Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most typical type of oral malignant neoplasm. As per literature, OSCC of the alveolar ridge account for 9% of all the oral carcinomas. It shares clinical similarity with various forms of inflammatory gingival lesions and is very commonly misdiagnosed in our routine dental practice. The dentist should have precise knowledge regarding the clinical manifestation of this deadly disease as early diagnosing and prompt treatment can scale back morbidity and mortality of the

Background: The fractures of the ramus of the mandible are generally negligibly displaced. This is because of the anatomical situation of the ramus between the masseter and the medial pterygoid muscle. The present study was conducted to assess ramus of mandible fractures in patients. Materials and Methods: Present study was carried out on 125 subjects of both genders with fractures of ramus of mandible. The reason of injury, pretreatment occlusion, treatment protocol (open or closed), period of MMF and post-treatment occlusion was documented. Results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: Out of 125 patients, 75 were males and 50 females. Prime reason of fracture of ramus was road traffic accident (RTA) in 87 cases, fall in 26 and assault in 12 cases. The difference was statistically significant with p value and closed treatment in 20 cases. Conclusion: This study revealed that fractures of ramus are not commonly seen. Open reduction and internal fixation of fracture of ramus warrants acceptable functional and anatomic reduction. Keywords: Ramus, Mandible, Fracture.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyse distribution of mast cells in different zones in the capsule of radicular cyst and to determine its role in mechanism of cystic expansion. Materials and Methods: 20 formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue block from the diagnosed cases of radicular cyst were included and was cut into 5mm thickness. The staining of the tissue sections was done using freshly prepared Toluidine blue solution and mounted using DPX. The mast cell counting was carried out under 20 X magnifications in randomly selected 10 areas and the sections was divided into three zones; Subepithelial, Intermediate and Deep. Result: Mast cells were found to be higher in the Intermediate zone (7.65%) followed by the Subepithelial (13.35%) and Deep zone(6.05%). Kruskal-Wallis test was applied which showed, no significant difference was found between the zones with respect to the mast cells (P>0.05). Conclusion: The present study showed increased activity of mast cell in the intermediate zone indicating breakdown of capsular extracellular matrix in the subepithelial layer as well as enhancing increased osteoclastic activity in the deeper areas thereby leading to the cystic enlargement. Keywords: Mast cells, Radicular cyst, Toluidine blue.

Objective: The destinations of this examination were to direct a review of oral biopsied recorded to oral lesions in Basrah and compare with other studies. Materials and Methods: Between 2012 and 2017, 560 biopsies recorded for oral lesions from the histopathological laboratories of Basrah Dental College, Basrah General Hospital and Al-Sadder Teaching Hospital and data from Basrah Cancer Registry. The biopsy result classified into six types: reactionary lesions, benign lesions, malignant lesions, cystic lesions, salivary gland lesions and Immunologically mediated lesions. From the oral biopsy records, information gathered included age grouped as follow: under 20, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and above 69. Sex: male and female. The anatomical area includes buccal mucosa, the floor of the mouth, gingiva, lower and upper lips, lower and upper jaws and tongue. Results: The all outnumber of biopsy recorded was 560 report, about (n=283) 50.54% of the lesions taken from the male while (n=277) 49.46% were for females. The mean age at introduction was 38 years with the age range of 1 to 85 years. The peak age was ages underneath 20 years 124 (22.1%). The dominant part of the lesions has influenced the tongue 101 (18%) followed by buccal mucosa 89(15.9%)and gingiva 88(15.7%). Regular pathology discovered was reactionary injuries about 240(42.9%) biopsies, Malignant lesions accounted 107 (19.1%), Benigne lesions making up 91 (16.3%), Cyst 74(13.2%), Salivary gland lesions about 34(6.1%) biopsies and the Immunologically interceded lesions were 15 (2.9%) Conclusions: In this study the biopsies record were reactionary lesions and generally among young patients, that means to increase the education among those patients to improve their oral health since they did not seek treatment in primary dental care. Keywords: Biopsy, Oral lesions, Basrah.

A single recurrent laryngeal nerve on each side is a constant finding in all thyroid surgery. It is crucial to preserve the function of vocal cord during thyroid surgery by identifying the course of the nerve. But anatomical variations of the nerve may be encountered which increases the likelihood of iatrogenic injury. We here in report two cases of duplication of recurrent laryngeal nerve and its surgical importance. Keywords: Reccurent laryngeal nerve (RLN), Thyroidectomy, Duplication.

Background: Infected hardware is populated with bacterial colonies. The present study was conducted to determine hardware removal rate in maxillofacial surgery. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 580 patients of both genders treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Type of bone in which hardware was used and reason for hardware removal was assessed. Results: Out of 580 patients, males were 320 and females were 260. Hardware removal rate was in 11 out of 132 cases of maxilla, 24 out of 218 cases of mandible, 16 out of 125 cases of zygomatic, 10 out of 75 cases of nasal bone and 2 out of 30 cases of orbit. The difference was significant (P common cause of removal of hardware was infection in 20 cases, wound in 12, malunion in 11, pain and resorption in 6 each, non union in 5 and refracture in 2 cases. The difference was significant (P Table III shows that out of 410 titanium implants, 42 had failure and out of 170 stainless steel implants, 21 showed failures. Conclusion: Authors found that most common cause of removal of hardware was infection, wound, malunion, pain, resorption, non union and refracture. Keywords: Pain, Resorption, Non union.

A name called coronavirus is everywhere which started in Wuhan in CHINA and now spread all over the world. It has become now pandemic. The first case came on 17th January 2020 in China. It has affected globally there are 1,426,096 in this total death are 81,865 recovered are 300,054. The United States of America is the most affected with 396,223 confirmed cases with 12,722 deaths. In India there are 5,274 confirmed cases and 152 total deaths, most of the confirmed cases are from Maharashtra with 1018 confirmed cases with 61 deaths followed by Tamilnadu with 690 confirmed cases and 6 deaths. Many alternative medicines are being used in India like the department of Ayush under the government of India prescribed various ayurvedic and umami drugs for prophylaxis and there is also the use of hydroxychloroquine. In this article, we will see various managing strategies for Novel Coronavirus.
