Background and aim: Craniofacial and airway structures are visible in lateral cephalometric radiography. Witt's appraisal and ANB angle are cephalometric analysis indicators, which play essential roles in diagnosing class III malocclusion. In the current study, the correlations among Witt's and ANB cephalometric indices and the upper pharyngeal airway width has been investigated in individuals with class III malocclusion.Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 110 lateral cephalometric radiographs of 11-14-year-old patients during 2017-2020. The upper pharyngeal airway width was determined by p index (the shortest distance between the soft palate and the posterior pharyngeal wall) and the t index (the shortest distance between the tongue base and the posterior pharyngeal wall) through lateral cephalometric radiography. The data were designated by central tendency indicators and measures of dispersion. The Shapiro-Wilk test evaluated data normality. Also, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used to determine the correlation rate.Results: Investigating the correlations among indicators showed a direct but dramatically low relationship in ANB and p values and Witt's and p values. However, these relationships were not statistically significant. There was also an inverse linear relationship between ANB and t values and Witt's and t values. Nevertheless, the results showed the mean values of p, t, ANB, and Witt's indices were higher in females than males, yet, the differences in p and ANB values were not statistically significant.Conclusion: Results showed the correlation coefficients among the upper pharyngeal airway width, and ANB and Witt's analyses were not significant. These results can reinforce the probability of class III malocclusion inheritance.

Background and aim: Wisdom tooth surgery, as one of the most routine surgeries, has various complications and difficulties for which there is no comprehensive remedy that can compromise all the side effects.Materials and methods: Low-level laser therapy is a recently recommended method with inconsistent results in different studies done past few decades, but it can be the treatment of choice. By a strategic search of keywords in PUBMED, MEDLINE, and GOOGLE SCHOLAR, 72 articles were explored.Results: Seventeen randomized clinical trials and preliminary articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, such as the coordination of articles with the concept, full-text availability, and clinical trials. (application of laser in fields other than surgery is an exclusion criterion) The data were sorted as four tables after perusal of all the pick-up papers.Conclusion: Through different sketching of studies and laser applications used, other outcomes are justifiable and reasonable.

Background and aim: The recent meta-analysis and systematic review concentrated on the retraction of canine teeth. There was no previous meta-analysis or systematic review to evaluate the effects of micro-osteoperforations on the maxillary molar distalization. The present meta-analysis and systematic review were intended to assess the effect of micro-osteoperforatio on the tooth movement rate and the level of pain on the miniscrew-supported maxillary molar distalization.Materials and methods: From the electronic databases, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, ISI have been used to perform systematic literature until July 2020. Therefore, a software program (Endnote X8) has been utilized for managing electronic titles. Searches were performed with mesh terms. The Cochrane Collaboration tool was deployed to assess the quality of the randomized clinical trials that were included. We also used SYRCLE's (SYRCLE’s RoB tool is an adapted version of the Cochrane RoB tool.) risk of tool bias for animal interventional studies was included. Mean differences between the two groups (MOP and without MOP) with a 95% confidence interval (CI), fixed-effect model, and Inverse-variance method were calculated.Results: Totally, 65 potentially relevant studies were found in the electronic search according to their titles and abstracts. Lastly, merely three publications were eligible according to the inclusion criteria of the current systematic review. In humans, the mean difference of tooth movement was (MD, 0.00mm 95% CI -0.00, and 0.00. P= 0.58) among one study.Conclusion: Animal studies showed positive effects and statistically significant of micro-osteoperforation interventions on tooth movement.

Background and aim: Considering the results of studies and the potential of using favipiravir treatment of COVID-19, reviewing the results of clinical trial studies and summarizing the results are of great importance. It may be possible to use favipiravir extensively in the future. Therefore, the purpose of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the improvement rates of favipiravir treatment in patients with COVID-19.Materials and methods: From the electronic databases, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, ISI have been used to perform systematic literature between 2010 and 2020. Therefore, a software program (Endnote X8) has been utilized for managing electronic titles. Searches were performed with mesh terms. The odds ratio between the two groups (Favipiravir and control) with a 95% confidence interval was calculated. Random effects were used to deal with potential heterogeneity, and I2 showed heterogeneity. The Meta-analysis and forest plots have been evaluated using a software program available in the market (i.e., Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Stata V16).Results: According to the research design, 186 potentially important research abstracts and titles have been discovered in our electronic searches. Finally, two papers remained in agreement with our inclusion criteria required. Statistically, a significant difference observed between improvement rates of the Favipiravir group and control group (p=0.01).Conclusion: Positive effect and improvement rates of favipiravir VS control groups observed to treat patients with COVID-19.

Epidermoid cysts account for approximately 80% of follicular skin cysts. They are considered a benign condition that can occur anywhere in the body; in the microscopic examination, this cyst reveals a cavity lined by stratified squamous epithelium resembling an epidermis, a lumen filled with degenerating orthokeratin. It is sporadic in the oral cavity, representing only 1.6% of all cysts. Its appearance in the buccal mucosa has been poorly reported. The purpose of this article is to describe a case of a 22-year-old male with an epidermoid cyst in this unusual location. This entity should not be ruled out of lesions that may occur in the oral cavity, even when its incidence is extremely low.

Scabies is defined as a pruritic skin condition caused by an infestation of itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei that is exceptionally contagious; however, there is no exact figure on its prevalence. A six-year-old girl was presented to the Dermatology department of Zahid Maiwand clinic in Kandahar City, Afghanistan. The chief complaint of patient was severe itch at night and rashes on the skin. The skin lesions were "face and body papules, papulovesicles, pustules, nodules, and seborrhea for 15 days" in May of 2020. Ten days ago, the girl was diagnosed as COVID-19 after a PCR test; the patient's fever and body aches were slowly subsiding while the rash started to appear; it was extremely itchy at night; after taking a complete history. It was found that other family members were also showing scabies symptoms such as itching at night and small burrow type skin lesions. We referred the patient for a microscopic examination of some lesions to look for mites and burrows.

Pascual-Castroviejo syndrome or Cerebro-facial-thoracic dysplasia is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by mental retardation, typical facies, brachycephaly, calcified clinoid ligaments, and deformities of the superior rib arches. Its etiology is not entirely clear, but an association with a mutation in the TMC01 gene has been reported. On the other hand, the dentigerous cyst is the odontogenic cyst of the most common development in the jaws. It results from the accumulation of fluid between the reduced epithelium of the enamel and the crown. They are generally solitary lesions, rare to find them bilaterally and multiple, and not reported in the literature about this syndrome. This article presents a bilateral dentigerous cyst description in the mandible of a patient with Pascual-Castroviejo syndrome. A 14-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of cerebro-fascio-thoracic dysplasia (Pascual-Castroviejo syndrome), presenting a bilateral lesion in the posterior mandible, with a year of evolution. An incisional biopsy was performed in the larger lesion, and the diagnosis was a dentigerous cyst. Subsequently, under general anesthesia, enucleation and curettage of the lesions associated with the second and third molars of the first, second, and third quadrant were performed, along with the involved teeth' extraction. Periodic postoperative controls were carried out, and after six months, there were no signs of recurrence. The appearance of cystic lesions of the jaws associated with the Pascual-Castroviejo syndrome is rare. Further genetic studies are crucial to determine the association between both entities.
