RECENT ADVANCES IN LOCAL ANESTHESIA - OVERVIEW
Authors: Deepti V. 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTThe local anesthetic drugs presently available and used in dentistry represent the safest and most effective drugs in all of medicine for the prevention and management of pain. One drawback associated with intraoral local anesthesia is patients’ fear of injections .and the perception that these are painful. Recent advances have resulted in the use of computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery vehicles to regulate the delivery and rate of flow of local anesthetics at the injection site, lessening potential discomfort associated with injections. New injection techniques that provide reliable anesthesia, depending on the technique and area of anesthesia necessary have been discussed.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Blood transfusion is the process of receiving blood products into one's circulation intravenously. Transfusions are used in a variety of medical conditions to replace lost components of the blood. Transfusions of blood products are associated with several complications, many of which can be grouped as immunological or infection. Acute hemolytic reactions occur with transfusion of red blood cells and are due to destruction of donor erythrocytes by preformed recipient antibodies. Most often this occurs due to clerical” errors or improper typing and cross matching. Delayed hemolytic reactions occur more frequently and are due to the same mechanism as in acute hemolytic reactions. However, the consequences are generally mild and a great proportion of patients may not have symptoms. However, evidence of hemolysis and falling hemoglobin levels may still occur. Treatment is generally not needed, but due to the presence of recipient antibodies, future compatibility may be affected. Hereby we share our experience of such a case of delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction and discussing the various measures to be taken during any such incidence and the biochemical and hematological tests to confirm the diagnosis.

Authors: ROOPA K.T. , RAKSHA K. 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
With the introduction ofbiocompatible materials like titanium and other bio ceramics and added advantages of preservation of tooth structure, implants have created a new era in dentistry as treatment option for missing teeth. Earlier short coming oflack of bonding with bone are overcome by osseointegration property of titanium and zirconia implants. This osseointegration rate of titanium dental implants is related to surface composition, surface roughness and hydrophilicity which increase the mechanical stability of implants. The present review throws some light on various methods employed for surface modifications.

AIM & OBJECTIVE
Aim of this paper is to discuss various surface treatment methods of Implants and its effect on osseointegration.

CONCLUSION
There are various surface modified implants available. Studies have proven that these implants show better osseointegration compared to machined implants.
Influences of estrogen and progesterone on periodontium - A review
Authors: Deepa D. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Hormones exert significant influence in body physiology throughout life. Women in particular, experience hormonal variation under either physiological and non-physiological conditions, such as menstrual cycle or the use of oral contraceptives. Endocrine disturbances and hormone fluctuations affect periodontal tissues directly; they modify the tissue response to local factors and produce anatomic changes in the gingiva that may favor plaque accumulation and disease progression. Here is a brief review which focuses on hormonal influences reflected in the periodontium as they affect the physiology of host-parasite interactions in oral cavity.

Interpretation of pulp sensibility tests - A review
Authors: SHIVAMURTHY G.B , Kanav J , Ashwini J 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Diagnosis can be defined as the art of distinguishing one disease from another. One of the most essential part of the diagnostic procedure for pulp disease is the use of pulp sensibility tests. When diagnosing pulp pain, these tests can be used to reproduce the symptoms reported by the patient to diagnose the diseased tooth as well as the disease state. There are several pulp sensibility tests available such as thermal tests (heat and cold stimuli), electric pulp tests (EPT), and a test cavity. But which test should be used in which condition still remains a confusion for the dentist.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Background
Mental illness affects people of all nations and at all economic levels. Psychiatric disorders affect the general behavior of a person, impair level of functioning, and alter perception. Psychiatric patients are one of the special groups requiring attention as they are often neglected because of ignorance, fear, stigma, misconception and negative attitudes. For psychiatric patients, periodontal health is a major determinant of general health and may have a low priority in the context of mental illness.

Objective
To assess periodontal health status in psychiatric patients in and around Meerut city.

Material and Methods
The study sample comprised of 100 psychiatric patients of Meerut city. Various socio-demographic variables like age, gender, parent's education, income were investigated. Dental examinations were done by measuring the following parameters of oral health: Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI, bleeding on probing (BOP), pocket probing depth (PPD). The collected data was subjected to statistical analyses.

Results and Conclusion
The results of the study suggested poor oral hygiene due to neglected personal hygiene, compromised periodontal status and lack of motivation to get the dental treatment.

