Biocompatible ceramic structures are used to replace missing teeth, tooth structure lost to disease or trauma, and un-aesthetic healthy, tooth enamel. Recreating aesthetics and function are the two practical goals of such restorative treatment. However, the failure rate of ceramic prostheses is relatively high due to their inherent brittleness. A primary reason to premature failure of ceramic prostheses is surface and subsurface damage induced in dental intraoral finishing using dental handpieces and abrasive burs. In this paper, finite element analysis (FEA) was applied to predict quantitatively finishing-induced stress fields and subsurface damage depths in dental porcelain surfaces using fine grit diamond burs. The results indicate that while finishing using fine diamond burs diminished subsurface damage, damage depths of smaller than 20 m remained depending on the bur depth of cut and feed rate. In the FEA modeling, the minimum damage was obtained under very fine finishing conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary identity politics, politics based on affiliation with a particular societal group in contradistinction from one or more others, typically becomes galvanized in response to a sense that those so affiliated have been marginalized or harmed. Art and aesthetic gestures utilized in contexts of identity politics serve a number of roles, among them drawing attention to the marginalization or harm to specific groups, consolidating those who share a particular political identity, and promoting empathy for members of such groups’ members. Another aesthetic strategy frequently utilized in efforts to promote social justice toward particular groups is the use of cumulative aesthetics, in which the amassing of instances is used to achieve an impact. Because so often aimed at rectifying arrangements that are perceived as unjust, groups that advocate on behalf of those who share their political identity tend to be energized in reaction to circumstances. There is a danger of their becoming too simplistic in their own perceptions, dividing the world into friends and enemies. The “Me Too” movement in the United States is taken as an example of a well-intended campaign that can encourage oversimplified analyses that potentially damage its effectiveness in achieving its own ends. This is particularly ironic because simplistic binaries are often at work in what causes marginalization or harm to such groups in the first place. Aesthetics can be utilized to inflame binary oppositions. It can also complicate perspectives in ways that lead to a lessening of reactive political responses and greater rapport across the boundaries separating one group from another. This can happen, for example, when art heightens perception but resists the danger of reinforcing preestablished binaries. Such art has the potential to assist efforts toward social justice by enabling greater sensitivity toward members of groups one does not consider one’s “own”. The Zhuangzi is taken as an example of a work that might do this, despite the apolitical concerns of its author.

Due to their benefits, including immediate aesthetics, minimum invasion, cost effectiveness, adhesion to tooth structure, and chair side treatment options, direct anterior composite restorative procedures have been very popular in recent years. The most frequent reason for tissue loss in the aesthetic zone of the dentition is a severe damage to the dental hard tissue. The aesthetic restoration of maxillary central incisors with cracked incisal edges is difficult, difficult, and technique-sensitive. Success depends on the knowledge and abilities of the operator. It's crucial that the different hues are positioned with the appropriate thickness in addition to accurately recreating the anatomy. This case study demonstrates how to replicate the palatal structure of teeth that require aesthetic restoration using a putty index technique.

This article aim to show the aesthetics and ethics values whose relation traces could be found in theological text studies. We use bibliographic review as methodology to this research. Considering these elements and how it was found we ask: how can we validate such elements to understand the theological text? When we are analyzing ethics behaviors can we consider the found results as intrinsic values in such discoveries and can it be compared in different times, in other words, it is available if we bring it out to our time without prejudice considering criteria. We know values and beliefs can change according different times, but the main question that translates our doubt is: how can we consider the ethical and aesthetical values described in different times avoiding damage then to be impartial in the research? In spite of lots of doubts rose, what can support on our research reading are historic and current images we can validate as support line to comparative analysis considering ethics and aesthetics values found. This text will be presented as communication in this event.Key Words: Methodology. Ethics and research. Aesthetics and research. Theological methodology.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of work is a study of worked out fields, under development and explored deposits of minerals for the purpose eco-aesthetics.The basis of eco-aesthetics is the principle of utility (utility, expediency) and beauty (aesthetics).The criteria for assessing the eco-aesthetics of geological objects are economic, environmental and aesthetic characteristics. Developed deposits cause irreparable damage to the geological environment and the entire ecosystem. Extraction from the bowels of the earth of minerals violates the geochemical systems on many decades and centuries, and on occasion changes the landscape of locality. Developed deposits can be economically profitable, ecologically clean and esthetically attractive due to development to the aesthetic and historical aspects. An example is the Wieliczka mine in Poland, where business, ecology and aesthetics are harmoniously combined. A number of the largest worked out fields and developed fields in Ukraine are in extremely need of the development of this issue. Developed iron ore deposits are one of the important factors of industrial potential of Ukraine. Semiprecious stone material, jaspilite, is the aesthetic aspect of these fields. They have colossal reserves. Using their decorative properties, we have developed the laws of shaping for the design of natural stone, identified the main areas of application of jaspilites in decorative art. Implementation of the idea of creating a Jespilite room will allow Krivbas not only industrial, but also cultural and educational center. The achieved results will qualitatively improve the eco conditions for the local population, the development of stone carving art and will lead to business growth. The explored deposits of spodumene pegmatites in the Western sea of Azov in addition to lithium mineralization contain expansive fields of graphic microcline pegmatites, spodumene and albitic pegmatites. They contain samples of pink spodumene (kunzite), petalite from light green to pink, tourmaline (sherl). Thus, this deposits of spodumene pegmatites in Western Azov today require a comprehensive assessment of minerals, because in addition to ore mineralization there is also a gemstone-colored raw material.

