Ossifying Fibroma of Mandible - A Case Report.

Introduction: Ossifying fibromas are rare, non-aggressive benign tumours of the bone, commonly involving the posterior mandible in middle-aged individuals with a female predilection.

Findings: Clinical manifestations include asymptomatic expansion of the mandible with infrequent maxillary lesions, pain, malocclusion, and compromised quality of life including aesthetic perception. Owing to multiplicity of features, tendency of recurrence, and possibility of malignant transformation, the diagnosis, treatment, and post-operative management of ossifying fibroma are always a challenge.

Efficacy of Oral Colchicine and Intralesional Hyaluronidase with and without Ultrasound Therapy in the Management of Oral Submucous Fibrosis-A Comparative Study.

Aim: To determine the therapeutic effect and efficacy of oral colchicine tablet and intralesional injection of hyaluronidase with and without ultrasound therapy in the clinical course of oral submucous fibrosis.

Materials And Methods: This comparative study involving 45 human participants was divided into three equal groups. The participants in group 1 received oral colchicine and intralesional hyaluronidase.

Prevalence of Anemia: A Hospital-Based Diagnostic Study.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of anemia in female patients and its association with age, nutritional status, body mass index, number of children, intra-oral and extra-oral clinical finding.

Materials And Methods: A total of 1000 participants in various age groups were taken as sample, and a pro forma was used to collect data. Hemoglobin was recorded using Sahli's method and categorized according to WHO.

Sialolithiasis: An Unusually Large Submandibular Salivary Stone.

Salivary stones are termed as sialoliths, and the condition is referred to as sialolithiasis. Pain and swelling in the affected area, especially after eating, occur often. Small, easily accessible stones may be managed with conservative methods, such as milking of ducts, along with palliative care, whereas bigger, more difficult-to-reach stones need surgical removal.

Rapidly expanding chondromyxoid fibroma of the mandible: A case report of rare entity.

Chondromyxoid fibroma is an unusual, benign bone tumour that is usually sited in the metaphyseal region of the long bones. It accounts for less than 1% of all bone tumours. It manifests predominantly in males in their second and third decades of life.

Traumatic Bone Cyst of Mandible: A Case Report of Rare Entity and Review of Literature.

The traumatic bone cyst was first described by Lucas in 1929 and later by Rushton. A solitary bone cyst (SBC) is a nonneoplastic osseous lesion affecting ≥95% of the metaphyses of long bones such as the proximal humerus and femur. The incidence of cyst affecting the jaws is 1% of all the cyst.

Is screening in dental office an effective method of detecting undiagnosed hypertension?

Background: Hypertension is an important worldwide public health challenge because of its high frequency and risk of cardiovascular and renal disease.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension as well as inadequately controlled hypertension among general population who sought tooth extraction at Army College of Dental Sciences, Secunderabad.

Materials And Methods: Only 1200 patients in the age group of 20-60 years who sought tooth extraction were included in the study.
