Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the use of composites for orthodontic purposes among dental students. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and awareness. Google Forms was used for the distribution of questions. This is a questionnaire survey based on knowledge, attitude, and awareness regarding the use of composites for orthodontic purposes among dental students; 86% of them had awareness regarding the use of composites for orthodontic purposes, wherein the remaining 14% were not aware. Considering the limitations of the study groups, we can conclude that the knowledge, attitude, and awareness regarding the use of composites for orthodontic purposes among dental students were good. However, there is still a lack of knowledge in few perspectives which can be overcome with continuous dental education programs and lectures

Biologically synthesized green gold nanoparticles from Siberian ginseng induce growth-inhibitory effect on melanoma cells (B16).

Fenglian Wu, Jun Zhu, Guoliang Li … (2019)

Siberian ginseng, perennial herb belongs to Araliaceae family used in traditional medicines to treat hypertension, thrombus, inflammation and cancer. In the present study, we biosynthesized goldnanoparticles using Siberian ginseng aqeous extract in a cost effective manner. The synthesized Siberian ginseng gold nanoparticle (SG-GNPs) were characterized using UV-Vis spec, HR-TEM, XRD, FTIR, SAED analysis. UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis showed a surface Plasmon resonance peak at 538 nm which does not reduce till 30 days of incubation. The results of HR-TEM, XRD and SAED confirm the spherical shape, crystalline nature and the size of the synthesized gold nanoparticles. The FTIR results prove that the biological components present in the Siberian ginseng had reduced the gold ions to synthesis gold nanoparticles. After characterization, the efficacy of SG-GNPS against the melanoma, a deadliest skin carcinoma, was assessed in vitro using B16 murine melanoma cells. The CC50 dose of SG-GNPs against B16 cells were assessed with MTT assay and the anticancer activity was evaluated using Rhodamine 123, H2DCFDA and dual staining techniques. The induction of apoptosis by SG-GNPs against melanoma cells were confirmed with q-PCR analysis. The results of staining techniques prove that SG-GNPs increase the reactive oxygen species and decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential. It is further confirmed by the results of q-PCR analysis which shows increased apoptotic Bid, Bad, Casp3, Casp 9 genes and decreased antiapoptotic Bcl2 gene expression in SG-GNPs treated cells. Our results authentically prove the biosynthesized SG-GNPs induces apoptosis in melanoma cells and it possesses anticancer property.

Comparison of Extended Nasolabial Flap Versus Buccal Fat Pad Graft in the Surgical Management of Oral Submucous Fibrosis: A Prospective Pilot Study

Sandeep Patil, D. Durairaj, G. Suresh Kumar … (2017)

Aim To evaluate the application of extended nasolabial flap versus buccal fat pad graft in the surgical management of oral submucous fibrosis. Settings and Design This prospective study was carried out in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Tamil Nadu Government Dental College and Hospital, Chennai. Material and Methods A total of 8 patients (6 men and 2 women) with age range from 21 to 65 years were selected for study. These 8 patients were randomly divided into two groups of four namely group 1 and group 2. In group 1 patients, reconstruction was planned with extended nasolabial flaps and in group 2 patients, reconstruction was planned with buccal fat pad graft respectively. Statistical Analysis Used Paired t test, Independent sample t test, ANOVA test. Results The mean preoperative mouth opening in group 1 was 8.5 mm and in group 2 was 11.75 mm. The mean increase in group 1 after one year of postoperative period was 21.50 mm and in group 2 was 24.75 mm. Conclusions In the present study, buccal fat pad graft proved to give better results as the interposition material as it has good patient acceptance, rapid epithelization, minimal donor site morbidity and minimal intra and postoperative complications.
