Aim: The aim of the study is to find out the most common oral habit prevalent in children. Background: Oral habits, especially if they persist beyond the preschool age, have been implicated as an important environmental etiological factor associated with the development of malocclusion. Prevention of the habit may help in eliminating the malocclusion. Early detection and elimination of the habit will go a long way in reducing and eliminating the incidence of malocclusion.

Background: Patients’ satisfaction and complication rates of removable partialdentures (RPDs) can affect patient acceptance and compliance in using RPDs. Aim: this study aims to determine complications and rate of failure of RPDs. Methodology: This study evaluated the complaint of 70 patients (42 males, 28 females), aged between 38-67 years, who were treated with acrylic removable partial denture and suffering from one or more problems related to failure of the RPD.

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor is a rare neoplasm of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. It clinically manifest as mass with rapid development that may occur at almost any site of body, but rarely arise in oral cavity. The lesion has a potential for recurrence, persistent local growth, progression to frank sarcoma and metastasis. We hereby describe a case of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of mandible occurring in a 45 year old lady. Because of some aggressive clinical, histological, and radiological features, this lesion may be confused with a malignant tumor.

Hope and despair are two consept that commonly used in the human health. hope is a concept that positively affect the health of the individual. However, despair has a negative impact on an individual's health.

We report our clinical experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with synovial hemangioma. Synovial hemangiomas are uncommon causes of recurrent, nonspecific joint complaints and occur most often at the knee joint. Non traumatic joint swelling combined with recurrent hemorrhagic joint effusions must be considered signs of a synovial hemangioma. Although no preoperative diagnostic tool enables confirmation of the diagnosis, and MRI seems to be the diagnostic investigation of choice. It is important for the clinician to be aware of the existence of this disease.

The dental restorative materials represent a unique class of biomaterials with some restrictions in physical, mechanical and biological properties like biocompatibility, aesthetics, and ultimate material properties. Fortunately, the dental restorative materials have been the focus of a great deal of research in recent years with the goal of improving restoration performances by changing the initiation systems (composite), fillers (GIC) and by developing novel polymerization strategies (composites) etc.

Date fruit has a high nutritional value that has benefits for health. It has been known the effects of date fruit on the male reproductive system to strengthen the spermatogenesis process, sex hormone regulation, to increase gonadotropin and aphrodisiac activity, but very little research of the dates benefits on the female reproductive system. Date's may has effect on oocyte quality, the interaction of sperm and ovum, implantation and early embryonic development through an antioxidant mechanism. The antioxidants of date fruit can also be useful for the DNA repair from pro-oxidant damage.

Using saliva for disease diagnostics and health surveillance is a promising approach as collecting saliva is relatively easy and non-invasive. Over the past two decades, using salivary biomarkers specifically for early cancer detection has attracted much research interest, especially for cancers occurring in the oral cavity and oropharynx, for which the five-year survival rate (62%) is still one of the lowest among all major human cancers.

Background: There is no doubt that the platelet rich plasma is a common medical technique,that is known as regenerative medicine, through which local and systemic effect of known plasma growth factors occurs activation, cell proliferation and differentiation depending on recovered cell fraction in the final product obtained. Here, a case-control study presented to objectify the benefit of the systemic application of leukocyte plasma growth factors in cerebral palsy patients undergoing specific neurological rehabilitation programs.

Aim: To determine the various advancement in restorative composite materials Objective: This review aims towards the understanding of various restorative composite materials available commercially and also the advancement in it. Background: There is mercury present in the silver filling material, called amalgam, in the past century there has been no evidence showing that silver fillings are harmful to patients.
