Abstract

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is mucocutaneous and chronic infl ammatory disease of unclear pathogenesis. OLPusually affects the mucous membrane of oral cavity. It is an autoimmune disorder araising from severaletiological factors like genetics, stress, virus, dental restorative materials, drugs and systemic diseases. It isa T-cell mediated autoimmune disease usually encountered by dentists and dermatologists. Although muchwork is being done on this disorder, there is still uncertainty over the specifi c etiopathogenesis and treatment.Because there is a risk of reported malignant potential with this disease, the patient needs early diagnosis andproper management. This article reviews mainly the etiology, pathogenetic mechanisms through which thisunique disorder occurs along with the aspects of clinical, histopathological and treatment.

Abstract

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the frequent clinical oral diseases causing painful ulcerationin the oral cavity. It is easy to define the clinical features and characteristics of this disease, etiology andpathogenesis remains unclear. As a result, the treatment options are still inadequate with the ability to reducethe duration, healing time, rate of recurrence and conclusive intervention. The review article aims to discussthe pathogenesis, clinical features, different treatment modalities and updates that are currently available andoffer the clinician a clear and detailed picture of how to deal with RAS in an appropriate manner.

Abstract

The relationship between periodontal and endodontic disease has been a matter of speculation for manyyears. The endodontium and periodontium influence each other during health, function and disease. Thisreview gives a fair knowledge about several aspects of endo-perio relationship. Their exist three mainpathways of communication between the pulp and periodontium. They are the apical foramen, the accessorycanals and the dentinal tubules. The apical foramen and the lateral canals come under vascular pathwayswhereas the dentinal tubule comes under the tubular pathway. The pulp and periodontal tissues are derivedfrom highly vascular mesenchymal tissues of the tooth germ. The apical foramen and lateral canals maintainthe vascular connection between these tissues throughout the tooth development.

Abstract

Cracked tooth syndrome(CTS) remains a big challenge to dentist because of its variable, bizarre clinicalpresentation, unpredictable symptoms and diagnostic dilemma. Based on the severity of the symptoms anddepth of tooth structure involved, the treatment planning and management of CTS varies from one case toanother or from one tooth to another in the same individual. The prognosis of such tooth continues to bequestionable and needs continuous analysis. This article aims to resolve some of the confusion surrroundingtooth cracks diagnosis and different treatment options.

Abstract

Background: Lower eyelid malposition is a known complication of lower (lid) blepharoplasty surgery.The prevention of this complication is easier than its treatment. Over the past 10 years lot of patients havehad lower blepharoplasties with a canthopexy procedure and in some cases a tarsal strip canthoplasty. Thecriterion for a lateral tarsal strip canthoplasty was a lid distraction distance greater than or equal to 10 mm.Lid distraction distance is the distance the eyelid can be pulled away from the globe after the initial skinincision has been made and measured with calipers. If the eyelid can be pulled away from the globe less than10 mm, then a canthopexy is performed, which occurred in 98% of cases. Patients had lateral canthopexiesregardless of age or preoperative assessment. Herein, we describe a simple method of canthopexy that canbe performed on most patients having a lower blepharoplasty, to not only achieve a cosmetically superiorresult but also to prevent eyelid malposition or ectropion.Conclusion: We have described a simple prophylactic canthopexy suturing technique that all surgeonsperforming lower blepharoplasty can do to prevent rounding or ectropion. Naturally, the more cases that aredone, the more accurate will be the eyelid position and adequacy of eyelid tension achieved. Lateral tarsalstrip canthoplasty is also used in more advanced cases of lid laxity.

Abstract

Breast cancer accounts for 19-34 % of all cancer cases among women in India. There is a high mortalityassociated with breast cancer due to late stage diagnosis, as patients usually present at an advanced stageof the disease. This can be attributed to factors like lack of awareness among the patients and non-existentbreast cancer screening programs. This study highlights the need for awareness about breast cancer amongwomen, propagation of valid information regarding the disease and promotes early detection of breast cancer
