Abstract

Endodontic plays a major role in uplifting the quality of oral health. Retherapy offers the patient a subsequentprospect to save a tooth that would otherwise be certain for extraction. The prime objective of retherapy isto gain entry to the apical foramen by absolute confiscation of the root canal packing substance thus easingsufficient disinfecting and shaping of the absolute root canal system and terminal obturation. It can beconcluded that with the emergence of modern instruments and techniques it is bygone just to extract teethsolely due to periapical disease and endodontic failures. Advances in scientific proficiency and technicalability have assisted us to improve the prognosis of treatment, but it does not always end up in the desiredhealing response while doing clinical practice

Abstract

The aberrant frenum is usually managed by a common periodontal plastic surgical procedure called frenectomyto create a zone of attached gingiva. This surgical approach may often lead to loss of interdental papillacreating unacceptable esthetic results in the maxillary incisor region. Thus this case reported frenectomycombined with a laterally positioned flap which was a better approach to achieve primary closure. Andthe lateral pedicle sutured in midline provided better and faster healing with excellent esthetic results. Theesthetic results were far more superior then the classical frenectomy technique with a considerable gain inattached gingiva.

Abstract

Aim. The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the dimensional accuracies of five brands ofextended pour irreversible hydrocolloid materials for fixed dental prosthesis impression.Materials and methods. Impressions of a master stainless steel model were made with five extended pourirreversible hydrocolloids and one addition silicone impression material. A total of ninety impressions(n=90) were made, with fifteen for each group of impression material. The stone dies retrieved fromthese impressions were analysed with Baty-Vision Systems - Venture 3D CNC machine, for dimensionalaccuracies. Comparison of continuous data between two groups was done with the Wilcoxon rank-sum test(Mann Whitney U test) and for more than two groups with the Kruskal Wallis test (? = .05)Results. All six impression materials showed some amount of error. On comparison of the median totalabsolute deviation of the various dimension of stone dies, the accuracies of impression materials in decreasingorder appeared to be Neocolloid >> Affinis >> Coltoprint >> Zelgan >> 3M ESPE >> Plastalgin. On thecontrary, a comparison of the impression materials, in terms of several dimensions of stone dies differingsignificantly from the stainless-steel model, the sequence in terms of accuracy was, Coltoprint > Affinis >3MESPE > Neocolloid > Plastalgin > Zelgan.Conclusions. Based on the dimensional accuracies of the stone dies retrieved from the impressions,Neocolloid was found to be the best impression material with the least possible deviation, followed byColtoprint and Affinis.

Abstract

Negligence is specific tort and in any given circumstances is the failure to exercise that care which thecircumstances demand. What amounts to negligence depends on the facts of each particular case. The degreeof care required in a particular case depends upon the surrounding circumstances, and may vary accordingto the amount of risk to be encountered and to the magnitude of the prospective injury. A basic knowledge ofhow judicial forums deal with the cases relating to medical negligence is of absolute necessity for doctors.The need for such knowledge is more now than before. In light of higher premium being placed by the IndianForums on the value of human life and suffering, but sometimes misinterpretations are done deliberatelyor inadvertently when the doctors are charged for culpable homicide not amounting to murder (304 IPC)instead of medical negligence (304 A IPC). A case of medical negligence is being discussed in which agynaecologist has been charged for 304IPC instead of 304A IPC. The scenario was that, the patient died afterreadmission in private hospital, who had delivered a healthy baby, managed properly and discharged by theGynaecologist and suffered undiagnosed complications after discharge at home. The charge was framed thatthe doctor was absent from the hospital and the case was handled by nurses on telephonic conversation withdoctor. Earlier also the doctors had been prosecuted under 304IPC instead of 304A IPC in lower courts andeven high courts (e.g. Jacob Mathews V. State of Punjab, Dr. Suresh Gupta V. Govt. of NCT Delhi). But inmany cases, finally Supreme Court set aside the judgement of high court and held that the doctors could notbe criminally prosecuted.

Abstract

Culture or bacterial culture is the gold standard for diagnostic examination to detect the presence ofmicroorganisms in the patient’s body. The development of culture technology and culture-based automaticdevices for diagnostic examination are widely researched. At present, there are several types of automaticblood culture instruments in Indonesia, namely Vitek 2 and Microscan Walkaway. This research aims toanalyze the suitability of bacterial identification and test antibiotic sensitivity of Microscan Walkaway devicefrom Beckman Coulter and Vitek 2 device from Biomerieux as a gold standard. The research conductedwas an observational cross-sectional study. Sampling was done consecutively. The study sample consistedof 202 samples obtained from the results of positive isolates, during January-July 2019 at Dr. Soetomohospital. Positive isolates were examined for bacterial identification and antibiotic sensitivity using Vitek2 and Microscan Walkaway. The results were statistically analyzed using SPSS. Examination of bacterialidentification using the Microscan device showed 34.2% of Gram-positive bacteria and 65.8% of Gramnegative bacteria, whereas with Vitek 2, results showed 34.7% of Gram-positive bacteria and 65.3% ofGram-negative bacteria. Both of these instruments showed identification accuracy of 98.56% for Grampositive bacteria and 100% for Gram negative bacteria with Kappa value: 0.814 and p <0.0001. The resultsof the accuracy test for antibiotic sensitivity of multidrug resistance bacteria showed compatibility with pvalue <0,0001. There is very good agreement between Vitek 2 and Microscan Walkaway in the identificationof bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity.
