Achondroplasia: A form of disproportionate dwarfism - A case report
KV Swathi, G MaragathavalliIndian Journal of Dental Research 2020 31(5):794-798
Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder that is due to mutation of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR3) gene and it results in dwarfism. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The classical clinical features seen are disproportionate dwarfism, rhizomelic shortening (proximal limbs), short fingers and toes with trident hands, large head with prominent forehead (frontal bossing), small mid face with flattened nasal bridge, spinal kyphosis or lordosis, varus (bowleg), and valgus (knock knee) deformities. Oral findings include macroglos...

Post-traumatic pseudo joint formation at the angle of mandible - A case report
SM Balaji, Preetha BalajiIndian Journal of Dental Research 2020 31(5):791-793
Nonunion post-mandibular fractures are relatively uncommon. They pose severe challenge in terms of treatment and quality of life. The cause for pseudo-union is multi-dimensional. Removal of the cause or treating the same is an absolute need to provide correct treatment. Successful correction of a case of pseudo-union of fractured mandible occurring after two previous treatment attempts is presented. The possible explanation for the pseudo-union as well as the precautions to be taken to prevent such occurrence is discussed. (Source: Indian Journa...

Hard tissue formation in odontogenic lesions associated with impacted tooth: Plausible pathogenesis
Arush Thakur, Pooja Siwach, Ruchika R AgrawalIndian Journal of Dental Research 2020 31(5):782-783
Odontogenesis is a complex process, which involves the molecular interaction between the epithelium and ectomesenchyme called as epithelium mesenchymal interaction (EMI). Reduced enamel epithelium (REE) after tooth formation protects enamel from coming in contact with adjacent ectomesenchyme. Also, REE acts as a source of origin for odontogenic lesions, during the process of development of a lesion, disruption in REE may occur and lead to formed enamel coming in contact with adjacent ectomesenchyme leading to the formation of...
