The biologic behavior of the oral lesions can be determined by their active phases of cell division, cellsentering the cell cycle and their proliferation. AgNORs (argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions) stainingis the one of the cytochemical technique used to evaluate the cell proliferation of oral lesions. Tumor cellsin premalignant and malignant conditions usually exhibits a rise in synthesis of abnormal proteins andproportionately there is a increase in the AgNOR material. The aim of this study was to review the conceptsof proliferative activity of cells of malignant and premalignant conditions through the AgNORs stainingprocedure and thereby proving the usefulness of AgNORs in diagnosing the oral lesions.

Endocrine system regulating hormonal function is one of the most important system of the body. Dysregulationin which can directly affect the oral cavity. Their systemic involvement also sometimes affects the oralhealth. Though other than diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders rest of the hormonal diseases are rare butnot non-existent. So a proper knowledge about the clinical presentations should be kept by the dentists toavoid any risks and difficulties regarding their diagnosis. Conditions like burning mouth, dry oral cavity,and altered tastes can also be an after effect of menopause should be ruled out by dentist before coming to adefinitive diagnosis. Careful counseling of the patients especially women regarding their conditions shouldbe done by keeping in mind the psychological stress they undergo during that stage of life. So this reviewcirculates around the oral manifestations due to hormonal imbalance in a human body and post menopausalwomen.

Dentigerous cyst is the second most common cyst. It is usually associated with the impacted thirdmolars, canines and premolars. Clinically they present with asymptomatic swelling, bony expansion andradiographically they are well defined and the larger cyst leads to destruction of bone later leading topathological fracture. They are chances where this cyst can be misdiagnosed when seen only clinicallywithan infected tooth. Radiographic investigation is the gold standard in diagnosing the lesion and its extentfor treatment planning. The protein content of the cyst fluid also helps in the diagnosis. Here is a case wherethe patient complained of a decayed tooth along with swelling in the left side of face and how the diagnosischanged after proper history and radiographic investigation.

The discovery of Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) was through its structural and functionalhomology with parathyroid hormone. It is secreted by cancers and it interacts with parathyroid hormonereceptors in kidney and bone to cause humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy and paraneoplastic syndrome andplays an important role in cellular differentiation and proliferation, embryonic development, transepithelialcalcium transport and in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction.Its intracrine, paracrine and endocrinemodes of action play a central role in organogenesis and drives numerous physiologic and pathologicconditions.It is initially translated as a preprohormone which is posttranslationally processed to yield afamily of mature secretory forms. The aminoterminal portion of the molecule is homologous to parathyroidhormone.As PTHrP plays a vital role in the regulation of endochondral bone development it was surmisedthat it could also serve as an ideal biologic skeletal maturity indicator to detect peak pubertal growth spurt.

Adequate tooth preparation is essential for the fit of fixed prosthodontics. Insufficient tooth preparationappears to be responsible for premature failures due to biological aspects, such as caries and endodonticor periodontal disease complications. The purpose of a fixed prosthodontic therapy may vary from therestoration of a single tooth to the rehabilitation of the complete occlusion. Successful preparations canbe obtained by systematically following these steps. It is important to critically evaluate each step beforeproceeding to the next step to ensure an optimal quality final restoration, which will serve the patient for along time.

The position of the occlusal plane forms the basis for the ideal teeth arrangement. Incorrect records of theocclusal plane would hamper aesthetics, phonetics, and mastication. It may affect the stability of a completedenture and ultimately result in alveolar bone resorption.Because the term plane refers geometrically to a flatsurface, it is not entirely correct to describe the occlusal surface as following a true plane.The form of the occlusal plane is directly related to specific functional requirements. In addition to thealignment of teeth in relationship to the arc of closure for best resistance to loading, it should permit easeof access for positioning of the food on the occlusal surfaces. This article is a review of the simple methodsof analysing the occlusal plane in dentulous plane and correcting the occlusal problems in these patients.

The articulator plays an important role in Dentistry, since it allows adequate diagnosis and treatment planningto promote the oral health of our patients. The Semi adjustable, Fully adjustable articulator reduces theintervention of Prosthodontists; when well employed, it simplifies the daily clinical routine, reducing thenumber of sessions, chair time and need of interventions in the patient’s mouth, besides allowing moreaccurate procedures, consequently without damages to the stomatognathic system.Dental articulatorsare instruments that reproduce jaw movements to varying degrees of accuracy. This article aims to give anoverview of Hanau wide vue and describe their applications and limitations.

Aim: The Purpose of the present review was to determine the occlusal plane in edentulous patients.Objective : Occlusal plane orientation is an important factor in the construction of a complete denture.Occlusal plane could be oriented using landmarks in the maxillary arch as well as the mandibular arch .Many methods have been used to establish the occlusal plane in complete dentures , but no method seemsto be fully acceptable. So it is always challenging for the prosthodontist to restore the existing occlusalcondition with a suitable prosthesis.Materials and Methods : : An electronic search engine without time/ language restrictions was taken fromGoogle Scholar .Conclusion: This article reviews different techniques to determine and correct occlusal plane. HIP wasparallel to the occlusal plane , Ala-tragal line passing through lower part of the ala of the nose to inferiorposition of the tragus was relatively parallel to maxillary residual ridge. Therefore, this may be a viablereference in complete denture prosthodontics.
