<![CDATA[Crouzon syndrome exhibits consideration of phenotypic heterogeneity, within the aetiology of whichgenetics play a crucial role. The FGFR2 gene mediates extracellular signals into cells and mutations withinthe FGFR2 gene cause Crouzon syndrome. The review summarizes the genetic phenotype study and geneticevaluation related to Crouzon syndrome (CS) which frequently determines the degree of complexity, guidemanagement, guidance and intervention related to this craniofacial defect. CS is a disorder characterizedby early fusion of certain skull bones (craniosynostosis). This prevents normal growth of the skull, whichmay affect the form of the top and face. Signs and symptoms of Crouzon syndrome may include wide-set,bulging eyes; strabismus (misalignment of the eyes); “beak-shaped” nose; and an underdeveloped upperjawbone. Other features may include dental problems, deafness, and/or harelip and palate. The severity ofsigns and symptoms can vary among affected people, even within a family. Intelligence is typically normal,but intellectual disability could also be present. Crouzon syndrome is caused by changes (mutations) withinthe FGFR2 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Treatment may involve surgeries to stopcomplications, improve function, and aid in healthy psychosocial development.]]>

<![CDATA[Dry socket is a most commonly seen complication of extraction. Dry socket is also known as fibrinolyticosteitis. It is an inflammation of the alveolar bone around the extracted tooth and characterized by severepain, breakdown of clot formed in the socket results in the socket empty. The main causes of dry socketis due to increased local fibrinolysis which leads to breakdown of clot. The aim of the present study is toevaluate the incidence of dry socket after extraction done in private college and hospital. We reviewedpatient records and analysed the data of 86000 patients between June 2019 and March 2020. In that, a totalof 1300 patients performed extraction. Out of the total population 0.5% has a complaint of dry socket. Thestudy was done in a private dental college and hospital. Data envy about dry socket. Excel tabulation is doneand statistics is done using SPSS software. Approval of the ethical committee was taken before the start ofthe study. A total of 1300 extractions were done in private dental college and hospital. The overall frequencyof dry socket was 0.5%. Incidence of dry socket among females(50%) is higher than the male (44.4%).Incidence of dry socket with smoking is more than non-smoking. Patients age, gender, reason for extraction,onset of symptoms, tooth number, and treatment given play no role in the occurrence of dry socket. Surgicaltrauma and smoking are the major factors in the occurrence of dry socket. High incidence of dry socketis seen in mandibular molars than the maxillary molars. Treatment with zinc oxide eugenol dressing andirrigation of socket is the most common dry socket management technique. Thus the incidence of dry socketafter extraction done in private college and hospital is estimated.]]>

<![CDATA[Splints are routinely used for occlusal force dissipation from the long axis of periodontally compromised teethtowards adjacent healthy teeth. This process causes forces generated from traumatic occlusion to be separatedfrom underlying periodontium favouring regeneration of lost tissue. Splinting periodontally compromisedteeth together causes the redistribution and redirection of functional and parafunctional forces to bring themwithin tolerance of the supporting tissue and to reduce mobility. However the common drawback of usingsplints include the lifespan of the splint without periodic modifications. The present study tries to relatethe reduction of mobility in periodontitis cases from grade II to grade I using different splinting materialsand the lifespan of the same. The present study was a single centered retrospective university based design,using patient records of Saveetha dental college, from 1st June 2019 till 1st March 2020 . The includedpatients were individuals with generalised/ localised chronic periodontitis, who had undergone non surgicalperiodontal therapy along with the use of provisional splints.The parameters assessed for two hundred andfifty eight patients included in the present study was longevity/lifespan of splints and the reduction in thedegree of mobility. Our observations revealed that stainless steel wire composite splints were used 1.96 timemore frequently than mesh reinforced composite splints, reduced grade II mobility to grade I mobility inteeth affected by periodontitis to a greater than composite resin wire mesh.(p<0.05). Within the limits of thisstudy splints were found to reduce mobility as an adjunct to periodontal therapy from grade II mobility tograde I mobility while using stainless steel wire composite resin splints among age groups of 20-40 yearswith a lifespan of 6 months 24% of the time .]]>

<![CDATA[Early or premature loss is defined as the loss of a deciduous tooth before its time of natural exfoliation.Thedisruption in the normal physiological process of deciduous tooth exfoliation and eruption of its successormay cause a series of changes in the dental arches ranging from a change in arch length to malocclusion ofsuccessive teeth. Premature loss of teeth can adversely affect oral health-related quality of life in children. The main aim of this study was to investigate the most frequently extracted maxillary primary tooth inchildren aged 1-15 years in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. This retrospective study was conducted among pediatricpatients who visited the OP of a university teaching hospital in Chennai during the period of June 2019 toMarch 2020. The collected data was then subjected to statistical analysis using Statistical Package for SocialScience (SPSS). Descriptive statistics and Chi square tests were used. The most frequent age group wasthe 7-12 years age group with 61.5% of the total population. Exodontia was most frequently seen in boyswith 53.9% of the total population.The most frequently extracted teeth was maxillary first right primarymolar with 17.8% followed by maxillary first left primary molar with 16.1%.Maxillary central incisors wasthe most frequently extracted teeth in younger age group 1-6 years with right primary maxillary centralincisor 8.33% and maxillary left primary central incisor 7.95% of total population. Within the limits of thestudy,Most frequently extracted tooth in the maxillary arch was the first primary molar. Exodontia was moreprevalent in the age group of 7-12 years. The most frequently extracted tooth in the younger age group (1-6years) was found to be the central incisors.]]>
