Several treatment options are described in the literature with reference to the management of RAS, one among these is "LASER". Whenever drug treatment proves necessary, because the outbreaks are continuous and the pain affects patient quality of life, the first option is a topical treatment. Systemic drug treatment is indicated when the outbreaks are constant and aggressive, with major aphthae, the pain is intense, and topical treatment is unable to afford symptoms relief. During the management of RAS by using systemic drugs, the possibility of side effects must be taken into account....

Ce livre décrit l'imagerie des glandes salivaires pour les pathologies affectant les glandes salivaires. Une revue détaillée est mentionnée sur les techniques d'imagerie avancées utilisées pour le diagnostic des maladies des glandes salivaires. Les méthodes d'imagerie telles que la tomographie assistée par ordinateur, l'IRM et la sonoélastographie sont passées en revue. Ce livre sera d'une grande utilité pour les étudiants de premier cycle, les étudiants de troisième cycle, les chercheurs et les universitaires des facultés de médecine et d'odontologie.

The goal of modern dentistry is to restore the patient's normal contour, function, comfort, aesthetics, speech and health, regardless of the atrophy, disease, or injury of the stomatognathic system. In many phases of prosthetic dentistry, healthy alveolar bone with normal regenerative capacity is essential for a successful treatment outcome. Residual ridge resorption is widely recognized as one of the most important factors affecting denture support, retention, stability, and masticatory function in edentulous patients. Maintenance of crestal bone level is crucial for the success of...

For successful replacement of tooth or teeth, the evaluation of bone status is mandatory. Panoramic radiography is a readily available diagnostic modality in many dental offices and provides broad anatomical coverage of the maxillofacial region and thus is often used as an initial screening tool for patients. Although these indices are regarded as an ancillary method used for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, they should be included as a routine procedure in dental examinations, to identify patients with undetected low BMD.In conclusion, low radio morphometric indices studied on panoramic...

Oxidativer Stress wird mit der Verursachung und dem Fortschreiten verschiedener Krankheiten in Verbindung gebracht, darunter Atherosklerose, Karzinogenese, neurodegenerative Erkrankungen, chronische Entzündungskrankheiten, Alterung durch Strahlenschäden und verschiedene andere pathobiologische Auswirkungen. Das Kauen von Tabak und Areca-Nüssen führt zu einer Immunsuppression durch die Bildung hoher Mengen freier Radikale. Die freien Radikale bewirken phänotypische und genetische Veränderungen, die zu Mutationen führen (neoplastische Wirkung).Es wurde vermutet, dass OSMF als...
