Summary
Bilateral agenesis of upper lateral incisors presents challenges. A 2.9 mm diameter implant successfully rehabilitated a patient with limited bone, showing positive clinical and radiographic results after one year.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Implantology
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Agenesis of the upper lateral incisor is a common dental issue impacting aesthetics and function.
- This case addresses bilateral agenesis of teeth 1.2-2.2 in a 49-year-old male.
Observation:
- A root stump of tooth 5.2 was temporarily restored with a Maryland bridge.
- Orthodontic treatment was not pursued for the rehabilitation of tooth 1.2.
Findings:
- A 2.9 mm diameter implant was utilized for the prosthetic rehabilitation of tooth 1.2 due to limited bone availability.
- One-year clinical and radiographic follow-up demonstrated successful implant integration and gingival stability.
Implications:
- Small-diameter implants (2.9 mm) are a viable option for prosthetic rehabilitation in cases of extreme bone limitation.
- This approach offers a positive outcome for managing agenesis when conventional treatments are not feasible.

01:21Pilot and Numeric Relaying
489
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

01:24Data Reporting and Recording
5.4K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

02:11Reporter Genes
13.2K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.
