Meta-Analysis of Assessment of Total Oxidative Stress and Total Antioxidant Capacity in Patients with Periodontitis.

Background: Periodontitis is intricately linked to oxidative stress-antioxidant (redox) imbalance. The antioxidant system scavenges the oxygen free radicals in biological fluids in patients with periodontitis. However, little is still known about the free radicals mediated oxidative stress and reductive ability of the antioxidant system.

Accuracy of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Software in Predicting the Size of Impacted Canine: A Preliminary Study.

Objective: To compare and analyze the precision, accuracy, and reliability of commonly used cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) software in predicting the mesiodistal diameter of impacted canines.

Methods: This study was conducted on 11 patients (six males and five females, mean age: 17.5±5.

Assessment of glutathione peroxidase enzyme response and total antioxidant status in oral cancer - Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Oxidative stress induced by free radical accumulation contributes to many pathologies, including cancer. Antioxidant defense system fails to scavenge free radicals when it is excessively accumulated. Assessing individual antioxidant enzymes and total antioxidant capacity could direct the customized therapeutic strategies.

A Comparative Analysis of Surface Characteristics of Enamel after Conventional Acid Etching and Er,Cr:YSSG Laser Irradiation.

Background: To evaluate the influence of Erbium, Chromium:Yttrium-Scandium-Gallium-Garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser irradiation (2W 15Hz, 2W 25Hz) on Penetration Depth, Surface Roughness, Surface Morphology and Etching Pattern of enamel and to compare it with conventional acid etching.

Material And Methods: Sixty sound human premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons were used for this study. Penetration Depth and Surface Roughness between Acid Etched and Laser Etched Enamel were evaluated using Non-contact 3D- Profilometer .

Awareness survey about the effects of malocclusion among young adults.

Background: Malocclusion has been a problem since ancient times. Diverse factors influence malocclusion such as oral habits, anomalies in the dentition like changes in shape, position and number of teeth. But awareness and attitude about the problem differs within the neighborhood, depending upon their understanding and education.
