Background: Although there are many drugs which are used for topical therapy in recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) patients, there are few clinical trials that have used tetracycline and amlexanox. Aim and Objectives: To evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of topical tetracycline and amlexanox. Materials and Methods: Here in this study we divided the RAS patients into two groups in each group alternative selection was done. Patients of 1st Group received topical application of tetracycline crushed tablets with denture adhesive and few drops of saline solution on each alternative day visit. Same as Group 2nd subject received amlexanox. Treatment response was assessed by measuring pain reduction, photographic record, ulcer duration, and adhesive retention time. Results: Amlexanox oral paste show more efficacy in comparision of topical tetracycline in the treatment of recurrent minor aphthous ulcers. Conculsion: Amlexanox is more effective in comparison of tetracycline.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate factors affecting oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients using a removable dental prosthesis. Methodology: The present study employed a cross-sectional analytical design. A total of 100 patients participated and interviewed using a cross-sectional analytical design. In the first section of the questionnaire, patients were asked about demographic data whereas the second part of the questionnaire assessed medical history, oral habits, smoking status, oral hygiene habits, and frequency of dental visit. The questionnaire also collected information regarding the patient's removable prosthesis. Questionnaire of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-DENT) was also employed to measure oral health QoL (OHRQoL) on the domains of functional limitation (FL), physical pain (P1), psychological discomfort (P2), physical disability (D1), psychological disability (D2), social disability (D3) and handicap (H). Relationships between the demographic, socioeconomic, and education variables and others OHIP-EDENT scores were explored by comparing mean scores by applying ANOVA. Results: The OHIP-DENT score of participants was calculated for each domain for their mean and standard deviation values. The highest score was recorded for the FL domain (15.82 ± 6.6), followed by social disability (D3) (15.23 ± 5.06) and physical pain (P1) (14.29 ± 4.8). The respective scores for physical disability (D1), psychological disability (D2), and handicap (H) were 10.47 ± 4.84, 11.32 ± 5.38, and 12.45 ± 4.50, respectively. The lowest score was recorded for psychological discomfort (P2) (7.51 ± 4.11). Conclusion: Removable partial denture patients showed minimum problems with mastication, social compromise, and functional discomfort. The oral health QoL of removable denture patients is significantly influenced by patient education level, socioeconomic status, medical conditions, smoking, and tobacco use habits.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate and establish norms for the class I subjects of Uttarakhand population using the Steiners Analysis. Aims and Objectives: 1. To Establish Cephalometric norms for population in Uttarakhand Using Anteroposterior and Vertical Dimensions. 2. To Compare the hard and soft Tissue Cephalometric Norms of Individuals of Uttarakhand by Steiners Analysis. 3. To Compare male and female cephalometric norms of individuals of Uttarakhand. Materials and Method: The sample included pre-treatment lateral cephalograms of 60 subjects belongIng to Uttarakhand and possessing a skeletal class I malocclusion with pleasing profile (age 11-36 years). Results: The Mean values obtained fro the male and female subjects were compared to that of caucasian Populations and statistical different obtained were used to create a new value for the Uttarakhand Population. Conclusion: Beta angle is relatively a stable parameter in population with different ethnicities.

Background: Plant extracts have been widely used in the topical and oral applications for disease treatment. Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been reported to be useful for the prevention of periodontal disease and maintenance of oral health. Aim and Objectives: We aim to assess the efficacy of Green tea mouthwash on plaque-induced gingivitis as the most common form of periodontal disease. Methodology: A single-blinded placebo-controlled clinical study will be conducted with two groups as case and control, each consisting of 40 female patients with the age group of 14–16 years. Both the groups will be equally distributed to receive either 5 ml of Green tea 5%two times/day or normal saline with the same dosage. Results: Gingival index (Sillness and Loe), plaque index (Loe and Sillness) were recorded at baseline and five consecutive weeks and there was a decrease in score. Conclusion: Green tea mouthwash may be a safe and feasible adjunctive treatment for inflammatory periodontal diseases. Therefore this study was conducted for evaluating the effect of green tea.

The outburst of the coronavirus strain 2019 (COVID-19) represents a public health emergency of global distress. Because of the community spread outline of this infection, the outburst is still on the rise despite global efforts to control the disease spread. The appearance of coronavirus in today's life brought so many restrictions in daily life. It appears as life has stuck and limited. Dentistry is the field of medicine which has suffered a lot. The present article highlighted various challenges and effects of coronavirus on oral health and its implications.

Vanishing bone disease is a rare entity with an obscure cause and undetermined pathophysiology and characterized by spontaneous and progressive resorption of bones. To date, the etiology of Gorham–Stout syndrome is still controversial. However, LYVE-1, a receptor, and podoplanin, a transmembrane glycoprotein identified by the antibody D2-40, are two extensively used molecular markers of lymphatic endothelial cells. These markers do exist in the medullary and cortical portions of Gorham–Stout disease (GSD) patients' bones. The following case report describes a case of 32-year-old male with GSD involving the maxilla with a brief discussion on etiopathogenesis, clinical features, radiological and histological findings, and diagnosis with treatment options.

Modern treatment procedures are based solely on the esthetic purpose. With time, many changes are done to provide satisfaction to the patient. Even the orthodontic appliances are on the verge of some changes keeping its functioning, esthetics, patient care into consideration. This modified esthetic retainer for retention and minor corrections was developed giving all these considerations into mind.
