The term serial extraction describes an orthodontic treatment procedure that involves the orderly removal of selected deciduous and permanent teeth in a predetermined sequence
Due to the complex morphology of the root canal system in primary teeth, the clinician must rely primarily on chemical cleansing and sterilization and secondarily on mechanical instrumentation during pulpectomy procedure.
And in order to increase the chance of success of the endodontic treatment, substances with antimicrobial properties are frequently used as root canal filling materials in deciduous teeth

DENTAL AVULSION- IMMEDIATE REPLANTATION: 8- YEAR FOLLOW UP CASEAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Avulsion of permanent front teeth is a rare accident , mostly affecting children between seven and nine year s of age.
Replanted and splinted, these teeth often develop inflammat ion, severe resorption or ankylosis affect ing alveolar bone
development and have to be extracted sooner or later . This repor t proposes a discussion on the var ious pecul iar ities of a
tooth avulsion case with immediate replantation, such as a long retent ion per iod, root canal fil ling with MTA, or thodontic
treatment.
Pulpectomy is the procedure of extirpating the diseased pulp associated with microorganism and debris from the canal and obturating with an antibacterial resorbable filling material and it is indicated when the inflammation of the pulpal tissue involves the radicular pulp or when nonvital tooth is diagnosed.
Obturating the canal creates a fluid tight seal along the length of the root from the coronal opening to the apical system and eliminating all portals of entry between the periodontium and the root canal system.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

and preserve the vitality of the tooth (Finn,1985).
Pulpotomy is defined as the amputation of vital
pulp from the coronal pulp chamber followed by
placement of a medicament over the radicular pulp
stumps to stimulate repair, fixation or
mummification of the remaining vital radicular
pulp (Braham and Morris).

8. The radicular pulp should remain asymptomatic without adverse
clinical signs or symptoms such as sensitivity, pain, or swelling.
There should be no postoperative radiographic evidence of
pathologic external root resorption.
The clinician should monitor the internal resorption, removing the
affected tooth if perforation causes loss of supportive bone and/or
clinical signs of infection and inflammation.
There should be no harm to the succedaneous tooth.

