Odontomas, the benign odontogenic tumors of epithelial and mesenchymal origin, are very common in occurrence and are now widely accepted as hamartomas. Odontomes are invariably composed of enamel and dentin, and may also have variable amounts of cementum and pulp. Largely, odontomas have been categorized into the compound and complex varieties. Compound odontoma epitomizes itself as aberrations with the presence of all types of dental tissues and showing an orderly distribution in the form of tooth-like structures; whereas complex odontoma describes itself as aberrations in which the presence of some or all dental tissues and in a disorganized distribution. Herein, a case of compound–complex odontome associated with the impaction of a mandibular second premolar is being presented in a 13-year-old girl.

Congenital cleft lip and palate is the most commonly found craniofacial defect. The most common problem in an infant with cleft lip and palate is the difficulty in feeding due to communication between oral and nasal cavity. Difficulty in feeding leads to inadequate nutrition and affects the health of the infant. Feeding problems should be assessed and intervened as early as possible, as they are important aspect of the multidisciplinary team approach in the management of cleft lip and palate. Feeding obturator restores this gap and assists in feeding as well as helps in reduction of airway problems, regurgitations, and frequent infections. This clinical report describes a technique of fabrication of a feeding appliance in a 4 hours old neonate with veau type III cleft lip and palate. Keywords: Cleft lip; cleft palate; obturator; feeding appliance; feeding obturator; Veau Type III cleft lip and palate
A bstract Aim To compare and evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) between a mix of calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH) 2 ] powder and normal saline, a mix of Ca(OH) 2 powder and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate solution, a mix of triple antibiotic powder (TAP) and normal saline, and mix of TAP and 2% CHX gluconate solution. Materials and methods A total of 60 teeth were included in the study. The first sample (S1) was collected after access opening from the widest canal of the tooth by inserting sterile absorbable paper point no 20 up to the full length of the canal for 1 minute. The second sample (S2) was collected after the chemomechanical preparation and irrigation. After that, subjects were randomly divided into four groups—group I—a mix of Ca(OH) 2 and normal saline; group II—a mix of Ca(OH) 2 and 2% CHX; group III—a mix of TAP and normal saline; and group IV—a mix of TAP and 2% CHX. Assigned intracanal medicaments were placed in the canals, and the teeth were temporarily sealed with a temporary restorative material. On the 7th day, canals were reopened and irrigated, and a third bacteriological sample (S3) was taken out. Later, canals were filled with suitable obturating material, followed by the placement of the permanent restoration. Results There was a very highly significant ( p < 0.005) difference in E. faecalis count in all the groups on day 7 after placement of intracanal medicament, being highest in group IV followed by group II, group III, and group I. Conclusion Triple antibiotic powder (TAP) mixed with 2% CHX gluconate solution has superior antimicrobial efficacy against E. faecalis in primary teeth.
