Awareness of fluoride in tooth paste among patients

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the awareness of fluoride containing tooth paste among the adult patients. Objective: The main objective is to know the patients knowledge about fluoride containing tooth paste and its benefits in prevention of caries. Background: The role of fluoride is well documented in the caries process when it is present in the oral cavity. This study helps in assessing patients knowledge about fluoride containing tooth paste and its effects in prevention.

Oral habits in children-A prevalence study

Aim: The aim of the study is to find out the most common oral habit prevalent in children. Background: Oral habits, especially if they persist beyond the preschool age, have been implicated as an important environmental etiological factor associated with the development of malocclusion. Prevention of the habit may help in eliminating the malocclusion. Early detection and elimination of the habit will go a long way in reducing and eliminating the incidence of malocclusion.

Assessment of the different types of failure related to removable partial denture among patients visited piramerd dental center

Background: Patients’ satisfaction and complication rates of removable partialdentures (RPDs) can affect patient acceptance and compliance in using RPDs. Aim: this study aims to determine complications and rate of failure of RPDs. Methodology: This study evaluated the complaint of 70 patients (42 males, 28 females), aged between 38-67 years, who were treated with acrylic removable partial denture and suffering from one or more problems related to failure of the RPD.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of mandible: A rare occurance

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor is a rare neoplasm of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. It clinically manifest as mass with rapid development that may occur at almost any site of body, but rarely arise in oral cavity. The lesion has a potential for recurrence, persistent local growth, progression to frank sarcoma and metastasis. We hereby describe a case of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of mandible occurring in a 45 year old lady. Because of some aggressive clinical, histological, and radiological features, this lesion may be confused with a malignant tumor.

Synovial haemangioma of the knee: A case report

We report our clinical experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with synovial hemangioma. Synovial hemangiomas are uncommon causes of recurrent, nonspecific joint complaints and occur most often at the knee joint. Non traumatic joint swelling combined with recurrent hemorrhagic joint effusions must be considered signs of a synovial hemangioma. Although no preoperative diagnostic tool enables confirmation of the diagnosis, and MRI seems to be the diagnostic investigation of choice. It is important for the clinician to be aware of the existence of this disease.

Recent advances and modifications of dental restorative materials - A review

The dental restorative materials represent a unique class of biomaterials with some restrictions in physical, mechanical and biological properties like biocompatibility, aesthetics, and ultimate material properties. Fortunately, the dental restorative materials have been the focus of a great deal of research in recent years with the goal of improving restoration performances by changing the initiation systems (composite), fillers (GIC) and by developing novel polymerization strategies (composites) etc.

Effects of dates fruit (phoenix dactylifera l.) in the female reproductive process

Date fruit has a high nutritional value that has benefits for health. It has been known the effects of date fruit on the male reproductive system to strengthen the spermatogenesis process, sex hormone regulation, to increase gonadotropin and aphrodisiac activity, but very little research of the dates benefits on the female reproductive system. Date's may has effect on oocyte quality, the interaction of sperm and ovum, implantation and early embryonic development through an antioxidant mechanism. The antioxidants of date fruit can also be useful for the DNA repair from pro-oxidant damage.

Miracle of saliva in diagnosis of oral cancer

Using saliva for disease diagnostics and health surveillance is a promising approach as collecting saliva is relatively easy and non-invasive. Over the past two decades, using salivary biomarkers specifically for early cancer detection has attracted much research interest, especially for cancers occurring in the oral cavity and oropharynx, for which the five-year survival rate (62%) is still one of the lowest among all major human cancers.
