Rationale: Multiple Calcifying Hyperplastic Dental Follicle (MCHDF) is an extremely rare condition and is characterised by multiple impacted permanent teeth, with enlarged dental follicles, containing calcifications. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the ideal exam for the identification of this condition.
Patient Concerns: The present study seeks to compare the behaviour of MCHDF in imaging exams of three clinical cases with their MCHDF imaging diagnoses, in which a change about tooth eruption was observed.
Diagnosis: CBCT proved to be an important diagnostic tool for MCHDF, as it is able to identify these small calcifications, as well as measure the size of the follicle.Treatment Outcomes and Take.
Away Lessons: With a consistent imaging diagnosis, less invasive treatments become a viable option for this condition, since functional and aesthetic involvement is common in these patients, who often tend to be quite young.

With the increase of patients with adult congenital heart disease, the number of high-risk multiple redo sternotomies is increasing. Calcified conduit embedded in the sternum or large vessels attached to the sternum presents an especially challenging case. This video tutorial presents a simple safe redo sternotomy technique using an ultrasonic bone scalpel in such high-risk patients.

Animal growth is a fundamental component of population dynamics, which is closely tied to mortality, fecundity, and maturation. As a result, estimating growth often serves as the basis of population assessments. In fish, analysing growth typically involves fitting a growth model to age-at-length data derived from counting growth rings in calcified structures.

Premature costochondral calcification is a rare finding occurring in young patients and is associated with metabolic and endocrinological conditions. Significant heterogeneity exists with regard to its definition and assessment. This scoping review aimed to summarize the prevalence, risk factors, etiology, evaluation, and management of patients with premature costochondral calcification.
