A comparative in vitro analysis of various temporization materials with respect to pulp chamber temperature changes during polymerization.

Aim: (1) To compare the temperature rise in the pulp chamber with different resin materials used for making provisional fixed partial dentures in anterior and posterior region while using Polyvinylsiloxane impression materials as matrix. (2) To identify a superior provisionalization material based on the amount of heat dissipated suitable for anterior and posterior provisional fixed partial denture fabrication.

Settings And Design: Temporary crowns and bridges are integral to Fixed Prosthodontics.

A systematic review of Pilomatrix carcinoma arising from the previous scar site of Pilomatrixoma.

Pilomatrix carcinoma is a rare tumor arising from the hair follicle matrix cells most commonly seen in the head and neck region. Also known as "calcified epithelial carcinoma of Melherbe," it was first reported in 1980 by Lopansri and Mihm. Since then till date to the best of our knowledge only around 125 cases were reported in literature, of which only 11 cases were reported to arise from histologically proven areas of previous pilomatrixoma which is the benign variant.

Evolution of treatment in gastric cancer- a systematic review.

Multimodality is the standard of care in gastric cancer but surgery remains the mainstay of curative treatment. As we are heading towards a more conservative approach for functional preservation without compromising oncological outcomes in all malignancies, the guidelines keeps changing based on various studies.The extent of surgery used to vary between the east and west, with the east performing more radical surgery and the west more reliant on multimodality therapy.

Predictive Factors for Submandibular Gland Involvement in Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma-a Prospective Study from a Tertiary Cancer Center.

The oncological necessity of submandibular gland removal during neck dissection for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma surgery has remained controversial. This study was aimed to determine the rate of SMG involvement and assess the feasibility of submandibular gland (SMG) preservation. We present a prospective study conducted at a tertiary cancer center from June 2017 to May 2019.

An evaluation of tensile bond strength of soft liners bonded to different denture base resins.

Background: Clinically, adhesion failure is the most critical problem because of the failure of the optimal bond between denture base and the soft liner.

Objectives: This study was performed to assess the tensile bond strength of two temporary soft liners to different denture base resins.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight blocks with 16 samples each of heat-cured denture base resin of three different types were fabricated from custom-made stainless steel die after de-waxing mold space.

In vitro evaluation of antimicrobial efficacy of silver zeolite against common oral pathogens.

Objectives: Antimicrobial efficacy and toxicity analysis of 5 different concentrations of silver zeolite (SZ) compound against 5 common oral pathogens Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyogenes, Lactobacillus sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans.

Material And Methods: The antimicrobial efficacy of 5 different concentrations of SZ was tested against 5 common oral pathogens using the agar well diffusion method and the MIC and MBC values were determined using the micro broth dilution method.

Can Preoperative Ultrasonography and MRI Replace Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Management of Axilla in Early Breast Cancer-a Prospective Study from a Tertiary Cancer Center.

Although SLNB is a less invasive procedure in detecting axillary lymph node metastases(ALNM) in early breast cancer; still, it carries some complications like lymphedema and in addition, performing SLNB requires surgical skills, technical knowledge, presence of facility like preoperative sentinel lymphoscintigraphy, and availability of hand-held gamma probe for intraoperative assessment. We calculated the relative diagnostic strength of preoperative axillary USG and MRI and compared with of SLNB for detection of ALNM in early breast cancer and assessed whether MRI and USG could accurately predict axillary LN status, potentially replacing SLNB. We evaluated 40 cases of clinically node-negative early breast cancer with preoperative axillary USG and MRI and subsequently subjected to SLNB.

Oncoplastic Breast Reconstruction in Breast Conservation Surgery: Improving the Oncological and Aesthetic Outcomes.

Breast conservation surgery (BCS) is now the standard of care for patients with early breast cancer. The main contraindications for BCS besides the presence of multicentricity and diffuse microcalcifications are inadequate tumour size to breast size ratio. With the advent of oncoplastic techniques, the indications of BCS may be further extended to patient with larger tumour size and or small volume breast.

Factors Affecting the Survival Rate of Dental Implants: A Retrospective Study.

Aims And Objectives: Dental implants have emerged as new treatment modality for the majority of patients and are expected to play a significant role in oral rehabilitation in the future. The present study was conducted to assess various factors affecting the survival rate of dental implants.

Materials And Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics.

Unusual association of Meckel's diverticulum with double appendix - A rare finding.

Introduction: Appendix duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly that is seen in 0.004-0.009% of appendectomy specimens.

Unusual presentation of follicular carcinoma thyroid with special emphasis on their management.

Introduction: Follicular carcinoma of thyroid usually behaves in an indolent manner with low metastatic potential. Distant metastases as initial presentation is rare in follicular carcinoma; especially in young patients.

Presentation Of Case: We report the clinical, pathological features and the management of three different cases of follicular carcinoma of the thyroid with unusual presentations at the time of diagnosis.

Multiple fibroadenomas in bilateral breasts of a 46-year-old Indian woman - A case report.

Introduction: Fibroadenomas are among the most common tumours of the female breast, occurring most frequently in women of child-bearing age, especially those under 30 years.

Presentation Of Case: We report a case with a total of 27 fibroadenomas presenting bilaterally of a 46-year-old woman. The histopathologic and immunophenotypic features of the fibroadenomata are described.
