 Abstract

The most troublesome papulosquamous disorder is Psoriasis. While it is easy to diagnose, it is difficult to treat. Oral lesions of psoriasis are still a controversy and are often confusing. Here, we present a case of oral psoriasis that was clinically diagnosed as leukoplakia. ...Read More >>

 Apical Extrusion of Debris and Irrigant Using Three Different 27rotary Nickel-Titanium Endodontic Instruments– A Comparative in Vitro Study.

 Abstract

There has been a growing trend towards using hand piece driven rotary instrumentation techniques in dentistry. These instruments are designed to prepare teeth using crown-down technique, which reduces the amount of debris that is pushed down towards the apex. Recently, advanced instrument designs have been developed, which include non-cutting tips, radial lands, different cross sections, and varying tapers. These designs are aimed at improving working safety and shortening working time, and have been shown to produce less debris than traditional hand filing techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount of debris and volume of irrigant extruded apically using three different rotary nickel titanium endodontic instruments: Profile, Protaper, and Race. ...Read More >>

 Abstract

Ameloblastic Fibro-Odontoma (AFO) is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor with histologic characteristics of ameloblastic fibroma and complex odontoma. It has a frequency of only about 1-3% among odontogenic tumors. It is slow-growing, generally associated with a developing tooth, and occurs mostly in children and adolescents. It is a well-encapsulated tumor, and therefore local invasion and recurrence after surgery are rare. This paper presents a clinical case report of AFO in a 9-year-old boy with swelling in the posterior maxillary area that appeared radiologically as a complex odontoma but was histopathologically diagnosed as an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. ...Read More >>

 Granular Cell Ameloblastoma - A Case Report

  

  Sumathi M. K. , Balaji

 Abstract

Ameloblastoma is an epithelial odontogenic tumour of the jaw that exhibits diverse microscopic patterns, occurring either singly or in combination with other patterns. Granular cell ameloblastoma is an unusual variant of ameloblastoma characterized by nests of large, eosinophilic granular cells. These granular cells have been the subject of debate, and there is controversy regarding their origin and nature. ...Read More >>
