Objective: The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of conventional TMJ imaging in depicting osseous changes in mandibular condyle and glenoid fossa in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) by comparing the finding against CT and with an objective that if conventional TMJ imaging modality can appreciate the osseous changes in RA and OA then what is the need for CT scan. Thus further reducing the patient's radiation dose.
Materials And Methods: A total of 70 patients (40 Rheumatoid Arthritis; 30 Osteoarthritis) were taken in the study aged between 40 - 60 years and divided in to age groups.
Determination of normal range for fasting salivary glucose in Type 1 diabetics.
J Int Soc Prev Community Dent
November 2015
Article Synopsis
- Blood tests for monitoring glucose are invasive and uncomfortable, prompting a study to find a noninvasive method using salivary glucose levels for Type 1 diabetics.
- The study involved 200 participants (100 Type 1 diabetics and 100 healthy controls), measuring fasting blood and salivary glucose levels, which showed significant positive correlations between the two.
- A cut-off salivary glucose level of 11.60 mg% was determined for diabetes diagnosis, and a regression equation was established to convert salivary glucose values to blood glucose levels accurately.
Ameloblastoma is an uncommon epithelial odontogenic neoplasm that is nonmineralized, locally aggressive, and, in most cases, benign. Most ameloblastomas develop in the molar-ramus region of the mandible with 70% of them arising in the molar-ramus area. Radiologically they are unilocular or multilocular radiolucency with a honeycomb or soap bubble appearance.
