The risk factors for gestational diabetes include advanced maternal age, obesity, previous history of gestational diabetes, family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain ethnic groups (e.g., African American, Hispanic, Native American). Being a non-smoker is not a risk factor for developing gestational diabetes; rather, smoking is generally associated with a lower risk of developing the condition.

EndodonticsThe untrue statement about sectional method of compaction is that vertical root fractures are more common. Actually: 1) Sectional method involves controlled removal of gutta-percha segments, 2) It does create more voids than continuous techniques, 3) It is more difficult to retrieve completely, 4) BUT it does NOT cause more vertical root fractures compared to vertical condensation techniques, 5) The sectional method uses less vertical pressure, making fractures less likely. Vertical condensation techniques are actually more associated with root fractures due to the high vertical compressive forces used.
