Unlabelled: The histopathological examination of mineralized tissues requires decalcification of teeth which is an essential and important step during tissue processing. In the present study we attempted to decalcify teeth using strong and weak acids and a chelating agent with various methods to identify completion of decalcification along with the observance of weight loss percentage of a tooth.
Aim: To compare decalcification with conventional decalcification method with strong acid, weak acids and a chelating agent with respect to preservation of tissue structure, efficacy of staining in association with weight change.
The micronucleus assay in the oral exfoliated cells of tannery workers.
J Oral Maxillofac Pathol
January 2019
Context: Micronuclei, tannery workers, chromium, papanicolaou (PAP) stain.
Aims: The presence of micronuclei are biomarkers broadly used; the detection of micronuclei offers a great opportunity to monitor individuals or populations exposed to mutagenic, genotoxic or teratogenic events, mainly the evaluation of micronucleogenic cells presence in epithelial tissues.
Settings And Design: Tannery workers with and without tobacco usage was considered for microneuceli assessment using PAP stain, 50 patients without usage of tobacco was taken and 50 patients with usage of tobacco was considered.
Context: , leukoplakia and oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Aims: The aim of the present study has assessed the association of with normal control group, leukoplakia and oral squamous cell carcinoma lesions of the oral cavity by using cornmeal broth +5% milk and milk serum liquid culture media.
Settings And Design: Thepresent study comprised of total 80 patients, which included, 30 patients of Leukoplakia, 30 patients of oral squamous cell carcinoma and normal control group comprised of 20 healthy individuals who were not having any relevant medical, dental and habit history.
