The article discusses the treatment of dental caries using indirect pulp capping, a technique aimed at preserving the tooth's vitality. It presents a clinical case of a permanent upper molar with a deep carious lesion treated with Biodentine, a bioactive dental material. The patient experienced a reduction in sensitivity shortly after treatment, and follow-up assessments at 3 and 6 months showed no signs of pulp inflammation.
The article focuses on the management of anesthesia in obstetric patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). It presents a case study of a 25-year-old pregnant woman with relapsing-remitting MS and epilepsy, who required an urgent cesarean delivery. The study discusses the choice between general and neuraxial anesthesia, emphasizing the potential risks associated with each. Neuraxial epidural anesthesia was used successfully, and the patient's condition was monitored for one year postpartum. The article highlights the lack of extensive studies on anesthetic techniques for pregnant women with MS and suggests that using epidural anesthesia at the minimum effective concentration can reduce risks.
The article discusses oral lichen planus (OLP), a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent lesions on the oral mucosa. Despite its prevalence, the exact causes and pathogenesis of OLP are not well understood, and current treatments often yield unsatisfactory results with potential adverse effects.
The article discusses pituitary neuroendocrine tumors, which represent a significant portion of central nervous system tumors, particularly in older adults. It highlights the lack of universal surgical approaches for these tumors, necessitating experienced surgeons for accurate management.
The article addresses upper maxillary compression syndrome, a condition characterized by transversal development deficits and commonly classified within the German school of malocclusions. The study emphasizes the importance of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning.
The article highlights the challenge of evaluating visual field disturbances in school-aged children after brain injury due to the lack of reference values. The study aims to determine the utility of visual field evaluation in these children. It contributes new insights by detailing the features of visual field evaluation in children aged 7 to 18 years following brain injury.
The study investigates the use of X-rays in diagnosing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature children. It involved 105 premature babies, divided into a study group with BPD and a control group without BPD. Data analysis was performed using various statistical tools.
