Plant Mediated Silver Nanoparticles and Mode of Action in Cancer Therapy: A Review.

Background: Cancer is a widespread fatal disease associated with the abnormal growth of cells in the body.

Objectives: This article represents applications of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles and their mode of action in cancer therapy.

Methods: Nanomedicines have been proved to be an effective therapy in the treatment of the disease because of a wide range of applications.

Point of Care- A Novel Approach to Periodontal Diagnosis-A Review.

Periodontal disease, one of the prevalent oral diseases, is characterized by gingival inflammation and periodontal tissue destruction. Diagnosing this disease is challenging to the clinicians as the disease process is discontinuous and shows periods of exacerbation and remission. Traditional diagnostic methods basically tells about the past tissue destruction so new diagnostic methods are required which is able to detect the active state of the disease, determine the future progression and also estimates the response to the therapy, thereby helping in the better clinical management of the patient.

Pure Titanium Membrane (Ultra - Ti) in the Treatment of Periodontal Osseous Defects: A Split-Mouth Comparative Study.

Introduction: Although many different types of Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) membranes (resorbable/non-resorbable, including titanium mesh) have been used in the field of Periodontics till now, but this is the first and only clinical study testing the effectiveness of an ultra thin pure Titanium Membrane (Ultra Ti) as a GTR membrane in infra-bony periodontal defects.

Aim: To compare the efficacy of GTR in intra-bony defects with newly introduced non-resorbable barrier membrane, made of titanium called "Ultra-Ti GTR Membrane" versus open flap debridement.

Materials And Methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical split mouth study was designed wherein each patient received both the control and test treatment.
