My interest in dentistry was sparked at the age of fourteen. It all started after me and my dentist decided that I needed braces, for a "wonderful smile" as he put it. Every visit to the dentist was a new experience to me. From every time I had my braces cleaned and checked to the difficulties I had to endure afterwards, curiosity found its way, and I slowly took an interest in dentistry.

ABSTRACT Managing trauma to anterior teeth in children is a challenge for dentists. It can be further complicated by the presence of a foreign body in the root canal which act as an additional nidus of infection. This foreign body is often diagnosed accidentally after radiographic evaluation. Thorough and careful clinical and radiographic assessments are required for complete retrieval of foreign body without much damage to the tooth structure. This paper presents a case series of two case reports
substantially. Many pathological conditions of ankle that have been treated with open surgery are now treated with arthroscopy. Arthroscopic surgery of ankle allows direct visualization of intra-articular structures. The increase use in arthroscopy is attributed to its speedy recovery, decreased morbidity and quicker rehabilitation. Gasparetto F. Arthroscopic approaches to the ankle joint The arthroscopic surgery begins by making two or three small openings called portals. Through these portals,
Introduction Organ transplantation is one of the greatest achievements in modern medicine. In 2015, more than 4000 lives were saved and improved by an organ transplant in the UK. However, not all of people waiting for a lifesaving transplant can benefit from transplantation because of the shortage of organ donation.

Despite our advances in medical technology, each year, thousands of people suffer and die due to organ failure. There are various causes to organ failure, either by physical damage, genetic mutation (exogenous factors: e.g. sunlight, radiation, smoking, etc..), and genetically inherited diseases. At this point in time, there are numerous of ways to solving organ failure, such as through the use of dialysis, pacemakers, drugs, etc… But in the end, the most sustainable way of potentially curing organ
The first description of the etiology and surgical approach to Hirschsprung 's disease was by Dr Ovar Swenson in 1948[1].

Bioprosthetic valves used in heart valve replacement generally offer functional properties that are more similar to those of native valves. Implantation of prosthetic cardiac valves to treat hemodynamically significant aortic or mitral valve disease has become increasingly common. Replacement of diseased valves with prosthetic heart valves reduces the morbidity and mortality associated with native valvular disease, but it comes at the expense of risking complications related to the implanted prosthetic

Opportunities to Supply Materials Into the 3D-Printed Medical/Dental Market. There are considerable opportunities as well in the supply of materials to the 3D dental and medical industry. The most popular metal materials are cobalt chrome and titanium. These metals possess biological inertness and can carry high strength-to-weight proportions. Almost each and every 3D print manufacturer has developed its own version of these materials, each slightly modified to work better with their machines. The
Socket shield technique is becoming widely used in implant dentistry as a way of socket preservation to prevent from bone remodeling after extraction, this technique exceeds by far the other techniques of socket preservation in terms of final aesthetic outcome, regarding soft tissues around the implant-borne prosthesis. This report describes the replacement of a failed implant which was originally inserted immediately after a tooth was extracted using the socket shield technique, the second
