ABSTRACT
The objective of our study was to compare the clinical and anesthetic efficacy of 4% articaine, 0.5% bupivacaine, and 2% lignocaine in maxillary extractions.

Materials and methods
The study was conducted in Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, on 50 systemically healthy subjects (18–75 years) requiring multiple maxillary extractions. Patients were labeled into 3 groups (2% lignocaine, 4% articaine, 0.5% bupivacaine using split mouth technique. Parameters includes: Time of anesthetic onset, Duration of postoperative analgesia, Postoperative anesthesia, and visual analog scale (VAS). A volume of 1.8–2 ml of 2% lignocaine or 4% articaine or 0.5% bupivacaine was infiltrated in the buccal vestibule (local infiltration) before extraction.

Results
The results showed that time of onset of action was significantly faster in 4% articaine when compared to 2% lignocaine and 0.5% bupivacaine.

Conclusion
Articaine have being proved to have better potency and efficacy in terms of onset of action and lower pain scores comparison but lignocaine still remained the gold standard local anesthetic agent in Dental practice due to its faster time of onset, less time of anesthesia and cost effectiveness when compared articaine and bupivacaine. Bupivacaine proved more efficient in pain control and remained concentrated for major procedures.

Comparative Evaluation of Efficacy of Two New Commercially Available Desensitizing Agents: An in vivo Study
Authors: Maroli Sohani 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Objective
To compare the clinical efficacy of two commercially available desensitizing agents, Fluorprotector vivampuole and GLUMA comfort bond plus desensitizer in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.

Materials and methods
A total of 203 teeth were selected for study. Patients who presented with a history of sensitivity to hot/cold, sweet, and sour food were examined using light tactile response along the cervical margin of the teeth. The assessment methods used to quantify sensitivity were tactile test, air blast test, and cold water test. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1: GLUMA comfort bond plus desensitizer; group 2: Fluorprotector vivampuole (newly introduced by Ivoclar). The patients were evaluated for sensitivity at five appointments: at baseline, immediately after application of the agent, 1 day after application, after 1 week, and after 1 month.

Results
Patients belonging to group 2 showed significantly better results compared with patients of group 1 at 4 weeks.

Conclusion
Both the desensitizing agents showed significant reduction in sensitivity at all time intervals compared with baseline. However, Fluorprotector vivampuole appeared to be more effective in providing long-term relief against all the three test stimuli.

Clinical Significance
Fluorprotector vivampuole is a newly introduced fluoride varnish which is clear and colorless. It can be used in cases of dentinal hypersensitivity without affecting the aesthetics of the patient, particularly in case of anterior teeth.

True Fibroma on the Palate: A Unique Case
Authors: Jain Mayuri 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Benign fibrous overgrowths are often found in the oral cavity. Majority of the fibromas occurring in the oral cavity are reactive in nature and represent inflammatory hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue in response to local irritation or trauma rather than being a true neoplasm. True fibroma of the oral mucosa is an extremely rare benign neoplasm, only a few cases have been reported in the literature so far. Here, we report an exceptional case of relatively large true fibroma on the palate in an 80-yearold male patient, which was mimicking a hemangioma, not reported earlier in the literature.

A High-resolution Immunohistochemical Method for studying Receptor Expression on the Periodontal Ligament of Whole-mount Human Tooth Roots
Authors: Headen Karmel V , Ogunleye Afolabi O , Williams David E 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTAimsOur laboratory has found that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and its cognate receptors [LPARs, (LPA1–6)] expressed by human gingival fibroblasts (GF) and periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF) play key roles in oral fibroblast homeostasis and are implicated in the inflammation seen in periodontal disease. We have reported that PDLF express LPA1 and LPA3; however, information on the gross topographic distribution of LPARs in the periodontal ligament (PDL) was lacking, and therefore, we developed a simple method forin situlabeling of LPARs in the PDL of extracted teeth.Materials and methodsSectioning or grinding thin sections of demineralized or native teeth and periodontium have long been the standard methodologies used to assess biomarker distribution in the PDL; however, we modified traditional immunohistochemical labeling and used whole teeth with fixed, solvent permeabilized PDLs.ResultsLPA1 and LPA3 were specifically labeled in the PDL and could be visualized at both the macroand micro-levels.ConclusionThis technique effectively labeled LPARs, and it can serve as a basis for thein situvisualization of other biomolecules expressed in the PDL.Clinical SignificanceThe ability to observe PDL LPAR distribution at the macro-level complements the microscopic data, and it is useful for detecting and documenting molecular changes in the PDL/PDLF that were brought about by age, experimental treatments, or pathologies like periodontal disease.How to cite this articleCerutis DR, Headen KV, Ogunleye AO, Williams DE.

Depth-of-cure of Bulk-fill Composites Cured in Tooth or Opaque Substrate
Authors: Church Brent W , Tantbirojn Daranee , Do Thuydung , Wells Martha H , Versluis Antheunis 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Purpose
To determine the effect of substrate on the depth-of-cure determination when using hardness profiles in a covered-slot technique and to introduce a new covered-slot method that uses tooth substrates.

