CASE REPORT
Interdisciplinary Management of Aggressive Periodontitis
Volume 49 : Number 9 : Page 597 : Sep 2015
Aggressive periodontitis involves rapid periodontal destruction in otherwise healthy individuals - generally younger patients, though older individuals may also be affected. If it is not diagnosed early and treated appropriately, generalized aggressive periodontitis can lead to early tooth loss. The clinical appearance and pattern of destruction may vary; the most common complaints are recently noticed flaring, progressive spacing, and mobility of the anterior teeth. Such an occurrence not only affects the patient's function and esthetics, but can also be detrimental to self-esteem.

CASE REPORT
Retreatment of a Class II Patient with Short-Root Anomaly
Volume 49 : Number 10 : Page 0 : Oct 2015
Short-root anomaly is an idiopathic condition that can occasionally be associated with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. It affects about 1.3% of the population and is more prevalent in women. Caused by incomplete root development rather than resorptive processes, it is usually confined to the upper incisors or premolars, but may sometimes affect the entire dentition, when it is known as generalized short-root anomaly. Short-root anomalies may be associated with systemic conditions such as dysplasia type 1, scleroderma, thalassemia, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Aarskog syndrome, Down syndrome, or Rothmund-Thomson syndrome.
