The foremost indication for gingival depigmentation is patient demand improved aesthetics. In most cases after the removal of pigmented layer, area covered with periodontal packs. These dressings have no curative properties. They only minimise likelihood surface trauma during mastication. However, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) accelerates wound healing by effective neovascularisation and promoting fast cicatricial tissue remodelling. present split mouth study, PRF membrane was applied in first...

Furthermore, it intended assess if capsular can affect overlying epithelium, thus emphasizing role epithelial-mesenchymal interactions biological behaviour cysts.The material for included 51 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks (15 keratocyst, 15 cysts four normal mucosa two dental...

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is an uncommon locally invasive odontogenic regarded by many as a variant of calcifying cyst. The peripheral this clinical rarity appears well-circumscribed mass mimicking nonspecific gingival enlargement. Microscopic appearance epithelium admixed with focal areas dentinoid formation and sheets cells giving the definitive diagnosis dentinogenic imply that microscopic examination compulsory for any mass. Van Gieson histochemical stain further confirmed...

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children under 15 years of age and rare among persons older than 45 age. It considered to result from malignant transformation primitive mesenchymal cells. Although it has a relative predominance for head neck region, found less often oral cavity. Here we report case RMS mandible an adult patient, which was initially diagnosed as carcinosarcoma. Clinical pathologic findings are described, were confirmed by histochemical...

Primary intraosseous carcinoma arising as a de novo lesion is unique and rare affecting the jaws, especially at younger ages. Two case reports, 26-year-old Indian female with primary squamous cell 16-year-old male in an odontogenic cyst, both within body of mandible, are presented here.

Introduction: Oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis, and lichen planus are the precancerous or potentially malignant lesions conditions whereas squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a cancerous lesion of cavity. They have characteristic clinical histopathological features. These diseases not only originate from epithelium but also associated with chronic inflammation juxta-epithellialy. Mast cells present in connective tissue stroma release pro-inflammatory mitogenic cytokines. functions...

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is an insidious, chronic, disabling disease, in which there lack of perfusion due to reduced level the vasculature and this said be responsible for epithelial atrophy seen OSF. The degree affected mucosa its effects on thickness remains controversial till date.This study attempts analyze role angiogenesis OSF progression using vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) CD34 markers.The samples present comprised 10 cases each early OSF, moderately advanced,...

J Oral Pathol Med (2010) 39: 223–229 Background: The aim of this study was to assess the expression, distribution and comparison tenascin, a glycoprotein extracellular matrix in ameloblastoma ameloblastic fibroma, both odontogenic neoplasms with diverse biological behavior understand proliferative activity by using morphometric analysis. Methods: Paraffin embedded tissue from 25 cases tumors i.e., (n = 15) fibroma 10) were used. expression tenascin evaluated immunohistochemistry....

Odontogenic keratocyst, which is developmental in nature, an intraosseous lesion though on rare occasions it may occur extraosseous location. The variant referred to as peripheral odontogenic keratocyst. Though, clinically, keratocyst resembles the gingival cyst of adults, has histologic features that are pathognomonic This article presents a case this uncommon entity.

Cleidocranial dysplasia is an autosomal-dominant condition characterised by widely patent calvarial sutures, clavicular hypoplasia, supernumerary teeth and short stature. Though it not a very uncommon occurrence, its histopathological features are frequently reported. This paper presents similar case with complete clinical, radiological, histological treatment profiles.

Aims: The present study was conducted with the aim to explore authenticity and evidentiary value of imprints lips for any peculiar pattern regarding specific gender so that it could be used as a reliable tool in identification an individual at crime scene. Materials Methods: This comprised 500 (248 females 252 males) randomly selected dental students age ranging from 18 30 years. Lip prints were recorded help cellophane tape strip analyzed according Suzuki Tsuchihashi classification....

Odontomas are familiar entities but their eruption into the oral cavity is an extraordinary occurrence, which may be associated with pain, infection, malocclusion, etc. Not many cases of erupted odontomas have been reported in literature. This paper puts forth a case erupting odontoma attempt to add list this unique pathology.

Collagen is a part of the extracellular matrix proteins that form an integral connective tissue stroma. plays important role in maintaining structural and functional integrity tissue. Due to arrangement its fibers, it illustrates phenomenon birefringence enhanced by special stains like van Gieson Picrosirius Red. The aims present study were compare polarizing properties, shelf life staining intensity both these ascertain which gave better most cost-effective results. A retrospective was...

A 30-year-old female patient reported to the dental clinics with a complaint of missing teeth. On clinical evaluation maxillary left pre-molars and mandibular second molar were absent, was free from any gross pathology set radiographs advised for analysis periodontal health treatment planning. Radiographs revealed presence an impacted 3rd tooth in coronoid process [Table/Fig-1], though clinically no signs or symptoms observed. Since location abnormal case diagnosed as “ectopic...

Aim: Oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid reaction are familiar keratotic lesions found on the mucosa.Colloid bodies can be microscopically appreciated in both these lesions.The aim of this study was to identify as well examine frequency colloid by histochemical means.Method: The material for included 12 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks (7 5 reaction), retrieved from Department Pathology Microbiology, MCODS, Manipal.Sections stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) periodic...

A disease activity score obtained by using systemic lupus erythematosus index (SLEDAI) has traditionally been a reliable method to assess the SLE status of patients. More recently, buccal micronucleus cytome assay (BMCA) developed for use as biomarker DNA damage in patients with SLE. There very limited number studies pertaining oral lesions Arab population suffering from Asir region.
