Comparative Evaluation of the Surface Area of the Maxillary and Mandibular Denture Bearing Area According to Arch Shapes Obtained Through A Manually Molded Impression.

Objective: This study was done to compare the surface area of the maxillary and mandibular denture bearing area obtained through a manually molded impression in an open mouth selective pressure technique.

Methodology: Final impression was made in 60 patients with zinc oxide eugenol impression paste, poured in dental stone to get master cast. Denture bearing area was marked with an indelible pencil.

Denture hygiene awareness, attitude and practice among complete denture wearers during COVID-19 lockdown Pandemic: A questionnaire based survey.

Objective: To determine the denture hygiene habits in complete denture wearers during Covid-19 lockdown in Assam state.

Materials And Methods: In this study, a self-administered structured questionnaire was developed to know the attitude of the patients regarding denture hygiene. The study sample consisted of 150 subjects, which included 63 (42%) males and 87 (58%) females.

Assessment of White Spots with Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence in Patients Undergoing Fixed Orthodontics.

Background: The present study determined white spots with the help of quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) in patients undergoing fixed orthodontics.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-four patients undergoing fixed orthodontics above 12 years underwent debonding, and the presence of carious lesion was assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks, 6 months, and 2 years. QLF images were taken with intraoral fluorescence camera.

Understanding the molecular evolution of tiger diversity through DNA barcoding marker ND4 and NADH dehydrogenase complex using computational biology.

Background: Currently, Tigers (the top predator of an ecosystem) are on the list of endangered species. Thus the need is to understand the tiger's population genomics to design their conservation strategies.

Objective: We analyzed the molecular evolution of tiger diversity using NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4), a significant electron transport chain component.
