Screening for Oral Cancer: A Review
Get PDFOral cancer is a common disease which affects individuals of mainly the older age group. If diagnosed at later stages, the prognosis is poor. In this review, the various techniques for diagnosis of oral cancer such as screening of the patient by conventional oral examination, supravital staining, visual adjunctive aids, biopsy etc. have been discussed. The traditional treatments include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Newer modalities include gene therapy, immunotherapy, etc. have proven to be successful to some extent. Thorough knowledge of the disease and timely diagnosis by the dental professional can prevent metastasis

Biomaterials for Orbital Floor Reconstruction
Get PDFFractures of the floor of orbit commonly known as blow out fracture. It may be classified into pure and impure fractures. Isolated fractures of orbit are known as pure. many biomaterials have been used over the years to reconstruct the floor. This review discusses the role of different biomaterials for orbital floor reconstruction.  
Safety of Perioperative Anticoagulant Discontinuation in Cardiovascular Patients Undergoing Periodontal Therapy
Get PDFPeriodontists are encountering increasing number of cases in their practices where patients present with cardiovascular diseases. Patients with a history of myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, acute coronary syndrome or peripheral vascular disease are prescribed anticoagulant medications by cardiologists, such as aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, prasugrel, dipyridamole, cilostazol or dabigatran- either as monotherapy or dual therapy, for prevention of further thromboembolic events during lifetime. As because these agents act by inhibiting platelet aggregation, they tend to prolong bleeding time. Concerns regarding excessive periprocedural bleeding in patients receiving such drugs have led to some clinicians recommending periprocedural discontinuation of anticoagulant therapy. However, several studies, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, have proved that there is no significantly increased risk of bleeding associated with continuing anticoagulant therapy when compared with discontinuation or modification of the anticoagulant regimen. In fact, without the anticoagulant medication, these patients have been found to be at increased risk of thromboembolic events with potentially serious consequences. The accepted recommendation, therefore, is that the anticoagulant drug regimens should not be altered or discontinued prior to periodontal treatment procedures, as the risks associated with such discontinuation far outweigh the consequences of prolonged bleeding, which can be well controlled with local measures
Stem Cell Therapy: A Review
Get PDFThe human body is an intricate system consisting of numerous cells and tissues working in an organized fashion for the sustenance of life and stem cell biology become an important field for the understanding of tissue regeneration and implementation of regenerative medicine. Stem cells have capability of replicating themselves and can be readily available at the time of a planned procedure. Furthermore, it’s been shown that these cells have high potential to serve as resources not for medical therapies and tissue engineering, but also for dental or bone reconstruction. Stem cell research is not merely a science fiction but has rather opened the door for future treatment modalities
