Glial Heterotopia of Sphenoid in Association with a Patent Sternberg's Canal presenting with Meningitis
Authors: Suma R , Jeena KJ , Pavithran VM , Govindan A 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Ectopic glial tissue, presenting at various sites of body is a rare embryonic developmental anomaly. Very few cases are reported in adults, most being incidentally detected, revealed only by histopathological findings. One of the rarest locations is the sphenoid sinus.
We present here the case of a middle aged female, presenting with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea and meningitis. With the radiological finding of a soft tissue density in sphenoid sinus with erosion of left temporal skull base, she underwent lateral craniotomy, with excision of the mass and middle cranial fossa floor repair. Histopathology revealed a heterotopic glial tissue. Peroperative finding of a well-defined defect in the lateral wall of an extensively pneumatized sphenoid showed typical features of a patent Sternberg's canal.
This case could be a living proof for the existence of this rare developmental anomaly. A persisting Sternberg's canal should be considered as the source of spontaneous CSF leaks with or without lesions in sphenoid sinuses with extensive lateral pneumatization. Most of the cases may be treated with an extended endoscopic approach. Extreme lateral lesions like this would benefit most from a craniotomy approach for proper closure of skullbase defect. Three years after successful surgery, she remains symptom free.
Anxiety Measurements among Dental Students undergoing Third Molar Removal
Authors: Pattanshetti Channaveer , Desai Rajendra 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Background and objective
This study was conducted to quantify the anxiety associated with third molar extraction in dental students. And to compare the anxiety levels between males and females, among impacted and non-impacted groups.

Methods
The study included 100 dental students who reported to Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dental Sciences, requiring mandibular third molar removal. Only those patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. The anxiety levels were evaluated based on the scores of the Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale.

Results
Results showed scores among female patients was higher than males; however the difference between male and female patients was statistically not significant. Among impacted and non-impacted groups score was higher among the impacted group, but the difference between impacted and non-impacted groups was statistically not significant too.

Conclusion
To conclude, maxillofacial surgeons should consider patients who visit dental offices for third molar impaction surgery as most prone to anxiety which could either result from conditioning or learned responses from their peers. Noteworthy, prior awareness of the patient's psychologic makeup and susceptibility to anxiety may be of value, thus enabling appropriate therapy and improved recovery postoperatively.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Terrorism refers to the use or threat of force or violence against people or property. Bioterrorism is the term used for terroristic activities in which biological substances are used to cause harm to other people. Bioterrorism is a combination of biological warfare and terrorism and due to particular events bioterrorism has received lot of attention recently. A bioterrorist attack releases viruses, bacteria, or other germs to cause illness or death. These biological agents are typically found in nature. But they can sometimes be made more harmful by increasing their ability to cause or spread disease, or to resist medical treatment. This review will enlighten the potential role of various health sciences, in particular we; dentists, in combating bioterrorism.
TOOTH SUPPORTED OVER DENTURE - AN APPROACH TO PREVENTIVE PROSTHODONTIC: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Setty Manasali Bheema , Ramesh Nadiger K. , Saquib Shaik A 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Over denture is favoured treatment modality for an elderly patient with few remaining teeth, because of adaptation to wearing is facilitated. Roots maintained under the denture base preserve the alveolar ridge, provide sensory feedback and improve the stability of the dentures. In comparison with complete dentures, overdentures may provide better functions. The most common problem of mandibular complete denture is retention & stability and alveolar ridge resorption; hence care must be taken to preserve it.
Minimally Invasive Demineralized Hard Tissue Repair: Remineralization
Authors: Dhanyakumar N.M. , Jayakumar T , Khaitan Anshuman 
Published: July 2019

