Background: Improvements of the substantivity of antibacterial agents in periodontal pockets during active therapy is still a challenge. With this study, the release kinetics of PVP-iodine by simply creating mixtures of a PVP-iodine solution and powder incorporated in different concentrations into a commercially available wound paste was investigated. It was postulated that this approach could result in an extended iodine release of at least one hour resulting in adequate antibacterial concentrations.
Methods: Iodine concentrations released by different formulations were determined by a titration method and the antibacterial effect was investigated using an agar diffusion method assessing the inhibition zone of two representative periopathogenic bacteria (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis).
Results: A prolonged release kinetic with up to one third of iodine released after one hour and even an ongoing release up to 4 hours was shown. The cumulative concentrations in the immersion solutions were sufficiently high to effectively inhibit bacterial growth in the agar test. The pH of the different mixtures was adequately buffered when tested in SBF as immersion medium, but resulted in acidic conditions when water was used.
Conclusions: Simple mixing of PVP-powder to an available wound paste may offer an easy method to prepare antibacterial products in-office with a potential pocket disinfection duration during the scaling and root planning appointment. Nevertheless, its therapeutic usefulness under clinical conditions needs further investigation and potential side-effects require clarification.

Background: Oral Candidosis is common opportunistic infection of the oral cavity caused by overgrowth of Candida species, the commonest being Candida albicans. Increasing resistance and side effects of the antifungal drugs used in therapy of candidosis have given way to the use of natural products. Pomegranate and Henna have been found to be very effective in the treatment of Candidosis.
Aim of study: This study evaluates the antifungal activities of pomegranate peel extract (rind), pomegranate seed extract (Punica granatum) and Henna leaves (Lawsonia inermis) against different strains of Candida albicans.
Materials and methods: Both aqueous and ethanolic extracts of pomegranate peel, seeds and henna leaves were prepared. Anticandidal activity was determined and minimum zones of inhibitions (in mm) shown by extracts of all the three plants were measured and compared.
Results: Henna leaves showed the maximum zone of inhibition (mean 20 mm) followed by pomegranate peels (mean 13.3 mm) and seeds (mean 3.75mm). Also, aqueous extracts of henna and pomegranate showed higher antifungal activity as compared to their corresponding ethanolic extracts.
Conclusion: Use of medicinal plants against candida can be a viable alternative to other antifungal agents as they offer a cheap and effective module used in control of oral infections caused by Candida species.

Objectives: Aggressive periodontitis is characterized rapid and severe destruction of the tooth supporting tissues with a complex and unclear etiopathogenesis. The present study was designed to identify the role of herpesviruses in pathogenesis of aggressive periodontitis.
Material and methods: Study included 15 subjects diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis (group A) and 15 periodontally healthy subjects (group B). Subgingival plaque was collected from the deepest periodontal pocket and gingival tissue biopsy from the adjacent interdental papilla. Results analyzed by polymerase chain reaction.
Results: EBV detected in 67% plaque and 73% tissue samples in group A, 7% plaque and none in the tissue samples in group B. HCMV identified in 53% plaque and 20% of tissue samples in group A, 20% plaque and 7% tissue samples in group B. HSV-1 found in 47% plaque and 13% tissue samples in group A, 13% plaque and 47% tissue samples in group B.
Conclusion: An increased prevalence of EBV, HCMV and HSV-1 in group A in comparison to healthy controls was observed. Only EBV showed significant difference between both groups. Despite similarity in pathogenic traits between herpesvirus diseases and Periodontitis, delineating the exact role that viruses play in the etiopathogenesis of aggressive periodontitis is difficult.

A New Technique for Jaw Thrust in Unconscious Craniofacial Trauma Patients
Verma, Gaurav
Senior Lecturer,
Himachal Institute of Dental Sciences,
Paonta Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, India.
The loss of consciousness is one of the commonly encountered emergency situations in maxillofacial trauma patients. Apart from benign syncope, there are other causes for unconsciousness. Majority of these patients have intact respiratory muscle activity, but the airway patency is compromised due to airway obstruction by tongue fall back. Traditionally head tilt-chin lift and jaw thrust techniques were employed to maintain patency of the airway. Head tilt-chin lift technique involves tilting the head backward and thus is dangerous in case of suspected cervical spine injury in trauma cases. Jaw thrust is an efficient method and can be performed in cervical spine injury cases. But it requires continuous forward pull on mandible till the time patient regains consciousness; which is physically strenuous for rescuer. The purpose of this article is to present a new technique for jaw thrust which is based on similar principle of traditional jaw thrust. The advantage is that, jaw thrust can be maintained for an extended time period in these patients.

Dental Caries is a multifactorial disease where in the interplay of protective and destructive factors causes caries. The twin population is an excellent sample to study the genetic influence on the host factors responsible for caries .The caries experience in twin children is considered to be similar because of similar genetic and environmental predisposition .This study was conducted to analyze the influence of genetic control on caries experience in ten pair of twin children by analyzing the salivary parameters like flow rate , pH, viscosity and buffering capacity and by correlating it to their DMFT,def scores. The results showed no significant statistical difference in the caries experience and the salivary parameters among the twin children that were evaluated .Hence the similar caries experience in twin children can be attributed to their similar genetic and environmental factors.

Clinical Importance of Jaw Elevation during Conscious Sedation in Pediatric Patients
Verma, Gaurav
Senior Lecturer,
Himachal Institute of Dental Sciences,
Paonta Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, India.
Pediatric patients differ from adult in behavioral aspects. The reason for this is that, they are in developing stage and may not have the ability to understand the things similar to adults. Therefore, to perform surgical procedures in pediatric patients some form of behavioral modification techniques along with pharmacological measures may be required. Conscious sedation is one of the commonly employed techniques in this regard. Respiratory depression or arrest is a life threatening complication which may occur during conscious sedation. The purpose of this note is to draw attention of anesthesiologist toward importance of jaw elevation during conscious sedation in pediatric patients and to initiate future studies to evaluate the efficacy of newer jaw elevation device in achieving this goal.

Rao, Nirmala N
Radhakrishna, Raghu
Background: Oral Pathologists often come across fibro-osseous lesions involving the jaws with intersecting clinico-pathologic features which makes their diagnosis challenging. Due to the difference in their pathogenesis, the treatment varies and so does the prognosis which makes differentiation essential.
Objectives: This study intended to evaluate the stromal components of fibrous dysplasias, central and juvenile ossifying fibromas affecting the jaw bones using histochemical stains and to determine the histological parameters important for their differentiation.
Methods: Three sections each of forty-seven formalin-fixed decalcified paraffin-embedded tissues were stained with three special stains (Modified Tetrachrome, Modified Attwood’s and Potassium-monopersulfate aldehyde fuschin stain) and analysed for morphology and structure of calcifications, osteoblastic rimming, cellularity and vascularity of the stroma, collagen pattern and oxytalan fibers.
Results: Despite the overlap in the histopathological features, few parameters were more pertinent to one lesion than the others. Fibrous dysplasia cases had characteristic thin curvilinear calcifications which were discontinuous whereas central and juvenile ossifying fibromas had broader calcifications which were interconnected. The structure of calcifications was mostly woven in fibrous dysplasia but few longstanding cases did show lamellar bone. The cellularity and vascularity was considerably higher in ossifying fibromas than fibrous dysplasia. Oxytalan fibers were more evident in cases of ossifying fibromas.
Conclusion: Histopathological analysis alone may not suffice for the diagnosis of fibro-osseous lesions due to the apparent similarity, thus stressing on the importance of radiologic and genetic analysis in the diagnosis of fibro-osseous lesions.

Regenerative endodontic procedures have brought novelty in the arena of dentistry. Stem cell research has paved its way into conserving and utilizing the multipotent stem cells for tissue growth. One such procedure is revascularization which utilizes the apical stem cells for root lengthening and reinforcement in traumatized tooth with an open apex. The present clinical case report has shown that revascularization results in successful root lengthening and apical closure in lesser appointments than conventional specification procedure without weakening the dentinal walls.

