Unicystic Ameloblastoma Associated with Primary Mandibular Second Molar: A Case Report.
Int J Clin Pediatr Dent
November 2023
Background: Unicystic ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, locally invasive odontogenic neoplasm of young age that shows clinical, radiographic, or gross features of an odontogenic cyst but histologically shows typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining part of the cyst cavity, with or without luminal and/or mural tumor growth.
Aim: To report a case of an asymptomatic unicystic ameloblastoma in a 12-year-old child, along with its management and follow-up.
Case Description: A 12-year-old boy presented with swelling with respect to the left body of the mandible.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric dentists are crucial for screening and managing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children, yet their knowledge and practices in this area are under-researched.
- This study surveyed 163 pediatric dentists in Kerala to evaluate their understanding and attitudes towards pediatric OSA, revealing a generally moderate-to-good knowledge level but deficiencies in practical applications.
- To improve care, it's suggested that these dentists engage in continuing education programs and enhance collaboration within their networks, along with updates to the dental billing systems for better alignment with medical practices.

Fast or command setting of Type IX glass ionomer cement using external energy source enhances the setting reaction and results in improved initial physical and mechanical properties.
Aim: To compare and evaluate the influence of ultrasonic activation, halogen light irradiation and combined effect of both on microleakage of enamel adjacent to Type IX glass ionomer restorations.
A Comparative Analysis of Caries Inhibitory Effect of Remineralizing Agents on Human Enamel Treated With Er:YAG Laser: An In-vitro Atomic Emission Spectrometry Analysis.
J Clin Diagn Res
December 2016
Introduction: The tug of war to maintain tooth integrity is dependent on a ratio between demineralization and remineralization. Hence, demineralization should be retarded and remineralization should be enhanced to maintain a natural equilibrium in the oral cavity.
Aim: To compare in-vitro acid resistance of human enamel when using Casein Phosphopeptides Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) [GC Tooth mousse] cream, Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Fluoride Phosphate (CPP-ACFP) [GC Tooth mousse plus] cream, Er:YAG laser alone, combination of CPP-ACP with Er:YAG laser, CPP-ACFP with Er:YAG laser.
Background: Dental caries is essentially a process of diffusion and dissolution. If the aspect of dissolution can be curtailed some degree of prevention can be achieved.
Aims: The present study was carried out to evaluate and compare the effect of Er:YAG laser and Co2 laser irradiation combined with acidulated phosphate fluoride treatment on in vitro acid resistance of human enamel.
