(15) The major interpretational advances were made rapidly using secondary electron imaging of anorganic normal, exposed, carious and instrumented root surfaces.
(16) The patient's age at initial restorative intervention did not appear to influence the need for subsequent endodontic treatment in restored teeth, indicating that early diagnosis and treatment of the carious lesion was critical for long-term pulpal health.
(17) Subjects with a single RPD did not have a statistically significantly increased probability of having carious teeth.
(18) The aim of the study was to compare the radiographic diagnosis of approximal carious lesions with visual observations of the approximal surfaces and within drilled Class II cavities (made into the pulp).

(20) Relative glycogen synthetic abilities of resting cells of fresh clinical isolates of Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii originating from dental plaque samples over root surface caries lesions and non-carious sites were studied under anaerobic conditions at a constant pH of 7.0, with U-(14C)-glucose used as the carbon source.
Decayed
Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Decay
(a.) Fallen, as to physical or social condition; affected with decay; rotten; as, decayed vegetation or vegetables; a decayed fortune or gentleman.
Example Sentences:
(1) Q In radioactive decay, different materials decay at different rates, giving different half lives.
(2) 4) Parents imagined that fruit drinks, carbonated beverages and beverages with lactic acid promoted tooth decay.
(3) In the absence of prostigmine, increasing the concentration of ACh in the synaptic cleft did not change the time constant for decay of end-plate currents.
(4) The kinetics of bimolecular decay of alpha-tocopheroxyl free radicals (T) was studied by ESR mainly in ethanol and heptanol solvents.
(5) For those synapses that were close to the soma the time constant for decay for the non-NMDA component, which was voltage insensitive, ranged from 4-8 ms. 7.
(6) In analyzing the results with any regimen it is important to have long follow-up since late relapses do occur and initial very positive results tend to decay with greater numbers of patients treated.
(7) In one normal ear, ten noise trauma ears, 11 Meniere disease ears, and 24 eighth nerve lesion ears to reflexes or reflex decay that were suggestive or retrocochlear lesions were observed.
(8) Biochemical, molecular, and immunohistologic studies have identified membrane cofactor protein (MCP) and decay accelerating factor (DAF) on trophoblast cells, which could assist in preventing lysis of the cells by complement-activating maternal antibodies.
(9) It has been 40 years since the first community in the United States added a regulated amount of fluoride to its public water supply to prevent tooth decay.
(10) This could reflect the existence of a parallel set of synapses with fast decay that serve as a shortterm store.
