The load of patients visiting the orthodontic practice comprise mostly of Class II malocclusion. Pancherz reports high frequency of mandibular retrognathism amongst these Class II malocclusion. In these cases, the use of functional appliances for mandibular growth stimulation has been an appealing perspective in growing patients.1

Ameloblastoma is a benign locally invasive epithelial odontogenic tumour comprising 1% of all tumours and cysts arising in the jaws. It is commonly found in the third and fourth decade in the molar ramus region of the mandible. Among all types of ameloblastoma, multicystic ameloblastoma is believed to be locally aggressive lesion that has the tendency for recurrence. In this report we present a large multicystic ameloblastoma in the right body-ramus region of the mandible in a 30-year-old woman. This large lesion was diagnosed with the help of CT and was successfully managed by hemimandibulectomy with simultaneous reconstruction.

Tumor markers are substances that can be found in the body when cancer is present. They are most often found in the blood or urine, but they can also be found in tumors and other tissue. They can be products of the cancer cells themselves, or made by the body in response to cancer or other conditions. Most tumor markers are proteins. Tumor markers are substances that can be detected in higher-than-normal amounts in the blood, urine, or body tissues of some patients with certain types of cancer. A tumor marker may be made by a tumor itself or by the body in response to the tumor. Such a substance serves to "mark" the tumor; it is a "tumor marker".tumor markers are biochemical indicators of the presence of a tumor. They include cell-surface antigens,cytoplasmic proteins, enzymes, and hormones.

Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease of immune origin which can affect the skin, oral mucosa, and other mucous membranes. The etiopathogenesis has not been completely revealed. It has been observed that OLP affects from 0.1 to about 4% of individuals, occurring mostly in middle-aged adults, with a female predominance. The relationship between the thyroidism and oral lichen planus (OLP) remains a controversial subject for clinicians. Many studies aimed at studying the association between thyroid disorder and OLP has been conducted over the years. Geographical variations have been shown to be a major factor influencing this association. In the present review article, an effort was made to find out any possible correlation with the thyroid disorders among the patients diagnosed for OLP.

The pursuit of youth and beauty has undergone a resurgence of interest which is evidenced by increasing cosmetic procedures. In the present century, botulinum toxins (BTs) have gone from the deadly poison to remarkably versatile therapeutic agent. It works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junction interrupting the contraction process of the muscles and causes a temporary paralysis. Blockade is temporary, after which there is a return of neuromuscular function. Inactivation of muscles of facial expression by chemodenervation with botulinum toxin remains an off-label indication. Nevertheless, it continues to be a safe and effective technique to improve dynamic rhytides and is the treatment of choice for the hypertrophic lateral fibers of the orbicularis oculi muscle that can cause the superimposed crow's feet.

Demand for cosmetic therapy of gingival component is common. Altered gingival contour and gingival melanin pigmentation pose an esthetic concern to many. Reshaping of gingival tissues through surgical procedure bring about beautifully scalloped gingiva and depigmentation of the gingival tissue brings about even tone pink gingiva. Hence, to achieve these, a case was of altered passive eruption with dark melanin hyperpigmented gingiva was treated by gingivectomy and gingival depigmentation using electro-surgery unit.

Burnout is a state of prolonged stress that leads to emotional mental and physical strain. Increasing levels of burnout can be observed in not just various working professionals but even the student community. The current study was conducted to assess the prevalence of burnout among dental students of Navi Mumbai by using the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory (aMBI). A cross-sectional study was carried out amongst 500 randomly selected dental students across dental colleges in Navi Mumbai. A questionnaire with 22 questions was used to quantify burnout. Distribution of responses for each variable was examined using frequencies and percentages among the sub-groups to find out burnout levels on various components of the scales. 79.6% was the responder rate. The mean age of study participants was 18 – 26 years. 77.6% of study participants were females. 36.2% students were residential, 37.9% were non-residential, 25.9% students fell in both categories.74.87% students were in the clinical years of their course. Students under clinical coursework showed maximum levels of burnout. Depersonalisation prevailed amongst all study participants and Lack of Personal Accomplishment was a significant but minor contributor to burnout. This study is one of a kind in showing the high prevalence of burnout in dental students across Navi Mumbai through preclinical and clinical years and hence includes both undergraduates and postgraduates

Comparison of physical and mechanical properties of one conventiona filel and a new NiTi file, which had received an additional thermomechanical treatment. Both conventional (NiTi) and the new type of wire, called M-Wire (MW), were subjected to tensile and three-point bending tests, Vickers microhardness measurements, and to rotating-bending fatigue tests at a strain-controlled level of 6%. Flexibility is more better in rotary ni-ti file.Files with M-Wire is technology apparently increased the tensile strength and Vickers microhardness of the material, but its apparent Young modulus was smaller than that of conventionally treated NiTi. M-Wire presented mechanical properties that can render endodontic instruments more flexible and fatigue resistant than those made with conventionally processed NiTi wires.
