Ultrasonography (USG) has been employed in recent research to assess the cross-sectional dimensions of head and neck muscles in OSF patients. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the ultrasonographic changes in the cross-sectional thickness of masseteric muscle in patients with and without OSF. Also, to compare the cross-sectional thickness of masseteric muscle in patients with different clinical stages and histologic grades of OSF. Methods: The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The protocol was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee, and written informed consent was obtained from all patients. The study population was divided into cases and controls. Cases consisted of 63 patients clinically diagnosed as having OSF and controls consisted of 63 persons selected from the patients attending the department of Oral Medicine and Radiology. According to Khanna and Andrade's criteria, OSF patients were divided into four groups based on their clinical findings. Ultrasonography of masseter muscle was performed with a high-resolution real-time LOGIQUE C5 ultrasound scanner with 7–12 MHz transducers. Results: One-way ANOVA and t test were used to evaluate the results. The study showed a clear association of masseter muscle hypertrophy with OSF. In controls, ultrasound measurements of masseter muscle thickness were statistically significant. In the case group, masseter muscle thickness was increased as the duration and frequency of the chewing increased and also as the disease progressed. Conclusions: USG is a valuable, radiation-free, and noninvasive better diagnostic tool than clinical and histopathological examinations for OSF evaluation.","PeriodicalId":31366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology","volume":"35 1","pages":"75 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46475438","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}

Aims and Objective: To evaluate and compare salivary IL-8 levels in patients with tobacco users, oral cancer, and potentially malignant disorders and healthy individuals using ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Materials and Method: Eighty samples were grouped into four sub-groups, with 20 samples in each group: Group I: 20 oral cancer patients; Group II: 20 potentially malignant disorders; Group III: 20 tobacco users; Group IV: 20 control subjects. A sample of unstimulated saliva of 5 mL was collected from the selected individuals based on the exclusion and inclusion criteria. Saliva was centrifuged at 3500 revolutions per minute (rpm), and ELISA for IL-8 was carried out in saliva, stored at –4°C. Results: IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows 11, Version 23.0 (Armonk, New York: IBM Corp) software was used for the analysis of data. Using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test for post-hoc analysis, the significant difference in the multi-variate analysis was determined. The mean value of salivary IL-8 levels in Groups I, II, II, and IV was 1055.7, 1074.0, 857.9, and 781.7, respectively. The P value between the groups is 0.77 (p > 0.05), which is statistically not significant.

Aims and Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the resolution of the lesion, recurrence, and complications in patients treated with the novel modified decompression technique. Materials and Methods: The retrospective study included patients treated with the novel modified decompression technique between 2004 and 2022. The cystic lesions were packed with chlorhexidine acetate gauze dressing (Bactigras), and patients were prescribed a combination of Calcium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D. Pack was changed periodically until a reduction of at least 80% in the volume of the lesion was achieved. Period of decompression, volume at each follow-up, and lesion size were recorded. In addition, inter-group significance co-relating the size and diagnosis of the lesions with the rate and duration of healing were derived by ANOVA test. Results: OKC, unicystic ameloblastoma, and dentigerous cysts were included, and the follow-up period ranged from one year to eighteen years. 25 cases (83.33%) showed full resolution, whereas five cases (16.17%) showed more than 80% resolution. The period of decompression and the rate of decompression was found to correlate with both the diagnosis and the size of the lesion. Conclusions: The modified decompression technique is superior to traditional decompression with a high rate of resolution of cystic lesions and no recurrence over a long follow-up period.","PeriodicalId":31366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology","volume":"35 1","pages":"36 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46671434","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}

Therefore, the conservative line of treatment should be tried first. Jacoway and colleagues proposed that the intralesional administration of corticosteroids acts on the giant cells that have osteoclasts receptors present on their surface and thus, corticosteroids induce apoptosis, causing remission of the lesion. An 11-year girl reported non-tender bony swelling in the left mandibular region for 3 months. CBCT revealed a large lytic lesion from teeth 33 to 37 measuring about 4 cm × 4 cm approximately. A biopsy was done, which diagnosed the lesion as central giant cell granuloma. 10 mg/ml of triamcinolone acetonide intralesional injection per cm of the lesion was injected. The protocol of initially giving intralesional corticosteroid injections can be used as a first treatment option for the management of CGCG rather than going for an initial aggressive surgical approach.","PeriodicalId":31366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology","volume":"35 1","pages":"141 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43795411","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}
