Abstract:
Achieving access and finding canals are the key first steps in the endodontic procedure. This has always been a time-consuming, qualitative procedure that relies on the dentist's experience and feel. Recent basic research has been published that shows that the anatomic morphological measurements concerning the pulp chamber are very consistent in every tooth. This research points the way to a quantitative, predictable and quick technique for making endodontic access preparations without risk. The research and clinical technique are described in this article.

01:18Patch Clamp
Many fundamental cell functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission rely on the electrical signals produced by the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across the cell membrane. One competent method to record current flowing across the whole cell or single ion channel is the patch-clamp technique.
In this method, a glass micropipette containing electrolyte solution is tightly sealed against a small portion of the cell membrane. As a result, a patch of the cell...

01:26Drug Discovery: Overview
Drug discovery is a multifaceted process involving extensive screening, testing, and optimization of lead compounds to identify potential new drugs for therapeutic use. It combines several approaches, including screening large numbers of natural products, chemical modification of known active molecules, identification of new drug targets, and rational design based on biological mechanisms and drug-receptor structure. These approaches are carried out in both academic research laboratories and...
