Bridging the Gap between Endodontic Failure and Success: A Case Report on Intentional Replantation.

This case report describes a case of intention replantation in a 15-year-old patient with a mandibular permanent right second molar that had undergone root canal treatment previously. The tooth was tender on percussion. Radiographic evaluation showed the presence of a separated instrument and periapical radiolucency.

Congenital cardiac anomalies in non-syndromic cleft lip and cleft palate patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aim was to establish a specific and definite connection between non-syndromic orofacial cleft patients and associated congenital heart disease (CHD). Following PRISMA guidelines, selective databases were searched for data collection. Studies showing a definite association of CHD with orofacial cleft were included, and studies non-specific of the association of orofacial cleft with CHD were excluded.

Trends of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients: An observational study.

Background And Aim: Mucormycosis is a potentially lethal but rare fungal infection that is rapidly progressive. Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) was the predominant presentation of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM). Hence, the present study aimed to assess the oral manifestations in CAM patients admitted to the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences-A Tertiary Health Care Center.

Should vitamin D be routinely checked for all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients?

Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to compare the vitamin D levels between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and healthy controls and to describe the correlation between vitamin D levels and lung functions.

Methods: Fifty COPD patients (cases) and 30 healthy volunteers (controls) were recruited and their serum vitamin D level was measured together with lung function (forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1]) by spirometry. vitamin D was categorized as ≤20 nmol/l: deficient, 21-50 nmol/l: inadequate, and ≥51 nmol/l as sufficient.

Chromosome 12p Deletion Spanning the GRIN2B Gene Presenting With a Neurodevelopmental Phenotype: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

The (glutamate receptor, ionotropic, N-methyl-d-aspartate 2B) gene, located in the short arm of chromosome 12, encoding the NR2B subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, has recently been recognized to play an important role in corticogenesis and brain plasticity. Deletions in the short arm of chromosome 12 are rare. Hemizygous loss of function of the gene results in developmental delay, whereas gain of function leads to epilepsy, and infantile spasms in particular.

Biotoxicity of commonly used root canal sealers: A meta-analysis.

Introduction: The main objective of a root canal sealer is to provide a fluid tight seal. The purpose of this systematic meta-analysis was to determine the relative toxicity of commonly used root canal sealers like zinc oxide eugenol, calcium hydroxide, and resin-based sealers.

Materials And Methods: An online search was conducted in peer-reviewed journals listed in PubMed, Cochrane, EBSCO, and IndMed databases between 2000 and 2012).

A comparative evaluation of the blood clot, platelet-rich plasma, and platelet-rich fibrin in regeneration of necrotic immature permanent teeth: A clinical study.

Introduction: This study was designed as a clinical trial to evaluate and compare the regenerative potential of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and blood clot in immature necrotic permanent teeth with or without associated apical periodontitis.

Methods: Access preparation was done under rubber dam isolation. Copious irrigation was done with 2.

Fetal onset ventriculomegaly and subependymal cysts in a pyridoxine dependent epilepsy patient.

Pyridoxine dependent epilepsy (PDE) is caused by mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene encoding α-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase. The classic clinical presentation is neonatal seizures responsive only to pyridoxine therapy. White matter abnormalities, corpus callosum agenesis or hypoplasia, megacisterna magna, cortical dysplasia, neuronal heterotopias, intracerebral hemorrhage, and hydrocephalus in neuroimaging have been reported in patients with PDE.

Preliminary ex-vivo and an animal model evaluation of Ocimum sanctum's essential oil extract for its antibacterial and anti- inflammatory properties.

Aim: To evaluate the essential oil extract of the au Ocimum sanctum for its antibacterial and anti inflammatory efficacy.

Methods: The essential oil extract was prepared in the Clevenger's apparatus. Antibacterial efficacy was tested against Enterococcus faecalis at two concentrations i.

Platelet-rich fibrin-mediated revitalization of immature necrotic tooth.

Contemporary studies have shown that the regeneration of tissues and root elongation is possible in necrotic immature permanent teeth. The purpose of this case report is to add a new vista in regenerative endodontic therapy by using platelet rich fibrin for revitalization of immature non vital tooth. An 11year old boy with the history of trauma was diagnosed with the pulpal necrosis and symptomatic apical periodontitis in tooth #21.

Anti-glutamic Acid decarboxylase antibody associated limbic encephalitis in a child: expanding the spectrum of pediatric inflammatory brain diseases.

Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase directed antibodies are a rare cause of autoimmune limbic encephalitis that is relatively resistant to immunotherapy. Here we report a 15-year-old boy with nonparaneoplastic, anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase limbic encephalitis presenting with subacute headache, memory disturbance, psychiatric symptoms, and seizures. At onset, his memory disturbance manifested as transient global amnesia-like episodes.

Expanding the Spectrum of Methylmalonic Acid-Induced Pallidal Stroke: First Reported Case of Metabolic Globus Pallidus Stroke in Transcobalamin II Deficiency.

Unlabelled: A 10-year-old boy with transcobalamin II (TCII) deficiency on oral cyanocobalamin therapy presented with acute right hemiparesis and sensory axonal neuropathy in the context of an intercurrent viral illness. MRI demonstrated unilateral globus pallidus stroke with normal MRA. Echocardiogram was normal.

Atypical presentation of scleroderma in infancy.

We present a case of a female child who had developed progressive skin tightening of whole body, sclerodactyly, and severe contracture of all joints with restricted opening of mouth with disease onset at 6 weeks of life. The child also had anemia, failure to thrive, recurrent diarrhea, and ascites. Skin biopsy revealed characteristic histopathological features suggestive of scleroderma.
