RESUMO
Visual and auditory simple reaction times were measured in Sri Lankan young adults to see the effect of dual-tasking on reaction time. Reaction times were measured using a reaction time program in a computer. Subjects responded to stimuli by pressing the spacebar with their dominant index finger. Visual and auditory simple reaction times (ms) in males (mean±SD) were 293.5±42.4, 302.2±41.9 respectively. In females respective values were 315.1±55.5, 313.1±45. Males had statistically significant faster reaction times (p<0.05) than females. The type of stimuli had no statistically significant effect (p>0.05) within the same sex. Dualtasking significantly increases (p<0.05) both reaction times in both sexes. In females, dual-tasking affects simple auditory reaction time significantly more than simple visual reaction time (p<0.05).
RESUMO
Cleidocranial dysplasias is an autosomal dominant disorder that presents with skeletal dysplasia. The dental manifestations are mainly delayed exfoliation of primary teeth and delayed eruption of permanent teeth, with multiple impacted supernumeraries. This report addresses the complex nature of the treatment modalities. In our patient, surgical exposure of unerupted teeth was done with orthodontic traction. Post-surgical follow-up was uneventful.

Ascariasis is caused by the roundworm, Ascaris lumbricoides. We report an additional case of live Ascaris lumbricoides removed from the lacrimal puncta of a 10-year-old boy.
