Effect of Dentin Thickness on the Pulp of Single Rooted Teeth in Severe Chronic Periodontitis: Histological Study

Background The issues of dentine thickness on the influence of pulpal changes in teeth with deep periodontal pockets has not been assessed. So the present study evaluates the effect of dentin thickness on the pulp in severe chronic periodontitis.Objectivesi To assess the radicular dentin thickness histologically.ii To histologically assess the pulpal changes due to periodontitis.iii To correlate the effect of radicular dentin thickness and periodontitis on dental pulpMethods Single rooted periodontally compromised tooth was atraumatically extracted. Access opening was done using an extracted tooth and the pulp fixed in formalin solution. After sufficient fixation decalcification was done followed by processing and histological examination. The radicular dentin thickness was measured at 3 reference points and the mean value was compared with histological parameters to assess for any changes.Results Results revealed that various histological changes were observed in the pulp. The mean dentin thickness when compared with various histological parameters revealed varying results. Inflammation and edema did not corelate with changes in dentin thickness whereas fibrosis presence of pulp stone pulp vessels and odontoblastic integrity showed a positive correlation but were not statistically significant. Conclusion Within the limitations of the study although a statistically significant difference was not observed in the root dentin thickness and histological changes in the pulp there is a definitive increase in the severity of pulpal changes associated with inflammation.

Efficiency of orange oil solvent combined with disinfectants and bioactive glass (BAG) on the cleanness of root canal after endodontic retreatment: An in vitro study

Aim: Endodontic retreatment is associated with clinical complication with doubtful success rate due to limited removal and cleaning of remnants and bacteria. This study investigated the effect of orange oil solvent containing bioactive glass on the removal of root canal filling material and bacterial loading during root canal retreatment. Materials and Methods: Thirty single-rooted, freshly extracted human central teeth were collected. Access opening and instrumentation were done. Samples were injected with 10 µL bacterial suspension (Enterococcus faecalis [E. faecalis]) at 37°C for 48 h and then filled with root canal filling using lateral compaction technique. Upon removal of the filling materials by retreatment kits, samples were divided based on the type of irrigating solution into three groups (n = 10): G1, 5 mL orange oil solution only; G2, 5 mL of 5% sodium hypochlorite with an orange oil solvent solution; G3, 5 mL of orange oil solution with bioactive glass (10%). All groups were subjected to a turbidity analysis and tested for colony-forming units (CFU)/mL. Afterward, longitudinal sections of samples were obtained from the root, and scanning electron microscopy was used to scan root wall. Scanned images were analyzed by two evaluators using a scoring system. Data were then statistically analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: Significant difference resulted between tested groups for bacterial count (log CFU) at P = 0.015. G2 showed the highest significant bacterial count compared with G3 (P = 0.018). G1 showed an insignificant difference with other groups (P > 0.05). For cleaning efficiency scores, the highest significant scores resulted for G2, which was significant with +ve ctrl group (P = 0.01). Conclusion: The addition of bioactive glass did not influence antibacterial activity of orange oil irrigants in the removal of residual root canal filling materials.

File Breakage in Conventional Versus Contracted Endodontic Cavities.

To compare rotations to failure and tip separation length of a nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary in- strument within a simulated mesio-buccal canal of a mandibular molar with a conventional or contracted endodontic cavity. Two identical lithium disilicate #30 crowns were milled. A conventional or contracted endodontic cavity was prepared. A custom glass tube was fabricated with taper and length replicating a mesio-buccal canal, including buccal and lingual curvature, and placed at the mesio-buccal orifice of each crown, held in a silicone mold. Instrumentation was simulated using 30/.04 Ni-Ti rotary files following manufacturer recommended 1.8 Nm torque and 500 RPM (n=20 per access type). Instrumentation was video recorded to determine time (sec- onds) and rotations to failure. The length of broken tips was measured. The experimental data were compared using a t-test (significance level 0.05). Stresses in the instruments were examined using finite element analysis. Number of rotations to failure (mean±standard deviation) was 599±126 for conventional and 465±65 and for contracted access; tip separation lengths (mean±standard deviation) were 3.99±0.29 for conventional and 4.90±1.02 mm for contracted access. Number of rotations to failure and tip separation lengths were signifi- cantly different between the two access openings (p<0.001). Finite element analysis confirmed higher file curva- ture and accompanying higher stress levels with contracted access and the maximum stress further from the tip. Within the limitations of this study, the contracted access caused earlier failure of the Ni-Ti in- strument with longer tip separation lengths than the conventional access due to higher stresses towards the middle section of the instrument.

