Evaluation of radiographic techniques for localization of impacted maxillary canines
ConclusionConventional radiography has remained the technique of choice for localization of impacted canines owing to its wide availability, low cost, and less radiation exposure when compared with other advanced modalities such as computed tomography and cone beam computed tomography.

Maxillary sinus septa
ConclusionA considerable number of maxillary sinus septa were seen in the Indian population of this study. There was no age or gender predilection for the occurrence of maxillary sinus septa. The majority of maxillary sinus septa were located in the anterior and middle regions of the maxillary sinus floor. The presence of maxillary sinus septa was unrelated to dental status.

Diagnostic ability of cone beam computed tomography in the management of dentigerous cysts
This report describes a case of a dentigerous cyst in a 12-year-old patient involving an impacted right mandibular second premolar, a rare entity. Using CBCT, canal mapping was performed to extricate the extension of the cyst with the mandibular canal, helping the surgeon during surgical management. The present report also highlights the role of CBCT in the preoperative assessment and management of dentigerous cysts. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Diagnostic efficacy of saliva in oral and systemic health
Abstract Saliva has the potential to become a first-line diagnostic sample of choice owing to the advancements in detection technologies coupled with combinations of biomolecules with clinical relevance. Saliva is increasingly being used as an investigational aid in the diagnosis of oral and systemic diseases. It is a complex fluid containing a variety of enzymes, hormones, antibodies, antimicrobial constituents, and growth factors. Thus, saliva is functionally equivalent to serum, but its low concentration compared with serum levels in the blood may prevent salivary diagnostics from being clinically prac...

Shear bond strength of moisture-insensitive and self-etching primers under contaminated and uncontaminated conditions
ConclusionThe presence of saliva contamination significantly lowers the shear bond strength of all groups of bonding procedures. Although contamination plays a major setback in bonding procedures, the bond strength of these newer products remains acceptable in most of the conditions (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Prosthetic and surgical rehabilitation of a cleidocranial dysplasia patient with magnet-retained overlay removable partial dentures
AbstractCleidocranial dysplasia is an autosomal dominant inherited condition consisting of a generalized skeletal disorder, characterized by clavicular aplasia (deficient formation of the clavicles), delayed and imperfect ossification of the cranium, moderately short stature, and a variety of other skeletal abnormalities. Associated dental signs are present in 93.5  % patients and include failure of tooth eruption with multiple supernumerary teeth, dilaceration of roots, crown germination, microdontia, high arched palate, midface hypoplasia, and high gonial angle. The present case report describes the treatment of a pati...

Endodontic –periodontal management of a maxillary lateral incisor with a deep palatogingival groove
< h3 class= " a-plus-plus " > Abstract < /h3 > < p class= " a-plus-plus " > The existence of pulpal and periodontal disease can complicate the diagnosis and treatment planning and affect the sequence of care to be performed. A palatogingival groove is a developmental anomaly that often leads to the establishment of combined periodontal –endodontic lesions and can be an unidentified cause of endodontic failure. This case report describes a case of palatogingival groove in an upper right lateral incisor with endodontic failure. The diagnosis was confirmed with the help of spiral computed tomography and management included ...