Periapical healing by non-surgical intervention : A case report
Authors: Suma R , Shukla Ravikumar , Hiremath Neel Vijay , Lalwani Poonam 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe rationale behind endodontics is to thoroughly disinfect the root canal system, and to provide hermetic seal which in turn ceases the progress of the periapical infection. Most of these periapical infections attributed directly or indirectly to oral microbes. Surgical interventions in larger periapical infection are sometimes accompanied by certain complications. Hence, non-surgical approach can be considered. This article presents non-surgical healing of a periapical lesion of endodontic origin associated with maxillary left central and lateral incisors, observed over a period of 6 months, using calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament.How to cite this articleShukla R, Hiremath NV, Lalwani P, Suma R.

Our Experience with Correction of Angular Deformities of Knee by Flexible Figure of 8-plate Hemiepiphysiodesis
Authors: Sahoo PK , Das SK , Pradhan S , Mohanty RN 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Background
Genu valgum and genu varum deformity in the lower limb in children results in cosmetic problem, gait disturbance, pain and early joint degeneration. Most of them are physiological and improve to the normal adult femorotibial angle before the age of eight years. Persistent deformities are corrected by osteotomy and internal fixation or gradual correction by external fixation. Osteotomy has got its complications. Gradual correction also can be achieved by stapling, percutaneous drill technique and transphysial screw. Stapling has drawbacks related to implant failure including migration and breakage of implants. Drilling and screwing carries risk of permanent growth arrest. The timing of epiphysiodesis has to be perfect otherwise there may be under correction or overcorrection. 8-plate temporary hemi-epiphysiodesis is a new concept and producing good results with less complication. The objective of this study is to reduplicate the results of 8- plate hemiephiphysiodesis on angular deformities of knee joint.

Methods
We attempted gradual correction through 8-plate in 31 patients with 54 angular deformities around knee. Cases were followed for 38months (range, 24 to 52months) after removal of implants. Measurements were compared pre and postoperatively.

Results
There was statistically significant improvement in all the outcome measures measured. There was gross reduction of intermalleolar distance and reduction in angular deformity.

Conclusions
8-plate hemiepiphysiodesis is an effective means for correcting angular deformity around the knee in skeletally immatured patients.

Abstract
Osteo-arthritis, the most common joint disease of human being, presents with pain and stiffness of the affected joints, feeling of instabilities, deformities and severe loss of function of the involved joint affecting activities of daily livings as well as economic burden.
The present study evaluates the efficacy and adverse effects of diacerein, an anti-inflammatory drug now being considered as a disease modifying drug in osteo-arthritis on 38 patients. After 6 weeks of intervention, diacerein showed statistically significant superiority versus aceclofenac as assessed with WOMAC A (P<0.0001), WOMAC B (P< 0.0001), WOMAC C (P<0.0001) and secondary efficacy variable like NSAIDs (aceclofenac) intake from the baseline and at the efficacy time point at 6 weeks and 12 weeks(P<0.0001), demonstrating the better efficacy of diacerein over aceclofenac. This superiority was already evident from 6th week for all the parameters. It was more significant after completion of the study.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Introduction
Over the years NCS has been used to diagnose and monitor the patients with CTS though USG has several advantages as diagnostic tool. This study has been done to find out the diagnostic accuracy of USG in CTS and to compare the efficacy of USG with standard NCS in CTS.
Prospective cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Dept. of PM&R, IPGME&R, Kolkata from 1st March, 2012 to 31st August 2012 (6 months). Patient with clinical diagnosis of CTS of age >18 year of both sexes were included in this study and on the other hand patient with previous wrist surgery /injury, wrist deformity, diabetes mellitus, anatomical variants of median nerve on ultrasound were excluded from the study.

Methodology
After getting institutional ethical committee clearance, all patients who fulfil the above criteria were included in the study and further diagnostic conformation done by the standard diagnostic criteria of NCS. The same group of patients have been also screened by ultrasonography (USG).

Results
At the end of the study, data analysis showed that sensitivity and specificity were 92.3 and 70.0% respectively. Predictive value of +test, predictive value of -test were 88.9 and 77.8% respectively. Kappa value was 0.64 (between 0.5 and 0.7). It signifies that there is good correlation between NCS and USG as diagnostic tool of CTS. The comparison of the numerical values of median latency, amplitude and CSA USG within the groups with the help of ANOVA followed by Tukey's test showed that there was good correlation between latency and amplitude in mild, moderate, severe and profound CTS but unfortunately it was not correlated with the CSA measured by USG.

