Objective: To compare the effects of presurgical infant orthopedics using 2 different methods, that is, Dynacleft with Nasal elevator system versus modified Grayson’s technique in patients complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. Design: Prospective comparative cohort study. Materials Methods: Twenty-eight were divided into groups, Group A consisting 14 who underwent correction DynaCleft B undergoing Grayson technique. Maxillary cast measurements taken at 2-time intervals (pre-...

Objectives To assess the transfer accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) printed trays and compare them with made up polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) for use in indirect bonding. Design: This was a two-arm parallel prospective randomised controlled trial. Setting: The trial undertaken at outpatient department dental college. Participants: A total 30 patients (18 men, 12 women) were randomly allocated to two groups. Methods: inclusion criteria included permanent fully erupted dentition (age range = 17–24...

To examine the effect of micro-osteoperforation (MOP) on space closure rate using passive self-ligating or conventional brackets.This was a two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial undertaken at outpatient department dental college. There were 60 participants (30 women and 30 men) who fulfilled inclusion criteria. Both study control groups subjected to MOPs throughout period closure. repeated every 28 days. The experimental group (mean age 19.5 ± 1.66 years) bonded with brackets while...

Evaluate the effects of alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction (Alt-RAMEC) protocol on patients with unilateral cleft lip palate (UCLP) along protraction using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) records a finite element modeling (FEM) model.Twenty-five (aged 9-13 years) UCLP having GOSLON score 3 were selected for this prospective single-arm cohort study after obtaining necessary informed consent. A 9-week Alt-RAMEC custom-made fan-shaped screw was initiated, which followed...

Nonradiographic 3-D assessment of soft tissue facial structures is an ideal tool to measure change and smartphone apps like Bellus 3D have brought these technologies our doorsteps. Although this app works well for adults, it doesn't do so with infants as their stabilization difficult thus proper alignment becomes problematic often leading distortion. This seriously hampers the repeatability reliability whole process.A stainless steel rod 150-cm length curved into a semicircle radius 42.5 cm....

Introduction: Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite estimated to infect one-third of the global population, surviving in tissues latent form. Although cerebral toxoplasmosis predominantly recognized as an opportunistic infection hosts immunocompromised secondary human immunodeficiency virus or bone marrow transplant, there increasing recognition that this can occur patients receiving immunomodulating agents such mAb therapy targeted against T-cells, B-cells and TNF. The indications for these...

Abstract The dorsal region of the hippocampus (dHC) mediates many mnemonic functions traditionally associated with proper, such as spatial and episodic memory, whereas ventral (vHC) has been extensively implicated in emotional memory motivational processes. By contrast, intermediate (iHC) are far less understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate iHC by reversibly inactivating prior testing behavioral tasks dependent on integrity dHC, iHC, or vHC, namely, rapid place water maze,...

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the maxillary protraction effect facemask therapy with and without skeletal anchorage in growing Class III patients unilateral cleft lip palate (UCLP). Materials Methods Thirty (aged 9–13 years) UCLP having a GOSLON score 3 were selected for prospective clinical study. allocated into two groups using computer generated random number table. Group I (facemask along shaped miniplates, FM + MP) II mask tooth‐anchored appliance, FM)....

Visual hallucinations are rare occurrences in patients presenting with hyponatremia. When they occur, the patient experiences these their eyes closed (vs. opened) and is insightful about false perception. We present case of a 64-year-old male diagnosed hyponatremia caused by gastrointestinal illness, which led to visual hallucinations. The was treated electrolyte infusion, were resolved. Detailed history-taking significant when dealing such cases as differentiate it from other causes....

Background The objective of our study was to derive an assessment scale for three-dimensional (3D) qualitative and quantitative evaluation secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) using cone-bone computed tomography (CBCT) in patients with unilateral cleft lip palate (UCLP). Methods CBCT scans pre- 3-month post-SABG were reviewed volume, height, width, density the bony bridge formed defect 20 UCLP. Basic descriptive principal component analysis used extract various sub-components scale....

Correction of scissor bite often become a challenging task due to repetitive bonding failure and dependence on patient cooperation in wearing elastics.This article reports the successful treatment method using simplified RM appliance.

Background: Dentinal hypersensitivity comprises one of the global oral health issues and imposes a significant challenge for physicians dentists its treatment. It is difficult patients to describe symptoms this clinical situation because very nonspecific features it presents. Nowadays, variety solutions agents are available in market Hence, we aim evaluate effect two different desensitizing on dentin (DH). Materials Methods: A total 10 were selected study. Only those included, who reported...
