ABSTRACT
Dental caries affect humans of all ages, including all regions of the world and is a disease of the complex interplay of social, behavioral, cultural, dietary, and biological risk factors. The objective of this study was to determine the oral hygiene status and the prevalence of decayed, missing, and filled number of teeth (DMFT index) among madrasa going children of selected area of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. A descriptive type of crosssectional study was conducted by a purposeful selection of some madrasa with a sample size of 251. Data collection were done by four sections. Section one, two and three consist of structured questionnaire and section four resembles to DMFT index which were measured by clinical examination using an examination form. Seventy percent of children had experienced dental caries with mean DMFT score of 1.94. Female children had higher DMFT score than male children. There was a highly significant association between tooth brushing frequency and family income of respondents with caries. We conducted this study in madrasa because up till now such study has not been performed. These data on oral health status and prevalence of DMFT will certainly helps to determine the appropriate treatment plan for madrasa going children. For the benefit of a community, dental health programs need to be conducted repeatedly in order to reach the goals of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Prevalence of Dental Caries, Periodontal Diseases, and Periapical Pathoses among Patients attending a Tertiary Dental Care Center in Central Gujarat: A Hospital-based Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Joshi Manjiri , Tailor Mansi , Pala Ajay 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Dental caries and periodontal disease are the two globally leading oral infections. There is considerable variation in the prevalence of these diseases. Also, these may lead to various periapical pathoses like periapical abscess, cysts, and so on. These may be attributed to differences in age, gender, sample size, geographical distribution, and protocol followed for diagnosis.

Objectives
To estimate the prevalence of dental caries, gingivitis/periodontitis, and periapical pathoses in patients of all ages in a dental institute in central Gujarat.

Materials and methods
After obtaining approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee, a hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out in a dental institute of central Gujarat. A total of 4,642 patients were screened, out of which 2,849 subjects were included in the present study. Intraoral examination was done under all aseptic conditions by using a diagnostic set of instruments by trained professionals and the status of the pathology recorded according to the standard procedure. Data were stored in an Excel spreadsheet for analysis.

Results
It was observed that dental caries/pulp pathoses were more prevalent in the younger age group with mean age 23.1 years. All the other pathoses were observed among the middle age group (above 35 years). Overall prevalence of dental caries/pulp pathoses, gingivitis/periodontitis, and periapical pathoses was observed in 54.8% of males as compared to 45.2% females.

Conclusion
The current study collected significant data for the prevalence of three different odontogenic oral lesions in the central Gujarat geographical location at a tertiary level. There is male preponderance in the prevalence of these diseases in general. There is a need to generate awareness about oral health and the prevention of dental caries and gingivitis/periodontitis and to institute measures for the provision of dental care services at the primary level.

Authors: Pinheiro Tiago N , Arid Juliana , Maciel Aloizio P , Machado André FM , Monteiro Marleno L , Daltoé Mariana de Oliveira 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Ranulas are lesions that affect the salivary glands, and they are generally treated by excision; however, they can recur in some cases where the gland is not removed and they may progress to acute suppurative sialadenitis, yet such cases are rare, especially in children.

Aims
To report clinical management of occurrence of acute suppurative sialadenitis secondary to excisional biopsy of ranula in a child.

Case report
An 11-year-old female patient was diagnosed with ranula where excisional biopsy was performed. Subsequently, the patient developed infection, suggesting Ludwig's angina, after reevaluation, she was diagnosed with acute suppurative sialadenitis in the right mandibular gland; during the follow-up period, antibiotic therapy was introduced.

Conclusion
The close relationship of the biopsy site with the submandibular space and other structures of the neck required the completion of antibacterial prophylaxis associated with preoperative care, transoperative care, and postoperative care to combat opportunistic infections and their subsequent complications.

Clinical Significance
Suppurative sialadenitis and its subsequent complications may be considered, although rare, as a complication in cases of ranula.

Improved Superelastic NiTi wire for the Treatment of Adult Skeletal Class III Malocclusion in a Surgery-first Case
Authors: YU Jian-hong , Tsai Ya-Yu , Fang Chih-Yu 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
A 19-year-old female came to our department with the chief complaint of facial asymmetry. Clinical examination showed skeletal class III relationship with mandibular prognathism, large reverse overjet, lower right mild crowding, and left hemimandibular elongation. After a thorough discussion with the patient, she accepted the proposal of orthognathic surgery and mandibular setback by bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSRO), and therefore, tooth extraction was performed for 18, 28, 38, and 48 before the surgery. An improved superelastic Ti-Ni alloy wire (ISW wire), developed by Tokyo Medical and Dental University, was then used to facilitate the correction of lower crowding. Involved mechanism included intermaxillary elastics for a better interdigitation and jaw relationships. Adequate overbite and overjet were achieved after treatment completion.

