Comparison of disinfectants by immersion and spray atomization techniques on the linear dimensional stability of different interocclusal recording materials: An in vitro study
Authors: Gounder Revathy , Vikas B. V. J. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate and compare the effect of 0.5% chlorhexidine gluconate, 1% sodium hypochlorite, and 2% glutaraldehyde by immersion and spray atomization technique on the linear dimensional stability of Jet bite, Aluwax and Ramitec interocclusal recording materials. Materials and Methods: Three representative materials: Jet bite (addition silicone), Aluwax and Ramitec (polyether) were mixed according to manufacturer's instructions and then specimens were prepared according to the specifications of ISO 4823. All the specimens except the control (distilled water) were treated with disinfectant solutions (0.5% chlorhexidine gluconate, 1% sodium hypochlorite, and 2% glutaraldehyde) for 30 and 60 min (n = 10) by spray and immersion technique. Once removed from the solutions, the test samples were washed in water for 15 s, dried and measured after 24 h 3 times using a measuring microscope with an accuracy of 0.0001 mm. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test with significance level of 5% were used to assess the statistical data (α = 0.05). Result: All groups showed no significant difference statistically, in linear dimension when disinfected for 30 min by spray or immersion technique. Polyether had significantly higher dimensional variation when immersed in sodium hypochlorite for 60 min. Addition silicone showed the least dimensional change which ranged from 0.024% to 0.05%, followed by polyether from 0.004% to 0.171% and Aluwax from 0.146% to 0.228%. Conclusion: To preserve the dimensions and surface of the recording materials and effective microbial elimination, restrictions should be applied in the method of disinfection and time duration. However, using the disinfectants either by spray or immersion technique, the dimensional change was <0.5% which was not clinically significant according to the American Dental Association specification no. 19 criteria within the first 24 h.

Authors: Agarwal Sumit Kumar , Jhingran Rajesh , Bains Vivek Kumar , Srivastava Ruchi , Madan Rohit , Rizvi Iram 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of coronally advanced flap (CAF) procedure under microsurgical approach for the management of Miller's Class I and II gingival recession defects with the use of either platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or amnion membrane (AM) in comparison to CAF alone. Materials and Methods: A total of 45 sites with Miller's Class I or II gingival recession defect were randomly distributed for: Experimental Group I (CAF with PRF) sites (n = 15) which were treated with the microsurgical approach using CAF along with PRF; experimental Group II (CAF with AM) sites (n = 15) were treated with the microsurgical approach using CAF along with AM; control Group III (CAF alone) sites (n = 15) were treated with the microsurgical approach using CAF alone. Vertical gingival recession (VGR), horizontal gingival recession (HGR), gingival thickness (GT) (using transgingival probing [TGP] and ultrasonography [USG]) and patients’ response and acceptance were documented at baseline, 3 months and 6 months after surgical interventions. Results: CAF alone and in combination with PRF or AM, were effective techniques for root coverage with average VGR values of 1.47 ± 0.92 mm (56%), 0.67 ± 1.23 mm (36%) and 0.60 ± 1.06 mm (33%) in Group I (CAF with PRF), Group II (CAF with AM), and Group III (CAF alone), respectively. Complete coverage (100%) was obtained in 33.3% sites of Group I (CAF with PRF), 26.6% sites of Group II (CAF with AM) and 13.3% in Group III (CAF alone). Patients’ response and acceptance for surgical treatment modality in terms of patient esthetic score and decrease in hypersensitivity score was highest for Group I (CAF with PRF), whereas patient comfort score was highest for Group II (CAF with AM). At 6 months follow-up, significant increase in GT measurements (using TGP and USG) in Group I (CAF with PRF), whereas, nonsignificant increase for Group II (CAF with AM) and no change or decrease for Group III (CAF alone) as compared to baseline was observed. Conclusion: The present study observed enhancement in root coverage when PRF or AM are used in conjunction with CAF as compared to CAF alone. These results are based on 6-month followup. Therefore, the long-term evaluation may be necessary to appreciate the clinical effect of autologous PRF and AM.
Eye-rima oris distance and its relation to the vertical dimension of occlusion measured by two methods: Anthropometric study in a sample of Yemeni dental students
Authors: Alhajj Mohammed Nasser , Khalifa Nadia , Amran Abdullah 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the distance measured from the distal outer of the eye to the parting line of the lips and the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) measured by two methods. Methods: One hundred and fourteen dental students (76 males and 38 females) were recruited for this study with mean age (22.34 ± 1.83) years. The distance from distal canthus of the eye to rima oris (eye-RO) was compared with two different measurements of the OVD (nasal [N] to gnathion [Gn], and subnasal [Sn] to menton [Me]). All distances were measured using modified digital caliper. Results: Pearson correlation coefficient test for correlations and paired samples t-test for differences were used with a significant level of (P < 0.05). There was a positive significant correlation between the eye-RO distance and the two measurements of the OVD. However, this correlation was stronger between eye-RO and the distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin than that between eye-RO and the distance from the septum of the nose to the under of the chin (r = 0.313 with P = 0.0007, r = 0.296 with P = 0.0014), respectively. Conclusion: The distance from the outer canthus of the eye to the parting of the lips seems to be a reliable method in predicting the OVD and should relate to the distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the root and canal morphology of maxillary third molars in Central India population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis. Materials and Methods: CBCT images of 116 maxillary third molars were observed, and data regarding the number of roots, the number of canals, and Vertucci's Classification in each root was statistically evaluated. Results: Majority of Maxillary third molars had three roots (55.2%) and three canals (37.9%). Most MB root (43.8%), DB root (87.5%), and palatal root (100%) of maxillary third molars had Vertucci Type I. Mesiobuccal root of three-rooted maxillary third molars had Vertucci Type I (43.8%) and Type IV (40.6%) configuration. Overall prevalence of C-shaped canals in maxillary third molars was 3.4%. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of three-rooted maxillary molars with three canals.

