Metastasis to jaw bones from renal cell carcinoma as the sole primary source: Systematic review.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been known for its high propensity of metastasis to unusual locations, and jaw bones (JBs) are one among those sites. The literature has reported several studies analyzing metastatic tumors to the oral region, but very little research work has been published to date to analyze solely JB metastasis (JBM) via RCC. The goal of this study was to examine the published cases of metastasis to JBs from RCC as the sole primary source till date.

Clinical Effectiveness of Biomaterials in Indirect Pulp Therapy Treatment of Young Permanent Molars with Deep Carious Lesions: A Case-Control Study.

Aim: The present case-control study was planned to assess the comparative efficacy of resin-modified calcium silicate, resin-modified glass ionomer, and Dycal as pulp capping agents in indirect pulp therapy for deeply carious young permanent molars.

Materials And Methods: Thirty deeply carious young posterior teeth were treated by indirect pulp therapy. During the treatment, the cavity floor was lined with TheraCal or resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) in the study group and with Dycal (control group) followed by GC IX and composite restoration.

Evolving concepts in intracranial pressure monitoring - from traditional monitoring to precision medicine.

A wide range of acute brain injuries, including both traumatic and non-traumatic causes, can result in elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), which in turn can cause further secondary injury to the brain, initiating a vicious cascade of propagating injury. Elevated ICP is therefore a neurological injury that requires intensive monitoring and time-sensitive interventions. Patients at high risk for developing elevated ICP undergo placement of invasive ICP monitors including external ventricular drains, intraparenchymal ICP monitors, and lumbar drains.

Recent Advancements and Applications of Nanosensors in Oral Health: Revolutionizing Diagnosis and Treatment.

Advances in the field of nanomaterials are laying the foundation for the fabrication of nanosensors that are sensitive, selective, specific, cost-effective, biocompatible, and versatile. Being highly sensitive and selective, nanosensors are crucial in detecting small quantities of analytes and early diagnosis of diseases. These devices, operating on the nanoscale, detect signals, such as physical, chemical, optical, electrochemical, or biological, and then transduce them into a readable form.

To evaluate the role of mast cells on angiogenesis in various grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma: A histochemical study.

Background: Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer, and 90% of them are oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). As most OSCC are asymptomatic and are only detected at an advanced stage, the 5-year survival rate is only 50%. Thus, using novel prognosticators can minimise mortality and morbidity associated with OSCC.

CBCT as a Novel Tool for Gender Determination using Radio Morphometric Analysis of Maxillary Sinus-A Prospective Study.

Introduction: The maxillary sinuses are air-filled cavities which vary in size and shape. Sinus radiography has been widely used in the determination of the gender of the individual, especially in forensic investigation for human identification and sexing of individuals. The advanced radiographic techniques like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), especially the axial and coronal sections, have been considered as a subtle concept in forensic odontology.

Attachment Wear in Different Clear Aligner Therapy: A Comparative Study.

Background: Because of its ease and visual attractiveness, clear aligner therapy has grown in popularity as an orthodontic treatment option. On the other hand, the results of therapy may be impacted by attachment wear. Comparing attachment wear in three distinct clear aligner systems-System A, System B, and System C-was the goal of this investigation.

Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, Locus of Control, Self-Reported Oral Health and Oral Health Status among Nursing Students in Moradabad.

Introduction: Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL), locus of control, dental health as assessed by oneself and oral health situation have all been the subject of several research, but none of them have yet been investigated in combination.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 525 nursing students to investigate these ideas. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) scale was employed to evaluate the standard of living associated with oral health.

Evaluation of Post-Operative Pain and Healing in Single-Visit versus Multiple-Visit Root Canal Therapy.

Background: " (RCT)" is a common endodontic procedure targeted at preserving teeth compromised by pulp infection. The debate over the optimal number of visits for RCT remains inconclusive, with single- and multiple-visit approaches both being advocated.

Methods: A prospective research was conducted on 100 subjects undergoing RCT at a tertiary care center.

Mechanisms and Intervention of Prebiotic Foods in Musculoskeletal Health.

The review focuses primarily on collating and analyzing the mechanistic research data that discusses the function of prebiotics to halt the frailty of musculoskeletal system. Musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs) are frequently reported to co-occur within their own categories of conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis owing to their overlapping pathogenesis. Consequently, the same drugs are often used to manage the complications of most types.

Spesolimab Reduces Inflammation in Generalized Pustular Psoriasis: Molecular Characterization of Flare Treatment in EFFISAYIL 1.

EFFISAYIL 1 was a randomized, placebo-controlled study of spesolimab, an anti-IL-36 receptor antibody, in patients presenting with a generalized pustular psoriasis flare. Treatment with spesolimab led to more rapid pustular and skin clearance versus treatment with placebo in approximately half of the patients. In this study, we present histologic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses of lesional and nonlesional skin and whole-blood samples collected from EFFISAYIL 1.

Indian Society of Periodontology Good Clinical Practice Recommendations for Peri-implant Care.

Current implant therapy is a frequently employed treatment for individuals who have lost teeth, as it offers functional and biological advantages over old prostheses. Concurrently, active exploration of intervention strategies aims to prevent the progression of peri-implant diseases and manage the existing peri-implant tissue damage. Indian Society of Periodontology has recognized the need for systematic documents to update the everyday clinical practice of general dental practitioners and has provided evidence-based consensus documents, namely good clinical practice recommendations from time to time to raise the oral health-related awareness and standards of oral health-care delivery across the country.
