Non-invasive diagnostic tools in early detection of oral epithelial dysplasia
2011
Objective: The incidence of oral cancer worldwide varies 2-18% and in India 0.1 to 13.5%. Early evaluation of oral precancerous lesions can have dramatic effect on oral cancer mortality rate. Among the premalignant stage, leukoplakia is the most commonly encountered clinical lesion and epithelial dysplasia is most important predictive factor. The objective of this paper is to compare the efficacy of exfoliative cytology, toluidine blue and chemiluminescent illumination (VIZILITE) to detect early dysplastic changes in leukoplakia. Study design: Study involved 50 patients of leukoplakia (homogeneous, speckled) in the age group of 20-72 years including males and females in the ratio of 7:3. Al…
In vitro evaluation of glass fiber post
2012
Statement of problem: Techniques and recommendations for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth have changed from the use of custom cast metal post and core system to glass fiber-reinforced (GFRC) post and composite core system. Has this latest prefabricated glass fiber reinforced post and composite core system increased the fracture resistance of teeth and reduced the incidence of unrestorable root fractures. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of root fracture and mode of failure of endodontically treated teeth restored with two different post and core systems. Material and methods: Forty maxillary central incisors were randomly divided into two group…
