Treatment of total genital prolapse in elderly patients is still controversial in terms of postoperative objective and subjective results. ⋯ Le Fort operation could be the intervention of choice in sexually inactive elderly patients with stage 3 or 4 pelvic organ prolapse.

Irrigant activation techniques, which are more effective in anatomically complex areas, can be used to maximize irrigant efficacy. ⋯ Within the scope of the study, using Irritrol or CHX as the final irrigation in the root canal treatment did not result in differences in the dislocation resistance of Biodentine to root canal dentin when PIPS and EDDY® were used.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a multisystem connective tissue disorder involving the cardiovascular, skeletal, and ocular systems. ⋯ The child's excessive growth pointed to the presence of gigantism in the very beginning. A duly identified problem of MFS in our patient at an early age contributed to the correct diagnosis and prevention of the development of amblyopia in the child.

Knee osteoarthritis, a chronic and degenerative joint disease, is more common among the growing elderly population. With the increasing life expectancy and obesity, the significance of knee osteoarthritis for public health has become more evident. ⋯ As the functional status of individuals improves, the quality of life increases too.

Review Case Reports
Management of a 20-year-old longstanding oroantral fistula: A case report and review of literature.
A systematic treatment plan and an appropriate selection of surgical technique are the critical requirements for an effective closure of oroantral fistula (OAF). A 45-year-old female patient had sinus opening after she underwent a surgical tooth extraction 20 years back. On her frequent visits to the dentists some attempts were made for closure including surgical intervention, only for the lesion to return back. ⋯ This technique provides immediate repair of the defect to the patient, and also maintains comparatively normal anatomic architecture to the oral cavity. Eight months postoperative follow-up revealed a complete closure of OAF without any complications. The findings of this case suggest that lateral sliding pedicle flap can be a conservative approach in managing a long-standing OAF.
