Study to evaluate and correlate the levels of heavy metals in dental calculus of burnt tobacco (Mishri) users and non-tobacco users with their periodontal status Using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS)
Abstract: The use of burnt tobacco products, such as Mishri, is associated with numerous health risks, including periodontal diseases. Heavy metals present in tobacco can accumulate in dental calculus, potentially exacerbating periodontal conditions. This study aimed to assess and establish a correlation between the levels of heavy metals present in dental calculus among burnt tobacco (Mishri) users and non-tobacco users, in relation to their periodontal health status. Utilizing Atomic Absorption Spectrometry …

Development of a Polymeric Detection System for Salivary Annexin-1: A Potential Tool for Point-of-Care Diagnostics in Periodontal Disease
Abstract: Salivary annexin-1, a protein with anti-inflammatory properties, has emerged as a potential biomarker for periodontal disease. However, current detection methods, like ELISA, are often complex and require laboratory settings. This study explores the development of a novel polymeric detection system for the rapid and sensitive identification of salivary annexin-1. This system could leverage the unique properties of polymers to create a point-of-care diagnostic tool for: (1) early detection and monitoring …
