“…Historically, dental caries (tooth decay) and periodontal diseases are the most prevalent oral diseases, and their prevalence is constantly increasing globally (Rajendra Santosh et al . ). Caries is defined as ‘a biofilm‐mediated, sugar‐driven, multifactorial, dynamic disease that results in the phasic demineralization and remineralization of dental hard tissues’ (Pitts et al .…”

Background Dental caries and periodontal diseases are the most common oral diseases among human beings. Individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs) have poor oral health and limited access to dental care. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of strategies in caries and gingivitis prevention among children and adolescents with ID. Methods Four electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus) were searched from their commencement date to 17 April 2017. Randomised or non-randomised controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of interventions in caries and gingivitis prevention were included if the participants were children and adolescents with ID. Gingival index and caries experiences were reported in the format of mean difference and standard error. Metaanalysis was conducted if data could be pooled from two or more studies using similar outcome measurements and intervention. Results A total of 1455 articles published in English were identified. Fourteen studies formed the basis of qualitative analysis; six studies were feasible to perform quantitative analysis. Meta-analysis favoured fluoride to placebo in caries prevention [Z = 2.02, P < 0.05, 95% CI: À0.71 (À1.40, À0.02)], while the effectiveness of chlorhexidine remained elusive. Conclusions Both mechanical and chemical approaches had been applied to caries and gingivitis prevention among children and adolescents with ID. Insufficient evidence supported the efficacy of chlorhexidine nor powered toothbrush, while fluoride was suggested to be an effective caries preventive strategy in fluoride-deficient areas. More welldesigned randomised controlled trials using integration strategies are encouraged in further studies.(1) = (2) CHX (spray, 0.12%) = placebo CHX, chlorhexidine; CT, controlled trial; RCT, randomised controlled trial.

“…Gingivitis can exist in early childhood but more prevalent and severe in adolescents (Rajendra Santosh et al . ). If uncontrolled, gingivitis may advance to periodontitis, which can develop over time with plaque accumulation, gum recession, tissue destruction and alveolar bone loss and ultimately lead to tooth loss (Michaud et al .…”

“…For this reason, genotoxic tests are used by regulatory agencies to predict carcinogenic risk 25 . These assays are also applied in the clinical biomonitoring of periodontal diseases and viral infections 26,27 . However, the literature on the correlation between genotoxic data and OCSCC staging is still limited, which prompted this study.…”

Squamous papilloma is one of the common lesions of oral cavity. These are about less than 1cm size and care should be taken in diagnosing them as they resemble verruciform xanthoma, condyloma etc . Papilloma occurs most commonly on tongue, lips and soft palate. We present a case report of oral squamous papilloma that occurred on right labial mucosa of lower lip. Tissue was surgically excised and subjected to histopathological examination. Histopathological reports confirmed the lesion as squamous papilloma. Post operatively patient had no complications and healing was fine.
