Patient-Reported Outcomes of Dental Implants in Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study on Quality of Life and Satisfaction.

Introduction: Dental implants provide a durable solution for missing teeth and improve mastication, speech, and quality of life (QoL). However, systemic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), may affect implant success. This study evaluated patient satisfaction (PS) and QoL as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following dental implant therapy in T2DM patients.

Binocular Vision Status in Coal Miners.

Context: Low light in mines can cause ocular problems such as binocular vision impairment and poor hand-eye coordination. These eye diseases must be monitored.

Aims: To evaluate the binocular vision status of coal mine workers.

Transformation of a Glandular Odontogenic Cyst into an Ameloblastoma: A Uncommon Phenomenon with a Review of Documented Cases.

Glandular odontogenic cysts(GOC) are among the rarest odontogenic cysts defined by the presence of glandular epithelium in the epithelial lining posing some diagnostic difficulties. GOC associated with ameloblastoma is extremely rare with only 5 cases reported. This report deals with this rare occurrence of GOC along with unicystic ameloblastoma.

A Case Report with Current Updates and Immunohistochemistry Features of Intraosseous Schwannoma.

Schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheath neoplasms that grow slowly and arise from Schwann cells. Here we report a case of an intraosseous schwannoma, with recent updates of molecular characterization and immunohistochemical data, affecting the left mandibular ramus featuring multilocular well-defined radiolucency making it difficult to diagnose.

B-cell Follicular Lymphoid Hyperplasia (Pseudolymphoma) of the Oral Cavity: A Diagnostic Quandary.

Pseudolymphoma is a reactive process involving lymphadenopathy, polyclonal proliferation of B or T-cells, simulating oral lymphoma. With its incidence being very rare, only four cases have been reported in oral cavity with the detailed immunocytochemical examination, which can be due to this entity's unawareness, underdiagnosis or overdiagnosis. It is prerogative to perform immunocytochemical investigations to prevent overdiagnosis as lymphoma, which can be debilitating to the patient.

Metamorphosis of Dentigerous cyst: A case Series with Insight into Molecular Profiling.

The objective of this study was to review the clinical, radiologic, and histologic aspects of cases of dentigerous cysts metamorphosing into different entities along with comments on the molecular factors involved in the process. A series comprising 8 cases of dentigerous cysts was performed retrospectively along with a comprehensive literature review. Two cases of dentigerous cyst converting into mucous metaplasia were included, out of which one case was transformed into ameloblastoma after a year.

Nitrofurantoin-melamine monohydrate (cocrystal hydrate): Probing the role of H-bonding on the structure and properties using quantum chemical calculations and vibrational spectroscopy.

Cocrystal monohydrate of nitrofurantoin (NF) with melamine (MELA) has been studied as NF is an antibacterial drug used for the treatment of urinary tract infections. The structure of nitrofurantoin-melamine-monohydrate (NF-MELA-HO) is characterized by FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopy. The energies and vibrational frequencies of the optimized structures calculated using quantum chemical calculations.
