Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma of mandible: a rare case presentation and literature review.

Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma (IMC) is an atypical salivary gland neoplasm commonly seen in middle-aged adults. Their presentation in young individuals below the age group of 20 years is sporadic. Treatment modality mainly includes radical surgical resection for malignant tumours.

Concrescence: Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Imaging Perspective.

Concrescence is a form of twinning, formed by the confluence of cementum of two teeth at the root level. The diagnosis of concrescence has largely relied on the conventional 2D imaging. The 2D imaging has inherent limitations such as distortion and superimposition.

Determining the association between oral malodor and periodontal disease: A case control study.

Aim: To assess the role of periodontal health in oral malodor causation and compare the two methods (organoleptic and Halimeter) of malodor measurement.

Materials And Methods: A total of 240 subjects (60 subjects without any evidence of periodontal disease and 180 patients with gingivitis and periodontitis) were evaluated for periodontal and oral malodor parameters. Periodontal parameters included Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), mSBI, calculus component of OHIS, pocket depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL), and oral malodor was assessed by organoleptic scores, Halimeter readings, and Tongue Coating Index (TCI).

Invitro Antifungal Evaluation of Denture Soft Liner Incorporated with Tea Tree Oil: A New Therapeutic Approach Towards Denture Stomatitis.

Aim: Adherence and colonization of candida on denture soft liners is the most important contributing factor in development of denture stomatitis. This invitro study is undertaken to investigate whether the incorporation of tea tree oil into denture soft liners would inhibit the growth of candida albicans.

Materials And Methods: Each 10 specimen disks incorporated with tea tree oil into soft liners (St) and without tea tree oil (S) were prepared.