AbstractCaries is a disease caused by a multifactorial process and it remains a major public health problem in most communities even though the prevalence of the disease has decreased. One of the recent trends in caries control includes minimally invasive treatment of the lesions by reversal of mineral loss by remineralization. Restorative treatment options are advised only when the carious process has resulted in more extensive damage, and form, function or esthetics need to be restored. This article reviews the various remineralization stratezies and their role in remineralizing tooth structure.
Microwave Histotechnology Vs Conventional Histotechnology: A Review
Authors: Selvamani M , Shruthi B S , Kumar P Vinodh 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Turnaround time is an important consideration in surgical pathology. Attempts to shorten the time necessary for making a histopathological slide from the surgical tissue has been tried in various ways since many decades without compromising the quality of it. One amongst such attempt is the introduction of microwave to the field of his totechnology.
Microwaves, a form of electromagnetic wave induced heat when applied in histotechnology, reproducibly yields histolologic material of similar or superior quality to that provided by conventional processing methods making it more popular in the recent years. A laboratory microwave offers features like maximum output of 2000-3000 watts, an in built source of adjustable temperature probe, facility for ventilation of hazardous fumes, but is expensive. Considering the usefulness of microwave in histotechnology by reducing the time required for the diagnosis, replacing the conventional equipments of laboratories to microwave guided ones is a remarkable and an acceptable change.
ANTERIOR LOOP CONNECTOR FIXED PARTIAL DENTURE IN REPLACING MISSING CENTRAL INCISOR: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Hiremath Vinutha , Ashwini B.L. 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Replacement of single anterior tooth is a complex, challenging procedure that can be accomplished with implant-supported restorations as well as conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal and resin-bonded fixed partial dentures. Different esthetic treatment options must be explored iri treating such patients. Drifting of teeth into the edentulous area may reduce the available pontic space; whereas a diastema existing before an extraction may result in excessive mesiodistal dimension to the pontic space. Although rarely used, loop connectorsare sometimes required to address this problem of excessive mesio-distalpontic space. Loop connectors offer a simple solution for a situation involving an anterior edentulous space albeit with the maintenance of the diastema. This article presents a case with excessive space in the anterior region treated witha loop connector to achieve ideal esthetic results in the maxillary anterior segment.

MANAGEMENT OF PREGNANT PATIENTS IN DENTAL PRACTICE
Authors: Tatuskar Pramod 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Pregnancy is a unique period in a woman's lifetime. Good oral health during pregnancy is important to the overall health of both the expectant mother and her baby. Therefore, it is important to maintain good oral health during pregnancy because it has the potential to reduce the transmission of pathogenic bacteria from mothers to their children. Dental care is safe for the pregnant patient and can prevent long term health problems for both mother and child. During pregnancy dental treatment may be modified but need not be withheld, provided that the risk assessment is made properly for both the patient and the fetus. Oral changes in the mouth are due to the alteration in the levels of estrogen and progesterone. This variation in the female sex hormones causes an increase in oral vasculature permeability and decrease in the host immunity, thus making the pregnant woman more prone to oral infections. Although pregnancy is not a contraindication to dental treatments, the clinician should consult with the patient's physician to clarify individual treatment issues. When prescribing medication during pregnancy, the main concern is the risk of teratogenesis, because drugs cross the placenta by simple diffusion. Drugs are administered during pregnancy only when they are essential for the pregnant woman's well-being, and the drug of choice should always be the one that is the least toxic. Prescribing of systemic drugs of any kind ideally should be performed after consultation with the general medical practitioner or obstetrician.
CBCT IN CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY AND ENDODONTICS - A REVIEW
Authors: Lokhande Prakash , SHIVAMURTHY G.B , KR SRIVASTAVA SAURAV 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been specifically designed to produce undistorted three-dimensional information of the maxillofacial skeleton, including the teeth and their surrounding tissues with a significantly lower effective radiation dose compared with conventional computed tomography (CT). The system overcomes many of the limitations of conventional radiography by producing undistorted, three-dimensional images of the area under examination. These properties make this form of imaging particularly suitable for use in endodontics. The clinician can obtain an enhanced appreciation of the anatomy being assessed, leading to an improvement in the detection of endodontic disease and resulting in more effective treatment planning. In addition, CBCT operates with a significantly lower effective radiation dose when compared with conventional computed tomography (CT). The aim of this paper is to review current literature on the applications and limitations of CBCT in the management of endodontic problems.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent developments regarding photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the field of restorative dentistry. A search of pertinent literature was carried out in PubMed to determine the current applications of photo activated disinfection (PAD) in dentistry. This overview will provide the practitioners, the current status and use of PAD. Within the limitations of the present review, it can be concluded that although PAD cannot replace antimicrobial therapy at its current stage, it may be used as an adjunctive tool in restorative dentistry. Further long-term clinical studies are necessary in establishing a more specific place of the technique in the field of dentistry.

An overview of occupational hazards in dental practice and preventive measures
Authors: Shamnur Naveen , Poorya Naik D.S , Chetan S , Gopal Krishna. B.R 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to review the occupational hazards related to the practice of Dentistry. The classification of hazards is based on major sources of risk by system or tissue and by dental office area (dental chair, laboratory, sterilization area, x-ray developing area). Potentially hazardous factors relate to the general practice setting; to specific materials and tools that expose the operator to vision and hearing risks; to chemical substances with known allergenic, toxic, or irritating actions; to increased microbial counts and silica particles of the aerosols produced during tooth preparation, removal of restorations; to ergonomic considerations that might have an impact on the provider's musculoskeletal system; and to psychological stress with proven undesirable sequalae. The identification and elimination of these risk factors should be incorporated into a standard practice management program as an integral part of dental education. Professional organizations can also assist in informing practitioners of potential hazards and methods to deal with them.

