Radiological and Surgical Assessment of Proximity of Roots of Mandibular Third Molar to the Inferior Alveolar Canal in Impacted Teeth.

Background And Objective: A mandibular canal around the lower third molar roots house the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). There is a risk of nerve injury during surgical tooth extraction.

Methods: The College of Dental Sciences at Davangere's Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery served as the outpatient setting for this investigation.

Analysis of Expression and Localization of TLR-2 by Immunofluorescent Technique in Healthy and Inflammed Oral Tissues.

Introduction: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are an important component of immune system. Among them, TLR-2 plays a dominant role in the oral tissues in initiating inflammation in chronic periodontitis. Not many studies have been done on quantitative expression of TLR-2 by using immunofluorescent techniques (IFT) in oral tissues.
