Clinicopathological Correlation between Peripheral Blood Eosinophilia and Inferior Turbinate Tissue Eosinophils
Authors: Santosh UP , Pandurangi Aniketh Shyamsunder 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Background and objectives
Allergic rhinitis affects up to 20% of the general population and is one of the most common reasons for presentations to the outpatient department. We hereby present a case series which attempts to have a correlation between tissue eosinophilia (inferior turbinate) and increased eosinophil count in blood (>440 cells/mm3).

Materials and methods
Thirty-six patients presented to the Outpatient Department of Bapuji Hospital and Chigateri General Hospital (Teaching Hospitals attached to JJM Medical College), Davangere, with nasal obstruction and symptoms suggestive of allergic rhinitis with turbinate hypertrophy who were posted for elective bilateral partial inferior turbinectomy with/without submucous resection/septoplasty. These patients had increased absolute eosinophil count in blood. Formalin fixed inferior turbinectomy specimens were routinely processed for histopathology. Eosinophils in the mucosa and submucosal region were counted by method of Shioda and Mishima.

Results
Ten patients out of 36 showing increased eosinophil count in blood show ‘significant eosinophilia’ in turbinates (27.7%).

Conclusion
Peripheral eosinophilia does not always correlate with tissue eosinophilia which opens up a possibility of using nasal mucosa biopsy for confirmation of presence of eosinophils. Further studies are needed to explore the demonstration of ‘activated’ tissue eosinophils in the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis.

To present management dilemma in a challenging case of a benign orbitomaxillary pseudotumor and its importance of inclusion in the differential diagnosis of orbital disorders.

Design
Case Report

Setting
Private multispecialty hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal.

Patient
A 36-year-old female patient with 1 year history of orbitomaxillary mass, deviation and protrusion of left eyeball, diplopia and left sided headache.

Results
Resection of entire orbitomaxillary mass performed after assessing history, clinical and radiologic presentation of the case. Biopsy report came as mixed inflammatory lesion. Appropriate surgical intervention resulted in a dramatic improvement in patient's clinical condition. At present, patient is disease-free and asymptomatic.

Conclusion

Hidden incisions on the face—use of Transconjunctival approach in management of Orbito-Zygomatico-Maxillary complex fractures.
Authors: Tauro David P. , Bharani Siva , Kumar Saurabh , Laksmi Subha 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Anatomic reduction of the Orbito-Zygomatico-Maxillary complex is necessary to reestablish facial symmetry, position of the globe and to restore normal sensations to the structures innervated by the infraorbital nerve. The face is the primary area of cosmesis, and the surgeon must balance the exposure needed for access and treatment with the esthetic demands of the patient. There are several popular incisions used to gain access to the orbito-zygomatico maxillary complex region: the infraorbital, the subciliary, and the transconjunctival incisions. The transconjunctival approach with a lateral canthotomy (swinging lid) is the workhorse of approaches to the orbit in the management of orbital trauma. This approach provides a wide exposure for treatment of floor fractures and minimizes the risk of lower lid malpositioning and most importantly avoid the perceptible scar on the face.
We report a case of OZM complex fracture, in which transconjunctival approach was used to access the infraorbital and the lateral orbital rim for the fracture reduction and discuss the surgical technique and associated advantages of this approach.

Authors: Donoghue Mandana , Selvamani M , Annigeri Rajeshwari G. , Madhushankari G.S , Dev A. Yamuna , Kamath Rajay A.D. 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Granular cell ameloblastoma is a rare variant, accounting for 1-5% (3.5%) of ameloblastomas. It has clinical behavior similar to other subtypes, and show high tendency to recur on conservative surgical approaches. It can also show metastasis, hence the treatment plan should include regular follow up of the patients, after radical surgery. Here we are presenting a case report of granular cell ameloblastoma occurring in a 45 years old male patient clinically, the lesion was occurring in the left posterior mandible creating soap bubble appearance on radiography. Histopathologically, granular cell changes were prominent. The granular appearance is due to lysosomal aggregation and their presence indicates degenerative change or related to aging phenomenon rather than aggressiveness. The lesion was treated by surgical resection and a period of 3 years follow up showed no recurrence.
Resect To Restore: Hemisection - A Case Report
Authors: Madhudi Vishwas Sangappa 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Hemisection is a corrective periradicular surgery, carried usually in mandibular molars to preserve the maximum amount of supporting structures of the natural dentition in a state of health and function.
Hemisection is done in mandibular molars wherein one of the two roots is devoid of bone and periodontal support. The main intention of hemisection is to retain a part of tooth root while removing the deceased part, which has a poor prognosis.
In this article hemisection for a left mandibular molar with Grade I mobility and no migration of the affected tooth No.36, with exudation from the pocket is described and discussed as a treatment approach for a lesion of primary periodontal origin with secondary endodontic involvement, similar to observations made by Hamp et a19.
The indications advantages and limitations of hemisection as well as recommended literature on the subject are discussed.
Treatment Of Radiation Mucositis-An Inevitable Entity
Authors: Kini Prajna V , Annigeri Rajeshwari G , Mamatha G P 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Oral mucositis is a frequent adverse reaction of radiation therapy of head and neck malignancies. The incidence and severity of these sequelae of radiation have increased with the use of altered fractionated schedules and concurrent chemotherapy. Mucositis may confine the patient's tolerance of antineoplastic therapy, and the nutritional status is endangered. Thus, the cancer treatment may be dramatically affected along with the patient's quality of life. In order to prevent and treat this condition many treatment options are available, but the complete, effective prevention and therapy cannot be achieved. Research leading to a better understanding of the mechanisms of mucosal injury will ideally result in more specific, more targeted, and effective strategies for prevention of mucositis rather than current management algorithms that rely primarily on costly symptom management.

