Abstract

Host modulation therapy involves a wide array of therapeutic strategies directed towards modulation ofhost factors in order to prevent the initiation and progression of periodontal disease. Host modulation is oneof the non-surgical periodontal therapeutic approaches employed nowadays as better compliance is oftenseen among the patients. These strategies are basically aiming at reduction of inflammatory mediators orinhibition of destructive enzymes etc. These approaches are much popular in recent times and employ varioustherapeutics to attain the same. This review enlists the various strategies and approaches in modulating thehost for prevention of periodontal disease.

Abstract

Saliva influences oral health both through its non-specific physicochemical properties, as well as throughmore specific effects. The proline-rich proteins, statherin and the histatins are salivary proteins that influencecalcium phosphate chemistry, initial plaque formation and candida infection. Increases or decreases inmastication may affect saliva output. Fixed orthodontic appliances introduce an additional constituent to theoral cavity complex that may enhance the environment in a variety of ways. On the other hand, Orthodontictreatment leads to changes in the oral environmental factors that encourage changes in salivary flow rate,viscosity, pH, bacterial count, increased plaque index, and other more things which all are factors supplementthe risk of caries activity and shake the stability of the oral environment. This manuscript highlights theeffect of saliva on orthodontic treatment.

Abstract

In clinical practice we usually come across cases with severe tooth wear which requires a full mouthrehabilitation. And management of patients with worn-out dentition was always a tough and complexprocedure. For a predictable and favourable treatment outcome a systemic multidisciplinary approach wasrequired. This case report describes the interdisciplinary approach in the treatment of a patient with severeattrition and loss of vertical dimension. After performing endodontic treatment for required teeth, a biteraising transitional prosthesis was given for increasing the VD to acquire essential interocclusal space forpost and core buildups and full coverage restorations. After that the porcelain fused to metal permanentrestoration was fabricated and scrutinized for stable contact in centric and eccentric relation.

Abstract

Republic India in the present situation is a fast developing nation whose population is more than one billiontoday. Looking at the current situation of India there is a minimal increase in the number ratio of variousdental specialized surgeons and its population. The burning issue of dentistry in India is not the insufficiencyof manpower but uniformity and equitable distribution. The most off-balanced circumstances are 68.89%people of India residing in rural areas and more than eighty-five percent dentist practicing in city areasneeds to be properly balanced. One of the issues related to the dental workforce in India is the deficientmanpower planning and projection. Due to a shortage of lawful and logical data for gauging of communitydemands and very less amount of guiding system for monitoring orofacial health care services need toguide planners. This paradoxical situation needs to be looked into immediately. At this time, public stashis scant and competed for strongly. It should not a proper time to schedule large and luxurious programs.State Governments to incorporate various suitable orofacial or oral care planning in its agenda as a matterof prime concern and create the groundwork for dental clinics at general public Hospitals, Primary HealthCenters, Sub-centers as well as at referral dental centers in rural areas, to provide oral health care to our ruralpopulation.

Abstract

Gingival recession (GR) is a condition in which there is an apical shift of gingival margin leading to exposureof root surface. On exposure of root surface, there will be root sensitivity, pain, root caries, poor aesthetic,and ultimately tooth loss. There are various techniques used to treat gingival recession. In this case report,a laterally positioned pedicle graft technique was used to treat gingival recession. A 37-year-old male cameto the Department of Periodontics, with a chief complaint of sensitivity in lower left front teeth regions.On clinical examination, there was Miller Class III in 33 with the presence of generalized mild plaque andcalculus. It was planned for phase I therapy followed by phase II therapy. So scaling and root planing wasperformed to reduce inflammation and after 4 weeks, lateral positioned pedicle graft technique was doneunder infiltration local anesthesia. The subject was instructed to maintain oral hygiene. After 2 months, itwas found significant coverage of root with keratinized gingiva. He was very satisfied with the result.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer technologies in influencing our lives. These functions bydigital use of algorithms to learn data and form statistical patterns to understand the outcomes thus help indecision making. This article reviews the utility of AI in health care in precise diagnosis and better treatmentand patient care. It would provide superior quality and comprehensive patient care in dentistry. Theseinnovations would enable dentists to work with precision in all aspects of diagnosis and treatment planning.
