Background And Objectives: Oral cavity cancer is a one of the common form of malignancies in the northeastern India. This study was to analyze, treatments and outcomes of oral cancers. Materials And Methods: The study was conducted in the department of Otorhinolaryngology and head Neck Surgery, Assam Medical College and Hospital, Dibrugarh, Assam, India between February 2014 to September 2015. ...

The role of a buccal gas bubble, held while performing aquatic surface respiration (ASR; ventilating the gills with surface water during hypoxia), was examined in benthic, intertidal Australian gobies (Favonigobius tamarensis, F. exquisitus, Pseudogobius olorum, Chlamydogobius sp., Mugilogobius paludis, Cryptocentroides cristatus and Arenigobius bifrenatus). Analyses of the forces of lift and w...

More than half of patients receiving prescription medicine for cancer pain have been reported to experience inadequate pain relief or breakthrough pain. Buccal administration can deliver lipophilic opioids rapidly to the systemic circulation through the buccal mucosa, limiting gastrointestinal motility and first-pass metabolism. This review updates the safety and efficacy of fentanyl buccal sol...

Breathing in amphibians is a remarkably complex behavior consisting of irregular breaths that may be taken singly or in bouts that are used to deflate and inflate the lungs. The valves at the two outlets of the buccal cavity (nares and glottis) need to be finely controlled throughout the bout for the expression of these complex respiratory behaviors. In this study, we use a technique based on t...

Two kinematic models of the radula/odontophore of the marine mollusc Aplysia californica were created to characterize the movement of structures inside the buccal mass during the feeding cycle in vivo. Both models produce a continuous range of three-dimensional shape changes in the radula/odontophore, but they are fundamentally different in construction. The radulacentric model treats the radul...

Lingual mandibular bone defects, also known as Stafne bone cavity (SC), are unilateral asymptomatic radiolucencies, generally seen in the mandibular angle, below the inferior alveolar canal. Although panoramic radiographies normally offer enough information to make a correct diagnosis, additional studies are often required, especially in atypical cases. The present report describes an atypical ...

Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a rare organ-specific autoimmune subepithelial blistering disease with predominantly mucosal erosions, most frequently affecting the gingiva. Erosions in the oral cavity usually result in markedly decreased quality of life. The major autoantigens are BP180 and laminin332, which are components of basement membrane proteins in the skin and mucosa. Diagnosis is ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate success of pulpal anaesthesia of mandibular 1st molar by using 4% articaine in buccal infiltration versus 2% lidocaine in inferior alveolar nerve block. STUDY DESIGN Randomized control trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Operative Dentistry, Sardar Begum Dental College, Gandhara University, Peshawar, from March to August 2014. METHODOLOGY One hundred and...

INTRODUCTION The force delivered during rapid maxillary expansion (RME) produces areas of compression on the periodontal ligament of the supporting teeth. The resulting alveolar bone resorption can lead to unwanted tooth movement in the same direction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate periodontal changes by means of computed tomography after RME with tooth-tissue-borne and tooth-borne ...

Background The use of the Buccal Fat Pad (BFP) as a pedicled graft in the closure of intra-oral defects after oncological resections has gained in popularity, it is probably due to the ease of access, the rich blood supply and the low morbidity. The purpose of this study is to show our clinical experience and the results related to the use of the BFP in the repair selective malignant lesions of...
