Background: The premature loss of the primary teeth after the eruption of first permanent molar can result in mesial shift of the first permanent molar. In such circumstances, we require space regainer. The "banded helical retractor" was designed to overcome some of the limitations of the conventional removable and fixed regainers.
Aim And Objectives: This paper presents a case report with premature loss of second deciduous molar after the eruption of first permanent molar, and regaining the space loss by using innovative design "banded helical retractor".
Case Description: A 7-year-old patient with loss of space due to early exfoliation of 75 was given an innovative space regainer "banded helical retractor".
Results: After 6-weeks followup, space was regained with uprighting of molars.
Conclusion: "Banded helical retractor" as a space regainer was effective in regaining the space in the short duration of time.

The construction of collagen mimetic peptides has been a hot topic in tissue engineering due to their attractive advantages, such as virus-free nature and low immunogenicity. However, all of the reported self-assembled peptides rely on the inclusion of risky elements of potential safety concerns or lack the capability of incorporating critical functional motifs. A versatile self-assembly design of pure synthetic peptides that can mimic the collagen structure and function remains an insurmountably challenging target.

Unlabelled: The transitory phase of the mixed dentition to a permanent one is seldom accurate, the hurdles being space loss, tooth size arch length discrepancy, early exfoliation of primary teeth, or premature eruption of permanent teeth. Space regainers are appliances used to regain and maintain space, so as to guide the unerupted tooth into the proper position in the arch. It not only maintains function and preserves arch length, but also maintains esthetics, prevents the development of deleterious oral habits, and eliminates any potential psychological damage a child could face.

Marine elasmobranch fish contain urea, a protein denaturant, in their bodies. The urea-trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) counteraction mechanism contributes to urea-resistibility, where TMAO compensates for protein denaturation by urea. However, previous studies revealed that shark fast skeletal muscle myosin exhibits native activity at physiological urea concentrations in the absence of TMAO, suggesting that shark myosin has urea-resistibility.

Maize brown sheath spot (MBSS), a new disease of maize, was discovered while surveying for maize leaf and sheath blight diseases in the Indian states of Assam, Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Manipur, and Odisha. Maize is the third most important cereal after rice and wheat in India. Unlike banded leaf and sheath blight disease caused by , MBSS symptoms on maize were discrete and limited to sheaths only.
