Background: Skeletal maturation is an integral part of individual pattern of growth and development and is a continuous process. Peak growth velocity in standing height is the most valid representation of the rate of overall skeletal growth. Ossification changes of hand wrist and cervical vertebrae are the reliable indicators of growth status of individual.

Aims: The aim of this study is to amplify the chosen region (799 G >T) of MSX 1 gene, investigate the degree of association and perform a mutation research from Raichur cleft lip and palate patient sample.
Introduction: Non-syndromic tooth agenesis is a congenital anomaly with significant medical, psychological, and social ramifications. There is sufficient evidence to hypothesize that locus for this condition can be identified by candidate genes.
Aim Of The Study: The aim of this study was to test whether MSX1 671 T > C gene variant was involved in etiology of non-syndromic tooth agenesis in Raichur patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between the MSX1 671 T>C gene variant and Non Syndromic tooth agenesis in patients from Raichur, highlighting the potential genetic basis of this condition.
- Blood samples were collected from 50 patients with Non Syndromic tooth agenesis and 50 controls for genomic analysis through PCR and RFLP techniques.
- The findings indicate a significant correlation between the MSX1 gene variant and tooth agenesis, suggesting it may serve as a useful screening marker for the condition.
Article Synopsis
- Impaction of teeth is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and radiographs are essential for assessing their type and location.
- Recent advancements, particularly cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), improve visualization and diagnosis of impacted teeth by providing detailed 3D images of bone thickness, tooth position, and morphology.
- A case study of a 27-year-old male with multiple impacted teeth demonstrates that CBCT can enhance treatment planning and prognostic accuracy, leading to better patient outcomes.
Aim: The aim is to compare and evaluate the airway dimension changes, adenoidal nasopharyngeal ratio (ANR), airway area and airway percentage in patients in pre- and postadenoidectomy with normal individuals.
Materials And Methods: After obtaining informed consent, a sample of 15 patients (eight males and seven females) of 7 to 12 years were selected for adenoidectomy by an otolaryngologist, lateral cephalograms were taken in natural head position before adenoidectomy and after 1 month postadenoidectomy. Statastical analysis was done to evaluate the results using Statastical Package for Social Sciences.