Conclusion
USG can be used for screening large population of patients as it is simple, easily available, non-invasive test and has relatively low cost and useful in evaluating and excluding local causes of nerve compression.
Ultrasound Guided Trigger Point Injections in Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Authors: Prasad Shiva , LNU Vijay , Bangari Gururaj , Patil Priyanka , Sagar Spurti N 
Published: July 2019

AbstractTrigger points as a cause of musculoskeletal or myofascial pain syndrome is well documented. Trigger points (Tr Ps) are tender and hypersensitive nodules seen in skeletal muscles which develop as a result of sudden or repetitive trauma to the muscles. They cause contractile state of a muscle with local or radiating pain. Active trigger points cause intense pain with limitation of movements of the muscles. The treatment involves deactivating the trigger points, usually done by various methods. Most common practice is myotherapy which involves deep tissue massage which is painful and time consuming. Dry needling and needling with anaesthetic injaection have been successfully used by many. Recently, ultrasound guidance is used to locate the trigger points and to accurately place the needle in to them to deactivate, thus preventing complications of blind procedures.
Lower Pole Release in Congenital Muscular Torticollis – Retrospective Analysis of Outcomes in 15 Cases
Authors: Gupta Ajay , Kothari S.Y 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Congenital muscular torticollis is a common congenital problem. It is considered to be amenable to treatment which may be conservative or surgical. There are as yet no fixed guidelines as to the methodology or the timing of treatment. It is certainly advised to be prudent in selecting the appropriate treatment which should neither be too conservative nor over-invasive. We are reporting a series of 15 cases in which we did a unipolar release of the sternocleidomastoid muscle at the lower attachment. Retrospective analysis of 15 consecutive patients is done. During the postoperative period the parents were advised to regularly continue with the stretching exercises, focus on activities on the opposite side of the face and use a semi-rigid cervical collar, specially designed for active correction of these cases. We got very satisfactory postoperative results in most of our patients except one who had resistant deformity due to advanced age. In conclusion we would like to bring the focus back to unipolar release which is shifting unduly in favour of a bipolar release. This would also reduce the chances of the complication of accessory nerve injury. We have used the scoring system developed by Cheng et al and modifi ed by Shim in which the present cases showed improvement of 7 points with p-value of less than 0.0001
Upper Extremity Prosthesis — What Is New in It?
Authors: Gafoor S. Abdul , Mohan Raj M 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Over the past 40 years, technology has dramatically affected the field of upper limb prosthesis. With improvement in the electronics industry, along with advances in the miniaturisation and mass production of electronic components, myoelectrically controlled prosthesis has become reliable and widespread in their use. Compared to lower extremity amputees, the acceptance of prosthetic replacement is less in upper extremity amputees. This may be due to different factors like functional needs, cosmetic factors, motivation of the patient, inadequate training following conventional prosthetic fitment, etc. More and more developments are going on in upper limb extremity prosthesis which will fulfill the need of the upper limb amputees. Such developments ensure better rehabilitation though cost is a limiting factor. This article is an earnest attempt to review the recent trends in upper limb prosthetics.

Oral Submucous Fibrosis – Review of Literature
Authors: Salvi Rohini , Gadda Rohit , Bhatia Varun , Patil Atul , Patel Varsha 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a crippling disorder which is confined almost exclusively to the Indian subcontinent. The available epediomological data showed clear cut geographical and ethnic predisposition, which suggested that certain customs/ habits prevalent among the population groups in the south-east asia might be etiological factors. Despite its association with a significantly increased risk of cancer, the etiology is still not clear. More research is needed to elucidate the problem.
Resilon-Epiphany Obturation System
Authors: Shenoy Vanitha U. , Sumanthini M.V. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractFor over hundred years Gutta Percha (GP) has been the most common material used for the obturation of the root canal. GP was the standard with which newer materials were tested. GP fulfills all the characteristics of an ideal root canal filling material, but has a disadvantage of not being able to seal the root canal on its own and requires a sealer for providing an effective seal. In an attempt to overcome this draw back a new root canal filling material was introduced, called, Resilon which is a thermoplastic synthetic polymer-based root canal filling material and Epiphany being the sealer. This material has the ability of forming a Monoblock with the root canal. The properties of this material has been studied, it has shown promising results and has emerged as a alternative to GP.
Management of Unstable Mandibular Denture With Neutral Zone Impression Technique
Authors: Mahadevan Janani , Ram Sabita M. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractOral functions involve unique interplay of oral structures and muscles. Any interference with their movements by a denture would result in denture instability. If the denture is placed in a zone where the displacing forces of tongue, lips, cheeks and modiolus are balanced, then the denture will be retained more effectively during function. This zone is known as neutral zone. If the denture strays outside/inside the neutral zone it will be unstable during the activities such as talking, swallowing and mastication. The neutral zone technique is used to minimize the displacing forces of the surrounding structures. This is a case report in which neutral zone impression technique was used to solve the problem of denture instability.
