ABSTRACT
Introduction: In developing nations, the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has resulted in significant morbidity and socioeconomic consequences. Hypomagnesemia has been associated with insulin resistance and related micro- vascular consequences due to its ability to trigger hyperglycemia. Although many research articles on glycemic control have been published in recent years, the latest therapeutic approaches may not be feasible to all. As a result, prioritising preventative and primary care research becomes critical. Aim and objective: The study is aimed at estimating serum magnesium concentration and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus. This will help us evaluate how glycemic control in Diabetes can influence serum Magnesium levels. Method: The study consists of 50 consenting patients who came for routine blood investigations. Those patients having high random blood sugar were selected and divided into two groups based on their age. i.e. 25-50, 51-75. Other parameters con- sidered were age, gender and diet. After an overnight fasting, blood of the consenting patient was collected. Magnesium was measured by Cobas 6000 using the calorimeter end-point method. The other blood sample was transferred into an EDTA test tube which was used to estimate HbA1c level. Result: Participants were divided into two groups based on their age. i.e. 25-50, 51-75. The mean serum magnesium levels were 1.46 mg/dL for group 1 and 1.3 mg/dL for group 2. The mean HbA1c levels for group 1 were 7.65 and and 8.36 for group 2 respectively. According to Pearson’s correlation coefficient, inverse correlation was found between HbA1c levels and Serum magnesium levels. Conclusion: Magnesium insufficiency has been linked to a higher incidence of diabetic due to poor glycemic management in people with diabetes. To avoid such problems and maintain glycemic control, dietary supplements may be recommended. Large-scale clinical research is also required.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Verrucous Papillary Lesions (VPLs) clinically present themselves as an exophytic growth seen commonly as grey- white in color. A dominant part of the favorable VPLs have viral etiology and incorporate commonly occurring squamous papil- loma alongside verruca vulgaris, central epithelial hyperplasia, and condyloma. Current comprehension of possibly malignant VPLs is astounding and is basically ascribed to the utilization of confounding and unacceptable terminology. Verrucous Hyper- plasia (VH) of the oral mucosa is a relatively intricate entity possessing paradoxical features making it difficult to diagnose when compared to other verruco-papillary lesions such as Verrucous Carcinoma (VC). Case Presentation: This case report depicts the presentation of Oral verrucous hyperplasia along with dysplasia seen in buccal mucosa of a 46-year-old patient. Management and Prognosis: Surgical excision was performed and ensured that margins were included in the excision to avoid any recurrence of the lesion. Conclusion: The most dependable approach to isolate these substances on routine hematoxylin-eosin stained tissue areas is to perceive the exophytic growth patterns of oral verrucous hyperplasia from the combined exophytic and endophytic growth patterns related with verrucous carcinoma. Furthermore, investigations on this are required using Immunohistochemical meth- ods.
ABSTRACT
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. The lesion has been recognized to occur at various sites but rarely affects the head and neck region. A 29-year-old male presented with a 13 months' history of a slow growing, painless growth in maxillary left posterior gingiva. An excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia. Microscopic examination revealed a compact cellular spindle cell proliferation with collagenous stroma having storiform architecture. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the tumor cells were positive for smooth muscle actin, CD-68 and negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase. Oral IMT should be included in the differential diagnosis of localized gingival enlargement mimicking oral hyperplastic/reactive lesions
ABSTRACT
Dentigerous cyst is the most common developmental odontogenic cyst, frequently noted as an incidental finding on radiographs. It commonly affects the permanent mandibular third molars and maxillary canines. We present a case of a dentigerous cyst involving an impacted mandibular second molar in a 21-year-old female.
ABSTRACT
Separation of the endodontic instrument within the root canal system and sharp injuries to the dentist is not an uncommon event in endodontic practice. Although root canal instruments can fracture at any stage of endodontic treatment, its fracture within the dentist’s hand is a very rare event. An unusual case of accidental separation and lodgment of rotary endodontic file in the dentist’s thumb is presented along with its management. A 33‑year‑old dentist reported with an accidental lodgment of rotary endodontic file into his thumb. The fractured instrument was removed successfully by a surgeon. The present case describes a rare event of occupational risk in endodontic practice.
ABSTRACT
O cisto odontogênico inflamatório mais comum é o cisto radicular. Ele se forma como resultado de necrose pulpar devido à presença de dentes cariados. Os corpos de Rushton podem ser vistos como estruturas irregulares na superfície do epitélio dos cistos odontogênicos. Este relato apresenta um caso raro de um cisto radicular mostrando corpos de Rushton em um paciente do sexo masculino de 47 anos de idade.
The most common inflammatory odontogenic cyst is the radicular cyst. It forms as a result of pulp necrosis due to the presence of carious teeth. Rushton bodies may be seen as irregular structures on the surface epithelium of odontogenic cysts. We present a rare case of a radicular cyst showing rushton bodies in a 47-year-old male patient.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms. Fibrolipoma is a histological variant of lipoma that mostly affects the buccal mucosa and causes functional and cosmetic disabilities. The diagnosis and differentiation of fibrolipoma with clinically similar lesions such as fibroma and pleomorphic adenoma is very essential for a correct treatment plan and complete follow-up. This article presents a case of a 35-year-old female with a fibrolipoma on the lingual marginal gingiva of the mandibular left third molar.