Abstract
Endodontic–periodontal lesions pose challenge to the clinician as far as diagnosis and prognosis of the involved teeth are concerned. The pathways for the spread of bacteria between pulpal and periodontal tissues are controversial. Treatment and prognosis of endodontic–periodontal diseases vary and depend on the cause and the correct diagnosis of specific condition. This case report describes a successful treatment of a 44 year old male patient who reported with a chief compliant of pain in the right upper and lower tooth back region of the jaw since 20 days. Clinical examination revealed deep pockets and furcation involvement between maxillary right first and second molars. Radiographic examination showed bone loss and furcation involvement. Non-vital root resection with maxillary first molar was planned. Prior to root resection, root canal treatment was performed and then rehabilitated with full metal crown.

Acute phase reactants - A review
Authors: Vandana KV , Vandana KL 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The acute phase refers to physiological and metabolic alterations that ensue immediately after onset of infection or tissue injury. A variety of changes in the organism act in concern to neutralize the inflammatory agent and faster healing of damaged tissues. In contrast with the specificity of cellular and humoral immunity, the acute phase changes are nonspecific and occur in response to many conditions.
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory process that occurs in response to a predominantly Gram-negative bacterial infection originating from dental plaque. Increased levels of acute-phase proteins have been noted with gingival inflammation, including during experimental gingivitis and periodontitis, reflecting the locally stressed environment. Here, an attempt is made to discuss the importance of acute phase reactants.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: An overview
Authors: Manohar Mala Ram , Talesra Juhi 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea, is a common disorder that is characterized by repetitive partial or complete cessation of air flow, associated with oxy-hemoglobin desaturation and increased effort to breath. Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea can be divided into four general categories. These include: lifestyle modification, upper airway surgery, oral appliances, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Although the CPAP provides the most reliable therapeutic modality, it is the most cumbersomeone. Many patients, particularly young non-apneic snorers, find it unappealing, difficult to tolerate, and unacceptable. The only other non-invasive alternative, which can producefavourable results within a short time, is oral appliances.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
The periodontium that surrounds the tooth should be healthy for the optimum functioning of the tooth. The gingiva which is a part of the periodontium must be healthy as well so that that any iatrogenic procedures don't damage the gingiva. The concept of biologic width must be well understood to properly manage the gingiva during any restorative procedures.

Neutral zone concept for unstable mandibular complete denture: A case report
Authors: Kumari Nirmala , Kalavathi M. , Sachin Bhuvana , Jain Jayesh 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The tooth position and flange contour have great influence on the stability of a denture. We should not be dogmatic and insist that teeth be placed over the crest of the ridge, buccal or lingual to the ridge. Teeth should be placed as dictated by the musculature, and this will vary for different patients. The neutral zone technique is the most effective way of improving the stability of complete denture especially for patients with atrophic ridges or diminished neuromuscular control. The technique involves recording neutral zone using tissue conditioner and fabrication of a denture which is in harmony with the surrounding oral musculature. This article aims to increase the awareness of dental practitioners to use neutral zone concept in case of denture stability difficulties.

Bone Grafts in Periodontics-A Review
Authors: Pramod VT 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy should not be limited to the establishment and maintenance of periodontal health. The potential for regeneration of the hard and soft periodontal tissues lost to disease should be considered. Of all the bone grafting materials being developed, the demineralized freeze dried bone allograft (DFDBA) has been used as a substitute for bone graft for more than four decades. The basis for the use of any bone grafting material is to induce bone formation. In this article various bone grafts and biomaterials used are reviewed.

Hereditary Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa A Rare Case Report
Authors: Sinha Shagun 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a diverse group of disorders characterized by blister formation with tissue separation occurring at variable depths in the skin and oral mucosa depending on the specific EB type. Oral tissue fragility and blistering is common to all EB types. However oral debilitation as a result of soft tissue scarring is primarily limited to the recessive dystrophic EB subtypes. Due to extreme mucosal fragility such patients are managed by modified dental care practices. This case report describes a rare case of recessive dystrophic EB.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is an epidemic infectious disease that seldom takes an oral form. Because of the still increased incidence of TB in our country, in the differential diagnosis of chronic oral ulcerations, tuberculosis should always be considered. Oral TB is frequently overlooked as a possible cause of oral ulceration. Therefore dentists should be aware of the possible occurrence of TB of the oral cavity.