Evaluation of Paste and Aqueous Lubricants on the Incidence of File Breakage, Quality of Obturation and Postoperative Pain in Children after Pulpectomy in Primary Teeth: A Randomised Clinical Trial

Introduction: Pulpectomy in primary teeth involves various steps, including tooth isolation, access opening, canal instrumentation, and obturation. Lubricants are commonly used in the biomechanical preparation of root canals to suspend and emulsify debris generated by the mechanical action of hand and rotary files. While paste-type lubricants (Prime Dental RC Help) and aqueous lubricants (17% aqueous Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid [EDTA]) are available for use, there is a lack of studies in the literature documenting the effects of these lubricants on file fracture, obturation quality, and postoperative pain. Aim: To compare the effects of paste-type lubricants with aqueous lubricants on file breakage, quality of obturation, and postoperative pain in children treated with pulpectomy in primary teeth. Materials and Methods: This randomised clinical trial involved 40 primary teeth, evenly distributed for instrumentation using Kedo-S Plus pediatric rotary files. In Group 1 (n=20), paste-type lubricant was used during canal preparation, while in Group 2 (n=20), aqueous lubricant was used. The clinician recorded data on file fractures, evaluated the quality of obturation using immediate postoperative radiographs, and measured postoperative pain using the Four-point facial pain intensity rating scale. Descriptive statistics were performed once the data was tabulated. Results: Total of 40 primary teeth were included, participants aged 4-9 years, 22 girls and 18 boys. There was no incidence of file fracture in the group-2 treated with aqueous lubricants. Regarding the quality of obturation, the group-1 treated with paste-type lubricant had a higher number of under-fill and over-fill cases (p=0.002, 0.001), while no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of optimal fill (p=0.661). At 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours, there was no difference in pain experienced by the participants in both groups (p&gt;0.05). Conclusion: During rotary instrumentation in primary teeth, aqueous lubricants were found to be more effective than pastetype lubricants in preventing file breakage, providing optimal obturation quality, and reducing postoperative pain.

Heidegger’s contribution to overcoming the metaphysical determination of Freedom, taken as an unconditioned foundation, and its opening of a new access to the investigation of the truth of Being. Part I

Abordaremos aqui a problemática da Liberdade no contexto histórico de sua discussão no âmbito do Pensamento metafísico do Ser –âmbito formalizado pela primeira vez pela Filosofia de Platão e de Aristóteles. O nosso intuito é mostrar em linhas gerais como a partir do pressuposto da incondicionalidade, tomada enquanto a determinação fundamental da Liberdade, o Pensamento moderno angaria a configuração do Ser na forma da Subjetividade. Tomamos a questão da Liberdade como fio condutor desta investigação porque compreendemos que tal questão põe o ponto de partida o mais genuíno para a investigação do estabelecimento das formas da Subjetividade pretendidas pelo Pensamento moderno. Encaminharemos nossa explanação indicando as perspectivas através das quais o Pensamento grego, medieval e moderno contemplou a incondicionalidade no âmbito da problemática do Ser. Aberto o contexto problemático sobre o qual se desdobra a questão da incondicionalidade, passaremos a abordar o papel atribuído à Liberdade pela Filosofia de Kant e de Schelling na determinação do Ser de todo.

