orthodontic mechanics are the key in understanding how orthodontic appliances work. The principles are not unique to orthodontics but are basic to the science of static mechanics. Biomechanics is the stud y of mechanics as it affects the biologic systems. It is the application of mechanics to the tooth movements …
