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 …

Simultaneous Estimation of Atenolol and Nifedipine to be incorporated in Buccal Patch: Method Development and Validation by UV-Spectrophotometric Approach
Abstract: A simple, precise, accurate and reproducible spectrophotometric method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of Atenolol and Nifedipine. Atenolol and Nifedipine are used in combined dosage form for cardiovascular diseases. Hence, it is necessary to develop a method to analyze the two drugs simultaneously by UV-spectroscopic method. Simulated salivary fluid of pH 6.8 was used as the medium. Simultaneous equation method was developed as per ICH guidelines. The absorption …

Formulation and Evaluation of Saliva Substitute
Abstract: The development and evaluation of saliva substitutes play a vital role in managing xerostomia, a condition marked by insufficient saliva production that adversely affects oral health and overall well-being. This study investigates various formulations of saliva substitutes intended to replicate the functionality of natural saliva. The key goals are to assess their moisturizing effectiveness, physical and chemical properties, and in vitro performance. These formulations generally incorporate hydrators, lubricants, thickeners, and …

Comparative evaluation of Chromogranin A levels in GCF and saliva in healthy, chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis patients – A Descriptive Co-relational study.
Abstract: Periodontal destruction is a combination of complex physiopathological process. Stress acts in the body by releasing stress hormones, the glucocorticoids and the catecholamines. Chromogranin A is a secretory glycoprotein which can be used as a biomarker. Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate levels of chromogranin A in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva in healthy, chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis patients and to further correlate the clinical …