Materials and methods
Three bulk-fill composites and one conventional composite were tested: Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill, Venus Bulk Fill, Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable, Filtek Supreme Ultra. The composites were light-cured in rectangular slots (2 mm deep, 2 mm wide) made in a plaster mold or an extracted tooth. The slots were covered with an orange glass plate during curing, leaving one end exposed for light-curing. After curing, the glass plate was removed and the sample was stored in the dark for 24 hours before Vickers hardness was measured as a function of depth at 0.5-mm intervals. Results were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and pairwise comparisons (significance level 0.05).

Results
The hardness of composites cured in covered-slot molds decreased with increasing depth (p < 0.001). Bulk-filled composites cured in plaster molds had a slightly lower depth-of-cure than those cured in natural tooth substrates. Differences between the tooth and plaster substrates were significant at all depths in the “packable” bulk-fill composite (Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill), and were significant at ≥2.5 and ≥3.5 mm in the flowable bulk-fill composites (Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable and Venus Bulk Fill) respectively.

Conclusion
Using natural tooth substrates in the covered-slot method increased the depth-of-cure of bulk-filled composites in comparison to opaque plaster molds.

Iatrogenic Narrowing of Inferior Vena Cava after Atrial Septal Defect Closure: The Role of Intraoperative Echocardiography
Authors: Mathew Thomas , Gadhinglajkar Shrinivas , Sreedhar Rupa , Lovhale Pravin , Tapdia Neeraj 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Single-patch closure of a superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) may be complicated with narrowing of inferior vena cava (IVC). If the pressure gradient across the narrowed portion of superior vena cava (SVC) exceeds 6 mm Hg, widening of SVC lumen is considered. No such guidelines are available in literature for narrowing of inferior vena cava in cardiac surgical patients. We describe an incident of inferior narrowing of inferior vena cava in a 10-year-old girl, who was operated for closure of an inferior type of ostium secundum ASD (OSASD). There was hepatic venous dilatation accompanied with gradient of 3 mm Hg at the junction of inferior vena cava and right atrium (RA). The cardiopulmonary bypass was reestablished and the surgical closure of the septal defect was revised to rectify the problem.

Perioperative Ultrasonography Review
Authors: Schott Nicholas J , Schott Christopher K 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) has become increasingly utilized in modern medicine. Advancements in device technology and ease of use have dramatically broadened its clinical applications. The role in acute care specialties of a pointof- care device has allowed increased opportunities for patient assessment and management. The specialties of emergency medicine and critical care medicine have accepted POCUS in many aspects of clinical use as well as trainee education. Anesthesiology has begun to implement the use of POCUS, specifically transthoracic echocardiography, in the perioperative setting. Many elements of patient care can be addressed and modified using this as an assessment tool. This has led to in growth in ultrasonography training and the potential to be a staple of future anesthesiology care. Point-of-care ultrasonography may become vital to the forefront of management for improving perioperative patient care.

Role of Perioperative Echocardiographic in Surgical Correction of the Pulmonary Venous Anomalies
Authors: Negi Sunder 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Anomalous pulmonary venous drainage is the anomalous drainage of one or more than one pulmonary vein draining into right atrium, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, coronary sinus, or innominate vein. Right-sided pulmonary vein anomalous drainage is usually associated with sinus venosus type atrial septal defect. Pericardial patch repair and rerouting of the right pulmonary vein are commonly performed operations for such cases. These operations involve a risk of obstruction to the flow of superior vena cava or rerouted pulmonary vein in the postoperative period. The defects are well visualized on the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). We are reporting three cases operated for anomalous drainage of right-sided pulmonary vein, highlighting the perioperative echocardiographic features.

Orodental Local Drug Delivery
Authors: Ahanthem Nandita , Gazge Nikhat 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTOral mucosal diseases are the most common diseases affecting humans and these can be treated with the use of various drugs. These drugs can be administered via many routes to produce its pharmacological bioeffects. One such site is the oral cavity, where both local and systemic deliveries of drug can take place. Oral route has been the most convenient and commonly employed route of drug delivery. The oral mucosa's accessibility, excellent blood supply, bypass of hepatic first pass metabolism, rapid repair, and permeability profile make it an attractive site for local and systemic drug deliveries. Local drug delivery allows topical treatment of various oral mucosal diseases, as it provides a more targeted and efficient drug-delivery option than systemic delivery. This review highlights various methods of drug delivery and important aspects of mucoadhesive drug delivery and drug dosage for treatment of orodental diseases.How to cite this articleAhanthem N, Basavaraju SM, Pachipulusu B, Gazge N.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
The objective of this study is to assess the periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) and its relationship with glycemic control in type 2 diabetes with and without periodontitis.

Materials and methods
A study was performed on 60 out-patients (males and females) reporting to the Department of Periodontics, Rajah Muthiah Dental College and Hospital and the Diabetic Clinic, Rajah Muthiah Medical College, Annamalai Nagar, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu. The age of the study subjects ranged from 40 to 60 years. Patients having HbA1c levels > 7 mg/dl were diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus and were enrolled in the study. The selected patients were divided into two groups of 30 patients each, with at least eight remaining teeth present: Group I - Diabetic patients with periodontitis (test) with probing pocket depth (PPD) of 3 to 10 mm and bleeding on probing (BOP), and Group II - Diabetic patients without periodontitis (periodontally healthy as control) with PPD not exceeding 3 mm and limited BOP. Subjects were excluded if they were under systemic antibiotics 3 months prior and during the study and if they have undergone periodontal treatment 6 months prior to the study.

