Clinical identification and endodontic management of furcation canals: a case series.

In the case of endodontic infection, the presence of furcation canals can be at the origin of a periodontal lesion located in the furcation. The furcation being very close to the marginal periodontium, this type of lesion can be favorable to the genesis of an endo-periodontal lesion. These furcation canals are lateral canals located on the pulp chamber floor and constitute one of the many physiological communication pathways between endodontic and periodontal tissues.

Acute appendicitis caused by : Observations from a case report.

is the most common parasitic worm responsible for gastrointestinal infection worldwide. Acute appendicitis due to is a rare infection, affecting mostly the children. In this report, we present the case of a 5-year-old girl infant infected by found in the appendix lumen.

Endoperiodontal Lesions and Chicago's New Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions.

Aim: To illustrate, with two clinical cases of endoperiodontal lesions, the clinical application of the new classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions.

Background: The endodont and the periodont are two entities that communicate with each other through physiological communication channels (apical foramen, lateral and secondary canals, and dentinal tubules) resulting in close anatomical and functional interaction. An endoperiodontal lesion is defined by pathological communication between the endodontic and periodontal tissues in a given tooth, according to the definition given by the new classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions from the work of the Chicago Consensus Conference in 2017.

Performance of Fluorescence-based Systems in Early Caries Detection: A Public Health Issue.

Aim: Modern clinical caries management involves early stage caries diagnosis and should fit with dental health policy. The objective of this study was to achieve early caries detection in enamel and dentine with a laser-based system (DIAGNOdent™ pen) first and secondary with a new fluorescence intra-oral camera (Soprolife®). A visual inspection with a loupe was used as control.

Adjuvant therapeutic potential of tonabersat in the standard treatment of glioblastoma: A preclinical F98 glioblastoma rat model study.

Purpose: Even with an optimal treatment protocol, the median survival of glioblastoma (GB) patients is only 12-15 months. Hence, there is need for novel effective therapies that improve survival outcomes. Recent evidence suggests an important role for connexin (Cx) proteins (especially Cx43) in the microenvironment of malignant glioma.