Innovative Periodontal Surgery by Monocortical Corticotomy in Management of Bimaxillary Protrusion Cases: A Clinical Study
Authors: Panwar Mohinder , Dubey Dhruv , Kosala Manab 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) is a procedure applying the clinical science of alveolar corticotomy, particulate bone grafting, and the application of orthodontic forces, for accentuated tooth movement. This is theoretically based on the bone healing pattern known as the regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP).
A series of 12 cases, including 8 females and 4 males, were included in the study. The cases were referred from the Department of Orthodontia to the Department of Periodontology, ADC (R&R), having bimaxillary protrusion with an increased overjet. After initial orthodontic alignment, buccal corticotomy procedure was planned. A full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap was reflected from maxillary canine to canine beyond the root apices. Vertical corticotomy cuts were given in the alveolar bone with piezo blades 2 mm apical to the crestal bone in the inter-radicular space midway between the root prominences and were joined by the horizontal cuts apically. Demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) was placed in the surgical area. The flaps were sutured and pack was placed. Orthodontic retraction was started 2 weeks after the corticotomy procedure.
Using this procedure, the treatment objectives were met in just half to one-third of the reported conventional treatment time and the large overjet was reduced to normal. Pre- and posttreatment clinical parameters were recorded, statistically analyzed, and corroborated with similar orthodontic treatment procedures without the use of the corticotomy technique.
The present periodontal (PDL) intervention results in quick and stable results for the correction of bimaxillary protrusion cases. It enhances the esthetics and posttreatment orthodontic stability.

Authors: Bakhtiari Sedigheh , Azimi Somayyeh , Mansouri Zahra , Kruger Estie , Tennant Marc , Namdari Mahshid 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
Smoking is a significant source of oxidative stress. Also, the disruption in equilibrium between free-oxygen radicals and antioxidants plays a pivotal role in the progression of periodontal inflammation. Green tea with antioxidant potential might have an effect on periodontal disease. This study evaluated the periodontal status in different groups of smokers compared with nonsmokers and investigates the association with salivary antioxidant levels after a period of green tea consumption.

Materials and methods
In this interventional study, 60 healthy males, including 20 light and 20 heavy cigarette smokers and 20 control nonsmokers, participated. Periodontal status was determined by the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) at the beginning of the study. All participants were asked to consume a total of two cups of green tea (4 gm) per day. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of saliva was measured at baseline and after 21 days. Statistical evaluation was done by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 software.

Results
The Pearson correlation coefficient between CPITN and salivary TAC showed significant correlation in light and heavy smokers (p = 0.001 and p = 0.003 respectively). Changes in salivary TAC from baseline to day 21, after green tea consumption, in subjects with CPITN ≤ 18 were 139 (± 61.5), and 66.16 (± 67.37) in subjects with CPITN > 18. There was a significant interaction effect between time of TAC evaluation and patients' periodontal state (p = 0.009).

Conclusion
This study confirmed the association between periodontal status and smoking, and the association with salivary antioxidant capacity. A significant alteration in TAC of whole saliva in cases with clinical periodontal problems after green tea consumption was indicated.

Clinical significance
Considering the safety and availability of green tea, it can be used as a preventive or supplementary treatment in periodontal problems, especially in smokers, after further investigation.

A Combined Interdisciplinary Expertise for the Treatment of Patients with Worn-out Dentition: Report of Two Cases
Authors: Narang Sumit , Shetty Sunaina , Parihar Anuj 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The gradual wear of the occlusal surfaces of teeth is a normal process during the lifetime of a patient. However, severe occlusal wear can lead to pulpal pathology, occlusal disharmony, impaired function, and esthetic disfigurement. Full mouth rehabilitation is re-establishing a state of functional efficiency in which the teeth and their periodontal structures, the muscles of mastication, and the temporomandibular joint mechanisms all function together in synchronous harmony. Patients with worn out dentition and collapsed occlusion require extensive dental procedure to achieve aesthetics, appropriate function and comfort. This clinical report describes a patient with worn out dentition. Patient underwent interdisciplinary approaches. Endodontic treatment was taken up first so as to take care of all the exposed teeth due to occlusal wear, followed by periodontal rehabilitation for pocket elimination and finally by prosthetic reconstruction.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTFibromas are benign tumors that are composed of fibrous connective tissue. Fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) is a histological variant of fibroma that causes esthetic and functional problems. They may arise anywhere in the oral cavity, but are more commonly seen in the gingiva, tongue, and lip. Generally small and painless, they rarely continue to grow and might resemble other malignant lesions. This article reports an unusual case of a huge intraoral FEP that presented as a cauliflower-shaped lesion mimicking other neoplastic lesions. Laser excision was carried out following which histopathological examination revealed it as an inflamed FEP with ulceration.How to cite this articlePaul S, Pudukulangara A, Kulal R, Sambashivaiah S.

