University of Basel 4 articles published in JoVE Biology A Versatile Glass Jar System for Semihydroponic Root Exudate Profiling Sarah McLaughlin1, Charlotte Joller1,2, Alexandra Siffert1, Eva Marina Stirnemann1, Joelle Sasse1 1Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of Zürich, 2Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Basel We present a protocol for a glass-based, semihydroponic experimental system supporting the growth of a variety of phylogenetically distinct plants with or without microbes. The system is compatible with different growth media and permits nondestructive root exudate sampling for downstream analysis. Medicine Detection and Removal of Tooth-Colored Composite Resin Using the Fluorescence-Aided Identification Technique Eva Magni*1, Wadim Leontiev*1, Christian Meller2, Roland Weiger1, Thomas Connert1 1Department of Periodontology, Endodontology and Cariology, University Center for Dental Medicine Basel UZB, University of Basel, 2Department of Restorative Dentistry, Periodontology, Endodontology and Pediatric Dentistry, School of Dental Medicine, Eberhard-Karls University The Fluorescence-aided Identification Technique is a practicable, fast, and reliable approach for the differentiation of composite resin restorations from tooth substance, and facilitates the minimally invasive and complete removal of composite resin restorations and composite bonded trauma splints. Medicine Guided Endodontics: Three-Dimensional Planning and Template-Aided Preparation of Endodontic Access Cavities Wadim Leontiev1, Thomas Connert1, Roland Weiger1, Dorothea Dagassan-Berndt2, Gabriel Krastl3, Eva Magni1 1Department of Periodontology, Endodontology and Cariology, University Center for Dental Medicine Basel UZB, University of Basel, 2Center for Dental Imaging, University Center for Dental Medicine, University of Basel, 3Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital of Würzburg Guided endodontics describes a template-aided approach for access cavity preparation. The procedure requires cone-beam computed tomography and a surface scan to produce a template. An incorporated sleeve guides the drill to the target point. This allows the preparation of minimally invasive endodontic access cavities in calcified teeth. Medicine Dynamic Navigation in Endodontics: Guided Access Cavity Preparation by Means of a Miniaturized Navigation System Wadim Leontiev1, Thomas Connert1, Roland Weiger1, Gabriel Krastl2, Eva Magni1 1Department of Periodontology, Endodontology and Cariology, University Center for Dental Medicine Basel UZB, University of Basel, 2Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital of Würzburg Dynamic navigation systems (DNS) provide real-time visualization and guidance to the operator during endodontic access cavities preparation. The planning of the procedure requires three-dimensional imaging utilizing cone beam computed tomography and surface scans. After the export of the planning data to the DNS, access cavities can be prepared with minimal invasion.
