Bilateral dens evaginatus and associated cystic pathology: An unusual case report.

Dens evaginatus (DE) presents a clinical conundrum due to its fragility and propensity to cause pulpal and periapical complications. Clinicians should heed the presence of DE during clinical examinations and avoid unnecessary intervention.

A comprehensive review of oral microenvironment changes and orofacial adverse reactions after COVID-19 vaccination: The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Background And Aims: Anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines have the potential to alter several biological systems concurrently with remolding the immune system, most of which are related to immunization, while some others are known as adverse effects. This review aims to explore the potential effects of vaccination on the oral microenvironment and classifies them as good, bad, or ugly, with a brief review of facial diseases following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination.

Methods: This study was a comprehensive review conducted through searching related articles in Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases.

Reactivated herpetic gingivostomatitis with secondary herpes-associated erythema multiforme and oral candidiasis post-COVID infection: A case report.

The presence and reactivation of oral lesions such as herpetic gingivostomatitis, erythema multiforme, and candidiasis in a COVID-19 recovered patient could be related to COVID-19s profound role in immune dysregulation or related therapies.

Effect of bolus enteral tube feeding on body weight in ambulatory adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes: a feasibility pilot randomized trial.

Background/objectives: To ascertain the effect on body weight of 14 days of bolus enteral feeding with mixed meal (MM) and electrolyte solution (ES) in ambulatory adults with type 2 diabetes and obesity, and also the safety and feasibility of using a modified, intraorally anchored enteral feeding tube for this purpose.

Subjects/methods: We conducted a randomized, crossover pilot trial with 16 participants. A 140 cm, 8-French feeding tube was placed in the jejunum under electromagnetic guidance and anchored intraorally.

Reconsidering the 'Decline' of Dental Student Empathy within the Course in Latin America.

Introduction: The controversy over the presence of empathic decline within the course in students of medicine, dentistry and health sciences in general, has not fully been studied. This controversy could be partially solved if massive studies of empathy levels are made in similar cultural, social and economic contexts.

Material And Methods: Empathy levels within the course were studied in eighteen dental schools from six countries in Latin America (2013).

Interdisciplinary Comprehensive Arm Rehabilitation Evaluation (ICARE): a randomized controlled trial protocol.

Background: Residual disability after stroke is substantial; 65% of patients at 6 months are unable to incorporate the impaired upper extremity into daily activities. Task-oriented training programs are rapidly being adopted into clinical practice. In the absence of any consensus on the essential elements or dose of task-specific training, an urgent need exists for a well-designed trial to determine the effectiveness of a specific multidimensional task-based program governed by a comprehensive set of evidence-based principles.
