Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from epithelial invagination of the tooth crown before calcification. Endodontic treatment of teeth affected by dens invaginatusmay be difficult and complex due to aberrant anatomy. Combined orthograde and surgical approaches for successful treatment of dens invaginatus are effective. This report describes the successful treatmentand results...

Talon’s cusp is a properly delineated additional cusp which is said to arise due to evagination on the tooth surface even before the calcification has taken place. Hence it is also known as dens evaginatus. Fusion is a condition wherein the crowns of two separate teeth are seen to have joined togetherduring the time of crown development. The present article describes a case where in both the pr...

Amelogenesis imperfecta has been defined as a group of hereditary enamel defects which may or may not be associated with some other dental and skeletal developmental defects. It can be characterized by enamel hypoplasia, hypomaturation, or hypo-calcification of the teeth. This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a twenty two year old female patient with amelogenesis imperfecta ...

talon cusp is a dental anomaly also known as an eagle’s talon. it is an extra cusp on an anterior tooth which arises as a result of evagination on the surface of a crown before calcification has occurred. the exact etiology is unknown. the incidence of talon cusp is less than 6%. commonly involved teeth are maxillary incisors, usually unilateral but in some instances bilateral. the classical ra...

The decline of reef-building corals in conjunction with shifts to short-lived opportunistic species has prompted concerns that Caribbean reef framework-building capacity has substantially diminished. Restoring herbivore populations may be a potential driver of coral recovery; however, the impact of herbivores on coral calcification has been little studied. We performed an exclusion experiment t...

The possibility of the shedding primary teeth aspirated into the bronchus is not taken into the consideration sofar as this matter could happen, particularly when it occurs without initial respiratory symptoms, or this episod may be forgotten. Tooth is a nonirritating foreign body and may produce few symptoms even after a prolonged time in the bronchus. Shedding primary teeth usually are only t...

AIM Human Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a prenatal disorder of T lymphocyte development that depends on the expression of numerous genes. Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), previously known as juvenile chronic myeloid leukemia (JCML), is a rare, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disease typically presenting in early childhood. CASE REPORTS Two cases are described of immuno...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a relatively benign inherited neurological disorder (Bell, 1935). Clearly affected subjects have slowly progressive weakness and atrophy of certain distal muscle groups; within an affected family others who carry the gene may show only minor or insignificant clinical abnormalities, such as pes cavus, slight weakness of foot dorsi-flexion, or absence of the Achille...
