Wisdom Teeth

Surgery for removal of wisdom teeth requires bone cutting under a constant stream of saline to cool the site of surgery. Any interruption in irrigation may predispose to thermal necrosis of bone which delays healing. A gravity-assisted saline irrigation system is easily fabricated from a sterile intravenous drip-set. Economics, availability, ease of use and sterility are its advantages as compared to expensive electromechanical saline dispenser pumps. The system also permits the surgeon's assistant to concentrate on other tasks during the operation.

Study objective Open traumatic wounds present to US emergency departments at a rate of approximately 12 million per year. Tap water wound irrigation usage has not been adopted by providers thus negating a potential cost saving of approximately US$65,600,000 per year when compared to saline irrigation. A novel tap water wound irrigation device can reduce bacterial counts in rats inoculated with MRSA as effectively as a commonly used sterile saline wound irrigation system. Methods Two groups of six Sprague–Dawley rats were used for this study. Two 3 cm incisions were made into the dorsum of each Sprague–Dawley rat and each incision was inoculated with 100 µl of MRSA. One wound served as the control, the other wound was either irrigated with the sterile saline wound irrigation system or a novel tap water wound irrigation device. The wounds were homogenized, plated, and bacterial colonies were enumerated to determine the final concentration of bacteria in each wound. Results There was no significant statistical difference in the reduction of MRSA in wounds treated with the sterile saline system relative to wounds treated with tap water (one-way ANOVA with post hoc Dunnet's test). Conclusion The novel tap water wound irrigation device is as effective as the sterile saline wound irrigation device at reducing bacterial counts in a rat laceration model when compared to non-irrigated controls. Adopting the use of a convenient, effective, and inexpensive wound irrigation system using tap water could help save the health care system millions of dollars in direct costs, shipping cost, and would not be affected by saline shortages.

Our study evaluated changes in nutritional content of leafy vegetables at harvest and during postharvest in response to nutrient solutions of increasing salinity using a recirculating ebb and flow irrigation system within a controlled environment (CE). Two antioxidants, ascorbic acid (AsA) and total phenolics (TP), were used as proxies for nutrition as determined by the 2,6-dichloroindolphenol titrimetric and the Folin-Ciocalteu methods, respectively. Two arugulas, Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC cv. Sylvetta and Eruca sativa (P. Mill.) Thell. cv. Astro, and a garden cress, Lepidium sativum L. cv. Presto, were grown with five salinity levels ranging from 1.5 to 9.5 dS·m−1 electrical conductivity (EC) during two trials. We observed no difference in TP at harvest in response to salinity treatments in Trial 1 for all species collectively evaluated; however, during Trial 2, the TP at harvest responded to salinity treatments. In contrast, we observed a response in AsA at harvest to salinity treatments during both trials. The response of both TP and AsA to treatments was characterized by variability, both increases and decreases, when contrasting species and trials. We concluded that the variability in the nutritional content of the specific crucifers evaluated might reflect both individual species responses and the modest CE microclimate changes we recorded between trials. In addition, our research suggests that salinity levels greater that an EC of 9.5 dS·m−1 may be required to define the salinity tolerance of these specific crucifers within a CE.

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of inclusion of lower and upper third molar in the population of Mures county. Materials and Methods: For this study, we examined the orthopantomograms (OPGs) of 243 patients (including 138 women and 105 men, aged 19-57 years old) who had impacted third molars and who presented to three Orthodontic Clinics in Tîrgu Mureș between 2015-2017. All impacted third molars were taken into consideration but which at the same time presented fully developed roots. We excluded from the study patients with pathological condition or craniofacial syndromes such as cleidocranial dysostosis and Down syndrome. Results: In both women and men, the most common cases were of one impacted molar (61,72%), then two (27,16%) and three (11,12%) impacted molars. Based on the evaluation of all radiographs, 363 impacted teeth were observed, with a higher proportion in women (54,27%) compared to men (45,73%). With regard to the location of the impacted teeth in the mandible or the maxilla, in both female and male patients, the incidence of mandibular impactions was higher (62,25%) than in the maxilla (37,75%). Regarding the link between the position on the arch (right and left side) and the localization of the impacted teeth, in female patients we can assert that while the mandible had the largest number of impacted teeth on the right side (69,35%), the impacted teeth in the maxilla were more numerous on the left side (60,27%) (p=0,00004). In male patients, regardless of whether the impactions were in the mandible or in the maxilla, they were more frequent on the right side (70,58% in mandible and 76,56% in maxilla) than on the left one. Conclusions 1. The incidence of impacted wisdom teeth is higher in females compared to males. 2. Impacted wisdom teeth are more common on lower arch than on upper arch. 3. In female patients, the prevalence of impaction is higher on the right side in the mandible and on the left side in the maxilla 4. In male patients, the prevalence of impaction on the right side is higher in both mandible and maxilla

This investigation of both of irrigation system, water restriction and soil conditioners on Morengaoleifera, (surface drip irrigation, D, buried drip, BD and mini-sprinkler, MS), as well for irrigating a magic crop like Morenga (Morengaoleifera) plants. Also, this work includes different irrigation water restriction which represent two three treatments (100, 80 and 60% of calculated applied water, W1, W2 and W3 respectivly), more over threes soil conditioners (Compost, C, Farm manure, FM, Mud, M). The experiment was carried out inShalatien where it lies in the east-west of the Red sea in Egypt. Surface evaporation in this area has a paramount importance because of its aridity hot climate under the circumstances of saline irrigation water usage. The objective of the present work is to study the influences of irrigation system, water restrictions and soil conditioners onmorphological and chemical characterizes of Moringa, for that,the following measurements are taken Trunk Diameter, Pods Tree Quantity, Seeds Yields (g) per tree, Weight per 1000 seeds (g), oil yields per tree (g), oil Yields per/ Acer (kg), chlorophyll A- B, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, Total carbohydrates, vitamin C,Nitrogen, Calcium, Fe and zinc content of Moringaoleifera plants in addition to Water use efficiency, cost analysis, energy analysis in two studied seasons, (2017-2018/2018-2019). Results show that the most positive influence of irrigation is buried irrigation, drip irrigation and mini-sprinkler respectively, due to the saved water from losses by evaporation under drought conditions. And the most positive influence of water restrictions treatments is 100, 80 and 60% respectively, but the in many measurements the differences between both of 100 and 80% of applied water is not significant, so its more economical to approve 80% of applied water under buried drip irrigation, which means about 20% of applied water can be save.