The intermaxillary relations refer to the position of the mandible in relation to the maxilla in the vertical and horizontal planes, being the occlusion vertical dimension (OVD) and the centric relation (CR) essential in the treatment with complete dentures. This article reports a case of reestablishing intermaxillary relations with conventional complete dentures (CCD).A 82-year-old male patient sought care to replace his complete dentures due to dissatisfaction with the aesthetics and chewing function. After anamnesis and extra and intraoral exams, it was found that the current complete dentures showed large wear of the teeth, causing decreased OVD, aesthetic, and masticatory damage. The edges had satisfactory conditions for CCD rehabilitation. From the anatomical impressions of edges were obtained study models for making individual trays, later used for functional impression and obtaining the working models, on which were made wax plans. After adjustment of the upper wax plane and registration of the facial arch, the upper model was mounted on the semi-adjustable articulator. For the determination of the OVD, metric, physiological, aesthetic, and phonetic methods were used, and for the determination of CR, manipulation and physiological methods were used. The inferior model was assembled after determination of intermaxillary relations. Teeth were selected and mounted. In the aesthetic and functional testing of the teeth, occlusion, OVD, and esthetics were restored. The dentures were polymerized and installed. In proservations, the patient reported improvement in chewing, aesthetics, and phonetic. It was concluded that the reestablishment of intermaxillary relations contributed to aesthetic, masticatory, and phonetic rehabilitation.

Full textAbstract:
How can cultural works from the distant past –such as the Middle Ages—teach us ethical modes of behavior for today? One form of ecopoetics emerges through slow practice, making the reader collaborate in the measured process of co-creating the emotional impact of an imaginative text. Drawing on rich debates about slow cinema, this essay suggests how Chaucer’s The Clerk’s Tale—from his grand fourteenth-century poem, The Canterbury Tales—evokes a slow eco-aesthetics with ethical impact. The relative slowness of walking shapes how individuals respond to their environment. In turn, a deceleration of perception affects how travel comes to be written about, as seen in the tale of Patient Griselda. Introduced by Giovanni Boccaccio and adapted by such writers as Francesco Petrarch, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Christine de Pizan, she acts dynamically through her apparent silence and notorious patience. The environmental humanities offer paradigms for us to consider the strategies of slowness and patience. This essay shows how medieval pilgrimage literature evokes a slow aesthetic which is at the same time an ecocritical strategy. Slowness results in an enduring impact and heightened sensitivity to the ecological damage for which we all are culpable. Slower somatically inculcates key aspects of environmental awareness. Pilgrimage texts from the Middle Ages teach us slow ethical aesthetics, suggesting that the medieval moment—finally and a long time coming— is now.

A random survey of two Norfolk, VA residential neighborhoods (N=132) revealed citizen attitudes toward the orangestriped oakworm, Anisota senatoria. The majority of citizens surveyed (98.5%) considered A. senatoria a serious problem, experienced greaterthan 50% defoliation (56%), and were willing to tolerate some damage (70%). Chi-square analysis showed the greater the damage, the less tolerant citizens were to A. senatoria infestation (P<0.0001). The physical presence of A. senatoria, as measured by frass and larvae on property, was the primary citizen complaint and defoliation effects were considered as minor. Citizens were willing to pay for professional A. senatonacontrol. Many (43.5%) felt municipal control was ineffective because of poor timing of treatments. They felt that trees (35%) and the lawn (34%) were aesthetically the most important components in the landscape. Most citizens (80%) were willing to pay for natural control, and some (38.5%) felt that pesticides were unsafe. The attitudes toward A. senatoria provided a framework for designing an urban pest management program.

Natural dye is one of the solutions to alleviate environmental damage caused by the textile industry. Existing synthetic dyes have been proven to adversely affect the environment and human. Hence, revisiting natural dyes becomes a correct decision to alleviate existing environmental problems. Eco-print is one of the natural dyeing methods done by using plants typically found in the surroundings. This method has become the subject of various developments, both in its mordanting and making processes. Its visual aesthetics should also receive attention to avoid stagnation. Further development and innovation are necessary. The purpose of this study was to develop the visual aesthetic aspect of the eco-print method. It particularly focused on developing the design and production technique in terms of concepts, materials, and working techniques. This work also adopted a screen printing technique to enrich the motifs and colors. The method utilized in this research was art-based research with the premise of adapting artistic creativity to social research using an artistic practice approach because both are holistic and dynamic. The result showed that eco-print and screen printing methods could be combined, as the latter significantly enhance the eco-print product’s visual aesthetics. However, the result of this combination exhibited poor color fastness, implying the need for further study.

