Cone-beam Computed Tomography Analysis and Rehabilitation of a Rare Case of Bilateral Taurodontism.

Taurodontism is an anomaly affecting the morphology and anatomy of the tooth, leading to apical displacement of the furcation in multirooted teeth. This leads to an enlarged body of the tooth and reduced size of the root. Taurodontism is a rare dental finding.

Aberrant glycosylation of secretory mucin from the oral cavity in tobacco consumers: a pilot study.

Mucins are a family of high-molecular-weight O-linked glycoproteins which are the primary structural components of mucus and maintain homeostasis in the oral cavity. The present study was conducted as the first step towards establishing a correlation of aberrant mucin glycosylation with tobacco-associated clinical conditions. Tobacco habituates for the study were identified on the basis of type, duration, amount, and frequency of using tobacco products.

A Shepherd's Crook Deformity of Proximal Femur Treated by Valgus Osteotomy and Bone Grafting.

The Shepherd's crook deformity of the proximal femur is a characteristic radiologic feature of fibrous dysplasia. It may be limited to a single bone, which is called monostotic, or may be polyostotic involving multiple bones as seen in McCune-Albright Syndrome. We report a case of a 19-year-old male patient who presented to us with pain in the right hip for one year.
