Introduction: The objective of this study is to investigate that patients having diabetes mellitus face more problems in a dental clinic or hospital. Oral care provided by dentists in these patients play an important role. Materials and Methods: The survey was conducted through an online platform, results were evaluated using SPSS software. Responses of these questionnaires were analysed using SPSS statistics. Crosstabs with Monte Carlo and confidence level 95% was used. Statistical significance was then analysed. Results: Results and data after analysis showed that many problems are faced by dental patients with diabetes mellitus. The main reason for this survey is to know whether people are aware about the problems faced by dental patients having diabetes mellitus and to make people aware about that. Conclusion: The present study thus concluded that patients who are having diabetes mellitus must follow the clinicians suggestions to control the blood sugar level and cooperate with the practitioners for the safest procedures.

Introduction: Teeth are the most durable structure present in our human body because of the presence of enamel which persist and resist destruction more than any other bony structure. Hard nature with high amount of resistance of tissues present in the tooth prevents any destruction which increases the lifespan of the tooth. Aim: The main aim of this study is to observe the changes in tooth morphology when immersed in  dilute and concentrated hydrochloric acid. Materials and Methods: Non-caries teeth extracted due to periodontal reasons were used from the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The tooth added to alternate dilute and concentrated hydrochloric acid was observed till 6th day and the changes were noted along with the photographs as observations. Results: The tooth left in concentrated HCl showed rapid dissolution and was completely dissolved within 24 hours. Tooth left in dilute HCl dissolved gradually and showed less dissolution when compared to concentrated HCl. Conclusion: Most durable teeth also undergo erosion and dissolution when placed in dilute HCl and concentrated HCl. Teeth act as a major clue in the field of forensic odontology.

Background: Medicinal herbs have been widely used in therapeutic applications for various diseases in today’s world. These herbs are used by village folk medicine, but without scientific evidence.  Corchorus olitorius, also known as jute mallow is a herb that possesses many curing effects like pain, fever and many other diseases like cystitis and tumour etc. Objective: The objective of the study was to elucidate the effects of corchorus olitorius as antioxidant and antidiabetic. Materials and Methods: In Vitro Evaluation of antidiabetic and antioxidant properties were conducted using various tests. Alpha - amylase inhibitory activity and  alpha glucosidase inhibitory activity for antidiabetic activity and DPPH free radical scavenging assay for antioxidant property was performed. The results were compared with standard metformin and aspirin respectively. Results: Results showed a dose dependent increase in alpha amylase inhibitory activity with concentration ranging from 100-500 micro/ml. Results showed a dose dependent increase in alpha glucosidase inhibitory activity with concentration ranging from 100-500 micro/ml. Results showed a dose dependent increase in DPPH free radical scavenging activity with concentration ranging from 100-500 micro/ml. Conclusion: The results showed an innovative finding that ethanolic seed extract of corchorus olitorius has great potential as antidiabetic and antioxidant property which can be used as novel innovative natural medication in the medical field rather than using any artificial synthetic drug which causes many other side-effects like allopathic drugs.
