Abstract

The goal of Pediatric dentistry is to preserve the primary teeth. Extraction of primary teeth is one of the mostfrequent procedures which has to be performed in pediatric clinics. The common cause of extraction includesdental caries followed by dental trauma. Other causes include the diseases involving the periapical tissues.Knowing the prevalence or most commonly extracted tooth can help in establishing essential preventivestrategies. Hence, the aim of the present study was to analyse the frequently extracted primary tooth inthe mandibular arch of children. The study was a retrospective study done under a University setting.Thedata collected by reviewing and analysing 7415 patients records who visited the university hospital duringthe time period of June 2019 to March 2020. Inclusion criteria was children who underwent single andmultiple extractions of mandibular primary teeth. A total of 1169 case records were collected, tabulated andentered in excel. Using SPSS software the data was subjected to descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests.Prevalence of boys who underwent extraction was 54%. Extraction was more prevalent in the age groupof 7-12 years.The most frequently extracted primary tooth in the mandibular arch of children based on thestudy was the mandibular left first primary molar which accounts for 19.9%. From the data obtained , thestudy concludes that the most frequently extracted primary tooth in children is the left first molar and foundto be predominantly in boys.

Abstract

In the endodontic glossary the working length is defined as the distance from a coronal reference point tothe point at which canal preparation and obturation should terminate. Pulpectomy is a process of completeremoval of the necrotic pulp from the root canals of primary teeth and filling them with an inert resolvablematerial so as to maintain the tooth in the dental arch. A University based study was conducted on mandibularprimary first molar. Various pathologies such as pain, swelling, abscess and resorption were considered.Data collection was done by reviewing the patient records and analysing the data of 501 patients from June2019 to March 2020, then excel tabulation, Statistical analysis was done using SPSS and Pearson chi-squaretest was performed. The total number of patients seen were 501, age ranged from 2 to 6 years. Out of thetotal population 42.91% (215) were female and 57.09% (286) were males. The mean length of mesio buccalcanal was 10.76 mm, mesio distal canal – 10.88 mm, and the distal canal was 11.2 mm in the mandibularfirst primary molar. Pulpal pathology with mean working length of the root canals were as follows, In painthe mesio buccal root had 10.76 mm, mesio lingual root had 10.81 mm and the distal root had 12.01 mm.Abscess the mesio buccal root had 10.75 mm, mesio lingual root 10.79 mm and the distal root 12.03 mm.Swelling the mesio buccal root had 10.75 mm, mesio lingual root had 10.80 mm, and the distal root had12mm, Resorption mesio buccal root had 10.77 mm, mesio lingual root had 10.78 mm, and the distal root had11.8 mm. In regard to various pathogens such as pain,swelling, abscess and resorption the working lengthwas determined as 10.76 mm for mesio buccal root, 10.88 mm for mesio lingual root and 11.2 mm for distalroot of the mandibular first primary molar.

Abstract

Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder commonly called “TMJ ‘’ disorder, are a group of conditionsthat cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscle that control the jaw movement. The generaland clinical consequences of discomfort, pain and disturbance of mastication are similar in most patients.TMD can be caused by injury to the jaw, TMJ or muscles on head and neck, such as from a heavy blow.Other causes includes: Grinding or clenching the teeth (puts a lot of pressure on TMJ), dislocation of thesoft cushion or disc between the ball and socket, presence of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in theTMJ, stress which can cause a person to tighten muscles in the face and jaw as to clench the teeth. Somesymptoms of TMD are like - Pain and tenderness, clicking, popping or limited jaw opening or there willbe swelling on the side of the face.Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of TMJdisorder attending private dental colleges in Chennai. Case sheet of all the patients reporting to the OPDof Saveetha Dental College with TMJ problems.The study was conducted between June 2019-March 2020.This university setting study a sample of 61pateints.Data tabulated with parameters of age, gender and TMDtypes Microsoft excel 2016 (microsoft office 10) was used to collect data and later was imported to spsssoftware for statistical analysis.

Abstract

Ayurvedic medicine is considered as the world’s oldest medical system. Ayurveda originated in India over5000 years ago in the magnificent Himalayas.Ayurveda is a pseudoscientific system of medicine withhistorical roots in the indian subcontinent. Ancient Ayurvedic texts also taught surgical techniques,includingrhinoplasty,kidney stone extractions,sutures, and the extraction of foreign objects. It is still practiced in theSouth Indian population. There are studies showing data that about 80% of Indian patients use ayurvedictherapy instead of allopathy. This is a cross sectional study conducted among 100 dental students througha questionnaire with the help of an online survey link. The responses show 79% of the participants agreethat knowledge about Ayurveda is important to dental students. 80% of the participants agree that Ayurvedashould be integrated with modern medicine. Dental students have a good knowledge about Ayurvedicmedicine and medicinal herbs that are used in the process.

