Oral manifestations of Crohn disease managed with ustekinumab: A case report.

Background: The authors reviewed a case involving the orofacial manifestations of Crohn disease (CD) in an adolescent whose treatment was ultimately managed with a newer class of biologic drug agent, ustekinumab (Stelara, Janssen Biotech). CD is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract that often causes extraintestinal complications. The underlying etiology of CD involves genetic, environmental, and local factors.

Selecting an Esthetic Full Coverage Restorative Material for High Caries-Risk Primary Molars.

Full-coverage restorations are indicated for posterior primary teeth as definitive treatments for high caries-risk children and in patients whose treatment is being performed under general anesthesia. Advances in biomaterials and parental preferences have driven interest in esthetic full coverage treatment options for primary posterior teeth. The prefabricated resin crown offers a 'flex fit' adaptation over the anatomic cervical convexity of the primary clinical crown, similar in functionality to a stainless steel crown.

Brief Communication A Retrospective Evaluation of a Program's Use of Indirect Pulp Therapy for Primary Molars.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess how procedural code trends reflect the adoption of evidence-based best-clinical-practice guidelines in a hospital-based pediatric dental residency program.

Methods: Data on frequency of indirect pulp therapy (IPT) and primary pulpotomy (P) utilization were assessed from 2008 to 2020.

Results: The rate of procedural change between IPT and P significantly differed (P<0.
