Oral rehabilitation of a 14-year-old quadriplegic child with cerebral palsy under general anesthesia: A case report.

Cerebral palsy is a neuromuscular disorder in which patients deal with dysfunction in motor coordination in addition to other problems like epilepsy. Due to disrupted motor functions, the oromotor coordination is also affected, leading to higher incidence of dental caries, which is also due to increased consumption of medications. This case report deals with the oral rehabilitation of a quadriplegic 14-year-old child with cerebral palsy, suffering from severe dental pain and who was treated under general anesthesia.

Preliminary Report on Histopathology of Odontogenic Keratocyst in Third Dimension: Three-Dimensional Video and Images.

Introduction: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental odontogenic cyst of the jaws that causes extensive destruction even before the clinical manifestations are evident. It is a well-known entity among private practitioners as it has a high recurrence rate and requires meticulous treatment planning. Unfortunately, clinicians have less understood its basic histopathology.

A Comparison of Proliferative Capacity of Reticular and Erosive Variants of Oral Lichen Planus by Argyrophilic Nucleolar Organizer Regions Method.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP), an immune mediated disorder, has been recognized since 1869 and is presented as any one of the six variants. Reticular and erosive are the most frequently encountered. Its proliferative capacity can give some information regarding its progression.

Is Paracetamol Better than Diclofenac Sodium in Management of Postoperative Pain and Edema Following Major Maxillofacial Surgeries?

Introduction: Paracetamol is an optimal non-opioid analgesic and holds considerable advantages over NSAIDs in managing post-operative pain. Literature to date doesn't provide substantial documentation of it's efficacy and safety in major oral and maxillofacial surgeries. The study is designed to compare the effectiveness of intravenous paracetamol with diclofenac sodium for controlling post-operative pain and edema in major oral and maxillofacial surgeries.

Comparison of pain perception between computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery and the conventional syringe for inferior alveolar nerve block in children.

Background: Local anesthesia (LA) is commonly used for pain control in clinical dental practice. However, it is often perceived as the most painful part of the treatment and the factor leading to the avoidance of dental care. Hence, research on better means of pain management is being conducted.

Oral Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid.

Pemphigoid is a group of rare autoimmune diseases affecting the skin and the mucous membrane in which the autoantibodies are directed against the basement membrane zone target antigens causing subepithelial blistering. Oral health professionals are usually the first to identify as more than 90% of cases show oral lesions initially. A lack of diagnostic criteria can lead to misdiagnosis and delay in treatment.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the retromolar region of an 8-year-old child: A rare finding.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the oral cavity is an extremely rare finding. The etiology and pathogenesis of IMT is controversial and unclear. The tumor requires complete surgical excision and continuous monitoring of clinical consequences.

Bimodal Approach: A Key to Manage a Case of Traumatic Superior Orbital Fissure Syndrome.

An unusual complication associated with maxillofacial trauma is the superior orbital fissure syndrome (SOFS). Trauma-related SOFS often presents within 48 h of injury, but presentation can be delayed by several days. This article sums up the particulars of the syndrome and treatments done in the literature and discusses our experience of managing this complex case.

Root and Root Canal Anatomy of Primary Mandibular Central Incisor, Lateral Incisor, and Canine in Indian Children: A Cone Beam Computed Tomography Study.

Background: A thorough knowledge of root and root canal morphology in primary dentition is essential for success of endodontic therapy. This information also finds importance in anthropological research in reconstructing human population history. Lack of studies of root and root canal morphology in mandibular anterior teeth prompted us to the present study.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma - A Case of an Aggressive Ulcerated Lesion of the Upper Lip.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an unusual slow growing salivary gland malignancy with higher chances of recurrence. It is characterized by the proliferation of ductal (luminal) and myoepithelial cells in cribriform, tubular, solid, and cystic forms. Standard treatment, including surgery with postoperative radiation therapy, has attained reasonable local control rates, but distant metastases do not allow any improvement in the survival rate.

Co-existence of oral intra-muscular lipoma and lobular capillary hemangioma: A rare case report.

Introduction: Intramuscular lipoma are benign mesenchymal soft tissue neoplasm of mature adipocytes that arises within the muscle. Oral intramuscular lipoma are more commonly seen on tongue. Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) on the other hand are common benign vascular neoplasms which are often confused with pyogenic granuloma.

An In-Vitro Comparative Evaluation of Pre-treatment With Nano-Silver Fluoride on Inhibiting Secondary Caries at Tooth Restoration Interface.

Introduction and aim Dental caries is the global burden worldwide and has a negative effect on the quality of life. Restorative materials in pediatric dentistry have shown satisfactory properties; however, the highest failures are still reported due to the occurrence of secondary caries. The article aims to assess the effectiveness of pre-treatment with nano-silver fluoride (NSF) in inhibiting secondary caries at the tooth restoration interface.

Evaluation of Ki-67 Expression in Oral Submucous Fibrosis and Its Correlation with Clinical and Histopathological Features.

Objectives: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder. Although it shows atrophic epithelium, it has a high proliferative capacity. Therefore, this study correlates the Ki-67.
