<![CDATA[Hallucination occurs in different modalities (olfactory, tactile, gustatory, visual, and auditory). Auditoryhallucination is the most common among them. It is a form of hallucination that involves perceiving soundswithout external auditory stimulus. It is most common among people with psychotic disorder (schizoprenia).It is also seen in people with hearing impairment. Hallucinations may also be present in 10–15% of normalhealthy individuals. This case study discuss about an adult female of 88 years who reported with a complaintof auditory hallucination for the past 2 years and focuses on the rehabilitation provided and highlights theuse of amplification devices on tinnitus and similar disorders.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Perianal fistula is one of the common gastrointestinal pathology with significant morbidity.Goodsall’s rule states that the posterior perianal fistulas have the fistulous tract that opens into the anal canalin the midline posteriorly, sometimes taking a curvilinear course and anterior perianal fistulas will have aradial fistulous tract.Objectives: To assess the accuracy of Goodsall’s rule in perianal fistulas on comparison with MagneticResonance (MR) fistulogram findings.Materials and Methods: A total of 45 cases with perianal fistula underwent pre-operative MR Fistulogramassessment. Fistulas were divided into anterior and posterior fistulas based on MR Fistulogram findings.Accuracy of Goodsall’s rule in all the perianal fistulas visualised on MRI was assessed.Results: Out of 45 patients, 10(22.2%) patients had anterior fistulas and rest of 35(77.8%) patients hadposterior fistulas. Goodsall’s rule was valid in 28(62.2%) patients. Seventeen (37.8%) patients did not followGoodsall’s rule. Goodsall’s rule was found to be more accurate in anterior fistulas than posterior fistulas.Conclusion: MR Fistulogram has high accuracy of detecting perianal fistulas. Goodsall’s rule may not bevalid in all the cases of perianal fistulas. Goodsall’s rule is more applicable in anterior fistulas. Posteriorfistulas do not strictly adhere to Goodsall’s rule with many of them showing linear tracts. This informationis useful for pre-operative planning of fistula treatment.]]>

<![CDATA[Facial nerve palsy is the common problem of facial muscles weakness and facial appearance, mainly resultingof temporary or permanent damage of any structures innervated by the facial nerve. It can be congenital oracquired. About 45 to 75 % of unilateral facial nerve palsy cases are still idiopathic. Facial palsy impairmentsignificantly affects swallowing, articulation, and lip sufficiency. Diminished facial expression can posechallenges in face-to-face communications that affects their psychological consequences which lead tonegative impact on the quality of life. This article reviews on the assessment and management for thecommunication and quality of life. Speech-language therapy in facial paralysis aims in the rehabilitation oforal functions such as verbal and non-verbal communication, swallowing and vegetative skills.]]>

<![CDATA[Aim: The purpose of this study is to survey the awareness of Audiologists and Speech Language Pathologistsamong Medical Professionals (Doctors, Postgraduate students and Undergraduate students) and to report thepreliminary survey results.Method: A survey was carried out by administering questionnaire consisting 20 questions. The questionsare designed to explore and investigate the field of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology (ASLP). Theparticipants were divided into two groups A and B, where group B is below 35 years and group A is 35 yearsand above.Result: The result of the study revealed that the overall awareness of ASLPs among Medical Professionalsvaried between fairly adequate knowledge to inadequate knowledge. Age does not have any influence onsignificant awareness on ASLPs.Conclusion: Hence the knowledge and awareness for audiologists and speech-language pathologists need toescalate among medical professionals. Future surveys should be conducted to reduce the lack of awareness of]]>

<![CDATA[Barodontalgia is a pain due to pressure difference. Here in this review article, pathophysiology, manifestation,associated conditions and treatment guidelines of this rare symptom have been discussed. It is often a flareup of preexisting sub clinical oral diseases. Deep sea divers, air crew members especially of fighter jets oftensuffer from these due to frequent altitude difference and with it the pressure difference. This often pose agreat challenge to dental surgeons who sometimes fail to found the exact ill tooth of problem so managementbecomes problematic.]]>

<![CDATA[Success of a dental implant depends on osseointegration which is the direct structural and functionalconnection between the dental implant and the alveolar bone. Successful osseointegration requires bothprimary stability (mechanical stability) between the implant and the bone and secondary stability (biologicalstability) which occurs during bone remodelling during healing.]]>

<![CDATA[Dental trauma is a very significant problem encountered in both primary and the permanent dentition.Inpreschool children the trauma rate is as high as 18% of all injuries. Among all facial injuries, dental injuries arethe most common of which avulsions occur in 1–16% of all dental injuries. Among dental traumatic injuries,avulsion results in major functional and esthetic disturbances for patients. Epidemiological studies revealedthat children from 8 to 12 years often suffer a dental injury.The teeth most commonly avulsed in both theprimary and the permanent dentition are the maxillary central and lateral incisors. The longer the avulsedtooth is out of its socket, the less likely it will remain in a healthy functional state after replantation. Theprognosis of replanted permanent teeth depends primarily on (i) prompt and appropriate first care, commonlyprovided by non-health professionals at the site of the accident, (ii) the storage media of the avulsed toothprior to replantation, and (iii) the viability of periodontal ligament remnants on the root surface. Researchhas shown that immediate replantation is the best and most appropriate treatment for the traumaticallyavulsed permanent teeth.The aim of this study is to assess the basic knowledge of dental trauma and its management amongpediatricians]]>

<![CDATA[Various tissues in the body like bone, enamel dentin and cementum are composed of inorganic materialand they are exposed to multiple cycles of Demineralisation and remineralisation. Understanding thesebiological mechanisms are necessary for developing treatments for these mineralisation related diseases andspecifically dental caries as far as dentistry is concerned. This article focuses on the mechanism and rate ofdemineralisation and discusses in detail the causes of demineralisation.]]>

<![CDATA[Siloranes are a class of composites introduced in dentistry, introduced by Weinmann et al in 2005. Theterm silorane is derived from siloxane and oxirane. The combined form of these two chemical compoundsforms siloranes, which are biocompatible and hydrophobic in nature. The polymerization mechanism ofsilorane composites is described as a cationic ring opening polymerization reaction that causes opening andexpansion of the polymeric chain. This reduces the volumetric shrinkage when compared to methacrylatebased composites. This article highlights the composition and properties of silorane composites.]]>

<![CDATA[The mandibular premolars are more prone to aberrations of canals. They include bifurcation and trifurcationof canals which makes it difficult to diagnose and manage. The failure to treat them leads to re-infectionand persistence of infection in the tooth. Hence, it is of utmost importance for the clinician to know themorphologic variations. The present case report is aimed to give a clinical insight of such aberrations.The first case presents with mandibular first premolar with 2 roots and 2 root canals and second case is amandibular second premolar with 1 root and 3 canals which was diagnosed with CBCT. Both the cases weretreated endodontically and successfully managed.]]>
