Abstract	The paper is concerned with oscillation of certain class of second-order nonlinear neutral delay dynamic equations on time scales. We will use a unified approach on time scales and employing the Riccati techniques to establish some new criteria for oscillation. The results represent further improvements on those given for the superlinear neutral dynamic equations and in the sublinear case the results are essentially new. An example is considered to illustrate the main results.