Authors: Bassvanna R.S. , Gohil Chitra 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Management of non vital teeth with open apices isa challenge to the dental practitioners. In this clinical scenario, it is difficult to maintain the obturating material confine within the root canal without encroaching into periapical area. These kinds of cases cannot be managed by conventional endodontic treatment, and treatment of such cases with calcium hydroxide may take longer time for apical closure. But with this new material called BIODENTINE (Septodont) same treatment can be done in single visit with predictable result. Hence this case report present the use ofbiodentine to form an apical plug in open apex followed by complete root canal obturation using thermoplasticized guttapercha.

Authors: Shivanna Vasundhara , Nilegaonkar Rucha 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Introduction
Daily application of mouth rinses has been recommended for the prevention and control of caries and periodontal disease.

Aims & Objectives
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of alcohol-containing and alcohol-free mouth rinses on the microhardness of three restorative materials – resin composite (Filtek Z350XT), light cure glass ionomer cement (Vitremer) and conventional restorative glass ionomer cement (GC Fuji II).

Methods
Twenty samples of each restorative material were fabricated and their microhardness values were checked at 100g load and 15 seconds dwell time. Ten samples of each restorative material were stored in alcohol containing mouth rinse (Listerine) and ten samples each were stored in alcohol free mouth rinse (Hiora) for 12 hours. At the end of the test period microhardness was measured with a Vickers microhardness tester.

Results
Alcohol containing mouth rinses reduced the microhardness values of composite and light cure glass ionomer significantly more than alcohol free mouth rinses. Reduction in the microhardness value of conventional restorative glass ionomer cement was similar for both alcohol containing and alcohol free mouth rinses.

Conclusion
Both mouth rinses showed reduction in microhardness values of all three restorative materials, with more reduction caused due to alcohol containing mouth rinses in composite and light cure glass ionomer.

Management of anterior teeth crossbite using double cantilever spring with posterior bite plane - A case report
Authors: Ananthraj. A , Ashwini. B.L 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Anterior dental crossbites are one of the most common orthodontic problems that we observe in growing children. Anterior crossbite correction in early mixed dentition is highly recommended as this kind ofmalocclusion do not diminish with age. Uncorrected anterior crossbite may lead to abnormal wear of the lower incisors, dental compensation of mandibular incisors leading to thinning of labial alveolar plate and/or gingival recession. There are several methods for solving this problem. This paper reports a n case of anterior crossbite, which was corrected using the Hawley's appliance with double cantilever spring in a short period of 3 – 4 weeks without causing any damage to the tooth or the periodontium.

Conclusion
Dental anterior cross-bite involving one or more teeth can be corrected by means of double cantilever spring with posterior bite plane.

Role of maxillary and mandibular canine indices in sex determination: Perspective of a forensic odontologist
Authors: Pramod RC , Vibuthe Nupura , Suresh KV , Shetty Sharan J , Shetty Neha 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Introduction
Dental evidence is valuable in identification of individuals, especially following mass disasters. Canines are found to exhibit the greatest sexual dimorphism amongst all teeth.

Objective
To investigate the accuracy with which gender can be differentiated by using the maxillary and mandibular canine indices in an Indian population.

Material and Methods
The present study was performed on 200 subjects (100 males, 100females) between the age group of 18-25 years, randomly sampled with informed consent (Through 3rd party).

Results
Males showed greater mean mesiodistal dimensions for each tooth in comparison to females in both maxillary and mandibular arches. When the level of accuracy for sex determination was measured using maxillary canine index it was found that 55% females and 60% males were classified correctly. The level of accuracy for sex determination using mandibular canine index found 67% females and 78% males were classified correctly.

