    Summary: Intestinal transplantation remains on the cutting edge of solid organ transplantation. Each potential recipient provides a unique case of intestinal failure with individual intricacies requiring the combined efforts of a complex multidisciplinary team in order to achieve success. Contemporary Small Bowel Transplantation covers all aspects of intestinal transplantation in a manner accessible to all providers and provides specific guidance for those that may come in contact with this field and these patients. The text provides an understanding of the critical pre-operative evaluation, thorough descriptions of each surgical procedure and postoperative management. Areas such as infectious disease, nutrition and graft versus host disease will be addressed in detail. Key controversies and administrative issues unique to intestinal transplantation are covered. Contemporary Small Bowel Transplantation provides critical guidance for the new transplant surgeon, gastroenterologist or administrator as they navigate the challenging field of intestinal transplantation.

    The retentive capacity of three preformed endodontic dowel designs was compared at two lengths and two diameters, with three different cements. The greatest single factor influencing retention of these devices was the design used. Of the types tested in this study, the most retentive were threaded, parallel-sided dowels screwed into tapped channels. Serrated, parallel-sided dowels cemented in matched cylindrical channels provided intermediate retention, and smooth-sided tapered posts were the least retentive. Another major factor in retention was the length of imbedment into dentin. An increase in dowel imbedment depth usually corresponded to increased retention. The effect of cement type was significant only with tapered dowels. Zinc phosphate cement was most retentive, carboxylate cement exhibited intermediate retention, and the epoxy cement was least retentive. For the other post designs, cement type had no significant effect on retentive capacity. Finally, variations in dowel diameter had no significant effect on retentive ability.
