Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the accuracy of measuring root dentin translucency (RDT) in single rooted teeth (SRT) versus double rooted teeth (DRT) for age estimation.
- 120 freshly extracted teeth were examined, with equal representation of SRT and DRT, focusing on the measurement of sclerotic dentin through specialized imaging techniques.
- Results indicated that while there was no significant difference in effectiveness between SRT and DRT, DRT yielded more accurate age estimates with a smaller average age discrepancy.
Abnormalities in nuclear morphology are very frequently seen in dysplasia, such as nuclear area, diameter, shape, number of nucleoli and membrane outline. The purpose of this study was to observe and compare the nuclear features in different grades of epithelial dysplasia in leukoplakia and to evaluate the use of Feulgen stain for observing the nuclear features in oral epithelial dysplasia in leukoplakia. Seventy paraffin embedded tissue section (20 mild, 20 moderate, 20 severe dysplasia cases and 10 control specimens) were analyzed for nuclear morphology using Feulgen stain under trinocular research microscope.
