Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the awareness of most commonly used drugs in dentistry inducing teratogenic effects, among dental practitioners. Birth defects may be caused by many factors such as physical conditions, teratogens, environmental exposures, genetic defects, etc., Although prescription drug use is common during pregnancy, the human teratogenic risks are undetermined for more than 90% drug treatments approved in the USA during the past decades. A particular birth defect may have its origins through multiple mechanisms and possible exposures including medications. A specific chemical process may result in different outcomes depending upon factors such as embryonic age at which a drug is administered, duration and dose of exposure and genetic susceptibility. Estimating the risk of fetal malformations attribute to the use of medications is difficult and perception of risk by health professionals will impact their counseling and treatment of patients. Pregnancy is a unique physiologic condition and importantly specific drugs like folic acid use may have several benefits for pregnant mother. The patient should maintain a good gynecologist patient-Dentist communication. For example a woman with two spontaneous abortions would be expected to be skeptical of any drug therapy in her next pregnancy and by communicating this to physicians and respective clinician. She may influence the physician and dentist perception. The clinician should be aware of all the newer drugs and its teratogenic effects. For health professionals this includes awareness of specific drug information and sources that provide realistic descriptions of risk beyond product monographs. A greater focus on this aspect may act to balance Risk perceptions. Physicians and dentists need to weigh risks and benefits of drug prescribing to pregnant patients based on the available knowledge.

Abstract

Dentistry leaning towards esthetic restorations have made shade matching a crucial step in fabrication of restorations. It is important to ensure the restorations have the accurate shade, this warrants for a successful treatment. This study aims to evaluate the effect on the color of the shade tabs after disinfection. Shade tab guides from two different shade tabs were used and exposed to three different disinfectants. A Spectrophotometer analysis was done to check for the absorbance value after exposure to the disinfectants. The results showed maximum changes occurred after exposure to sodium hypochlorite. The changes observed increased with increase in the exposure time of the shade guides to the disinfectants. Thus, a standard protocol should be followed in clinics regarding disinfection of shade tabs and ensure a change in the shade guides after three to five years span.

Abstract

Background : Medical course and dentistry have always been considered to be stressful to the students because of its depth, diversity and competitiveness. These are very extensive course spread 4 to 5 years in India. Stress sometimes can lead to anger, which cause even more stress. Prolonged stress and anger can take a toll on the students, both physically and emotionally. It is important to eliminate them by attempting control management and implication of positive coping strategies Aim : This study aims to investigate level and source of stress, anger, anxiety, depression and associated coping mechanisms among dental students Material and method : A link to an online questionnaires conducted through Surveymonkey was distributed among all third-year, fourth-year and final-year students. Result : The first major stressor for the dental students was clinical requirements (61.3%) followed by patient’s behavior, peer pressure/competitiveness, education program and language barrier. Taking some time off to rest (20.3%), talking to a friend (%23.9) and listening to music (19%) were the most commonly reported coping mechanisms (Table 3). Conclusion : The primary sources of stress as perceived by the dental students were peer pressure/ competitiveness, patient’s behavior and clinical requirements. In the present study, female dental students reported higher stress levels and a wider range of coping than male students, hence a stress management program should be implemented that focusing towards dental students. The preventive and intervention must be sought and directed as this need early in the student years.

Abstract

Background: Complete denture help to re-establish the occlusion and aesthetic to such extent it mimic the previously missing teeth and other features which may be lose over the time. In a complete denture wearer, saliva is responsible for the retention of the prosthesis due to its lubricating function. It also aid in integrity, adhesion and stabilisation of dentures in position after the placement. It act as interposed salivary film which allowed the prosthesis to lie on the film rather than on the bare mucosa. This would help to protect the tissues from the hydration and forces of the denture base that acting on it. Therefore, maintaining normal pH and salivary flow rate is required, in order to achieve a better retention of denture as well as good oral health. Aim: To investigate the relationship between the salivary flow rate before and after the placement of complete denture. Materials and Method: There were 15 participants in the age group of 55 to 70 years old, which required complete denture prosthesis for the first time. The unstimulated or resting whole saliva and stimulated whole saliva was collected by using spitting method. Saliva production was stimulated by chewing paraffin wax. The time taken for saliva collection of 5 mL was recorded by using stopwatch. The data obtained was analysed by using paired t-test. Results: There was significant difference between the unstimulated whole salivary flow rate and stimulated whole salivary flow rate before the placement of the denture, which was by 0.20 mL/min. Whereas, the difference between the unstimulated whole salivary flow rate and stimulated whole salivary flow rate after the placement also show significant changes which was about 0.14 mL/min. Chewing of paraffin wax as well as placement of denture act as stimulatory agents in production of saliva. Conclusion: Stimulated salivary flow rate were higher than the unstimulated salivary flow rate which obtained before and immediately after the placement of complete denture. There was significant differences of the salivary flow rate before and after the placement of denture.

Abstract

Forensic dentistry is the connection between the dental professions and forensic professions. In fact, the teeth and jaws are highly resistant to degradation and decomposition by postmortem. For a number of different reasons and situations such as mass disasters, in criminal investigations and in the case of disfigured bodies due to fire and vehicle accidents, dental identification of humans happens. The different methods include x-rays, antemortem & post-mortem photographs, tooth prints, palatal rugae, lip printing, bite marking and molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction for pulp DNA analysis.
