Pediatric IOL power calculation: Factors and considerations.

This narrative review aims to compare and document various studies on pediatric intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, highlighting the differences from adult IOL power calculations and assessing the need for accurate ophthalmic biometry and targeted refraction to improve visual outcomes and reduce amblyopia risk. A comprehensive search of the PubMed database was conducted using keywords such as "pediatric cataract surgery," "IOL power calculation," "ocular biometry," and "IOL formulas." Relevant articles were identified by evaluating titles and abstracts, followed by full-text examination.

The Impact of Socket Shield and Implant Surface Modification With Platelet-Derived Growth Factor on Osseointegration.

Implants have become the first treatment option in the anterior esthetic region. Buccal bone loss is the sequalae of tooth extraction compromising osseointegration and cosmetic goals. The present case report is of a 47-year-old female who requested to have her fractured central incisor replaced with fixed restoration supported by an implant; the tooth had already undergone a root canal and lacked a sufficient structure for crown prosthesis placement.

An Atypical Way of Restoring an Internally Mangled Implant With the Use of a Cast Post: A Case Report.

Implant-supported prostheses can lead to biological or mechanical failures. The loosening of the abutment screw and its fracture are the most common technical complications. Recovery of fractured parts is quite challenging due to the unavailability of a universal standard screw retrieval kit on the market.

Metal Marvels: Revolutionizing Endodontic Restoration With a Novel Endocrown Approach.

This case report explores the innovative application of the endocrown technique for restoring a severely damaged mandibular molar (tooth #46) in a 28-year-old male patient. With a recent root canal treatment history, the patient presented with a dislodged prosthesis. Due to financial constraints, a base metal alloy was chosen for the endocrown restoration.

Visual axis opacification after pediatric cataract surgery - An analysis of morphology and etiology.

Purpose: To investigate the morphological types and delineate the clinical and surgical variables associated with VAO in children undergoing pediatric cataract surgery.

Methods: We included 33 eyes of 28 children who developed clinically significant visual axis opacification (VAO) after congenital or developmental cataract surgery. All eyes underwent a comprehensive examination under anesthesia followed by a membranectomy to clear the visual axis.

Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis.

Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS) is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterized by absence of abduction and adduction movements with intact vertical eye movements and progressive scoliosis. Patients usually present by mid-childhood with complaints of progressive scoliosis. The clinical diagnosis of HGPPS can be further confirmed by the ROBO3 gene mutation on chromosome number 11.

Comparative Evaluation of the Effectiveness of and Chlorhexidine in Full-mouth Disinfection Treatment of Periodontitis in Type 2 Diabetes Patients.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of and chlorhexidine (CHX) in the treatment of stages II and III periodontitis with one-stage complete mouth disinfection in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 24 type 2 diabetic subjects with either stage II or stage III periodontitis were randomly divided into test and control groups with 12 patients in each group. For control group, full-mouth disinfection (FMD) was done using CHX and for test group, FMD was done using .

Bimanual phacoemulsification for subluxated cataractous lens.

Bimanual phacoemulsification has been established as a safe and efficacious means of nuclear emulsification in the past. This case report presents the use of this technique in a man in his early forties, who had subluxated cataractous lenses in both eyes. The technique allowed for effective nuclear emulsification within a closed chamber, providing better control over intraocular events.

Evaluating and Comparing the Effectiveness of Nano-HA and HA + β-TCP with A-PRF Clinically and Radiographically in the Treatment of Human Infrabony Defects.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (NcHA) with advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) and hydroxyapatite-reinforced beta tricalcium phosphate (HA + β-TCP) with A-PRF in the treatment of human infrabony defects clinically and radiographically using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: There were a total of 28 defects, with 14 defects in the test and control groups, respectively. There were total 28 patients were involved in the study.

Evaluation of PRF and PLA-PGA Membrane Along with Hydroxyapatite Crystal Collagen Fibers Bone Graft in the Treatment of Infrabony Defects.

Aim: The present study was carried out to compare the effectiveness of leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) membrane and polylactic acid-polyglycolic acid (PLA-PGA) membrane along with hydroxyapatite crystal collagen fibers bone graft in the treatment of human infrabony defects using cone beam computed tomography.

Implementation of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Dentistry: A Review.

A type of light therapy known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) uses only one wavelength of light. Low-level lasers (LLL) do not have a warming effect on the tissues; instead, they have an effect called photobiostimulation. LLL do not evaporate the tissue.
