ABSTRACT

Introduction
This study had twin objective first to determine the prevalence of dental caries and second to assess the correlation of duration of imprisonment, adverse habits and duration of adverse habits with dental caries status of prisoners in Central Jail, Jodhpur city, Rajasthan.

Materials and methods
This cross-sectional study was carried out on 131 male prisoners of Central Jail, Jodhpur city. A pre-designed questionnaire on general information, Tobacco consumption (frequency and duration of intake of Tobacco) and duration of imprisonment was used for the collection of data. The dental caries status was recorded using DMFT index (Henry T Klein, Knutson JW and Carole D Palmer; 1938).

Results
The total DMFT score was 180 and the average DMFT was 1.37 for the total prison population. A significant association was found between adverse habits and different age groups (χ2 = 16.77, p = 0.033) and between duration of adverse habits and different age groups of prisoners (χ2 = 16.58, p -value = 0.034). Significant correlation was found between adverse habit and duration of adverse habit (p < 0.05) in subjects having dental caries.

Conclusion
Though the prevalence of dental caries was so high, treatment for the same was not available due to lack of a dental unit in the jail. This highlights the urgent need of dental services in Central jail of Jodhpur city.

ABSTRACT
The relentless pursuit by cosmetic dentistry brought the evolution of materials ceramics. The IPS-Empress system was upgrading of indirect restorations based on lithium disilicate. The ceramic restoration posterior allow a new esthetic approach due to its translucency and resistance without any weakening of the remaining dental element, being an option more conservative when compared to conventional prosthetic restorations.

Oral Tuberculosis with Advanced Diagnostic Trends
Authors: Pavithra V , Kumar K Vineeth 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis (TB) is a universally known chronic infectious disease that can affect any part of the body including oral cavity. Though usually affects the lungs, tubercle bacilli can spread hematogenously to involve other parts of the body. Oral lesions, although rare, are very important for early diagnosis and interception of primary TB. Here, we report a case of oral TB that manifested as painless extraoral swelling on the right side of the mandible which was initially small, later increased in size within 3 months. The patient was asymptomatic for pulmonary TB. Excisional biopsy was done. The histopathological section showed granulomatous lesion, and Ziehl—Neelsen (ZN) stain showed acid-fast magenta color rods suggesting tuberculous infection. This prompted us to validate with other advanced diagnostic technique, such as polymerized chain reaction (PCR) for tubercle bacilli. Thus, we emphasize on few advanced diagnostic techniques in the detection of the TB.

ABSTRACT

Aim
This study assessed the prevalence and severity of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) in the absence or presence of teeth of participants in Najran region in comparison with other adult participants in other regions with respect to gender differences and age. Furthermore, it investigates the frequency of symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by clinical examination.

Materials and methods
The total number of participants was 318 of both genders randomly selected for this study. The participants were divided into three age groups: 14 to 20, 21 to 40, and ≥41 years. The study was based on Fonseca's Anamnestic Index and its questionnaire, which is composed of 10 questions and classifies the severity of TMD. Clinical examination was performed for the patients to investigate the sign of TMJ dysfunctions. The obtained data were coded and entered into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program for analysis using Chi-square test at significance level of 5%.

Results
The participants with mild TMD dysfunction were 35.5%, whereas 18.6 and 3.5% were classified as moderate and severe TMD dysfunction respectively. The most reported TMD problems were related to poor articulation of teeth (23.9 and 25.5%), followed by frequent headache (15.1 and 33.6%), then grinding of teeth (15.4 and 34.9%) in “Yes” and “sometimes” answers respectively. The highest TMJ disorder was a frequent headache at 55.3%, followed by TMJ clicking at 21.1%. The remaining TMJ dysfunctions ranged between 11 and 13%. There was no significant difference between TMDs and gender (p ≤0.306). However, the severity of TMDs increased with increasing age (p ≤0.001) and was associated with tooth loss (p ≤ 0.000).

Conclusion
The majority of the participants had mild-tomoderate TMDs and they were found among the middle-age group. The severity of TMDs increased with age and was associated with tooth loss. No significant difference between males and females was found. The most reported TMD problems were related to the poor articulation of teeth, frequent headache, and grinding of teeth, while a headache followed by clicking of TMJ was the highest clinical TMJ disorder.

