Dental Considerations for the Treatment of Patients with Morquio Syndrome.

Aim: Morquio syndrome, also called Mucopolysaccharidosis IV (MPS IV), is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic lysosomal disorder that results in the deposition of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various tissues and organs, resulting in an array of signs and symptoms. The aim of the study was to systematically record the clinical features with a special emphasis on oral manifestations of patients diagnosed with MPS IV and asses the dental treatment implications of the disease manifestations.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients diagnosed with MPS IV ( = 26).

Comparative Evaluation of Two Remineralizing Agents on Artificial Carious Lesion Using DIAGNOdent.

Purpose: The current study was conducted to assess the remineralization potential of CPP-ACP and a customized dentifrice (tricalcium-phosphate) on artificial carious lesions using DIAGNOdent.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-one extracted premolars that satisfied the inclusion criteria were painted using acid-resistant nail varnish. A window of 4 × 4 mm was exposed on the center of the buccal surface of each tooth.
