Steroid-induced inflammatory papillary hyperplasia?-A new entity in a non-denture wearing patient.

Key Clinical Message: Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia can be seen in a non-denture-wearing patient also therfore other etiologies need to be explored as well.

Abstract: Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia (IPH) is a benign lesion of the palatal mucosa, usually found in denture wearers. This case history report describes an example of the dentate patients with no history of wearing maxillary prostheses and highlights the importance of professional awareness to diagnose IPH among non-denture-wearing patients.

White sponge nevus of the oral cavity: Affecting members of two generations in a family.

The typical feature is the autosomal dominant heritance and clinically dormant, non-scarpalble, white diffuse, soft, thickened white plaques with a corrugated surface affecting mostly the buccal mucosa bilaterally which can substantially lead to the diagnosis of white sponge nevus.

Assessment of Condylar Shape through Digital Panoramic Radiograph among Nepalese Population: A Proposal for Classification.

Background: Panoramic radiograph is the first and most commonly advised radiograph for screening of temporomandibular joints/condyles. Different shapes of the mandible have been discussed by various authors with no consensus for a definite classification for condyle shape. This study was conducted with the objective to observe various shapes of condyles, symmetry of bilateral condyles, and variations of condyle shapes among males and females.

Relationship of Clinical Features with Candidal Carriage in Oral Submucous Fibrosis Patients: A Case-control Study.

Background And Objectives: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is extensively prevalent in India and South-East Asia owing to the habit of arecanut (AN) use. Epithelial atrophy, hyposalivation, and immune alterations in OSF may predispose to increased Candidal carriage. Stomatopyrosis in OSF can result from multiple causes, which may also include Candidal infection.
