Published: July 2023

Objective: Therefore, the basic aim of this study is to look into the differences in the pattern of congenitally missing teeth on basis of type of teeth involved (upper permanent lateral incisor [MLI] and upper second premolar [MSP]) among males and females in patients with cleft lip and palate [CLP] visiting the Department of Orthodontics at Khyber College of Dentistry, Peshawar.
Materials and Methods: Data from clinical, radiographic & cast analysis of 50 patients with cleft defect (aged 6-15 years) was utilized in this study. Frequencies and percentages of missing MLIs and missing MSPs were calculated. The two teeth in question i.e MLI and MSP were compared via Pearson Chi-Square test on basis of gender. P<0.05 was considered significant. The entire data was interpreted in tabular form.
Results: From the 50 patients having CLP defect, MLIs were found to be missing in 68.0% cases, 46.0% had absent MSPs and 33.30% were found to have both MLIs and MSPs missing. High proportion of males had congenitally absent teeth as compared to females. Boys had a higher ratio of congenitally absent MLIs and MSPs than girls. Outcome of the study showed gender predominance of congenitally absent MLIs & MSPs.
Conclusion: These upshots imply that maxillary lateral incisor is the frequently absent tooth in patients with cleft deformity succeeded by maxillary 2nd premolar and this pattern of congenitally missing teeth might be influenced by the gender.
COVID 19, AS CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITY IN DENTAL PRACTICE
Authors: Associate. Prof. Dr. Sultan Zeb Khan
Published: July 2023

A novel coronavirus announced as the etiologic pathogen of COVID 19, on 8th Jan 2020. WHO also declared the outbreak of COVID 19 as public Health Emergency on 30th Jan 2020. It is a highly contagious disease, and the main route of transmission of the virus is air born respiratory droplets through close personal contact. In routine dental procedures, a large number of droplets and aerosols could are generated and considered as the most common cause of spread. Due to the fact, the dental practice has been placed at the top of the high-risk profession in COVID pandemic. It has challenged the dental professionals at large. It has created not only health concerns but financial loss, compromise in the dental health delivery system, and wastage of human resources and dental auxiliaries.

Effective Infection Control Protocols like Hand washing is considered the most beneficial measure for reducing the risk of transmitting microorganism. Thorough disinfection of all surfaces within the dental operatory and the use of personal protective equipment, including N 95 masks, gloves, gowns, and goggles and face shields, recommended to protect skin and mucosa from contaminated instruments, blood, and other secretions. No one can predict the future of pandemic, but there is a lot of speculation about clinical dental practice in the future if we have to live with COVID 19.

In the past, the casual approach of general dental practitioners especially in rural and small towns, where the involvement of unauthorized people in dental practice and lack of resources like high tech autoclave and electricity has led to the common perception of the spread of infection being related to the dental procedures. Now with the COVID pandemic, the dental practitioners at large have realized the importance of protective measures and adherence to strict protocols. Hopefully, the future dentistry will be different, a little more expensive but the patient safety will be prioritized by all means.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare transosseous wiring and mini plates in the management of anterior mandibular fractures.
Materials and Methods: A total of 200 participants were included in the study (100 in each Group).Patients in Group A were subjected to transosseous wiring with maxillomandibular fixation. Patients in group B were subjected to miniplate fixation. Patients’ follow up was done on the first, second, fourth, and eighth week for the assessment of infection and malocclusion and were recorded.
Results: In this study, the mean age was 30 years with standard deviation ± 1.62. Sixty percent of the patients were male, and 40% of patients were female. Regarding the infection in the Transosseous wiring group, the postoperative infection was found in 15(15%) patients, and in the Mini plates group, the postoperative infection was found in 4(4%) patients. While malocclusion in Transosseous Group, postoperative malocclusion was found in 10(10%) patients, and mini plates group postoperative malocclusion was found in one patient(1%).
Conclusion: The major operative morbidity proved to be infection followed by a malocclusion. As the rate of infection and malocclusion was found more in transosseous wiring as compare to mini plates, which concludes that Mini plates technique is best than transosseous wiring technique in the management of anterior mandibular fractures.

Published: July 2023

Objective:

To determine the radiological parameters of COVID-19 patients based on CO-RADS classification and to compare the RT-PCR with chest CT.

Materials and Methods:

This cross sectional study involved 180 participants who were hospitalised in COVID Unit of Farooq Hospital, West Wood, Lahore from April 2020 to July 2020. Data was collected from suspected COVID-19 patients who were subjected to CT chest and RT-PCR. SPSS version 22.0 was used to analyse the data. Frequency and percentages were calculated for categorical variables while mean and standard deviation was calculated for numerical veriables.

Results:

Of the total 180 patients, there was frequent manifestation of ground-glass opacities (GGOs) 168 (93%) followed by consolidation 121(67%) and reticulation/thickened interlobular septa 41 (23%) in radiological features of our study. Whereas, nodular lesions were completely absent. The highest number of patients 132 (73%) were in CO-RADS 5 classification. GGOs 126 (95%); and consolidations 93 (77%) were also highest in CO-RADS 5. Only 143(79%) of total RT-PCR tests were positive when compared with chest CT 158(88%).

Conclusion:

CO-RADS categorical assessment scheme indicates a significant prevalence of GGOs in COVID-19 patients. RT-PCR of most of the patients was negative at the time of admission but on radiological analysis they had positive CT findings suggestive of COVID-19.

Published: July 2023

Objective:

To assess the possible risk factors that contribute to early dental implant failures in a teaching hospital.

Materials and Methods:

This cross sectional study evaluated past records of the 24 patients treated with 53 dental implants and were divided into two groups, one with failed dental implants before occlusal loading and the other with successful implants. Variables such as Age, gender, location of implants (maxilla or mandible), type of implant healing (single or double stage) and timing of implant placement (fresh extraction sockets or healed sites) were assessed.

Results:

About 4 (7.5%) out of 53 dental implants failed to osseointegrate before the prosthetic phase. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant p= 0.032 regarding the healing of dental implant (single or double stage), however, it was not significant in terms of age, gender, site and timing of implant p>0.05.

Conclusion:

Single stage implant surgery may be an important risk factor for early Implant failure however, more studies with larger sample size should be done to investigate risk factors that contribute to early failures.
