Immunohistochemical expression of SOX2 in OKC and ameloblastoma: A comparative study.

Introduction: Odontogenic, non-inflammatory maxillofacial cysts and tumours vary greatly in their ability to grow and cause local tissue destruction. Despite their common embryologic origin, the biologic mechanisms responsible for this diverse array of clinical behaviour are largely unknown. Unfortunately, even with accurate tissue diagnosis and appropriate surgical management, these tumours have relatively high recurrence rates.

Assessment of sexual dimorphism in Maharashtrian young adults using maxillary intercanine, interpremolar, and intermolar widths: A morphometric study.

Introduction: Sexual dimorphism practically involves differences in size and appearance of the same species which does not involve the difference in sexual organs. A significant variation also occurs with the tooth size, shape, etc., which plays a critical role in sex determination.

Oral Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid.

Pemphigoid is a group of rare autoimmune diseases affecting the skin and the mucous membrane in which the autoantibodies are directed against the basement membrane zone target antigens causing subepithelial blistering. Oral health professionals are usually the first to identify as more than 90% of cases show oral lesions initially. A lack of diagnostic criteria can lead to misdiagnosis and delay in treatment.

A novel mucocele: Myxoglobulosis.

Oral extravasation mucoceles are among the most widely recognized submucosal lesions which are usually a result of trauma involving salivary glands and their ducts. This paper reports a case of a 40-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of a painless swelling on the lower lip since 6 months. Upon a provisional diagnosis of mucocele, surgical excision was carried out.
