Well Diffusion method was used to formulate mouthrinses of freshly prepared fruit extracts from Punica granatum (Pomegranate), Vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry), Morinda Citrofilia L. (Noni) and Psidium guajava L. (Guava) and distilled water as control. The Plaque and Gingival Index scores were taken into consideration for assessing the effectiveness of mouthrinses against gingivitis. Results: ANOVA test showed significant difference between the groups for PI and GI score (p<0.05). The Post Hoc analysis shows the plaque and gingival index scores were significantly reduced in Group A ,Group B , Group C and Group D than Group E whereas no significant difference exist in the mean PI and GI scores of Group A,B,C and D (p&...

Different clinical techniques are there, one such technique is post and core. An ideal core build- up material must present excellent mechanical properties to resist the stresses that may be produced during function, providing equitable stress distributions of forces and reducing probability of tensile and compressive failures. Recent developments in flowable and restorative composite resins have resulted in a greater total depth of cure—between 4 and 5 mm for some materials. Materials and Methods: study was conducted in the department of prosthodontics and crown and bridge, including implantology along with external laboratory support and molds for tensile and compressive strength were made. Result- Based on strength, Photocore and Multicore HB may be used as alternatives to Kerr Herculite Prec...

The proposed system helps you to have a two level security for your system. The system consists of two major parts. The first one is the ISFER, which forms a framework for facial feature detection. Multiple feature detection techniques are also applied. The second part of the system is its inference engine which converts low level face geometry into high level facial actions. The importance of utilizing biometrics to establish personal authenticity is growing in the present scenario of global security concern. Development of a biometric system for personal identification, which fulfils the requirements for access control of secured areas and other applications like identity validation for social welfares, crime detection, ATM access, computer security, etc., is felt to ...

Open dumps, commonly found in Asian countries, are land disposal sites at which solid wastes are disposed of in such a manner that does not protect the environment, susceptible to open burning, and exposed to disease vectors and scavengers. Leachate is a polluted liquid emanating from the base of the landfill, which contains innumerable organic and inorganic compounds generated due to which serious ground water contamination was observed in wells. Present paper is a case study of Uruli Devachi (Open dump site), near Pune (M.S.) where daily 1000–1200 tonnes of solid waste are disposed at Uruli-Devachi village, and the site was dealing with problems of frequent fires, smoke, flies, birds and bad odour. PMC was spraying the waste with water to prevent fires, resulting in even greater quantities of leachate generated due to which Serious ground water contamination ...

In particular, it has tended to optimize the implant design, the implant surface, or the connection between implant and abutment. All these features have been improved or modified to obtain a better response from the body, better biomechanics, increased bone implant contact surface, and better immunological response. The purpose of this article, carried out by a multidisciplinary team, is to evaluate and understand, through the use also of bioengineering tests, the biomechanical aspects, and those induced on the patient’s tissues, by dental implants. A comparative analysis on different dental implant systems of the OSSTEM manufacturer was carried out to evaluate biomechanical and molecular features. Von Mises analysis has given results regarding the biomechanical behavior of these implants and above all the repercussions on the patient’s tissues. Knowing and understanding the biomechani...
