Immature fibrous dysplasia: a mixed radio-opaque radiolucent lesion.

Fibrous dysplasia is a bone pathology characterised by abnormal differentiation of osteoblasts leading to replacement of normal marrow and cancellous bone by immature bone and fibrous stroma. A case report of a 20-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of a swelling in the right upper back tooth region, of 6 months duration which was diagnosed as an immature fibrous dysplasia is presented.

2D barcodes: a novel and simple method for denture identification.

Several methods of denture marking have been described in the literature. However, most of them are expensive, time-consuming, and do not permit the incorporation of large amounts of information. We propose a novel and simple method incorporating 2D codes which has several advantages over the existing methods.
