Aim and Objective: Provisionalization is essential for tooth protection and treatment outcome evaluation. Utmost care should be taken to maintain the soft tissue health when provisionals are cemented. Mouthrinses are commonly used as an adjunct to protect against caries and periodontal diseases. Thesesolutions are responsible for discolouration of provisional materials. In the present study, the aim is to assess the staining potentials of a chlorhexidine gluconate rinse, a benzydamine hydrochloride rinse and a tea tree oil rinse on a provisional acrylic material in vitro by application of a digital system for colour analysis Materials and Method: In this study, the staining potentials of a tea tree oil, a chlorhexidine gluconate rinse, and a benzydamine hydrochloride rinse was investigated; whereas distilled water was used as the control. Results: Color change of a commercially available provisional restorative material was evaluated after 24 hours immersion in three different mouthrinses. ∆E values obtained were 1.76 for chlorhexidine gluconate, 1.55 for benzydamine hydrochloride and 1.88 for TTO. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the current study, it is concluded that benzydamine hydrochloride exerts the least perceptible change in colour of bisacryl composite provisional resin material. Clinical Relevance to Interdisciplinary Dentistry Dentistry today is vastly different from what it was before. Today it is in the era of interdisciplinary approach from independent to interdependent. It is more result oriented and more successful when any case or situation is handled combined by interdisciplinary experts. Action and role of mouthrinses and their interdisciplinary outcome is evaluated in the present study.

Colorectal cancers rarely present with bone metastases. Regular postoperative monitoring after resection by conventional imaging techniques and carcinoembryonic antigen levels aids physicians in identifying such tumor recurrences. However, some recurrences might elude detection by bone scan, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, and newer tests such as immunoscintigraphy using radioimmune-tagged monoclonal antibodies may be more diagnostic. Here we report a case, presenting with delayed recurrence at a rare bony site, in which application of immunoscintigraphy helped in the definitive detection of the tumor recurrence.

This paper discusses the role of multiple grocery retailers ('supermarkets') within the organic food industry. While the background to the object industry (in terms of both the incentive(s) to buy organic food and the ensuing market demand/supply statistics) has to be presented such as to justify the topic as one worthy of academic interest, the main concern of this paper is with the potential within the relevant industry for waste generation to occur. The potential for such an eventuality is identified via a detailed analysis of: the industry's attempts to ensure the integrity of its organic supplies via the imposition of standards that exceed mandatory (hence EU) requirements, thus potentially exerting pressure on suppliers; the pricing policies applied by the supermarkets; the extent of their domestic sourcing versus imports; the GM 'contamination' debate and supplier cooperation via advice, research and the encouragement of partnership schemes. A critique of the present situation regarding all these issues is combined with an analysis of present initiatives to reduce the incidence of waste that might erstwhile occur, together with suggestions for further improvements – although ultimately it appears likely that 'mitigation' is a more likely future scenario than 'minimisation'.