Background: Residual ridge reduction is one of the main causes of loss of stability and retention of mandibular complete dentures. The severity of bone loss is very important clinical condition facing the aging population.
Objectives: To investigate the association of the mandibular ridge reduction with duration of complete denture wearing in relation to age and gender is using digital panoramic radiography.
Methods: Seventy-five (40 men and 35 women) with a mean age 66.21±10.21 years, denture-wearing patients were included in this study. Resorption in the mandibular residual ridges was assessed by using the mental foramen and the inferior border of the mandible, as they appear in digital panoramic radiographs, using Wical and Swoope Analysis method. Measurements were performed digitally using Sidexis next Generation software. The amount of resorption was calculated and correlated to gender, age and duration of denture wearing. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (V17.0). Level of significance was set at 0.05.
Results: The mean ridge resorption was 7.74±5.80 mm (20%), Women significantly (P<0.05).recoded more resorption than men (women: men ratio was 3:2). Men significantly (P<0.0001) had greater mandibular ridge and mental foramen heights than women. Ridge resorption significantly increased with increasing age (P<0.0001) and duration of denture wearing (P<0.001). Women significantly (P<0.05) had greater ridge resorption than men below 50 and above 80 years old; and in all denture wearing duration groups.
Conclusion: Reduced mandibular height is directly related to age and duration of complete denture wearing. Women are at more risk to have ridge resorption compared to men.
Keywords: Complete denture, mandible, mental foramen, panoramic radiography, residual ridge resorption.

Paresthesia or dysesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) as the result of endodontic treatment or periodontal disease is a rare but serious occurrence. This paper describes two cases of paresthesia and dysesthesia of the IAN due to acute apical periodontitis of a right mandibular second molar and a right mandibular second premolar in proximity to inferior alveolar canal. Symptoms of sensory disruption disappeared approximately 2 months after conventional endodontic treatment associated with antibiotic therapy. One year later both teeth were still asymptomatic.
Keywords: Endodontic Pain, Inferior Alveolar Nerve, Injuries, Paresthesia.

The treatment of temporomandibular joint ankylosis poses a significant challenge because of the high incidence of recurrence .The only treatment option for TMJ ankylosis is surgical with or without condylar reconstruction. Various grafts are available for condylar reconstruction after removing the ankylotic mass such as costochondral, sternoclavicular, posterior border of mandibular ramus, fibular, coronoid process, and metatarsophalangeal, alloplastic graft like hydroxyappatite collagen and recently condylar distraction osteogenesis. To date, there is no ideal autogenous graft for condylar reconstruction that satisfies the complex anatomy and the myriad of functions of a missing condyle. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of using the various autogeneous and alloplastic graft and condylar distraction osteogenesis for reconstruction of mandibular condyle.
Keywords: TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint); CCG (Costochondral Graft); SCG (Sternoclavicular Graft); DO (Distraction Osteogenesis).

Evaluation of lateral throat form-an in vivo study
Rastogi, Isha
Mayo institute of medical sciences
Introduction: Lateral throat form is an area situated at the distal end of the alveololingual sulcus. Its synonyms are distolingual vestibule and retromylohyoid fossa. The extension of denture into this area can resist horizontal forces, increase border sealing, prevent the tongue from returning to its polished surface, act as a displacing lever on the denture border and contribute to neuromuscular control.
Purpose: To evaluate the relative proportion of the lateral throat forms in 74 patients aged between 18-45 years from Lucknow(Eastern UP).A designed instrument was used to confirm LTF.
Method: LTF was intraorally evaluated by finger method and instrument.Then the mandibular impressions were made and casts obtained for measurements in this study.
Results: The data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis.It was seen that majority of the lateral throat forms among the patients were class I, followed by class II and class III were rare.Extension of denture border in the distolingual region (vertically and horizontally) was found to be more in class I lateral throat form compared to class II and least for class III.Significant differences were observed between the vertical dimension in patients’ mouth to that of their diagnostic casts.Vertical and horizontal dimensions correspond to each other.The lateral throat form needs to be measured, to select proper stock tray for primary impression.The custom tray has to be adjusted and extended properly to record lateral throat form with more accuracy.
Conclusion: It is concluded that lateral throat form has to be properly recorded for mandibular denture stability and for its successful fabrication.
Keywords: Lateral Throat Form (LTF), Dentilingual Vestibule, Retromylohyoid Fossa, Alveolingual Sulcus, Lingual Border Anatomy.

Many patients feel anxious before dental treatment on the presumption that the procedure will cause them pain and discomfort. Among other procedures, oral surgery has been reported to induce highest level of anxiety. The surgical removal of mandibular third molars is one of the most commonly performed dent alveolar procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Individuals of lower socioeconomic status, with less education and lack of knowledge about the procedure are one major factor to preoperative anxiety. Provide preoperative information about the procedure significantly reduces patient anxiety. Several preoperative variables were recorded (during preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phases) and patient anxiety was assessed through the use of various questionnaires.

Aims and objective: To assess the prevalence of the developmental dental anomalies like disturbances in size, shape, structure, eruption pattern and number in a group of North Karnataka population and to assess the dental anomalies in patients with head and neck syndrome.
Method: A cross-sectional prospective survey was carried out at P.M.N.M Dental College and Hospital, Bagalkot, North Karnataka, India during the academic year, November 2011 to August 2013 to study the prevalence of various developmental dental anomalies of teeth in a population of 3000 patients aged between 10 to 30 years in both genders. Patients were screened clinically for the presence of dental anomalies with appropriate radiographs and dental casts.
Result: Of 3000 patients screened, 477 had developmental dental anomalies. Out of these, 254 were males and 223 were females. The most commonly found anomalies were impacted teeth, hypodontia, dental fluorosis, overretained, supernumerary teeth, talon’s cusp with the least being dentinogenesis imperfecta (none).
Conclusion: The significance of conducting such a study is, that if the dental anomalies are detected earlier, the consequences (like early pulp involvement in dens-in-dente, malocclusion) can be intervened and treated accordingly. This study hence provides an useful data regarding the prevalence of the most and the least common anomalies in North Karnataka region of India.

In recent years, the popularity of tooth colored restorative material has led to a rapid increase in the use of resins. This critical review paper is meant to be useful contribution to the recognition & understanding of problems related to the failures of composite restoration. This review categorizes the challenges as those related to the restorative materials, the dentist and the patients. In spite of the major improvements in both physical and mechanical characteristics following factors are still of major concern, such as improper case selection, isolation, wear resistance, cavity preparation, placement of composites, curing, finishing & polishing. Major problems associated with composites failures are polymerization shrinkage & contraction stress related to polymerization shrinkage, water sorption, solubility, discoloration of restoration (staining), elution of material from restoration, marginal failures, secondary caries, and fracture of the restoration, post-operative sensitivity, and micro-leakage.

Vaswani, Priya
Krishna Institute of medical sciences
Sanyal, Pronob
Prajapati, Ankur
Background: Speech is essential to human activity. Loss of teeth is usually accompanied by eventual loss of oral morphology responsible for articulation. Palatal rugae contour has an important role in phonetics by production of linguo-palatal sounds that involves the contact between tongue and palate.
Objectives: To analyze the improvement in linguo-palatal sounds by duplicating the existing rugae in maxillary complete denture prosthesis using two different impression materials in shallow, medium & deep palatal vault configuration.
Methods: Twenty four completely edentulous patients were selected that were categorized eight in each category of shallow, medium & deep palatal vaults. Existing rugae were duplicated using mucocompressive and mucostatic impression material, wax pattern obtained through these impressions were incorporated in maxillary dental prosthesis. Later speech was recorded and analyzed by a speech pathologist with an aid of speech rating scale over a period of eight weeks.
Results: Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon matched pair test showed statistical significance in speech improvement (p<0.05) when mucostatic impression derived rugae pattern was incorporated in upper arch prosthesis.
Conclusion: Using the presently described rugae duplication technique, speech improvement is rapid in case when mucostatic impression material was used.

The purpose of this study was to determine the patterns of occlusal contacts and location in intercuspal position of natural teeth.
A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample size of around seventy patients within a span of seven months, complete mouth impressions were made of each patient with hydrocolloid material and the impressions were poured in dental stone. The contact areas of the teeth in the maximum intercuspation position were determined by wax. Three distinct types of indentations were noted on the wax interocclusal record. Then similarly the centric occlusion contacts of the teeth on the cast were determined by interposing a new piece of wax, approximating the casts in the maximum intercuspation position by hand, and applying pressure. The oral and cast wax recordings were then compared. The occlusal relation for each individual tooth was then classified and recorded in a Performa.
Following wax interocclusal record of natural teeth in intercuspation an ideal occlusion was absent, a difference in morphology of anterior and posterior teeth was also evident that inevitably affects the nature of occlusal contacts.
The ideal occlusion was not found in any of the patient’s investigation.

