Published: April 2013

The 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs), a class of drugs possess a wide variety of biological and pharmacological actions, have represented one of the most important groups of calcium-channel modulating agents and have experienced widespread use in the treatment of cardiovascular disease which include antihypertensive, antianginal, vasodilator and cardiac depressants activities. It also shows antibacterial, anticancer, antileishmanial, anticoagulant, anticonvulsant, antitubercular, antioxidant, antiulcer, CFTR, antimalarials, neuroprotection properties, HIV-1 protease inhibitors, antifertility activities and many more. There are many marketed drugs which contain 1,4-dihydropyridines ring as basic scaffold. In this review, attempts have been made to disclose various therapeutic applications of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives which have been reported during the period of 2001-2011.

Infertility is a prevalent problem among 10% of people within their reproductive years. Sometimes, even advanced treatment options like assisted reproduction technology have the potential to result in failed implantation. Because of the expected changes in gene expression during both in vitro and in vivo fertilization processes, these methods of assisting fertility have also been associated with undesirable pregnancy outcomes related to infertility.

Background: The collum angle, tooth dimensions, root length, and alveolar bone thickness have a significant impact on orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The boundaries of orthodontic tooth movement are determined by alveolar bone thickness and dimensions while the collum angle determines the appropriate positioning of the root relative to the cortical plate. This study aimed to compare the collum angle, crown dimensions, root length, and alveolar bone thickness of the upper and lower incisors, canines, and premolars in subjects with varying anteroposterior relationships.

Self -reported bruxism in patients undergoing Orthodontic treatment - a cross-sectional study.

BMC Oral Health

December 2024

Department of Surgery, Program Director Orthodontics Residency Program, Section of Dentistry, The Aga Khan University Hospital, Stadium Road, P.O Box 3500, Karachi, 74800, Pakistan.

Background: Orthodontic treatment involves manipulation of tooth position that can temporarily lead to occlusal interferences capable of inducing bruxism. The objectives of this study were to determine the self-reported incidence of bruxism and its association with factors such as facial type, divergence, skeletal and dental malocclusions in orthodontic patients.

Materials And Methods: 80 patients who underwent a minimum of six months of orthodontic treatment were surveyed using a validated self-reported bruxism questionnaire for the presence or absence of bruxism.
