Strategic dentin preservation is the prime objective of this case report (i.e. leaving a truss of dentin between the 2 cavities thus prepared). Permanent teeth with an indication for endodontic treatment can be treated via the truss access cavity design rather than traditional access cavity protocol using copious irrigation. The teeth were then given post-endodontic restorations. Endodontically treated teeth did not show any post-operative symptoms or any presence of post-operative periapical radiolucency or flare-up. The main objective of Orifice oriented access/truss access approach mainly stresses on the preservation of the healthy tooth structure with the minimally invasive approach. This minimal invasive approach in truss access designs avoids the need for conventionally placed crowns. Thus, the aim of this case report was to strategically plan truss access cavity designs on premolars.

Dental fluorosis can be defined as a developmental condition that affects dental hard tissue, mainly enamel characterised with white or yellowish lesions due to excessive fluoride exposure. Fluorosis can have a major impact on the appearance, structure and shape of the tooth which posed a significant aesthetic concern to individuals having this condition. There are several treatments recommended in treating dental fluorosis depending on the severity of the disease itself ranging from tooth bleaching to prosthetic crowns in severe cases. This case report describes the use of resin infiltration technique on a patient with mild to moderate severity of dental fluorosis of the upper anterior teeth which produce an acceptable improvement of the appearance of the affected tooth. Resin infiltration technique in this case provided a conservative and inexpensive approach in treating mild to moderate dental fluorosis for the patient, improving the aesthetic without significant loss of tooth structure.

Abstract Purpose: The purpose of our case report is to present our experience with minimal invasive approach in a case of cervical schwannoma. Method: The data of patient treated for cervical schwannoma like site, size and extension of the lesion were obtained by neuroimaging and preoperative neurological status obtained by clinical examination. The postoperative neurological status and radiological image were available. The clinical course was documented by Karnofsky score (KPS). Result: We approached the tumour through interlaminar fenestration in cervical (C1-C2) region. Postoperative neuroimaging revealed complete removal of the lesion and no sign of spinal instability. At discharge improvement of KPS score and neurological improvement was observed. Conclusion: Minimal access procedures are increasingly gaining popularity in spine surgery. The aim of the surgical procedure is minimizing the invasiveness and maximizing the efficacy. Modern neuroimaging allows adequate preoperative planning and microsurgical techniques provide adequate execution of the surgical act.

Objective Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become the standard treatment method for primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Concerns about lesser pain and better cosmesis led to the evolution of uniportal access. This study prospectively compared the results of the uniportal, two-port, and three-port thoracoscopic surgery. Material and Methods One hundred and thirty-five patients were randomized into three groups according to the port numbers. The groups were compared regarding the operation time, hospital stay, amount of drainage, area of pleurectomy, complications, recurrences, and pain scores. Results Except for the amount of drainage (p = 0.03), no factors were found to be statistically significant. The overall recurrence rate was 5%. Although the first and second week pain scores were not statistically significant, the single-incision group patients had significantly less pain at 4, 24, and 72 hours (p < 0.05). Conclusion The study indicated that uniportal VATS approach is less painful and has better cosmetic results, besides it is as efficient as two- or three-port VATS approach.
