Background: Type 2 diabetes, the most predominant type of diabetes, can lead to complications in the oral cavity and body due to its impact on physiological functioning, especially the nervous system. Objectives: The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of hyperglycemia on dental nerves as a potential oral sign for detecting untreated type 2 diabetics. Materials and Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional observational study involving 500 patients (355 diabetics and 145 nondiabetics). Nerve responses (3685 teeth) were recorded by subjecting them to electrical stimulation using an electric pulp tester. Standard deviation, Student t-test, and Pearson correlation were used to determine the mean of nerve responses, compare groups, and correlation, respectively. Results: Significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed in nerve responses between anterior and posterior teeth for both groups. Diabetics had a lower nerve response (P < 0.05), and a positive correlation between nerve response and blood glucose levels (r = 0.259 for anterior and r = 0.208 for posterior teeth) was observed. Additionally, positive correlations were found between nerve response and age/duration of type 2 diabetes (r = 0.18 for anterior and r = 0.21 for posterior teeth). Conclusion: The study suggests delayed nerve reactions in the dental pulp of diabetics, indicating possible noninvasive assessment of nerve tissue damage with an electric pulp tester device.
背景：2 型糖尿病是最主要的糖尿病类型，由于其对生理功能，尤其是神经系统的影响，可导致口腔和身体的并发症。研究目的本研究旨在探讨高血糖对牙神经的影响，以此作为检测未经治疗的 2 型糖尿病患者的潜在口腔体征。材料和方法：本研究是一项横断面观察研究，涉及 500 名患者（355 名糖尿病患者和 145 名非糖尿病患者）。通过使用电牙髓测试仪对牙齿进行电刺激，记录神经反应（3685 颗牙齿）。标准差、学生 t 检验和皮尔逊相关性分别用于确定神经反应的平均值、比较组别和相关性。结果两组前牙和后牙的神经反应存在显著差异（P < 0.05）。糖尿病患者的神经反应较低（P < 0.05），神经反应与血糖水平之间呈正相关（前牙 r = 0.259，后牙 r = 0.208）。此外，还发现牙神经反应与 2 型糖尿病患者的年龄/持续时间呈正相关（前牙 r = 0.18，后牙 r = 0.21）。结论：研究表明，糖尿病患者牙髓中的神经反应延迟，这表明可以使用电动牙髓测试仪对神经组织损伤进行无创评估。

Background: Teeth are preferred in age assessment as they are highly resilient structures. As secondary dentine deposition increases with age, the pulp chamber gradually decreases in size. Objectives: To estimate the human dental age with segmentation software in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) maxillary and mandibular canine pulp volumes (PV) and compare with chronological age. Methods: Fifty-six CBCT images of both sexes, ranging from 15 to 55 years were selected. A segmentation software was used to measure all permanent canine PV. A regression model was developed, and Pearson's correlation test was used to assess the correlation between chronological age and canine PV. Results: Pearson's correlation coefficients between age and PV are negative for all four canines. Further, the maxillary right canine showed the highest prediction for chronological age and was statistically significant (P < 0.05) with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.315. A reliable accuracy of age estimation was obtained among age groups between 30 and 40 years with a mean standard error of ± 1.86 years. Conclusion: The study showed that the maxillary right canine PV using segmentation software can be used as a predictive tool in estimating dental age.

Background: Turmeric is a naturally occurring polyphenol that alleviates many diseases. The main phytochemical in them is curcumin which has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiseptic, and analgesic properties. Poor solubility and bioavailability due to its hydrophobic nature are its drawback. Objectives: This research aimed to green synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using turmeric extract and to analyze its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial potential among oral pathogens. Materials and Methods: Turmeric silver nanoparticles (TuAgNPs) were analyzed by UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens were evaluated. Results: UV-visible spectrophotometry of TuAgNPs showed its maximum absorption peak at 440 nm. TEM image exhibited spherical-shaped AgNPs with a size of about 30 nm. They showed 88% strong antioxidant and 83% anti-inflammatory activities at 50 μg/mL. Biosynthesized TuAgNPs showed its potent effect against Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans at 25 μg/mL, and Enterococcus faecalis at 50 μg/mL. Conclusion: The development of effective green-synthesized TuAgNPs showed strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and broad spectrum antimicrobial potential against oral pathogens. Biosynthesis of novel TuAgNPs could be efficiently utilized in the application of treating various oral mucosal lesions.

