Abstract
Background Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) have emerged as a promising treatment option for young permanent teeth with pulp necrosis, offering the potential for tissue repair and preservation. Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 30 patients aged 8 to 16 years with pulp necrosis in young permanent teeth. The patients underwent REPs, including disinfection, triple antibiotic paste application, and a coronal barrier. Clinical and radiographic data were collected at baseline and follow-up appointments at 6, 12, and 24 months. Radiographs were analyzed for root lengthening, apical closure, and resolution of periapical lesions. Results The mean increase in root length after 24 months was 3.42 mm (SD ± 1.12 mm), and 90% of cases demonstrated complete apical closure. The overall success rate, defined as the absence of clinical symptoms and radiographic evidence of pathology, was 80. Conclusion REPs show promising outcomes in young permanent teeth with pulp necrosis, promoting root development, and apical closure.

Abstract
It is of interest to compare guided bone regeneration (GBR) with titanium mesh, alveolar distraction osteo-genesis (DO), GBR with auto-genous bone and e-PTFE membranes and onlay bone grafts. This helps to restore vertically lacking alveolar ridges and their capacity to sustain the vertical bone growth acquired both prior to and following implant placement. The parameters such as (i) success and survival of dental implants (ii) peri-implant clinical parameters after prosthetic loading at 1 year, 2 year and 3 year follow up (iii) resorption of alveolar ridge regenerated before placement of dental implants and after placement of dental implants were assessed. Data shows that the distraction osteo-genesis is more predictable for long-term prognosis of vertical bone growth. However, all methods help to repair the vertically resorbed edentulous ridges.

Abstract
Evaluation of four distinct obturating methods namely endodontic pressure syringe (n=40), reamers (n=40), Lentulo spirals driven through slow-speed handpiece (n=40) and incremental filling technique (n=4) using zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) paste as obturating material in deciduous teeth is of interest to dentist. Hence, we are interested determining the effective obturation methodology using CBCT. Handpiece driven lentuspirals helped in optimum obturation in high percentage of root canals. Low percentage of optimally filled root canals was observed in reamers technique. Moreover, under filled root canals was low in lentuspirals technique of obturation. Thus, overfilled root canals were high in endodontic pressure syringe and reamers obturation technique.

Abstract
Four surgical treatment modalities namely cryosurgery, scalpel and blade surgery, diode LASER surgery and CO2 LASER surgery in the management of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) in terms of healing outcomes post operatively and recurrence is evaluated. The study included sixty outpatients whose biopsies revealed OPMDs (oral lichen planus, homogeneous leukoplakia, non-homogenous leukoplakia and erythroplakia). There is decrease in post-operative pain and oedema in all four treatment categories at one week follow up and two week follow up. It was observed that pain was low in cryosurgery treatment category at day of surgery as well as at one week of follow up as compared to diode LASER and CO2 LASER. Observations from the study highlights that all four surgical modalities used in this study were effective for treatment of OPMDs, and the overall summation of the results of the study showed that cryotherapy seems to offer better clinically significant results than laser therapy.

Abstract
Evaluation of immuno-histochemical (IHC) markers like p53, p63, PDPN, C-erb-B2, CK19, and VEGF in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCCs) is of interest to dentists. Sixty formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue blocks from the Department of Oral Pathology, New Horizon Dental College and Research, Institute, Sakri, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India. The conventional IHC method was used to assess the expression of p53, p63, PDPN, C- erb-B2, CK19 and VEGF using the different antibodies. Data shows that P53, p63 had high values of labeling index (LI) of staining while PDPN, C-erb-B2 had low values of LI of staining. The values of LI of staining for CK19, and VEGF were in between the two types of IHCs. Combining the analysis of multiple IHC markers for OSCC can yield precise cancer diagnosis results.

Abstract
It is of interest to compare two myofunctional appliances (frankal appliance and twin bloc) and two fixed orthodontic appliances (PowerScope and Forsus) in management of class II div 1 malocclusion. A total of 56 Class II division 1 malocclusion patients indicated for treatment with myofunctional appliances and fixed functional appliances were randomized. They were equally divided among frankal appliance (n=14), twin block appliance (n=14), PowerScope (American Orthodontics) (n=14), Forsus (3M Unitek Corp) groups (n=14). Skeletal and dentoalveolar effects of all appliances were compared. SNB increased remarkably by 4.2° in the Twin block group and it was high among all treatment groups. There was a significant decrease in vertical dimensions (SN-GoGn) in the Twin block (p = 0.002). Early treatment of Class II due to mandibular retrusion with Twin block functional appliance is recommended due to its favorable skeletal effect.

