Methods: Medical records of patients diagnosed with TMJ disorders between 2017 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Data collected included demographic information, clinical symptoms, radiographic findings, treatment modalities, and treatment outcomes.

Retrospective Analysis of Treatment Outcomes and Survival Rates in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients.

Background: Because of its high rates of morbidity and death, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) poses a serious threat to world health. To maximize patient care and direct clinical decision-making, it is important to comprehend treatment results and survival rates.

Methods: Treatment results and survival rates for OSCC patients treated at a tertiary care facility between 2010 and 2022 were assessed in this retrospective research.

Effect of Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Concentrated Growth Factor on Tissues Around Implants in the Maxillary Anterior Region.

Background And Aim: Tissue repair surrounding implants is essential for the cosmetic maxillary anterior zone to respond favorably to implant therapy. Grafting platelets from an individual's blood was developed to overcome the esthetic requirements and speed up healing. Advanced platelet-rich fibrin (APRF) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) are used for good healing.

Comparative Analysis of Post-operative Pain Relief and Healing Outcomes between Single-Visit and Multiple-Visit Root Canal Therapy: A Tertiary Care Study.

Background: Apical periodontitis and irreversible pulpitis are typical dental conditions treated with " (RCT)". Single-visit RCT has become a viable alternative to the multi-visit RCT method used in traditional RCT.

Methods: A total of 100 RCT participants were randomised to either the single-visit or multiple-visit groups at random.

Evaluating the Efficacy of Adjuvant Radiotherapy in the Management of Advanced Oral Cancer Cases.

Background: Because of its high rates of morbidity and death, especially in its late stages, oral cancer poses a serious threat to world health. Even with improvements in surgical and chemotherapeutic techniques, advanced oral cancer is still difficult to treat and frequently has unfavorable results.

Methods: Information on demographics, tumor features, treatment options, and results were gathered from medical records.

Longitudinal Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy of Panoramic Radiography in Oral Pathology.

Objective: The purpose of this 5-year longitudinal study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of panoramic radiography (PR) in identifying oral pathology at a tertiary care facility.

Methods: A retrospective review of patient files was done, encompassing those of patients who had PR for suspected oral lesions, followed by a biopsy. At various times, several diagnostic accuracy metrics were computed, such as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR).

Assessment of the Association between Socioeconomic Factors and Dental Health Disparities Over a Decade.

Background: Socioeconomic variables continue to play a major role in the global persistence of dental health inequities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic characteristics and dental health outcomes at a tertiary-care facility over a 10-year period.

Methods: Patient demographics, socioeconomic factors, and dental health outcomes were analyzed retrospectively from dental health records.

Epidemiological Study of Oral Cancer Cases Over a 10-Year Period.

Background: Because it causes high rates of morbidity and death, oral cancer represents a major global public health concern. It is vital to comprehend the epidemiological trends of oral cancer instances to execute efficacious preventive and therapy tactics.

Objectives: The objective of this retrospective study was to examine the epidemiological patterns of cases of oral cancer in a tertiary care environment over a period of 10 years.

Critical appraisal of the chorioallantoic membrane model for studying angiogenesis in preclinical research.

Background: Angiogenesis, the biological mechanism by which new blood vessels are generated from existing ones, plays a vital role in growth and development. Effective preclinical screening is necessary for the development of medications that may enhance or inhibit angiogenesis in the setting of different disorders. Traditional in vitro and, in vivo models of angiogenesis are laborious and time-consuming, necessitating advanced infrastructure for embryo culture.

Effectiveness of a single dose of JYNNEOS vaccine in real world: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Mpox infection is a zoonotic illness that resembles smallpox. Vaccination is widely regarded as a vital effective method of preventing mpox, however, there is lack of consensus of effectiveness of a single dose of mpox vaccine in the current 2022-2023 outbreak. We pooled data from real-world studies to evaluate the efficacy of the JYNNEOS vaccination given as a single dosage.

Multi-organ clinical manifestations of Mpox: an umbrella review of systematic reviews.

Background: Mpox is a severe viral zoonosis that has emerged as a public health concern due to its potential for human-to-human transmission and severe illness. Understanding its clinical manifestations is crucial for effective management and control. Several systematic reviews have assessed various manifestations of Mpox.

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH): The "Why, What and How" of decision making for orthodontists.

Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) presents a significant clinical challenge in orthodontics, with its complex etiology, variable presentation, and profound impact on enamel homeostasis. Utilizing Simon Sinek's "Golden Circle" method, this article systematically explores the implications of MIH within orthodontic practice. The "Why" emphasizes the critical need for orthodontists to understand MIH, given its prevalence and potential to disrupt treatment outcomes.

Adverse pregnancy outcomes in maternal malarial infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Malaria in pregnancy is a critical public health issue that can lead to severe adverse outcomes for both mother and fetus. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the prevalence of adverse birth outcomes in malaria-infected pregnancies and examines their association with the condition.
