Comparing patient-based outcomes related to neutral zone and conventional mandibular dentures: A systematic review
(South African Dental Association, 2017)Neutral zone mandibular dentures are considered tobe superior to conventional complete dentures.Conventional complete dentures (CD) have been the most common and only treatment modality for rehabilitation of edentulousness until ... -
Comparing patients’ experiences in three differentiated service delivery models for HIV treatment in South Africa
(SAGE Publications, 2022)Differentiated service delivery for HIV treatment seeks to enhance medication adherence while respecting the preferences of people living with HIV. Nevertheless, patients’ experiences of using these differentiated service ... -
Comparing the application of the islamic law of succession and administration of estates in Singapore and South Africa
(Researchgate, 2020-04)This article investigates how the Islamic law of succession and administration of estates is applied in Singapore and South Africa with regard to the “Islamic will”. This kind of will includes a provision where the testator ... -
Comparing the technological literacy of pre-service teachers and secondary school students in South Africa
(IATED, 2012)Technology education was introduced for the first time after the abolition of Apartheid in South Africa in 1994. The technology curriculum required that students become technologically literate. However, in order for ... -
A comparison between the anthropological and modern day uses of this indigenous herb
(Conference: SA Medical Research Council 6th Annual Research Conference, 2012)Sceletium tortuosum (Fig. 1) is a scrambling succulent ground cover indigenous to the Western and Eastern Cape. It has probably been used for centuries as a mood-altering drug, especially by the Khoisan hunters and Nama ... -
