Abstract: Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS) is a life-threatening emergency characterized by severe hyperglycemia, hyperosmolarity, and dehydration with minimal or no ketosis. Early diagnosis and prompt management significantly reduce mortality. We report a case of a G2-year-old man presenting with altered sensorium and profound dehydration who was diagnosed with HHS as the first presentation of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract: Background: Complete edentulism with severe residual ridge resorption leads to inadequate denture stability and compromised facial esthetics, necessitating innovative prosthodontic approaches. Case Presentation: A 55-year-old female patient presented with an ill-fitting maxillary complete denture, poor masticatory function, and sunken cheeks due to severe mandibular ridge resorption. A maxillary complete denture with a hollow fixed cheek plumper was fabricated. The neutral zone was recorded using impression compound to......

Abstract: Background: Complete three-dimensional obturation of the root canal system with an impervious, biocompatible and dimensionally stable obturating material is important for endodontic success. Root canal sealers serve as lubricants and are necessary to fill voids and irregularities in the space between dentinal walls and the obturating material, so as to effectively seal the interface. Thus, a desirable property of a root canal sealer......
