Abstract: In the sphere of medical science, the nanomaterial age has left an indelible mark. Because of tremendous achievement and improvement in physical, chemical, and biological sciences, it has considerable benefits for both patients and physicians. Better dental care is made possible by nanoparticles with such unique and increased properties. This article explains how nanotechnology is used in dentistry and illustrates how it can have a far-reaching impact on clinical dental practice.

Abstract: Background: The cranial base plays a pivotal role in craniofacial growth and development. The cranial base has got anterior and posterior cranial base segments articulating with maxilla and mandible. The drastic variation in size and shape of this region would alter the jaw's sagittal skeletal relationship. Many studies have shown that there is a significant difference in cranial base features for different ethnic, racial and gender groups. Different groups should be treated according to their characteristics and it is important to develop individual standards for each population. Aim &objective: The primary objective was to determine the average anterior cranial base length, maxillary length and mandibular length among male and female adults in Kerala population. The secondary objective of the study was to assess the anterior cranial base, maxillary and mandibular length in class I, II and III skeletal malocclusion. Comparison of the above quantitative......

Abstract: Aim: To analysis of factors influencing the outcome of sutureless glue-free conjunctivolimbal autograft for primary pterygium surgeries. METHODS: Patients with encroachment upon cornea induce significant astigmatism, become cosmetically bothersome, recurrently inflammed were taken up for surgery. The factors that were analysed were- Age, Diabetes and Hypertension, Types of pterygium – Progressive, Stationary, Type of anesthesia – Topical, Peribulbar block, Site of donor conjunctiva – Superotemporal, Inferotemporal, Donor conjunctiva – Hydrated, Non hydrated, Recipient bed bleeding – Mild.......

Abstract: Background: Dry Eye is the most common cause of ocular discomfort with wide variety of symptoms from mild irritation to diminuation of vision even blindness. With recent COVID pandemic use of gadgets and electronic devices have increased prevalence of the disease further. So it is essential to provide patients satisfactory results. So we conducted a study to lookl for role of chloroquine phosphate eye drop in Dry Eye Disease. Material And Methods : A prospective, randomized, case control study was conducted on 200 patients which were assigned into 2 groups-.......

Abstract: Head and neck cancer accounts for 10 % of all malignancies worldwide and up to 40 % cancer burden in India [1]. Amongst head and neck cancers, oral cavity cancer is the most common and accounting for 30 % of all cases [2]. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common histological type (90 %) of all the oral cavity cancer. Oral cavity cancer is the most common in Indian males with 35 % of total cases and 3rd most common in Indian females with 18 % of total cases [2]. The high incidence of cancer is attributable largely to the habit of chewing betel nuts, tobacco and pan (mixture of tobacco, lime and other substances wrapped in a vegetable leaf). In developing country like India,.......
