Abstract: Aim: To evaluate the effect of topical Anesthesia on the results of Schirmer's I Test(S I t) in normal Eyes. Methods: Totally, 200 eyes in 100 Normal individuals, male (34) and female (66), (with a mean age of 59 years) were examined. S I t without anesthesia was performed firstly, and 15 minutes later it was applied in the same person after topical anesthesia with 0.5% Proparacaine Hydrochloride eye drops. Results: The wetting length in S I t after topical anesthesia was significantly lower than that in S I t without anesthesia (P<0.05). Conclusion: Schirmer I test is used to detect the true basal secretion of tears and this study shows that topical anesthesia usage is better in detecting true basal secretion as Schirmer's I test without anesthesia shows an apparently increased wetting due to some amount of reflex secretion.

Abstract: Periodontal diagnosis is an important label that clinicians place on patients periodontal condition or disease. A well structured and detailed history with a comprehensive and complete examination helps establish an accurate diagnosis. The prognosis and treatment plan for the patient relies almost entirely on proper clinical diagnosis. Despite extensive research to develop novel techniques for improved diagnostic quality the traditional methods clinical diagnosis still remains the mainstay of diagnosis. A good understanding of patient history and findings help provide a customized treatment plan, attending to all specific needs of the individual patient. This article provides details ; on the history of the patient with respect to medical , dental, personal, family aspect as well as thorough clinical examination assessing different components of the periodontium.

Abstract: The presence of hyperpigmented sessile polypoid growth present over the posterior vaginal wall, which was found to be an incidental finding in a woman of reproductive age group during regular gynecological examination. To find the origin, and the pathology involved and the nature of the lesion ,biopsy of the hyperpigmented growth was done and the specimen sent for histopathology.
