      Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health Two Cases of Unusual Size Sialolith in Wharton’s Duct With Review of Literature- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Kalim Ansari Abstract Sialolithiasis is one of the commonest disease of major salivary gland especially submandibular salivary gland. It occurs most commonly in 3rd and 4th decades of life and rarely seen in children. Patients usually present with pain and swelling due to obstruction of salivary duct classically at meal time. The diagnosis can be made by history, physical examination and using Ultrasonography, sialography or CT scan. Treatment is mainly surgical and it depends weather the stone is intraglandular or in the salivary duct. Here we report two cases of large stone in Wharton’s duct which was removed trans- orally without any complication. We have also reviewed the related previous article Keywords: Sialolith; Calculus; Salivary gland; Sub mandibular duct;

Goldstein Perspective Keywords Complementary and alternative medicines (CAM); Osteopathic therapy (OMM); Inter-professional education and collaboration (IPE/IPC); Institute of Medicine (IOM); Trigeminal Neuralgia Tic Doloreux (TMDs,) Integrative Management of Acute and Post-Operative Dental Pain Pain management gone wrong is a national problem. There is actually an epidemic of pain medication abuse and addiction and dentistry is certainly part of that issue. However, if we all focus our attention on proper use of pain management, especially opioid medication, we can be part of the solution, while practicing safe integrative pain management and thus, reduce the risk,

  Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health Interleukin 17C: Is It A Host Defense Factor In The Oral Innate Immunity?- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Takahiro Chino Abstract Toll-like receptors (TLRs) expressed on oral epithelial cells (OECs) enable rapid response to microorganisms by secreting antimicrobial peptides as well as cytokines that play pivotal roles in antimicrobial immunity. Several lines of investigation have revealed that cytokines play important roles not only in tissue homeostasis, but also in the pathogenesis of infectious disease including periodontitis. OECs also express receptors for a number of different cytokines. Thus, cytokines secreted by OECs may play an autocrine role or may influence adjacent non-epithelial cells. IL-17C, a member of the IL-17 cytokine family, is mainly produced by epithelial cells. Its role in the gut- immune system has recently been proposed, however, the biological significance of IL-17C a

            Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health The Effect of Pistacia Atlantica and Hypericum Perforatum as a Healing Accelerator Remedy on Induced Oral Mucositis in Male Golden Hamster- Juniper Publishers Authored by Nader Tanideh Abstract Oral mucositis is a painful condition that occurs as a side effect of chemotherapy. P. atlantica and H. perforatum have long been known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties as an alternative medicine. This study evaluated the healing effects of extraction of P. atlantica and H. perforatum, on 5-FU induced oral mucositis in golden hamsters by histopathology, clinically, and anti-oxidative assessments. Oral mucositis was induced in 60 male golden hamsters by administration of 5-FU (60mg/kg), on days 0, 5, and 10 of the study. Animals were randomly divided in 5 groups, (n=12). They were treated with hydro-alcoholic extract of H. perforatum (topical gel 10%) (Group 1), P. atlanti
