    TOEFL has played a very important role in predicting students’ academic performance. However, very limited research has specifically addressed the relationship between the TOEFL reading section and students’ critical reading comprehension, as most existing studies predominantly focused on the correlation between overall TOEFL scores and students’ academic performance in general, such as GPA. This research examined the correlation between TOEFL reading score and critical reading comprehension of TBI students at UIN Datokarama Palu. A quantitative approach through correlational design was employed with 30 students as participants. Data were collected by using TOEFL reading test and GPA of critical reading comprehension course of students. Pearson product moment correlation was used to analyze the data. The results revealed a significant positive moderate correlation (r = 0.587, p = 0.01) between two variables. Reflecting that as one variable increases, the other variables tend to increase as well with a meaningful but not perfectly linear relationship. This indicates that students’ proficiency in the TOEFL reading section not only reflects their reading ability in English generally, but also correlates with their capacity to understand, analyze, interpret, and evaluate information in the reading text critically. By integrating TOEFL reading test into students’ critical reading exercises, educators can strengthen students’ critical reading comprehension that emphasizes determining main idea, identifying arguments, and evaluating evidences

    BackgroundCalcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a developmental odontogenic cystic lesion that is Lined by ameloblastoma Like epithelium, that includes focal ghost cells. COC is rare, representing less than 1% of odontogenic lesions. COCs are diagnosed at all ages and they have a mean age of about 30 years with a similar male and female genders distribution. The purpose of the present article is to present and discuss the diagnosis and management of a 91-year-old man affected by COCs.Case presentationA 91-year-old male subject was referred for a swelling in the left body of the mandible. Intraoral examination revealed a hard blueish swelling in correspondence of the lingual side of the left mandibular body, extended to the oral floor. It was decided to perform a CT scan, that revealed a well-defined, unilocular, radiolucent lesion extending from the lingual corticle of the left mandibular body to the oral floor. Under local anesthesia, the cyst underwent en bloc enucleation and curettage and was sent for pathological examination, that confirmed the diagnosis of calcifying odontogenic cyst.ConclusionsEnucleation with curettage still represents the treatment of choice for COCs. Resection may be considered in selected cases when an aggressive clinical behavior is observed or a high recurrence rate is suspected. A strict follow-up is advised to monitor eventual recurrences. In large lesions, or when the patient is affected by severe comorbidities, conservative treatments such as decompression and marsupialization may still be proposed
