PDF Evaluation of 940 nm Diode Laser in Esthetic Crown Lengthening
...Show More Authors

Abstract Background: Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that apically positions the gingival edge and/or removes supporting bone in order to increase the amount of supra gingival tooth structure for restorative or cosmetic purposes.

The objective of the study: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the 940nm diode laser in esthetic crown lengthening surgery through clinical observations, patient questionnaires, clinical photographs, and gingival healing following gingival operations. Material and methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 16 patients (11 females and 5 males) had their crowns surgically lengthened using a diode laser (940 nm) in continuous wave (CW) mode with 1 watt energy settings. A visual analogue scale is used on the first, third, seventh, and twenty-first days following surgery to record pain, swelling, bleeding, functional interference, tooth sensitivity, and success from an aesthetic standpoint, as well as overall patient satisfaction based on patient opinion and clinical photographs. Results: In the present study, we noticed that the scale of pain, bleeding, oedema, function interferance, and tooth sensitization significantly decreased gradually during the first two visits. The measured parameters completely disappeared after one week in most cases, as well as increase patient satisfaction and aesthetic achievement. The patients were recalled three weeks later, the wounds had totally healed, and the patient were not complaining of any pain. Conclusion: Crown lengthening requires optimal gingival margin design. This involves precise shaping of delicate tissues, which is difficult with the scalpel. While Lasers give improved gingival sculpting control and can be used for aesthetic crown lengthening. The laser surgery has many advantages, including excellent hemostasis with little or no bleeding, being less invasive and sterile wound cut, causing less pain and suffering during and after surgery, and enhancing patient satisfaction since the operation is short and, in most circumstances, relatively painless. Also, in laser surgery, there is less functional interruption and enhanced patient satisfaction since a periodontal pack is not needed to cover the surgery site. The healing is faster and more aesthetic when using laser surgery procedure.

Evaluation of The Microleakage of Polyacid Modified Composite Compared to Hybrid Composite and Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement in Primary and Permanent Teeth Restoration (An in vitro study)
...Show More Authors

Background: Dental caries is one of the most significant problems in world health care. Restoring carious primary teeth is one of the major treatment goals for Children, and the light activated resin restoration materials like composite, resin-modified glass ionomer and polyacid-modified which was introduced in dentistry in 1970, widely used in clinical dentistry but its application increased dramatically in recent years because of its biocompatibility, color matching, good adhesive properties of its resemblance in physical and mechanical aspects to tooth. The aim of this study: To evaluate the microleakage of Polyacid-Modified Composite resin Compared to Flowable Hybrid Composite and Resin-Modified Glass ionomer cement. Materials and me

Evaluation of Flat Fan Nozzles Operating Parameters Under Conditions of Accelerated Boundary and Destructive Wear
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Two tests were carried out to measure the standard flat fan nozzles wear during a specific period of an accelerated wear procedure. The first test aimed at getting 10% increase in the flow rate compared to the nominal flow rate, which is the threshold to replace the nozzles according to the nozzles testing standards. The second test was to wear the nozzles intensively (100 hours of accelerated wear), which represents the use of nozzles beyond the allowed threshold. The results showed that the flow rate reached 1.31 l·min<sup>−1</sup> (equal to 10% increase) for the tested nozzles after 35 hours of the wear test. For the second test, the 10% increase of the flow rate was r</p> ... Show More

Hydraulic Analysis and Performance Evaluation of Combined Trunk Sewers: A Case Study of Baghdad City.
...Show More Authors

Sewer system plays an indispensable task in urban cities by protecting public health and the environment. The operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of this network have to be in a sustainable and scientific manner. For this purpose, it is important to support operators, decision makers and municipalities with performance evaluation procedure that is based on operational factors. In this paper, serviceability and performance indicator (PI) principles are employed to propose methodology comprising two enhanced PI curves that can be used to evaluate the individual sewers depending on operational factors such as flowing velocity and wastewater level in the sewers. In order to test this methodology; a case study of al-Ru

EVALUATION OF ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT SECURITY ISSUES APPLIED TO COMPUTER CENTER OF BAGHDAD UNIVERSITY (CASE STUDY)
...Show More Authors

Information security contributes directly to increase the level of trust between the government’s departments by providing an assurance of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive governmental information. Many threats that are caused mainly by malicious acts can shutdown the egovernment services. Therefore the governments are urged to implement security in e-government projects.
Some modifications were proposed to the security assessment multi-layer model (Sabri model) to be more comprehensive model and more convenient for the Iraqi government. The proposed model can be used as a tool to assess the level of security readiness of government departments, a checklist for the required security measures and as a commo