Background: Dental trauma is one of the oral health problems with high incidences among children and adolescents. According to WHO, 1 billion people have a history of dental trauma, with a prevalence of around 20% for children up to 12 years old. Lateral luxation is the type of displacement injury in permanent teeth with the highest prevalence. Improper treatment can result in pulp necrosis, damage to periodontal tissue, tooth mobility, aesthetic problems, occlusal interference, and moreover tooth loss. Purpose: Discuss the management of lateral luxation in immature permanent tooth. Case: A 5-year-old boy came with a dislocated upper front tooth after accidentally falling. The tooth displaced further back, causing pain, bleeding, discomfort, difficulties in eating, and occlusal interference. Case Management: Digital pressure under local anesthesia was used to reposition the luxated tooth, which was then stabilized with splinting using orthodontic brackets and monitored regularly. The treatment result showed no tooth mobility, root development, corrected occlusion, function, and aesthetics. Conclusion: Management of lateral luxation in immature permanent teeth using digitation repositioned and splinting is recommended to prevent pulp and periodontal pathology. This method provides fast procedures, good aesthetics, function, and patient comfort. However long-term observation is required to confirm the success rate.

The article is devoted to the work of Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur "Baburname". In this work Babur gives detailed information about his origin, about wars, about the great empire he founded in India. Although there are many names of people and places in the work of "Boburnoma", but they are considered interesting and easy to read. Being a statesman, Babur, as a naturalist and a scientisttourist, so carefully observed and covered phenomena-processes that many of them fully correspond to the conclusions of modern science. The work also contains sufficient information about the nature, appearance, benefits and damage of rivers, mountains, deserts, villages, cities, field steppes, through which Babur wandered. Babur's legacy is a reality that leads our history into the future. That is probably why the work of this thinker is still deeply studied by Orientalists.A clear proof of this is the fact that in 1980 UNESCO announced a competition for a new translation into French.

Objective: The reconstruction of a large palmar soft tissue defect is a challenge to restore both aesthetics and functionality. Reconstruction with fascio-cutaneous and fascial flaps are the most widely used in the literature, few cases are reported using muscular free flap. We report our experience with the use of the free gracilis muscle flap for palmar soft tissue reconstruction in patients with complex hand traumas. Methods: We review nine cases of complex soft tissue reconstruction to the palm of the hand using the free gracilis muscle flap performed over a period of 20 years. Eight cases involved acute trauma with damage to underlying structures, necessitating multiple surgical procedures. Results: With an average follow-up of 36 months, the free gracilis muscle flap reconstruction enabled patients to achieve good grip, with skin quality resistant to chronic mechanical stress. All patients recovered a protective sensation to deep pressure. The hand’s aesthetic appearance was restored in all cases. Flap harvesting altered neither the function nor silhouette of the donor site. Conclusion: The optimal palmar reconstruction technique depends on patient characteristics, associated trauma, and defect size. In our opinion, the gracilis muscle flap technique is both straightforward and effective in restoring mechanical function of the hand, particularly when a large area of the palm has been impacted.

Introduction: Anterior teeth require special attention in terms of aesthetics. Complex aesthetic treatment becomes the main choice in cases of anterior teeth with more than one caries, deformities, malposition and in needs of root canal treatment. Case: A 49-year-old female patient complained of broken upper right and left front teeth due to impact. Objective examination found that the lingual margins of teeth 11, 12 and 13 appeared reddish and bled easily, composite fillings with secondary caries at 21 dentin depths and 22 pulp depths, chipping at 11, 12 and 22. Percussion of tooth 22 (+), pressure test (-) and CE (+). Case Treatment: One visit root canal treatment in 22, direct composite veneer in 11, 21, 22 and composite restoration in 12. Discussions: Complex aesthetic treatment involves more than one anterior tooth that requires root canal treatment as well as correction of shape and position. Determination of shape, tooth proportion, color, position dimension, inclination, smile position and lip line, relationship between teeth, relationship of facial midline to lip midline are required in complex aesthetic treatment. Composite resin is chosen as a restorative material due to aesthetic considerations, faster procedure, low cost, does not take much of healthy tooth structure, easy to be repaired when there is damage and does not damage the opposing teeth. The use of palatal putty index can increase the efficiency of the work and maximize the final result. Conclusion and Suggestions: Complex aesthetic treatment using direct composite veneer is a fast, low-cost treatment option that can provide good aesthetic results in cases of four malformed and malpositioned upper anterior teeth.

Full textAbstract:
Through field observation, this article attempts to discuss the ways in which art education can be integrated into students in higher vocational colleges. Starting from the dual roles of art education, combined with the characteristics of students in higher vocational colleges, we find the connection between the two, and through the expansion of the connection, we find that the dilemma faced by students is the fragmentation of the knowledge system and the weak practicality of hands-on ability. Therefore, systematic learning and practical operation can solve the educational problems faced by students before, and make important contributions to students' smooth study of art education, smooth cultivation of aesthetics, and smooth construction of a systematic education system. All in all, art education plays an irreplaceable and important role in human development and social progress. Plato even had such a view: art should become the basis of education. It can be said that not paying attention to moral education will damage the moral standards of a generation; not paying attention to intellectual education will damage the cognitive level of a generation; not paying attention to sports will damage the physical health of a generation; not paying attention to art education will damage the physical health of a generation. What is damaged is the spiritual world of a generation, and what is damaged is the spirit, imagination and creativity of a nation.

