Etiology is still unknown; certain triggering factors include mental stress, medicines and systemic disorders. Oral Lichen planus is a painful disorder; mainly involve the buccal mucosa of the oral cavity. The reticular pattern is most common while atrophic and erosive type of oral lichen planus are less common. Here we present a rare case of a reticular lichen planus involving the right buccal mucosa and tongue of 18 years old female patient without any cutaneous lesions.","PeriodicalId":249152,"journal":{"name":"Current Dental Research Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129923913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was a descriptive experimental study. The dried powder extract of the whole LA plant was subjected to various procedures such as phytochemical analysis, antioxidant assay (DPPH) and assessment of anti-inflammatory effect (Cytokine activity in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells) and the results were tabulated. Significance of anti-inflammatory activity was tested by T-test. Our analysis has confirmed that 100µg of plant extract showed high amount of antioxidant activity (78%). The cytokine inhibitory percentage of our plant extract showed consistent increase when tested from 250 ug/ml to 1000ug/ml to be from 24% to 39% thus demonstrating significantly high level of anti-inflammatory potential (P > 0.01). Our study suggests that LA plant can be safely utilized for testing and developing products based on its extract.","PeriodicalId":249152,"journal":{"name":"Current Dental Research Journal","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128583383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Composite restorations placed in patients oral cavity is subjected to masticatory load, pH changes and chemical effect due to mouthwashes, beverages, food etc and the detrimental effects associated with these challenges on the microhardness of composite has to be determined. The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of two commercially available non-alcoholic mouth rinses on the microhardness of micro-hybrid and nanohybrid composite resins. Forty disc-shaped composite specimens were made from each type of composite materials and were divided into 5 groups with 8 samples each, Group 1= Microhybrid+Chlorhex, Group2=Microhybrid + Hexidine, Group3= Nanohybrid + Chlorhex, Group4= Nanohybrid+ Hexidine, Group 5= Nanohybrid and Micro hybrid + artificial saliva(Control).The samples were immersed in mouthrinses for 24 hrs and microhardness was subsequently measured using a Vicker’s microhardness tester. There was no significant difference in microhardness values of tested composite resins in either mouth rinses when compared to composites immersed in artificial saliva. Non-alcoholic mouth rinses do not affect the microhardness of micro-hybrid and nanohybrid composites.","PeriodicalId":249152,"journal":{"name":"Current Dental Research Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130736489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
