Article Synopsis
- - A mucocele is a benign mucous cyst typically found in the minor salivary glands, with two main types: mucus extravasation cysts and retention cysts.
- - The study analyzed 68 cases, revealing that the majority of patients were young males with a common occurrence in the lower lip, often linked to a history of trauma.
- - The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing the histopathological features of mucoceles to prevent misdiagnosis in dental practice.
Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion arising from the periodontal ligament and has the potential to form cementum and bone in the periodontal ligament. Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a painless, pedunculated, or sessile, smooth exophytic growth arising attached to the gingival tissues. We present a case of cemento-ossifying fibroid epulis in the posterior maxilla attached to the interdental gingiva between the 26 and 27 region buccally in a 52-year-old female patient managed with surgical excision of the lesion, extraction of the involved teeth, curettage, and palatal obturator while under general anesthesia.

AI and its subsets machine learning and deep learning have been developed to analyze complicated data gathered from many sources using algorithms built into decision support systems. It has been widely used in the field of dentistry.

Methodology: In this study, a total of 60 patients who required biopsy for final diagnosis of oral mucosal lesions as part of diagnosis in department of Oral Medicine were selected, out of which 30 were subjected to scalpel biopsies and 30 patients were subjected to diode laser biopsies. A 980 nm Zolar plus diode laser was used for the study.
Background: Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress play a vital role in the pathogenesis of various diseases of the oral cavity including periodontal disease. Phytochemicals present in plants with antioxidant (AO) and anti-inflammatory properties could aid as a therapeutic adjunct in the management of these diseases.
Aim: To assess the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Lam.
Objective: The present study evaluated the histopathological changes in oral tissues induced by pesticide poisoning.
Patients And Methods: This was a cross-sectional pilot study. The sample consisted of oral tissues obtained from deceased patients during autopsy.
