A Rare Case of Bladder Melanosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Bladder melanosis is a rare and poorly understood condition involving melanin pigmentation within the urothelial mucosa. Cases often present with haematuria, urinary obstructive symptoms, or cystitis. While generally considered benign, its potential association with malignancy warrants regular monitoring, as cases have previously been reported of an association with urothelial carcinoma and melanoma, although it is unclear whether there is a causal relationship.

Evaluation of the Effect of a Topical Gel Form of and on Induced Oral Mucositis in Male Golden Hamsters by Bio-Marker Indices and Stereological Assessment.

Statement Of The Problem: Oral mucositis (OM) is a common inflammatory complication consequent to chemotherapy or radiotherapy in cancer patients that affects their quality of life. Therefore, finding an effective treatment for OM is always imperative.

Purpose: The purpose of this experimental study was to measure the stereological, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant markers of hydro-alcoholic extract of () leaves, () fruits and their mixture on induced OM in hamsters.

Antimicrobial activity of seven essential oils from Iranian aromatic plants against common causes of oral infections.

Background: Over the past two decades, there has been a growing trend in using oral hygienic products originating from natural resources such as essential oils (EOs) and plant extracts. Seven aromatic plants used in this study are among popular traditional Iranian medicinal plants with potential application in modern medicine as anti-oral infectious diseases.

Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and antimicrobial activities of essential oils from seven medicinal plants against pathogens causing oral infections.

Inhibitory activity of Myrtus communis oil on some clinically isolated oral pathogens.

Objectives: To determine the antimicrobial activities of Myrtus communis oil (MCO) on some oral pathogens.

Material And Methods: Thirty strains of Streptococcus mutans, Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and 20 strains of Streptococcus pyogenes and Candida albicans isolated from patients with dental caries, periodontal diseases, pharyngitis and oral lesions associated with artificial dentures were used for the antimicrobial activity of MCO. The oil was prepared by hydrodistillation procedures using a Clevenger apparatus.

Inhibitory activity of green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract on some clinically isolated cariogenic and periodontopathic bacteria.

Objective: To determine the in vitro inhibitory activity of green tea extract on some clinically isolated cariogenic and periodontopathic bacteria.

Materials And Methods: Twenty strains of each of Streptococcusmutans, Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonasgingivalis, and Prevotellaintermedia were isolated from carious teeth and periodontal pockets of patients with dental caries and periodontal diseases. Green tea extract was prepared by aqueous extraction method and diluted from 50 to 1.