Reduction Efficacy in Aerosol Production using 0.2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate Mouthwash in Dental Waterlines: A Clinicomicrobiological Study
Authors: Kasagani Suresh K , Rao Aditya G , Ahmed Kafeel , Fatima Ghousia , Tapashetti Roopali 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Aerosol is a suspension of solid or liquid particles containing bacteria or viruses, suspended for at least a few seconds in a gas. The aerosol generated by an ultrasonic scaler contains microorganisms that can penetrate into the body through the respiratory system of dental surgeons and patients. The oral cavity harbors numerous bacteria and viruses from the respiratory tract, dental plaque, and oral fluids. Any dental procedure that has a potential to aerosolize saliva will cause airborne contamination with organisms.

Aim
To evaluate and compare the reduction efficacy in the levels of aerosol production at 1 foot, 5 feet, and 10 feet distance using 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash in dental waterlines.

Materials and methods
This single-center, randomized, two-group parallel design study was conducted over a period of 20 days. Twenty patients with chronic periodontitis were randomly divided into two groups: Test group and control group. Both the group samples were subjected to ultrasonic scaling. In the test group, 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash was added in the water dispenser bottle, whereas in the control group, distilled water was used. Blood agar plates were kept at distances of 1 foot, 5 feet, and 10 feet away from the headrest of the dental chair. Blood agar plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 hours, and the total number of colony-forming units (CFUs) was counted and statistically analyzed.

Results
The results of this study revealed that the experimental group showed higher reduction efficacy for aerosol production at 1 foot, 5 feet, and 10 feet distance from the center of the headrest of the dental chair compared with the control group. The results of this study also revealed that the number of CFUs was statistically significant only at 1 foot distance (p = 0.009) from the center of the headrest of the dental chair and not at 5 feet (p = 0.122) and 10 feet (p = 0.507) distances for both the groups.

Conclusion
This present study shows that the patient's chest area at a distance of 1 foot from the center of the headrest of dental chair receives a greater number of microorganisms than that at distances of 5 feet and 10 feet from the headrest of the dental chair. This validates the use of chlorhexidine in the form of an irrigant in dental waterlines as an additional barrier to cross-contamination, minimizing the risk to team members and the patient.

Authors: Kasagani Suresh K , Fatima Ghousia , Tapashetti Roopali , Rao Aditya , Rajan Suma 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Studies in the past investigated the role played by minerals in the etiology and/or progression of periodontal disease for more than four decades. Various host defense factors are present in the saliva. It also influences calculus formation and thus periodontal disease. Recent studies have shown a significant relationship between dietary calcium, serum calcium, and periodontal disease. Smoking marks a major risk factor for both periodontal disease and several systemic diseases. So, the aim of the present study is to estimate salivary and serum calcium levels in smokers and nonsmokers with chronic periodontitis.

Materials and methods
The study comprised 30 subjects, equally divided into three groups of clinically healthy periodontium, nonsmokers with chronic periodontitis, and smokers with chronic periodontitis. Clinical measurements, saliva, and blood samples were obtained. Biochemical analysis for the estimation of calcium was performed. Blood samples were collected through venipuncture method.

Results
Comparison of mean serum calcium between the three groups by analysis of variance showed highly statistically significant difference (F = 23.92, p = 0.001).

Conclusion
Smokers with periodontitis exhibited reduced levels of calcium as compared with nonsmokers with periodontitis and the differences were statistically significant.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
In the past, shaping of root canals was done using stainless steel (SS) hand files. The introduction of rotary instrumentation has revolutionized the art and science of endodontic practice in the last decade with predictable success. The rotary files have been subjected to constant evolution in the form of metallurgy, design features, and the manner in which these instruments are driven (rotary/reciprocation), etc., resulting in revolution, both within the canal and in the area of contemporary endodontics. The purpose of this review is to identify publications regarding the evaluation, to present comprehensive and critical summaries of current knowledge, and to provide an update of the rotary and reciprocating concept, which is new and which is true.