A Systemic Review of the Materials Used in Primary Teeth Pulpotomy in Children Rajendran Ganesh.
13. Formocresol was introduced in 1904 by BUCKLEY.
He contended that equal parts of formalin and tricerion
would react chemically with the intermediate and end
products of pulpal inflammation to form a new colorless
and non-infective compound of a harmless nature.
14. With formocresol as the pulptomy medicament, a zone
of fixation usually is evident where the pulp is in direct
contact with the medicament.
Coagulation necrosis of the tissue occurs at the
amputation site and is supported by the fact that true
coagulation necrosis is produced by poisons such as
phenol, formaldehyde or mercuric chloride, which
denatures the protein of the cells.
It has also been shown that formocresol inactivates the
oxidative enzymes in the pulp tissue adjacent to the
amputation site.
Formocresol, still a controversial material for pulpotomy: A critical literature review; Shashidhar
Chandrashekhar.
15. It may also have some effect on hyaluronidase action.
Therefore, the protein-binding properties and the
inhibition of the enzymes that can break the pulp tissue
down together result in ‘fixation’ of the pulp tissue by
formocresol and render it inert and resistant to
enzymatic breakdown.
Formocresol, still a controversial material for pulpotomy: A critical literature review;
Shashidhar Chandrashekhar.
16. The formocresol pulpotomy technique was first
advocated by SWEET [1930]
He used a multiple sitting technique, which has
been subsequently modified to either a single or
two stage technique.
BUCKLEY’S FORMALDEHYDE FORMULA :-
19% Formaldehyde
35% cresol
15% Glycerin &
31%Water
To prepare 1.5% concentration of this formula,
first mix 3 parts of glycerin with 1 part of distilled
water , then add 4 parts of this preparation to 1 part
buckley's formocresol,and throughly mix again.
17. Anesthetize the tooth & isolation with rubber dam
Access cavity preparation done & all caries removed
The entire roof of the pulp chamber is removed using a high-
speed bur
All the coronal pulp is amputated with a slow-speed bur or
spoon excavator
Pulp chamber is thoroughly washed with saline to remove all
debris
Hemorrhage is controlled by slightly moistened cotton pellets
placed over pulp
Apply diluted formocresol to the pulp using a cotton pellet
Cavity filled with ZOE paste & permanent restoration
Stainless steel crown placed
Formocresol pulpotomy on (young) permanent teeth-Philip A et.al
18. The restoration can be placed during the same
appointment, thus taking advantage of the already
anesthetized tissues; or a final restoration can be
placed at a later date pending the success of the
pulpotomy procedure (the tooth can be taken
slightly out of occlusion.)
As with any Formocresol procedure, the patient
may experience some discomfort for the first 24
hours.
19. Indications for two-visit pulpotomy procedure in
primary teeth are:
• Inability to arrest hemorrhage from the amputated pulp
stumps during a single visit formocresol pulpotomy.
• Non-vital coronal and/or radicular pulp without the
presence of an abscess.
20. In two-stage procedure, this involves the use of
paraformaldehyde to fix the entire coronal and
radicular pulp tissue.
The paraformaldehyde paste is most commonly used
(Hobson 1970).
21. The paste is placed over the pulpal exposure on a small pellet of
cotton wool.
The paraformaldehyde paste is sealed into the cavity with a thin mix
of zinc eugenol and left for 1-2 weeks.
Formaldehyde gas liberated from the paraformaldehyde permeates
through the coronal and radicular pulp, fixing the tissues.
On the second visit, the dressing is removed, there is no need to
administer a local anesthetic and the pulp contents should be nonvital
Pulpotomy is carried out and then covered with hard setting zinc
oxide cement or altenatively an antiseptic paste (equal parts of
eugenol and formocresol with zinc oxide) over the radicular pulp
before restoring the tooth.
22. ADVANTAGES
Commonly available
medicament
Stable at room temperature
Long shelf life
High clinical and
radiographic success of
formocresol pulpotomy
DISADVANTAGES
It is a very caustic
medicament.
In high doses it is toxic.
Potential systemic
absorption and distribution
throughout the body.
It has a mutagenic and
carcinogenic potential .
23. It is a bifunctional reagent which allows it to form strong intra and
intermolecular protein bonds leading to superior fixation by cross
linkages.
Glutaraldehyde has been suggested as an alternative to formocresol in
primary tooth pulpotomy.
Histologic assessment of glutaraldehyde pulpotomy technique by
Kopel.,et al. revealed that a 2% solution results in maintenance of
pulp vitality beneath an initial zone of fixation.
Clinical results on human primary teeth treated by 2% glutaraldehyde
pulpotomy demonstrated 96% of success over the first 2years.
A Systemic Review of the Materials Used in Primary Teeth Pulpotomy in Children Rajendran Ganesh.
24. Anesthetize the tooth and isolate with rubber dam
After complete removal of carious dentin, a high speed round bur is
used to enter the pulp chamber and the pulp amputation is
performed.
A sterile dry cotton pellet is used to pack the pulp stump.
A cotton pellet moistened with the designated glutaraldehyde
preparation is squeezed dry ,and pressed tightly against the pulp
stump for 5 minutes.
A thick mixed zinc oxide eugenol dressing with a drop of the
glutaraldehyde preparation is then placed in the pulp chamber.
25. IRM (Intermediate Restorative Material) or glass ionomer cement
can be used as the sealing material.
The stainless steel crown or resin restoration can be performed at the
same visit or within 2 weeks.
The clinical success requirements are:
Patients should be free of tooth mobility, pain, swelling, or sinus tract
condition.
Glutaraldehyde preparations and pulpotomy in primary molars by Tzong-Ping Tsai
et.al.
26.
27. Ferric sulphate (15.5%) causes coagulation of the tissues at the
entrances of the root canals.
Agglutination of blood proteins results from the reaction of blood
with both ferric and sulfate ions.
Ferric sulphate is proposed as a pulpotomy agent on the theory
that its mechanism of controlling hemorrhage might minimize the
chances of inflammation and internal resorption (Schroeder) to be
associated with physiologic clot formtaion.
28. Fuks., et al.found similar results between formocresol and ferric
sulphate in inflammation response, periradicular or interradicular
abscess, root resorption, and dentin bridge formation.
Fei., et al. found ferric sulphate to produce greater clinical and
radiographical success after 1 year than did formocresol.
More recently Smith., et al. (2000) evaluated the long term
success rates of ferric sulphate pulpotomies in dental practice.
29. Anesthetize the tooth and isolate with rubber dam
Ferric sulphate 15.5% (Fe2(SO4)3) is applied for 15 seconds.
The pulp cavity is then to be washed with saline in order to remove
any pieces of blood clot formation.
Dry it with sterile cotton pellet and the pulp stumps can be now
covered with ZOE paste.
Permanent restorations can be given

