Aggressive periodontitis

"longer" or more vertical bone defects compared to the typically
horizontal bone loss seen in chronic periodontitis. These
vertical defects can be quite severe and are a key diagnostic

Oral PathologyCervical sympathetic paralysis (Horners syndrome) causes anhidrosis of the homolateral (same) side of the face due to loss of sympathetic innervation to sweat glands. This results in decreased sweating on the affected side. Facial nerve trauma affects motor function, trigeminal nerve trauma affects sensation, and cerebral embolus affects central function, but none specifically cause unilateral facial anhidrosis.

PhysiologyMean Circulating Filling Pressure (MCFP) is a concept used in cardiovascular physiology to describe the average pressure in the large veins and the right atrium when the heart is not actively pumping (i.e., during diastole or when the heart is stopped). It reflects the pressure that fills the heart and is influenced by the volume of blood in the circulatory system and the compliance of the vascular system.

EndodonticsLoss of Coronal Structure: During endodontic treatment, the coronal portion of the tooth may be significantly altered or reduced, especially if there is extensive decay or if a crown is required after treatment. The loss of tooth structure compromises the tooth's ability to withstand occlusal forces.
