Salivary gland pathology is diverse in nature and mainly inflammatory or neoplastic. Salivary gland tumours present as painless enlarging masses. Most of the tumours are located in parotid glands and many of them are benign. The management of these tumours is difficult just like the diagnosis of benign and malignant tumours. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans provide some useful information in diagnosis, but most of the tumours will require surgical excision as a means of coming to a definitive diagnosis. Surgical approach is adequate for benign tumours and early low grade malignancies whereas post operative radiotherapy is needed for more advanced and high grade tumours with regional lymph node metastasis. The role of chemotherapy remains largely palliative. This article throws light on some of the more important aspects in the investigations of salivary gland pathologies.Keywords

Introduction: Widespread internet usage worldwide allows increased access to medical and dental information and can be used for patient self-education.Materials and Methods: Patients who were reported to the Department of Oral Medicine of Vinayaka Missions Sankarachariyar Dental College were involved in the present study. Institutional Ethical clearance was obtained. Consent was obtained from all the participants and a Questionnaire was given to all the participants. The participants were given a list of predetermined responses to choose their answer.Results: Results were calculated. Statistical analysis was done using Chi square test and p value was calculated. Conclusion: We may conclude that creating awareness amongst people of different educational backgrounds through appropriate means (following an individualized approach based on educational qualification) would increase internet usage for acquiring information on oral health.Keywords

Background: In the field of forensic sciences, Practitioners face major problems in personal identification of humans. Lip prints and finger prints can serve as a significant tool for such identification and gender determination as they are unique and distinguishable to each individual. Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate the comparison of lip print and finger print pattern in Salem population for sex determination. Methods: This study comprises 200 lip prints (100 females and 100 males) which were randomly selected among Salem population with age ranging from 15 to 30 years and were collected with lip stick with the help of a cellophane tape on a white sheet, the same people were asked to press the cleaned fingers of right hand over ink-stained pad and the impression of inked finger was then transferred to the same white paper. Lip prints and Finger prints were examined with magnifying hand lens for pattern distribution - classified, recorded and analyzed. Results: Our study proved that the prevalent lip print in the males and females were Type III and type I respectively. The most prevalent finger print in the male was whorls Type and in female it was Loop type. There is statistically significant association between of these two parameters (p value=0.001) and thus these combinations can be implicated in detection of individuals. Conclusion: The use of lip and finger print patterns has been suggested to be consistent and reliable to suspect a fault. Correlation of these two parameters has significant association and thus the result of the present study can provide an additional tool in forensic science for gender determination.

Introduction: Altered cellular microenvironment of oral cavity is a not an uncommon finding in diabetes mellitus patients. Environmental factors also play a pivotal role in cellular changes where tobacco smoking is one of the major risk factor. Aim & Objective: The aim of the study is to find the cytological changes in oral mucosal cells of diabetic people with and without smoking by using cytomorphometric analysis. Materials and Methods: Oral smears were taken from 50 diabetic patients where 25 with smoking habit and 25 without smoking habit from the oral pathology department of Vinayaka mission’s Sankarachariyar dental college and hospital. The smears were fixed with 95%ethyl alcohol and stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain. The stained section observed under image analyzer for cytomorphometric analysis. Results: Cellular and nuclear alterations was significantly increased in diabetic patients with smoking habit when compared to diabetic patients without smoking, with a significant P value of 0.001. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus influences a definite changes in cellular microenvironment in oral mucosa of smokers. However, further research is required to analyze the significance of these findings as a tool for identifying precancerous condition of oral tissues at an early stage.Keywords