An Overview of the Current Survival Status and Clinical Recommendation for Porcelain Fused to Metal vs All-ceramic Zirconia Posterior Fixed Partial Dentures
Authors: Vijan Karishma V 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) restorations has shown promising results in terms of longevity over decades. However, due to the paradigm shift with the preferences of both the patients and clinicians toward all ceramic restorations, these prostheses are being increasingly used in posterior region. Zirconia is one of the popular materials in dentistry today; it has good mechanical strength and has shown remarkable results in shortterm studies from 3 to 5 years. However, zirconia aging and chipping are most common causes of zirconia failure, besides loss of retention has also been reported in some studies. Nonetheless, there are no substantial studies that decipher the longevity of these restorations over a longer period of time. Moreover, it has been reported that zirconia cannot be used in areas of higher stresses. This review article compares the promising ceramic material zirconia and PFM restorations in terms of longevity and esthetics based on the present studies. An electronic search was conducted across Ovid Medline, complemented by manual search across individual databases, such as Cochrane and Google Scholar for literature analysis on PFM restorations, zirconia crowns, and fixed partial dentures (FPDs). The studies were reviewed and results were compared for the same. This paper summarizes the current scientific and clinical opinion through a brief review regarding the preferred material for posterior crowns and FPDs. It denotes that case selection and certain other factors can play a role in success of the zirconia prosthesis.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Neurovascular hamartomas (NVH) are relatively uncommon and have been very rarely reported in head and neck region. The rarity could be attributed to it being unrecognized and/or unreported. They constitute unique group of lesions with specific histopathological features.

Case Report
Authors report a case of 23-year-old male patient with NVH of face with an unusual clinical presentation.

Conclusion
Neurovascular hamartoma is a histopathological diagnosis made for small to medium-sized vessels and closely packed groups of well-formed nerve bundles within a loose connective tissue matrix and the inflammatory component is minimal or absent.

Clinical significance
Neurovascular hamartomas have specific features, and, therefore, they should not be considered as any reactive lesion or any hamartomatous lesions. Neurovascular hamartomas in fact represents a separate and unique entity.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Direct intraoral fabrication of cast post and core restorations for endodontically treated teeth can be challenging and time consuming. In addition, accurate intraoral fabrication of resin patterns with intracervicular margins is not always possible as a result of restricted access and difficult isolation.
This article presents a direct-indirect method that uses different diameters of prefabricated posts as fiber post and polyvinyl siloxane material as a mold for fabrication of multiple post patterns.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
The objective of the study is to evaluate some of the esthetic factors which will determine an attractive smile.

Materials and methods
This study was conducted with 214 students, between the age of 18 and 25 years, from Dharwad SDM College of Dental Sciences with natural dentition and who fulfilled the required criteria; the frontal photograph was taken of each individuals with smile displaying upper anterior teeth as well as gingiva. Each student's smile was compared, analyzed, and evaluated. Differences between smile types were determined statistically with Z-proportionality test.

Results
Five elements of smile were analyzed. The difference in smile type between men and women was statistically significant. Average smile was the most common with 48.13%, followed by high smile of 37.38%, and low smile was the least common with 14.49%. The downward curvature was the most common with 48.60% followed by straight curvature 42.88% and the lowest common was upward curvature with 8.88%. Straight curvature was the most common followed by parallel curvature and reverse curvature. Totally, 64.95% students showed lower lip touch of the maxillary teeth, and 22.43% showed lower lip not touching the teeth. And, 12.62% showed lower lip slightly covering teeth; 64.95% displayed till 2nd premolar; 32.24% displayed till the first molar; and 2.8% displayed till canine.

Conclusion
The average smile was the most common with downward curvature, straight maxillary incisal curve with the lower lip, maxillary anterior teeth not touching the lower lip, and a number of teeth displayed till the second premolar. Smile analysis must be assessed in association with the face in order to define esthetic rehabilitation of smile. It will give guidelines for restoration of esthetics in anterior.

Esthetic Outcome of Emergence Profile in a Single Tooth Implant Restoration
Authors: Shambharkar Vaibhao Ishwar , Kadoo Priyanka , Raut Amber , Sonare Shweta R 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
In the past two decades, replacement of missing teeth with implant-supported prostheses has become a widely accepted treatment for oral rehabilitation of partially or fully edentulous patients. With the growing use of implant-supported oral rehabilitation in the partially edentulous patient and single tooth restoration, the emphasis has now changed toward achieving predictable esthetic success, particularly in the maxillary anterior region and patients who may show the peri-implant soft tissue when smiling and speaking. Establishing a soft tissue contour with intact interproximal papillae around implant-retained restoration is challenging, and failure to achieve these harmonious relationships of soft tissue around the implant may lead to unesthetic appearance. In the following case report, the patient presented with an unfavorable tissue contour around an implant restoration. Reshaping of soft tissue was planned. A combination of two surgical techniques was used, which includes a papilla reconstruction and interpositional graft for achieving desired esthetic for a single-stage implant. Following this, sequential molding of marginal gingival tissue was carried out using provisional restoration to obtain an emergence profile.

An Appraisal on Occlusal Philosophies in Full-mouth Rehabilitation: A Literature Review
Authors: Srivastava Rajeev , Parmar Ankita , Choukse Vivek , Palekar Umesh 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Restoration of occlusion in patients with mutilated dentition is a challenging situation as every case is unique in itself. There is a great apprehension involved in reconstructing worn-out dentition due to widely divergent opinions regarding the choice of an appropriate occlusal scheme. A critical assessment and subsequent scientific validation of available literature on occlusal philosophies in full-mouth rehabilitation require an understanding of their evolution in the formative years and the subsequent development of effective models for clinical practice. This study overviews the various occlusal concepts/philosophies in full- mouth rehabilitation, which will help the clinician to select an appropriate occlusal scheme for an individual case.