IBRICEVIC et.al
30. Laser therapeutic pulpotomy offers a more biologically
acceptable and effective alternative to chemicals like
Formocresol.
Not only does laser treatment offer a non-
pharmacologic hemostatic technique, it has a higher
success rate.

33. MTA is composed of:
Tricalcium silicate
Tricalcium aluminate
Tricalcium oxide
Silicate oxide.
MTA has demonstrated the ability to induce hard-
tissue formation in pulpal tissues.
MTA has a greater ability to maintain the integrity
of pulp tissue.
A Systemic Review of the Materials Used in Primary Teeth Pulpotomy in Children Rajendran Ganesh.
34. Histologic evaluation of pulpal tissue in animals and humans
demonstrated that MTA produces a thicker dentinal bridge, less
inflammation, less hyperaemia and less pulpal necrosis compared
with calcium hydroxide.
MTA also appears to induce the formation of a dentin bridge at a
faster rate than does calcium hydroxide.
Holland and colleagues theorized that the tricalcium oxide in MTA
reacts with tissue fluids ability of MTA to resist the penetration of
microorganisms.

36. Deep carious lesion with restorable crown
No obvious signs of pulpal degeneration
Successful hemorrhage control within 5 min
Color of hemorrhage: Bright red indicate inflamed
pulp where as red indicate extensive infection and
pulpal degeneration
Carious or iatrogenic pulpal exposure.
37. Calcium hydroxide is a white, crystalline, slightly
soluble basic salt that dissociates into calcium ions and
hydroxyl ions in solution and exhibits a high alkalinity
(pH 11).
The high pH produces an environment that is not
conducive to bacterial growth.
A Systemic Review of the Materials Used in Primary Teeth Pulpotomy in Children Rajendran Ganesh.
38. There are three mechanisms by which calcium
hydroxide induces bacterial lysis:
• The hydroxyl ions destroys phospholipids so the cellular
membrane is destroyed;
• The high alkalinity breaks down ionic bonds so that
bacterial proteins are denatured;
• The hydroxyl ions react with bacterial DNA, inhibiting
replication.
A Systemic Review of the Materials Used in Primary Teeth Pulpotomy in Children Rajendran Ganesh.
39. Indications
• Young permanent tooth owing to its less cellular activity
than the primary
• Mechanical, Carious, Traumatic exposure with
incomplete apical closure
Contraindications
• Not recommended for primary teeth
-Diffuse inflammation
-Internal resorption— Tronstad1988
40. Anesthesia, isolation
Caries removed
Deroofing the pulp chamber
Coronal pulp amputation
Control of haemorrhage
Ca(OH)2 placed over the orifice and dried with cotton pellet
Quick setting ZOE cement placed over it
Stainless steel crown (post. teeth) ; Restoration / composite
(ant. teeth)
41. The rationale of this technique is the tissue of the coronal
pulp is removed during pulpal amputation, a layer of
coagulation necrosis carried by the electro surgery
application provides a barrier between healthy radicular
tissue and any base material placed in the pulp chamber.
The odontoblasts are stimulated to form a dentin bridge
and the tooth is maintained in the arch with vital
radicular tissue until it exfoliates.
43. Local anesthesia and isolation with a rubber dam
Pulp chamber opened
Coronal pulp removed
Pulp hemostasis obtained
Electrosurgical current applied for 2 - 5sec to pulp stump

