J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal preparation and apical enlargement of molar root canals with rotary or reciprocating heat-treated nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments, by using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Methodology Mesial root canals (n=48) of mandibu...

The Brazillian version of the hand mobility in scleroderma (HAMIS) test: translation and validation

Adv Rheumatol; 59 (), 2019
Abstract Background: The Hand Mobility in Scleroderma (HAMIS) test was created to measure the degree of dysfunction of hand movements imposed by systemic sclerosis (SSc). The modified version (mHAMIS), with 4 of the 9 original items, was developed later. The goal of the present study was to translate an...
