Comparison of GTR, T-PRF and open-flap debridement in the treatment of intrabony defects with endo-perio lesions : a randomized controlled trial

2019

Background Titanium- prepared platelet rich fibrin (T-PRF) is an autologous hemo-component with a high concentration of platelets that also incorporates leukocytes, and growth factors into the dense fibrin matrix and can be used as a healing biomaterial. This study assesses the adjunctive use of T-PRF in intrabony defects (IBDs) with open flap debridement (OFD) in comparison with guided tissue regeneration (GTR) as a gold standard and OFD alone as a control. Material and Methods A total of 45 patients (15 per group) were randomized as either T-PRF (test group), GTR (test group), or OFD alone (control group) sites. Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and IBD were recorded. T…

Positron detrapping from defects: A thermodynamic approach

1981

The rate of positron detrapping in thermal equilibrium from lattice defects has been calculated by relating it to the specific trapping rate. The results for vacancies, dislocations and surfaces each show a different temperature dependence for the escape rate. For vacancies a measure of the importance of the detrapping can be obtained from the ratio of the vacancy formation energy to the positron binding energy in the defect. The positronium desorption rate from a surface is also calculated and agreement with experimental results is found.

First Principles Calculations of Atomic and Electronic Structure of TiAl3+- and TiAl2+-Doped YAlO3

2021

In this paper, the density functional theory accompanied with linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method is applied to study the atomic and electronic structure of the Ti3+ and Ti2+ ions substituted for the host Al atom in orthorhombic Pbnm bulk YAlO3 crystals. The disordered crystalline structure of YAlO3 was modelled in a large supercell containing 160 atoms, allowing simulation of a substitutional dopant with a concentration of about 3%. In the case of the Ti2+-doped YAlO3, compensated F-center (oxygen vacancy with two trapped electrons) is inserted close to the Ti to make the unit cell neutral. Changes of the interatomic distances and angles between the chemical bonds in the de…

A tooth whitening and chemical abrasive protocol for the treatment of developmental enamel defects

2018

Abstract This clinical report describes a chemical abrasive protocol and whitening techniques to quantify modifications to the color and volume produced when eliminating white spots associated with developmental defects in enamel. Chemical (oxidative-erosive) abrasive treatment (whitening + 6.6% hydrochloric acid) resolves white spots up to a depth of 0.2 mm. At greater depths, infiltration with 16% hydrochloric acid followed by composite resin infiltration is recommended.

Destabilized green fluorescent protein detects rapid removal of transcription blocks after genotoxic exposure

2007

High stabilities of reporter proteins and their messenger RNAs (mRNAs) interfere with the detection of rapid transient changes in gene expression, such as transcriptional blocks posed by genotoxic DNA lesions. We have modified a green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene within the episomal pMARS vector by addition of a fragment encoding for mouse ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) proline-glutamate-serine-threonine-rich (PEST) sequence in order to target the protein to the proteasomes and achieved an unprecedentedly fast GFP turnover in permanently transfected human cells. As early as 1 h after inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide, the number of fluorescent cells decreased more than 5-fo…

Estudio epidemiológico en baja visión y su tratamiento

1997

Los avances experimentados en los campos de la medicina y la cirugía, han conseguido resolver complicadas patologías oculares, pero no han evitado que muchas personas acaben por tener deficiencias visuales graves. Según datos de la OMS en los países desarrollados o en vías de desarrollo, el 1% de la población padece problemas de baja visión. Estas cifras, aunque no se dispone de datos objetivos contrastados, son mucho mayores en los países no desarrollados. Ante esto surgen los programas de rehabilitación visual con medios ópticos y de terapia visual como respuesta a las necesidades de los deficientes visuales y a su integración en el entorno. En este trabajo se muestra la metodología y el …

Terapia visual con paciente de baja visión

1996

El caso expuesto es de una joven de 14 años con baja visión, que al encontrarse en plena adolescencia y además de vivenciar los cambios físicos y psíquicos que conlleva, se encuentra con una importancia limitación visual que no ha sido aceptada. La terapia visual se planteó con dos objetivos fundamentales: 1) reforzar habilidades visual como motilidad ocular, fijaciones, visión periférica y memoria visual. 2) mejorar el proceso de la información visual. Al finalizar este tratamiento esta joven ha mejorado el rendimiento escolar y lo que tal vez sea más importante: acepta mejor su deficiente visión.

Causas de abandono de la compensación óptica durante la adolescencia

1999

Las primeras dos décadas de vida son de especial importancia en el desarrollo visual, dado que en esta etapa cualquier anomalía cuyo tratamiento se descuide puede producir repercusiones en la edad adulta. Se ha realizado un estudio en una población con una edad media de 22,7 años para analizar las consecuencias del abandono de la compensación de la ametropía así como la prevalencia del mismo. Se ha encontrado un 16,5 % de abandonos, con una mayor incidencia en la hipermetropía. La causa referida por los sujetos ha sido, principalmente, la falta de necesidad en la hipermetropía simple y la incomodidad en el resto de ametropías. The first two decades of life are the most important for visual …

Anisometropía no compensada en un adulto

1996

Una elevada anisometropía no compensada puede acarrear problemas de ineficacia visual así como manifestaciones astenópicas hasta desembocar en la total supresión del ojo amétrope. La lente de contacto puede ayudar a compensar esa ametropía de una forma cómoda, eficaz y evitando la barrera física y psicológica que supondría una gafa. Sin embargo este caso quiere poner de manifiesto que en ocasiones no es suficiente la lente de contacto. La terapia visual es necesaria para obtener visión binocular estable y eficaz.
