Management of internal and external root resorption in primary teeth of a 3‐year‐old with myelomeningocele: A case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a severe manifestation of spina bifida. Children with MMC have motor disability, hydrocephalus, skeletal abnormalities, and mental retardation. These individuals are more susceptible to caries due to poor oral hygiene, carbohydrate‐rich diet, prolonged use of sugar‐containing medications and limited motor abilities. Latex allergy is an important factor to be considered during the dental rehabilitation of such patients. Case Report A 3‐year‐old girl visited the dental clinic with the chief complaint of multiple carious teeth and H/o neural tube defect (NTD) which had been operated on at the age of 6 weeks. On dental examination, multiple dental abscesses and severe early childhood caries were noted. Radiographic evaluation revealed internal root resorption of tooth “K” and external root resorption of tooth “T.” The two teeth were treated with ledermix paste followed by obturation with Vitapex® (Diadent Group International Inc., Burnaby, BC, Canada) along with triple antibiotic paste and placement of stainless steel crown (SSC). A latex‐free environment was maintained during the entire treatment to prevent allergic reaction. A follow up after 42 months indicated clinical and radiographical success. Conclusion The paper reports succesfull management of internal and external root resorption as well as latex allergy in a dental operatory. The dental perspective while dealing with patients having NTD is limited. Explaining the particulars of the treatment plan will aid in management of such cases .

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
