Article Synopsis
  • Double facial talon's cusp is a rare dental anomaly that can lead to aesthetic issues and increased decay risk, necessitating early diagnosis and treatment.
  • A case was reported involving a 10-year-old girl with a significant double talon's cusp on her maxillary central incisor, leading to soft tissue irritation and aesthetic concerns; the cusps were classified using Mayes' system.
  • The authors propose a new classification for double facial talons based on size and developmental grooves, aiming to advance research on treatment options by exploring the structural differences in dental materials and preparation methods.

Aims And Objectives: The lowered antioxidant capacity and the oxidant-antioxidant imbalance have been considered to play a role in multistage carcinogenesis. The deleterious effects produced by reactive oxygen species depend on the imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant status in the body, so this study is aimed to evaluate the levels of antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), in the blood and tumor tissues of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients in comparison with healthy controls.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised of 38 participants divided into two groups.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of routine Papanicolaou stain (PAP) and Silver stained Nucleolar Organizer Regions (AgNOR) staining in brush biopsies taken from suspected oral lesions for early detection of oral cancer.

Materials And Methods: Brush biopsies were collected from macroscopically suspicious lesions of the oral cavity of 34 patients and 10 normal-aged and sex-matched controls. The numbers of AgNORs were counted in 100 squamous epithelial cell nuclei per slide after silver staining of the smears (Ploton's one-step method).
