Median Rhomboid Glossitis: A Developmental Disorder Involving the Central Part of the Tongue.

Median rhomboid glossitis (MRG), also known as posterior midline atrophic candidiasis, is a developmental disorder of the oral cavity. It usually involves the central part of the dorsum surface of the tongue. It is a papillary atrophy that is generally well-defined and symmetrical in presentation.

Evaluation of Postoperative Pain in Response to Polydimethylsiloxane and Calcium Silicate-Based Endodontic Sealers Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Background: The main purpose of obturation is to achieve a complete three-dimensional sealing of the pulp space to create a tight seal and prevent bacterial movement and its toxins to the periapical tissues. Different approaches and sealants have been developed due to the root canal system's intricacy for ensuring tight adherence. The root canal sealants need to establish a bond between the material and root dentine in order to prevent leakage.

The Good Old Masserann Technique for the Retrieval of a Separated Instrument: An Endodontic Challenge.

Instrument separation is one of the most upsetting endodontic errors, and it can occur at any time during root canal surgery. A broken file causes a metallic restriction in the root canal and makes it difficult to clean and shape the instrument effectively, thereby making the prognosis questionable. Hence, such a fragment should be properly retrieved when it becomes difficult to bypass it.
