A total of twenty-four cases of MEC were recruited from different tertiary health care hospitals in Lahore and Multan. Data consisting of demographics and clinical features was collected. Histopathological analysis was done according to Seethala's grading system. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to observe PD-L2 expression. Data was analyzed by using SPSS 25 RESULTS: : The mean age was 30.08±12.8 years and there were 41.7% males and 58.3% females. Most common site of involvement was found to be parotid gland. A total of (54.2%) cases were of low grade. Strong PD-L2 expression was observed in 12(50%) cases while in 5(21%) cases there was week expression. No significant association of PD-L2 expression with grade of tumor was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Among salivary gland tumors, Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is emerging as most frequently diagnosed malignancy. These tumors originate mainly from parotid glands usually during fourth decade of life. As preliminary data generated from current research has highlighted the expression of PD-L2 in malignant MEC.

METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study involved 610 students studying in 8 different schools of Raiwind, Lahore. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from Sharif Medical and Dental College, Lahore. Data was collected by the primary researcher and recorded in predesigned proforma. Each student was inspected while seated in an upright position in natural day light, using disposable wooden blades to retract the cheek to record posterior dental relationships and to retract lips to record anterior dental relationships. Data was scrutinized using SPSS and chi-square test was used to find the statistical significance of the association between various parafunctional oral habits and types of malocclusions. RESULTS: The frequency of parafunctional oral habits was 57.3% among 610 adolescent students, being more prevalent in females (72.9%) than males (52.3%). The most common oral parafunctional habit was bruxism (18.0%) and least frequent was thumb sucking (8.4%). Association between oral parafunctional habits and malocclusion in all three planes was found to be significant (p=0.0). CONCLUSION: The parafunctional oral habits such as bruxism, tongue thrusting, nail biting, mouth breathing and thumb sucking are very commonly found among adolescents in the same descending order. Most common malocclusions found to be associated with parafunctional oral habits are exaggerated over-jet, open bite and deep bite. Parafunctional oral habits have a strong influence on developing malocclusion traits in all three dimensions.

METHODOLOGY: A total of 285 dental units were included in the study out of which 250 belonged to DTH and 35 to PC. Gushing was initially performed on hand to remove visible moisture from the TWS. The number of gushes required to remove visible moisture were recorded and the moisture-sensing device was used to assess the amount of invisible moisture in dry-air released from the TWS. SPSS v 22 was used to compare data of DTH and PC with the help of Mann Whitney U test. The pre- and post-exposure humidity of the sensing chamber was analyzed through Wilcoxon signed rank test. p value of < 0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS: The power of the study was found to be > 99%. The moisture was present in 77.6% of the TWS in DTH and 37.1% in PC (p <0.001). Significantly higher number of hand gushes were required in DTH to eliminate the visible moisture as compared to PC (p= 0.022).
