A systematic review and meta-analysis of the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects on oral epithelium induced by cone beam computed tomography.

Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in oral epithelium after exposure of patients to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: A systematic review (SR) was conducted following the PECO (Population, Exposure, Comparison, Outcome) criteria. The study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO).

Oral cancer in pregnancy: A systematic review.

Management of Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis: An Indian Expert Consensus.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is characterized by painful, oral mucosal ulcers with wide range of prevalence ranging from 2 to 78%. Etiology of RAS is idiopathic and multifactorial. There are numerous gaps in assessment and management of RAS and the absence of guidelines or a consensus document makes the treatment further difficult.

Dental findings in the diagnosis of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism.

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (IHP) is a rare endocrinopathy, characterized by the disturbances in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, owing to deficiency in parathyroid hormone, which leads to tetanic manifestations. Onset of the clinical features occurs early in life, and the severity depends on the extent of chemical imbalance. This article describes a case of 22-year-old patient undiagnosed for 12 years with this endocrinopathy (IHP).

An unusual cause for trismus caused by mandibular coronoid osteoma: a case report.

Osteoma is a dense bony proliferation of otherwise normal membranous bone. This tumor is essentially restricted to the craniofacial skeleton and is rarely diagnosed in other bones. The mandible and the paranasal sinuses are the most common sites, while the involvement of the coronoid process has been reported in only 6 cases so far.

Unusual ghost image in a panoramic radiograph.

A panoramic radiograph was taken for a 9-year-old female patient with her earrings on; thus, artefactual shadows were cast on the radiograph. In addition to the two real images of the earrings, three additional images were seen corresponding to ghost images of the earrings. They were unusual not only in appearance but also because there were three in number.
