Evaluation of Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 Expression in Ameloblastoma, Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst and Odontogenic Keratocyst
Conclusion: Reduced TGF-β1 immunoexpression in epithelial cells of ameloblastomas and COCs compared to OKCs could be associated with the primitive phenotype and more invasive biological behavior of these lesions. Reduced stromal expression of TGF-β1 in OK1Cs could be explained by its looser stroma than other studied lesions. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Sciences)

Comparison Between Three Rotary Files on Quality of Obturation and Instrumentation Time in Primary Teeth & #8722; A Double Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: No significant difference was noted with respect to quality of obturation using S2 ProTaper files, Kedo-S files and RaCe files in primary teeth. There was a significant difference in instrumentation time among the three groups with least working time with RaCe files. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Sciences)

Shear Bond Strength at the Resin/Bracket Interface of Sandblasted Brackets with Different Aluminum Oxide Particle Size
Conclusion: Similar share bond strength at the resin/bracket interface can be expected after bracket sandblasting with 25µm, 50µm, and 110µm Al2O3 particle size. Independently of the particle size used, the sandblasted brackets showed greater shear bond strength than brackets without sandblasting. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Sciences)

Study on TNFRSF mRNA Alterations and P53 Mutation in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conclusion: The present work identified certain key TNFRSF and SCDRS mRNAs that could differ based on TP53 status and count with tobacco use. Also this study identified certain pathways where the gene network could potentially alter the HNSCC progression, treatment response and prognosis. This adds to our knowledge of TP53 and inflammation in HNSCC carcinogenesis. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Sciences)

Disinfection Trends of Dental X-ray Machines in North American Dental Schools
Conclusion: The majority of schools used a combination of the three methods, and all institutions abided by the CDC guidelines. As bags are more cumbersome to use with a rectangular collimator, wipes and barriers are arguably better methods to disinfect the X-ray tube head. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Sciences)

& #8220;Estimation of Midkine Levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Serum in Periodontal Health, Disease and After Treatment & #8221; & #8722; A Clinico Biochemical Study
Conclusion: As the periodontal disease progresses, there is a substantial increase of Midkine concentrations in serum and GCF. The data indicate that high GCF and serum levels of Midkine are at significantly greater risk for progression of periodontitis However, controlled, longitudinal studies are needed to confirm this possibility.

Caldesmon Expression in Metastatic and Non-Metastatic Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma & #8212;A Mediator of Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition
B. Sekar, R. Saranyan, R. Madhavan Nirmal, Indrapriyadharshini Kumaresan, Ambika Murugesan, L. KamarajJournal of Orofacial Sciences 2019 11(2):105-109
Introduction: For the past decades long-term survival of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients remain unchanged which provides a wide platform for research. Caldesmon (CaD), an actin-myosin binding protein, has a contributing role in cytoskeleton modulation and cell motility. The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of CaD in metastatic and non-metastatic OSCC and to discuss the possible role of CaD in epithelial mesenchymal transition. Materials and Metho...

Computer-Assisted Learning vs. Small Group Tutorials in Periodontal Charting: A Randomized Controlled Trial in a Malaysian Dental School
Conclusion: There was no statistical difference in the theoretical knowledge acquired by the different methods, whereas small group teaching was more effective in gaining certain psychomotor skills in periodontal charting, leading us to conclude that face-to-face teaching seems to be having an upper hand when it comes to teaching periodontal charting.

Study on oral microbial flora and antibiotic sensitivity pattern among oral cancer patients in a tertiary cancer care center
Conclusion: This study showed 80% of susceptibility to every class of commonly used antibiotics. But results are not similar in other parts of world. Antimicrobial resistance is emerging among cancer patients. Advancement and monitoring of the microbiota will improve our understanding of the role of the microbiota in carcinogenesis and open new perceptions for future therapeutic and prophylactic modalities.

Cytomorphometric Evaluation of Oral Exfoliated Cells & #8722; Its Correlation With Age of an Individual
Conclusion: Cytomorphometric evaluation of exfoliated oral cells proves reliable tool for correlation of age. Cytomorphometric analysis of exfoliated cells of buccal mucosa serves a potential alternative non-invasive procedure in evaluation and correlation of age of an individual compared to the other screening modalities, which are usually either invasive or expensive.
