Abstract:
Tooth autotransplantation is performed in patients with congenitally missing teeth and those with traumatic tooth loss. We report a course of edgewise treatment of a girl with multiple congenitally missing teeth and residual features of ectodermal dysplasia, who was treated with autotransplantation of 2 premolars with developing roots. She was 8 years old at the beginning of the treatment. No signs of inflammation, root resorption, or pulp symptoms were observed during the 2.5 years of edgewise treatment after autotransplantation. Cervical external root resorption was detected 31 months postoperatively in 1 transplanted tooth (maxillary first premolar), and the same problem occurred in the other transplanted tooth (mandibular second premolar) 2 years later. Root canal treatment was immediately undertaken and resulted in inhibition of further pathology. Consequently, the survival of both transplanted teeth was achieved. The orthodontic treatment that included intervals related to diagnosis and treatment of root resorption of the transplanted premolars is described in detail.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
