An in vitro and computational validation of a novel loss-of-functional mutation in PAX9 associated with non-syndromic tooth agenesis.

Congenital tooth agenesis (CTA) is one of the most common craniofacial anomalies. Its frequency varies among different population depending upon the genetic heterogeneity. CTA could be of familial or sporadic and syndromic or non-syndromic.

Factors influencing the periodontal referral behaviour of the general dental practitioners to a periodontist: A cross-sectional survey.

Crystal structure of 1-{3-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-5-[(E)-2-phenyl-ethen-yl]-4,5-di-hydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl}ethan-1-one.

The title compound, C20H20N2O, was studied as a part of our work on pyrazoline derivatives. It represents a trans-isomer. The central pyrazoline ring adopts an envelope conformation with the asymmetric C atom having the largest deviation of 0.
