Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the connection between radix entomolaris (RE) in permanent mandibular first molars and C-shaped canals (CSC) in mandibular second molars among Malaysian patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
  • - Findings revealed that RE was present in 21.2% of first molars, while CSC appeared in 37.9% of second molars, with a co-occurrence rate of 6.5%.
  • - Certain demographics, like females and those from Eastern Peninsular Malaysia, showed a higher association with CSC in second molars, highlighting the need for clinicians to be cautious during examinations to avoid endodontic complications.

Background: Lasers and other energy-based devices are increasingly becoming popular in aesthetic practice. Many centers employ doctors or technicians to perform these procedures where treating doctor and operating doctor may be different. Hence the need for standard operative protocols, to be followed while performing these procedures to avoid mistakes, complications and to get optimum results.

Article Synopsis
  • Second molars are at a higher risk for periodontitis when next to third molars that are unlikely to be saved, making their health restoration crucial, especially after third molar removal.
  • The case report highlights the use of high-level laser therapy (HLLT), advanced-platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF), and low-level laser therapy (photobiomodulation [PBM]) as a combined treatment method to address infection and promote healing.
  • Results showed improvements in clinical metrics and bone regeneration at the second molar site three months after using this synergistic approach, suggesting it could be effective for treating acute infections.

Background: Gene expression profiling via qPCR is an essential tool for unraveling the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying growth and development. Identifying and validating the most appropriate reference genes is essential for qPCR experiments. Nevertheless, there exists a deficiency in a thorough assessment of reference genes concerning the expression of the genes in the research in the context of the growth and development of the Black Tiger Shrimp, P.

Objectives: To determine the clinico-radiographic efficiency of partially demineralized dentin matrix block (PDDM block), a mixture of PDDM with advanced-platelet-rich fibrin+ (A-PRF+) and injectable platelet-rich fibrin versus A-PRF+ alone in alveolar socket preservation.

Materials And Methods: Sixteen molar teeth indicated for extraction were randomly assigned into two groups. For the test group, sockets were packed with PDDM block and control group, with A-PRF+ plug alone.