Background: Dental caries is one of the most commonly encountered conditions in clinical dentistry and these lesions remain undetected when confined to the vicinity of inter-proximal surfaces. Radiography plays a key role in the detection of inter-proximal caries especially in tight contacts.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of E-speed film, complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) and storage phosphor systems (PSP) in the detection of proximal caries of the posterior teeth.
Methods: Conventional films, CMOS and PSP images were used in detecting proximal caries on mesial and distal surfaces of 63 teeth (126 surfaces). Interpretation of all digital and conventional radiographs were performed and reanalyzed by four observers. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis using chi square test, weighed kappa statistics and spearman rank correlation coefficient.
Results: The PSP images showed more accurate results in identifying normal tooth, enamel caries, dentinal caries and deep dental caries and kappa statistics had represented almost perfect reading of 0.8 – 0.9 for PSP images whereas CMOS images showed substantial reading of 0.6 – 0.7, and for IOPA images it showed moderate reading of 0.5 – 0.6, which stated that the higher inter-observer agreement was obtained for PSP images when compared with images taken by IOPA and CMOS. The intra-observer reliability by kappa statistics had shown highly significant value (0.82) in the present study.
Conclusion: Conventional films, CMOS and PSP images had shown almost appropriate results in the detection of proximal caries but PSP receptors were better in disclosing the details more accurately in terms of delineating the actual extent of the lesion pertaining to their high resolution capacity and further their flexibility made them easier during handling the radiograph, when compared with that of rigid CMOS receptors.

Background: Dental comparison is based on unique characteristics of the teeth (shape and outline, restorations, supernumerary teeth, impacted, fractured teeth etc.). Being the hardest structure in human body, teeth represent an ideal means of identification in situations of advanced decomposition, fire and mass disaster. Orthopantomogram is a broadly applied standard method in today’s practical dentistry and provides a complete view of the teeth and both jaws in one image.
AIM: The present study aimed to verify the diversity of dental patterns in Udaipur population based on specific patterns of missing, filled, unrestored (virgin) and impacted teeth using Orthopantomogram.
Material and Methods: 300 Dental Orthopantomogram were randomly selected from Pacific Dental College & Hospital, Udaipur and observed for the occurrence of dental patterns. The frequency of occurrence of dental patterns and the diversity in dental patterns were calculated for full dentition, maxilla and mandible.
Results: Occurrence of most common dental pattern was formed by 32 virgin teeth, 10.66%. the diversity of dental pattern for full dentition was 99.7%, maxilla was 99.5%, and mandible was 99.49%.
Conclusion: The diversity derived from dental patterns is a potentially valuable tool with broad applicability for human identification inspite of the mentioned drawbacks.

Pleomorphic Adenoma is a benign epithelial tumor arising from the salivary gland. It is a benign mixed tumor composed of epithelial and myoepithelial cells arranged with various morphological patterns, demarcated from surrounding tissues by fibrous capsule. In this article, we report an unusual case of 30 year, male with a single, nodular swelling evident in the upper lip which was discovered during a routine dental procedure. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) was planned for the patient, where a of cytological diagnosis of Pleomorphic Adenoma was rendered, which was confirmed by biopsy. Hence, this highlights, FNAC makes up an important diagnosing tool as the first line of investigation to distinguish between benign and malignant salivary gland neoplasms.

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions among children. Lack of proper Parental knowledge regarding feeding practices will have a deleterious effect on child oral health.
Objective: The purpose of the study was to assess the prevalence of ECC and parental knowledge regarding feeding practices in young children.
Methods: 500 preschool children aged between 36-60 months, were selected from twenty schools. The children’s were examined at the respective schools to determine the presence or absence of caries by using WHO criteria .A structured questionnaire was provided to 500 parents of the respective school children examined to assess their knowledge regarding feeding practices and oral hygiene measures in preschool children for prevention of ECC
Result: The results of the children examined and the parent surveyed were tabulated and statistically analyzed by using chi-square test. The result showed that the prevalence rate of ECC among 500 children surveyed were about 56.3%.The knowledge regarding the feeding practices and oral hygiene measures overall was found to be 56.5%
Conclusion: The prevalence of ECC was relatively high among the preschool children. The feeding practices and oral hygiene measures among parents was more off supporting the promotion of ECC. More emphasis should be given regarding introduction of oral hygiene practice from the first year of child’s life and also to conduct public awareness programme to achieve optimum oral health care in children.

For any treatment plan to succeed, two factors are paramount correct selection and application of pharmacologic agents and patient compliance. But what happens when both these are followed judiciously, but the medicine itself does not stay long enough to finish its action? Then we need something that will make the medicine stick literally. That is when bioadhesives have their say. Long-term adhesion of drugs to the oral mucosa is usually prevented by the continuous salivary flow and the mechanical movements of the tongue. Therefore, formulations acting as vehicle for local drug delivery to the oral mucosa need to have excellent mucoadhesive properties. The present article reviews mucoadhesive systems with various formulations that can be used in dentistry to improve local drug delivery.

Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition resulting in loss of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Nonsurgical therapy remains the cornerstone of periodontal treatment. For sustained plaque control it plays an important role in achieving successful long-term results for the care of Chronic Periodontitis subjects. Proper maintenance and patient hygiene plays a vital role in suppression of re-colonization of micro-organism. Many adjunctive treatment modalities along with mechanical debridement have been clinically used and investigated for their efficacy. Systemic antioxidants in conjunction with scaling and root planing can offer additional effects and can be used as an adjunctive treatment. Patients with periodontal disease display increased PMN number and activity, resulting in high degree of free radical release culminating in heightened oxidative damage to gingival tissues, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Damage mediated by free radicals can be mitigated by "antioxidant defense system ".Sea buckthorn oil is an omega-7 fatty acid antioxidant which has unique botanical and nutritional properties thereby benefiting mucous membrane by reducing inflammation, improving wound healing and showing excellent antibacterial property. In this research patients were prescribed systemic antioxidant after the phase 1 therapy ie scaling and root planing to observe its effects on the various clinical parameters.

The variety of terms used has contributed to a great amount of confusion that exists in this already complicated field of study. Lack of communication and coordination of research efforts often begins with differences in terminology. Therefore in an attempt to coordinate efforts, the American Dental Association began to use TMD to include all functional disturbances of the masticatory system. The article reviews the research work done by various authors pertaining to the disorders of the temporomandibular joint.

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a common benign gingival lesion in the oral cavity of unknown origin, believed to be stimulated by local irritation or chronic trauma. It is also known as giant cell epulis, giant cell reparative granuloma, or giant-cell hyperplasia, presenting as purplish-red soft tissue nodule clinically and histologically consisting of multinucleated giant cells in a background of mononuclear stromal cells and extravasated red blood cells. This case report describes a 40 year old male previously reported with peripheral giant cell granuloma 2 years back which on excision reoccurred after 3-4 months and persistently growing since then. The gingival lesion between his maxillary central incisors was excised and the Biopsy specimen sent in 10% formalin to histopathological lab and was diagnosed as PGCG. There was good healing of tissue of the surgical site during the 9 months follow-up.

Background: Dermatoglyphics has been used as a powerful tool in diagnosis of physiological, medical or genetic conditions. Hence its role in predicting the dental caries which is a multifactorial disease with genetic influence has to be investigated.
Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the role of dermatoglyphics in predicting the susceptibility of individuals to develop dental caries.
Material and methods: The study included 200 students of MMMC Manipal. Dental caries pattern was recorded using the DMFT index. The impression of thumb ridge pattern was recorded using duplicating inkpads.
Results: The male subjects showed maximum of loop pattern with 53.6% and 71% in right and left thumb respectively. The female subjects also showed the maximum of loop pattern with 54.2% both in right and left thumb. Subjects who had arch type of pattern on right thumb (66.7%) and left thumb (57.1%) were found to be caries free compared to loop and whorl pattern. Subjects with whorl pattern on the left thumb (34.2%) and right (34.9%) had DMFT > 3 compared to loop and arch.
Conclusion: Dermatoglyphics serve to strengthen the diagnostic impression of the disease from an early age and hence preventive oral health measures can be considered.

Radicular cyst as the most common odontogenic cyst usually arises from residual epithelial cells stimulated by inflammatory factors initiating by pulpal necrosis of a non-vital tooth. Radicular cyst is commonly asymptomatic, slow grower, and rarely invade near bony structures. Many treatment approaches are presented for a radicular cyst like surgical endodontic treatment, tooth extraction, enucleation, and marsupialization. In this case treatment plan compromised with root canal therapy and surgical enucleation of cystic lesion. This case report presents a large radicular cyst in a vital maxillary first molar with only one necrotic root canal secondary to direct pulp capping with mineral trioxide aggregate with buccal and palatal cortical bone perforation.

