Multivalency: Concepts, Research and Applications
Multivalency: Concepts, Research & Applications is divided into three parts. Part one provides background knowledge on various aspects of multivalency and cooperativity and presents practical methods for their study. Fundamental aspects such as thermodynamics, kinetics and the principle of effective molarity are described, and characterisation methods, experimental methodologies and data treatment methods are also discussed. Parts two and three provide an overview of current systems in which multivalency plays an important role in chemistry and biology, with a focus on the design rules, underlying chemistry and the fundamental principles of multivalency.
Molecular microbiology of heavy metals
Molecular Microbiology of Heavy Metals includes chapters on allocation of metals in cells, metal transporter, storage and metalloregulatory proteins, cellular responses to metal ion stress, transcription of genes involved in metal ion homeostasis, uptake of essential metals, metal efflux and other detoxification mechanisms. Also discussed are metal bioreporters for the nanomolar range of concentration and tools to address the metallome. Chapters in the second part cover specific metals such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Co, Zn and Mo as key nutrient elements and Ag, As, Cd, Hg and Cr as toxic elements.
Molar Incisor Hypomineralization : A Clinical Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment
This book is a wide-ranging reference on current clinical and scientific knowledge regarding the various aspects of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). Background information is first presented on the structural properties of hypomineralized enamel, the prevalence of MIH, and potential etiological factors.
Impacted Third Molars
Impacted Third Molars, Second Edition, provides dentists with all the information they need to confidently remove impacted third molars, from case selection and imaging to sedation and patient management. Step-by-step surgical procedures support dentists in the successful surgical removal of third molars.
Human teeth : Key skills and clinical illustrations
Provides information on nomenclature, tooth numbering systems, tooth morphology, and anatomy and stages of tooth formation. It continues with root canal morphology and anatomy of incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
Efficacy of absorbable gelfoam soaked by tranexamic acid in controlling bleeding, pain, and dry socket following surgical extraction of third molar
Bleeding, pain, and dry socket are common complications following third molar surgical extractions. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Gelfoam Soaked by Tranexamic Acid in reducing bleeding, managing pain, and preventing dry socket in patients undergoing third molar surgical extractions. Additionally, the role of Gelfoam in supporting the surgical flap during suturing was also examined.
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.
Clinical cases in early orthodontic treatment an atlas of when, how, and why to treat
Describes the most common types of malocclusion in children and presents illustrated step-by-step guidance on the procedures employed in their management, with the focus on early intervention. Advice is provided on the challenging decisions of when to start orthodontic treatment and whether to choose a one-phase or a two-phase treatment, taking into account the malocclusion, its severity, and its etiology.
Analytical Ultracentrifugation of Polymers and Nanoparticles
Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a powerful method for the characterization of polymers, biopolymers, polyelectrolytes, nanoparticles, dispersions, and other colloidal systems. The method is able to determine the molar mass, the particle size, the particle density and interaction parameters like virial coefficients and association constants. Because AUC is also a fractionation method, the determination of the molar mass distribution, the particle size distribution, and the particle density distribution is possible. A special technique, the density gradient method, allows fractionating heterogeneous samples according to their chemical nature that means being able to detect chemical heterogeneity.
