Abstract

Background- Owing to high viral load in saliva, dental practitioners are not only susceptible forexposure during Covid-19 outbreak but also post pandemic era. During the period of evolving facts andrecommendations of WHO for maintaining precautions this study is an effort to understand the preparednessof dental practitioners to resume their practice.Objectives- The objective of this study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of dentalpractitioners regarding the Covid-19 pandemic.Methods- This cross-sectional study was conducted among dental practitioners of India through an onlinequestionnaire-based survey to collect data. The questionnaire was divided into sections containing structuredmultiple-choice questions about the knowledge, attitude and practice of dental practitioners.Result- Upon analyzing 311 responses it has been observed that majority of dental practitioners wereaware of common symptoms of Covid-19 and about the modes of transmission of the disease. They possessadequate knowledge about use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) with 88.4 % suggesting to useit while performing aerosol generating procedure. Their awareness about a Covid-19 patient becomingnoninfectious is inadequate with only 10% reporting 30 days. Attitude and practice of dental practitionersregarding Covid-19 were stratified on the basis of years of practice.Conclusions -Dental practitioners possess adequate knowledge about standard precaution protocol althoughthey are less aware about transmission-based precaution specific to Covid-19 situation. This study attempts tohighlight some facts about Covid-19 which will enlighten the dental practitioners before resuming practice.

Abstract

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare tumor comprising about 2.2% to 7.1% of all odontogenictumors. It is a neoplasm of odontogenic origin having slow-growth rate, noninvasive and benign in nature.Here, we report a case of a young female patient who presented with an aggressive AOT in maxilla involvingthe impacted third molar. Usually, the treatment for AOT comprises of enucleation and curettage, whereasdue to the fast growth rate and aggressiveness of the lesion, subtotal maxillectomy was performed in thiscase. The authors have described about the clinical, radiographic, histopathological and surgical aspect ofthe case.

Abstract

An ocular prosthesis is a replacement of the ocular part of the eye in patients due to trauma, benign ormalignant lesion or congenital anomaly, there is the loss of the eye. Prosthetic rehabilitation with a customizedocular prosthesis that is proportioned and similar in appearance to that of the contralateral natural eye isneeded. This maintains the volume of the orbital socket and also helps create an illusion of the presence ofa healthy eye. It provides the individual confidence to adapt to a normal lifestyle and prevent them fromgoing into psychological distress. Various techniques have been advocated for the fabrication of the ocularprosthesis comprising the use of the stock prosthesis, custom made prosthesis and micro-implants for therehabilitation of the ocular part of the eye. A cosmetically approvable and pleasing ocular prosthesis arethose which reproduces the colour, appearance and orientation of the iris to that of the contralateral naturaleye. This clinical report describes a simple, economical and time-saving method for the fabrication of thecustomised ocular prosthesis in a patient with the ocular defect.

Abstract

Bimaxillary protrusion is one of the commonly seen skeletal deformity in Indian population. This skeletalcondition is typically characterized by proclined and protruding anterior teeth with everted lips. If thiscondition is associated with macroglossia or any parafunctional habits like tongue thrusting or thumbsucking, an anterior open bite is often found. Minor discrepancies can be managed by orthodontic treatmentalone by extracting all first premolars and retracting the anterior segment. But in severe skeletal cases,orthognathic surgery along with pre-and post-surgical orthodontics is the best option to get the ideal result.This article describes the case of a female patient with bimaxillary protrusion. The patient had a convexprofile, anterior open bite, and incompetent lips. Chin had a relative deficiency with hyperactive mentalismuscle. On patients’ consent and willingness for a shorter course of the treatment period, surgery firstapproach was planned. Within seven months of the total treatment period, a remarkable change in facialprofile and a pleasing anterior occlusion was achieved.

Abstract

Aim. The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the dimensional accuracies of five brands ofextended pour irreversible hydrocolloid materials for fixed dental prosthesis impression.Materials and methods. Impressions of a master stainless steel model were made with five extended pourirreversible hydrocolloids and one addition silicone impression material. A total of ninety impressions(n=90) were made, with fifteen for each group of impression material. The stone dies retrieved fromthese impressions were analysed with Baty-Vision Systems - Venture 3D CNC machine, for dimensionalaccuracies. Comparison of continuous data between two groups was done with the Wilcoxon rank-sum test(Mann Whitney U test) and for more than two groups with the Kruskal Wallis test (? = .05)Results. All six impression materials showed some amount of error. On comparison of the median totalabsolute deviation of the various dimension of stone dies, the accuracies of impression materials in decreasingorder appeared to be Neocolloid >> Affinis >> Coltoprint >> Zelgan >> 3M ESPE >> Plastalgin. On thecontrary, a comparison of the impression materials, in terms of several dimensions of stone dies differingsignificantly from the stainless-steel model, the sequence in terms of accuracy was, Coltoprint > Affinis >3MESPE > Neocolloid > Plastalgin > Zelgan.Conclusions. Based on the dimensional accuracies of the stone dies retrieved from the impressions,Neocolloid was found to be the best impression material with the least possible deviation, followed byColtoprint and Affinis.
