PedodonticsThe most important modification of amalgam restorations on primary teeth is cavity preparation (Answer: 2). Unlike permanent teeth, primary teeth have a thinner enamel layer and a larger pulp chamber relative to their size. Therefore, the cavity preparation must be done with caution to avoid pulp exposure and ensure the longevity of the restoration.

Digoxin is a positive inotrope, hence it increases the force of myocardial contraction and may be effective in heart failure. It is a cardiac glycoside, which reduces the conductivity of the atrioventricular (AV) node and which may be used in atrial fibrillation.
Digoxin has a long half-life and is given once daily. It is cleared by the renal system and hence renal impairment requires the reduction of digoxin dose.
Arrhythmias, such as atrial tachycardia, may be a sign of digoxin toxicity.
Digoxin toxicity is enhanced if there are 67 electrolyte disturbances, especially hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia and hypercalcaemia.