Published: February 2016

ABSTRACTAmeloblastic fibroma (AF) is rare benign odontogenic tumour which usually occurs in the first two decades of life. It can occur either the mandible or maxilla but it is most frequently found in the posterior region of the mandible. Treatment of AF in usual is a conservative approach, such as enucleation and curettage but the aggressive lesions require a radical approach. A more radical approach should be considered in older patients who have likely high recurrence tendency. This report describes a case of AF in a 38-year-old female patient identified during a routine radiographic exam. Tomographic examination through three-dimensional reconstruction indicated vestibular fenestration of the cortical bone, with involvement of lingual cortical bone as the lession extended to the posterior region. We removed the tumor under local anesthesia. In this case patient has continued to be followed frequently and has been disease-free for 3 years.
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Utility of Corticosteroids in the Treatment of Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Published: February 2016

Background Corticosteroids (CCS) are effective in reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, but it is unknown whether CCS are effective in treating hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Methods We searched PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to May 15, 2015, for randomized controlled trials examining the effects of CCS in HG. Results We identified five trials ( n = 310) examining the effects of CCS in women with HG. Meta-analysis was possible for one outcome ( n = 214) and showed no significant effect of CCS on readmission rates (odds ratio, 0.37; 95% confidence internal: 0.1-1.35). Two small studies ( n = 104) reported a reduction of vomiting episodes, and one ( n = 24) found improvement of well-being, but no effect on other outcomes. None of the studies that investigated perinatal outcome ( n = 173) found an effect of CCS and were underpowered to investigate teratogenic effects. We found evidence of publication bias. Conclusion Meta-analysis yielded no effect of CCS therapy on readmission rates. Single small studies indicated possible beneficial effects on other outcomes. Future high-quality trials are necessary and would benefit from consensus on HG definition and core outcomes of HG therapy.

Oral Lesions Diagnosed during Oral Cancer Prevention Campaign in Fernandópolis, Brazil, 2015
Authors: Tomo Saygo , Cruz Marlene Cabral Coimbra , Fernandes Karina Gonzales Camara , Kina Mônica , Boer Nagib Pezati , Simonato Luciana Estevam 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT

Background
To describe oral lesions diagnosed during oral cancer prevention campaign performed in Fernandópolis, Brazil, in 2015.

Materials and methods
Patients who attended for the Basic Health Units of the city of Fernandópolis on the day of the campaign were examined by dental surgeons who searched for oral lesions clinically suggestive for oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or potentially malignant lesions. Final diagnosis was obtained by a re-evaluation of patients with suspicious lesions performed by an expert in oral diseases.

