The patient had rheumatic heart disease, which resulted in severe aortic and mitral valve regurgitation. Repair of both valves was performed at 9 years of age. During surgery, the retracted aortic valve cusps required extension with bovine pericardial patches and suture reduction annuloplasty, and the mitral valve was repaired using a Cosgrove-Edwards (Edwards Lifesciences LLC, Irvine, CA) annuloplasty band.

Background And Objectives: Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) is commonly conducted under a microscope. We report a large series of fully endoscopic MVDs for HFS and describe our initial experience with 3-dimensional (3D) endoscopy.
Methods: Clinical data of 204 patients with HFS who underwent fully endoscopic MVD using 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D endoscopy (191 and 13 patients, respectively) from July 2017 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the inflammatory responses of two cordless gingival retraction systems by assessing the levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). The objectives were to measure IL-1β and TNF-α levels before and after retraction using kaolin-based and polyvinyl acetate-based cordless gingival retraction materials at baseline, 1 h, and 24 h, and to compare the inflammatory profiles of these materials.
Materials And Methods: This in-vivo comparative study used a split-mouth design, with each of the 10 enrolled patients serving as their own control by receiving both kaolin-based paste (Traxodent®, Premier Dental Products, Plymouth Meeting, PA, USA) and polyvinyl acetate-based strip (Merocel®, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) on different endodontically treated teeth requiring full-coverage crowns, thereby minimizing interindividual variability.
