Complications following surgery of maxillary impacted canine and their management
Investigates the impaction of maxillary canines, a dental condition where the canines fail to erupt within the expected timeframe despite complete root formation. The research highlights various contributory factors, including genetic predispositions, lack of space due to early loss of deciduous molars, follicular cysts, and the presence of supernumerary teeth. The study explores the etiology of both palatal and buccal impactions, noting the significant role of genetic factors, tooth size, arch length discrepancies, and abnormal tooth development. Treatment options, including orthodontic interventions and surgical extractions, are discussed in the context of the impacted tooth's position and associated complications.

Comparative risk assessment and environmental decision making
Decision making in environmental projects is typically a complex and confusing process characterized by trade-offs between socio-political, environmental, and economic impacts. Comparative Risk Assessment (CRA) is a methodology applied to facilitate decision making when various activities compete for limited resources. CRA has become an increasingly accepted research tool and has helped to characterize environmental profiles and priorities on the regional and national level. CRA may be considered as part of the more general but as yet quite academic field of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). Considerable research in the area of MCDA has made available methods for applying scientific decision theoretical approaches to multi-criteria problems, but its applications, especially in environmental areas, are still limited. The papers show that the use of comparative risk assessment can provide the scientific basis for environmentally sound and cost-efficient policies, strategies, and solutions to our environmental challenges.
