A wooden wedge must be trimmed to fit anatomically with the triangle formed by the matrix band, the adjacent proximal surface and the gingival tissue... Moistening the wooden wedge by submersing it in water permits easier placement and tends to better secure its position. 1, record 1, English, - wooden%20wedge

Analysis of Molecular Variance(AMOVA) is a method for studying molecular variation within a species. Electrophoresis, one of the most widely used methods for studying the structure of DNA, produces data of the form of 0s and 1s where 1 denotes the presence of a band and zero its absence, e. g. Sample Band A 0101... B 1000... C 0110... AMOVA works on such data to create a distance matrix between samples in order to measure the genetic structure of a population. In statistical terms, AMOVA is a testing procedure based on permutational analysis and involves few assumptions. 3, record 2, English, - analysis%20of%20molecular%20variance
