Background And Objectives: Metabolic disorders, oral precancerous conditions and oral cancer are accompanied by alterations in the concentration of one or more trace elements like copper, iron, zinc, magnesium etc., in some body fluids, especially blood serum or plasma, which can help not only in the early diagnosis and treatment but also in prognosis. The objective of the study is to evaluate the levels of circulating trace elements (copper, iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium) in serum of patients with Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSF) and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), to analyze the alteration and identify the best predictors amongst these parameters for disease occurrence and progression and their association with areca nut and betel quid chewing habits.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess how the duration of exposure to eugenol-based temporary restorative materials affects the bond strength of different self-etching adhesives to dentin, specifically over 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days.
- Forty extracted human teeth were prepared and divided into groups that tested noneugenol cement and eugenol cement for varying time intervals before applying adhesive systems.
- Results indicated that 24-hour exposure to eugenol significantly weakened bond strength, but longer exposure durations (7 and 14 days) did not show any further reduction in bond strength for both two-step and one-step self-etch adhesives.

Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, Amrith Educational and Cultural Society Maaruti College of Dental Sciences and Research Centre, Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
Background And Objectives: Pit and fissure sealants are highly effective in preventing occlusal caries. The present study clinically evaluated and compared the retention and development of caries when sealed with moisture-tolerant resin-based sealant, conventional resin-based sealant with and without a bonding agent, and Glass Ionomer Cement Sealant in young permanent teeth.
Materials And Methods: A total of 80 healthy cooperative children aged 6-9 years who were at high caries risk with all four newly erupted permanent first molars were included in the study.
