(2016-05-01)Introduction: This study aimed to compare the effects of pitch length and heat treatment on the mechanical properties of glide path establishing instruments. Methods: Prototypes of glide path preparation files (#14/.03 ... -
Effects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on blood donation and blood banks in India
(2022)Abstract: India, the second most populous country in the world, started its mass vaccination campaign on January 16th, 2021. With the aim to vaccinate 1.3 billion people, this vaccination programme was dubbed as the world’s ... -
Effects of space flight on sperm function and integrity: A systematic review
(2022-08)Abstract: With the advancement in space exploration and the intention to establish an inhabitable human settlement on Mars, it is important to investigate the effects of exposure to space/microgravity and the associated ... -
Effects of systematic bisphosphonate use in patients under orthodontic treatment: a systematic review
(2020)Background: Bisphosphonates are a class of drugs prescribed for several osseous related disorders owing to their ability to regulate bone turnover, which could in turn affect orthodontic treatment outcomes. Objective: ... -
Effects of systemic medication on root resorption associated with orthodontic tooth movement: a systematic review of animal studies
(2018-07-09)Background: Theoretically, root resorption could be modulated by any medication taken that exhibits possible effects on the implicated molecular pathways. Objectives: To systematically investigate and appraise the ... -
The Effects of the Placement of Prefabricated Metal Crowns Utilizing the Hall Technique on Masseter Muscle Activity: A Surface Electromyography Study in Children
(2019-08)Background: Hall technique crowns, used to restore non-pulpal carious primary molars, change the occlusal apparatus temporarily, of which the masseters muscles are part of. Surface-electromyography (sEMG) is used to assess ... -
The Efficacy of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in Children with Attention Problems, Hyperactivity, and Impulsivity in Dubai
(2021)Abstract: Disruptive behaviors can be associated with significant functional impairment. Early intervention for young children is essential to prevent long-term consequences. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a ... -