Full textAbstract:
Aim of the study: This study seeks to evaluate the detrimental effects of acidic beverages on tooth structure and overall dental health, with a particular focus on comparing the extent of damage at a microscopic level. While it is widely understood that acidic drinks are harmful to teeth, the precise scale of the damage is often underestimated. By examining the degree of harm caused by prolonged exposure to acidic substances, this research aims to increase awareness of the cumulative effects that sugary and acidic beverages have on dental health and aesthetics over time. Materials and methods: The teeth used in this study were obtained from private practice, from patients diagnosed with Stage 3 or 4 periodontitis. These teeth were deemed unsuitable for prosthetic treatment due to excessive clinical attachment loss (CAL) or advanced tooth mobility (grade 2 or 3). Following extraction, the teeth were preserved in artificial saliva for a maximum of 20 days.The experiment involved a sample of 30 teeth, each of which was submerged in a different beverage for a duration of 24 hours The beverages used in this study were Sprite, lime juice, apple vinegar, and white wine. Following the 24-hour exposure, the teeth were documented, and photographs were taken. The enamel surface of the teeth was then analyzed under a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to examine the extent of acid-induced damage in detail. Additionally, the density of the two halves of each tooth was compared using a Diagnodent pen (KaVo) to further assess the impact of the acidic beverages. Results: The results of this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of enamel erosion caused by acidic beverages, offering valuable insights for both dental professionals and individuals aiming to protect their enamel from deterioration. Conclusions: In conclusion, the excessive and frequent consumption of acidic beverages results in irreversible enamel demineralization, leading to aesthetic concerns such as white spots, discoloration, surface roughness, and an increased risk of tooth sensitivity or loss. Additionally, the method of consumption—particularly the tendency to a prolonged the contact between these beverages and the dental structure—exacerbates the potential for damage. To minimize these effects, it is imperative to reduce both the frequency of acidic drink intake and the duration of their contact with the teeth. Effective management of acidic beverage consumption is essential for preserving oral health and maintaining dental aesthetics.

Many people nowadays undergo treatments to improve their aesthetics, often neglecting the general state of health. Aesthetics and appearance have become of prime importance, perhaps correlating with of the advent of social networks and digital photographs. One of the most requested aesthetic treatments for dentists is dental bleaching through the use of whitening gels. Dental bleaching is a treatment which involves an improvement in the chrome of the teeth in a short time, and this treatment appears not invasive for the patients. In-office and at-home bleaching treatments can be found. The purpose of this scientific study is to evaluate all of the advantages and disadvantages of this medical treatment. In this study, were report information and items related to bleaching side effects. Dentists often find themselves in disagreement on this topic. The PICO (Population/Intervention/Comparison/Outcome) question investigated was: Are dental patients who have dental bleaching an increased risk of teeth damage? All of the data in the literature has been collected, and all of the side effects of this treatment were evaluated. 263 studies emerged from initial research; only 14 were screened after screening, as they contained sufficient data to evaluate the side effects of treatment. One certain thing emerged; among the contraindications to the treatment of dental bleaching dentinal hypersensitivity could be cited. In fact, one of the most reported undesirable effects regards this problem. Other studies have evaluated pain, color improvement and duration, or patient satisfaction. Dental bleaching is a treatment that aims to improve the aesthetics of our patients; this is also reflected from a psychological point of view and therefore has effects on general health. However, the whitening treatment is not suitable for everyone and must be carefully evaluated by a specialist. This treatment also entails maintenance by the patient and therefore better compliance to normal oral hygiene procedures.

Copper and its alloys have a tendency to naturally corrode and form a blue green finish over them. This blue green finish has been observed in everyday copper and bronze utensils and even in famous sculptures like statue of liberty. Artists have long taken advantage of this patina to achieve aesthetic of desolateness, age, and damage. This patina tends to change the luster of the metal from reflective to matt and color from pink (gold in case of brass and bronze) to bright blue or green. Artists are known to use this change to add to visual language of their sculptures. The current paper takes in account the whole spectrum of blue – green patinas, from bright blue azurites to dull green verdigris and also dark green copper chloride salts. The paper discusses the chemistry behind the formation of this patina, tests age old recipes and discusses aesthetics with respect to famous Indian sculptors.

Abstract A 31-year-old male with a history of right zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture presented with aesthetic concerns, continuous tearing, and double vision. The patient had undergone multiple surgeries post accident, resulting in an asymmetrical cheek bulge, persistent diplopia, and epiphora. Investigations revealed abnormal placement of an orbital mesh and damage to the lacrimal sac. A surgical plan was devised to remove the plates, reposition the muscles, secure the floor, correct the epiphora, and provide the desired aesthetics. The surgery involved removal of the mesh and a long plate, refracturing of the zygoma, approximation and securing of the fractured zygoma with plates, and creation of an osteum on the lateral wall of the nose. Post-operatively, the patient’s healing was uneventful and he was satisfied with the outcome. This case underscores the importance of a proper surgical technique and patient-centered care in managing complex facial fractures.

