Introduction: The precise diagnosis of dental structural anomalies is an essential step preceding our restorative and orthodontic therapies. Indeed, first of all, it is necessary to identify the type of structural anomaly and to determine if it is an isolated or a syndromic form: the dental anomaly could be included in a more complex clinical picture combining other clinical signs. Moreover, the establishment of the diagnosis will allow the practitioner to adapt his clinical protocol according to the observed dental structure anomaly. The choice of the bonding material, the type of preparation (no prep, prep less, complete eviction), and the application of a deproteinization protocol with sodium hypochlorite depend to the structural defect.
Material And Method: The diagnosis of dental structural anomalies is based on several key points described in this article in order to facilitate the practitioner's diagnostic approach.
Conclusion: The diagnosis of amelogenesis or dentinogenesis imperfecta should justify the search for other signs to determine whether the anomaly of tooth structure is isolated or syndromic.

Assessing Caries Removal Efficacy and Pain Perception in Children, Using Smart Bur Versus Carbide Bur: A Randomized Clinical Study.
Med Sci Monit
January 2025
Department of Preventive Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Jazan University, Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
BACKGROUND Dental caries removal is conventionally done using carbide burs, but non-metallic polymer burs have recently been developed with the aim of being more selective and causing less pain. The objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of caries removal, time taken, and patient compliance during restorations using smart bur and carbide burs in pediatric patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A clinical study was designed and conducted at the Pedodontics Outpatient Department, with a focus on 40 children between 6 and 12 years old, who were split into 2 groups consisting of 20 children each: group 1, using a carbide conventional rotary bur, and group 2, using a smart bur.

Even if rarely detected, right atrial (RA) masses represent a diagnostic challenge due to their heterogeneous presentation. Para-physiological RA structures, such as a prominent Eustachian valve, Chiari's network, and lipomatous atrial hypertrophy, may easily be misinterpreted as pathological RA masses, including thrombi, myxomas, and vegetations. Each pathological mass should always be correlated with adequate clinical, anamnestic, and laboratory data.

: Permanently replacing missing teeth in the younger population is a clinical challenge. However, dental autotransplantation offers a viable treatment option in this demographic. To be performed predictably, it requires proper diagnoses, planning, and adherence to established guidelines in a multidisciplinary approach.

: Endothelial peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) regulates adipose tissue by facilitating lipid uptake into white adipocytes, but the role of endothelial lipid transport in systemic energy balance remains unclear. Ghrelin conveys nutritional information through the central nervous system and increases adiposity, while deficiency in its receptor, growth hormone secretagogue-receptor (GHSR), suppresses adiposity on a high-fat diet. This study aims to examine the effect of ghrelin/GHSR signaling in the endothelium on lipid metabolism.

Background/objectives: Oral frailty, first identified in Japan in 2014, refers to a state between healthy oral function and severe decline, marked by minor issues, such as tooth loss and chewing difficulties. The oral frailty five-item checklist (OF-5) enables non-dental professionals to evaluate oral frailty using five key indicators: remaining teeth count, chewing difficulties, swallowing difficulties, dry mouth, and articulatory oral skills. Limited studies exist.
