Multiple Idiopathic Cervical Resorption: A Case Report.

Multiple idiopathic cervical resorption (MICR) is a disease of the tooth in which there is progressive cervical resorption of multiple teeth leading to exfoliation of crown. The etiological factors for such a resorption are various but the lack of definitive single etiological factor/disease process makes management of such processes extremely difficult. A flap surgery followed by restoration with glass ionomer cement was carried out for the cessation of resorption process, finally a cast partial denture was delivered for prosthetic rehabilitation.

Occurrence of salmonellae in slaughtered pigs, goat meat, meat handlers and slaughtered-house workers.

Of 413 samples comprising 200 goat meat, 100 pig's faeces, 50 faeces of slaughtered-house workers, 13 faeces and 50 nailwashings of goat meat handlers collected from different shops of Calcutta Corporation, 25 (6.05 per cent) yielded 13 serotypes of salmonellae. The commonest serotypes was S. newport (24 per cent), followed by S. enteritidis (12 per cent), S. anatum (12 per cent) and S. typhimurium. Isolation rate of salmonellae was 12 (6 per cent) from goat meat, 10 (10 per cent) in pig's faeces and 3 (6 per cent) in nailwashings. S. newport (50 per cent) in goat meat and S. anatum (30 per cent) in faecal contents of pigs were the predominant serotypes. None of the faecal samples of goat meat handlers and slaughtered-house workers yielded salmonellae.