One-component polyurethane coatings on galvanized sheet steel are widely used to suppress white rust of the car body. To fulfill the requirements of corrosion resistance and aesthetics, such coatings have to withstand sheet forming and assembling operations without being damaged. Damage - which in the wide sense encompasses pores, surface and interface microcracks - would mean an inacceptable reduction in corrosion resistance and aesthetics deterioration. Therefore, understanding of coating damage initiation due to sheet forming becomes a key issue for producers of coating materials and forming technologists. To study coating performance in a forming process, FE simulations can be employed. This requires, however, an appropriate constitutive model of the coating and accurately determined model parameters. The present work investigates a two-layer coil-coating system Coilprime C manufactured by the BASF Coatings AG. The system consists of a primer with a thickness of approximately 5 µm and an intercoat, which is about 20 µm thick, both being based on a polyurethane (PU) resin. Applicability of indentation for determination of mechanical properties of the intercoat is studied. The experiments were carried out with a Hysitron TriboindenterTM using a conospherical indenter. In the experiments, the intercoat exhibited viscoelastoplastic behaviour. In the FE simulations of the indentation test, the intercoat and the primer were assumed to be a single continuum with a constitutive behaviour described as a combination of hyperelasticity defined by the Arruda-Boyce strain energy potential and ideal plasticity defined by the rate-independent von Mises yield surface. The full deformation is modelled using a multiplicative split of the deformation gradient into hyperelastic and plastic components.

Full textAbstract:
Robust dental systems obtained by computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) have been introduced and, in parallel, the strength of the ceramic materials used in fabricating dental crowns has improved. Yet all-ceramic crowns suffer from near-surface damage, limiting their clinical success, especially on posterior teeth. Factors directly associated with CAD/CAM fabrication that contribute to the degree of damage include material selection and machining parameters and strategies. However, a number of additional factors also either create new damage modes or exacerbate subcritical damage, potentially leading to catastrophic failure of the crown. Such factors include post-fabrication manipulations in the laboratory or by the clinician, fatigue associated with natural occlusal function, and stress fields created by compliance or distortion within the supporting tooth structure and/or adhesive material holding the crown to the tooth. Any damage reduces the strength of a crown, increasing the probability of catastrophic failure. The challenge is to understand and manage the combination of competing damage initiation sites and mechanisms, limitations imposed by the demand for aesthetics, and biologically related constraints.

In the large-scale facilities, including on-site storage or shopping malls, floor plays an important role. It has to meet special requirements regarding mechanical properties, aesthetics and durability. Despite much effort, both in the design and execution phase, cases of damage of the floor happens, causing some specific consequences – often associated with restrictions on use. In such a situation it is required to perform rapid diagnosis and effective repair. One possibility foster this process is the use of advisory system which operates in terms of material and technological solutions. The article points out the limitations resulting from the use of advisory system related to situations of individual and unique damage. In the case of such damage it is necessary to implement research procedures and the use of advisory system turns out to be ineffective.

Skin aging involves a progressive decline in hydration, firmness, and regenerative capacity (1). The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical effects and elucidate the mechanism of action of a novel biostimulator formulation composed of fragmented hyaluronic acid, choline, and essential amino acids on key indicators of skin quality, including hydration, dermal firmness, and cellular regeneration. The study further seeks to position this formulation as a low-inflammatory alternative to conventional aesthetic treatments that rely on controlled tissue damage, contributing to the development of biocompatible, physiologically integrative approaches in regenerative aesthetics. This study seeks to establish new therapeutic frontiers in aesthetic medicine, where biocompatibility, physiological biostimulation, and preservation of the cellular environment become pillars of healthy and conscious aging. Twenty patients aged between 35 and 65 years were treated over a 12-week period. Skin firmness was measured using cutaneous elastometry. Subjective and biometric evaluations were conducted. A 28% improvement in skin firmness was observed through elastometry (p<0.05). Patients reported significant improvements in hydration, tone, and luminosity. Biostimulatory solution for facial rejuvenation has illustrated the effect on physiological changes that mitigate facial aging.

