Abstract: Hydatidosis is endemic in the Mediterranean region including Morrocco, the Middle and Far East,Australia, New Zealand, and South America—all areas where animal husbandry is common. Rupture into the abdominalcavity is a rare but serious complication of hydatid disease. The cysts may be ruptured after a trauma, or spontaneouslyas a result of increased intracystic pressure. Rupture of the hydatid cyst requires emergency surgical intervention. We report the observation of a 7 year old child child admitted for cutaneous rash, general abdominal pain with fever.the radiological assessment objectified a hydatid cyst of the liver and several intra peritoneal collection. Surgical exploration revealed a peritonitis due to a ruptured hydatid cyst of the liver. The cycst was completely removed combined with an appendectomy and peritoneal lavage. There were no postoperative complications..

Abstract: Tuberous Sclerosis complex also called as Bournville Disease is a rare Autosomal Dominant genetic Disorder caused by mutations in TSC1 and TSC2 gene. It is a disorder involving brain, skin, kidneys, heart, eyes and lungs Presenting in late childhood so early diagnosis is often challenging. . Here, we report a case of a15 year female child with tuberous sclerosis.Multiple research work is still in progress regarding treatment and early diagnosis.

Abstract: Background: In this era of chronic illnesses, curing of the disease is not always possible and often possess as a challenge for a physician. In such conditions, achieving the main goal of providing comfort and pain relief for patients can be achieved through palliative and hospice care. Aim and objectives: The role of palliative care in patientshas an undeniable role in improving the patient`s quality of life. So, the aim of the present study is to assess the awareness, knowledge, and attitude towards palliative medicine among those studying and practicing dentistry. Materials and methods: A structured questionnaire with 22 questions was prepared in Google forms to assess the knowledge, attitude, and awareness of palliative......

Abstract: Background: Dental ceramic restorations are widely spread nowadays due to their aesthetics and biocompatibility. In time, the colour and structure of these ceramic materials can be altered by aging processes. How does artificial aging affect the optical properties of ceramics? This study was to evaluate translucency of different pressable lithium silicate ceramics, with two thicknesses, before and after hydrothermal aging. Also the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between translucency and the thickness of different dental ceramics . A new material, zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate , Vita Ambria was recently introduced for fabrication of monolithic anterior crowns to overcome the aesthetic drawbacks of traditional........

Abstract: Aim of work: The current study tested Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a reliable inflammatory marker of periodontal disease. Subjects and Methods: Samples were taken from gingival crevicular fluid from 60 systemically healthy individuals. Fifty patients with stage II grade A periodontitis (study group), and ten were periodontally and clinically healthy subjects (control group).Whole mouth periodontal parameters [plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), clinical attachment loss (CAL) and probing depth (PD)] were recorded. Results:Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin GCF levels were significantly higher in periodontitis patients thanperiodontal healthy subjects.........

Abstract: Introduction : Some endodontic diseases may have manifestations that affect the periodontal tissues. Communication between the pulp and the periodontal ligament may occur via the apical foramen and lateral and accessory canals in the apical and coronal parts of the root.Case Report : The patient presented with the complaint of slight pain, little discomfort, and swelling over the tooth #46. External examination of the face and palpation did not show any significant abnormality.There was a deep caries in the right mandibular first molar (tooth #46), no response on the pulp vitality test, and pain upon percussion. Furthermore, there was slight gingival congestion and swelling at the buccal area of tooth #46 with exudate extrusion upon the application of pressure. The periodontal examination showed a pocket of 6 mm depth in the mesiolingual (ML) aspect of tooth, with a grade I tooth mobility......

Abstract: Background: Asymptomatic apical periodontitis is a condition that occurs in non-vital teeth accompanied by periapical lesions and does not cause complaints in patients. In establishing the diagnosis requires a proper history, clinical examination and appropriate objective examination in order to obtain adequate treatment.Adequate endodontic treatment and the use of materials containing strong antibacterials are required. Good obturation is a supporting factor, bioceramic sealer is very good to be used as an obturation material with high antibacterial power. Purpose:The aim of this case report is to evaluate conventional endodontics as a non-surgical management of teeth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis.......
