In a patient with a suspected STEMI, the characteristic ECG findings include ST elevation in the anterolateral leads (I, aVL, V1-V6) and reciprocal ST depression in the inferior leads (II, III, aVF). The pattern of ST elevation in the anterolateral leads with reciprocal depression in the inferior leads is most indicative of a STEMI affecting the anterolateral wall of the heart.

Home bleach is also called walking bleach, specifically referring to the technique used for non-vital teeth where bleaching agent is sealed inside the tooth and the patient "walks around" with it between appointments. The walking bleach technique involves: 1) Placing sodium perborate or hydrogen peroxide inside the pulp chamber, 2) Sealing the access cavity with temporary restoration, 3) Patient returns after 3-7 days for evaluation, 4) Process repeated until desired shade is achieved. This differs from thermocatalytic and power bleach which are in-office techniques.

Oral Surgery

Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is a clinical diagnosis.

History: Patients typically report severe, throbbing pain starting 2–4 days after extraction, often radiating to the ear or temple.

Clinical examination: Empty socket with exposed bone, absence of clot, foul odor, and tenderness.

Radiographs: Usually not diagnostic for dry socket. They are only used to rule out retained root fragments or other pathology.

History supports the diagnosis, but the definitive diagnosis is made clinically by examining the socket.

Periodontics

The apically positioned flap is a standard periodontal surgical procedure.

It increases clinical crown length by exposing more tooth surface.

It preserves the width of attached gingiva, which is a key advantage of the technique.

It is effective for pocket elimination or reduction.

It is more commonly performed on the buccal (cheek) and lingual (tongue) sides of the teeth, where there is sufficient attached gingiva.

Due to the anatomical limitations and lack of attached gingiva, it is generally contraindicated or less commonly done on the palatal (roof of the mouth) side.

Marsupialization is a surgical procedure often used for cysts or abscesses. While it does have several advantages, such as minimal exposure of bone and preservation of vital structures, it is not typically associated with rapid healing. The healing process can be prolonged compared to other surgical techniques because it involves creating a permanent opening for drainage, which may take time to close completely.

Huntington's disease is a relatively rare genetic disorder with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 10,000 individuals. It is an autosomal dominant condition, meaning that a person only needs to inherit one copy of the mutated gene from a parent to develop the disease. The onset is typically in the fourth or fifth decade of life, and it is characterized by chorea, behavioral disturbances, and progressive cognitive decline.
