Abstract

The utilization of forensic odontology services in India is not proportional with the volume of researchundergoing in this specialty. A lot of scientific knowledge is generated in this field, but recommendationson how to translate this knowledge into real world for the benefit of stake holders are lacking. This articlepresents some of the key areas where forensic odontology can be of significant help, highlighting the presentscenario and hurdles associated with them along with recommendations for better utilization of forensicodontology services. A special act for the regulation of activities of a forensic odontologist would expeditethe mainstreaming of forensic odontology. A credentialing body modeled on the functioning of variousinternational organizations needs to be constituted in India.

Abstract

The key role to maintain equilibrium between microbial challenge and host response is played by nutrition,which is also important in various chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes & rheumatoidarthritis. An individual’s baseline inflammatory position is influenced by macronutrients & micronutrientswhich modulate pro inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cascades. The aim of this review is to give aninsight on mechanism of action of various macronutrients, micronutrients and some of the trace elementswith their positive effects in resolution of various chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular, cancerand periodontal diseases. Thus dietary changes can be associated with genetic composition, this in turn maybe due to changes in individual response. This highlights the significance of unravelling the role of nutrientgene interaction in progression of chronic diseases. Periodontitis is linked to a number of chronic systemicdiseases which emphasize the significance of effective periodontal disease management for tooth retentionas well as for overall health.

Abstract

Objectives: To study the effects of celiac disease on bone mineral density.Design: Case-control study.Setting: The study was conducted in Department of Anatomy, Sardar Patel Medical College, Bikaner,Rajasthan.Participants: A total of 90 patients, 60 control group healthy normal and 30 celiac disease patients casegroup were incorporated in study with informed consent.Material and Methods: The bone mineral density was measured in case and control group at calcaneum byperipheral dual X-ray absorptiometry along with body mass index and age.Results: The significant difference was found between the bone mineral density of case and control group(0.87±0.49 & 0.61±0.44: p=0.0001) and 43.33% subjects had osteopenia in case group while only 5% subjectshad osteopenia in healthy group. The significant difference of bone mineral density in both groups below theage of 15 years was non existing but between the age group of 16-30 years it was significant(-1.17±0.68 &0.68±0.21: p=0.001)Conclusion: Celiac disease patients are at higher risk of osteopenia so it is suggested that they should beinvestigated in early time of diagnosis mainly in the growing years because it affects most at this time.

Abstract

Sexual violence is a major public health and human rights problem with consequences on women’s physical,mental sexual and reproductive health. Data on sexual violence typically come from police, clinical settings,nongovernmental organisations and survey research. The magnitude of the problem of sexual violence maybe viewed as tip of iceberg floating in water. There is limited amount of information on sexually violentmen, it appears that sexual violence is found in almost all countries in all socioeconomic classes and in allage groups from childhood onwards. Data on alleged accused also show that most direct their acts at womenwhom they already know. A total of 70 cases were analysed, 40 (57.14%) cases belong to Hindu religion, 44(62.85%) cases were unmarried, 32 (45.71%) cases were illiterate, 26 (37.14%) cases the offence occurredin open space, 34(48.57%) cases the incident was consensual act. In 35(50%) cases the alleged accused andvictim was lovers, the age of the accused in 38(54.28%) cases were between 19-25 years, age of the victimsin 55 (78.57 %) cases was in between 13 – 18 years. In examination of alleged accused there were no scars,ulcer, sinus discharge and sexually transmitted disease in any of the case. Sexual violence has generally beena neglected area of research in most parts of the world, yet the evidence suggests that it is a public healthproblem of substantial proportions. Much more needs to be done both to understand the phenomenon andto prevent it.

Abstract

The cause of unnatural deaths in females differ from that of males. Unnatural death is an intentional(hanging, poison ingestion) or unintentional death (road traffic accidents) as a result of external factors. Thesocioeconomic differences in lifestyle are associated with differences in attitudes towards life and henceaccordingly the incidence of physical violence, suicides are encountered. There is an increasing incidenceof traffic accidents among females in recent years, this may be a result of development in education andocupational opportunities for female sex. A total of 70 cases were analysed, in analysing religion 60 (85.71%)cases belong to Hindu religion. 62 (88.57%) cases were married, 55 (78.57%) cases were house wife, 49(70%) cases were illiterate, 20 (28.57%)cases was seen in 61-70 years of age group, road traffic accidents 16(22.85%) cases were noted. Distribution and causes of unnatural female deaths in present study is not similarto the pattern found in most of the other Indian studies The present study revealed that the unintentionaltrauma, mainly the road traffic accidents are responsible for unnatural deaths of females i.e pedestrian andpillion riders. This highlights the importance of timely interventions of road safety measures.

Abstract

Every tooth possesses a set of unique characteristics and the way the teeth are arranged in different oral cavitiesare unique in every individual. Therefore, dentition is useful for individual identification and comparison,especially in mass disasters where the bodies of the victims become mutilated beyond recognition. Forensicodontology deals with the science of dentistry to aid in the administration of justice. There is a huge void inthe number of forensic odontology experts required to meet the demand and those that are actually gettingtrained in this concern. In order to ease this, there is a need to incorporate MBBS undergraduate curriculumwith the shortlisted particulars of forensic dentistry. The study was conducted to evaluate the awareness andknowledge about forensic dentistry amongst the 2nd Year MBBS under graduates in Mahavir Institute ofMedical Sciences. The study showed that the level of awareness on topic was adequate in the participantsbut they had little knowledge about the practical application of forensic odontology in routine practice.Conducting regular seminars and workshops can be helpful to develop the practical skill required in handlingforensic odontology related cases in emergency department.
