Article Synopsis
- This systematic review compares high-viscosity glass ionomer cement (HVGIC) restorations to direct composite resin (CR) restorations in primary teeth, focusing on their clinical effectiveness.
- Over 20 years of literature have shown HVGIC may have a higher survival rate than conventional glass ionomer cements (C-GIC), but findings on durability in primary teeth are mixed.
- The review analyzed four studies, finding no significant difference in effectiveness between HVGIC and CR restorations, suggesting both materials perform well clinically, with class I restorations showing better survival rates than class II.
Purpose: The purpose of our study was to perform a systematic review to assess and compare the effectiveness of the air abrasion technique with that of the conventional acid-etching technique performed before the placement of pit and fissure sealants.
Materials And Methods: A search of studies was conducted in May 2021 using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases. Clinical trials in the English language between 1997 and 2019 were included.
Objectives: Oral cancer is significantly high in India, and screening is an effective approach to downstage the disease. Educating Community Health Workers (CHWs) on early oral cancer detection is an effective step toward reducing the burden and serves as a first step toward facilitating the transfer of knowledge. Therefore, the purpose of this hands-on education was to equip CHWs with insight on the advanced diagnostics, preventive techniques, and innovations for the early detection of oral cancer.

Introduction: Although an established prognostic marker for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the value of CA 19-9 in resected ACs during follow-up is unknown.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of ACs undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy at Tata Memorial Centre-Mumbai, from January 2012 to January 2020 was performed.
