Unveiling the Multifaceted Management of Oral Mucositis in Cancer Patients: A Narrative Review.

Oral mucositis (OM) is a major and common adverse reaction to cancer treatment, occurring in all patients who undergo radiation therapy or chemotherapy that includes the mucosal areas of the oral and oropharyngeal region. The pathophysiology of OM remains incompletely understood, and there are many unanswered questions about the risk factors for developing OM. Multidisciplinary clinicians and researchers must collaborate to better understand and expand treatment strategies for OM and other inflammatory conditions in oncology.

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Activity of Ocimum tenuiflorum- and Stevia rebaudiana-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles: An In Vitro Study.

Background: Nanotechnology, a field bridging material science and biology, explores various applications. Silver nanoparticles, ranging from 1 nm to 100 nm, are commonly labeled as "silver," although some contain a substantial quantity of silver oxide owing to the heightened ratio of silver atoms on the surface compared to the bulk. This characteristic establishes silver as a prominent nanoparticulate material.

Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activity of and -Mediated Silver Nanoparticles - An Study.

Background: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are the nanoparticles of silver between 1 nm and 100 nm in size. In this study, AgNPs were extracted from and which is a medicinal plant of Indian origin, worshipped by the Hindus and used in Ayurvedic medicine since ancient times.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the antimicrobial and cytotoxic effect of AgNPs reinforced with the herb and against oral pathogens.

Dentist perspective on knowledge and practice toward Ellis class 3 tooth fracture: A survey.

Traumatic dental injuries otherwise referred to as dental trauma is common in dental practice. The etiology of dental trauma is mostly falls and accidents in case of children and young adults. The treatment provided should be quick and effective which depends on the extent of the dental trauma, the injury might expose enamel, dentine and pulp of the affected teeth.

Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activity of -mediated selenium nanoparticles: An study.

Background: Nanotechnology is the specialty associated with material science and biology, rather than a particular field. It entails the method of particles at nanoscale called Nanoparticles, wherein they have control over bulk macroscopic properties of the identical material. The "drug nanocarrier," selenium possesses strong antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-cancer as well as anti-inflammatory properties.

Efficacy of Chitosan and Chlorhexidine Mouthwash on Dental Plaque and Gingival Inflammation: A Systematic Review.

Mouthwash is the effective chemical plaque control mechanism being practiced globally. Teeth and tongue discoloration, a temporary change in taste perception, an increase in calculus deposits, a burning sensation, and genotoxicity of buccal epithelial cells are all possible side effects. This review evaluates the efficacy of chitosan mouthwash in comparison to chlorhexidine mouthwash in combating plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation.

Determining Association Between Cognitive Function and Oral Health Status among Rural Community Dwelling Geriatrics.

Objective: Numerous prospective studies worldwide investigated the association between oral health status and dementia or cognitive decline. No clear agreement has emerged on the association. This study aimed to determine the association of cognitive function and oral health status among community dwelling geriatrics in rural South India.
