ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal status of teeth indicated for undergoing endodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and nine teeth were evaluated using probing depth tests at three vestibular and three palatine/lingual sites before the patients underwent treatment. Teeth that presented up to 3-mm probing depth were considered as healthy. Those that presented at least one site with probing depth >3 mm were considered periodontally compromised. The data were statistically analyzed by means of applying the Chi-square test, with a level of significance of 5%. Results: Of the total of 209 teeth evaluated, 40 (19.10%) presented periodontal compromise. There was statistically significant difference related to the compromised teeth of patients of the female gender (22.80%) compared with teeth of patients of the male gender (12.30%) (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Fewer than 20% of the teeth evaluated presented a periodontal compromise. Patients of the female gender presented a higher number of periodontally compromised teeth than patients of the male gender.

The Indian Banking Industry has undergone radical changes due to liberalization and globalization measures undertaken since 1991. Today, Indian Banking Industry is one of the largest in world. There has been a great surge in efficient customer services. A highly satisfied and delighted customer is a very vital nonfinancial asset for the banks in the emerging IT era. The curtsey, accuracy & speed are like a crown factors for a bank. Based on the responses of 768 customers of public sector bank, Indian Private Sector Bank & Foreign Bank (each one from these groups) operating in Amritsar district of Punjab and in case of fully E-bank, (three banks, one from each bank group) have been taken into consideration. It may be inferred that there is significant difference among three bank groups with regard to the time customers have to spend to transact a business. The E-banks are more efficient in regard to time factor. This is the very important factor of shifting of potential customers in E-banks. The survey was conducted in Amritsar district of Punjab in the month of September 2007. Chi-Square test is used to check the level of significance difference among various bank groups and coefficient of contingency among various bank group customers’ responses is also calculated.

It is recommended that patients with Parkinsons disease (PD) perform physical exercise throughout their lives. Exercise should slow disease progression and motivate the patient. Objective: Verify and compare the motivation of elderly with PD submitted to functional training, stationary bicycle exercise and exergame. Method: A randomized clinical trial was developed at a referral center. Group 1 (G1) performed functional training, group 2 (G2) trained with stationary bicycle and group 3 (G3) played on Xbox 360 with Kinect sensor. At the end of training, an interview was conducted by a single non-blind investigator to evaluate patient motivation about therapeutic exercise programs they were submitted to. For each question there were four answers options: I was not motivated, I was not very motivated, I was motivated and I was very motivated. The variables were summarized in median and interquartile range and in absolute and relative frequencies. The Pearson Chi-square test was used for statistical inference. The level of significance was 5% (p <0.05). Fifty-three older people with PD have participated. Results: Many participants have reported that exercise (G1: 72%, G2: 53%, G3: 44%) and the physiotherapist (G1: 83%, G2: 76%, G3: 94%) were very motivating. Only two participants of G2 rated exercise as not very motivating. However, no significant difference was found between the three groups. Conclusion: Older individuals with PD considered functional training, bicycle exercise and exergame as motivating modalities of physical exercise.

ABSTRACT Objective To compare the efficacy of gutta-percha removal achieved with simple mechanical technique using two different solvents. Materials and methods It was an in vitro experimental study conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan on 27 extracted human molars divided into two groups by alternate sampling technique. The teeth were prepared by manual filing and obturated with gutta-percha and calcium hydroxide sealer. Two drops of the assigned solvent were placed on the orifice of the obturated canal and Gates Glidden drills #1, 2 and 3 were used for removal of coronal gutta-percha. Manual filing was done for removal of remaining gutta-percha and the solvent was used in drops until needed. Postoperative periapical radiographs were taken to visualize the remaining gutta-percha left in the canals. Descriptive statistics (mean and SD) of the variables such as tooth type, obturation length and canal curvatures were determined. Chi-square and independent sample t-tests were applied and level of significance was set at 0.05. Results There was 5.19 (3.8) mm of remaining gutta-percha in the orange oil group and 5.37 (4.2) mm in the chloroform group (p = 0.90). Conclusion There is no statistically significant difference between the orange oil and chloroform when used as solvent for removing gutta-percha. How to cite this article Rehman K, Khan FR, Aman N.
