Age and gender characteristics of the biochemical composition of saliva: correlations with the composition of blood plasma
ConclusionIn general, the determination of the composition of saliva may have an independent diagnostic value; in this case, drawing a parallel with the composition of serum and blood plasma is not advisable. Nevertheless, the use of saliva in clinical laboratory diagnostics is associated with the need to establish criteria for the norm and pathology for each biochemical parameter.

Fractures of the lower jaw in children (causes, types, diagnosis and treatment). Retrospective 5 year analysis.
ConclusionFractures of the lower jaw occurred more commonly between the ages of 7 and 17 years, the cause of which in most cases was a fall. The most common location of the mandibular fractures was-the condylar process. The most common method of fixing fragments of the lower jaw was double jaw splinting.

Is there Evidence for Novamin application in Remineralization: A Systematic Review
ConclusionReview shows that Novamin has significantly less clinical evidence to prove its effectiveness as a remineralization agent in treating both carious and non-carious lesion. Hence, better designed clinical trials should be carried out in the future before definitive recommendations can be made. (Source: Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research)
