Background: Controversy exists concerning the presence and amount of the Bennett mandibular immediate side shift among patients and whether it is necessary to accommodate for it in adjustable articulators. The aim of this study was to register and calculate the amount of any immediate side shift (ISS) present in patients requiring full mouth rehabilitation. Materials and methods: 3- dimensional condylar movements of 50 Iraqi TMD-free patients were recorded using a stereographic fully adjustable articulator system during protrusion, left and right eccentric mandibular movements. Protrusive angles of each patient were verified to figure out the suitable fossa analog for each case. The thickness of each right and left premade fossa analog selected was measured with a vernier caliper and was tightly secured in the articulator fossa compartment. Functionally-generated path recordings were performed using custom-made intraoral clutches. Bennett ISSs, verified by the stereographic system in the molded fossae, were measured using the vernier caliper. The final right and left ISSs were estimated by subtracting the thickness of the blank fossa analog from that of the molded one. The final ISSs were recorded and statistically compared. Results: Stereographic recordings of eccentric mandibular movements revealed ISSs within all patients involved in this study. The ISSs varied among the patients and bilaterally within them. Their average values ranged between 0.80 mm for females and 1.68 mm for males, showing significant statistical differences between them but with no relevancy to age advancement. Mean values of ISSs of males' and females' mandibular left joints were more than those recorded by their right joints. Conclusion: Verifying the mandibular ISS in the molded fossae is an essential step to efficiently rehabilitate full mouth cases; thus it would be helpful to use a fully adjustable articulator system to restore complicated cases since very minor intraoral occlusal adjustments might be required for the finished restorations prior to the final cementation.
The present study aimed to investigate the anatomical and histological, aspects of the stomach in two different Iraqi birds, (common wood pigeon, Columba palumbus (herbivorous) and the barn owl, Tyto alba (carnivorous). Stomach in the two studied birds IS divided into two parts, glandular or true stomach (proventriculus) and the muscular stomach or gizzard (ventriculus). Proventriculus in the common wood pigeon appeared as fusiform shaped tube and separated from the gizzard by isthmus while in the barn owl, it was pearsshaped , wider and shorter than that of the common wood pigeon and not separated from the gizzard by isthmus. In common wood pigeon, gizzard appeared as biconvex lens lining with yellowish green tissue, the koilin , while

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the marginal gap of ceramic veneers by using two different fabrication techniques and two different designs of preparation. Material and methods: A typodont maxillary central incisor used in the preparation from which metal dies were fabricated, which were in turn used to make forty stone dies. The dies divided into four experimental groups, each group had ten samples: A1: prepared with butt-joint incisal reduction and restored with IPS e.max CAD, A2: prepared with overlapped incisal reduction and restored with IPS e.

Sixty resin blocks with simulated root canals were used, each with a 50° curvature, a 6.5 mm radius of curvature, and a length of 16.5 mm, prepared to an ISO #15 diameter and taper. Canals were shaped using ProTaper Universal files (Dentsply Maillefer) attached to an X-smart Plus endo motor (Dentsply), set at 3.5 Ncm torque and 250 rpm, up to size S2 at working length.
