Lycopene showed better results than curcumin in improving mouth opening; both the drugs were equally effective in decreasing burning sensation in OSMF patients.
IntroductionThis review was undertaken to analyze the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and dental caries with the available literature evidence.Materials and methodsThe articles were searched from Medline/PubMed and Journal of Web published between 2005 and 2016.ResultsOut of the 146 references obtained, 16 articles in English language were read in full, which fulfilled the inclusion criteria after assessing by Down and Black criteria.ConclusionNo consensus was reached in the relationship between BMI and dental caries in the present review due to varied associationsHow to cite this article: Shivakumar S, Srivastava A, Shivakumar GC.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a group of conditions that affect the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement.These disorders are often associated with symptoms such as pain, discomfort and restricted jaw movements. The management of TMD requires a comprehensive approach that considers multiple factors such as oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). 1TMDs are the second-most prevalent musculoskeletal disease that causes pain and disability. It is also a significant public health issue affecting 5%-12% of the population. 2 The aetiology of the TMD is multifactorial. Microtrauma (particularly bruxism), emotional
Primary eruption failure is a poorly understood condition in which the teeth fail to erupt in oral cavity in absence of any local or systemic factors. First and second molars are most commonly affected but one or more number of teeth, primary or permanent can be partially or completely affected. The orthodontic or surgical methods to get such teeth in occlusion have failed miserably. The early diagnosis of primary eruption failure (PEF) will allow the dentist to accurately rehabilitate the patient without wasting any time on treatments which are bound to fail.How to cite this articleShivakumar GC, Srivastava A, et al.
