Abstract: Introduction: Chondroblastic osteosarcoma (COS) is a subtype of osteosarcoma (OS).Osteosarcoma is sub classified into osteoblastic, chondroblastic, and fibroblastic types. 50% are osteoblastic, 17% are fibroblastic, and 33% are chondroblastic. Osteosarcoma of jaw bones is rare and comprises 6-9% of all osteosarcoma and less than 1% of all head and neck malignancies. The maxilla and mandible are involved with about equal frequency. Mandible tumors arise more frequently in the posterior body and horizontal ramus rather than the ascending ramus while Maxilla arises in anterior alveolus and antrum. The average age of onset of jaw lesions is in the 4th decade, with a mean age of 34 years, but cases have been reported in patients of all ages. Case report: A 42 year old.....

Abstract: To highlight a rare anatomical variation in a maxillary canine. Human teeth do not present an internal anatomy as simple as could be expected, there are such teeth with extra canals. Maxillary canines can present an internal anatomy with three canals. The existence of maxillary canine with one root canal is commonly seen, but a fact that more than one canal needs to be kept in clinicians mind. Upon a quick glance at literature, it has been noted that very few root canal complexities in maxillary canines have been reported. This case report presents detection, shaping and cleaning and obturation of a permanent left maxillary canine which is single rooted having three canal orifices (Buccal, Palatal and Midbuccal). Midbuccal joining at the middle third and palatal joining at the apical third, before exiting with a single apical foramen..

Abstract: Résumé La maladie de Behçet est une vascularite systémique d'étiologie indéterminée. Elle associe une aphtose buccale et génitale à une atteinte oculaire des chambres antérieures et postérieures de l'oeil auxquelles peuvent s'ajouter d'autres manifestations parmi lesquelles l'atteinte articulaire, dominée par des arthralgies inflammatoires et ou des arthrites périphériques. L'atteinte articulaire destructrice, rapportée dans la littérature par plusieurs auteurs, reste rare. Nous rapportons deux observations d'une polyarthrite érosive au cours de la maladie de Behcetchez deux patientes, l'une âgée de 55ans et l'autre 32 ans. Les maladesétaient admises dans un tableau de polyarthrite symétrique des grosses et petites articulations. Cette poussée articulaire est contemporaine d'un aphte buccal et d'une lésion.....

Abstract: We report a large series of ocular injuries caused by fire-crackers. This study was a hospital-based, single center, retrospective case series in which the records of 51 patients with ocular injuries were analyzed. Injuries were classified according to Birmingham eye trauma terminology system (BETTS). Visual outcomes before and after the intervention were recorded. Ten patients were admitted for further management. As ocular firecracker injuries result in significant morbidity, public education regarding proper use of firecrackers may help in reducing the incidence of ocular injuries.

Abstract: Background: Saliva can be used as a diagnostic fluid in dentistry. Various enzymes have been proposed as markers for periodontal destruction. One of them is aspartate aminotransferase, for which salivary analysis can offer a cost effective approach for monitoring the disease. Changes in enzymatic activity reflect metabolic changes in the gingiva and periodontium in inflammation. Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess the aspartate aminotransferase levels in saliva prior to and following scaling and root planning (SRP) at 1 month and 3 month interval and correlating it with the clinical parameters in generalized chronic gingivitis and chronic periodontitis patients. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with generalized chronic gingivitis and 30 with generalized chronic periodontitis were selected. The activity of aspartate aminotransferase levels in saliva were assessed biochemically before and.....

Abstract: Introduction: Cesarean delivery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by obstetricians. Infectious morbidity after cesarean delivery can have a tremendous impact on the postpartum woman's return to normal function and her ability to care for her baby. Despite the widespread use of prophylactic antibiotics, postoperative infectious morbidity still complicates cesarean deliveries. Objective: The present study was conducted to observe whether cleansing the vagina with a povidone iodine solution before caesarean delivery decreases the risk of maternal infectious morbidities including endometritis and wound complications. Methodology: A interventional study was carried out among 100 women undergoing Cesarean section in the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology....

Abstract: Introduction: There is this saying that Malaria is most prevalent where there is poverty and where methods of disease identification, documentation and reporting are weakest.The antigens of the ABO system (A, B, andH determinants, respectively) consist of complex carbohydrate molecules that are traditionally regarded as red cell antigens found in most human tissues, like epithelium, sensory neurons, platelets and vascular endothelium. This study is aimed at evaluating the prevalence of complicated and uncomplicated malaria among ABO/Rh Blood grouping types of the study subjects.Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectionalstudywith randomized sampling method that used in the selection of subjects, taking into consideration, the total number of patients registered in the pediatric clinic at University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Rivers State. This study was carried out using samples......

Abstract: Understanding and recognising the spectrum of appearances of osteochondroma is important because it represents the most frequent pseudotumoral bone lesion. There are pathognomonic radiological features that are evident with the currently available imaging methods.
We report a case of a 21-year-old woman who presented with a chronis pain in the right lower extremity secondary to a femoral exostosis

Abstract: To evaluate various restorative materials as an alternate to crown coverage of an endodontically treated teeth. The specimens were randomly divided into four groups and restored with different post operative restorative materials.Group I Biodentine, Group II MTA Angelus, Group III MTA White & Group IV MTA Plus after endodontic treatment. The characteristics of the restoration, including anatomic form of the restoration, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, surface roughness, secondary decay and postoperative pain were analysed. It was concluded that biodentine is the best material of choice for core build material..

Abstract: Successful treatment option of a completely edentulous patient depends upon three factors, retention, stability and support. Extreme resorption of residual alveolar ridge becomes more challenging procedure for clinician to rehabilitate it. Fabrication of a hollow maxillary denture can reduce the excessive weight of acrylic resin and can withstand the gravitational forces which dislodged the denture from its original position.
