dentin dysplasia is an exceptionally rare, autosomal-dominant, hereditary condition, primarily characterized by defective dentin formation affecting both the deciduous and permanent dentitions. the etiology remains imprecise to date, in spite of the numerous hypotheses put forward and the constant updates on this condition. this case report of type i dentin dysplasia exhibits radiographic fi nd...

Man has a swollen head and a shrunken, atavistic tail. Yet, in Nature’s eye the two are on par. It is fascinating to realize that the well-recognized lumbosacrolisthesis has a cranial counterpart in transatlantic Odonto-Occipital Listhesis or TOOL in short. Nature’s penchant for embryologically treating the hind-area (proctodeum) on par with the mind-area (stomodeum) gets reflected even in the ...

Anatomically, the cornea is the outermost layer of the eye and is primarily responsible for light refraction which allows for central and peripheral vision. Corneal diseases are among the major causes of global blindness, secondary to cataracts. This paper Keratoprosthesis (OOKP), which is a two stage procedure whereby dental and buccal tissue is auto transplanted into eye to serve as a synthet...

developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) or congenital hip dysplasia (cdh) is the most prevalent developmental childhood hip disorder. it includes a wide spectrum of hip abnormalities ranging from dysplasia to subluxation and complete dislocation of the hip joint. the natural history of neglected ddh in adults is highly variable. the mean age of onset of symptoms is 34.5 years for dysplastic dd...

objective: florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (fcod) is a rare bone lesion that predominantly involves the women’s jaws in middle age. this condition is usually asymptomatic and has a benign course.   case: this paper presents a rare case of fcod in a white middle aged woman, which had affected mandible bilaterally and was diagnosed after tooth extraction and treated conservatively.   we believed...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine interobserver agreement for interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) and to determine sensitivity and specificity of fat detection versus functional parameters measured by MRI. BACKGROUND The interobserver variability of MRI and the relative importance of different...

Dear Professor Emad El-Omar, We read with interest the work by Duits et al who find that validated low-grade dysplasia (LGD) is highly predictive of malignant progression in Barrett’s oesophagus (BO). Yachimski stresses the need for this important finding to be validated in other centres. Our experience of prevalent LGD as a predictor of malignant progression in BO in the West of Scotland stron...

fibrous dysplasia (fd) is an osseous growth dis-order, producing immature bone and characte-rized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. it is a bone dys-plasia that has the potential to cause significant cosmetic and functional disturbances, particularly in the craniofacial skeleton. cra-niofacial fibrous dysplasia is one of the three types of polyostotic fibro...
