Aim And Objective: This study aims to compare the efficacy of TurmNova lozenges and its active ingredient "curcumin" as a low-cost, safe, and noninvasive chemopreventive agent with intralesional corticosteroids (with hyaluronidase) in the management of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF).
Materials And Methods: A total of 80 patients with group III OSMF (Khanna JN and Andrade NN classification) visiting the dental outpatient clinic of the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology Rama Dental College Hospital and Research Center, Kanpur, were selected for the study. A total of 80 patients were randomly divided into two groups (40 participants each): group A to whom TurmNova® lozenges containing turmeric extract 100 mg along with clove oil 10 mg three times daily for 3 months were given and group B to whom intralesional infiltration of 2 mL dexamethasone (4 mg/mL) + hyaluronidase 1500 IU dissolved in 0.
Aim: The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the conventional intraoral mandibular vestibular incision approach in symphysis and parasymphysis fractures and compare prognosis of the incision site, fracture healing, and associated complications with the staircase modification of the intraoral mandibular vestibular incision approach for symphysis and parasymphysis fractures.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on 34 healthy individual of age 18-60 years, reporting to the department with a history of trauma having mandibular symphysis or parasymphysis fractures and underwent open reduction and internal fixation under either local or general anesthesia. The treated patients were prospectively followed and examined for the postoperative complications such as pain, swelling, infection, dehiscence, sensory disturbances, and nonunion/malunion of the fracture site.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the upper and lower pharyngeal airway dimensions were affected by different skeletal malocclusions.
Materials And Methods: Lateral cephalograms of 120 subjects were used to measure the pharyngeal airway and were divided into three groups (each group included 40 subjects) according to ANB angle: Class I (ANB angle 2° ≤ ANB ≤ 4°), Class II (ANB angle(ANB ≥ 6°), and Class III (ANB angle ≤ 0°). Various linear cephalometric airway measurements (14 measurements) were used to evaluate pharyngeal airway at various levels.
