ABSTRACT:
Currently, all biologics in India, including innovative and bioequivalent biologics (also known as similar biologics in India), are approved as new drugs. Recently in 2012, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) issued the “guidelines on similar biologics”. The guidance outlined an abridged procedure for the regulatory requirements for marketing authorization of similar biologics in India.
Due to limited R & D capabilities, most domestic companies manufacture simple biologics. However, companies have increasingly begun to shift their focus to the development of both novel and copy versions of monoclonal antibodies and second-generation biologics, which though more expensive and complex to develop can be priced at a premium, and compete in a much less crowded market than that faced by first-generation biologics.
A number of factors facilitate the development and uptake of Biosimilars in India. Poor patent enforcement in India provides opportunities for domestic biologics manufacturers, while publicprivate sector partnerships promote biologics development. Since there are less stringent regulatory requirements and low R&D costs, domestic biologics are priced much lower in India compared to originators, further driving uptake, as well as offering huge potential for contract manufacturing of biosimilars and for exports. Domestic companies are also entering into partnerships to facilitate development of biologics for the Indian and global market.
However, despite the low price of Biosimilars compared to originator brands, the domestic market is restricted by limited health insurance coverage and therefore poor access to biologic drugs. Also, issues regarding the quality and safety of some domestically manufactured biologics remain a concern among patients and physicians.

ABSTRACT:
Peripheral ossifying fibroma is one of many localized reactive lesions occurring on the gingiva which includes focal fibrous hyperplasia, pyogenic granuloma and peripheral giant cell granuloma. It is a solitary overgrowth of the gingiva known to arise from the cells of the periodontal ligament. As lesions with similar clinical presentation makes it difficult to diagnose, it makes histo-pathological investigation essential to positively identify the lesion. The present case report highlights the diagnosis and management of peripheral ossifying fibroma in the anterior mandible region of a female child patient.

ABSTRACT:
Aim: This in-vitro study aimed to ascertain the mode of action of three desensitizing agents namely, Arginine-containing, Propolis-containing and Potassium Nitrate-containing dentifrices using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Materials and methods: Ninety dentin slices from non carious human premolar teeth were used for the study. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups (n=30), according to the type of dentifrice applied:- Group I: Arginine-containing paste, Group II: Propolis-containing paste and Group III: Potassium nitrate-containing paste. Each group was divided into two subgroups (n=15) for the assessment by two different techniques: Subgroup A: Scanning electron microscopy examination and Subgroup B: Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy examination. SEM was used to assess the tubule occlusion and the change in the diameter of the dentinal tubules. EDXS was used to characterize the elemental composition of the occlusive material. Analysis of agents, both prior to and after application on dentine discs was performed for comparative purposes. Statistical analysis was done using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Bonferroni post hoc test for multiple comparison. Results: The dentin discs treated with arginine-containing paste (93.220% by SEM) showed statistically (p˂001) highest mean percentage of occluded tubules followed by Potassium Nitrate-containing paste (34.777% by SEM) and Propolis-containing paste (13.58 % by SEM). There was a strong evidence (p˂001) that group I (68%) was most effective in reducing the mean tubule diameter, while group II (47%) and III (44%) did not produce a significant reduction. The EDXS studies show that the dentin surface deposit and occluded tubule plugs contain high levels of calcium, phosphorus, fluorine, silica in group I and III treated specimens.

Comparison of antimicrobial efficacy of Propolis, Azadirachta indica (Neem), Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree oil), Curcuma longa (Turmeric) and 5% Sodium hypochlorite on Candida albicans biofilm formed on tooth substrate: An in-vitro study. J Pharm Biomed Sci. 2015; 05(06):469-474. Available at www.jpbms.info
ABSTRACT:
Aim: To determine the antimicrobial efficacy of Propolis, Azadirachta indica (Neem), Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree oil) ,Curcuma longa(Turmeric) and 5% Sodium hypochlorite on Candida albicans biofilm.
Materials and methods: Extracted human mandibular premolars were biomechanically prepared, vertically sectioned, placed in tissue culture wells exposing the root canal surface to C. albicans grown on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar to form a biofilm. At the end of 2 days, all groups were treated with test solutions and control for 10 min and evaluated for Candida growth and number of colony forming units were calculated. The readings were subjected to statistical analysis using ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test. Results: Sodium hypochlorite and propolis groups exhibited highest antimicrobial efficacy against C. albicans with no statistically significant difference. It was followed by Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree oil), Curcuma longa(turmeric) group. A.india (Neem) had limited antifungal action followed by the negative control group of saline. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, propolis can be used as an effective antifungal agent similar to that of sodiumhypochlorite, although long-term in vivo studies are warranted.

ABSTRACT:
Background: Autism is a Kind of disorders that lead to severely failure of ability to communications, interact or adhesion with other child or person and maintain appropriate contact with the outside society or world. Autism is consist of a complex group of neurobiological disorders caused by defects in developments of child's brain; that usually last throughout a lifetime and are classified as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). These disorders are associated with hared routines and repetitive behaviors and communications. The aim of this study was to find, the type of communication betweenorofacial manifestations and autistic disorders.
Materials and Methods: Children were selected from private specified centers for autistic disorders and special care in Hilla (Babylon) and Najaf cities of Iraq, by periodic visits. One hundred and twenty(120) subjects were incorporated in this study. All these Childs with age ranges (4.5-10.5) years, and were without any other systemic disease. All these patients were previously diagnosed by psychiatrists.
KEYWORDS: Oral manifestations; autistic disorders (AD); Dent alveolar findings.
