This paper reviews the published data on restorations of primary anterior teeth. The discussion includes Class III restorations, Class V restorations, various forms of full coronal restorations, atraumatic restorative technique (ART) and recommendations for future research.

Background: At the beginning of 2020, a new pathogen named SARS-CoV-2 spread from China to globe, becoming responsible for potentially lethal acute respiratory syndrome: COVID-19. Direct contact and airborne contamination are most frequent infection ways SARS-CoV-2. During routine dental practice, transmission can occur through direct with mucous membranes, oral fluids, contaminated instruments...

Knee dislocation after revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a dangerous, albeit rare, injury that can lead to neurovascular compromise and permanent disability. A paucity of peer-reviewed literature exists regarding this complication after revision TKA. Tibiofemoral dislocation commonly occurs with minimal trauma, such as rising from a seated position, and is commonly associated with a fle...

Background: Enthesopathy of the extensor carpi radialis brevis origin [eECRB] is a common idiopathic, noninflammatorydisease of middle age that is characterized by excess glycosaminoglycan production and frequentlyassociated with radiographic calcification of its origin. The purpose of our study was to assess the relationship ofcalcification of the ECRB and advancing age.<br /...

Between June 1983 and March 1992, we performed a capsular reconstruction procedure through an anterior approach in ten patients (ten shoulders) who had multidirectional laxity of the shoulder and symptomatic atraumatic posterior glenohumeral instability. The procedure included closure of the capsule in the rotator interval and imbrication of the anterior, inferior, and posteroinferior aspects o...

There is an accelerated resorption in the first six months after the extraction of the dental element, both horizontally and vertically. These clinical changes normally undertake the aesthetic result of prosthetic rehabilitation, and implant installation after the extraction can be a resource to decrease resorption. The clinical case described in this paper demonstrates a sequence of clinical a...

Splenic rupture is a rare but serious complication from cocaine abuse. Given the ubiquitous prevalence of abuse and the potential for death from intraperitoneal bleeding, the prompt diagnosis and treatment of cocaine-induced disease including splenic rupture is essential. The management for splenic rupture from traumatic and atraumatic etiology has shifted from emergent laparotomy and splenecto...

Evaluation of patients with shoulder disorders often presents challenges. Among the most troublesome are revision surgery in patients with massive rotator cuff tear, atraumatic shoulder instability, revision arthroscopic stabilization surgery, adhesive capsulitis, and bicipital and subscapularis injuries. Determining functional status is critical before considering surgical options in the patie...

We report on the use of Perc NCircle atraumatic stone forceps to retrieve stones during laparoscopic ureterolithotomy. We think that it is a safe, simple device and that it has significant advantages over other methods.
