Dental management of a pediatric patient with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis having dental anomalies: a case report and brief review of the literature.

Background: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis is a heterogeneous group of disorders, leading to intrahepatic cholestasis, with the possibility of chronic liver failure and biliary cirrhosis. Oligodontia is either the manifestation of a specific syndrome or is non-syndromic. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of type 3 progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis and concurrent oligodontia, craniosynostosis, dens in dente, taurodontism, and delayed permanent dentition in the medical and dental literature.

Evaluating the shear bond strength and remineralization effect of calcium silicate-based and conventional self-adhesive resin cements to caries-affected dentin.

Objective: Given the importance of preserving caries-affected dentin (CAD) in conservative dentistry, the shear bond strength (SBS) of different resin cements to CAD has been investigated. Here, we aimed to compare the SBS and remineralizing effect of a calcium silicate (TheraCem) and conventional self-adhesive cement (Panavia SA) on the SBS of CAD.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight extracted third molars (24 sound and 24 CAD) were used.
