The clear-cell variant of oral squamous cell carcinoma is an extremely rare histological variant and an incompletely understood entity. Clear cell appearance in squamous cell carcinoma may be attributed to hydropic degeneration of neoplastic cells. We report a case of a 32-year-old male patient who presented with an ulceroproliferative growth in the left maxillary posterior region on the hard palate and gingiva, obliterating the buccal vestibule.

Background: Children's age is a significant predictor factor for their panic and conduct intraoperatively. A child's developmental stage influences their ability to handle stress in dental operations, and it seems that younger children are more anxious and have a better capacity to cope with dental procedures. Age and gender are said to have a significant influence on emotional quotient (EQ) and intelligence quotient (IQ), but the data regarding this is extremely sparse in the dental literature.

Introduction: Caries in primary teeth rapidly advances owing to its thin structure, thereby requiring restoration. However, restorations often fail due to various causes such as secondary caries and reduced microtensile bond strength (μTBS), which calls for the use of antimicrobial agents such as silver diamine fluoride (SDF).

Aim: This study aims to measure and analyse the effect of SDF application on the μTBS of three regularly used restorative materials to dentin of primary teeth as well as compare the types of bond failure interfaces under SEM.

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is primarily characterized by distal sensory loss, reduced mobility, and foot ulcers that may potentially lead to amputation. The multifaceted etiology of DN is linked to a range of inflammatory, vascular, metabolic, and other neurodegenerative factors. Chronic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress are the three basic biological changes that contribute to the development of DN.

Mesiodens are common supernumerary teeth that prominently erupt in the midline between the maxillary central incisors. If two or more mesiodens are present, they are termed mesiodentes, indicating the presence of multiple supernumerary teeth in the midline. These often cause aesthetic disharmony in the anterior teeth due to their abnormal position, leading to extraction in most cases and resulting in midline diastema when impacted or partially erupted.

Extracellular matrix diseases like fibrosis are elusive to diagnose early on, to avoid complete loss of organ function or even cancer progression, making early diagnosis crucial. Imaging the matrix densities of proteins like collagen in fixed tissue sections with suitable stains and labels is a standard for diagnosis and staging. However, fine changes in matrix density are difficult to realize by conventional histological staining and microscopy as the matrix fibrils are finer than the resolving capacity of these microscopes.

Early childhood caries is a major public health issue in India. The primary reason for poor oral health in children is a lack of awareness about the role of primary teeth and the importance of an early dental visit for infants and toddlers. The primary objectives of an early dental visit are to analyze the child's risk level, provide guidance to parents regarding proper oral hygiene measures, review dietary and eating habits, provide information regarding the infectivity of dental caries, review the risks of traumatic injuries and discuss factors which affect the development of occlusion.

Article Synopsis
  • - Mucin-producing adenocarcinomas (MAC) are rare tumors primarily stemming from salivary glands or having a significant glandular component, diagnosed mainly through histology and immunohistochemistry due to non-specific clinical features.
  • - These cancers often originate as metastases from other organs like the lung, breast, kidney, or colon, and the paper highlights a case of a 51-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma from the breast, confirmed via tissue biopsy.
  • - Despite being rare, MACs account for about 1% of oral malignant neoplasms that typically affect the gums, so doctors need to thoroughly evaluate oral lesions to ensure correct diagnosis and treatment.
