​​What is Root Canal Treatment (RCT)? Root canal treatment is for the pulp of your tooth once bacteria have reached the pulp causing it to become infected. Root canal treatment helps preserve your tooth as long as possible so that you do not have to have it removed. The affected tooth is anaesthetized with a local anaesthesia. Tooth is then drilled, to reach the pulp chamber and to have access to the pulp chamber and root canals. Fine instruments are used to reach the root canals and to clear the infected tissue. These are called reamers, files and are available in various dimensions. Files of suitable sizes are used for mechanical cleaning and shaping of the canals. The files used can vary from 0.06 mm to 2 mm in diameter. To give you an idea, the thickness of human hair varies from 0.02 mm to 0.2 mm, so a dental file is finer than a thick strand of human hair. Irrigating solutions help to dissolve and flush out the tissue and toxins of organisms. These solutions aid in chemical cleaning of the canals.    Now the tooth is filled with a material called gutta-percha (derived from a tree of the same name) which is specifically designed to fill root canals. This filling denies the entry of microorganisms into the root canals and bone around the tooth in future. Thus the infected tooth is back in action and continues to serve you for long time.

Cold water is just as cleansing as hot water. When using modern detergent, clothes will be equally clean whether warm or cold water is used. There is one major difference: warm water uses much more energy (about 75% of the energy used for a load of laundry comes from warming the water). #lifehack

​​What is TrichoScan? Quantitative methods for the analysis of human hair growth and hair loss are necessary for patient follow-ups or to determine the efficacy of hair growth promoting drugs. While reviewing the capabilities of the different methods, the common theme emerges that most techniques are of little practical use to the clinician because they are time consuming, costly, or difficult to perform. An operator- and patient-friendly, inexpensive, validated, and reliable method for assessing hair growth was therefore a rational need.  With TrichoScan, such a tool is now available. TrichoScan is a software-based method for the analysis of human hair. For this purpose, digital images are taken from the scalp with a specially developed camera-optics system. TrichoScan software is then used to automatically calculate important parameters of hair growth, such as hair density or thickness from the images.

A wild dog is the most successful predator in the animal kingdom. The apex predator with the highest kill rate is not the lion, the cheetah, or the wolf, it's the African wild dog. According to researchers, these lean, big-eared canines are noted for having a kill rate of 85%, while peregrine falcons get 47% of their targets and lions get just 17 to 19%. Another animal with surprisingly high kill rates? Domestic cats, which kill more than 30% of their targets. #animals #rank

​​What happens if we pour cold Water on the hot Engine? Consider what happens if you suddenly cool a very hot, brittle material, such as cast iron, and to a lesser extent, aluminum. A metal alloy when heated expands evenly and upon cooling contracts evenly; however, this sudden and uneven contraction of that material will cause it to fracture. In the case of a motorcycle engine which is usually not a very big one, can result in a having cracked block. Which will eventually result in a hefty engine replacement? When you throw water on a hot engine, you can see water vaporize quickly. That is because the water absorbs the heat from the outer surface of the crankcase while the inner temperature of the engine remains high. So it makes a huge variation of temperature in the same area of the crankcase. Moreover, the water doesn’t even absorb the temperature from the whole surface evenly but only from the areas where the water came in direct contact. So this huge discrimination of temperature on the crankcase makes the engine go through a situation called a “Thermal Shock.” Now there are chances that some of you might argue that you’ve been doing this practice for long now and your bike completely runs okay. Then to those people, I would say that it’s not your luck but the material used to make these engines instead. Their building material is resilient enough to deal with such malpractice from time to time. But as with all the things in this world, there is an end for everything and one day when you’ll put cold water on the engine on the bike it will be the last time.
