The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the ischolar_main proximity of maxillary and mandibular inter radicular sites using orthopantomogram (OPG) and cone beam computed tomograph (CBCT) for the primary stability of mini implants. The cone beam computed tomographic images and orthopantomographic images of 70 subjects were taken. The interdental sites from distal of canine to mesial of second molar are examined for ischolar_main proximity. The ischolar_main proximity was measured at four levels from cementoenamel junction in 70 CBCT and OPG images. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the values obtained from CBCT and OPG images; the ischolar_main proximity was least 6mm above the cementoenamel junction in maxilla and mandible in the range of 1.09-3.62mm, 1.45-4.17 mm respectively. The study concluded that CBCT images are more accurate and reliable. At 5mm from CEJ in the region between the first molar and second premolar in maxilla and in the area between first molar to first premolar in mandible the ischolar_main proximity is least and adequate for mini implant placement.Keywords

Pigmentation of oral mucosa occurs due to accumulation of pigments and thereby leading to colour change. Pigmented lesions of oral cavity can be physiologic or pathologic. The pigments causing discolouration can be either from external sources (exogenous) or internal sources(endogenous). Certain drugs can also cause pigmentation of the oral mucosa. Benign and malignant tumours of melanocytic origin can also be pigmented in nature. Endocrine diseases (adrenal) can also cause pigmentation. Diagnosing pigmented lesions requires thorough knowledge of various causes and proper diagnosis is important for planning the treatment.Keywords

People use mouth rinses as a part of their oral hygiene in their day to day life. Although rinses impart some benefits to users, improper use of mouth rinses may result in various side effects1. Usually mouthwashes are antiseptic solutions intended to reduce the microbial load in the oral cavity, although other mouthwashes might be given for other reasons such as for their analgesic, anti- inflammatory or anti-fungal action.Keywords

Periodontal abscess is the third most frequent dental emergency, representing 7–14% of all the dental emergencies.. Numerous aetiologies have been implicated. The diagnosis is done by the analysis of the signs and symptoms and by the usage of supplemental diagnostic aids. The treatment of the periodontal abscess has been a challenge for many decades. In the past, the periodontal abscess in periodontal diseased teeth was the main reason for tooth extraction. Today, three therapeutic approaches are being discussed in dentistry, that include, drainage and debridement, systemic antibiotics and periodontal surgical procedures which are applied in the chronic phase of the disease.The localization of the acute periodontal abscess and the possibility of obtaining drainage are essential considerations for successful treatment.The aim of this review is to give a clear idea about periodontal abscess and its management.

By definition Dental caries is an irreversible microbial disease of the calcified tissues of the teeth, characterized by demineralization of the inorganic portion and destruction of the organic substance of the tooth, which often leads to cavitations. The etiology of dental caries is generally agreed to be a complex problem complicated by many indirect factors that obscure the direct cause or causes. There is no universally accepted opinion for the etiology of dental caries. The oral flora and the saliva plays a very important contributing factor in dental caries. Saliva is the most valuable oral fluid is critical to the preservation and management of oral health. Saliva containing various organic and inorganic substances provides primary natural protection for teeth and soft tissues in the oral cavity assists in mastication, deglutition and digestion of food. The secretion of saliva can be affected due to various local and systemic causes. However if a patient is taking medication and has altered salivary secretion the differential diagnosis should include the possibility of an adverse drug reaction. The drugs may lead to alteration in the flow rate of saliva. Salivary dysfunction as a clinical entity has received considerable attention in recent years. This article critically reviews the dental hard tissue alterations especially dental caries that are caused due to reduced salivary secretion as a result of long term medication.Keywords

Autoimmune blistering diseases are a group of disorders in which the body attacks the healthy tissue, causing blistering lesions primarily affecting the skin and mucous and membranes. The symptoms and severity of blistering diseases vary from one person to another, even among individuals with the same disorder. In some cases, blistering lesions can involve a significant portion of the skin. Although, there is no cure for autoimmune blistering diseases, they can often be controlled with treatment. In other cases, autoimmune blistering diseases if left untreated can eventually cause life-threatening complications.Keywords

Human whole mouth saliva (WMS) is secreted by salivary glands, namely parotid, submandibular/sublingual and other minor glands of the oral cavity. The human saliva consists of various proteins and peptides which serve as diagnostic aids in detection of various contagious and organ related diseases. Saliva can be used to detect various systemic and oral diseases. In any disease early diagnosis helps in proper treatment planning and better prognosis. Saliva has a great potential as a diagnostic fluid and offers advantage over serum and other biological fluids by an economic and non- invasive collection method for monitoring of systemic health and disease progression.This review examines the diagnostic application of saliva for systemic diseases.Keywords

The cystic lesions that affect the oral and maxillofacial region are predominantly odontogenic in origin. The odontogenic cell rests entangled within tissue of the jaws such as cell rests of Malassez, cell rests of serre, and enamel organ leads to its formation. The factors leading to the enlargement of these jaw cysts are increased the permeability of cyst wall, increased the protein content of the cyst fluid, and when the intracystic fluid pressure on the jaw bone is increased. This review is an attempt to analyze and compare the components of cystic fluids such as albumin, prealbumin, globulin, and total protein content among various odontogenic cysts.Keywords

On focus with route of drug administration, the oral cavity is an attractive and the safest site for the delivery of drugs. As an advantage it can overcome acidic environment thereby causing instability of the drug, extensive first pass metabolism and low bioavailability of drug results an inadequate absorption. The buccal mucosa is rich in blood supply and relatively permeable. Buccal cavity was found to be most accessible site for both local and systemic delivery of drug. This review presents a brief description of advantages and limitations of oral mucosal drug delivery, mechanisms of drug permeation followed by current developments in this drug delivery systems.Keywords