Full textAbstract:
The restoration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) remains a significant challenge in modern dentistry. These teeth often suffer from substantial structural damage due to both the original pathology and the invasive nature of endodontic procedures. Consequently, ETT are more susceptible to fractures compared to vital teeth, necessitating restorative strategies that can effectively restore both function and aesthetics while minimizing the risk of failure. In recent years, advances in adhesive dentistry and the development of high-strength ceramics have further expanded the restorative options for ETT. Bonded restorations have gained popularity as they preserve more tooth structure and enhance the overall strenght of the tooth-restoration complex. The choice of restorative material and technique is influenced by numerous factors, including the amount of remaining tooth structure, the functional requirements of the tooth, and the aesthetic demands of the patient. Despite the plethora of available materials and techniques, the optimal approach to restoring ETT remains a topic of ongoing research and debate. In this comprehensive review, the current state of and recent advances in restoring damaged endodontically treated teeth are explored. Numerous therapeutic options exist, involving a wide range of materials. This article aims to present the biomaterial advancements of the past decade and their applications, offering alternative approaches to treating damaged ETT with the goal of prolonging their retention on the dental arch and serving as a valuable resource for dental practitioners who face this issue daily.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Highly performed nowadays, the pterional craniotomy (PC) has several widespread variants. However, these procedures are associated with complications such as temporalis muscle atrophy, facial nerve frontal branch damage, and masticatory difficulties. The postoperative cranial aesthetic is, nonetheless, the main setback according to patients. This review aims to map different pterional approaches focusing on final aesthetics. Methods: This review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Studies were classified through the Oxford method. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from January 1969 to February 2021 for cohorts and randomized clinical trials that met our inclusion criteria. Results: 1484 articles were initially retrieved from the databases. 1328 articles did not fit the inclusion criteria. 118 duplicates were found. 38 studies were found eligible for the established criteria. 27 (71.05%) were retrospective cohorts, with low evidence level. Only 5 (13.15%) clinical trials were found eligible to the criteria. The majority of the studies (36/38) had the 2B OXFORD evidence level. A limited number of studies addressed cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. The temporal muscle atrophy or temporal hollowing seems to be the patient’s main complaint. Only 17 (44.73%) studies addressed patient satisfaction regarding the aesthetics, and only 10 (26.31%) of the studies reported the cosmetic outcome as a primary outcome. Nevertheless, minimally invasive approaches appear to overcome most cosmetic complaints and should be performed whenever possible. Conclusion: There are several variants of the classic PC. The esthetic outcomes are poorly evaluated. The majority of the studies were low evidence articles.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Soft tissue trauma in Oral and Maxillofacial cases occurs quite often in the Emergency Room at Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung. Trauma that occurs to the facial area is very susceptible to causing problems, both aesthetic sensory and motor function problems in that area. The existence of important structures in the facial area, such as the parotid gland and the location of the Facial Nerve (N.VII) in the facial area, requires special attention in treating soft tissue trauma to the face. Emergency management aims to ensure appropriate action in treating wounds, preventing infection, and ensuring the presence or absence of gland damage, as well as involvement of N.VII damage. Management of soft tissue wounds in the facial area is carried out by suturing, pain management and administering antibiotics. Emergency management of soft tissue trauma must be carried out quickly and precisely to obtain maximum results and consider function and aesthetics. Case report: A 16 year old female came with complaints of bleeding from the face and ears due to a motorbike accident approximately 2 hours before entering the hospital. Physical examination revealed an asymmetrical face, a torn wound on the left cheek with the parotid gland exposed and otorrhea. The patient's intraoral examination was normal. Conclusion: In this paper we will report a case of trauma to the maxillofacial soft tissue with exposure of the parotid gland. It is hoped that this article will expand insight into how to examine damage to the parotid gland and examine the function of N.VII in soft tissue trauma to the facial area.

How the hate speech should be separated from the free speech and why the blasphemous laws should be banned to shield free thought and freedom of expression from any danger or damage? This article examines the argument that whether blasphemous art should be publicly displayed, and if yes, in what manner artist are free and to what extent they should be responsible while exercising their artistic freedom. The write-up argues against those who say blasphemy is an offence, an attack on religion and sacred, to aver that blasphemy shouldn’t be understood merely on the moral and ethical lines, but through the contextual and philosophical understandings of the issue. Particularly, this write-up criticizes the blasphemy laws, including fatwas and death threats issued against two writers--Salman Rushdie and Taslima Nasrin. Finally, this paper discusses how the notion of blasphemy itself is the product of misunderstanding and misreading the free speech as the hate speech. The article concludes that the line between aesthetics and ethics, between art and religion, should be drawn only by the rationalistic judgment of the contextual issues and for that artist’s intention should be realized at first, before colligating it with the religious matters, ethical issues and falsely apprehending freedom of thought as a sacrilege and profanation.

Full textAbstract:
Four test series consisting of 14 tests and 140 runs (each run lasted 400 s) were conducted in a wave flume with a sand beach and a berm in order to compare the effectiveness of a dune and a rock (stone) seawall placed on the foreshore in reducing wave overtopping and sand overwash. The incident irregular waves were kept approximately the same for all the runs. The water level was increased to create dune erosion and crest lowering as well as stone displacement. The dune was effective in eliminating or reducing wave overtopping and overwash in comparison to the corresponding berm with no dune but the narrow dune was destroyed easily as the water level was increased. The stone seawall reduced wave overtopping and overwash even after it was damaged moderately. A stone seawall buried inside a dune was examined in the last test series. The buried seawall functioned like the dune initially and like the seawall after the sand on the seawall was eroded by overtopping waves. The buried seawall combines the aesthetics of the dune and the robustness of the stone seawall.

Full textAbstract:
Woods that were placed outdoors were exposed to UV-induced photodegradation processes which damaged the lignin bonds in the wood resulting in the more susceptible woods against abrasion and weathering. This circumstance led to more finishing processes by applying paint to the wood surface carried out by industries and at the home level. Some finishing materials not only contribute to increasing the aesthetics of the wood surface but also increased the wood's resistance against harmful microorganisms. On the other hand, the resistance against pests did not increase as high as the resistance against outdoor weathering. In this study, pine woods and teak woods collected from the community forest were soaked in cold borax solution as a preservative agent before applying the paint to the wood surface. The treatments applied to the samples in this study were untreated control samples, preservative-treated samples, finishing-treated samples, and both preservative and finishing-treated samples. The results of this study showed that both teak and pine wood with preservative and finishing treatment were resistant to microbial damage (0% damage) after left 8 weeks of exposure in the outdoor area. However, there is a need to conduct further research with longer exposure time (1-2 years) to get more significant result differences between each treatment.

