The best restoration for an endodontically treated tooth has long been debated on by dental practitioners and is considered an essential part of restorative practice. Tooth fracture following root canal therapy is a concern for patients and dentists alike. Recent advances in Dentistry have left dentists with a variety of treatment options which can be tailored to the needs of the patient. Interim restoration of an endodontically treated tooth using fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) is a suitable alternative to conventional restorations because it greatly contributes to the strength and resistance of a tooth. Shivanna and Gopeshetti (2012) concluded in their study that composite restorations reinforced with polyethylene fibers showed increased fracture resistance of root filled teeth and had favorable fracture lines. This paper presents the promising use of the fiber-reinforced composite to treat an endodontically treated mandibular permanent first molar which was completed in one appointment. This technique offers a cost-efficient alternative which does not compromise esthetics and function of the tooth.

The use of the fungus G. Lucidum, thanks to the presence in its composition of a large group of polysaccharides that provide energy and strengthens the immune system, terpenes, and amino acids that affect the operation of almost all human body systems, including the brain blood circulation, it has had a positive effect on the cognitive function of the respondents – it improves memory for numbers on the images, heightened attention and response to an external signal, increased mobility and balance the basic nervous processes in the cerebral cortex.

This work is dedicated to study the protective action among the xanthine derivatives in the model of acute emotional stress environment. It was experimentally proved that caffeine, euphylline and pentoxyphylline have the stress protective activity in the dose of 100 mg/kg which was given twice by intragastric way. It was shown that the most active drug is pentoxyphylline, which supports peroxydant and antioxydant balance at the expense of active product of thiobarbituric acid and superoxide dismutase. The findings attest the presence of the stress protective properties in the xanthine derivatives and also suggest to use the xanthine derivatives in the diseases prevention of stress genesis
