One of the common forms of dental injury is anterior crown fractures, which mainly affect teenagers and young adults. Fractures of the coronal portion of the permanent incisors characterize 18-22% of total traumatic injuries to dental hard tissues, of which 96% of them comprise the maxillary incisors. An uncomplicated fracture of the crown is one of the most common types of dental traumatic injury.

Background: Considering that a single passive application of hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a resin infiltration pretreatment can remove between 20 and 45 µm of enamel and cause etching that extends up to 2 mm beyond the white spot lesions (WSLs), it is plausible that its repeated and active applications could result in a greater amount of dental tissue being removed.

Objective: To evaluate the enamel surface loss and micromorphology after etching with 15% HCl using two application methods (passive-P and active-A) and varying numbers of applications (C-placebo - 120 s; 1x HCl - 120 s; 2x HCl - 120 s + 120 s; 3x HCl - 120 s + 120 s + 120 s).

Methodology: Bovine incisors with ≤0.

Functional-guild compositional structure and patchiness in subtidal Nanozostera macrobenthos across three contrasting estuaries.

Mar Environ Res

Two permanently-open inlets, Knysna estuarine bay and Keurbooms Lagoon, and the only temporarily-open Swartvlei estuary are three adjacent warm-temperate water bodies that differ in their size, morphology and hydrography but which nevertheless all support extensive beds of the endangered seagrass, Nanozostera capensis. To investigate whether their varied environmental conditions influence the compositional structure of the functional guilds of seagrass-associated macrobenthos, the relative abundance and patchiness of the 28 identifiable guilds occurring subtidally along their main channels were examined, including in relation to the spatial patchiness in abundance displayed by their whole macrobenthic assemblages. Two markedly different functional-group structurings were apparent, without intermediate states: one overwhelmingly dominated by local but highly abundant, epifaunal microgastropods (Alaba pinnae, 'Assiminea' capensis and 'Hydrobia' knysnaensis) that feed on leaf-associated periphyton, and the other in which this guild although present was insignificant.

Background: Oral health has emerged as a subject of significant public concern. Oral frailty represents the clinical presentation of advanced oral health decline and serves as a significant indicator of systemic frailty. However, current research on oral frailty in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is quite limited.
