It consisted 42 structured questions sociodemographics (seven questions), knowledge COVID-19 preventive methods (five (nine attitudes toward infection...

Apert syndrome is a rare acro-cephalo-syndactyly characterised by craniosynostosis, severe syndactyly of hands and feet, dysmorphic facial features. It demonstrates autosomal dominant inheritance assigned to mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor gene, as result which signals are not received produce necessary fibrous material for normal cranial sutures. Deformities generally cosmetic but can affect various functions such hearing, visual abnormalities, swallowing, writing, etc,...

The human amniotic membrane (hAM) is the innermost placental that protects and nourishes growing fetus. While its use in various oral maxillofacial procedures abundant, application endodontics relatively new. present case series describes of this therapeutic three different endodontic – pulpotomy, revascularization, root-end surgery. In 1 (pulpotomy), radicular pulp returned to uninflamed state, patient became asymptomatic at follow-up. 2 (revascularization), asymptomatic; however, there was...
