Abstract

Dermatoglyphics is the study of fingerprints and skin patterns. Dermal configurations appear during the 12th week of intrauterine life and are completely established by the 24th week. These configurations, except the overall size, are said to remain constant throughout an individual’s lifetime. Objective: To assess the relationship between fingerprint patterns and skeletal malocclusion. Methods: Fingerprint patterns were collected using the ink method from 90 subjects who were divided into skeletal class I, II, and III malocclusion groups of 30 subjects each. Results: The loop pattern was more frequent in patients with skeletal class I and II malocclusion, and the whorl pattern was more frequent in those with class III malocclusion. Conclusion: The present study attempted to assess the relationship between dermatoglyphic patterns with skeletal malocclusion to use as an indicator of developing malocclusion at an early age.

Abstract

An increase in lipid peroxidation and a decrease in antioxidant activity have been reported in patients with cancer in comparison with normal subjects. Objective: To estimate the status of serum and saliva by assessing the serum and salivary vitamin E levels in patients with oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer. Methods: A total of 90 participants were enrolled in this study. 30 subjects with oral potentially malignant disorders, 30 sub¬jects with oral cancer, and 30 healthy subjects (controls). Serum and saliva samples were collected and vitamin E levels were assessed. The data were analyzed using ANOVA for between-group comparison. Post hoc Tukey analysis was used for comparing the two study groups with the control group. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine concordance between the groups. Results: Mean vitamin E levels in serum and saliva were sig¬nificantly decreased in oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer compared with controls. Conclusion: As significant reduction in vitamin E levels was observed in saliva, it was evident that salivary vitamin E levels potentially be used as a reliable, non invasive biomarker for diagnosing and managing oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer.

Abstract

Odontomes are the most common type of odontogenic tumors. Odontomes are of two major types i.e, complex and compound odontoma. They are usually asymptomatic and, hence, are seen as accidental findings on a radiograph. They may be associated with an unerupted or delayed eruption of a permanent tooth. Usually, odontomes are diagnosed at an early age. This case report provides a case of compound odontoma causing impaction of the right maxillary central incisor with its clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features and its management. Case report: Here, a 13-year-old patient reported with unerupted maxillary central incisor on the right side. Clinical examination revealed a firm to hard swelling, and radiographic examination revealed multiple radiopaque toothlike structures in the region of 11. These were removed surgically and histopathologically, confirming the diagnosis of compound odontoma. The maxillary right central incisor was then orthodontically brought to its correct position. The patient was recalled for regular follow-ups. Conclusion: Early and timely diagnosis will help in the treatment of this condition at an early stage and thus reduce complications in tooth eruption and other abnormalities associated with it.
