Biochemistry
Anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood
cells or a reduction in their oxygen-carrying capacity. Vitamin B12 and folic
acid are essential for the production of red blood cells. Deficiencies in these
vitamins can lead to megaloblastic anemia, where the bone marrow produces
abnormally large and immature red blood cells.

EndodonticsFor an 8-year-old child with fractured maxillary central incisor showing no pulp response after 10 months with no periapical lesion, the treatment of choice is complete debridement and apexification. This is because: 1) The immature root has an open apex requiring apexification, 2) Non-responsive pulp indicates necrosis requiring debridement, 3) Absence of periapical lesion suggests early intervention, 4) Apexification allows root end closure for proper obturation, 5) Conventional RCT cannot be done with open apex. Calcium hydroxide is typically used for apexification in such cases.
