Aims: bacteria are one of the main factors involved in the process of tooth decay.  They play an important role in the onset and progression of tooth decay and are the main cause of pulp and periapical diseases. Their presence in the crown pulp and dental canal causes symptoms in the teeth; therefore, the aim of this study was to molecular study of anaerobic bacteria in primary and necrotic tee...

Epidemiological studies have shown that the prevalence of dental erosion in children varies widely between 2 and 57%. Changes seen in dental erosion range from removal of surface characteristics to extensive loss of tooth tissue with pulp exposure and abscess formation. Symptoms of dental erosion range from sensitivity to severe pain associated with pulp exposure. The etiology of dental erosion...

BACKGROUND Brain abscess is an uncommon but life-threatening infection. It involves a focal, intracerebral infection that begins in a localized area of cerebritis and develops into a collection of pus, surrounded by a well-vascularized capsule. Brain abscess still poses a significant problem in developing countries but rarely in developed countries. Predisposing factors vary in different parts ...

CE Incisor malocclusion is common in rabbits. If this condition occurs as an isolated entity at an early age, it probably has a genetic origin. Incisor malocclusion in older animals is usually secondary to, or occurs concomitantly with, premolar–molar malocclusion. Therefore, patients with incisor malocclusion should always receive a comprehensive oral examination. Incisor–premolar–molar malocc...

Pyogenic liver abscesses are rare in children. In pediatric patients, altered host defences seem to play an important role. However, pyogenic liver abscess also occurs in healthy children. We experienced a case of pyogenic liver abscess in a healthy immunocompetent 10-year-old-girl. The patient presented two distinct abscesses: one subphrenic and the other intrahepatic. The intrahepatic abscess...

A brain abscess is defined as a focal intracerebral infection consisting of an encapsulated collection of pus, which can be a life-threatening complication of infections, trauma, or surgery. While immunocompromised patients can have a wide array of causative organisms, bacterial species represent the most common etiology in immunocompetent individuals. The incidence of brain abscesses ranges fr...

Acute dental pain most often occurs in relation to inflammatory conditions in the dental pulp or in the periradicular tissues surrounding a tooth, but it is not always easy to reach a diagnose and determine what treatment to perform. The anamnesis and the clinical examination provide valuable information, and a systematic approach is necessary. This paper will focus on diagnosis and treatment o...

INTRODUCTION Hypophosphatemic rickets represents a group of heritable renal disorders of phosphate characterized by hypophosphatemia, normal or low serum 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D and calcium levels. Hypophosphatemia is associated to interglobular dentine and an enlarged pulp chambers. AIM Our goal was to verify the dental abnormalities and the oral health condition in these patients. MATERIAL A...

A 64-year-old Caucasian male was admitted to the infectious disease department in May 2016 for exploration of a febrile syndrome lasting for two months associated with chronic cough for 1 year. He was treated by Everolimus (Certican®) 1 mg bid since 2011 as anti-rejection drug after cardiac transplantation in 1990. His treatment also included Atorvastatin 10mg/d, Ezetimibe 10mg/d, Prasugrel 10m...

Many treatment strategies have been proposed for pyogenic liver abscesses; however, the indications for liver resection for treatment have not been studied in a systematic manner. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the role of surgical treatment in pyogenic abscesses and to determine an optimal treatment algorithm. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all patients who had a ...
