Authors: Aneja S , Rathee M 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The marked rise in patients’ demands as regards quality of life and a good appearance makes it mandatory for the Prosthodontist to provide a dental prosthesis with optimal functional, esthetic and physiological requirements. Recent researches in dental implants advocate precise preparation of the implant bed and an adequate primary stability for more vital bone to be in contact with the implant interface facilitating immediate loading. Improvements in implant designs and surface modifications have favored reduced treatment time.
Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumour of the Maxilla - A Case Report with Review
Authors: Kannan A , Sumathy C , Bojan A , Sathasivasubramanian S 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTAdenomatoid odontogenic tumour is a relatively uncommon odontogenic tumour first described by steensland in 1905. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour accounts for about 3-7% of all odontogenic tumours, predominantly found in young female patients, located more often in maxilla associated with an unerupted permanent tooth. The tumour often misdiagnosed as an odontogenic cyst. AOT frequently resembles other odontogenic lesions such as dentigerous cysts or ameloblastomas. Therefore, it should be distinguished from the more common lesions of odontogenic origin in routine dental examinations. We present a rare case report of 59-year-old female patient of AOT occurring in the maxilla.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study is to analyze the prevalence of dental visits within the last year in the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System or BRFSS by the simple sociodemographic factors among the adults in 10 different areas of Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

METHODS
Cross sectional telephone survey (Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System) conducted among 500 adults. Data was collected based on a standardized questionnaire to determine the distribution of risk behaviours and health practices among non-institutionalized adults. A multivariable logistic regression model considers the complex sample design of the BRFSS was used to predict the prevalence of dental visits based on four non-clinic parsimonious variables.

RESULTS
Results showed that the adults with the High household income, Religion (Hindu), High Education(> High School Diploma), and marital status were associated with an annual dental visit with the odd ratios of 0.943, 1.161, 1.243, 0.876 respectively. Besant Nagar had the highest percentage (13%) of estimated annual users, while Redhills had the lowest percentage(8%).

CONCLUSION
Health promotion organizations, Local governments, Insurance companies, and organizations that administer public health programs will benefit by applying this model to the available nonclinical databases, and will be able to improve planning of dental health services and required dental workforce.

Tooth Pontic As An Immediate Replacement For Periodontally Compromised Tooth Adopting Polyethylene Fiber Reinforced Composite Technology: A Case Report
Authors: Singh J , Bharti V 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The loss of anterior teeth can be psychologically and socially damaging to the patient. Tooth loss in the esthetic zone of the anterior region can be due to trauma, periodontal disease or endodontic failure. Replacement can be provisional, semi provisional or permanent in nature. Depending upon multiple factors, a treatment module is decided upon by dentist and the patient. The start of the definitive treatment depends on many factors and thus may require short to long temporization. Final restoration can vary between removable prosthesis, tooth supported prosthesis or implant supported prosthesis. Irrespective of the final treatment, first line of treatment would be to provisionally restore the patient's esthetic appearance while functionally stabilizing the compromised arch. This article highlights a simple and fast method to replace a periodontally compromised tooth by utilizing natural tooth pontic (NTP) (bonded with resin composite and reinforced by plasma-treated woven polyethylene fibers).

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis of the thyroid gland is an uncommon disease and primary involvement of thyroid is even rarer. It is very uncommon disease even in countries where tuberculosis is endemic. Histologically, the presence of necrotizing epithelioid cell granulomas along with Langhans-type giant cells are the hallmark features of thyroid tuberculosis. In this case report, we are presenting a rare case of thyroid tuberculosis in a 40-year-old female.

Core Competency Education in Communication and Systems-based Practice: Are We Failing Our Residents?
Authors: Alessi Anthony , Boruk Marina 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Core competencies clearly established by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) for residency training include ‘Systems-based practice’ and ‘Interpersonal and communication skills’. However, the practical skills of medical documentation and coding that fall under these categories are often ignored in the formal training curriculum as well as during trainee assessments. Residents and practicing physicians alike have been shown to be poor medical coders. The few small studies that have been performed suggest that a combination of formalized lectures and individualized feedback on resident charts may be effective at teaching residents how to properly document and code. In today's health care environment with increasing cost and trends for decreasing reimbursement these skills are essential for the survival of any practicing physician and more effort should be made to ensure that residents are competent in medical documentation and coding.