Abstract

Amelogenesis imperfecta [AI] is a congenital disorder that presents with a rare abnormal formation ofthe enamel, external layer of the crown of teeth, unrelated to any systemic or generalized Conditions. AIcauses teeth to be usually small, discolored, pitted or grooved and prone to rapid wear and breakage. Thesedefects which vary among affected individuals can affect both primary teeth and secondary teeth. About 14forms of amelogenesis imperfecta have been described so far. They are distinguished by their specific dentalabnormalities and by their pattern of inheritance. Additionally, amelogenesis imperfecta can occur alonewithout any other signs and symptoms or as a part of a syndrome that affects multiple parts of the body.

Abstract

Online teaching has become a more common way to learn in college settings for the past 10 years therefore,curriculum designers must evaluate the best ways in which to deliver information and assure studentknowledge in an online form. Various methods of teaching are known- analytical, episodic, narrative, whichprovide different advantages and disadvantages. They differ on the basis of discussions and include factorssuch as discussion initiation, maintenance and assessment. Chickering’s seven principles of good practiceare used to design courses and the usefulness of each principle and suggests ways in which the principle canbe implemented effectively. In an online forum, other efficiency determining factors have been discussed,which include communication, flexibility, feedback, quality of course content among adapting to studentneeds

Abstract

Disinfection of root canal using root canal medicaments is considered to be an essential step for a successfulendodontic treatment. Ideal requisite of intracanal madicaments is the disinfection of the root canal andrendering it free of bacteria without causing harm to the tooth and oral tissues. Most commonly usedintracanal medicaments are calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine and iodine potassium iodide. Sodium chlorideis not preferred as a medicament due to its property of irritating the surrounding tissues. Dentin has aninherent inhibiting effect on intracanal medicaments as it has the buffering effect which tends to neutralisethe pH of the medicaments rendering them with decreased antibacterial property. The antibacterial effect of amedicament indicates its level of action. More the antibacterial action, less the dentinal inhibition. A reviewof scientific literature was done using databases such as pubmed, google scholar, MESH and so on. The timeframe of the articles taken is between 2000 to 2020. The results are based on previous studies done on thistopic. Newer methods such as bioactive glass, photon induced acoustic streaming and gentlewave systemwere introduced to overcome this discrepancy in disinfecting the root canal. Even though the success rates ofendodontic treatments are high, it can be improved by researching and using newer and better materials forelimination of bacteria. Thus, in this review we have analysed the relation between root canal medicamentsand their inhibition by dentin.

Abstract

The frequent use and misuse of the currently used therapeutic agents have led to the evolution of resistantstrains of common pathogens as well as increased incidence of adverse effects associated with their usage.Hence, the search for phytochemicals isolated from plants is considered as a good alternative source. Theminimum number of plant species worldwide has been phytochemically investigated until date, there isa great potential for discovering novel bioactive compounds and drugs. The design and development ofherbal nanoparticles have become frontier research in the nanoformulation arena. Curcumin, a hydrophobicpolyphenol (diferuloylmethane) is a potent Phyto molecule obtained from turmeric (Curcuma longa, FamilyZingiberaceae) has a wide range of biological activities in chronic diseases and a large number of in-vitroand invivo studies in both humans and animals reported that curcumin has provoked properties like antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antimutagenic, hepatoprotective and immunostimulant.Due to these properties, it is quite useful in dentistry. It has a role in the treatment of periodontal diseasesand oral cancers. But the clinical application of curcumin was limited due to its poor oral bioavailability,which may result from its poor water solubility, its poor pharmacokinetic profile, rapid metabolism, andrapid elimination which ultimately results in poor bioavailability upon oral administration. Therefore theintroduction of novel drug delivery technologies gained the importance to achieve modified delivery ofherbal drugs by increasing the therapeutic value and provides a solution towards increased bioavailabilityof curcumin. However, there is a scarcity of research and information in this field and much work is neededto further investigate the pharmacokinetics, enhance the delivery at the target tissue, the bioavailability, andthe medicinal value of curcumin. In this review, various nanoparticles, micellar formulations, cyclodextrininclusion compounds, and liposomes have been reported in order to improve the bioavailability, solubility,and efficacy of curcumin.
