<![CDATA[The older group of people (above sixty-five years) are facing lots of health and oral health issues due to thephenomenon of getting old. For that reason, this group needs the most attention to their health. Towards theend of the 20th century, the configuration of various age groups of people transformed tremendously. Thereare more older people and much more entered into the older group. This dynamic change has a direct effecton oral and systemic health. Dentist has great hand in solving the oral problem in geriatric people. Dentistshould always consider the nutrition factor of geriatric patients. Topmost problem regarding the oral carefacility in the older population is underestimated the oral disease Proper dentist population ratio throughoutour nation to provide better dental care. Regular screen camps in different places to find older patients andgave them special care because due to rapid dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss the old peoplefacing various problems.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Coracoid process is a bird’s beak like projection which arises superolaterally from the upperborder of the head. It plays an important role in shoulder function. The aim of our study is to measure thedimensions of the coracoid process of the scapula.Method: The study was performed on 104 specimens of human scapula of unknown sex obtained from theDepartment of Anatomy of Institute of Medical Sciences & SUM hospital. The dimensions recorded werebreath, length, height,thickness and types of coraco-glenoid space by using digital vernier calipers. Theseparameters were compared on both the sides.Results: The most predominant coraco-glenoid space was found to be the round bracket (Type I).Statistically insignificant difference was noted in all four parameters between right and left. Though all thefour parameters have higher values on right side in comparison to left side but the difference was statisticallyinsignificant. The results are as such length of coracoid- 39.91±3.16 mm; width of coracoid- 14.00±2.03mm; tip thickness of coracoid- 8.32±1.87 mm; height of base coracoid- 22.87±3.55 mm; width of base ofcoracoid- 10.50 ±2.64 mm;Conclusions: The study of variation of dimensions of coracoid process provides valuable informationregarding the role of these parameters in etiology of subcoracoid impingement syndrome which will helpthe radiologist and orthopedic surgeons for diagnosing various pathologies and plan for surgical procedureon coracoid process.]]>

<![CDATA[Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GN) is an unusualclinical condition where severe paroxysmal pain of theglossopharyngeal nerve. GN pain should be differentiated from trigeminal neuralgia pain, as the two neuralgiasshare several similar features. Thorough medical history coupled with a detailed clinical examination andhematologic and radiographic investigations is necessary for early and accurate diagnosis. Anticonvulsantsform the cornerstone of the medical management, and surgical interventions (microvascular decompressionand gamma knife surgery) is needed in cases resistant to pharmacotherapy.]]>

<![CDATA[The nerve block given to obtain anesthesia in maxillary molars and its supporting structures is the posteriorsuperior alveolar nerve (PSAN) block. One of the common complications of the block is extraoral hematomawhich occurs because of the needle penetration to far posteriorly placing it in the vicinity of pterygoidplexus of veins, maxillary artery resulting in probable inadvertent nicking of the vessel causing effusion ofblood into the surrounding soft tissue resulting in swelling and discoloration. This case report describes thiscomplication and its management.]]>

<![CDATA[Hyperglycemia induces a higher rate of activation pathways responsible for inflammation which leads tomicrovascular and macrovascular complications, oxidative stress as well as apoptosis. In the pathologicalmanifestation of hyperglycemic events, a raised level of inflammatory markers such as: IL6, TNF-?and C-reactive protein occurs which in turn promotes acute-phase of inflammation leading to signalingimpairment of insulin function and insulin resistance. On the other hand, enhanced systemic inflammationdue to periodontal diseases mediated by the release of IL-6 and TNF-? happens when associated withhyperglycemia. This review article deals with assessment on hyperglycemia and its correlation to dentalpathologies with special reference to periodontitis and vice versa. Studies show that the paradigm shift in theoral microbiota due to hyperglycemic condition resulting in the increase in the pathogenicity of associatedpathogenic microbes which results in increased inflammation and bone loss in periodontal pathologies.The extensive studies about the association between inflammatory periodontal disease and diabetes show thecyclic relationship between the two. Diabetes predisposes the individual to periodontal infections and alsothe later exacerbates or worsens the glycemic control in diabetic patients. Routine periodontal examinationprovides an insight for the early diagnosis of diabetes in undiagnosed patients and may reduce the worseningof metabolic control thereby preventing serious complications. Also the oral health of diabetic patients maybe improved and well maintained with proper management of blood glucose levels.Although there are evidences in literature to establish correlation between Diabetes Mellitus associatedwith periodontitis and vice versa, still the outcomes are not conclusive. Therefore large-scale prospectiveepidemiological analysis are the only sought after approach to clearly bring in the connectivity betweenDiabetes and Periodontal disease]]>

<![CDATA[Proteins are the base structure for both the microorganisms as well as for the periodontal tissue. Theperiodontitis complex array is chiefly built by the cascade of a myriad of protein molecules. Hence, thescience as well as the study of the complex molecule proteins as biomarkers in the periodontal world,has brought into the main focus since. This complex protein is the main factor in the development of thepathogenesis of periodontitis. Thereby, it is very much used as a diagnostic biomarker. The sound andrich facts of many proteins concerned in oral pathogenesis can be applied in the analysis, avoidance andmanagement of periodontal disease. Hence, this review topic has been considered to understand the basicsof the role of Proteomics and Genomics in the field of Periodontology.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Antibiotics are the most widely prescribed therapeutic agents in dentistry, hence it representsan important aspect of dental practice. The inept use of antibiotics for the treatment of dental infections inchildren is a leading cause of developing microbial resistance.Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the knowledge & attitudes of a group of dentalstudents when prescribing antibiotics during the treatment of pediatric dental patients.Method: This is a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study conducted in a group of 300 dental studentsfrom various dental colleges of Bhubaneswar city, Odisha. The questionnaire consisted of closeended questions, structured under three main headings. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS statisticsversion 24.Results: The prime findings were that amoxicillin is the most commonly prescribed antibiotic, most studentshad not received training on antibiotic prescribing and had treated more than 10 child patients per week &their concordance with guidelines on antibiotic prescribing was generally low.Conclusion: This cross-sectional study shows there is a need to improve the knowledge on antibioticprescribing for children.]]>