Распределенное научное познание – на пути к разнообразию

The author explores to the conditions for implementation of science as a public good and connects these conditions with the problem of epistemic injustice. She proposes the hypothesis that in order to implement science as a public good or actualize it as a source of diversity, it is necessary to focus theoretical attention on the concept of distributed scientific cognition and allow for the possibility of relevant practices. The rules of distributed scientific cognition practices can and should ensure both the epistemic constructiveness of science and its epistemic justice, legitimizing the openness of access to scientific cognition distributed outside the scientific community. The text reveals the main characteristics of the concept of distributed cognition, introduced by E. Hutchins. The author proposes additionally take into account two meanings of distributed scientific cognition – extensive and intensive. The first refers to the possibility of unlimited addition of participants in cognition with a reasonable relevance of their positions. The second opens up the perspective of working on a distribution that has not yet happened and suggests that any epistemic position can be distributed. She also demonstrates the applicability of the concept to relevant scientific practices related to both professional scientific communication and public communication of science.

Comparative Evaluation of Different Retreatment Files for Gutta-percha Removal from Curved Root Canals Accessed with Novel Ultra-conservative Opening: An In-vitro Study

Introduction: In endodontic retreatment, gutta-percha removal must be done correctly in order to assure a successful outcome following failed procedures. The goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of stainless-steel hand files with three different nickel-titanium rotary instrument systems for removing guttapercha using ultra-conservative access opening in curved canals. Aim: To compare the efficacy of different rotary instruments for removing obturating material from root canals with Ninja access in mandibular mesiobuccal moderately curved canals measured radiographically using Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: An in-vitro study was conducted in the Conservative and Endodontics department, Karnavati School of Dentistry, Karnavati University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India in the time period of June 2022 to July 2022. Forty extracted human mandibular molar teeth were accessed through Ultraconservative opening (Ninja Access). After preparing the root canals, they were sealed using gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer through lateral compaction. The teeth were then stored for one week. The samples were divided into four groups according to the rotary file used: Group I- Hedstrom Files; Group II- Pro taper Universal Retreatment (PTUR) Files; Group III- Neoendo Retreatment Files; Group IV- R-Endo Retreatment. The amount of remaining filling material after the retreatment procedure was checked with CBCT. The statistical analysis was performed using R statistical analysis software version 4.1.0 for windows. Results: In sagittal section, there was significant difference of residual filling material between the four file systems in middle third only (p=0.048) while significant difference was seen only in apical third in the coronal section (p=0.011). However, the three rotary retreatment files left significantly less remnants than Hedström files during removal of the gutta-percha. The time taken for retreatment was significantly higher for Hedström files (398.90±20.717) sec followed by R-endo retreatment files (274.30±14.407). Conclusion: H file was the least effective in removing guttapercha from the canals when compared to the other three file systems. The Neo-Endo rotary retreatment system was faster.

Regional integration and economic performance: evidence from the Eurasian Economic Union

ABSTRACT There is a strong relationship between regional integration and economic performance. This paper investigates the impact of regional integration on macroeconomic indicators in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) – a trade block created by the former Soviet republics in 2014. This study compares two types of regional collaboration strategies: first, unilateral trade liberalization with the one-sided opening of market access that does not imply any mutual concessions, and second, reciprocal regional liberalization evaluated as the degree of regional economic integration between the countries. We apply a random effect panel data analysis with the dataset over 25 years since 1995 covering five countries (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia). We find that, under the current stage, the EAEU positively affects trade flows, negatively affects the level of employment, and has no impact on other economic performance indicators. We also conclude that despite the declared level of economic integration – customs union – Eurasian block functions mainly as a free trade area facilitating mutual trade, which is different from the broader objectives that regional integration aims to achieve.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the acceleration of digitalization to occur throughout the world in various aspects of life, one of which is in the world of education. The openness of access to learning resources has not been the right solution for humans to learn independently. There are details in the learning process that require the guidance of a teacher called a mentor. In line with this, PT Nusademy Solusi Indonesia (Nusademy) built a marketplace mentoring platform that allows learning to take place in a network between users and mentors. Nusademy provides an opportunity for users to able to choose learning topics and mentors according to their needs. In it, there are steps for mentoring orders, which are currently still being processed manually by the admin every time there is a transaction. So, we need a system that can bridge users with mentors to share benefits without having to depend on admin availability. Python is a programming language that has characteristics suitable for autonomous system development and integration with third-party services. This study aims to create, implement, and test an automated order mentoring system on the Nusademy Web Application which is integrated with the Xendit payment application, the Google Calendar scheduling application, and the Google Hangouts video-conferencing application. The automation system provides automatic services in billing, checking payment status, communication processes between users and admins, communication processes between admins and mentors, creating virtual mentoring rooms, and notification of mentoring agenda reminders. The system is launched on a cloud computing-based server which can enable automatic capacity scaling based on user requests using Google Cloud Run. Testing of the order mentoring automation system is carried out by considering aspects of system capability, system reliability, level of effectiveness, user experience, and business analysis.

