Introduction: A set of evenly shaped anterior teeth and good soft tissue (pink) to tooth (white) ratio makes a harmonious and pleasing smile. Peg lateral is one of the most common morphological anomalies in the Indian population with an incidence of 9.14% has been recorded. Case Summary: Minimally invasive bonded restorations were planned to transform the smile of a 36-year-old male patient, who presented with peg laterals causing a dissatisfied smile. A pleasing smile was achieved with smile designing, use of LASERs and ceramic veneers. Ceramics veneers have a 20 year long tested clinical survival rate of 91.73%. Conclusion: Minimal preparation ceramic veneers can be the ideal conservative management for diastema caused due to morphological aberrations when case selection is done meticulously.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to determine the occurrence of intestinal parasites among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive and negative groups. Materials and Methods: A case–control study was conducted in four semi-urban areas in Nasarawa State. The study enrolled 422 participants. Stool samples were collected and examined for the presence of intestinal parasites. Blood sample was collected to investigate for HIV infection. Results: The overall prevalence of intestinal infections among HIV-positive individuals was 37.7% (78/207). For geohelminth infections, HIV-positive individuals were more commonly infected by hookworm at a rate of 9.7% (20/207). For Protozoa infections, HIV-positive groups were identified more with Giardia lamblia , at a rate of 8.2% (17/207). The binary logistic regression showed that factors significantly associated with parasite infections among HIV-positive individuals included being under 43 years of age (odds ratio [OR] = 2.192, confidence interval [CI]: 0.082, 3.736) and subjects with diarrhea (OR = 1.521, CI: 0.112, 2.891) for geohelminth parasite. While in the case of Protozoa infections, parasitic infections are higher among study subjects with diarrhea (OR = 1.767, CI: 0.111, 3.009). Conclusion: HIV-positive individuals are more susceptible to coinfections with hookworm (geohelminth) and G. lamblia ( Protozoa ), which are more prevalent among those with poor personal hygiene habits. This indicates a need for an integrated approach to hygiene promotion, surveillance, and treatment.
