Abstract

Alveolar ridge defect may occur due to injury,trauma,normal healing after extraction, denture wear andperiodontitis. Based on sibert’s classification, it can be classified into three classes: class I (buccolingual lossof tissue), class II (apico coronal loss of tissue) and class III (both loss of tissue). It is important to close theridge defect by replacing the tooth loss and to achieve good esthetic, phonetic and mastication. The aim ofthis study was to assess the prevalence of alveolar ridge defects using seibert’s classification among partiallyedentulous patients.This study was conducted in a university setting among the outpatient population of adental college.We reviewed patients records and analysed the data of 86000 patients between June 2019 andMarch 2020. 32,837 patients data were included from 86000 patients and were assessed and the data wastabulated in excel and later was imported to SPSS software by IBM and descriptive statistics were doneand results were analysed graphically. The statistical analysis were performed using chi-square test.Basedon the results, 50.5% males,51.4% females and 40% transgender have class I alveolar ridge defects; 0.7%male,0.8% females and 0% transgender have class II alveolar ridge defects;1.3 % males,1.4% females and0% transgenders have class III alveolar ridge defects; 47.5% males, 46.4% females and 60% transgenderhave normal edentulous ridge.To conclude, the Sibert’s classification helps in suggesting a proper treatmentplan for the patient to ensure that the treatment outcomes turn out to be successful.

Abstract

Immunity plays a major role, by protecting us from various foreign antigens.It is broadly classified intotwo major groups, active immunity and passive immunity. Foods such as citrus fruits, broccoli, garlic,ginger, yogurt, and almonds are immune boosting foods.The positive thoughts also have a good impactover diseases like diabetes and cancer and it can be overcome by the positive thoughts. Positive thoughtsare directly proportional to the positive effects on immunity.The positive thoughts are directly proportionalto the positive effects on immunity by controlling or decreasing stress level. The decrease in the positivethoughts have direct impact on health, thus it paves a way for occurrence of disease. The aim of the presentstudy is to assess the knowledge of positive thoughts on immunity among the general population. An onlinebased survey was conducted among 100 people on the impact of positive thoughts on immunity. The resultswere analyzed and represented as graphs. The present study thus concluded that based on the survey peoplehad less knowledge about the impact of positive thoughts on immunity.

Abstract

Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) are defined as the risk of malignancy being present in a lesionor condition either at the time of initial diagnosis or at a future date. They have the potential to undergomalignant transformation.Some of the potentially malignant disorders that are related to oral squamous cellcarcinoma are Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), Leukoplakia, Erythroplakia, & Lichen Planus. There isa dual relationship between Oral carcinoma and periodontitis.Oral lesions may have an indirect effect oninitiating periodontitis. Periodontitis can be considered as one of the risk factors for the development of oralcancer. The aim of the study is to assess the periodontal status of patients who are diagnosed with oral lesionsin Saveetha Institute of Medical & Technical Sciences (SIMATS). This is a retrospective study, carried outby analysis of the patient records from June 2019 to March 2020 were assessed. Parameters assessed were- Age, Sex, Systemic status, Periodontal parameters (Periodontal probing depth - PPD, Loss of Attachment -LOA, Bleeding on Probing - BOP), periodontal status (Healthy gingiva, Gingivits, Periodontitis) & Severityof periodontitis (Mild, moderate & severe). Data was analysed using SPSS version 23.0. Chi square test wasdone to compare the differences in proportion. A total of 192 subjects were included in the study. 93 patients(48.4%) were diagnosed with OSMF, whereas 99 patients (51.6%) were diagnosed with Leukoplakia. Malesconstituted 93.75% of the study population and females constituted 6.25% of the study population. Agegroup of the study population ranged from 20 years to 80 years. Mean age of the study population is 42.25years. 51.04% of the patients were diagnosed with gingivitis, 43.23% of the patients were diagnosed withperiodontitis & 5.73% of the patients had healthy gingiva. Chi square test results showed statisticallysignificant association between oral lesions and habits, with a p value of 0.000. Leukoplakia was found tobe more prevalent among smokers & OSMF was found to be more prevalent among patients who had thehabit of chewing Areca nut, Hans, Mawa and Pan. However, there was no statistically significant differencebetween oral lesions based on periodontal status & severity of periodontitis.Oral lesions can be consideredas an attributing factor for development of periodontitis.

Abstract

Teeth are informative indicators for the study of human populations, serving as markers and thebases for comparisons of genetic origin. Mandibular first molar is represented as 36 or 46 in the FDI system.The occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth occlude with the opposing occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth. Theocclusal morphology differs in each posterior tooth. The occlusal aspect of posterior teeth is developed intocusps ( 5 or 4 or 6 ) and grooves ( Y or + or X pattern ). These cuspal patterns and groove patterns help inforensic identification in cases like gender determination and also to identify the ethnic background of anindividual. Variation in degree of expression and frequency of teeth in dentitions of different populationsis different which may be helpful for forensic identification. The aim of the study was to determine theprevalence of different occlusal morphological patterns of permanent mandibular first molars. The studyincluded a predominantly South Indian population. Approval was received from the Institutional ReviewBoard. Study was conducted with 100 participants who were randomly selected. The occlusal morphologypatterns (number of cusps and groove pattern) of left and right permanent mandibular first molar wereassessed from the photographs of the oral cavity and the date was recorded. Results showed that the mostprevalent number of cusps in permanent mandibular first molar was 5 cusps ( 71% ) and Most prevalentgroove pattern in permanent mandibular first molar was Y pattern. It was also observed that the combinationof the 5Y pattern was more prominent in females than in males.

Abstract

The primary dentition for children is, perhaps, the most essential and yet the most neglected concern by aparent. Often, these parents who are responsible for the health of the primary dentition of their children feelthat primary teeth eventually shed, and hence do not deserve heed to providing adequate oral health. The aimof this study was to evaluate the parental knowledge, attitude, and practices on the importance of primarydentition of their children. A well structured, self-prepared questionnaire was circulated among parents ofthe dental students within the university. The results obtained were collected and analysed to find out theawareness levels among the parents and to find out which group had the highest knowledge on primary teeth.The statistical tests used were descriptive analysis and Chi square tests. The confidence level was 95% andthe data was considered statistically significant if P value < 0.05. In our study, it was found that among theparents, graduated individuals had the highest knowledge on primary dentition, especially the Post graduatelevel parents
