The effect of the alignment of the contacting bodies is concerned. Tilting of a body (indenter) is regarded as a mis-alignment. Recently developed method fur evaluating the contact normal traction is introduced and discussed, in which piecewise parabolic profile is considered as a generalized contact profile. Indentation by a wedge with rounded apex is solved as an example problem. In the case of partial slip regime, the variation of shear traction is examined during the closed path of shear force by using the efficient numerical technique. Concentration of the slip region is also investigated. By evaluating the energy dissipation from the contact surface, the effect of the mis-alignment-alignment on wear is discussed.

To determine the appropriate concentrations of nutrients and growth regulators for shoot proliferation and root initiation, several rose hybrid tea cultivars were cultured. Cultured shoot tips and lateral buds from different cultivars proliferated multiple shoots on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0 to 4 mg/L BA and 0 to 0.05 mg/L NAA. The ability of the explants to proliferate shoots and initiate roots was affected by genotype, the nodal position of explant, the strength of MS basal medium and growth regulators used. The buds nearest the apex exhibited the slowest rate of development. Most cultivars had the highest shoot proliferation when cultured on MS medium with 2 mg/L BA and 0.01 mg/L NAA, but the degree varied by cultivars. Root development was enhanced by lowering the concentration of MS salts.

I. Objectives 17% EDTA is known as an effective solution to remove smear layer. When it's applicated for more than 1 minute, it shows dentinal erosion of intertubular and peritubular dentin. This study is to investigate the effect of dentinal tubule erosion with different time application of 17% EDTA solution on the apical leakage. II. Materials and Methods 35 recently extracted human teeth with single canal, straight root, and closed apex were used in this study. Crowns were removed and the pulp tissue remnants were removed with a barbed broach.(omitted)

Mesiobuccal or distobuccal canals of maxillary molars and mesiobuccal or mesiolingual canals of mandibular malars were selected. Forty specimens were divided into four groups according to the instruments used : stainless steel K-files($MANI^{\circledR}$, Matsutani Seisakusho Co. Takanezawa, Japan), nickel-titanium K-files (Naviflex $NT^{TM}$, Brassler, Savannah, U.S.A.), $Profile^{\circledR}$, and $ProTaper^{TM}$ (Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). Occlusal surface of each tooth and root apex were flattened by using diamond burs and sandpaper. Before instrumentation, a rubber stop was fixed with glue to the ＃10 K-files of initial working length in each tooth.(omitted)

I. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of sealer placement in simulated root canal extensions using the K file, ultrasonic file, lentulo spiral and EZ-Fill. II. Materials and Methods Forty resin blocks were attained from cutting Endo-training Bloc with diamond saw. In each parallelepiped block, the simulated root canal was made with ＃20, 08taper GT file. After each block was longitudinally split into two halves using mallet and chisel, a standardized groove of 4mm in length, located 2mmapart from the root apex, was prepared on one wall of two halves using the custom-made knife to simulate the canal extensions with various irregularities.(omitted)

I. Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ratio of gutta-percha area in the canal after canal obturation with Continuous Wave of Condensation Technique with varying depths of plugger penetration. II. Materials and Methods Forty extracted human teeth with single canal were divided into four group of ten teeth each. Root canals were prepared up to size 40 of 0.06 taper with $ProFile^{\circledR}$. After drying, canals of three groups were filled with Continuous Wave of Condensation Technique with System $B^{TM}$ and different plugger penetration depths of 3, 5, and 7mm from the apex.(omitted)

In the infected immature tooth with periapical involvement, the pulp is considered to hardly exist in the canal and periapical area. Such a tooth receives apexification procedure, because revascularization of the pulp chamber is in principle not expected. Apexification is beneficial to induce further development of an apex to close the foramina, but does not promote the thickness of the entire canal wall dentin. It may be possible for the pulp to be only partially necrotic and infected when an extremely large communication from the pulp space to the periapical tissues exists with a very young tooth. If this were the case, vital pulp in the apical part of the canal could proliferate new pulp into the coronal pulp space by the successful removal and disinfection of the necrotic infected coronal pulp.(omitted)

I. Objectives This study was done to evaluate which type of Ni-Ti instrument be able to perform canal shape well in the simulated canal with abrupt curvature near it's apex. II. Materials and Methods A total of 96 simulated root canals were made in epoxy resin(EPOXICURETM, BUEHLER, USA), ＃15 finger spreader (MANI, Japan) were used as root canal templates. The simulated root canal were made with radius of curvature of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 6.0 mm respectively, and angle of curvature of all simulate camals was 90 degree.(omitted)

I. Objectives Effective endodontic obturation must provide a complete, three-dimensional filling of the root canal system, preventing the communication of fluids between root canal and surrounding periapical tissues. The objective of this study was to compare the apical leakage with or without the use of dentin adhesive system. II. Materials and Methods Forth extracted human teeth with single canals were decoronated. Root canals were instrumented using GT rotary files and Profile .04 file up to #40, 1mm short of the apex. After each instrumentation, copious irrigation with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution and confirmation of apical patency were performed.(omitted)

Traumatic injuries to an immature permanent tooth may result in cessation of dentin deposition and root maturation. Endodontic treatment is often complicated in premature tooth with an uncertain prognosis. This article describes successful treatment of two traumatized maxillary central incisors with complicated crown fracture three months after trauma. The radiographic examination showed immature roots in maxillary central incisors of a 9-year-old boy with a radiolucent lesion adjacent to the right central incisor. Apexogenesis was performed for the left central incisor and revascularization treatment was considered for the right one. In 18-month clinical and radiographic follow-up both teeth were asymptomatic, roots continued to develop, and periapical radiolucency of the right central incisor healed. Considering the root development of these contralateral teeth it can be concluded that revascularization is an appropriate treatment method in immature necrotic teeth.
