Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTRhinosporidiosis is a chronic enigmatic disease affecting mainly the upper aero digestive tract and is notorious for frequent recurrences as high as 70%. Higher incidences of recurrence are mainly due to nonendoscopic excision with resultant residual disease leading to seedling of the disease.ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to highlight the factors responsible for recurrence and to follow the clinical course to ensure against recurrence of rhinosporidiosis. External surgery in rhinosporidiosis should be avoided for the fear of implantation. With the advent of endoscopes and Lasers allow the surgeon to complete excision of the lesion with cauterization of the base.Materials and methodsA retrospective study of thirty two cases of rhinosporidiosis presented to us over a period of 10 years from 2002 to 2012. Out of which 14 cases presented to us for the first time and 18 cases were recurrent cases. The commonest age group of presentation was between 20 and 30 years in patients presenting for the first time and in recurrent cases the commonest age of presentation was between 50 and 60 years of age. Majority of patients were males with male to female ratio of 9:1. All patients underwent endoscopic excision, electro cautery was used in 30 patients and Laser was used in 2 patients.ResultsFourteen cases did not have any recurrence and in the 18 cases of recurrent cases three of them again had a recurrence where electro cautery was used to cauterize the base.ConclusionEndoscopic excision of rhinosporidiosis has a better result over nonendoscopic approaches with lesser recurrence rate. Our results show that use of endoscopes in patients who presented for the first time have a better results as the mucosa of recurrence patients have already been insulted due to previous surgeries.
Replantation of an Avulsed Permanent Maxillary central Incisor After Prolonged Dry Storage: A Case Report
Authors: Seal Mukut , Dhanya Kumar N. M. 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
All of us as clinicians at one time or another have to attend to dental emergencies involving severly fractured or even lost or avulsed anterior teeth. Treating such cases is often difficult and there is always a time factor involved. Loss of anterior teeth can affect a patient psychologically and socially. This can be minimised by an immediate replacement or replantation of the lost or avulsed teeth. Definitive treatment planning and consultation with specialists is seldom possible at the time of emergency treatment. Replantation of the avulsed tooth can restore esthetic appearance and occlusal function shortly after the injury. This article describes the management of a young female with an avulsed maxillary permanent incisor that had been air-dried for about 72 hours. The replanted incisor retained its esthetic appearance and functionality 8 months after replantation, yet the long-term prognosis remains questionable.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Background
The blood aspiration technique before the injection of local anesthetic solution is an essential procedure, because it prevents possible systemic’ complications. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of intravascular injection in different techniques of inferior alveolar nerve block and to know the technique which has very low incidence of vascular penetration.

Methods
Fifty patients in the ages of 17-70 years irrespective of sex, who were indicated for bilateral extractions of mandibular teeth were selected for this study. Patients were randomly divided into two divisions consisting of 25 patients requiring bilateral extraction procedures. In first division classical technique of inferior alveolar nerve block was administered on one side and on 2nd appointment Angelo Sargenti technique was administered on the other side. In the second division of 25 patients, indirect technique was administered on one side in 1st appointment and Clark and Holmes technique was administered on the other side in next appointment. Incidence of positive aspiration due to inadvertent penetration of inferior alveolar vessels was recorded.

Results
In group I positive aspiration rate was 8%, group II it was 4%, group III it was 4% and group IV it was 8%. Chi-square and fisher exact test was used and statistically there was no significant difference in the incidence of positive aspiration in all four groups. We found an overall aspiration rate of 6% in all four groups.

Conclusion
The incidence of positive aspiration was evaluated in all the 4 groups. There was no statistical significance in the rate of positive aspiration in all the groups included in our study.

Authors: Neena I.E. 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

AIM
Working length determination in primary teeth endodontics using intra oral digital radiovisiography, and compare it with conventional method for accuracy.

