Background: One of the important aspect of facial esthetics is smile. Patients having malocclusion do not pose a full smile as they are conscious of the compromised esthetics of their dentition.

In order to obtain a clinically satisfactory outcome, it is imperative one must understand that what is beautiful and attractive to the orthodontist and general dentists might not seem attractive to the patients.

Aim: The aim of this study was to detect the patterns of and reasons for permanent tooth extractions in a Saudi population in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is an orphan disease with an extremely poor prognosis. Radical surgery is possible only for stage IVA anaplastic thyroid cancer, and no effective treatments are available for stage IVB or IVC anaplastic thyroid cancer. The response rate of the disease to cytotoxic chemotherapy has been previously reported as unsatisfactory. Objective: In 2015, lenvatinib was approved and reimbursed for anaplastic thyroid cancer in Japan, including radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer.

Background: Endodontically treated teeth are more prone to fractures than the vital teeth. Fracture occurrence is more in posterior teeth than anterior teeth as the masticatory forces are higher and teeth are weaker. In the late 19th century, the “Richmond crown,” a single-piece post-retained crown with porcelain facing, was introduced to function as a bridge retainer, it incorporated a threaded tube in the canal with a screw retained crown. Objective: Prosthetic rehabilitation of fractured central incisor following endodontics treatment.

Introduction: Wearing sterile Latex gloves provide an essential protection to both surgeon as well as the patient and thus prevent disease transmission from surgeon to patient and vice versa. The risk of transmission of pathogens such as hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from infected patients to the operating surgeon as well as from surgeon to patient has lead to attention on the reliability of intact surgical gloves in preventing contact with the patient’s body fluids.

Background: In 1912 Transplant pioneer Alexis Carrell received the Nobel Prize for his work in the field. The French surgeon had developed methods for connecting blood vessels and conducted successful kidney transplants on dogs. Ukrainian doctor Yu Yu Voronoy transplanted the first human kidney, using an organ from a deceased donor. The recipient died shortly thereafter as a result of rejection (Bilgel et al., 2006). In 1982 on December 2, Barney Clark received the first artificial heart; he survived for 112 days (Taimur Saleem et al., 2009).