Surgery of the Thyroid in Children: Current Trends in Practice
Authors: Windsor Alanna M , Kiell Eleanor P , Berg Eric E , Kazahaya Ken 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTThyroid surgery in the pediatric population is performed for a variety of benign and malignant conditions, including thyroid nodules, hyperthyroidism, goiter, and thyroid cancer. Thyroid nodules, though uncommon in children, are more likely to be malignant than in adults and require careful evaluation with history, imaging, thyroid function tests and often ultrasoundguided biopsy to determine which nodules will require further interventions. The treatment of thyroid malignancy is primarily surgical, though the extent of surgery is an area of active debate. Moreover, thyroid surgery in children may have a higher rate of complications, and a number proposals have been suggested to mitigate these risks. The guidelines developed by the 2015 American Thyroid Association Guidelines Task Force on Pediatric Thyroid Cancer are a helpful tool in directing the medical and surgical management of these complex patients, and provide a method for stratification of patient risk for recurrent disease. Children with thyroid disease are recommended to be cared for using a multidisciplinary approach and by providers and facilities experienced in management of pediatric patients. Surgery should be performed by surgeons experienced in pediatric cervical procedures. The objective of this review is to describe the range of thyroid disease affecting pediatric patients, examine current diagnostic algorithms, and discuss common treatment approaches, including the role for both surgery and adjunctive therapies.How to cite this articleWindsor AM, Kiell EP, Berg EE, Kazahaya K.

Validation of the Invasive Pattern Grade Score as an Independent Prognostic Factor in Oral Squamous Cell Cancers
Authors: Ranganath R , Sethi Shweta , Madur Bhulaxmi 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
To prove the validity of an invasive pattern grade score (IPGS) as an independent prognostic factor in oral squamous cell carcinomas.

Introduction
Oral squamous cell carcinomas are the most common type of cancers in Indian males and their treatment is associated with morbidity and socioeconomic losses to the individual and society. In spite of advances in diagnosis and therapy, prognosis and survival remain dismal: One, due to late clinical presentation and two, due to the unpredictable biological behavior of these cancers. Validation of IPGS as an independent prognostic factor may reduce the uncertainty involved in treatment.

Materials and methods
A retrospective analysis of the records of all patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas treated with surgery between July 2010 and June 2012 was done. A total of 54 patients were analyzed with respect to various clinicopathological parameters including IPGS.

Results
Statistically significant associations were established between IPGS and tumor recurrence (p < 0.004) and death due to cancer (p < 0.02). Invasive pattern grade score was not influenced by age, tumor size, gender, site, clinical stage, or histologic grade.

Conclusion
Our study indicates the validity of IPGS as an independent prognostic factor that can be used to predict disease behavior in oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas. Further studies are required to establish this score as a routine part of the histopathological examination and to help us in choosing treatment modalities.

ABSTRACTAimThe present case describes a rare and large size of giant keratoacanthoma (KA) of pinna.BackgroundKeratoacanthoma is a fast growing benign cutaneous tumor resembling closely to well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on clinical and histopathological examination (HPE).Case reportA 70-year-old male presented with a rapidly growing mass on the left ear for 9 months. Tumor was excised and sent for HPE, which revealed well-differentiated SCC with focal features of a KA.Clinical significanceDifferentiation of KA from SCC has been a major challenge for dermatosurgeons, especially at setups with unavailability of molecular studies. So, if the tumor is giant, nonregressing in size especially on sun-exposed sites in an elderly patient, always think of SCC and treat it by surgical excision rather than watching for a spontaneous resolution.How to cite this articleChauhan S, Thakur K, Garg A, Tegta GR, Chauhan P.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Leydig cell tumors and Leydig cell hyperplasia constitute about 3% of testicular lesions in pediatric patients. These lesions are characterized by an interesting constellation of clinical and biochemical features that can facilitate presurgical diagnosis. In some patients, however, these lesions have ambiguous characteristics. We describe here a prepubertal boy with a unifocal Leydig cell hyperplasia that resembled a tumor. The patient was treated successfully by enucleation of the hyperplastic focus.

Pay It forward: Strategies for Successful Implementation of Short-term Endocrine Surgical Mission
Authors: Long Kristin L , Cohen Mark , Perrier Nancy 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
With increasing interest in humanitarian surgical efforts, numerous opportunities for specialized mission trips have developed. Extreme short-term surgical “blitzes” of specialist teams have offered much-needed surgical care but lack efforts for patient continuity and local sustainability. We sought to define characteristics that aid in the long-term success of short-term international surgical missions to better apply this insight toward future dedicated humanitarian endocrine surgical efforts.

Materials and methods
A broad search engine review identified 1,954 reports of medical and surgical missions. One hundred and sixty-six of these abstracts involved surgical missions from 2009 to 2014 with 24 articles including details of specific mission trips. We identified factors deemed essential for improving patient care and affecting local infrastructure for longterm sustainability and included our prospective experience with an endocrine surgery-specific mission trip for comparison.

Results
Of the 24 articles reviewed, missions went to Africa (9), North America (8), South America (5), and Asia (5). Factors for mission sustainability and success included the following: (a) ability to educate local physicians and trainees, (b) multiple return trips to the same location, and (c) formal pre-mission planning and site visits. Emerging interest is on optimizing patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness.

Conclusion
Short-term surgical missions require a local infrastructure for optimal patient outcomes. Sustainability hinges on education and involvement of local physicians and surgical trainees, pre-mission planning, and return trips to the same location. For endocrine surgical missions, preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up by the operating surgeon is important for optimizing performance and outcomes.
