Background: Acetylresveratrol (AC-Res), to date, is a powerful stilbene phytoalexin generated organically or as a component of a plant's defensive system, is a significant plant phenolic chemical portion and is investigated as a therapy option for a number of disorders. Owing to its inadequate stabilisation and considerable conformation rigidity, the utility of AC-Res as a medication is limited.

Objective: The current review article outlined the structure of AC-Res, their methods of activity, and the latest technological progress in the administration of these molecules.

Background: Dental caries belong to a disease which has a complex etiology. Individual preventive measures are not adequate enough to control the disease especially in children with high caries experience The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of tooth paste containing enzymes and proteins in inhibiting plaque re-growth when compared to fluoride tooth paste in children with high caries experience.

Material And Methods: A total of 15 plaque samples are collected from 15 subjects in the age group of 5-7 years with High caries experience.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to understand the mineral loss in primary and permanent enamel samples and an attempt is made to standardize the process of chemical demineralization to generate more meaningful results in research studies involving the remineralization of demineralized samples.

Materials And Methods: Due to variability among enamel samples theoretically, it is impossible to standardize demineralization by running time-based chemical demineralization cycle without frequent monitoring. Instead of carrying out demineralization cycles for a fixed duration of time, we quantified the mineral loss 24 hourly using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) and Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence System (QLF™).

Pharmacovigilance is the pharmacological science associated with the detection, understanding and prevention of adverse effects, especially long-term and short-term adverse effects of medicines. In the present day pharmaceutical scenario, where the development and marketing of an ever-growing array of medicines has rendered their safety and therapeutic efficacy key to determining the success of a drug, pharmacovigilance has come about to play a critical and significant part. While pharmacovigilance, as a system, has witnessed considerable progress and evolution in the West, not as much has been accomplished in India.
