Comparison of clinical indices and therapeutic effect of a mucoadhesive system containing Melissa 1% and triamcinolone 0.1% on lichenoid reactions
Conclusion: In general, we showed that Melissa gel has a better effect than triamcinolone onpain intensity. Although Melissa gel is effective in reducing lesion size, triamcinolone significantlyshowed better results.Key Words: Lichenoid eruptions, Melissa, triamcinolone acetonide (Source: Dental Research Journal)

In vitro bioactivity of newly introduced dual ‑cured resin‑modified calcium silicate cement
Conclusion: TheraCal PT exhibited limited in vitro bioactivity which may limit its prognosis inclinical applications for vital pulp therapy. TheraCal LC is considered a potential bioactive calciumsilicate cement despite its lower Ca2+ release compared to Biodentine. Highest bioactivity wasobserved in Biodentine.Key Words: Calcium silicate, dental cements, dental pulp capping, hydrogen ion concentration,pulpotomy (Source: Dental Research Journal)

Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma of the maxilla: Case report of a diagnostic dilemma
Ossifying fibromas (OFs) are benign, well ‑demarcated lesions in the craniofacial region, particularlyin the jaws, with clinical, radiographic, and histopathological similarities to other lesions, whichmake their diagnosis challenging. Herein, we report a case of a fibro ‑osseous lesion in the anteriormaxilla of a 13 ‑year‑old boy, consisting of an intraosseous and an extra‑osseous part, which created a diagnostic dilemma.Key Words: Case report, fibroma, maxillary neoplasms, ossifying (Source: Dental Research Journal)