Results
Seven hundred and sixty-two patients were examined during the campaign; although 96 (12.59%) presented with oral suspicious lesions and forwarded for re-evaluation, only 72 (9.44%) attended for re-evaluation and got the final diagnosis. Among re-evaluated patients, only 1 (1.38%) was diagnosed with oral SCC, whereas 56 (77.77%) were diagnosed with oral benign lesions, and 19 (26.38%) were diagnosed with oral normality variations.

Conclusion
Oral cancer low diagnosis rate detected during this campaign might be attributed to lacks on oral cancer prevention campaign methodologies, which clearly needs to be improved aiming to reach patients in real risk for oral cancer development. Furthermore, oral benign lesions diagnosis among patients forwarded with suspicious lesions rates suggests a lack on dental surgeons’ knowledge regarding oral cancer.

Published: February 2016

ABSTRACTAimTo evaluate the prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and its relationship with dental caries in school children of Udupi district.Materials and methodsA total of 352 school children were recruited for this study. The European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD) 2003, criteria were followed for diagnosis of MIH. Dental caries was recorded using World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines (1997) under natural day light.ResultsThe prevalence of MIH was seen to be 27% (n = 95). A total of 323 teeth had hypomineralization (106 were incisors and 217 were molars). The lower molars (n = 127) were more frequently affected than the upper molars (n = 90). Overall the maxillary incisors (n = 68) were more affected than the mandibular incisors (n = 38). Amongst the children with MIH, the mean number of decayed teeth was significantly lower than mean number of hypomineralized teeth in first permanent molars and first permanent molars and incisors (p < 0.001 and < 0.001) respectively. The mean decayed teeth in first permanent molar and incisors were significantly higher in subjects with MIH than without MIH (p < 0.001). Poisson regression analysis showed a significant positive association between MIH and dental caries (B = 1.43; p < 0.001).ConclusionThe prevalence of MIH was relatively high and was associated with dental caries.How to cite this articleTadikonda AN, Acharya S, Pentapati KC.