Conclusion
canine indices are a quick and reliable method for sexual identification when a standard for the population is available. With these calculations, we could predict the sex correctly at 72.5% and 57.5 % in this study for mandibular and maxillary canine indices respectively. This method can be used as adjunct to other available tools for sex

Thickness of the epithelium and the inflammatory cell infiltrate in oral lichen planus. A morphometric study
Authors: Nandini D.B , Ramya VV 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Background
Oral lichen planus is a chronic mucocutaneous disease of uncertain etiology. Inflammatory cell infiltrate plays an important role in pathogenesis of oral lichen planus. It is said that hyperplastic epithelium is seen where the inflammatory cell infiltrate is mild while beneath atrophic epithelium dense inflammatory cell infiltrate is evident. Studies have shown negative correlation between thickness of the epithelium and thickness of inflammatory cell infiltrate. Morphometric studies in oral lichen planus are very scanty and have been performed using stage micrometer and eye piece graticule. Using Image Analysis Software can avoid inter-observer variations which has not been done till date.

Aim and Objectives
The present study aimed at evaluating thickness of epithelium and thickness of inflammatory cell infiltrate and to determine any existing relation between the same using Image Analysis Software. Other histopathologic features were also evaluated.

Materials and method
58 confirmed cases of oral lichen planus from buccal mucosa were retrieved from department archives. 6μ thick sections were stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin. Six non-overlapping fields were selected randomly from each section and photomicrographs were captured under 4x objective using Trinocular Research Microscope. Morphometry was done using Image Analysis Software and data was stored in Microsoft excel for statistical analysis.

Results
In present study the mean of epithelium thickness was 281.2059 and inflammatory cell infiltrate thickness was 330.2540. An inverse correlation was observed. As the thickness of inflammatory cell infiltrate increased there was a decrease in thickness of epithelium (Coefficient -0.156).

Conclusion
Thickness of the epithelium may vary according to the site, however in this study all cases were from buccal mucosa. Inflammatory cell infiltrate influences overlying thickness of epithelium and determines its nature.

Management of an erupted mesiodens causing severe displacement of maxillary permanent central incisor
Authors: Patil Disha , Roshan NM 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth occurring in the anterior maxilla, located between the maxillary central incisors. Extraction of a mesiodens at a time appropriate for promoting self-eruption in the early mixed dentition may result in better alignment of the teeth and may minimize the need for orthodontic treatment. This case report features management of erupted mesiodens which caused the permanent maxillary right central incisor to be displaced labially in a ten year old female who was treated successfully by timely intervention in her mixed dentition.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Background
Chlorhexidine mouth wash has been used for decades, however, it remains contraindicated in children and teenagers. On the other hand, the anti-microbial properties of plant derived compounds are well documented.

Aim
To compare, in vivo the efficacy and effectiveness of aqueous fruit extract of Terminalia chebula and Chlorhexidine oral rinse as an anti caries agent in children.

Materials and Methods
30 children in the age groups of 13 - 19 years were randomly selected for the study. The efficacy of the two agents (Terminalia Chebula and Chlorhexidine) as anti caries agents was assessed by evaluating the salivary pH and the salivary buffering capacity. The values obtained were subjected to statistical analysis.

Results
A percentage improvement in buffering capacity was noted with Terminalia chebula when compared to Chlorhexidine mouthwash which indicated potential long term effects. The pH of both Terminalia chebula and Chlorhexidine did not show any significant difference.

Conclusion
Terminalia chebula can suitably be used as an anti-carious oral rinse and does not have any side effects such as erosion and staining.

Authors: Hajira Neha , Wadhwani Ashwini , Kumar G. Vinaya 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
In many areas of dental practice which involves exposure to blood and other body fluids, there is growing concern regarding improvements in cross-infection control. There is a need for disinfection methods to be effective while also being cheap, rapid, non-toxic, broad spectrum and easy to practice. Impression materials used in prosthodontics cannot be heat sterilized and are often damaged by chemical disinfection. In recent advances, ultraviolet disinfection method has begun to prove its effectiveness to control contamination of impression materials by killing microbes while preserving the quality of material. This scientific paper to be presented is on a study conducted to evaluate the effect of ultraviolet disinfection on the dimensional stability and infection control of elastomeric impression materials.

Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Chronic Tendinopathy
Authors: Sivan Manoj , Brown James 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is increasingly being used in the treatment of chronic tendinopathy in both sporting and sedentary population. It is rich source of various growth factors and is believed to stimulate and enhance the tissue repair process in tendinopathy. The current literature has six clinical studies (excluding single case studies) which have investigated the effect of PRP in tendinopathy of various tendons. The evidence so far is inconclusive in demonstrating the superiority of PRP over placebo injection or eccentric loading exercises. Future research should focus on conducting randomised controlled studies to establish the clinical effect and support or refute the current widespread use of PRP in chronic tendinopathy.
