Patient Management and Clinical Examination Overview
The management of any patient involves history-taking, clinical examination, investigations, provisional diagnosis, and treatment planning. Patient history components include biographic data, chief complaint, history of chief complaint, past dental and medical history. Clinical practice examination includes inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. Inspection involves visual examination for signs like color changes, asymmetry, growths, ulcers, and scars. Palpation assesses texture, dimension, consistency, temperature, and functional events. Percussion is the technique of striking tissues to observe sounds. Auscultation involves listening to internal body sounds. Clinical examination involves extraoral and intraoral evaluations.

Presentation Transcript
Comparison with DNA The chemical structure of RNA is very similar to that of DNA, but differs in three primary ways: Unlike double-stranded DNA, RNA is a single- stranded molecule in many of its biological roles and consists of a much shorter chain of nucleotides. However, RNA can, by complementary base pairing, form intrastrand (i.e., single-strand) double helixes, as in tRNA.
While the sugar-phosphate "backbone" of DNA contains deoxyribose, RNA contains ribose instead. Ribose has a hydroxyl group attached to the pentose ring in the 2' position, whereas deoxyribose does not. The hydroxyl groups in the ribose backbone make RNA less stable than DNA because it is more prone to hydrolysis. The complementary base to adenine in DNA is thymine, whereas in RNA, it is uracil, which is an unmethylated form of thymine.