The purpose of the paper is to highlight the advantages of using the herbal tooth paste with that of conventional paste. The approach is to make use of naturally available herbs such as Akarkara (anacyclus pyrethrum), Neem (azadirachta indica), Babool (acacia arabica), Haldi (curcuma longa) etc to make herbal paste. These herbal mixture acts as antimicrobial agents. The clinical study is carried out with three parameters – Debris index, Calculus index and Gingival bleeding index. These parameters were compared over conventional paste. We have carried out studies with 100 people of different age groups ranging from 25 to 50 years covering both men and women. The statistical t-test is carried out between the unpaired two groups of herbal and non-herbal pastes. The results shows that the group – A (herbal) has significantly lower debris, calculus and gingival bleeding index value. The debris index and calculus index have p < 0.001, the oral hygiene index also has the p < 0.001, which is significant and the gingival bleeding index has the p < 0.05.
The conclusion is that the herbal Dantkanti toothpaste is more efficient in maintenance of oral hygiene and gum bleeding as compared to the non-herbal toothpaste.

Idiopathic fibrous hyperplasia is one of the most common lesions of all oral fibrous tumor like growths. It is a benign neoplasm and usually associated with local irritation. Its presence at unique location makes it even more interesting to study and understand. A 30-year-old systemically healthy male patient presented to the Department of Periodontics with the chief complaint of swelling in an unusual location on the hard palate. Clinically, the swelling was firm, solitary and pedunculated. Radiographs displayed no hard tissue involvement. Treatment comprised of combined approach using both electrosurgery and scalpel. Thus, it can be concluded that fibromas of the oral soft tissues include a diverse group of reactive and neoplastic conditions. Therefore, lot of expertise and knowledge is required for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.

Kaur, Pushappreet
Dental Officer, Guru Nanak Dev Dental Hospital
Hypodontia, microdontia and rotations are developmental dental anomalies resulting from genetic and epigenetic disturbances during tooth initiation, morphogenesis and eruption stages; with variable effects on function and dentofacial esthetics depending upon their severity. Hypodontia and microdontia may occur in syndromic or isolated non-syndromic forms based on presence or absence of congenital defects. This article briefly reviews hypodontia, microdontia and tooth rotation; and discusses a rare case presenting combination of these anomalies along with a possible treatment proposal.

Objective: In recent years, advances in technique as well as a growing public interest in developing and maintaining a healthy and attractive smile, has resulted in a greater understanding of the interrelationships between periodontics and orthodontics. The primary objective of periodontal therapy is to restore and maintain the health and integrity of the attachment apparatus of teeth. In adults, the loss of teeth or periodontal support can result in pathological teeth migration involving either a single tooth or a group of teeth. This may result in the development of a diastema, incisal proclination, rotation with collapse of the posterior occlusion.
Materials and methods: This case report is of a 32 year old female patient who reported with swollen gums, generalized spacing between the teeth and extruded upper anterior tooth. Periodontal therapy followed by fixed orthodontic therapy was planned.
Results: At the end of 2 years a stable healthy periodontium was established that was both functional and esthetic.
Conclusion: Adjunctive orthodontic therapy is often necessary for successful restoration of periodontal health. On the other hand, successful orthodontic treatment will depend on the periodontal preparation before and after treatment and the maintenance of periodontal health throughout all phases of mechano-therapy.

Effectiveness of a herbal mouthrinse on de novo plaque formation
R.S., Jippy
Coorg Institute of Dental Sciences
S.R., Ananda
Jain, Jithesh
Background: Herbal mouthrinses have been recently introduced with the objective of achieving effective plaque control. Till date, chlorhexidine has been a gold standard with regard to anti-plaque agents.
Objectives: To compare the effeciveness of the herbal mouthrinse (Hiora) against chlorhexidine mouthrinse.
Methods:The study is a randomized, double blind, crossover clinical study. At the baseline, the volunteers brush their teeth using toothpaste without any active ingredient for 2 minutes. Oral prophylaxis was performed to ensure that the teeth are free of plaque, stains and calculus. Each subject was randomly assigned to both the experimental groups. During the trials, the volunteers were rinsed their mouths, according to the assigned random sequence of treatments: Chlorhexidine as chemical and HiOra as herbal mouthrinse. Both the mouthrinses were packed in similar coloured bottles but labeled differently and randomly administered to the subjects by a blinded operator. Each subject received oral and written instructions on the use of mouth rinses. After one week, the study subjects were asked to suspend their oral hygiene for 24 hours, and accumulated plaque was re-evaluated with erythrosine. The plaque index was recorded in the six selected teeth at the end of the trial. After the trial period, the usual oral hygiene habits resumed.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences between herbal and chemical mouthrinses.
Conclusion: Herbal mouth rinses may be as effective as chlorhexidine as chemical anti-plaque agents with fewer side effects.

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) are the commonest salivary gland malignancies in Pakistan constituting almost 75% of all malignant salivary gland tumours.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the expression of galectin-3 (Gal-3) in AdCC and MEC of salivary glands and to see its relationship with histological differentiation in these tumours.
Method: This descriptive study was conducted at the Department of Morbid Anatomy and Histopathology/ Oral Pathology, University of Health Sciences Lahore, Pakistan. Biopsies and detailed clinical data of 20 cases each of adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma reported at local tertiary care hospitals from Jan. 2014 to Sep. 2015 were retrieved. The histologic diagnosis was made on Hematoxylin and Eosin staining. The tumours were graded into grades I, II & III according to the most recent grading criteria. AdCC was studied with respect to its morphological patterns (tubular, cribriform and solid) while MEC was studied with special concern to the cell types seen in it (mucous, intermediate, squamous and clear cells). Immunohistochemical expression of galectin-3 was determined in these tumours with respect to histological grades, patterns and cell types seen.
Results: Moderate positivity (55%) for anti-galectin-3 antibody was the most frequently observed score for galectin-3 in both MEC and AdCC. Moderate positive (55%) staining reaction was followed by weak positive (30%) staining reaction in AdCC. Total score for antigalectin-3 antibody, positive stromal reaction (intensity) and location of cellular signals for anti-galectin-3 antibody were all found to be significantly associated with grades of AdCC. Also, histological pattern of AdCC (tubular, cribriform and solid) were significantly associated with type of anti-galectin-3 staining pattern of cells (p<0.001). In MEC, moderate positive (55%) staining for anti-galectin-3 antibody was followed by strong positive reaction (30%). The total score for anti-galectin-3 antibody was significantly associated with grades of the tumour and lymph node status. Also, the type of staining reaction in cells was significantly associated with cell type (mucous, squamous and intermediate cells).
Conclusion: It can be concluded from the current study that expression of Gal-3 decreases with decreasing differentiation in parenchyma of malignant tumours while its expression in tumour extracellular environment increases with increasing grade of the tumour.Also, it can be concluded that nuclear expression of Gal-3 is associated tumour differentiation and cytoplasmic expression with tumour cell proliferation.

Traumatic ulcerative granulomas are self-limiting ulcero-proliferative lesions emaluating malignancy clinically, thus causing anxiety for the patient. The etiopathogenesis of these lesions are unclear though trauma is ascertained to be a cause. Riga-Fede disease is considered a variant of the same, manifesting in infants. A clinically varying case series of TUGSE and RFD is reported, and the differential diagnosis discussed here.

Assessment of oral health attitude & behaviour among dental student of Bhopal Madhya Pradesh: a comparative study
Agrawal, Riya
Peoples University bhopal m.p.
Introduction: Attitudes & behavior towards their own oral health affect their oral health habits and also have a possible influence for the improvement of the oral health of their patients and society.
Aim: To evaluate oral health attitude & behavior among a group of dental students of one of the dental colleges of M.P. & to compare a difference in oral health.
Material & Method: A descriptive cross study was carried out between 200 dental students of people dental academy Bhopal M.P. India. Subjects were divided into 2 groups, i.e. group 1 pre-clinical group (first & second year) group 2 clinical group (third & fourth year). A self-administered questionnaire consisting of 13 questions on attitudes and practice towards oral health care.
Results: In the present study, 130 students were from preclinical group, and 70 students were from clinical group. Most of the students brush their teeth once daily for 2 min following roll technique of brushing before breakfast using only toothpaste as a cleaning aid. All students from clinical years routinely examined their oral cavity while most of the students visited the dentist only when required. Majority of students considered oral health as important as general health and believed that oral health affects the general health. Students were also aware of the harmful effects of tobacco while only few of them were indulged in them.
Conclusion: With increasing years of the study, some aspects of dental student's oral health attitude and behavior improved but this improvement was limited. Thus, the students should be motivated to become an example of oral health in the society, for which few steps to motivate them toward better oral health are proposed.