Lasers have made great strides in therapeutics and have become indispensable tools for the excision of soft-tissue lesions from the oral cavity. This quick progress can be attributed to the fact that laser excision provides excellent hemostasis, better field visibility, and maximum postoperative patient comfort. Following is the series of case reports where intra-oral soft-tissue lesions were excised using a diode laser.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a mucocutaneous disease. Various treatment methods have been used in the past; however, a complete cure of OLP still remains an enigma. This case report highlights low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as a treatment option with minimum side effects. The outcomes of the treatment results in this case also suggest against the simultaneous use of LLLT with corticosteroids.

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The most important marker for HBV infection is HBsAg. In case of diagnosis of infectious disease, discordant results may have serious consequences among the patients as it causes unnecessary mental stress and tension. For proper diagnosis of infection as well as disease management and prevention, the identification of appropriate test kit is necessary. Objectives: The aim of the study was to calculate the prevalence of hepatitis B in dental patients by Hepacard test. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2019 to May 2021. A total of 650 blood samples were received for HBsAg diagnosis in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. Each blood sample was tested for HBsAg using rapid card test [Hepacard Kit]. Result: The presence of HBsAg was noted among 47 patients from a total of 603. Hence, the prevalence of HBsAg among studied patients was 7.8%. Conclusion: Dental professionals have a responsibility to prioritize patient well-being, and incorporating comprehensive testing protocols is one such step to improve healthcare standards.

Background: Variations in pneumatization. of the sphenoid sinus can affect suprasellar, parasellar, and middle cranial fossa procedures. A 3-D imaging modality, like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), overcomes superimpositions and magnification to provide an efficient evaluation of anatomical components across multiple planes. Objective: The purpose of this study is to conduct an epidemiological assessment inspired by the classifications provided by Gibelli et al. and Bilgir et al. on the morphological variants of the sphenoid sinus pneumatization using CBCT in a South Indian population. Materials and Methods: Around 154 CBCT images of sphenoid sinuses devoid of pathologies were examined. Descriptive analysis and Pearson Chi-square test were evaluated using SPSS 22.0 software. Results: Patients had a prevalence of 5.84% presellar, 27.2% sellar, and 51.9% postsellar posteroanterior pneumatization but no conchal pneumatization. About 14.2% showed aberrant pneumatization involving the pterygoid, anterior clinoid, and dorsum sellae. Conclusion: A thorough understanding of surgical anatomy and its variances is necessary to perform surgery with minimal possibility of human error and morbidity. To achieve this, a comprehensive classification of sphenoid sinus pneumatization is required as there is a disparity among the various study results presented in the previous literature.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of oral cancer with multi-factorial causes. Chronic irritation of oral mucosa from ill-fitting dentures has often been mentioned as a contributing factor in the development of oral cancer. There is a unique category of non-smoking non-drinking (NSND) patients reported with carcinoma which usually occurs in women. In contrast to this, our report includes a male patient who is an NSND patient. This case report includes a rare occurrence of carcinoma induced by ill-fitting prosthesis.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the accessory salivary glands is a rare occurrence, accounting for less than 5% of head and neck cancers and 10% of all salivary gland tumors. In this article, we report a case of MEC with a unique clinical presentation mimicking a vascular malformation. It is very uncommon to find a MEC in the retromolar region. The patient was a 21-year-old male who had noticed a swelling in his mouth for 4 years. It was clinically diagnosed as a vascular malformation, and later radiographic evaluations affirmed the fact that it was a tumor arising from the minor salivary glands. The patient underwent surgery in a private hospital, with no signs of recurrence postoperatively.
