In this compendium, the scientific research articles already published in reputed International and National Journals by the faculty of the affiliated colleges during the year 2009 were included. There was overwhelming response from the faculty and students of the affiliated colleges which encouraged us to publish Volume II of the compendium separately for Medical, Dental and Pharmacy faculties. I hope that the publication of compendium of scientific publications by the faculty of this University will be well received by all the stake holders. If this publication inculcates in the faculty and students of this University to undertake new research activities and publish the research articles in reputed Journals, the effort of University will be considered as successful.

Kamarthi Nagaraju Diagnostic efficiency of toluidine blue with Shivaprasad Lugol ’ s iodine in oral Premalignant and Ashok L malignant lesions. Abstract : Background and Objectives: In vivo stains are prompt resources, which have emerged, in the recent years, to aid as clinical diagnostic tools in detecting early premalignant and malignant lesions. The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic efficiency of toluidine blue with Lugol's iodine in oral premalignancies and malignancies and to evaluate the reliability of in vivo staining with toluidine blue and Lugol's iodine in the lesions at risk of malignancy. 2. Indian Journal of Public Health Research Shubha C, Ashok L, Bilateral tonsillolith: A case report & Development 2010;1(2):96-98. Sujatha G. P Abstract: Tonsilloliths present as medical curiosities that are discovered incidentally on dental or soft tissue radiographs. They are usually asymptomatic and are found usually during routine imaging procedures. A rare case of bilateral tonsillolith in a male patient aged 70 years, which was incidentally discovered on routine panoramic radiograph and confirmed by Computed Tomography. In conclusion, even though in our case tonsillolith was asymptomatic, special emphasis is made on differential diagnosis as some of the soft tissue calcifications that occur in orofacial region may hint occult systemic conditions like atherosclerosis associated cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. 3. Journal of Pearldent 2010;1(3):26- 31. Ashok L. Leukemic gingival enlargement: Poornima R. a diagnostic challenge Abstract: The oral cavity might be thought of as the window to the body, because oral manifestations accompany many systemic diseases. There is no region in the body in which so many diseases manifest themselves as in the oral cavity. A series of diseases may be unique to the oral cavity and its components; others may involve other parts of the body. However, they localize preferentially and appear as a partial manifestation of an acute or chronic general disease and elicit such characteristic oral changes which are of great importance for the diagnosis. These oral manifestations must be properly recognized if the patient has to receive appropriate diagnosis, referral and treatment. Oral physicians are credited to be the first detectors of few occult systemic diseases. One such entity is leukemic gingival enlargement 4. Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Kamala K.

Abstract: : Background and objectives: Oral submucous fibrosis is a well-recognised and most prevalent premalignant condition of oral mucosa in India and Southeast Asia. Frequent and prolonged chewing of gutkha (readymade mixture of arecanut, tobacco, lime, catechu and sweetening agent) exerts undue pressure on muscles of mastication, which in turn may result in work hypertrophy of muscle. The present study was undertaken to measure thickness of masseter muscle at rest and at maximum clenching position by ultrasonography with masseter muscle hypertrophy in oral submucous fibrosis patient and control group, and also to establish the normal value of masseter muscle thickness ultrasonographically and to prove that ultrasonography is reliable diagnostic technique for the evaluation of masseter muscle hypertrophy in oral submucous fibrosis patient. 1 RGUHS - Compendium of Dental Publications 5.

Ashok L, Sujatha G P Central giant cell granuloma of left Ranjani Shetty posterior maxilla – A case report Abstract: CGCG is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts & multinucleated giant cells that occurs almost exclusively within the jaws. The clinical behavior of central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) of the jaws is variable; they are clinically classified as aggressive and non-aggressive, the most common site being the mandibular anteriors crossing the midline. Aggressive types of tumours are usually expansive and rapidly grow, causing pain, bleeding, and displaced and loose teeth. The management of CGCG can include conventional surgery with or without medical adjunctive treatment or resection in-bloc for the aggressive variant. Although the most common
