Aim: The study was done to evaluate extraction of teeth without altering the aspirin therapy.
Materials And Method: Hundred patients taking aspirin therapy requiring extraction of teeth were separated into two groups with 50 samples in each. Group I continued the aspirin therapy during extraction of teeth on one occasion, and the same patients who discontinued the aspirin therapy 72 hours before extraction of teeth on another occasion become Group II.
Objectives: Aloe vera and tulsi were compared in this study to see how well they treated oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF).
Materials And Method: The study involved thirty healthy volunteers aged from 20 to 55 without any systemic complications. The patients were given medications that needed to be applied two to three times daily.
Article Synopsis
- Dental caries primarily affects young children and has significant prevalence in lower-income groups, highlighting the need for effective treatment options.
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) versus atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) in treating dental caries among schoolchildren aged 6-12 in a randomized clinical trial.
- Results showed that 58.9% of the SDF-treated lesions remained intact after 9 months, compared to 47.8% for the ART group, indicating that SDF is a more effective and accessible treatment method for managing dental caries in vulnerable populations.
Article Synopsis
- Poor oral health is prevalent among children in rural India, but integrating oral health education through primary health care can foster better habits among children and parents.
- The study assessed the impact of Anganwadi workers (AWWs) on the oral hygiene of preschool children, evaluating changes in practices and oral health indicators over eight months with a pre- and post-education approach.
- Results showed a significant increase in the use of fluoridated toothpaste and a decrease in unhealthy habits, indicating that AWWs can effectively enhance oral health in underserved communities.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze different types of dental caries and identify risk factors among schoolchildren aged 12 and 15 in Bhubaneswar.
- A survey was conducted with 800 children, using the Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment (CAST) scoring method, with various statistical analyses applied to the results.
- Findings indicated a 60.6% prevalence of dental caries, with older children showing higher rates, and the CAST index proved to be a valuable tool for understanding and addressing caries in community health initiatives.

This polyp is most commonly found in oral cavity, neck and axilla, though any skin fold may be affected like groin area.