Full textAbstract:
The aims of the present study were to describe an impression method of "inner circular sealing area" and to evaluate the effect of the method on retention, aesthetics and comfort of complete dentures, which lack labial base for patients with maxillary protrusions. Three patients were subjected to the experiment, and two sets of complete maxillary dentures were made for each patient; the first set was made without labial base via an inner circular sealing area method (experimental group) and the second had an intact base that was made with conventional methods (control group). Retention force tests were implemented with a tensile strength assessment device to assess the retention and a visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the comfort between the two groups. Results showed larger retention force, better aesthetics and more comfort in the experimental group. The improved two-step impression method formed an inner circular sealing area that prevented damage to the peripheral border seal effect of the denture caused by incomplete bases and obtained better denture retention.

This study proposed a decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) approach for the analysis of public transportation (PT) sustainability factors in Pakistan. After briefly reviewing the related literature, the PT sustainability framework was constructed, and the DEMATEL-based multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDM) approach was developed. The proposed methodology was then applied to evaluate PT in the Twin Cities of Pakistan. The results were presented along with a sensitivity analysis involving six scenarios. The results highlighted the following: 1) Traffic congestion, infrastructure and aesthetics emerged as the most prominent factors for PT sustainability. 2) Air pollution, infrastructure, accident damage, affordability, and aesthetics were among the factors in the cause group. 3) Traffic congestion, accessibility, and human health impact were consistently in the effect group, emphasizing their secondary nature. Their resolution depended on tackling the problems in the cause group. 4) Although environmental factors such as air pollution emerged as the most significant causal factor, they were ranked lower in significance. Therefore, although resolving air pollution was key to improving PT sustainability, its importance was not perceived fully.

Full textAbstract:
The forehead, a vital anatomical unit of the face, is delimited by the anterior hairline superiorly and by the nasal root, eyebrows, and a horizontal line through the lateral canthus inferiorly. Malignant tumors like basal cell carcinomas frequently afflict this region, necessitating meticulous reconstruction techniques to preserve aesthetics and functionality. This article presents an in-depth exploration of the galea flap graft’s efficacy in addressing tissue defect on the forehead, especially in cases of basal cell carcinomas. The surgical procedure involves a wide excision with a 1 cm safety margin, including the frontal muscle and periosteum, followed by exposing the frontal bone. A meticulous approach is taken in tracing the midline, marking the hairline, and planning the left hemi coronal incision to ensure optimal outcomes. The galea flap, vascularized by branches of the superficial temporal artery, is meticulously lifted and transposed downwards to cover the tissue defect, while ensuring the viability of the flap. Postoperative monitoring reveals no signs of cutaneous or vascular damage, with preserved sensory and motor functions attributed to the preservation of the frontal branch of the facial nerve. The discussion delves into the intricate anatomy of the forehead, emphasizing its vascularization, innvervation, and aesthetic subunits such as the glabella and eyebrows. Various surgical techniques, including direct suturing, directed healing, skin grafts, advancement flaps, and two-stage scalp flaps, are examined in light of their efficacy and limitations in forehead reconstruction. The galea flap emerges as a preferred option due to its reliable vascular supply, ease of lifting, and versatility in covering tissue defects while preserving aesthetics. Future research directions are suggested, focusing on refining surgical techniques to achieve optimal outcomes in forehead tissue reconstruction, balancing esthetic results with functional integrit.

 Objective: Traumatic dental injury is considered as the damage to the teeth and/or other hard and soft tissues within and around the oral cavity caused by the collision of the individual with a moving or stationary object. Traumatic dental injury to the anterior teeth can result in varying degree of injuries ranging from various types of fracture of teeth to avulsed teeth. Ellis class III fracture of anterior teeth following trauma, is a common presentation to the dental clinic and may result in pain and discomfort, aesthetic challenge and impaired quality of life. The treatment of Ellis class III fracture of anterior teeth involves a combination of treatment of the pulp injury and the un-aesthetic crown fracture, usually by endodontic treatment and Aesthetic Restorative Materials (ARM). This article reviewed the use of ARM in the management of Ellis class III fracture of anterior teeth and reported our experience in Stella Obasanjo Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria on Ellis class III fracture of anterior teeth managed with hard stainless steel “office” pin retained composite restoration.
 Results: Composite restoration retained with hard stainless steel pin meets the patients’ expectations of aesthetics; strength and retention of restorative material after the fractured teeth have been treated with RCT.
 Conclusion: Hard stainless steel “office” pin retained composite restoration facilitates the retention of the aesthetic material (composite) which results in morale boost, improved patients’ comfort and improved quality of life of patients. Authors hereby suggest the use of hard stainless steel "office" pin as an acceptable improvised post in a resource poor environment rather than risk failure of restoration.

