Dental management of a child with Wiskott Aldrich syndrome prior to bone marrow transplant: A case report.

Aim: Orodental manifestations are commonly presented in Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome (WAS). The purpose of this paper is to report a case of dental management of a 5-year-old male child with WAS before Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). Such patients are more prone to infection due to pretransplantation chemotherapy and posttransplantation immunosuppression; thus, it becomes imperative to eliminate all potential sources of infection before transplantation.

Tamponade effect of resorbable biological barrier in quality of obturation in primary molar.

Aim: Physical properties of obturating materials have a direct effect on the quality of obturation; less viscous material will tend to extrude beyond the apex. We hypothesize that the use of absorbable gelatin sponge (AGS) can prevent the extrusion of these materials. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of obturation in root canals filled with iodoform-calcium hydroxide (Metapex) premixed paste and Metapex with AGS (MAGS) in primary molars.
