Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field with the potential to replace tissues lost as a result of trauma, cancer surgery, or organ dysfunction. Periodontal disease leads to loss of periodontal supporting structures, like cementum, the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone. Periodontal treatments like scaling, root planing and gingival curettage are effective in repairing disease related defects and halting further progress of disease.

Changes in the composition of saliva can be related to different physiological processes and various oral diseases. Examination of saliva as a diagnostic environment for various biomarkers is a modern method that has been used in dental medicine since last century. Aim of the study was in vivo investigation of topical fluorides and prophylactic remineralizing procedures’ influence on the end products of fat and protein metabolism in the saliva.

Background: Earlier studies have shown that the incidence of all varieties of skin cancers is lower among Indians due to the protective effects of melanin.However the pattern of skin cancers in kashmir valley is different from the rest of India due to the presence of Kangri cancer. Objective: Our aim was to assess the distribution pattern of skin tumours among ethnickashmiri population presenting to a tertiary care hospital in Kashmir and comparison of clinical diagnosis with histopathological confirmation.

The paper examines the indicators that can ensure the health security of children in Nigeria. It is estimated that at least 44 developing countries (Nigerian is one) have less than a 20% chance of achieving the 4th MDG that is to reduce child and infant mortality in the world by 2/3 by 2015. Health security is used in the paper to mean measures adopted by Government and individuals to protect children from diseases and other conditions that bring pains and discomfort to them.

The diversity of pathologic processes that may reside in a small anatomic compartment like mediastinum is impressive. The lesions may be neoplastic and non-neoplastic; and may include proliferation of somatic epithelial, lymphoid, mesenchymal and germ cell types. Anterior mediastinum is the preferred site for mediastinal masses, of which 40% or more are of thymic origin. Again approx. 90% of all thymic masses are in the anterior mediastinum.

Type II Diabetes Mellitus is associated with increasing complications and decreasing overall life expectancy globally. Vitamin D deficiency is rising equally worldwide.

The Ethical Committee approval was taken, and participation was voluntary. A pre-tested oral questionnaire was used to collect data of the subjects from two urban clinics.

The micro-invasive method applied to dentine, requires selective controlled excavation. New and various alternative methods for selective excavation and high-tech equipment for excavation control are being created. Modern science is concerned with researching these methods in regards to the control during excavation as well as the choice of method for the excavation itself. The aim of this study was characterization of dentinal surfaces during in vitro excavation with different methods for minimal intervention by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
