Multiple sporting equipment's are employed to prevent irreversible damage to oro-facial structures, and to reduce the overall cost of treatment. However in the undesired consequence of loss of oral structures, multiple treatment options are utilized to restore, esthetics, comfort and function. Osseointegrated implant supported rehabilitation of oral structures in trauma cases provides highly predictable treatment outcomes along with preservation of remaining tissues. This case report presents the management of avulsed teeth caused by hockey stick injury, with osseointegrated dental implant supported fixed partial dentures in esthetic zone using contemporary restorative techniques.

The retrospective study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and Dow University Hospital, Karachi and comprised data between February 2000 and March 2013of patients who had been admitted with a recent or prior history of trauma with a soft tissue defect in upper two-thirds of tibia and who had undergone coverage procedure using distal based flap. The mean age of the total 21 patients in the study was 29±9 years, and 20(95%)were male. Road traffic accident was the most common mechanism of injury in 13(62%). Tibia was exposed in all the 21(100%) cases requiring soft tissue coverage. There was associated fracture of tibia in 18(86%) patients. Mean flap length was 12±1.7 cm and width was 5.3 ±0.86 cm. Maximum size for the flap dissected was 15x7cm. Donor site was covered with split thickness skin graft in 19(90.5%) patients. Flap survival rate was 100%....

The aim of the study was to assess the trends in complete denture impression materials and techniques among general dental practitioners (GDP) and specialists (SP) in Pakistan. In this cross-sectional study, self-designed-structured questionnaires were distributed among 500 dentists in Pakistan. The three-part questionnaire enquired about the demographic features, preferred impression materials, impression techniques and related procedures commonly used in their clinical practice. A comparison between the responses of SP and GDP was also drawn. Frequency distribution and Chi-square test were performed to compare the responses. A total of 294 questionnaires were completed at a response rate of 58.8%. 75% of GDP used alginate for primary impressions and 66% of SP preferred impression compound for the same. A majority of both SP and GDP favoured the used of custom trays (SP 81%, GDP 85%...

Thus using technology advancement that produced wide range of advertisement models which offer benefits to business such as interactive and personalized e-ads and reaching target customers precisely in advertisement campaigns. There are variety of advertising models available i.e. search engine marketing, permission marketing, affiliate marketing etc each with its own unique features. This study is focused on marking the trend for the adoption of such models in Pakistan business industry and effectiveness of such models. It is apparent that specific economic, socio-technical & cultural factors has their impact on devising electronic advertisement practices of organizations in Pakistan. The core benefits of electronic advertisement are measured in terms of creating brand awareness, attracting customers and i...

It was aimed to find out the extent up to which subsurface has contaminated due to chromium in areas adjacent to the tannery units. Eight (8) soil bores were conducted up to the depth of 30.5 meters and soil samples were tested for total and hexavalent chromium concentrations retained in soil by aqua regia digestion at the every depth of 1.5 meters. Afterwards monitoring wells were installed in these eight (8) bores so as to monitor chromium concentrations in the groundwater on monthly basis. The main source of contamination was considered to be the four (4) drains carrying tanneries effluent therefore samples were collected from these drains so as to observe seasonal variation in chromium concentration.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to come home and find that the house is cool, the rice is cooked, and the clothes are freshly laundered and ready to be dried? The idea behind constructing of this device is to implement a new technology to switch on a power switch by using a Telephone System, Modem and Remote Access Switch’s interface. This circuit will activate its 240V AC outlet when a predetermined number of rings occur on the phone line. The remote access switch will enable the user to turn on any appliance that is connected to it from a remote location. Remote Access Switch will use the telephone line to receive ring pulse signal from incoming call. The USB External Modem will generate a ring pulse width and send the pulse signal to Remote Access Switch’s Interface via USB to RS232 connector which consists of Ring Indicator (RI), Data Carrier Detect (DCD) & Ground (GND) signals. This device makes life easier & convenient to remote a power switch at anywhere & anytime. https://www.lap-publishing.com/catalog/details//store/gb/book/978-3-659-38533-9/telephone-activated-remote-access-switch?locale=gb"

This study was conducted from Jan 2001-2003 at Military Hospital, Rawalpindi. All patients presenting with infertility were evaluated with a view to select 100 patients of PCOS with the help of history of oligomenorrhoea, hirsuitism and acne. Diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography and hormone analysis (LH, FSH, prolactin, testosterone along with LH:FSH>2). The 100 selected patients were divided into two equal groups. One was given combined clomiphene citrate (CC) and metformin for ovulation induction and the other CC alone. These patients were followed for six cycles for ovulation and conception. Follicle tracking on ultrasonography and day-21 serum progesterone level were used to detect ovulation while conception was confirmed by urine preg...

These factors include the physical properties of the material, the laboratory fabrication process, the laboratory fabrication technique and clinical procedures that may damage these brittle materials. The surface structure and composition of a dental restorative material influences the initial bacterial adhesion, and a rough material surface will accumulate more plaque. Biomaterials for the restoration of oral function are prone to biofilm formation, affecting oral health. An up to date online database search was performed using the keywords “bacterial biofilm,” “ceramic strength,” “dental ceramics” and “surface roughness.” The searches were performed on Medline/PubMed, and Scopus and the cross references were further searched in the databases to verify further studies. The relevant papers included original articles, systemic reviews, case reports and letters to the editor. All the papers we...
