HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PRODUCT
QR CODING OF LIP PRINTS aims in proving the application of lip print as a biometric tool by creating a unique visual QR CODE for each individual lip print.
This innovative coding system of lip prints aims in conversion of lip prints into visual OR code.
The demographic data such as Name. Age and Sex of the individuals will be documented along with lip prints traced.
This innovative QR coding of lip prints can be applied in creating a lip print database just like fingerprint and facial profile data base.
This novel QR coding system of lip prints can serve as one of the personal identification tools in the field of Forensic Odontology.

It can keep the sample cool for over 3 hours and eliminates the need for an ice bucket and the mess it causes.
Tubes remain sterile and dry by eliminating contact with ice and water
Well organized and keeps the tube upright
It makes possible for storage of single samples
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PRODUCT
This calibrated tissue forceps can be used during incisional oral biopsy for accurate depth of the tissue taken for histopathological diagnosis.
It helps to avoid the insufficient tissue sample and non-specific diagnosis.
Improves the ease of biopsy procedure
It will very helpful in oral incisional biopsies (oral premalignant lesions, vesiculobullous lesions and ulceroproliferative growth) to obtain adequate sample and avoid further biopsy procedures.
This invention has the markings up to 10mm.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PRODUCT
This novel drug combination containing Lycopene and Vitamin E will have a synergistic effect against oral potentially malignant disorders
In order to reduce risk of systemic toxicity and to overcome the problems of the conventional dosage forms, the use of several topical agent has been tested but with limited success
Newer research in drug delivery systems directed towards an amalgamation of several technologies, leading to the development of in-situ oral gels, which extend the contact time and slows down the removal of the drug
This in-situ gel will reduce the severity of the lesion and may help in preventing the further progression of the lesion
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PRODUCT
Bite block will help the patient to keep his /her tongue in the resting position and will push the tongue towards the hard palatal side.
It will be useful in taking panoramic radiograph for an elderly patient, and patients with a physical or mental disability.
