This article has no abstract. The first 100 words appear below: A 34-year-old male attended with mild pain during mastication and slight mobility on the upper left lateral incisor tooth for 2 months. He gave the history of trauma on the offending tooth 3 years ago and for this he visited to a local dentist 2 weeks ago but did not get any relief after treatment. On clinical examination, the tooth was non vital, tender to percussion with 2 degree mobility, not associated with any swelling and discharge. Pre-operative radiograph revealed obliteration of pulp chamber, area of rarefaction associated near the apex of upper left lateral incisor tooth, cervical radiolucency indicating the loss of periodontal structures and about 5 mm separated fragment of instrument in the coronal third of the root canal.

This article has no abstract. The first 100 words appear below: A 26-year-old female came with unaesthetic restorations on the upper four anterior teeth. She gave a history of the restoration of the teeth 6 months ago that underwent progressive marginal discoloration. On clinical examination, two upper central and two lateral incisor teeth were restored by Glass Ionomer cement and Secondary caries were present beneath restorations. Teeth were vital and did not respond to percussion and mobility test. Radiographic examination revealed that the four maxillary anterior teeth (2 central and 2 laterals) had the existing restoration which showed a radioopaque area in the proximal surface but radiolucent areas were also seen beneath the radioopaque area that extends to the dentin.

<p>This case report represents the clinical management of tooth with palato-gingival groove in a right maxillary lateral incisor with endo-perio lesion leading to dento-alveolar abscess and sinus tract. The right maxillary lateral incisor was examined clinico-radiographically. On clinical examination, the offending tooth revealed localized swelling and an intraoral draining sinus pointing on the labial gingiva without any evidence of caries, discoloration and trauma. The palatal surface of lateral incisor showed a groove with mild calculus embedded in it. The radiographic examination revealed periapical radiolucency. This case provides an evidence of morphological defect of tooth. Complete clinical and radiological examination and adequate knowledge of such morphological/ developmental defects of teeth are necessary for recognition and identification especially because of their diagnostic complexity and further consequences.</p><p> </p>

A 22-year-old female patient had a history of a 7-month recurrent pus discharge from her chin. She had been previously treated by physicians, dermatologist, and surgeons. The sinus kept re-occurring and she was referred to dental hospital for opinion.The patient had cutaneous opening of size 5mm × 6mm with purulent discharge in submental region. Patient had undergone three surgical excisions and multiple antibiotic regimens. Patient had a history of trauma due to fall six years back. A 30 number standard gutta-percha was used to trace the sinus tract and dental origin was confirmed radiographically. The tract led to in-between the root canal apices of both mandibular incisors. Treatment included non-surgical endodontic treatment with both mandibular central incisors and antibiotic coverage following bacterial culture of discharge. The pus culture showed Streptococcus anginosus which was found to be sensitive to penicillin. Patient was kept on 1-week course of oral amoxicillin-clavulanate along with root canal therapy.The cutaneous sinus healed following root canal treatment and antibiotic coverage. On an 8-year follow-up skin of sub-mental region appeared normal and peri-apical healing with both mandibular central incisors was evident radiographically. Cutaneous lesions on face may be of dental origin. A cross referral between dentists, physicians, surgeons, and dermatologists should be considered in such cases.

Background: Ascites is one of the most important clinical syndromes, caused by multiple organ disorders, characterized by abdominal distension with accumulation of fluid of various colors and consistencies depending on the etiology that are encountered commonly in canine practice worldwide. Although it has been reported from different countries including India but it has not yet been documented from Bangladesh. Objectives: To evaluate the successful therapeutic management of a clinical case of ascites in dog supported with its brief review for its appropriate application Materials and Methods: A female Spitz dog two and half years old brought for treatment with the history of abdominal distension on 1st November 2009. Clinical examination, abdominocentesis and laboratory examination of ascitic fluid were used for the diagnosis of ascites in dog. Results: Clinical examination revealed dyspnea, discomfort, lethargy, weakness, pale mucous membrane, normal rectal temperature 103.2 0F and distended abdomen with fluid thrill on palpation. Examination of ascitic fluid revealed clear white fluid (pure transudate) which is mainly hepatic origin resulting portal hypertension and hypoproteinaemia. Treatment with restricted sodium diet, antibiotic (amoxicillin), diuretic (furosemide; Lasix, Sanofi Aventis) and vitamin B-complex and C- vitamin supplement with regular monitoring assisted in successful recovery. The recovered dog survived for next five years up to 2014 and then died due to other reasons. Conclusions: This clinical case record on canine ascites with successful treatment along with review especially on the methods of diagnosis and cause-wise treatment would certainly help the clinician for proper management of the clinical cases of canine ascites. Keywords: Ascites, Spitz dog, Diagnosis, SAAG, Therapeutic management, Brief review

The history of this gigantic rodent began to be written in 1809, when M. Gothelf Fischer described a skull from a sandy deposit on the borders of the Sea of Azof, to which he gave the name of Trogontherium. Since then, at varying intervals, to the present time, new chapters have been added to this history by both Continental and British workers, describing specimens of a more or less fragmentary character which have from time to time been discovered. The English specimens have been chiefly obtained from the ‘Cromer Forest Bed,’ that rich and remarkable series of beds occupying a position in time between the Crags and the Glacial deposits of East Anglia. The ‘Forest Bed’ specimens were first made known by Sir Charles Lyell in 1840, but were more fully described by Sir R. Owen in 1846 and referred to Fischer's Trogontherium Cuvieri. It will not be necessary at this time to refer specifically to each of the additions to our knowledge of this animal or to detail the varying opinions as to affinities and nomenclature, as these particulars will be found in the Memoirs of the Geological Survey of the United Kingdom. Although most of the British specimens of Trogontherium Cuvieri have been found in the ‘Cromer Forest Bed’ a few examples have been met with in the Norwich and Weybourn Crags. The smaller species, which has been called T. minus, was obtained from the nodule bed below the Red Crag of Felixstowe, and an incisor tooth from the Norwich Crag was referred to the same species.

Background: Progressive mucinous histiocytosis (PMH) is a benign, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with characteristic ultrastructural features that can be used for diagnosis. Once an important tool in dermatologic diagnosis, electron microscopy has been largely replaced by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence techniques today. However, electron microscopy occasionally still plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of dermatologic conditions. We report a case of PMH as an example of a dermatologic disorder that requires electron microscopy for its diagnosis. Methods: A 60-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a history of small, sharply demarcated, skin-colored papules ranging from 2 to 5 mm in diameter distributed over the arms, forearms, and dorsal hands. The results of light microscopy, immunohistochemical studies, and clinical examination were inconclusive. Another biopsy for electron microscopy showed the characteristic features of PMH. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that a dermatopathology service still needs to have access to electron microscopy for diagnostic purposes to successfully diagnose a small number of rare conditions.