Full textAbstract:
Enamel defects are described as changes in its structure characterized by local decrease or loss of its translucency from fluorosis, hypocalcifications, hypoplasias and inactive carious lesions with superficial and medium depth. The microabrasion of enamel selectively promotes the removal of its surface layer that presents color or structure modification through a mixture of abrasive and erosive agents mechanically. The association of these agents exposes a sub-layer of enamel with normal characteristics. This procedure can be used alone or associated with one or more aesthetic treatments, such as tooth whitening and composite resin restorations. Objective: to approach the microabrasion technique applied in dental enamel with changes in color and structure. Methodology: a non-systematic review of the scientific literature, published from 2009 to 2019, was carried out in the Virtual Health Library and in the academic Google. The inclusion criteria were articles in Portuguese and English, published in the last 10 years, that addressed the proposed theme. Conclusion: Dental microabrasion is a good alternative for aesthetic treatment for changes in the superficial structure of dental enamel, fluorosis and hypoplasia, because it wears little dental structure, restores aesthetics, does not cause damage to the pulp or periodontal tissues, requires little treatment time, does not require cavitary preparation, nor restorative material and is low cost. Aesthetic dissatisfaction is a concern of patients of all ages and the diagnosis of dental fluorosis should be the result of careful anamnesis and it should be taken into account that the etiology may be of various origins.

This study explored attitudes toward leisure noise, use of hearing protection, and perceived susceptibility to leisure-noise damage in young adults with hearing problems. Twelve participants aged between 18 and 35 years took part in a semistructured interview. Data were analyzed using framework analysis. The results showed that a positive attitude to noise, a passion for loud music, a lack of knowledge of the consequences of noise damage, and perceived low risk of hearing problems were associated with people not using earplugs. The aesthetics, comfort, perceived effects on music quality and attitude of others were all barriers to earplug use. Of those who had used earplugs, previous hearing-related symptoms and concern about future hearing damage were the main motivators for use. Four types of people were identified to describe the variation in attitudes and behaviors: those who had no change in behavior or concern about damage; those who were concerned and used earplugs; those who were concerned and avoided loud venues; and those who were concerned about communication difficulties only. Considering the wide variability, it may be more effective to shift attention from trying to change individual attitudes and behaviors to considering systemic changes to protect hearing, through ensuring the music industry and relevant authorities take greater responsibility.

Full textAbstract:
Liquid plastic films are understood as single- or two- or multi-component polymer or polymer bitumen mixtures. Liquid plastic films must meet the requirements for waterproofing insulation, which means, among others, that they must protect the roof from mechanical damage and have resistance to weather conditions. Suitability for use as waterproofing must be confirmed by an ETA (European Technical Assessment) certificate. The article presents the advantages and disadvantages of waterproofing coatings. The application and division of sealing compounds with a brief description of individual solutions are presented. It was also pointed out that the roof aesthetics would be improved due to the use of renovation solutions in the form of plastic films.

ABSTRACT: Aim: The research objective is to analyze selected three churches by architect Professor Adam Lisik realized on mining damage. The research conducted on the basis of the creative output of the prominent Polish architect of religious buildings is presented. The research is intended to show how difficult design conditions and locations on mining damage affect the functional and solid form of the churches. Methods: The following research methods were used to conduct the study: in-situ research of the objects in question, literature analysis, analysis of conceptual sketches and design documentation of the objects, interview with the author of the projects. The research of the objects takes the form of an expert assessment by the author of the article. Results: All three examples of churches built on high categories of mining damage show different projection solutions: square, regular hexagon, ellipse. The shapes used make it possible to obtain a compact projection with interesting aesthetics of shaping the interior space. The architect also showed a lot of freedom in shaping the various masses of the buildings. Limitations of the decision of the OUG (District Mining Office) for the architect not only did not constitute an obstacle, but on the contrary inspired the search for new solutions, giving satisfaction to the creator of the sacred temple. Conclusion: The results of the study allow us to conclude that the limitations of high mining damage categories (III and IV) did not limit creative freedom. It can be summarized by saying: large-scale religious buildings can be successfully implemented on mining damage. Much depends on the knowledge, skills, creative workshop and vision of the architect. Originality: Limitations of mining damage can pose creative challenges to architectural and structural designers. By complying with the principles of structural safety, one can break stereotypes and create architecturally interesting masses and spaces and interiors. Constraint can become an inspiration for creating new forms of architectural expression. Keywords: architecture, churches, design, construction, construction, mining damage, symbolism.

Abstract. Wood as a common construction material in historical buildings, material characteristics and environmental condition is always the main causes to degradation. Dong minority Drum Tower is one of the essential parts of Chinese wooden structural heritage. However, Drum Towers are, at present, in a poor state of conservation, especially suffering from fire risks, biological attacks, mechanical failures and bad interventions.This paper aims to record the observed damage through a classification approach that poses negative impact on the aesthetics and stability of Drum Towers. Firstly, based on the definition and term in relevant standards, a clear and structured damage classification on historical wooden structures is concluded according to the different hazard grades and causes, which are alteration, defect, deterioration and mechanical failure. Secondly, the characteristics of each damage in Drum Towers are revealed through the field survey and classification. At last, the actual condition is presented through a case study of Zengying Drum Tower. Subsequently, a multi-risks prevention in the Drum Tower is discussed, recommendations are proposed with the purpose of controlling the most fatal risks, ranging from insects and fungi risks with operable acceptance by local people and authorities.