Background: The initial leveling and aligning phase of orthodontic treatment involve the use of nickel titanium wires. The nickel titanium wires exhibit unique properties like shape memory and superelasticity. In the beginning, conventional nitinol wires were used, which lacked the superelastic property. Nowadays, superelastic nickel titanium wires are being used commonly. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficiency of Superelastic NITi in the initial alignment of orthodontic treatment in comparison with conventional NiTi and multistranded stainless steel archwires by measuring the amount of decrowding and the time taken for decrowding.
Method: A systematic literature search was performed on Pubmed, Cochrane, Google scholar & Lilacs.
Result: Thirty four studies were identified by the search and ten studies satisfied the inclusion criteria and one study was excluded after abstract reading. Finally nine articles were included for quality assessment.
Conclusion: This systematic review concluded that there was no significant differences in the aligning efficiency of superelastic NiTi in comparison with conventional NiTi and multistranded stainless steel wires.

Aim: To simplify the complexity in design, modeling and analysis of Fixed Partial Dentures (FPD) and to evaluate the maximum stress and deformation developed using Finite-Element Method.
Materials and Methods: The specimen was created based on monoblock concept. The monoblock concept assumes that the total FPD unit, i.e., Abutment, pontic, connector and retainer together will act as a single unit. Monoblock castings do not differ from those made in segments and later welded as regard to the distribution of stresses. The Specimen of dimension 30 X 5 X 5mm were made of the three commonly used FPD materials such as feldspathic ceramics, Lithium di silicate and Zirconia. Rectangle shape was considered with notches at 1 X 450 as a close approximation of actual FPDs. The modeling was done using Solid Works 2012, and analysis was carried out using ANSYS Mechanical APDL R14.5. The maximum stress and deformations corresponding to various masticatory loads (100 N, 500 N, 600N, 800 N & 1000 N) were found out, and the results were compared with previous studies in FPD.
Results: The results revealed that the maximum principal stress and deformation are found at the centre of the pontic. Furthermore, it was found that for all masticatory loads, the maximum stress and deformation were encountered in Feldspathic ceramic and least for Zirconia.
Conclusion: A less complex model using the monoblock concept was developed to design and analyze FPD, so that the meshing complexities, computational time and cost can be reduced drastically. The results could well be considered as a benchmark in FPD-related studies.

Oral focal mucinosis (OFM) is a rare soft-tissue lesion of unknown etiology. Clinically it appears as asymptomatic round lesions and histologically, characterized by focal myxoid degeneration of connective tissue with presence of stellate shaped fibroblasts which were also evident in the present case. This case report stresses on the fact that diagnosis of OFM is almost impossible hence diagnosis should be confirmed by histopathological examination following incisional or excisional biopsy. Through this article we present a rare case of one such lesion on the gingiva and enumerate the most characteristic and myxomatous lesions. Thus though rare, OFM must be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue overgrowths in oral cavity. Here, we describe the clinical and histopathological  presentation and subsequent management of OFM in a female patient.

Mandibular condyle fracture is one of the most frequent injuries of the facial skeleton. The treatment ofmandibular condyle is either closed reduction or open reduction with internal fixation. The open reduction of mandibular condyle fractures has become more favorable and gaining popularity since various osteosynthesis materials and techniques were developed in the past few decades. These include fixation with Kirschner wires, intraosseous wiring, miniplates, and lag screw fixation. In response to a increased number of needs for improved treatment in this region, a variable morphological plates have been developed with specific designs to treat such fractures. We present a case series of use of new condylar trapezoidal plate (condylar fragment plate) in the treatment of mandibular condyle fractures.

Reddy, Mayur Nath
professor
K, Hemalatha
post graduate
Introduction: The Internet seems to provide a new opportunity to overcome problems of access and provide clinically appropriate information to practitioners. However, while use of the Internet for clinical information has grown substantially in recent years. Access to the Internet has been improving rapidly for all professional groups. Dental professionals in clinical practice have been increasing opportunities to obtain information for clinical decision-making from a variety of resources, including a growing availability through online technology.
Objectives:
1)Â Â Â Â Â To assess the frequency of utilizing online sources of information for practical guidance.
2)Â Â Â Â Â To assess the influence of online sources of information on practical guidance.
Materials and Methods: A Cross-sectional survey was carried out among 386 private dental practitioners in Bangalore city. A self-administered, structured questionnaire containing 16 items was used (including demographic details). Cronbach's α was found to be 0.87 for each item. Statistical analysis was done using chi-square test.
Results: 81.6% (n=315) of private dental practitioners use the Internet as their source of information for clinical practice. Only 18.4% (n=71) do not use, the main reason for not using internet is lack of time and it is too complicated to use. 44.8% (n=173) rated on online source as most influential and 45.6% (n=176) frequently using online source for guidance. Information was primarily sought on patient education, oral disease, updates on common disease, and diagnosis. Medline was the most frequently accessed source.
Conclusion: A relatively large proportion of dental practitioners uses information from online sources for practical guidance. The Internet could be a valuable medium for the information, provided, that its use is accompanied by training in the identiï¬cation, use, and application.Â

Habits- A contemporary review
D R, Deepak
Shankar, Manu
B Nair, Karthika
Although oral habits are being dealt by dentist especially by Pedodontist and orthodontist since long time, but till today this particular ab-normal/normal entity is not fully known. Time-to-Time various hypothesis & explanations have been given by various authors but none of it specifically delineate the habits those which are normal for a particular age group and others, which are deleterious to stomatognathic sys-tem. The main reason for this difficulty is that a habit may be a part of normal development, a symptom associated with deep-rooted Psycho-logical disturbance or a habit may be a result of abnormal facial growth. Though it is difficult to delineate it, but it is important to have dif-ferentiation of abnormal from normal because If normal development get disturbed unknowingly and at the same time If abnormal growth or underlying psychological cause let continue without interfering at proper time/age it will lead to long lasting effect on stomatognathic system its growth & development and psychological development of child.

Platelet-rich fibrin-a cost-effective, donor less and indigenous therapy for obtaining root coverage-a case report
Joshi, Bharat
Bhojia dental college baddi
Among the periodontal infections, gingival recession is a separate clinical entity which demands a permanent solution plan. Treatment therapies are based on either elimination (as in case of Miller’s class I/II recession) or increasing the width of keratinized gingiva for prevention of further progression (as in case of Miller’s class III/IV recession). From the centuries, graft surgeries like free gingival graft, lateral pedicle and Coronally advanced flaps have been successful in the  treatment of gingival recession. As every technique has its own merits and demerits, clinicians have tried to stress upon addition of certain adjuncts or biomaterials to ensure rapid healing and less post-operative discomfort. Platelet concentrates are an excellent biomaterials for increasing width of attached gingiva and enhancing wound healing. They are cost effective, do not require donor tissue for harvesting and contain variety of growth factors for initiating regeneration. In this paper, Platelet-rich fibrin a 2nd generation concentrates has been used as an adjunct to Coronally advanced flap with a purpose of increasing width of keratinized gingiva, obtaining complete root coverage and achieving gingival harmony.

Combining different treatment philosophies and techniques to reach the desired treatment goal using butterfly system-customizing orthodontic treatment
Lekhadia, Dhaval
Rajiv Gandhi University of Health sciences
This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of an 18-year-old male patient who presented with Straight profile; tongue thrust habit, proclined upper incisors, generalised spacing in upper and lower arches, Katz's class II premolar relation unilaterally, class II canine relation unilaterally with increased overjet and overbite. A butterfly system was used in the treatment combined with frictionless biomechanics in the initial stage of treatment followed by continuous arch mechanics in the later part of treatment. A tongued crib was used to stop the tongue thrust habit along with one elastic swallow exercise. Micro-implant anchorage was used unilaterally in the upper arch for retraction of the entire segment and correction of the unilateral class II canine and premolar relationship. To avoid a dished in profile, a non-extraction treatment was executed. Final corrections of distally tipped canines were achieved using conventional Begg’s  uprighting auxiliaries in the vertical slots of butterfly system in the finishing stage. The case was finished using bite settling elastics. Total treatment time was 1 year 2 months. Aesthetic and functional goals were achieved satisfactorily with proper selection of biomechanics.

