Bioengineering Innovations in Global Dental Infection Control: Applications and Adaptations in Clinical Settings.

Introduction And Aims: Dental practices pose a high risk of microbial contamination due to frequent exposure to bodily fluids like saliva and blood. Bioengineering innovations have emerged as vital tools to enhance infection control in dental settings. This review aims to assess the global applications and effectiveness of these innovations, particularly focusing on antimicrobial biomaterials, sterilization techniques, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Laparoscopic Sac Excision as a Definitive Technique for Inguinal Hernia Management in Pediatric Females: A Prospective Study.

Introduction: The utilization of laparoscopic techniques in the management of inguinal hernias among pediatric patients has seen a rising trend. We aimed to assess the efficacy of laparoscopic excision of the hernial sac as a suitable approach for managing inguinal hernias specifically in female patients and conducted a prospective study to investigate this hypothesis.

Methods: Over a comprehensive four-year period, a total of 99 hernias in 69 female patients were surgically addressed using laparoscopic methods.

A Benign Rectal Polyp With Osseous Metaplasia: A Pediatric Case Report and Literature Review.

Osseous metaplasia is rarely detected in benign and malignant lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the pediatric population under the age of six. Here, we report the case of a four-year-old boy with a history of constipation associated with painless bleeding per rectum for six months which was excised successfully. Microscopically, there was osseous metaplasia with no malignant changes.
