The objective of this article is to report the clinical case and 4-year follow-up of a 5-year-old child with multiple dental anomalies, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and use of combined pediatric surgery and orthodontic approaches. A 5-year-old boy, accompanied by his mother, sought dental care for dental caries and tooth pain. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed active caries, a supernumerary primary tooth in the region of the mandibular right second premolar, and severe ankylosis of the primary mandibular right second molar.

Radiolabeled peptides with high specificity to receptors expressed on tumor cells hold a great promise as diagnostic and therapeutic tracers. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the radiochemical and biological properties of two [I]I-peptides, as well as their interaction with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), overexpressed in a wide variety of tumors, including glioblastoma. The EEEEYFELV peptide and its analogue DEDEYFELV, both designed to interact with EGFR, were chemically synthesized, purified and radiolabeled with iodine-131 ([I]NaI).