A combination of orthopaedic and orthodontic tooth movements are required for expansion of palate to correct maxillary transverse discrepancy. Expansion of the palate can be achieved by three different treatment methods mainly Rapid maxillary expansion, slow maxillary expansion and surgically assisted maxillary expansion. Among the different methods rapid maxillary expansion brings about significant changes in the dental transverse measurements (Agarwal A, Mathur R International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry 2010). This article aims to review the various appliances used for maxillary expansion.

Background: The Triggering Receptor Expressed On Myeloid Cells-1(TREM-1) is a cell-surface receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily and found to be involved in the amplification of the inflammatory response to various microbial infections, including periodontal diseases.
Objectives: The present study was designed to examine gingivalcrevicular fluid(GCF) levels of soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1) levels in periodontal health and disease as well as evaluate the effect of scaling and/or root planing on the same.
Methods: Based on gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, and radiologic parameters (bone loss), 45 subjects were initially divided into three groups- Group, I (Periodontally healthy), Group II (Gingivitis) and Group III (Chronic Periodontitis).From each of the subjects, GCF sample was collected at baseline and scaling and/or root planing was instituted in group II and group III patients. GCF samples were subsequently collected at eight-week interval. Levels of sTREM-1 in collected GCF samples were estimated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: The lowest GCF levels of sTREM-1 were found in periodontal health (69.50±1.8pg/ml) followed by gingivitis (257.17±79pg/ml) and chronic periodontitis (3658.14±55pg/ml) in increasing order, suggesting that levels of sTREM-1 in crevicular fluid increased with the severity of periodontal disease. sTREM-1 levels decreased significantly from baseline to the end of 8 weeks following non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Conclusion: Increased GCF levels of sTREM-1 from periodontal health to disease strengthen its association with periodontal status.

Over the past decades, focused interest in drugs obtained from medicinal plants has markedly increased. Since times immemorial, tea has traditionally been the most popular and widely consumed beverages in the world obtained from the extracts of leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis by the process of oxidation. It is the oldest non-alcoholic beverage containing caffeine. Among the varieties of tea manufactured, green tea is considered of utmost significance since it exerts antimicrobial, anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-collagenase, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity and anti-hypertensive activities due to rich content of polyphenol, namely catechins, which prevent the pathogenesis of numerous disease processes and play a pivotal role as a scavenger of free radical generation. The present review discusses the botanical description, photo-chemical constituents and biological activity of green tea with clinical relevance in the various fields of medicine.

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in reality arises in response to various stimuli such as low- grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. The clinical diagnosis of such lesion can be quite challenging because of its close resemblance to certain malignancies like peripheral giant cell granuloma, kaposi’s sarcoma, non hodgkin’s lymphoma etc. for excisional biopsy, options available are conventional surgical excision, electrocautery or lasers. In this report, we seek to highlight the therapeutic advantages achieved with a soft tissue diode laser in the treatment of pyogenic granuloma.

Knowledge, attitude and practice of using antibiotics as self-medication among non-medical graduates
V, Asha
Yadav, Karthik D
Background: Antibiotic abuse is a major concern in the modern era of internet. The ease of availability of drugs, lack of time to visit a doctor, poverty, the lack of knowledge about antibiotics, the influence of relatives, friends and advertising media seems to be the major contributing factors for self-medication. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of antibiotics as self-medication among non-medical graduates.
Methodology: A validated, self-administered questionnaire on knowledge, attitude and practice was used to collect data from 400 non-medical graduates.
Results: Statistical analysis was done by Chi-square and Multiple response test. Results revealed that 163(68%) B.E and 95(59%) B.Com graduates were aware of antibiotics. Majority of graduates (>90%) in both the groups have the opinion that antibiotics are “Over the Counter†(OTC) drugs and that they have adverse effects.
Conclusion: Majority of B.E and B.Com graduates were aware of antibiotics, but not of their side effects. They had the misconception that antibiotics are “OTC†drugs. The most common reason for self-medication was the previous use of same medication.

Background: Tumor necrosis factor-α, one of the cytokines, is released in various chronic inflammatory diseases including periodontitis.
Aims: To estimate the level of Tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-α) in gingivitis and periodontitis patients
Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 75 patients were recruited by purposive sampling technique among the patients visiting the Department of Periodontology and Oral Implantology during the period one year from August 2014 to July 2015.
Material and methods: The recruited samples were divided into gingivitis and periodontitis groups based on clinical attachment level (CAL). A periodontitis subject was defined as having at least 4 sites with pocket depth (PD) >3mm and at least 4 sites with CAL>3 mm, while gingivitis group included the subjects having no CAL measurements greater than 3 mm with signs of inflammation. The TNF-α level was measured using the RayBio Human TNF-alpha ELISA (Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit.
Results: The Median TNF-α interquartile range (IQR) (minimum-maximum) in gingivitis and periodontitis was 58.37 (32.63 – 198.77) and 111.89 (39.27 – 215.0) pg/ml, respectively.
Conclusion: The level of TNF-α was found to be higher in periodontitis group compared to gingivitis group, although the result was not statistically significant.

Self-confidence level assessment in newly graduated students is very important to evaluate the undergraduate endodontic courses.
Objective: The aim of this study was to get information from internship dentists in Alfarabi dental college related to their confidence levels during root canal treatment procedures.
Methods: Anonymous survey forms were sent to 150 internship dentists in Alfarbi dental college. They were asked to indicate their self-confidence level by Lickert’s scoring system ranging between 1 and 5.
Results: Removal of broken instruments was determined as a procedure that was not experienced by 25.2% of the dentists. (44.6%) of dentists felt confident about taking radiographs during root canal treatment. 1.9 % of them reported as having very little confidence during retreatment. The irrigation was a procedure in which they felt very confident about (59.2%).
Conclusion: The non-practiced endodontic procedure was clearly related to levels of self confidence among internship dentists; this means; a lot of studies in dental school should be performed to determine the weakness points or gaps in undergraduate endodontic courses.

college of dental sciences
Piezosurgery is a relatively a new technique of bone surgery, that is recently gaining popularity in implantology, periodontics and oral surgery. Piezoelectric ultrasonic vibrations are utilized to perform precise and safe osteotomies. Becauseof its highly selective and accurate nature, with its cutting effect exclusively targeting hard tissue, its use may be extended to more complex oral surgical procedures, as well as to other interdisciplinary problems. It can be used for selective cutting of bone depending on bone mineralization, without damaging the adjacent soft tissue (e.g. vessels, nerves or mucosa), providing a clear visibility in the operating field, and cutting with sensitivity without the generation of heat. So this review discusses the equipment, mechanism of action biological effects on bone, indications, contraindications, advantages and disadvantages of this new technology.

Statement of the problem: restoring endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is one of the major treatments provided by a dentist. Glass fiber posts (GFP) showed good clinical performance during last few years.
Aim of the study; to assess and compare the clinical as well as the radiographic performance of different types of ceramic crown systems used in restoration of maxillary anterior teeth over a cemented GFP and composite resin core.
Materials and methods: 50 ETT with GFP were included in this study. These teeth were divided into four gropes (composite resin. Porcelain fused to metal (PFM), e. max and zirconia restorations). Both the clinical and radiographic assessments were done for the restoration at a period of one week, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after composite build up and crown's cementations. All data were registered and analyzed by SPSS program using percentages and Kaplan-Meyer analysis. Fisher’s exact test was used for categorical values while log-rank test was used for descriptive statistical analysis.
Results: the clinical assessment showed no changes in the one week, 3 and 6 months in the four groups. While during the 9 and 12 months, a movement of the crown margin under finger pressure was present in one case, loss or retention in 2 cases of zirconia, the periodontal status with violation of biological width was present in one case of PFM and finally the color changes were obvious in one case of PFM and 2 cases of composite restoration. All the restorations in the four groups had no radiographic changes in the one week and three-month assessments. While during six-month follow-up, a loosed of retention in one case of the zirconia crown was detected. At the 9 and 12 months, two cases showed recurrent caries at the cervical margin of the composite restoration, cases with periapical infection and other with loss of retention of the post were recorded in the PFM restoration.
Conclusion: e. Max and zirconia all ceramic crowns showed better clinical and radiographic performance than the PFM and composite restorations over 12 months recall.

