ABSTRACT
Objective: To measure the mean camper planes I, II and III with reference to the occlusal plane to determine the smallest angle in Prosthodontic rehabilitation
Methodology: This study was carried out in the department of Prosthodontics, de' Montmorency College of Dentistry and Punjab Dental Hospital, Lahore from 19th May to 18th November 2012. Total 50 patients were included. Cephalometric radiographs were taken. On Cephalogram angles were measured between Camper's I, II, and III with occlusal plane. All measurements were calculated and data analysis was done by using SPSS version 17
Result:Mean Camper plane I-OP was 1.67 degree ±0.94, Camper plane II-OP was 2.60 degree +/- 1.07 and mean for Camper plane III-OP was 3.60 degree +/- 1.19
Conclusion: According to this study, angle between Camper's I [superior border of the tragus to the lowest point of ala] was most precise in orienting the occlusal plane
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the effect of intermediate materials at Amalgam-Composite interface
Methodology: This in-vitro study was conducted at IRCM COMSATS Lahore.100 High copper-Spherical amalgam [Aristalloy] specimen were stored in deionized water for two weeks. They were randomly assigned to one of the following groups after being polished. Control Group comprised of fifty bars of Amalgam bonded to Hybrid composite[SolareXGC] with Amalgam bonding agent [Framingdale NY-USA]. Experimental group comprised fifty bars of Amalgam bonded to composite with resin modified glass ionomer cement [GC Fuji].The shear bond strengths were tested using the Universal testing machine at acrosshead speed of 0.5mm/min. All the collected data was entered in SPSS version 19.0. ANOVA was used to determine the mean SBS [Shear Bond strength] values of control and experimental groups
Results: On comparison, there was no significant difference in the bond strength of Amalgam-Composite interface with Amalgam Bonding Agent and Resin Modified glass Ionomer cement
Conclusion: There is less significant effect of type of the adhesive on interfacial integrity, rather it is based more on the adhesive's thickness, method of application and other manipulative variables
ABSTRACT
The case report is of a 30-year male patient who had a fracture shaft of femur and after open reduction and internal fixation developed swelling which was painful and was present on the medial aspect of the thigh. It was decided to do an angiogram as the swelling was expansile and confirmed superficial femoral artery pseudo aneurysm and the reason was thought to be over penetration of the bit of the drill while doing the surgery for shaft of femur fracture. Treatment decided by the multidisciplinary team was to remove the condylar buttress plate, resection of the aneurysm and repair of the aneurysm with inter-positional graft

The study aimed at assessing the knowledge of health care providers and identifying the factors affecting knowledge about safe injection practices. A cross sectional study. This study was carried out at Gujar Khan, District Rawalpindi from July, 2011- October, 2011. 37 health care facilities [72.7% private and 27.3% public] were selected conveniently. 110 Health Care Providers [HCP's] were selected on the basis of availability. HCP's who were involved in clinical work for more than six months were included. Permission was obtained from ethical committee of Health Services Academy and the owners of the health care facilities. The knowledge of the HCPs was assessed through specifically developed scoring scheme and was categorized into good, fair and poor, while the factors affecting knowledge were assessed by applying Chi-square tests. .[p
