The use of titanium implants in dentistry has become increasingly popular due to their biocompatibility and excellent mechanical properties. However, the release of titanium ions from the implants has the potential to lead to local and systemic toxicity, which may cause implant failure or have negative consequences on the body. In this article, the causes of titanium toxicity are discussed, including implant design, surgical methods, and patient specific elements. It also looks at the possible health hazards of titanium poisoning, such as inflammation, allergic reaction and neurological issues.

The location and orientation of the inferior alveolar canal must be considered in any surgical procedures involving the posterior mandible. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the frequent structural changes of the inferior alveolar nerve course before conducting any treatment in this area. The aim of this study is to evaluate the course of inferior alveolar canal (IAC), visibility of the inferior alveolar canal, and Inferior Alveolar Canal origin in Punjabi population (North India).A total of 200 panoramic radiographs were selected and the course, visibility and origin of Inferior Alveolar Canal were evaluated on left and right side of the mandible. The collected data were subsequently processed and analyzed using SPSS software version 20. The most common type of canal on right and left side was curved type, and the less common was Angled type. In the region of the third molar, on Right side, the mandibular canal was partially visible in 1.5% of cases, clearly visible in 96.5%, and invisible in 2%; whereas on left side, it was clearly visible in 97%, partially visible in 5%and invisible in 2.5%. The entrance point of the canal was located in the middle third area of the ramus in 87% of cases on the right side and 90% cases on the left side, and that the entrance point of the canal in the lower third area was 7.5% on the right side and 3.5% on the left side.This study was done to evaluate course, visibility, and entry point of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Canal on the Orthopantomograph. In our present study, the most common type of canal on right and left side was , and the less common was The entrance point of the canal was located in majority in the on left and right side of the mandible. of Inferior Alveolar Canal was more on distal regions of the canal on the both the sides of the mandible.

With advancement of science and technology new methods of biometrics are being developed which aids in identification of individuals during time of disasters or in any legal matters. One of the most recently developed technology includes the use of tongue print in which human tongue serves as a source of evidence in human recognition. The human tongue is considered as one of the most reliable source of evidence as it is well protected in the oral cavity and can be easily stuck out of the mouth for inspection and along with this another great advantage of using our tongue as a source of identification is its uniqueness as no two same individuals have same tongue.

Surgical removal of third molars is still the most common routine surgical procedure done by oral and maxillofacial surgeons which is usually associated with postoperative sequelae. In order to avoid or minimize post-surgical complications such as swelling, pain and trismus, patients are advised to use proteolytic enzyme and NSAID’s along with routine antibiotics. 50 patients who have bilateral symmetrical impacted mandibular third molars were included in the study. Post operatively, all patients were given antibiotics and analgesics for 5 days. Patients were given bromelain for 5 days after the procedure on one side and trypsin-chymotrypsin for 5 days on the other side with an interval of 21 days between the two procedures. Patients were recalled on day 1, day 3 and day 7 for assessment of post- operative trismus, pain and swelling based on measuring inter-incisal distance, visual analogue scale and, facial reference points. Data was gathered and statistical assessment was done using SPSS software by using descriptive statistics and chi square test. The conclusion drawn from the study was that bromelain has a significant effect on swelling, mouth opening and pain after surgical removal of impacted third molar than chymotrypsin. We suggest its usage in reduction of swelling and pain post operatively after surgical removal of third molar. However further studies with larger sample size and randomizations are required to confirm the same.

Pain is an undesirable sensation that any person would never want to experience. Dental pain is unbearable as the inflammation of the dental pulp is encased by hard dentin and cementum unlike other parts of the body and that deteriorates the normal lifestyle of the person experiencing it. Patients experience extreme pain till the commencement of any dental treatment. Though the right treatment procedure relieves the cause of the pain, post-operative pain exists till the complete healing occurs. This proves to us the importance of dental analgesics. There are many analgesics available and not everything will be appropriate. Proper selection of analgesics helps in the betterment of the patient’s status. This article reviews the commonly available analgesics and their pharmacological aspects which help in managing dental pain.

Since the past few years, dental implants have gained popularity as best treatment option for missing teeth. Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning plays a key role in successful implant placements. Radiography is the most widely used method for assessing quality and quantity of bone in implant site. Selection of proper diagnostic imaging modality and their adequate interpretation is very important in implant planning. With the evolution of different imaging techniques ranging from two dimensional radiography to sophisticated three dimensional imaging modalities, proper selection of technique has become a challenge for the clinicians. However, cone beam computed tomography is the most commonly used technique for implant planning. But the serious effects caused by its radiation dose are also a concern. This article gives a short review about the uses of dental magnetic resonance imaging over cone beam computed tomography in implant planning.

Oral Verrucous Lesions (OVL) comprise of Verrucous Hyperplasia (VH), Verrucous Keratosis, Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia (PVL) and Verrucous Carcinoma of Oral Cavity (VC) known as Ackermann’s Tumour. These predominantly emerge as slow proliferating, gray or white, warty, exophytic lesion with micro-nodular surface & commonly seen on the buccal, labial mucosa, gingiva, tongue and palate. These are associated with consumption of tobacco in smoke and smokeless ways and in conjugation with alcohol and viral opportunists have known to be reported. Despite being delineated as benign lesions of minimum aggressive potential, these are difficult to tell apart from each other & long-standing cases have shown transformation into squamous cell carcinoma. This case report, we discuss case scenarios of an 80 year old female and a 42 year old male patient presenting with a diagnostic dilemma of verruco-papillary lesions which was successfully managed by early intervention and surgical intervention and extensive chemo-prevention.

OKC is the rare and noteworthy developmental odontogenic cyst which arises from dental lamina. Around 7.8% of all cysts of the jaw are categorized in to this type and grow in an antero-posterior direction in the medullary cavity of the bone without causing bone expansion until & unless when expansion is large. The frequent location is the mandibular posterior body. It is uncommon in the maxilla and only 13% occur in the anterior region. An interesting case of OKC in the maxillary central and lateral incisor region of a 36-year-old male patient is being presented. Such a case can be a diagnostic challenge for the clinician, as it can closely mimic the inflammatory cysts in the anterior region.

A dental lesion called a lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) can appear on a tooth's lateral radicular surface. Standish and Shafer described LPC for the first time in 1958. The mandibular premolars are where this cyst is most frequently found, however it has also been noted in other places too. The average age of incidence is 52 years, and there is no preference for any race or gender. It is frequently found during routine radiography examinations. The remnants of dental lamina in the alveolar bone are most likely the histogenetic source of LPC. The lateral periodontal cyst is surgically removed, and there is no risk of recurrence. The present article aims to present a case of Lateral periodontal cyst in anterior mandible in a young female patient with added literature review.
