Cleidocranial Dysplasia in a 10-year-old Child: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: Cleidocranial dysplasia is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by multiple skeletal defects of which partial or complete absence of clavicles, delayed closure of fontanels with presence of open sutures and multiple wornian bones forms a striking feature. The oral manifestations are delayed exfoliation, delayed or failing eruption of the permanent dentition with multiple supernumerary teeth, protruding mandible and mid face retrusion. It is also known as Marie and Sainton's disease, mutational dystosis or cleidocranial dysostosis.

Effect of theobromine in antimicrobial activity: An study.

Background: This study aims to compare the antimicrobial activity of theobromine and two commercially available kid's fluoride toothpastes.

Materials And Methods: study a chocolate-based nonfluoride toothpaste, Theobromine (Group A) and two commercially available kid's fluoride toothpaste, Kidodent (Group B), Colgate kids toothpaste (Group C) were used in this study. Freeze-dried stock culture of the strains of , , , and was cultured in their respective selective media.

Effect of protective coating on microleakage of conventional glass ionomer cement and resin-modified glass ionomer cement in primary molars: An study.

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the effect of protective coating G-Coat Plus on microleakage of conventional glass ionomer cement (CGIC) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) in primary molars.

Materials And Methods: A total of 120 samples were divided into four groups with 30 samples in each group. Group A - teeth restored with CGIC.

Molecular detection of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis in subgingival plaque of healthy young children.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the presence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) in subgingival plaque of healthy young children aged between 3 and 15 years using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and to compare their presence in children in their primary, mixed and permanent dentitions.

Management of intrusive luxation in the primary dentition by surgical repositioning: an alternative approach.

Intrusive luxation is the most common trauma during early infancy which results in the displacement of the tooth into its alveolus. Depending on the severity of the intrusion, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends either extraction or spontaneous re-eruption for the primary tooth. This case report provides a brief insight into surgical repositioning as an alternative treatment option for the management of intruded primary tooth in a 4-year-old girl.
