    Local anesthesia has been a boon for dentistry to allay the most common fear of pain among dental patients. Several techniques to achieve anesthesia for posterior maxillae have been advocated albeit with minor differences. We compared two techniques of posterior superior alveolar nerve block (PSANB), the one claimed to be "most accurate" to the one "most commonly used."

    For many dental patients, palatal injection proves to be a very traumatic experience. Diverse methods have been suggested to reduce the discomfort of palatal injection. Nevertheless, the reliability of these methods is not obviously evident and they are not found to be universally effective. The desirable method to evade pain during palatal injection is just not to have one. Hence, the present study aims at investigating if lidocaine hydrochloride could provide palatal anesthesia in maxilla when only a buccal infiltration anesthesia is done for teeth extraction.

    Demonstrations and training on live-subjects are not always the optimal means of introducing the students to minor oral surgery. Hence, the use of teaching models permit the students to handle the surgical instruments in a limited field under a semi-realistic circumstance and also helps in developing psychomotor skills in an non stressed situation. One among the competent exercise in oral surgery is suturing. Though there exist a variety of commercially available suturing training models, cost factor restrain their acquirement in few units.

    Objective: In this article, we provide a gestalt idea about NGS technologies and their applications in cancer research and molecular diagnosis.

    Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) advancements like DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing allow uncovering of genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic scenes of individual malignant growths. An assortment of genomic abnormalities can be screened at the same time, for example common and uncommon variations, auxiliary variations like insertions and deletions, copy-number variation, and fusion transcripts.

    Conclusion: NGS innovations together with bioinformatics investigation, which extend our insight, are progressively used to analyze multiple genes in a cost-effective way and have been applied in examining clinical cancer samples and offering NGS-based molecular diagnosis.

    Application: NGS is progressively significant as a device for the diagnosis of cancers.

    Purpose: To ascertain the complications arising from open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures and to elucidate if different osteosynthesis plating systems vary in treatment outcome.

    Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study. Parameters such as patient data, injury details, osteosynthesis implant system information, stability of fracture fragments, occlusion and complications were evaluated at different time intervals and logistic regression applied to determine the association of these factors with complications.

    Results: Five hundred and ninety-three patients with mandibular fractures were included in this study (male 87.9% and female 12.1%), age range of 13-72 years (median = 22 years). Most fractures were caused by motor vehicle accidents (85.8%), assault (6.2%) and falls (4.7%). Parasymphyseal fractures were the most common (50.1%), followed by angle (35.2%) and body of mandible (25%). Median time interval between injury and intervention was 7 days (IQR 4-10). Median duration of follow-up from date of surgery was 72 days (IQR 30-230). 76.9% (456) were completely free of complications. Most complications (46%) occurred in the intermediate post-surgical period (1-6 weeks). Median interval period between surgery and complication was 15 days (IQR 7-67.5). Nerve injury and surgical site infection were the most common complications at 6.7% and 5.7%, respectively. There was a significant difference between the plating system in terms of complication outcome (p = 0.017).

    Conclusion: Whilst the miniplate dimensions may be similar across different manufacturers, the complication outcome may differ between systems.

    Abstract: Cyclin D1 is linked with the development and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This case-control study was directed to characterise the immunoreactivity of the protein cyclin D1 and its correlation with the clinicopathological parameters of patients with OSCC and potentially malignant disorders (PMD). A group of patients with OSCC were followed up after treatment, and the cyclin D1 expression was reviewed for correlation of cyclin D1 expression with prognosis of the patients.

    Methodology: Sixty individuals were included in this study: OSCC (20), PMD (20) and Control (20). Immunohistochemistry assay was evaluated. The clinicopathological parameters were correlated with the staining intensity of cyclin D1. The results were subjected to Pearson's correlation test.

    Results: Age, gender and site showed no statistically significant correlation with cyclin D1 expression in OSCC and PMD. The cyclin D1 score did not show a significant difference with histopathological diagnosis of OSCC. Cyclin D1 was not expressed in 60% of the Control and 30% PMD cases while the expression of cyclin D1 was seen in 100% of OSCC cases although cyclin D1 score did not show a statistically significant association in the prognosis of the disease among the OSCC patients.

    Objectives: The risk of damaging the mandibular incisive canal (MIC) during surgery in the anterior mandible should not be overlooked. Hence, preoperative radiographic assessment is essential to avoid complications. This study was aimed to estimate the length of the MIC in the interforaminal safe zone, to analyse its course in relation to the lingual and the buccal cortical plates of the mandible using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and to relate the above findings to age, gender, dental status and Malaysian races.

    Methods: Retrospective analysis of 100 CBCT scans (n = 200) was performed on both sides of the mandible. Cross-sectional and panoramic images were reconstructed. The length of the MIC and the horizontal distances between the MIC and the buccal and the lingual cortical plates were measured at the three different points (starting, mid-, end points). Independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA test were used to analyse the variation in the length and course of the MIC in gender, age, dental status and Malaysian races.

    Results: The mean length of the MIC was 11.31 ± 2.65 mm, with the Malays having the longest MIC, followed by the Chinese and the Indians (p

    BACKGROUND: Considering the two-implant-retained overdenture as a first treatment of choice for edentulous mandible, patients using the overdentures need to be satisfied with the type of attachment used. The purpose of this study was to determine level of patient satisfaction with two-implant-retained mandibular overdentures opposing conventional maxillary complete denture using ball-socket and bar-clip attachments.

    MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this within-subject crossover randomized clinical trial, total 20 edentulous patients were given conventional complete dentures for 3 months to use. All completed a satisfaction questionnaire before implant placement. They were randomly assigned to receive an overdenture retained by either ball or bar attachment. After 3 months satisfaction questionnaires were repeated, and crossover was done by changing the attachments. After use of 3 months of alternate attachments, patients were asked to complete the final questionnaires and asked to choose their preferred type. The patient satisfaction scores were recorded after using 3 months of conventional complete denture, 3 months of first attachment and 3 months of second attachment. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test. The P values were adjusted using Bonferroni multiple testing correction, and P
