Glass ionomer cement has been the subject of extensive research over the last few decades. Refinementswere made to the composition of GICs in an attempt to formulate an ideal restorative material (RM) havingstrength, adherence, natural appearance, and anticariogenicity. Contrary to early glass ionomers, the newrestorative systems are easy and practical to use. The emergence of GIC as a ‘material of choice’ for variousapplications in dentistry is mainly due to its fluoride-releasing and chemical bonding properties. This articlethrows light on the evolution and the course of recent advancements of Glass ionomer cement.

Local anaesthesia in dentistry has been used in dentistry for more than a century ago. The emergence ofgiving local anaesthesia through nerve blockade marked a new era of patient comfort while permitting moreextensive and invasive procedure in dental practice. Though ages effective LA is the most important pillarupon which systems have been developed that utilizes computer technology in the LA administration. Thecore mechanics behind the Computerised controlled local anaesthesia Device (CCLAD) is a microprocessorthat controls delivery of LA solution at constant pressure and controlled volume while monitoringthe variation in the tissue resistance. This fine high suffusion flow rate of LA provides a rapid onset ofanaesthesia in most dental patients. Although local anaesthesia in injection form remains the backbone ofpain control in dentistry, researches are being made in constant search of new & better management of pain.These researches are focused on the advancement of local anaesthetic agent delivery devices and techniquesinvolved in both pharmacological and non-pharmacological form. Paradoxically the injection of LA seemsto be the greatest source of patients fear and inability to control pain remains a significant concern to thedental practitioner. This review article will aim towards the products, device and techniques available tillnow which will make dentistry more patient-friendly and non-invasive.

Salivary glands are tubulo-acinar exocrine organs responsible for the formation and secretion of the saliva.Salivary gland inflammation is known as sialadenitis which can originate from various non-infectiousand infectious causes. Although several other viruses also can involve the salivary glands which includeChoriomeningitis, Coxsackie A. ECHO. Cytomegalovirus (in neonatal) and parainfluenza, mumps is themost common viralinfection. Most bacterial-infections arise due to ductal obstruction or decreased salivaryflow which allows the retrograde spread of bacteria through the salivary ductal system. Viral infections,bacterial infections, allergic reactions, and systemic diseases are the major causes ofsialadenitis and it maybe acute or chronic. The etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions are discussed.

The most common problems associated with tooth pain were endoperio lesions. It was very difficult todiagnose endoperio lesions by clinical or simply intra oral peri-apical radiograph. 50 % of tooth mortalityrates are responsible for the endoperio lesion, the correct diagnosis was needed for appropriate treatmentplanning. This paper review the current diagnostic tools and treatment planning of endoperio lesion toachieve the best outcome.

The oral cavity is a complex area to handle with about thirty-two teeth, highly vascular tongue, oral mucosa,and gingival. It becomes challenging for the clinician to handle a single tooth in focus with patients movementof vascular tongue and especially in very apprehensive subjects. Hence rubber dam has proved to be a boonnot only protecting the tongue, mucosa, and gingiva but also increasing the point of focus for the clinician.Secondly, it reduces infected aerosol procedures thus protecting the clinician and the attendee. Sometimesrarely patients do have allergies to latex or rubber dam and they are not aware. Hence the clinician mustask for leading questions to rule out latex allergy. If the subject does have a latex allergy modifications arerequired before the treatment.

In most of the cases of space infections are secondary to an odontogenic infection. In space infection,spread occurs through the fascial plane because of the degradation of connective tissue by action of differentenzymes produced by microorganisms. Different factors like age, nutritional status of the host, host defense,virulence of the microorganism play an important role in the spread of the infection. Sometimes it may takethe fetal course if not treated on time because of its local and systemic complications. It should be treatedas an emergency condition to prevent its rapid progression leading to fatal outcome. Here the case reportdescribes an old lady suffering from fascial space infection and treated by incision and drainage. Incompleteremoval of any odontogenic infection may cause the recurrence of the infection or infection that may spreadto fascial spaces.

Management of trauma has progressed dramatically over the past few decades thereby reducing mortalityin the golden hour. Challenges exist, however, one such region is maxillofacial injury in a patient withpolytrauma. Because of the regions close to the brain, cervical spine and airway, serious injuries to themaxillofacial area may complicate the early treatment of a trauma patient. In case of maxillofacial injuries, thenormal procedures of airway respiration and circulation (ABC) management are also changed or augmentedby other approaches. In an often-challenging situation these modifications have their own difficulties andpitfalls.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to: (1) assess the knowledge and awareness of diabetic patientsof their risk for systemic and oral diseases as complications associated with diabetes, (2) to assess theirattitudes toward sustaining good oral health through proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, and(3) to the extent that they are aware, to determine how they became aware.Method: One hundred self-administered questionnaires were distributed to assess the main objectives of thestudy. Only completed questionnaires were used in the current study data analysis.Results: A majority of the participants suffering from Type 2 diabetes (58%). The awareness of diabeticpatients of their increased risk for oral diseases was not upto the benchmark point . Their attitude towardsgood oral hygiene status was not desired. Likewise, 43% brushed their teeth once daily and 49% never useddental floss. Regarding participants’ sources of awareness towards to dentist about diabetics is 50%.Conclusions: Diabetic patients are found to have little knowledge of their increased risk for oral diseases.Inorder to promote proper oral health and to reduce the risk of oral diseases, health professionals in boththedental and medical fields need to take the responsibility to develop programs to educate the public abouttheoral manifestations of diabetes and its complications on oral health.