Results
When HbA1c increased, the PISA values also increased in type 2 diabetic patients with and without periodontitis.

Conclusion
The cross-sectional clinical study reveals that there is a linear association between diabetes and PISA in type 2 diabetic patients with and without periodontitis.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Taste is the sensation produced when a substance in the mouth react chemically with the taste receptor cells located on the taste buds. Taste abnormality associated with abnormal substances, such as food debris, dental plaque, abnormal salivary constituents, metabolic products of bacteria and fungi and inflammatory exudates in the oral cavity. Accurate diagnosis of taste loss is the foremost step in the treatment of taste abnormalities. It is therefore helpful for both patient and health care provider to unravel the accurate cause.

Peripheral Cemento-ossifying Fibroma: A Report of Two Cases
Authors: Guru Sanjeela R , Singh Sinam S , Guru Rakshith C 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF) is an osteogenic neoplasm of odontogenic origin with uncertain pathogenesis, which presents as a localized growth manifesting predominantly in adolescent and young adults. Early diagnosis by thorough radiographic and histologic examination is crucial for positive identification of lesions. Proper surgical excision with aggressive curettage of adjoining tissues and complete elimination of etiological factors is extremely important for prevention of recurrence. This clinical report presents two cases of patients who reported with localized gingival overgrowth, diagnosed as PCOF after histological examination. The clinical, radiographic, and histologic features of the two cases are discussed, and postsurgery, the patients have been followed up for a 1-year period with no recurrence. In conclusion, it is difficult clinically to differentiate between the various gingival lesions. Therefore, this article emphasizes that though recurrence rate of PCOF is high, most of these cases can be adequately managed with sound periodontal treatment.

Associating Serum Iron and Magnesium Levels in Hypertensive and Chronic Periodontitis Patients: Do They have a Link?
Authors: Koregol Arati C , Mary TJ Jerin , Warad Shivaraj , Annam Tejaswini , Kataria Nitesh , Kalburgi Nagaraj B 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTIntroductionMicronutrients have been extensively studied in recent years; of these magnesium and iron are essential for a variety of physiologic functions. Activation of neutrophils is an early effect of hypomagnesemia, which, in turn, causes periodontal tissue destruction. Since magnesium also influences blood pressure regulation by vascular tone and reactivity, its altered levels could contribute to the pathophysiology of hypertension. Iron plays a key role in the formation of reactive oxygen species that causes peroxidative damage to tissues.Aims and objectivesThe present study is designed to estimate the levels of serum iron and magnesium in healthy, chronic periodontitis patients with and without hypertension.Materials and methodsThis study includes 90 subjects, age ranging from 18 to 65 years. They were categorized into three groups as group I: 30 periodontally healthy, group II: 30 chronic periodontitis, and group III: 30 chronic periodontitis with hypertension. Serum magnesium levels were determined using the modified xylidyl blue reaction method and serum iron levels using ferrozine method without deproteinization via photometry.ResultsBiochemical parameters showed mean serum iron levels in chronic periodontitis (59.17) to be significantly reduced as compared with the control group (76.90) and slightly increased in the chronic periodontitis with hypertension group (69.63). Serum magnesium levels were found to be significantly lower in the hypertensive group as compared with the chronic periodontitis and control groups.ConclusionIron and magnesium have a link in the pathophysiology of periodontitis. Serum iron and serum magnesium levels were closely linked to periodontitis and hypertension.How to cite this articleKalburgi NB, Koregol AC, Mary TJJ, Warad S, Annam T, Kataria N.

Root Coverage using Double Papilla with Connective Tissue Graft: A 13-month Report of a Successful Case
Authors: Sunil Sathyanarayana , Harsha MB 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTIntroductionSeveral techniques have been used to achieve root coverage and augment attached gingiva, including laterally positioned flaps, coronally positioned flaps, free gingival grafts, guided tissue regeneration, and connective tissue grafting. The decision of using a pedicle procedure or free tissue grafts is based on availability of the adjacent donor site and the width and depth of the defect site.Case reportIn this report, a young female patient reported with a deep and wide recession defect (Miller's class I) in the upper right central incisor with minimal keratinized gingival width. As the adjacent papillae were wide and showed good donor tissue and augmentation of width and thickness of keratinized gingiva were intended, double-papilla flap and connective tissue graft was performed. The 13-month postoperative showed Cairo's root coverage esthetic score of 6, satisfying the patient's esthetic needs.ConclusionThe root coverage achieved was structurally and functionally stable at 13-month follow-up satisfying the patient's esthetic needs.Clinical significanceThis procedure seems to be a promising treatment option for deep-wide gingival recessions for root coverage and increasing the thickness and width of keratinized gingiva.How to cite this articleSunil S, Babu HM.