The development of highway infrastructure and Exit Tolls is very important for regional development. The existence of toll road infrastructure and Exit tolls provides easy access by land route so it is expected to have an impact on accelerating regional economic growth. Since the construction of the Exit Toll access in Subang City, the area around the Exit Toll has become an important area for regional development, especially community economic activities such as trade, industry, and public services. Over time, the area around the Subang Toll Exit has developed into a center of commercial activity marked by changes in land use along the corridor of Jalan Otto Iskandardinata. This study aims to analyze the impact of land use change and its relationship to traffic volume that has occurred along the Jalan Otto Iskandardinata corridor since the opening of the Subang Toll Exit access. Land use change analysis is carried out by comparing satellite imagery data obtained from Google Earth and through field surveys. The correlation with traffic volume was obtained through linear regression analysis with land use change as the dependent variable and vehicle activity in the road corridor as the independent variable. The results show that land use changes that occur along the corridor of Jalan Otto Iskandardinata Subang are dominated by commercial land uses. The change in land use also has an impact on changing the visual image of the road corridor.

One Visit Endodontic with Internal Bleaching on Tooth 12 Post Trauma: A Case Report

Introduction: Post-traumatic non-vital teeth is one of the indications for One Visit Endodontic. Trauma to the teeth may arise from conditions that cause the teeth to become necrotic so that the teeth will look darker and experience discoloration. Clinical conditions that indicate the death of the dental pulp and teeth require endodontic treatment. This situation will cause discoloration of the teeth that occur as a result of the metamorphosis of calcified pulp. Internal whitening is a treatment that can be done after the first treatment. Purpose: To provide information about discolored teeth management after trauma which causes pulp necrosis by doing root canal treatment and internal bleaching to change tooth color. Case: A 31-year-old woman came to the RSKGMP Universitas Airlangga with a referral from the orthodontics department where her teeth were darker in color and interfered with her appearance. In the previous history, the patient had an accident and trauma 10 years ago. Case Management: The first step is access opening and a good glide path. Root canal preparation was performed using the Crown Down Pressureless technique. The obturation technique used is Single Cone. The results were good and there were no symptoms during the control. Conclusion: One visit endodontic can be a treatment option for post-traumatic non-vital teeth. Internal bleaching with Walking Bleach Technique is also proven effective in restoring the original tooth color without excessive reduction of the dental crown.

Academic dishonesty on online learning among vocational high school students

&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;This study described the academic dishonesty phenomenon in accounting subject online learning at the business and management vocational high schools and identify the factors that influenced students to commit academic dishonesty. This was case study research with a qualitative approach. The participants were four teachers and six students from accounting and institutional finance classes. The data were collected using interviews and documentation, then being analyzed using interactive analysis techniques. The results showed that most students’ academic dishonesty behaviors were cheating and collaborating during examinations or assignments and doing individual assignments together. Several factors related to academic dishonesty among students include: i) Rationalization, stating rational reasons about the teacher not explaining the material thoroughly, which impacted students’ lack of material understanding; ii) Pressure, which comes from a desire within the students and parents’ demands to get good grades; iii) Opportunity, which arises due to the lack of direct teacher supervision on students’ work and the openness of internet access; and iv) Lack of academic ability, showing that the students who commit academic dishonesty are usually lacking in terms of academic ability.&lt;/span&gt;

