Effect of Preheating on the Color Stability of Two Different Commercially Available Nanohybrid Dental Composites: An Study.

Introduction: Color stability is one of the important criteria for the selection of composite during its service. Preheating of composite is performed to improve its handling characteristics. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of preheating in two nanohybrid composite resins.

Epidermal Ridge Patterns of Fingers in the Patients with Oral Premalignant Conditions-A Dermatoglypic Study.

Background: Dermatoglyphics play an important role in the identification of a person as well as identifying a person with a genetic abnormality. Hence, the present study was conducted with an aim to explore the association between the fingerprint patterns and oral potentially malignant disorders (PMDs).

Materials And Methods: We observed 80 individuals divided into 4 groups with 20 individuals in each group based on their habit and the presence of oral lesions.

Comparative evaluation of prevalence and phenotypic variations of species in patients of oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid lesions with healthy individuals - A prospective microbiological study.

Context: isolates might exaggerate the development and advancement of oral lichen planus (OLP) alone or together with other factors. There is a differing pathogenic potential of various species. Since species isolated from OLP and oral lichenoid lesions (OLL) have shown to be resistant to commonly used antifungal agents, identification of species may play a pivotal role in its successful clinical management.