Chinmay, Dave
K. M. Shah Dental College
Bhavnit, Vaghani
Kartik, Patel
Goje, Santosh
Shah, Purvesh
Modi, Bhumi
Introduction: Implants have gained popularity in orthodontics because they facilitate maximum anchorage with minimum patient    cooperation. However, some orthodontists avoid using implants because perception and experience of patients towards such anchorage systems is questionable and is not been fully reported.
Aim and objectives: To evaluate the patient’s perception and experience towards the treatment with anterior microimplants for intrusion of anterior teeth using questionnaire.
Materials and methods: After considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, Participants who are undergoing orthodontic treatment with anterior implants for the intrusion of the maxillary anterior teeth was selected for the study. Questionnaire which was validated from ten respondents and subject experts will be given to each participant and asked to fill it. After collection of filled questionnaire, all the data was subjected to statistical analysis.
Results: Most of the patients had enough confidence on their orthodontist and did not think to take a second opinion when an anterior implant was recommended. Majority of the patients were concerned to know regarding advantages and disadvantages of anterior       microimplant and inquired about the time for the placement of anterior microimplant. More patients were worried about how long the anterior microimplant will remain inserted in their mouth and had fear of local anesthesia. On loading of microimplant, most of the   patients felt pressure at the implant and few felt pain.
Conclusion: The procedure was pleasant and comfortable for large number of patients and they did not felt pain after placement of   anterior microimplant. Majority of the patients were satisfied with the treatment and would recommend it to other patients. Highest   number of patients got used to the anterior implant by day 7 followed by day 15. An average acceptable time period for the anterior   microimplant was 12 months. The overall perception and experience by the patients to the placement of anterior microimplant can be rated as expected and good.

Yadav, Karthik D
Myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare tumor of salivary glands, the most frequent site being the parotid gland. Myoepithelial carcinoma of the maxillary sinus has only been reported very few times. As the lesion is very rare in the maxillary sinus and due to the lack of specific guidelines for its treatment, its prognosis remains to be poor. We report a rare case of myoepithelial carcinoma in the maxillary sinus and discuss its diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.

David, Maria Priscilla
Swamy, Akanksha Anantha
Joseph, Sarojini
Muthaiah, Mallika
Background: Cleft lip and palate is the most common major congenital craniofacial abnormality noted, which is 1 in 700 births. Although inheritance may play a role, cleft lip and palate is considered to be of multifactorial etiology, including chemical exposures, radiation, maternal hypoxia, teratogenic drugs, nutritional deficiencies, especially folic acid and cervical vertebral anomalies.
Objective: To assess an association between cleft lip and palate and cervical vertebral anomalies.
Methodology: The lateral cephalographs of 74 cleft lip and palate patients aged 6- 20yr were traced for cervical spine from C1- C4 on an acetate paper. Cervical vertebral anomalies were recorded and categorized into posterior arch deficiencies and fusion or both.
Results: 12.16% of cleft lip and palate patients had cervical vertebral anomalies.
Conclusion: The association between cleft lip and palate and cervical vertebral anomalies indicates that cervical vertebral anomalies may be implicated in the etiology of cleft lip and palate. Cervical vertebral anomalies can predispose to further disorders and identification of such anomalies mandates referral to the concerned specialist for appropriate management.

Merza, Ahmed
alkarkh general hospital
Introduction: Central giant-cell is a benign lesion that predominantly involves the bone of the mandible and maxilla with a wide variation of its behavior. Surgery usually is the first choice in treatment of central giant cell granuloma.
Case Report: In this case report we present a 29 years-old female with well define swelling on left maxilla. Diagnosis through incisional biopsy showed a central giant cell granuloma. Surgery with curettage was our treatment option with a follow up( 2 years ), No recurrence was reported.
Discussion: Information on the maxillary central giant cell granuloma in published studies is insufficient. So here we present our case as unusual case presentation. Differential diagnosis of this case included osteosarcoma (parosteal type) since the tumor clinical presentation in periosteous tissue adjacent to the bone cortex and showed rapid growth. We chose the conventional surgical treatment by simple surgical curettage by mid-face degloving approach to avoid any facial scaring.

Aim:-To compare the opinion regarding usage of bisecting-angle technique and the paralleling techniques among BDS students, post graduate students, private practitioners in and around Bhimavaram town for intra oral imaging in dentistry.
Materials and methods: A detailed questionnaire composed of questions regarding technical parameters, exposure parameters, operator and patient comfort and image accuracy in diagnosis. Details of the study were explained to the participants preferred option to be marked according to the question mentioned in the questionnaire. Total 500 individuals participated in the present study, with 100 individuals in each group. Data was collected and entered in Microsoft Excel (2010) and statistically analysed using SPSS 20. Chi-square test was used to evaluate differences in the responses with P-value ≤ 0.05 were considered significant.
Results: Results showed that in technical parameters most of the people opted for bisecting angle technique with p value≤ 0.05 and found as significant. In aspect of exposure parameters, results are in favour of paralleling technique and p value is ≤ 0.05. In aspect of the operator and patient comfort there is an equal opinion most of them opted for bisecting angle technique and paralleling technique p value is significant. In aspect of image accuracy p value is significant for paralleling technique.
Conclusion: Great work should have to be done to alleviate the quality of radiographs and the understanding and perspective of dental graduates regarding dental and maxillo-facial radiology. The results of present study revealed though there is knowledge about the techniques, but lack of application decreases their ability to get more accurate diagnostic radiograph. Paralleling technique being the most accurate in image accuracy should be emphasized to practice and needed to be modified in conditions where it is not feasible to deal with.

Need for treatment in all skeletal class III cases – a dilemma? a case report
Mahajan, Monika
Himachal Pradesh government Dental College & HospitalShimla
Skeletal malocclusion affects dental and facial tissues. A complicating factor for diagnosis and treatment of skeletal class III malocclusion is its multifactorial etiology. Genetics play an important role in determining the facial morphology of an individual. Prediction of a skeletal class III based on morphology can play an important step in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This case report further supports the significant role of genetics in skeletal class III malocclusion. As seen in our case the skeletal class III if left untreated does not detiorate but rather shows a decrease in ANB ie in anterioposterior discrepancy. Hence the need for treatment should be analysed thoroughly in skeletal class III patients.

Prevalence of partial edentulism among young Saudi women of Qassim and their perception of early tooth loss
Almutairy, Amal
Qassim university
Mohan, Minu
Qassim university
Background: Edentulism and number of remaining teeth per capita are commonly used as main indicators of dental health status in national surveys.
Objectives: To determine the level of tooth loss and the most common arch affected, to find the out awareness level of replacement of missing teeth with different prosthetic types and to evaluate the correlation between educational level and tooth loss.
Subjects and methods: This was cross-sectional clinical examination, and questionnaire based study, examining the prosthetic status of young females and their level of awareness to replace missing teeth. Using the sample size calculator with the confidence interval of 95% and significance of p<0.05, the sample size was calculated to be 200. The inclusion criteria were female patients visiting Qassim Dental Clinics and primary health care centers, aged between 19-39 years. Data was processed and analyzed through SPSS.
Results: The incidences of partial edentulism were 62.5% and the highest level of missing teeth was found among young females who have college and postgraduate degree, which was 52.8%. The restored cases were only16% out of the affected cases. There was a lack of awareness 39.2% to restore missing teeth among study population. The most important cause of loss teeth among the studied population of young females of Qassim was caries 90.4%.
Conclusion: The study revealed that young females were concerned about their esthetics than other functions of the masticatory system. This can also be supported with the fact that missing mandible posterior teeth were found to be the most common amongst them. Present study showed that awareness level and motivation were significantly low to restore missing teeth. It also revealed that educational status was not the only predictor of health outcomes.

Due to their anatomical position, the surgical removal of impacted third molars results in oedema, pain, and trismus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of four different routes of administration of methylprednisolone on oedema, trismus and pain after lower third molar surgery. This randomized, perspective, and controlled study included 150 patients. The patients were randomly divided into five groups: Group A (control; no steroids), Group B (Submucosal injection), Group C (oral tablets), Group D (i.v. injection) and Group E (Intramuscular Injection). On days 2 and 7 following surgery, linear oedema was determined using facial landmarks, and maximal mouth opening was measured. Postoperative mouths opening and swelling were evaluated for each route of methylprednisolone administration and compared. The female (59%) to male (41%) ratio was 1.44; the mean age of the patients was 29.6 years. The level of significance was set at P < 0.01 for mouth opening and P < 0.05 for oedema. With regard to trismus, all four routes of administration demonstrated better efficacy in comparison to the control. While oral administration and i.v. injection of methylprednisolone achieved similar results, masseter injection provided better results in reducing oedema and trismus when compared with the control following lower third molar surgery.

