A dermoid cyst is a teratoma of a cystic nature that contains an array of developmentally mature, solid tissues. It frequently consists of skin, hair follicles, and sweat glands, while other commonly found components include clumps of long hair,pocketsof sebum, blood, fat, bone, nail, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue. As dermoid cysts grow slowly and contain mature tissue, this type of cystic teratoma is nearly always benign. In those rare cases wherein the dermoid cyst is malignant, a squamous cell carcinoma usually develops in adults, while infants and children are usually present with an endodermal sinus tumor.

The introduction of laser light as a source of amplified, stimulated emission of radiation, gave clinicians and researchers a chance and opportunity to obtain and use these high-powered light on biological tissues to create a new perspective for its application in healing and tissue regeneration. The use of laser light at power levels (specific wavelengths and power) have been documented to be capable of protein denaturation, water vaporisation and tissue ablation. The purpose of this article is to explain the mechanisms of action and to explore the uses of this group of lasers in general dental practice.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various fields, including business, medicine, education, and the arts. In the medical field, AI has made remarkable progress. AI algorithms designed for medical imaging can analyze images to detect abnormalities, leading to more precise and timely diagnose. In dentistry, it is used in diagnostic imaging, dental analytics, treatment planning, virtual and augmented reality training, natural language processing for medical records, patient experience through chatbots, and oral hygiene with smart devices. In periodontics, AI is being explored for tasks such as diagnosing and predicting periodontally compromised teeth, severity prediction of chronic periodontitis, correlation with systemic health outcomes, and detection of periodontal bone loss in radiographic images.While AI holds great potential, it also poses challenges. Privacy, security, transparency, accountability, and the impact on economic inequality and job markets are important considerations.

Cephalometrics play a integral role in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning especially for sagittal skeletal discrepancies. Most patients are concerned about anteroposterior discrepancy, hence has received maximum attention in orthodontics. Therefore, number of analyses has been proposed over the years with varying degrees of reliability and success in assessing sagittal jaw relationships. It is absolutely essential that a clinician be aware of a range of analyses to be used in different situations. This review is to discuss various cepahlometric angular and linear geometric parameters for assessment of sagittal jaw relationship

The concepts, methods, and management of the issues related to gingival melanin pigmentation still need to be well defined. Melanin pigmentation is frequently caused by an aberrant deposition of melanin in the gingiva, making the gums seem black. This case report describes a simple and effective depigmentation technique using a diode laser which has produced good results with patient satisfaction. The Dummet oral pigmentation index (DOPI) was used to assess gingival hyperpigmentation intensity. This case report describes a simple and effective depigmentation technique using semiconductor diode laser surgery – for gingival depigmentation, which has produced good results and patient satisfaction. The diode laser is a reasonably safe, minimally invasive, and secure method for removing gingival hyperpigmentation.

Dentigerous cysts are benign odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crowns of permanent teeth and rarely recur. They are usually single in occurrence and located in the mandible.Multiple cysts are reported in patients with conditions such as mucopolys - accharidosis and basal cell nevus syndrome. Here, we report a case of impacted maxillary cuspid with dentigerous cyst in a nonsyndromic patient.

In1920, Bruggemann, arises in the lower part of nasolacrimal ducts.In 1969 Roed-Petersen, nasolacrimal duct are lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium .In 1993,Klestadt suggested, they arise from junction of the globular process, the lateral nasal process and the maxillary process as a result of proliferation of entrapped epithelium along the fusion line. Nasolabial cyst is a non-odontogenic, soft tissue cyst characterized by its extra osseous location in the nasal alar region. It is synonymous with nasoalveolar cyst, nasal vestibule cyst, nasal wing cyst and mucoid cyst of the nose.Etiopathogenesis:Two theorieshave been suggested to explain the origin of nasolabial cyst. Klestadt in 1993 suggested that they arise from trapped epithelium at the point where the maxillary, medial nasal, and lateral nasal processes fuse which become inclusion cyst. However, a lack of evidence to support the idea of embryonic epithelial entrapment in this location prompted many researchers to discard this hypothesis.Bruggeman in 1920 had suggested that nasolabial cysts develop from remnants of the embryonic nasolacrimal ducts. This theory is supported by the fact that the nasolacrimal ducts are lined with pseudostratified columnar epithelium, which is the type of epithelium found in the nasolabial cyst cavity.

Several studies have offered clues pointing to lifestyle factors as the primary cause of poor health and disease control. Addressing patients' lifestyle concerns is the key to providing healthcare, especially oral healthcare(1). It has been hypothesized that dental professionals could help patients most with managing their chronic diseases if they paid more attention to patients’behavior Periodontal health refers to the state of the gums, bones, and other tissues that support the teeth(2). Good periodontal health means that these tissues are healthy and free from inflammation and infection.Maintaining good periodontal health is important for overall oral health and can help prevent tooth loss and other oral health problems(3).Self-care and lifestyle modifications are patient-performed therapies necessary to preserve periodontal health. Chronic periodontitis, like many other noncommunicable illnesses, can be managed by addressing some of the risk factors, which will have a positive impact on the patient's oral and general health. While this may seem simple in theory, many dentists lack the expertise, experience, and/or self-assurance necessary to assist their patients in making positive changes to their daily habits. There has been a rise in both interest and study on behavior change among those concerned with periodontal health. This is a concise overview of the research on periodontal health behavior interventions.

Joseph Priestley's discovered of nitrous oxide (N2O) in 1772. Nitrous oxide is the first modern anesthetics, was first manufactured in by this English chemist. Sir Humphrey Davy (1800) experimented with the physiological properties; he coined the term “laughing gas”. Dr. Horace Wells (1844)- Nitrous oxide was used for the first time as a dental anesthetic drug. Provision of General Anaesthesia is now limited and restricted to the hospital setting. Sedation for paediatric patients is an essential tool in anxiety management and is used as an adjunct to behaviour management. Inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide/oxygen sedation to reach a plane of relative analgesia may be administered easily and safely in children for general dental practice and is a potential alternative to general anaesthesia.

Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by abnormal development of certain tissues and structures of ectodermal origin. This condition is of importance to dentists as it affects the teeth resulting in hypodontia or anodontia. It can also affect the skin, the lens or retina of the eye, parts of the inner ear, the development of fingers and toes, the nerves and other parts of the body. Apart from having difficulties in eating and speaking, young affected individuals can also feel that they look different from their peers, resulting in low self-esteem.The aim of this paper is to report one such case and discuss the etiology, genetis, clinical manifestations and treatment options of this hereditary disorder.
