Currently, transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty approach is the reference standard in the surgical reconstruction of pelvic fracture urethral distraction defects. The approach is suitable for all but the most complex cases which might require abdominoperineal approach. ⋯ Transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty for PFUDD is considered suitable technique for treatment of PFUDD with good surgical outcome.

In the domain of orthodontics, plaster models are contemplated as one of the important tools for diagnosis and treatment planning. In Dentistry, technological advancement has developed in the section of diagnostic devices, for example, the utilization of a 3D intraoral scanner, which can convert plaster models into digital models. With in-office utilization of this system, orthodontists can more meticulously and precisely construct custom braces, clear aligners, and orthodontic appliances. ⋯ ITero®element is the intraoral laser scanner (ILS) which utilizes parallel confocal scanning technology which maximizes the accuracy of the scan. By utilizing the iTero scanner, the dental measurement can be performed in OrthoCADTM software which is highly accurate. The objective of the contemporary study is to review the literature of studies on in-vivo and ex-vivo scanning with the iTero system.

Review Case Reports
A rare case of raoultella planticola peritonitis in a chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient and review of the literature.
Peritonitis is a common and serious complication of peritoneal dialysis and often primary factor of change over to hemodialysis treatment. Raoultella planticola is known as as environmental bacterium and rarely causes infections in humans. We present a case of peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis due to Raoultella planticola and review the clinical manifestations and treatment options of this microorganism. As far as we know, this is the third case of Raoultella planticola peritonitis in the literature.