A fine-grained intrusion protection system for inter-edge trust transfer

The phenomenal popularity of smart mobile computing hardware is enabling pervasive edge intelligence and ushering us into a digital twin era. However, the natural barrier between edge equipment owned by different interested parties poses unique challenges for cross-domain trust management. In addition, the openness of radio access and the accessibility of edge services render edge intelligence systems vulnerable and put sensitive user data in jeopardy. This paper presents an intrusion protection mechanism for edge trust transfer to address the inter-edge trust management issue and the conundrum of detecting indistinguishable malevolent nodes launching weak attacks. First, an inter-edge reputation transfer framework is established to leverage the trust quality of different edges to retain the accumulated trust histories of users when they roam in multi-edge environments structurally. Second, a fine-grained intrusion protection system is proposed to reduce the negative impact of attacks on user interactions and improve the overall trust quality and system security of edge intelligence services. The experimental results validate the effectiveness and superior performance of the proposed intrusion protection for edge trust transfer in securing, enhancing, and consolidating edge intelligence services.

Comparative volumetric analysis of three different obturating materials in primary molars under cone beam computed tomography: an in-vitro study.

To increase the success rate of the endodontic treatment in primary teeth various, obturating materials have been introduced to meet the specific requirements for deciduous dentition and to create a three-dimensional (3D) seal to prevent recurrence of bacterial infection. This study was conducted to compare and evaluate the three-dimensional seal and volumetric filling of primary canals obturated with different medicaments using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). In-vitro cross sectional study was designed with sample size of 108 specimens. Thirty-six extracted primary molars were selected for the study and randomly divided into 3 groups A (Metapex; Meta Biomed, Osong-eup, Korea), B (Endoflas; Sanlor Laboratories, Cali, Colombia) and C (Zinc oxide eugenol; DPI India Ltd., Mumbai, India). After access opening, canals were prepared up to 30 no k- file followed by obturation with Metapex, Endoflas and Zinc oxide eugenol in respective groups. CBCT was done before and after the obturation for volumetric analysis. The data obtained were analyzed to attain POV (percentage of obturated volume) and PVV (percentage volume of voids). The percentage of obturated volume (POV) was highest for Endoflas group (88.87) followed by Metapex (83.58) and ZnO (72.78) and the difference was statistically significant. Whereas the percentage volume of voids (PVV) was more in Zinc oxide eugenol group (27.22) followed by Metapex (16.42) and least voids were seen in Endoflas group (11.14). Voids were found in all three obturating materials. Endoflas showed superior three-dimensional (3D) sealing capability whereas ZnO eugenol having least sealing capacity.

Early prediction of learners at risk in self-paced education: A neural network approach

To address the demands of modern education and increase flexibility, many higher education institutions are considering self-paced education programs. However, student retention is yet a widely recognized challenge faced in self-paced education. While many studies have examined the potential of the use of data about student interaction with learning technologies to predict student success, studies that focus on self-paced education are scarce. To address this gap in the literature, this paper reports on the findings of a study that has investigated the performance of a well-known deep learning technique i.e., Long Short-term Memory (LSTM), in the prediction of students at risk of failing a course offered in a self-paced mode of online education. The study has utilized a freely accessible Open University Learning Analytics Dataset comprising 22,437 students with 69 % pass, and 31 % failed instances. The deep LSTM shows the highest predictive power to classify between pass and fail students, compared to all other alternatives by achieving an accuracy of 84.57 %, precision of 82.24 % and recall of 79.43 %. Interestingly, with only first five weeks of course activity log data used for training, the receiver operating characteristic based diagnostic accuracy of the LSTM algorithm is achieved up to 71 %, that outperforms almost all other conventional algorithms - despite trained on the complete dataset collected for the entire duration of the course i.e. up to 38 weeks. Furthermore, this study has also employed a shapely additive explanation model to identify the most important predictors of student retention, e.g., assessment submission and attempted quizzes. This approach is essential in order to increase the interpretability of deep learning techniques and, thus, increase their potential to generate actionable insights.
