Background: Bisphosphonates used for the treatment of osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, or heterotopic calcifications can cause serious adverse dental events such as osteonecrosis of the maxillary and mandibular bones. However, the effects in childhood remain scarcely explored.
Case Presentations: We encountered two children who had started bisphosphonate therapy before completion of the primary dentition. No systemic disease causing congenital delayed tooth eruption was diagnosed. Although the children's height and weight increased with age, their tooth eruption was significantly delayed compared with the mean. The primary teeth gradually erupted in the follow-up period; however, some teeth did not completely erupt and needed to be extracted to allow for permanent tooth eruption.
Conclusions: We report a case of children with early use of bisphosphonates and eruption disturbance, highlighting the need for further investigation into the relationship between these factors.

Mental health and sleep routines: Uttarkashi, India tunnel collapse workers' experience.
Sleep Med
December 2024
Department of Psychiatry & Division of Sleep Medicine, AIIMS Rishikesh, India.
Among the mental health outcomes and disaster types (determined by damage to life, property, long-term consequences, displacement, and unpredictability), floods are associated with anxiety and sleep problems, mudslides with anxiety and mood disturbance, volcanic eruptions with acute stress reactions, and earthquakes with anxiety, depression, and physical complaints. Disasters such as tunnel collapse are unique as it involves the healthy, without loss of personal property or displacement; hence, they can have very different health-related outcomes. In this study, we explore mental health and sleep-related issues in workers rescued from an under-construction collapsed tunnel trapped for 17 days.

The removal of lower third molars is one of the most common surgical procedures in routine dental practice. However, perforation of the mandibular third molars by the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is a rare occurrence. These cases are considered to carry a heightened risk of IAN injury due to the nerve being entrapped within the tooth.

Article Synopsis
- Recent FDA approval of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) has sparked interest in its potential for preventing various cancers, including keratinocyte carcinomas (KCs), beyond its initial purpose for neuroblastoma in children.
- A systematic review of 12 studies involving 1,618 predominantly Caucasian patients revealed mixed results, with oral DFMO showing a significant reduction in KCs in only 24% of cases, while topical DFMO showed modest effectiveness in reducing actinic keratosis.
- Overall, the current evidence does not strongly support the use of oral DFMO, whereas topical DFMO may offer a better option for certain patients in preventing skin cancer.

Does Current Evidence Support the Discussion Around the Guidance Theory? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Association Between Maxillary Lateral Incisor Agenesis and Displacement or Impaction of the Permanent Canine.

Palatal impaction of the maxillary canine is commonly considered as a genetic condition, while the lateral incisor root has been suggested to guide maxillary permanent canine eruption. This review assessed whether agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisor is associated with eruption disturbances of the maxillary canine (displacement or impaction). Unrestricted searches in six databases for observational case-control human studies until May 2024 assessing eruption disturbances of the permanent maxillary canine in conjunction with permanent maxillary lateral incisor agenesis were performed.
