Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the most frequent objective clinical manifestations found during the eruption of primary teeth and to assess the correlation between those symptoms and the eruption of various groups of teeth.
Methods: The study was conducted in the Clinica Infantil Colsubsidio in Bogota, Colombia. Five hundred and eighty-five children participated in the study. One-hundred and forty-five children ages 4 to 36 months who had at least 1 erupting tooth were included in the study group. The other 357 children served as a control group. Parents were asked to complete a short questionnaire and children were then checked by one of the authors. Chi-square analysis was performed to analyze information obtained for the 2 groups. Level of significance was set at P < .05.
Results: There were 81 girls (56%) and 64 boys (44%) in the study group, and 183 girls (54%) and 157 boys (46%) in the control group. The most frequent clinical manifestations were: drooling (15%), diarrhea (13%) and drooling-diarrhea (8%). The presence of fever and fever-diarrhea was shown in a lower percentage (8%). In the study group, boys demonstrated a higher prevalence of diarrhea than girls (P < .05). No statistical significance regarding other clinical manifestations and gender were observed. In the control group, 93% of the children did not show any clinical manifestation.
Conclusions: An association has been shown between general objective manifestations like drooling (the most prevalent), fever and diarrhea, and the eruption of primary teeth. Most manifestations appeared during the eruption of the primary incisors.

Background: There are different intraoral appliances for cessation of thumb/finger sucking habit, but they have many disadvantages and to overcome it, extra oral appliances with colourful and attractive shape were developed. Electronic habit reminder in the form of wristwatch with alarming sound was assessed in cessation of thumb/finger sucking habit in children versus palatal crib after 6 and 9 months.
Methods: This study is a randomized clinical pilot study, with allocation ratio 1:1 parallel group.

Short stature, joint hyperextension, ocular hypotension, Rieger abnormalities, and delayed tooth eruption (SHORT) syndrom is a rare primary autosomal dominant genetic disorder mainly caused by pathogenic loss-of-function variants in the phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1) gene. We report the case of a Chinese adult female patient with SHORT syndrome, carrying a PIK3R1 gene variant (c.1945C > T), who developed abnormal glucose metabolism and severe postprandial insulin resistance over 9 years.

Tooth enamel maturation requires the removal of proteins from the mineralizing enamel matrix to allow for crystallite growth until full hardness is reached to meet the mechanical needs of mastication. While this process takes up to several years in humans before the tooth erupts, it is greatly accelerated in the faster-developing pigs. Pig teeth erupt with softer, protein-rich enamel that is similar to hypomineralized human enamel but continues to harden quickly after eruption.

This case report discusses two clinical encounters of a 62-year-old Hispanic woman initially hospitalized with suspected Stevens-Johnson syndrome, later correctly diagnosed with bullous fixed drug eruption during an outpatient visit for a similar eruption. The first encounter involved an extensive evaluation and an 11-day hospital stay, while the second was managed successfully as an outpatient with oral prednisone. This report highlights the importance of differentiating bullous fixed drug eruption from Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis and emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach between Primary Care Providers and Dermatology to ensure optimal patient care.

Introduction: Accuracy and user experience of dental diagnosis for a patient with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) using immersive virtual reality (VR) and cone-beam computed tomography multiplanar reconstruction methods were evaluated.
Methods: Dental students (n = 40) were randomly assigned to VR or MP groups. VR participants manipulated and visualized the rendered 3-dimensional model using VR hardware and software.
