Aim
To determine whether caries risk factors, including cariogenic bacterial levels and salivary function, can be used to identify orthodontic patients who develop white spot lesions (WSL).
Methods
This prospective case‐control study comprised 50 patients 11‐17 years of age, including 25 controls and 25 cases who developed new WSL during treatment. WSL, oral hygiene and fluorosis were evaluated...
Aim
Despite their histopathological similarity, unlike peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG), central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is an osteolytic lesion. Low motility of osteoclasts as bone‐resorbing agents decreases osteolysis where CD44 plays a role. The lesion requires angiogenesis to grow which in turn may cause bone resorption. This study aims to compare CD44 and CD34 expression in PGCG and...
Aim
To evaluate the effectiveness of topical insulin‐liposomal gel in aphthous ulcer treatment.
Methods
80 participants with minor aphthous ulcers were randomly divided to receive either topical insulin‐liposomal gel or placebo gel (once daily) for 6 days. Assessment of outcomes included visual analog scale (VAS) for pain (primary outcome), and secondary outcomes included ulcer duration and impact...
