Abstract: Objective: Proto-oncogene cyclin D1 is a G1 phase specific cell cycle regulator and known for its role in various cancers. The aim of the study was to understand oral cancer progression by observing the mRNA and protein expression of cyclin D1.Methods: Different oral tissue samples were selected as a model to study oral cancer progression. Those include healthy oral mucosa, premalignant lesions (Leukoplakia, Erythroplakia, Oral SubMucous Fibrosis) and oral cancer (OSCC) samples. Cyclin D1 mRNA and protein expression were detected by slot-blot and by immunohistochemical methods, respectively.Results: Premalignant ...

Conclusions: In this study the temporal transition of calpain1, calpain2 and calpastatin mRNA and the immunolocalization are identified during tooth development. Our results indicate that the calcium-dependent proteases may play an important role in mouse molar development and extracellular calpain and calpastatin may be involved in molar mineralization.

The aim of this split-mouth experimental study was to determine (1) whether corticotomy procedures increase tooth movement and (2) the effects of a second corticotomy procedure after 4 weeks on the rate of tooth movement. The mandibular third and maxillary second premolars of five skeletally mature male foxhounds, approximately 2 years of age, were extracted. One randomly selected mandibular quadrant had buccal and lingual flaps and corticotomies performed around the second premolar; the other quadrant served as the control. Both maxillary quadrants had initial buccal flaps and corticotomies; one randomly selected quad...

Maintenance of a deep bite prior to surgical mandibular advancement.Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Adult patients with a Class II skeletal base are often treated by a combined orthodontic and surgical approach. Advancement of the mandible, most often including a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), is preceded by orthodontic alignment and frequently the curve of Spee is levelled. When the chin is prominent, there is a risk of accentuating this as a result of surgery. An option to prevent this is to maintain a deep curve of Spee before surgical advancement. This will result in an opening rotation of the mandible during surgery and thus, a less prominent chin. The aim of this study was to compare, retrospectivel...

Discuss or comment on this article.
In conclusion, (1) NF1 per se does not predispose to caries; and (2) even if NF1 had an adverse effect on dental health, poor
outcome can be counteracted with good personal dental care supported by well organized primary health care. The results of
the present study are important to report since a common anecdotal perception is that the rate of caries may be higher in
NF1 compared to reference population.

This study's purpose was to note trends in the prevalence of oral manifestations of HIV and assess variations in the dental care of adults with HIV given the current use of antiretroviral therapy in both the industrialized world and developing nations. A comprehensive review of the English literature was completed on the incidence and prevalence of oral diseases and the types of dental services that provided comprehensive oral care to patients who have been HIV positive since 1980. The study concluded that significant and similar disparities exist in the use of dental health services for both patients with HIV and the gene...

Various diameter and alloy of wires are used for this purpose. Indirect method requires an elaborate laboratory procedure for holding the retainer wire on teeth surface for bonding. In the direct method, the retainer wire needs to be prefabricated for accurate fit on the lingual surface of the teeth. These methods have certain shortcomings inherent in them. To overcome these problems, two new techniques have been developed.

Conclusion Exposure to the tested radiopacifiers may not be a factor that increases the level of DNA lesions in mammalian cells as detected by a single-cell gel (comet) assay.

Sensory pulpal nerve fibres and trigeminal ganglion neurons express IL-1RI: a potential mechanism for development of inflammatory hyperalgesiaEmail this article to a colleague.

Conclusions The localization of IL-1RI on sensory nerve fibres and its up-regulation in TG neurons during pulpal inflammation may imply a direct effect of IL-1 in pulpal nociception. The presence of IL-1RI on sympathetic nerve fibres and on blood vessels may indicate a vasoactive role of the same cytokine in the pulp.
