Craniosynostosis-4 with Heterozygous Mutation in the Gene: A Case Report.

Background: Craniosynostosis (CS) is defined as the premature fusion of cranial sutures and can be classified as nonsyndromic or syndromic and by which sutures are affected. It affects 1 in 2,000-2,500 children. The most common clinical feature in CS is an abnormal head shape.

Comparative Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength of Bonded Space Maintainers Using Ormocers, Nanofilled and Glass Fiber-reinforced Adhesive Composites.

Background: Space maintainers (SMs) are used to preserve the space created by premature loss of primary teeth. The most commonly used is the band and loop (B&L) SM. As this SM has several drawbacks, such as poor esthetics and gingival health, laboratory procedures for fabrication, and multiple seating procedures, various bonded SMs were introduced.

Evaluation of Chitosan and Ferric Sulphate as Pulpotomy Agents in Primary Teeth: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Preservation of healthy pulp tissue is detrimental for the function and vitality of carious primary teeth. Several hemostatic agents used for pulpotomy in primary teeth showed adverse effects on viable surrounding structures.

Aims: To assess the clinical and radiographic success of chitosan (CH) pulpotomy in primary molars and to compare it with ferric sulphate (FS).

Zinsser-Cole-Engman Syndrome: A Rare Case Report.

Zinsser-Cole-Engmann syndrome also called Dyskeratosis Congenita (DKC) is a rare genodermatosis first described by Zinsser in 1906. Mutations in DKC1 gene is responsible for DKC. It is usually inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, resulting in a striking male predilection.

Comparative Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Properties of Glass Ionomer Cements with and without Chlorhexidine Gluconate.

Background: Chlorhexidine gluconate is a widely used antimicrobial agent. Adding chlorhexidine and quaternary ammonium compounds to filling materials, such as composite resins, acrylic resins, and glass ionomer cements increases the antibacterial property of restorative materials. This study includes antibacterial property of glass ionomer restorative cements with chlorhexidine gluconate.
