- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of cancer in children, and venous thromboembolism (VTE) often occurs in these patients due to related risk factors.
- This text describes a case where a child developed cerebral venous sinus thrombosis before being diagnosed with ALL, following an illness that included gastroenteritis, sepsis, and other blood-related complications.
- Genetic tests showed several mutations linked to blood clotting disorders, raising questions about whether the thrombosis was due to the earlier infection, the undetected ALL, or a combination of factors.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface treatment of dentin with phototherapy (ER-CR-YSGG laser) in the presence of different bonding systems on their shear bond strength and microleakage.
Materials And Methods: Eighty intact human third molars were divided into two groups. Forty teeth were treated with conventional flat wheel diamond bur and the remaining forty were treated with Er Cr YSGG laser (phototherapy).
