These include surgical excision, electrocoagulation, cryosurgery, laser surgery, the local use of corticoids and administration of vitamin A. The introduction of lasers to the biomedical field has truly given a technological boost to the way clinicians perform a number of procedures. Soft tissue lasers have become popular among the clinicians due to their potential value in surgical procedures providing surface sterilization, dry surgical field, and increased patient acceptance. Management of premalignant lesions of the oral cavity such as leukoplakia and erythroplakia is challenging. They have a potential for malignant transformation. Management of such lesions includes observation, excision, ablation, or topical medical therapies. The gold standard for management of the clinically evident high-grade premalignant disease is excision or laser ablation. Laser treatment has been a well-established modality for management of premalignant lesions and has potential advantages over surgical excision. This article presents a review on the use of lasers in the management of oral premalignant lesions

Introduction: The prevalence of temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder, in general, is usually between 2% to 5% unusual for chronic pain conditions as per various studies, it has been found by various studies that the prevalence rates of TMJ disorders are higher among younger persons. TMJ disorders are at least twice as prevalent in women as men. As many patients ignore this type of pain and function, so our aim during this study was too aware the patient regarding this problem and provoke them that there is a proper treatment for the same.
Materials and Methods: Study design: - This study was conducted at Dental Centre of Armed Force Hospital Southern Region Khamis Mushait Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A total number of 400 patients with the age group of 21-55 years. Among them 37% were males and 63% were females. A questionnaire was designed which include all the demographic information of the patient and these patients were screened for symptoms. Data were collected from December 2016 to December 2017. Patients were given no time limit to fill questionnaire so as to reduce error in answering the questionnaire. The researchers did a clinical examination of the survived population under the supervision of two investigators to minimize the error. Ethical Committee clearance was obtained from the Academic Department of AFHSR. The patients who were included in this study were not having any history of orthodontic treatment, and have not undergone any TMJ surgical procedure for any underlying disease. Initially, proper instructions were given to the participants about the goal and benefits of this study. The descriptive static analysis was done for the results.
Result: Among the 400 patients screened 148 (37%) were males and 252 (63%) were females. Among 400 patients 160 (40%) patients were asymptomatic and were free from any TMJ disorders symptoms and 240 (60%) patients have clicking, pain or deviation.
Conclusion: A high prevalence was found in the female population, average cases were mild and gender severity was statistically significant. Despite suffering from TMJ disorders, the average population was not aware. So it is important for the dental practitioner to seldom examine TMJ during a routine examination. Try to identify any underlying asymptomatic disorder and educate the sequences of the cause and its ill effect. So that the patient can take early treatment to prevent the severity of the disorder

INCIDENCE OF LUMBOSACRAL TRANSITIONALVERTEBRAE (LSTV) AMONGEST THE POPULATION OF UP—A MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY ON BONES
Get PDFIntroduction: The human vertebral column is divided into five regions viz cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal regions. The lumbar region is designed mainly to facilitate movements of the back and support the body weight. Abnormal fusion between L5 & S1 vertebrae results in Sacralisation. Lumbarization occurs when the first segment of the sacrum is not fused with rest of sacrum & remains free to move. Both these conditions are discussed under one common heading“Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae†(LSTV). The prevalence is 1-30 %. Various researchers have identified the role of LSTV in low back pain. Sacralized segment can impinge on spinal nerve roots or the cauda equina structures producing various symptoms & signs.
Aim: Knowledge of LSTV is helpful 1 to diagnose and treat patients with low back pain 2. Awareness of such congenital anomaly of the vertebral column is important before undertaking any spinal surgery.
Material & Methods: 100 dry adult sacra belonging to the dept. of anatomy SMC, Ghaziabad (UP) were used for the study. Every specimen was studied for features of: 1. Sacralization 2.Lumbarization.
Observation: LSTV was seen in 27%; four specimens showing lumbarization & 23 showing sacralization of grade IIIb (of Castellvi).
Discussion: The association between LSTV and back pain was first described in 1917 by Bertolotti. Mutations of HOX10/ HOX11 genes may play a role in the formation of LSTV. A knowledge of LSTV helps in treating low backache & diagnosis of various associated pathologies of the vertebral column
