Abstract

“Stewardship” is an ethic that exemplifies the conscientious, and sustainable forethought with themanagement of resources. Antifungal stewardship” is evidence-based interventions for judiciousantifungal usage in healthcare setup, to get the best clinical outcomes and minimize adverse events andselective exhaustive pressures. This review briefly catalogues the seven core elements and supplementaryrecommendations by Mycoses Study Group Education and Research Consortium. Appraisal of AFS requiresa set of metrics which have been categorized into quantitative metrics, quality metrics, patient outcome andmicrobiological metrics and performance metrics or outcome measures. The four domains about barriersconcerning antimicrobial stewardship programs which include “outer setting”, “inner setting”, “individualsinvolved” and “the intervention”, have also been elucidated. At the present scenario, fungal infections areincreasing especially in immunocompromised and cancer patients thus financial strain imposed by these onhealth care is expected to escalate over time as the populace of individuals at risk augment. AFS comes tothe rescue to promote a wholesome utilization of currently available antifungal drugs to stem the tide of theemergence of resistance and morbidity of invasive disease.

Abstract

Dental implants are becoming the most popular mode of treatment nowadays, both partially and fullyedentulous patients. Although several meta-analyses show 93% survival rates of dental implants, failures indental implants are also seen. This review article aims to identify the failing implants at its earliest, makingawareness among the dentists to identify the causes of the failure and thereafter the treatment modalities tomanage such cases.

Abstract

The pandemic, COVID-19 is not the first but savagely has become a global attraction. First detected inChina, it has spread to India including other countries. Various intervention strategies like restriction ontravel, lockdown, screening and extensive research has contained the widespread infection in India. Whileintensifying preparedness for the unprecedented threat posed by COVID-19, the Government of India(GoI) has constituted an inter-ministerial committee represented by the ministers of the Ministry of Healthand Family Welfare (MoHFW), External Affairs, Home, Civil Aviation as well as the National DisasterManagement Authority. India has constantly been the centre of discussion because of the way it has handledthe pandemic so far. This article reflects the preparedness and potential plan by India to scale-up COVID-19management.

Abstract

Progress in regenerative endodontic procedures needs approval by clinicians, but there is little or noevidence. This study aimed to examine the awareness, mindset and experience of regenerative endodonticsamong Indian dental residents. For the survey they used a self-administered questionnaire which consistedof three parts; part A focused on the background and experience of dentists, part B pursued the viewpoint,views and decision of the dentist about the utilize of PRF and Regenerative techniques, Whereas part Ccontained questions focused on their clinical experience. Findings indicate that maximum respondents knewabout PRF during postgraduate training but 90% are willing to attend PRF and REP training. However,few claimed to have used any form of regenerative therapy in their work. Finally, it can be concludedthat findings are an indication of optimistic dental residents concerning the use of regenerative endodonticmethods; however, further analysis and routine training is needed.

Abstract

Extraction of teeth leads to loss of alveolar bone in several patterns. The bone loss can occur in a horizontalor vertical direction or a combination of both. Horizontal ridge width deficiency possesses a challenge for theclinician to obtain primary stability during loading and there is risk of fracture of bone segment. Thereforedifferent techniques have been described to gain the ridge width. One of the techniques used is ridge splittechnique which was first described by Simion et al in 1992. It is a technique of bone manipulation in sucha way that it becomes a site for implant placement without removing any bone. Various types of techniqueslike 3 staged approach, one staged approach etc are described for various sites and situation that help inobtaining an adequate width for loading. This article specifically deals with the different types of ridge splittechniques and its description in a simplified manner.

Abstract

An ocular prosthesis is a replacement of the ocular part of the eye in patients due to trauma, benign ormalignant lesion or congenital anomaly, there is the loss of the eye. Prosthetic rehabilitation with a customizedocular prosthesis that is proportioned and similar in appearance to that of the contralateral natural eye isneeded. This maintains the volume of the orbital socket and also helps create an illusion of the presence ofa healthy eye. It provides the individual confidence to adapt to a normal lifestyle and prevent them fromgoing into psychological distress. Various techniques have been advocated for the fabrication of the ocularprosthesis comprising the use of the stock prosthesis, custom made prosthesis and micro-implants for therehabilitation of the ocular part of the eye. A cosmetically approvable and pleasing ocular prosthesis arethose which reproduces the colour, appearance and orientation of the iris to that of the contralateral naturaleye. This clinical report describes a simple, economical and time-saving method for the fabrication of thecustomised ocular prosthesis in a patient with the ocular defect.

Abstract

Dentinal hypersensitivity (DHS) can be defines as a short sharp pain that occurs as a response to variousstimuli on exposure of dentinal tubules to the external environment and which cannot be described as anyother disease. The most important part of the treatment is to identify the etiology behind the sensitivity andtreating the condition accordingly. Differential diagnosis may include pulpitis, carious teeth, chipped tooth,cracked tooth syndrome etc. The treatment modalities depend upon whether the sensitivity is due to gingivalrecession, tooth wear lesion or periodontitis or related causes. This review highlights various strategies tocounter this disease as well discusses various desensitizing agents recently in use like Novamin, Biomin,Calcium phosphate dentifrices, Nanoparticles and herbal desensitizing agents.

Abstract

During endodontic procedures, along with mechanical instrumentation, irrigants are imperative for pathogeneradication. As the strains of pathogens are becoming antibiotic resistant at a constant ascending pace andalso the potentially harmful effect is associated with synthetic drugs, so studies on natural alternatives forirrigation are being done. Chitosan, a natural alternative, has been evaluated as an antimicrobial medicine.Recently, in cases presenting with persistent infections after endodontic treatment, it was noted that of all themicrobial species identified, the prevalence of s.epidermidis was the most. In this current study, an analysisof the antimicrobial effectiveness of chitosan as a potent root canal irrigant, for disinfecting the root canalwas conducted. Methodology: By the serial dilution method, the minimum inhibitory concentration wasdetermined. Dilution of the test solution was done using 10% DMSO solution. After which, incubationin a rotary incubator, at 180 rotations per minute, the temperature of 37?, for 24 hours was done. Forobtaining the zones of inhibition of different concentration (0.2%, 0.5%, 0.75, 1%) of chitosan irrigant, theagar diffusion method was applied and the resultant clear zone was measured with a ruler. Result: Chitosan(liquid) had promising antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis, with a 16 mm zone ofinhibition at 100 µg/ml. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, it was observed that, evenat lower concentrations, chitosan (liquid form) effectively hindered the further growth of S.epidermidis.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to detailedly study the intraosseous (IO) injection in dentistry. Successfultreatment of patients relies on the effective manner of delivering local anaesthesia. The conventional aspiratingsyringe is the widely used method of administration of local anaesthesia. Problems with administrationinclude delays between injection and effect, the long duration and post-operation numbness of patients. Butnewer methods have been developed that can aid in alleviating pain among which intraosseous injection isone. This article also focuses on uses, techniques, advantages, disadvantages, and site of administration ofinjection and duration.
