We conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing EUSOL (Edinburgh University Solution of Lime) and sugar as dressing agents in the treatment of traumatic wounds. Patients in both groups were matched for age and gender. We found EUSOL did better than sugar in terms of contraction of size of wound, presence of discharge, floor area covered with slough, formation of healthy granulation and early possibility of wound coverage.
The marginal fit of new all ceramic crown system. To know the marginal adaptability of new all ceramic systems. Finesse all ceramic system and traditional metal ceramic system total 15 samples of all ceramic (test group) and 15 samples of metal ceramic crown system (control group) were fabricated and tested for marginal distortion at four firing cycles using image analyzer and special software (Leco Version La 32) in which instead of measuring at points an area was measured that gives a computed mean measured thickness of marginal distortion. Value obtained were evaluated for significance using two tailed, unpaired, student t test and Tukeys-Kramer multiple comparison test. Finesse all ceramic crown system showed continued clinically acceptable marginal distortion through all firing cycles (12.84 μm). Greatest distortion of metal ceramic system occurred during degassing cycle(16.90 μm). In respect of marginal fit all ceramic (finesse) crowns is better choice when esthetics is more concern.
Treatment of asymptomatic impacted maxillary canines in adults is inevitable when primary canine becomes lost through extraction or exfoliation or when the impacted tooth becomes symptomatic. Treatment alternatives include an orthodontic procedure to bring the unerupted tooth to the dental arch or prosthetic replacement of the missing tooth. This is an alternative treatment that involves simultaneous placement of implants into extraction sockets of the teeth for replacement of maxillary canine. This treatment modality avoids the need for conventional preparation of teeth as part of prosthetic reconstruction or prolonged orthodontic treatment aimed at bringing the impacted canine to the dental arch.