Andrew's Bridge: Achieving Esthetics with a Prosthetic Alternative-Managing Severe Anterior Ridge Defects in Operated Case of Cleft Lip and Palate
Authors: Hajira Neha , Khandelwal Pulkit , Shashidhar HS , Sachdeva Harleen , Khare Sumit 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Reconstruction of large anterior ridge defects is often a prosthodontic challenge. Such defects require closure of the defect along with the replacement of the missing teeth so as to achieve proper speech and esthetics. Classifying these defects in the preoperative examination helps to diagnose and predict the prognosis and technical difficulties to be encountered. The aim and purpose of this case report is to describe the management of one such case with missing anterior teeth and severe anterior ridge defects. We also describe the process of fabrication of Andrew's bridge (a fixed-removable partial denture) to treat this Siebert's class III anterior ridge defect.

Diverged Otorhinolaryngological Manifestations of Reflux Disease in Indian Condition: A Base Line Data Generation
Authors: Jain Rajiv Kumar , Roy Suddhasheel 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aims
To generate base line data of different otorhinolaryngological manifestations of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) disease in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Materials and methods
Fifty cases were selected from OPD setup and diagnosed to be having LPR disease based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were then explained the necessary details and purpose of the study and were subjected to further standard protocol. The patients with ear complaints were advised pure tone and impedance audiometry. The findings were charted and data extrapolated.

Results
Among various complaints, the most common complaint was lump in the throat; others were frequent throat clearing, cough, choking, hoarseness, and excessive throat mucus. The nasal complaints were nasal discharge and blockage, and ear complaints were otalgia and hard of hearing
Laryngoscopy showed hyperemia of larynx and vocal fold edema, ventricular obliteration, laryngeal edema, posterior commissure hypertrophy, thick endolaryngeal mucus, pseudosulcus vocalis and vocal cord granulations. Nasal findings were rhinitis, congestion, and turbinate hypertrophy. Ear complaints had tube dysfunction. On upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy most of the patients had normal study; some showed esophagitis or hiatus hernia. Mean body mass index of the study population was in normal range.

Conclusion
Globus, a common presenting complaint in ENT outdoors is usually related to reflux. Reflux was found associated with Eustachian tube dysfunction and rhinitis. Results demonstrated that obesity and esophagitis are not associated with LPR.

Clinical significance
This study investigated a range of parameters responsible for LPR disease. The understanding of the entity of LPR and its manifestations is far from being completely understood. Present-day thrust is in the direction of increasing importance of LPR being recognized in ENT practice. The results and their analyses created an important base line document for the population of the state of Uttar Pradesh (population about 200 million) and adjoining states who commonly call on the Sir Sunderlal Hospital, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Plasmacytoma is an extremely rare and discrete solitary mass of neoplastic monoclonal plasma cells. Extramedullary plasmacytoma tends to occur during the fifth and seventh decades of life and is rarely diagnosed in younger patients. In this study, a 55-year-old patient presented to us with complaint of changes in voice, and difficulty in swallowing and breathing. On examination, there was a retropharyngeal mass which is extending to lateral pharyngeal wall and toward nasopharynx. Contrast computed tomography scan shows soft tissue density involving retropharyngeal space and involving nasopharynx and left parapharyngeal space. For this, the patient underwent excision of this mass under General Anaesthesia (GA) biopsy report was suggestive of plasmacytoma. After excluding systemic involvement by means of laboratorial and radiological investigations, the patient was referred to radiotherapy department for complete management.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
The purpose of this study was to determine the anesthetic efficacy of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) using 4% articaine and 2% lidocaine supplemented with buccal infiltration.

Materials and methods
Forty five patients, diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis of a mandibular posterior tooth were included in the study. The first group of 15 patients received 2% lidocaine with 1:200000 epinephrine, the second group 2% lidocaine with 1: 80,000 epinephrine and the third group of 15 subjects received 4% articaine with 1:100000 epinephrine. During the access cavity preparation those patients who complained of pain received an additional buccal infiltration. The percentage of subjects who got profound anesthesia and failure to achieve anesthesia were calculated and tabulated using a visual analog scale.

Results
The results revealed that 87% of subjects who received 4% Articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine got satisfactory anesthesia with inferior alveolar nerve block alone. Only 2 (13%) subjects received an additional buccal infiltration and none of the patients failed to obtain complete anesthesia with articaine. In comparison only 40% of subjects got complete anesthesia with 2% lidocaine with 1:200000 and 60% with 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000.

Conclusion
It can be concluded that 4% articaine can be used effectively for obtaining profound anesthesia for endodontic procedures in patients with irreversible pulpitis.
