Neonatal herpes simplex virus presenting with isolated liver failure

Disseminated neonatal herpes simplex virus infection usually presents with multi-organ involvement. Untreated, this disease has a mortality rate of approximately 80%. Here, we describe a well-appearing 3-week old infant with isolated compensated hepatic failure caused by HSV-2

A Modified Design for Posterior Inlay-Retained Fixed Dental Prosthesis

The aim of this paper is to report a clinical case with bilateral missing mandibular second premolars that were restored by metal-ceramic inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses. The first prosthesis was of a traditional design and the second was of a modified design. The suggested design is created by modifying the retainer wings of the traditional resin-bonded inlay-retained fixed dental prosthesis and covering the wings with composite resin. The modified design is relatively conservative, esthetic and provides an extra element for the retention of posterior metal-ceramic inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses
