Abstract
There are three principal reasons for adopting magnifying loupes for operative dentistry: to enhance visualization of fine detail, to compensate for the loss of near vision (presbyopia) and to ensure maintenance of correct posture. The wearing of loupes is becoming an accepted norm amongst qualified...

Abstract
A significant problem with most field dental units is that their suction is too weak to effectively remove debris from the mouth. The purpose of this study was to determine the minimum clinically acceptable suction level for routine dentistry. A vacuum pump was connected to a high-volume dental evac...

Abstract
135 (69%) samples were positives by the morphological study with morpholypical diversity. The predominant morphotype was the monopodial (39.2%). 18 strains of Acanthamoeba spp. were detected in DUW (13.%) and three strains in tap water (10%). The amplification of 18S rDNA gene of these strains of Ac...

The highest percentage shortfall was 20.5% at a set torque of 11.4 Ncm (absolute deviation of -2.4 Ncm). The highest percentage by which a torque was exceeded was 54.6% (absolute deviation of 5.5 Ncm). The lowest value for absolute shortfall was found to be -5.6 Ncm at a set torque of 45 Ncm. The hi...

Abstract
The specific structure of dental units favours the presence of biofilm and microbial contamination of the dental unit waterlines (DUWL) water. The ability of bacteria to colonize surfaces and to form biofilm in water supply tubes, including DUWL, is a common phenomenon, which has been well documente...

Abstract
We collected water samples from DUWLs of 20 private dental offices. We have determined that only 2 (3.4%) out of 59 dental unit water samples were found to meet the standard (<200 CFU.ml(-1)) for DUWLs water quality by American Dental Association (ADA). Of the 59 water samples examined, 14 (24%) wer...

Abstract
Our results indicated with strong correlation (r = 0.90) that shorter endodontists used the microscope more often than taller endodontists. The OM was used most frequently for root-end inspection, locating canal orifices, and root-end filling, respectively. Of the practitioners who used the OM, 59%...
