ABSTRACT
Rieger's syndrome which is a congenital progressive, autosomally dominant, ophthalmic anomaly has certain associated somatic dentofacial and systemic features. These extra dentofacial and systemic findings can play very important role in diagnosing this syndrome so as to prevent the ocular complications. This article reports such a case in a 20-yr-old woman and discusses somatic features along with the clinical importance of early diagnosis.

In this study, clinical performance of Dentinal slot, Amalgapin & Pin Retained Amalgam restoration was evaluated. The study was performed in 20 patients requiring extensive restoration. Clinical evaluation was done by two caliberated experts at 6 months, one year, & one & half year duration. It was concluded that Dentinal slot restorations showed better clinical performance than the Pin retained restorations. However results of Amalgapin restorations were not that promising.

Two cases of the accidental swallowing of endodontic instruments have been reported. The instrument passed naturally through the alimentary canal within 4 days in the first case and within 2 weeks in the second case. Routine use of the rubber dam will prevent this type of accident.
