A systematic review on odontogenic cysts and tumours.

Background: There are still certain gaps in the research that need to be filled despite the fact that numerous studies have looked into the transformation of odontogenic cysts into neoplastic lesions. To identify pertinent research that had been published and to synthesise the available data and provide an overview of the current body of knowledge, this review also sought to do so.

Materials And Methods: Adopting the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a search strategy was implemented across several online databases to search for relevant articles as per the defined selection criterion.

Gout Arthritis of Temporomandibular Joint - A Rare Case Report and Review of Literature.

Gout is a metabolic disorder that leads to elevated serum uric acid levels and deposition of urate crystals in the joints. The disease is usually confined to the joint space and leads to pain and limitation of jaw opening. The case describes a 45-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of 'occasional pain in the left temporal muscle region'.

Correlation Between the Effects of CO Laser and Histopathological Analysis in Vocal Cord Lesions: An Observational Study.

Lasers are based on the principle of light amplification by empowering atoms to store and emit light in a coherent form. Through their effect on tissues, lasers reduce hemorrhage allowing the surgeon to work in a clear field with precise removal of the tissues. Irradiation of the soft tissues by lasers produces thermal effects on the surrounding healthy tissues which can make histopathological examination difficult.

Immuno-histochemical evaluation of CD34 for OLP and OSMF.

Immuno-histochemical evaluation of CD34 in oral lichen planus (OLP) and Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is of interest to dentist.20 specimens of normal oral mucosa (buccal mucosa/gingiva tissue) from patients who had extractions performed as part of orthodontic treatment comprised Group I, the control group. Group II comprised 30 individuals with a diagnosis of oral lichen planus.

Effect of Denture Wearing on Occurrence of Fungal Isolates: An Original Study.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of denture wearing on the occurrence of fungal isolates in the oral cavity before and after complete denture insertion. Fifty completely edentulous patients were selected. Swab samples were collected intraorally before the fabrication of complete dentures from the palatal mucosal surface and after complete denture fabrication (1 and 7 days after denture insertion).

A Comparative Evaluation of Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Teeth Using Different Post-Obturation Restorative Materials: An Study.

Unlabelled: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth using different post-obturation restorative materials. Seventy-five non-carious extracted human teeth were collected. Access opening, chemicomechanical preparation, and obturation were done.

A Rare Complication of Maxillary Third Molar Extraction.

The removal of tuberosity post extraction of the maxillary third molar is a very rare complication and there has not been ample discussion in the literature. Forceful extraction of a maxillary third molar can lead to soft and hard tissue loss. Various techniques have been used for the management of such defects such as local flaps, free soft tissue flaps, free bone flaps, and even tissue engineering.

A Rare Occurrence of Mucocele in the Floor of the Mouth of an Infant.

A mucocele is a prevalent benign oral lesion distinguished by the extravasation or retention of mucous within submucosal tissue originating from minor salivary glands. Mucoceles predominantly manifest on the lower lip, followed by occurrences on the floor of the mouth and the buccal mucosa. Trauma and lip biting habits are one of the main causes of lesions.

Open Apex and its Management: Review Article.

During root development, the teeth are subjected to a variety of assaults. Due to this, the root stops forming and the closure of the apex does not take place. Root canal treatment becomes a major challenge in these cases because of the width of the canal and wide-open apices.