The harmless imitator of OSCC: TUGSE - traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia
Pai, Anuradha
Yadav, Karthik D
T, Ramakrishna
B, Abhishek
Traumatic Ulcerative Granuloma with Stromal Eosinophillia is a rare, benign, self-limiting and asymptomatic lesion that shows a spontaneous regression. Its etiopathogenesis is an enigma, but trauma seems to play a role for the occurrence of this lesion. Clinically it manifests as an isolated long standing lesion predominantly located in the tongue, demonstrating raised & indurated margins and mimicking oral squamous-cell carcinoma. Microscopically it is characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate rich in eosinophils. Since these lesions show delayed healing, treatment becomes necessary, but in certain cases, healing occurs by excision of the ulcer alone during the biopsy.

Background: Papanicolaou stains, very reliable cytological staining in diagnosis of oral carcinoma. In routine practice, 95% ethanol is used to fix the slides while preparing for Pap smears. The problems associated with pap smear such as short of supply and storage of alcohol, wet fixing of slides and transporting them to the cytology centre if the Pap smears are prepared at a peripheral centre. If an alternative method of rehydrating the air-dried oral smears is known we can overcome these problems. Until the date only few studies regarding rehydration of oral smears as a substitute for wet fixation.
Aim: The aim of this study is to use honey as an alternative for rehydrating air dried oral smears.
Material and methods: This study was done over than 3 months. Two sets of oral smears wet and air dried ,Overall 40 smears were examined; The first set were fixed in 95% ethyl alcohol. The other set of smears were air dried and rehydrated with honey solution(2 parts honey and 1 part saline)Both the smears were stained with Pap stain, examined for preservation of cytomorphological features and evaluated by two experienced pathologists using the light microscope.
Results and analysis: This study revealed that immersion of air dried PAP smears in honey for 30 minutes is effectively same as wet smear which is routine method
Conclusion: Rehydration, followed by fixation of air-dried smears, is a simple, feasible, applicable and reliable fixation technique, which is comparable to the wet-fixed conventional technique, used for oral smears and can be applied for evaluation on a routine basis.

Estimation of inferior alveolar nerve proximitytothe root api-ces : A CBVI analysis
Pagare, Sandeep
Roy, Christine
Vahanwala, Sonal
Gavand, Kapil
Waghmare, Mandavi
Goyal, Saurabh
A sound knowledge of the relative three dimensional (3D) approximations to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) to the root apices of the mandibular premolars and molars and their significance to gender and age is imperative for any dental procedure. Utilization of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has facilitated increased accuracy, higher resolution, and scan time and dose reduction. Literature reveals that various procedures in endodontics and oral surgery may lead to IAN injury, a rare but serious treatment complication. It can result from over instrumentation, periapical surgery and over filling by root canal obturation materials. Surgical endodontic procedures require a thorough knowledge of anatomic structures that might be traumatized. What better view than CBCT, where it gives a thorough knowledge about the 3D position of the IAN, allowing 3D reconstruction in true 1:1 anatomic representation. Majority of IAN injury cases reported were in relation to the mandibular second molars hence before undertaking procedures with potential damage to the IAN, it is essential to know the location of the IAN with respect to the surrounding structures to avoid injury or harm. A study was undertaken with an aim to assess the distance between the apical tips of the mesial roots of the first, second molars and second premolars to the superior border of the IAN. The findings of which could be used to prevent injuries to the inferior alveolar nerve.

The dental pulp is the living tissue of the tooth and its vitality is essential for long-term tooth survival. The vitality or non-vitality of the pulp as well as the presence or absences of a radicular pathology determine the type of pulp therapy. The knowledge of the dentist is important in selecting and carrying out a proper complete treatment. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess general dental practitioner`s (GDP) knowledge of indication, methods and prognosis of vital pulp therapy (VPT) for young permanent teeth (YPT).
Method A total of 160 GDPs from dental clinics and offices in Kerman participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected using an initial questionnaire consisted of 15 items examining the knowledge and practice of indication, methods and prognosis of VPT for YPT among GDPs. The participants were asked to choose from the provided answers.
Result of 160 questionnaires 154 were used for final evaluation.The overall obtained average score of the total items of the questionnaire was 4.53 ± 3.56. There was not any significant correlation between the knowledge of indication, examination, diagnosis, patients selection, effective factors in success of treatment and gender, number of the years since graduation and the university where the degree was obtained for VPT among GDPs. While knowledge of selecting the right materials for pulp-capping was significantly correlated with the number of the years since graduation and the university where the degree was obtained.
Conclusion Although GDPs' level of knowledge in regard to VPT is not favorable, the time since graduation and place of education influenced the suitable material selection for pulp capping. Hence, GDPs, who perform pulp therapy , need to keep themselves updated with these procedures.

Objective: This study was designed to determine the prevalence and identify the causes of traumatized permanent incisors among Yemeni children.
Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on five hundreds Yemeni children, (250) boys and (250) girls with an age ranged from 8 -12 years. The sample was collected from pediatric dental clinics, College of Dentistry, University of Sciences & Technology, Sana'a, Yemen.
Results: In the total sample of 500 child, 36 traumatized cases with a prevalence of 7.2%. Regarding to the gender, the prevalence of traumatized cases was found in boys (9.6%) more than girls (4.8%) with a ratio of 2:1. Regarding to location of trauma, the maxillary central incisors were the highest traumatized cases (86.1%). Regarding to type of trauma, untreated dental fracture was the highest prevalence (58.3%) of all traumatized cases for both genders and excluded tooth was the lowest prevalence (2.8%). Regarding to cause of trauma, traumatized cases due to fall were the highest prevalence (58.3%) for both genders, then due to violence were (25%), and due to road traffic accident were the lowest prevalence (16.7%)
Conclusion: Based on the study results, the prevalence of traumatized permanent incisors was seen in 7.2% of Yemeni children and frequented in boys more than girls with a ratio 2:1. The maxillary central incisors were the most frequently affected teeth by trauma (86.1%) of permanent incisor teeth and fall (58.3%) was the main cause of traumatized cases.

Crouzon’s syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive malformations of the skull and facial region, premature cranial suture closure is the most common skull abnormality, optic disc edema and proptosis are among the most common ocular findings. It is a genetic disorder of gene FGFR-2 (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-2) in 95% of cases, and in 5% of cases, FGFR-3 (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-3) mutation occurs.
Once a suture becomes fused, growth perpendicular to that suture becomes restricted and the fused bones act as a single body structure. Compensatory growth occurs at the remaining open sutures to allow continued brain growth, resulting in abnormal bone growth and producing facial deformities.
In the new born child, some potential problems that may need to be addressed include respiratory difficulties, feeding problems, neurologic complications such as hydrocephalus and the potential risk of developmental delay.
We represent a literature review and a rare case of Crouzon’s Syndrome, who wanted facial correction to be done at the age of 24years. We planned two stage surgical procedure, for correction of facial deformity.

Background: The squamous odontogenic tumor is characterized as an extremely uncommon amiable neoplasm, beginning from the rests of Malassez, gingival surface epithelium or from remainders of the dental lamina. The squamous odontogenic tumor was first described by Pullon et al. (1975), since that time only 50 cases in the English-language literature in which the microscopic characteristics are frequently very well demonstrated. The characteristic radiographic appearance is that of a triangular shaped unilocular radiolucency associated with the roots of erupted teeth and has a predilection for the anterior maxilla and the posterior mandible.
Methods: We reported a case of squamous odontogenic tumor occurring in a 40-year-old female in the premolar are of mandible with common localization and appearance. The tumor underwent surgical excision for histopathological examination and confirming diagnosis, followed by total resection of the tumor and using demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft and collagen membrane to fill defect.
Results: Histological examination revealed a proliferation of mature stratified squamous epithelial islands in a dense fibrous connective stroma and the diagnosis of squamous odontogenic tumor was confirmed.
Conclusions: Although squamous odontogenic tumor is a rare tuomr which arise from the rest of Malassez, but it should be listed as a differential diagnosis and confirmed with histopathological examination, it should be treated first conservatively, but upon recurrence a more aggressive line of treatment is to be followed.