Abstract
A sizable percentage of the population in India still does not have easy access to dental facilities. Therefore, it is of interest to document the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in oral surveillance of underserved communities. Available data shows that AI makes it possible to screen, diagnose, track, prioritize, and monitor dental patients remotely via smart devices. As a result, dentists won't have to deal with simple situations that only require standard treatments; freeing them up to focus on more complicated cases. Additionally, this would allow dentists to reach a broader, more underprivileged population in difficult-to-reach places. AI fracture recognition and categorization performance has shown promise in preliminary testing. Methods for detecting aberrations are frequently employed in public health practise and research continues to be focused on them.

Abstract
It is of interest to compare conventional lateral window technique, trans-alveolar technique with minimally invasive technique like modified trephine technique and antral membrane balloon elevation technique for sinus floor elevation in placement of dental implants. The current study included 140 participants (191 dental implants) who had maxillary posterior edentulous regions and had low sinuses and insufficient alveolar ridges but had chosen an implant-retained prosthesis. The minimally invasive techniques of sinus augmentation can be suitable alternative to conventional traumatic techniques due to low incidence of pain, gingival swelling. Moreover, the success rate of implants and increase in total bone height was almost same in minimally invasive techniques of sinus augmentation as compared to conventional traumatic techniques.

Abstract
The Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) (the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused due to mutations in the patched gene found on chromosome arm 9 q. It shows high penetrance and variable expressivity; is characterized by basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, palmar and/or plantar pits and ectopic calcifications of the falx cerebri. Until date, very few cases of GGS have been reported in India. Early diagnosis and treatment as well as genetic counseling are essential for this syndrome. A rare case report of a patient with characteristic features of GGS diagnosed at a rural dental college of Gujarat, India is presented here. This case report draws attention of the valuable role of dentist in diagnosis and early management of this syndrome.

Abstract
AIM To estimate the prevalence of dental fluorosis in relation with different fluoride levels in drinking water among school going children of 6-12 years age group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dental fluorosis was recorded using Dean's index in school children of selected villages. The drinking water samples of all the selected villages were collected in polyethylene bottles and the fluoride content of these samples was determined by fluoride ion selective method using Orion microprocessor analyser. RESULTS The overall prevalence of dental fluorosis was found to be 69.84%. An increase in the community fluorosis index (CFI) with corresponding increase in water fluoride content was found. CONCLUSION There was an increase in prevalence of dental fluorosis with a corresponding increase in water fluoride content from 0.8 ppm to 4.1 ppm. A significantly strong positive correlation was found between CFI and fluoride concentration in drinking water.

Abstract
We have evaluated the ameliorative role of vitamin A on aflatoxin-induced cytotoxicity in vitro. Aflatoxin (1.95 microM)-induced hemolysis was found to be significantly reduced on addition of vitamin A (125--1250 IU/ml) in incubation medium. The decrease in hemolysis was almost dose dependent. The kinetics of reduction of AFB(1) to B(2) and AFG(1) to G(2) by vitamin A has been investigated in dilute aqueous solution at 37 degrees C. The rate of the reduction was found to be first order with respect to the concentration of vitamin A and aflatoxin concentration.

Abstract
Aflatoxins containing B(1), B(2), G(1) and G(2) obtained by growing Aspergillus parasiticus on SMKY liquid medium were tested for cytotoxicity (hemolysis) on RBC suspension in the presence and absence of L-ascorbic acid (AA). The results revealed that hemolysis was significantly increased on increasing the concentration of aflatoxin (0.5-3 microg ml(-1)). It was also found that pretreatment with AA (5-100 microg ml(-1)) significantly decreased aflatoxin-induced hemolysis. The solution chemistry of the interaction of aflatoxin with AA in aqueous solutions showed enhanced conversion of AFB(1) and AFG(1) to AFB(2) and AFG(2), respectively. Hemolytic, kinetic and mechanistic aspects of the interactions of aflatoxins and AA are discussed.
