Postural Disharmony Causing Myofacial Pain: A Case Report and Review of Literature of the Treatment.

Myofacial pain, a chronic painful condition of muscle origin, has numerous precipitating factors, if undiagnosed or left untreated could lead to compromised function and poor quality of life. In this case report, a female patient giving a history of 10 years of pain in the head and neck region was eventually diagnosed with myofacial pain secondary to bowing posture. The patient was successfully treated with combination of treatment modalities (TENS therapy, exercises, occlusal splint, etc.

Comparative study of effectiveness of colposcopic examination versus visual examination for determining the biopsy site of potentially premalignant oral epithelial lesions.

Diagnosis of oral malignant and potentially premalignant oral epithelial lesions (PPOELs) cannot be based solely on clinical findings. Tissue biopsy with histopathologic examination remains the gold standard in diagnosis. Selection of a representative biopsy site becomes essential to arrive at an early and precise diagnosis which substantially reduces the incidence of morbidity and mortality from oral cancer.

Self-Drilling Versus Self-Tapping Screws: A 3D Finite Element Analysis.

Study Design: Self-tapping and self-drilling screws are two modalities available for plate fixation. When compared to self-drilling, self-tapping screws have a few drawbacks like screw loosening, thermal osteolysis, equipment dependent, and time-consuming.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of self-tapping and self-drilling screws with relation to plate retention and stability in internal fixation of mandibular fractures using 3D finite element analysis (FEA).

Improvement of oral cancer screening quality and reach: The promise of artificial intelligence.

Oral cancer is easily detectable by physical (self) examination. However, many cases of oral cancer are detected late, which causes unnecessary morbidity and mortality. Screening of high-risk populations seems beneficial, but these populations are commonly located in regions with limited access to health care.

Spectrum of features in Darier's disease: A case report with emphasis on differential diagnosis.

Oral genodermatoses includes a spectrum of inherited dermatological disorders with varying oral mucosal manifestations. Darier's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder with defect in desmosomal attachment. This case report presents oro cutaneous manifestations of Darier's disease in a 40 year old female patient with a detailed review on etiology, pathogenesis, differential diagnosis and management of the condition.

Assessment of salivary endothelin-1 in patients with leukoplakia, submucous fibrosis, oral cancer and healthy individuals - a comparative study.

Background: Oral cancer is one of the highly prevalent cancers worldwide being. According to data of GLOBOCAN 2018, the estimated incidence, mortality and 5-year survival rates due to lip, oral cavity and salivary gland cancer in world is (2.0%), (0.

Association of OLP and thyroid disorder: Case report and review of literature.

Oral lichen planus is a chronic T cell mediated inflammatory condition with multifactorial etiology. Being autoimmune mediated condition, it has been associated with other autoimmune disorders. This case report discusses the possible presentation of oral lichen planus in hypothyroid patients as a marker of severity of the thyroid deficient status and the possible pathogenetic link between both the conditions.

Primary Extranodal Lymphomas of Lip - A Rare Manifestation in Sjogren's Syndrome.

Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder which is characterized by lymphocyte-mediated destruction of exocrine glands, which produces the classical symptoms of dry eyes and dry mouth, which is referred to as primary SS or the Sicca complex. When it is associated with another autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus erythematosus, the condition is termed as secondary SS. One of the known major complications in patients with Sjogren's syndrome is the occurrence of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of B cell type.

"A comparative evaluation between single noncompression titanium miniplate and three dimensional titanium miniplate in treatment of mandibular angle fracture"--a randomized prospective study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare efficacy between the single non-compression titanium miniplate and single three-dimensional titanium miniplate in mandibular angle fracture treatment.

Method And Materials: A prospective study of 20 patients with mandibular angle fractures. Patients were randomly categorized into two groups with 10 patients in each group.