Agent-based Modeling for Decision Making in Economics under Uncertainty
Authors: Vermeulen Ben , Pyka Andreas 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Ever since the emergence of economics as a distinct scientific discipline, policy makers have turned to economic models to guide policy interventions. If policy makers seek to enhance growth of an open capitalist economy, they have to take into account, firstly, the uncertainties, inefficiencies, and market failures faced by the agents in the economy, and, secondly, the activities, network structure, and interactions in the innovation and production system. The authors discuss ins-and-outs of developing and using (encompassing and empirically calibrated) agent-based models for (i) abductive theorizing about causes for empirical realities, and (ii) evaluating effects of policy interventions. To ensure that derived policies are suitable to intervene in the real world and not just the stylization of it, they discuss validity and operationalization of agent-based models as well as interpretation of simulation results.
The Imagery of Emptiness in the Poetry of Wang Wei (王維 699–761)
Authors: Stepien Rafal 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
This article explores the ways in which the imagery at work within the poetry of Wang Wei (王維 699–761) expresses Mahāyāna Buddhist notions of emptiness. I initially provide an overview of the Buddhist philosophical heritage from which Wang Wei drew inspiration and then describe the relationship between poetry and Chan Buddhism in Tang dynasty literary circles, thereby introducing the religious and literary milieus from which Wang Wei's poetic impulse sprang. Finally, I offer a reading of Wang Wei's poems, arguing that the Chan emphasis on a transmission outside explicit teachings led Wang Wei to eschew the exposition of doctrine in favor of a poetry that, in its simplicity and silence, embodies the very absence of the poet himself. I address this article not primarily to specialists of Chinese literature but to those interested in the interplay of literature, religion, and philosophy generally, as Wang Wei offers an enthralling instance of the attempt to meld the literary and the religio-philosophical impulses in poetic form. In formulating my argument, I draw upon Western literary and phenomenological theorists in a bid to partially enact an integration of methodologies akin to the fusion of referents so subtly embodied in the imagery of Wang Wei.
Guilt and Original Sin
Authors: Hamilton Christopher 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
The aim of the article is to suggest that there are two key ways in which it might be plausible to suppose that human beings are fallen or tainted by original sin even if one rejects Christian belief. The first I develop by reflection on the innocence of animals and human infants, contrasting their condition with that of adult human beings. I go on to suggest that we adult human beings are self-thwarting creatures, necessarily unable to enter, as Kafka has it, into a fullness of life. The second I develop by reflection on certain examples that suggest that there are reasons to believe that human beings are polluted, invoking thereby a moral notion that may seem ancient or defunct but that, I suggest, underlies some crucial aspects of our moral self-understanding.
Reframing Family:
Authors: Wilkie-Stibbs Christine 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
This article draws upon photographic and narrative theories. Through close textual reading, I decode British Booker Prize–winning Penelope Lively's novel Family Album (2009) as a montage of verbal snapshots framing two generations of family life through the culturally institutionalized familial gaze—as seen through the “camera-eye.” Benjamin's “unconscious optics” uncover Family Album as a narrative of generational resistance and disquiet irreducible to myths of family depicted in the “album's” iconic images. I argue that this novel marks a significant development in Lively's creative imagination, and narrative structure more widely, in its ability to materialize personal memory via the use of verbal images as a narrative device.
The Rise of Cattle Cultures in Bronze Age Anatolia
Authors: Arbuckle Benjamin S. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACTBronze Age Anatolia is characterized by the emergence of an elite class situated at the apex of society, where they controlled enormous resources; wielded great authority; and sought, conspicuously displayed, and consumed distinctive high-status material culture. In this article, I explore the use of domesticated cattle as a material and symbolic source of power for these elites. I address the central economic role of cattle and their “secondary products” in supporting Bronze Age agricultural systems and as sources of elite wealth. I also discuss the symbolic role of cattle in gift exchange, iconography, ritual, and display for creating narratives of power in which elites are situated in an elevated place within in a hierarchical cosmos.
The Superman on the Spectrum Shaw's Autistic Characters and the Neurodiversity Movement
Authors: Loftis Sonya Freeman 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT:
As the autistic community searches for historical identity, it is surprising to notice that Bernard Shaw appears on almost every list of famous figures associated with the autism spectrum. The neurodiversity movement's surprising appropriation of Shaw and his characters may seem superficially beneficial to public perceptions about autism and Asperger's syndrome. However, proposing an autistic identity for his St. Joan and Henry Higgins, and possibly even the playwright himself, actually threatens to reaffirm damaging stereotypes of people on the spectrum, perpetuating the erroneous idea that all autistic people are geniuses and savants.
The “Plumber-Philosopher” Shaw's Discourse on Domestic Sanitation
Authors: McEwan Alice 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT:
This article examines Shaw's ideas on sanitation and health, in the context of personal experience of domestic plumbing and drainage problems at his country home Shaw's Corner, in Hertfordshire. Inspired by the ideals of Victorian sanitarians, his views draw comparisons with twentieth-century modernist architects who celebrated new technologies controlling water and waste; yet in reality he became disillusioned owing to unwanted drips, leaks, noises, and smells. Shaw's representations of plumbing and drainage in his prefaces, plays, and other writings include the use of mechanistic metaphors and satire to highlight these defects, offering commentary on the failings of health management in modern capitalist society.
The Spiritual Shaw
Authors: Tunney Jay R. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT:
While vacationing with the Shaws on Brioni Island in the spring of 1929, boxing champion Gene Tunney's new bride Polly suddenly developed acute appendicitis; as they were far from professional medical help, her condition was gravely serious. Sitting alongside Tunney as he desperately prayed for Polly's recovery, Bernard Shaw, a professed atheist, was profoundly moved not only by his friend's faith but also by witnessing those prayers inexplicably and miraculously answered. Shaw's subsequent recollection of those events reveals that he respected prayer and that it broadened his definition of the human spirit. The experience also deepened the close friendship between the two men.
A Response to Sylvia Nannyonga-Tamusuza and Andrew N. Weintraub’s “The Audible Future: Reimagining the Role of Sound Archives and Sound Repatriation in Uganda”

Published: February 2016

Abstract
In the article “The Audible Future: Reimagining the Role of Sound Archives and Sound Repatriation in Uganda,” (Ethnomusicology 56/2) Sylvia Nannyonga-Tamusuza and Andrew Weintraub appear to be taking Klaus Wachsmann to task for the apparent cavalier treatment of one of his first informants and moreover for a lack of consideration of the needs and rights of the people of Uganda in relation to the 1500+ sound recordings he made during his many years of work there. It is unfortunate that the quotation used to set the tone for the discussion
