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.
