Unlabelled: Primordial odontogenic tumour is a recently categorised rare benign mixed epithelial and mesenchymal odontogenic tumour which occurs most frequently in first two decades of life. It is composed of cellular myxoid connective tissue lined by cuboidal to columnar odontogenic epithelium resembling inner enamel epithelium in early stages of tooth development. Here, we are presenting a unique case of bilateral primordial odontogenic tumour of mandible in a paediatric patient.

While extensive research on the condition has identified a predilection for long bones and vertebrae, occurrences in facial bones are infrequent. This case report discusses a unique presentation in a nine-year-old female diagnosed with a tumor located in the mandibular parasymphysis region.

Despite their industrial and environmental significance, discrepancies exist in the reported p values for PFCAs, often spanning three to four units. These disparities stem from an incomplete understanding of how pH influences the ionized state of PFCA molecules in the bulk solution and at the air-water interface.

Microplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are two of the most notable emerging contaminants reported in the environment. Micron and nanoscale plastics possess a high surface area-to-volume ratio, which could increase their potential to adsorb pollutants such as PFAS. One of the most concerning sub-classes of PFAS are the perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs).
