The aim of the study was the demographic description of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Most of the cases report at advanced stages of the disease which often leads to delay in the management coupled with the fact that health care centers are burdened with long waiting lists. Strategies to overcome the present situation must be undertaken by oral health programs for the early diagnosis and prevention and management and follow up of oral cancer.

Aim:The aim of this study are to determine the hemodynamic changes in healthy patients during the surgical removal of lower third molar and to evaluate whether these variations are attributable to patient anxiety and pain experienced during surgical procedure.Materials and Methods:Sixty healthy patients were evaluated (i) to determine the hemodynamic changes (systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP], heart rate [HR], and oxygen saturation) at nine occasions: before starting the surgical procedure, 1 min and 4 min after local anesthetic injection, during the incision, at the time of ostectomy, at the completion of tooth removal, at the start and completion of suturing, and finally, after completion of surgery and (ii) to evaluate whether these variations are attributable to patient anxiety and pain experienced during the surgical procedure. Hemodynamic variables were compared between the gender and at different time points by performing two-way analysis of variance for repeated measures. Global mean values of hemodynamic variables were compared between male and female using unpaired t-test. Categorical variables were compared by Chi-square test. All the tests were two-sided. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:SBP and DBP showed significant changes; the highest value was recorded at the time of ostectomy/tooth sectioning. Maximum HR was observed 4 min after local anesthetic injection and the lowest HR was recorded after completion of tooth extraction, i.e., during the suturing. In females, mean HR was significantly increased.Conclusion:The present study suggests that dental anxiety impacts the effect of delivery of local anesthesia on blood pressure and is significantly associated with increased HR.

The aim of study was to evaluate prevalence of systemic disease in oral surgery patients of central India which is 4.055 % with highest population showing involvement of cardiovascular disease and minimum population undergoing oral surgical procedures are compromised by various infectious diseases.
