Abstract

Gingiva pigmentation has an impact on patient’s esthetics and formulates pscyhological negativity. Gingivalpigmentation is most predominant and endogenous pigmentation among oral mucosa. The gingivalpigmentation can be physiologic and pathologic. It can be a genetic trait in some population. The physiologicmelanin pigmentation does not possess a medical problem, it is mainly associated with individuals withhigh smile line and excessive gingival display. Pigmentation of gingiva is due to deposition of melanin inbasal and suprabasal layer of epithelium. The gingival depigmentation is a esthetical correction techniquewhere hyperpigmentation is removed. The treatment depends on patient need and skin complexion. Propertreatment method is required for treating the unesthetic gingival pigmentation. Perio-esthectic is focused onproper equilibrium of both pink and white(teeth) tissue. To overcome this problem wide array of methodare put forth which include scalpel method, cryosurgery, gingival ablation method, electrocautery, chemicalmethod, lasers and grafts. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract

Summary: Coronavirus (COVID-19) is diversely found in human beings and wild animals. It is an envelopedRNA virus. There are a total six species which cause disease in humans. They commonly infect respiratory,neurological, enteric, and hepatic systems. There is history of endemic outbreaks in past in the form ofMiddle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERSCoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome relatedcoronavirus (SARS-CoV).We have seen another outbreak due to a new strain called the SARS-CoV-2 viruswhich presented as a pneumonia of unknown etiology in patients in Wuhan,China. The epicenter of infectionwas linked to seafood and exotic animal wholesale markets in the city. It is highly contagious and hasresulted in a rapid pandemic of COVID-19. As the number of cases continue to rise, it is clear that theseviruses pose a threat to public health. This review will describe clinical features and treatment of COVID-19patients and raise awareness among healthcare workers and general population during the current pandemic.This review article aims at giving up-to-date information about the disease and counselling of patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Autism is a neuro-developmental ailment seen in the preschool age. It is a lifelong conditionand requires long term and multiple treatment interventions.Aim and Objective: To review and present a possible prevention and treatment protocol on Autism SpectrumDisorder (ASD).Material and Method: The present study is based on the literature search from Ayurveda compendia, recentpediatric textbooks, articles published in research journals from 1983 to 2019.Observations and Result: ASDs are the complex diseases with imbalance of Tridosha and Dwimanasdoshas(fundamental principles of body and mind), based on typical clinical features which match with DSM-V(Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) that can be correlated with Unmada (Psychosis/insanity). ASDs can beclassified into Autism, Asperger’s and Rett’s syndrome. The probable etiopathogenesis may be defectiveorganogenesis, brain damage, metabolic or genetic changes.Discussion: Acharya emphasized on Yuktivyapashray (rational therapy), Daiva vyapashray (nonpharmacological spiritual therapy) and Satvavajay chikitsa (Ayurveda psychotherapy) altogether in Unmadtreatment due to its complex nature. Recently developed therapies such as play therapy and cognitivebehavioral therapy-CBT can be a good adjuvant with Ayurvedic management of ASDs for better quality oflife.Conclusion: As no satisfactory treatment is available in modern medicine till now, multi-modal treatmentsuch as Ayurveda, behavioral therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and early educational interventionsmight be beneficial to treat ASDs effectively. This review paper will be a torchbearer in the prevention andmanagement of ASDs with the whole system approach and proposed management algorithm.

Abstract

Periodontitis involves destruction of the periodontal ligament and supporting structures. It ranges from asimple inflammation of gums to major damage resulting in loss of bone. Multiple conditions like trauma,periodontal disease, reconstructive surgery, ageing, osteoporosis and neoplastic pathology, have a commoncharacteristic feature being loss of bone and tissue. The regenerative procedures that are currently practicedaim to regenerate the lost tissue via means of grafting, placement of membranes and many more, but havebeen accompanied with a set of limitations and major disadvantage being graft rejection. Periodontalregeneration still endures to be a partially unsolved algorithm. In dentistry, a new arena of developmentis being exploited to set a new approach for regeneration that is Nanotechnology. This branch involvestissue engineering which aims to regenerate the lost tissues via manufacturing scaffolds which transportsignaling cells and molecules. These scaffolds possess magnificent physical as well as chemical propertiesand biomimetic features that act as a substitute of the highest standard offering innumerable benefits forpromoting cell growth and tissue regeneration via tissue engineering.Nanomaterials because of their refinedphysiochemical characteristics and biomimetic attributes serve as a scope worthy substitute that offersseveral advancements for stimulation of cell growth and tissue regeneration. This review provides an insightto basic information about nanotechnology, the various nano particles having application in periodontalregeneration, the advanced regenerative procedures fabricated on the principles of nanotechnology, theirapplications, the clinical studies highlighting the achievements so far, supremacy over the conventionalmethod and limitations.