44. Cvek described a pulpotomy technique where only
the superficial 2 to 3 mm of hyperplastic inflammed
tissue was removed with a water-cooled high-speed
diamond bur to place wound in a healthy site.
Hemostasis is then secured before capping with an
appropriate material.
If hemostasis could not be secured after several
minutes of saline-moistened cotton pellet application,
the preparation is checked carefully for residual
superficial tags of bleeding tissue which had not been
fully removed .
45. Persistent bleeding from an inflamed pulp usually
indicates that the tissue should be resected at a deeper
level to preserve a vital apical pulp stump and then it
should be followed by hemostasis with saline and a
pulp capping agent.
However, Histopathologically better results have been
shown more recently with MTA as an pulp capping
agent.
MTA is thus recommended as a pulp-capping agent of
choice in cases that do not extend deeply into the roots.
Cohen’s Pathway of Pulp
46. A small and recent pulpal exposure upto approximately 14 days in a
non carious Primary incisors.
A sufficient tooth structure is present to allow proper restoration and
full coverage of the crown with a bonded resin- composite/strip crown.
Partial pulpotomy is highly indicated in a very young tooth with a
wide- open apex and very thin root dentin walls.
The decisive factor for selection of the partial pulpotomy and its
success is a healthy, non inflammed and asymptomatic vital pulp.
During the procedure, an operative diagnosis should be made by
assessing the pulp with regard to the bleeding from the amputation site,
including the color, viscosity, and ability of the tissue to achieve
hemostasis.
47. Exposure is very large or when more than 2 weeks and
gone beyond the injury and treatment time allowing
oral contaminants to cause extensive infection or
inflammation beyond 2 to 3 mm of the exposure

50. Anesthetized and isolated the tooth with a rubber dam.
The exposed pulp and surrounding dentin are flushed clean with
isotonic saline solution.
The superficial layer of the exposed pulp and the surrounding tissue
excised to a depth of 2 mm using a high-speed diamond bur.
The surface of the remaining pulp is irrigated with isotonic saline
along with gentle application of small sterile cotton pellets for 5
minutes until the bleeding is arrested.
Freshly mixed Biodentine is immediately placed over the exposed
pulp, following which it is allowed to set for 20 minutes. The exposed
dentin and Biodentine then restored.

57. STUDIES CONCLUSION
Laser Pulpotomy—An Effective Alternative to
Conventional Techniques: A 12 Months
Clinicoradiographic Study 1 Garima Gupta
Laser pulpotomy showed better clinical as well
as radiographical results than ES and FS
pulpotomy. Laser pulpotomy was also found
superior in terms of operating time, patient
cooperation, ease of use and pain.
In 1985, Ebihara reported the effects of
Nd:YAG laser on the wound healing of
amputated pulps.
Reported better wound healing in pulps exposed
to the laser than in controls during the first
week and facilitation of dentinal bridge
formation in the fourth and twelfth
postoperative weeks .

pulpotomy and formocresol pulpotomy on
human primary molars Shan-li Pei,2020
No significant difference of clinical and

58. A successful pulpotomy outcome should be based on
freedom from pathologic root resorption; maintenance
of the primary teeth in an infection free state to hold
space for the eruption of its permanent successor.
The material, MTA may be useful as a substitute for
other materials in pulpotomy procedures.
