<p>The present case describes the clinical &amp; radiographic outcome of a Portland Cement pulpotomy. The 5 years old girl presenting extensive carious exposure in her mandibular left 2nd deciduous molar and was suffering pain in her left lower jaw only on exposure to cold for last 2 days. She was ultimately diagnosed clinic-radio-graphically as a case of irreversible pulpitis. Coronal pulpotomy procedure was carried out in the responsible tooth and Portland cement (PC) was applied as a medicament after pulpotomy. At the 3 &amp; 6-months follow-up appointments, treated tooth was asymptomatic clinically and radiographic examinations revealed no sign of periradicular pathosis in the pulpotomized teeth. Additionally, the formation of a dentin bridge immediately below the PC in the treated tooth was confirmed by RVG and CBCT.</p>

A 7-year-old boy was referred to the department of conservative dentistry and endodontics, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medial University (BSMMU) with pain on his left lower jaw. After clinical and radiological examination, it was diagnosed as a case of reversible pulpitis. Biodentine pulpotomy was performed followed by permanent restoration with glass-ionomer. The presented case was done to evaluate the efficacy of Biodentine as pulpotomy medicament in primary molar teeth, on follow-up it was found to be successful.Birdem Med J 2017; 7(3): 238-241

Abstract Aim and objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcome of MTA as a pulpotomy agent in permanent teeth as an alternative to conventional root canal treatment. Materials and Methods: Ten permanent teeth with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis with vital pulp were selected for the study. MTAPulpotomy procedure was done in all the cases using standard protocol. Teeth were evaluated for various clinical and radiographic parameters at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of follow up. Results: None of the patients reported any kind of clinical discomfort or radiographic abnormality during the follow up period of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. All the teeth responded positive on electric pulp test at all successive follow ups. Conclusions: MTA Pulpotomy may be used as an alternative treatment modality to root canal treatment in permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis, if future research continues to show promising results.

Objective: The aim of this case report is to describe the treatment of a primary molar with a deep carious lesion by pulpotomy and placement of a ceramic endocrown. Clinical case: A 7-year-old male patient with profound caries in tooth number 85 was referred to our clinic and underwent a pulpotomy. As the final treatment in tooth restoration, placement of an endocrown was planned, because little more than half of the tooth structure remained. After an additional request from the patient's parents for an advanced and prompt restoration, a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) block was chosen. A three-dimensional model of the arch was obtained after scanning the dental cast, and the endocrown was designed digitally according to the model. When the design was complete, the endocrown was fabricated with a milling machine. Finally, the endocrown was cemented with self-adhesive resin cement. Results: Over the 9-month follow-up period, no pulpal or periradicular pathology was observed on radiographs. Regarding the crown, the marginal fit was excellent, the anatomical form was protected, and no discoloration occurred. Conclusion: During follow-up, the CAD/CAM PICN block endocrown proved to be a good material for the short- to long-term treatment of a primary tooth. However, more clinical cases and follow-up are required to investigate the long-term effects of antagonistic tooth wear.

Abstract Metastatic lesions to the midbrain are rare. They are found in 1 to 3% of autopsy series of solitary brain metastases. The consensus of opinion in the current literature is that they are inoperable lesions and should be treated by radiation therapy alone. This is the first case report of a completely excised metastatic adenocarcinoma to the midbrain. The patient's clinical course has been stable, and there is no computed tomographic evidence of recurrence at 18 months follow-up. (18:795-797, 1986)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcome of traumatic craniodorsal hip luxation in a cat, treated with the application of a Mini TightRope (mTR) implant. A caudal approach was carried out in order to expose the hip joint and the sciatic nerve preserving the muscle masses. Clinical follow-up and radiographic recheck were performed at 10 days, one, three, six and 12 months after surgery. Orthopaedic examination was normal 1 month after surgery while the revisit radiographs showed only mild to moderate signs of osteoarthritis (OA) one year later. &nbsp; &nbsp;

The decision forutilization of a space of a retained deciduous molar to alleviate crowding in late mixed dentition is one of the critical aspects in orthodontic treatment.Hence, the aimof the treatment hereis to use the extraction spaces properly to relieve severe crowding and align both the arches to the point where a stable overjet/overbite exist. This case report presenting a 13-year-old female adolescent with severe crowding in both upper and lower jaw and a convex profile. Although she was initially anxious to extract her teeth to treat her case but also she was looking for desirable results. The case was later treated in a conventional orthodontic approach with extraction ofthree 1stpremolars. It was quite challenging to make the best use of the space of missing lower right 2nd premolar after extraction of deciduous second molar on that sideto relieve severe crowding. However; at the end of the treatment, the patient expressed satisfaction with the results- proper bite, smile and most importantly esthetics. This case report demonstrates successful treatment of an adolescent patient with severe crowding by proper utilization of the extraction spaces.

Abstract A patient presented with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage after a prolonged episode of coughing. A preoperative computed tomographic (CT) scan confirmed subarachnoid hemorrhage, but demonstrated no other lesion. Arteriography revealed an ophthalmic artery aneurysm. Operation revealed the aneurysm to be intracavernous without sign of prior rupture; however, a small hemorrhagic meningioma was removed from the ipsilateral anterior clinoid process. In this case, coincidental meningioma and aneurysm presented as a subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to tumor hemorrhage. The follow-up of cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage with negative arteriography with sequential CT scans is discussed.

This case report presents the clinical use of a resin nanoceramic CAD/CAM restoration of a primary second molar without successor in the form of a permanent second premolar tooth in a patient. Three-year follow-up of the case revealed that resin nanoceramic CAD/CAM restoration of the primary molar without successor achieved both aesthetics and function. Despite the high cost of treatment, this type of restoration should be considered if the retained tooth is expected to maintain functionality over the long term.