METHODOLOGY
This in vivo study was conducted on 30 primary teeth which were indicated for pulpectomy in the patients of the age group of 5-11 years All experimental teeth had adequate remaining tooth structure for rubber dam isolation and radiographicaly visible canals. Endodontic treatment was required due to irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis. A standardized intraoral periapical radiograph of the tooth was taken using conventional method by paralleling technique. The distance between the source and the tooth, tooth and the films were standardized using X-ray positioning device.

RESULT
From the results obtained we can conclude that intraoral digital radiography methods of determining the root canal length in primary teeth can be considered reliable and safe in endodontic treatment of children.

CONCLUSION
The following conclusions were drawn from this present study Intraoral digital radiography also proved to be safest method in determining working length with significant reduction in radiation dosage. Hence this techniques can be safely used as an alternate to conventional radiographic method in determining working length in primary teeth.
HEPATITIS B - PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS AND CARE: A REVIEW
Authors: Desai Rajendra , Anuradha M. , Kumar Yashavanth , Harsha. V 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hepatitis B is spread through contact with blood or body fluids of an infected person.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the major cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The likelihood of developing Chronic Hepatitis B is related to the age at which infection is acquired; the risk being lowest in adults and >90% in neonates whose mothers are hepatitis B e antigen positive. HBV is not directly cytopathic and liver injury appears to be mostly caused by repeated attempts of the host's immune responses to control the infection. After reviewing the various articles, the following protocols are best suited for the health care workers.
FUNCTIONAL TREATMENT OBJECTIVE-ROLE IN TWO PHASE TREATMENT
Authors: Shivaprakash G. 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
A distal occlusion exerts restraining occlusal forces on the mandibular dentition, and the maxillary dental arch is narrow from distal positioning of the lower dentition. These factors may not allow the mandible to grow to its full genetic potential In severe class II. In the hands of an experienced clinician, full time functional appliances are most efficient in correcting severe class II malocclusion than conventional fixed appliance techniques without mandibular propulsion. This is especially true when the treatment is timed to coincide with the pubertal growth spurt. A case successfully treated with two phase treatment to meet the functional treatment objective is presented.
Variants of inferior alveolar nerve block: A review
Authors: Seth Rahul , Anuradha M. , Yashavanth Kumar D.S. , Babji Harsha V. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The inferior alveolar nerve block is the most common method for obtaining mandibular anaesthesia in dental practice, but it is estimated to have a success rate of only 80 to 85%. Traditional anaesthesia of the mandibular nerve and its branches consists of deposition of anaesthetic solution in the region of the mandibular foramen. This commonly used technique eliminates all somatosensory perception of the mandible, mandibular teeth, floor of the mouth, ipsilateral tongue, and all but the lateral (buccal) gingivae. In the case of difficulty-to-anesthetize patient, the inferior alveolar nerve can be particularly challenging. In those patients, other approaches may be necessary to achieve profound anaesthesia. This article summarizes the different approaches that may be utilized in such cases.

Non Syndromic Generalised Taurodontism in Primary and Permanent teeth -A Case Report
Authors: Neena I.E , .KP Bharath , LNU Priya , .P. Poornima 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Taurodontism is a rare dental anomaly defined as a change in shape of the tooth caused by the failure of Hertwig's epithelial sheath to invaginate at the proper horizontal level. The characteristic features of this anomaly are an enlarged pulp chamber with apical displacement of the pulpal floor, and no constriction at the level of the Cemento-enamel junction. They occur most frequently as an isolated anomaly or it may be associated with certain syndromes. Permanent dentition is more commonly affected than deciduous dentition, seen unilaterally or bilaterally, and in any combination of teeth or quadrants. This case report describes a case of generalised taurodontism involving all the deciduous molars and permanent molars in a 7 years old male patient.

Correlation of Gross Motor Function with Topographical Diagnosis in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Authors: Laisram Nonica , Muzaffar Tufail , Kothari S Y 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThere is a need for appropriate classification to describe gross motor function status in a child with cerebral palsy (CP). It was hypothesised that: greater the number of limbs involved, higher would be the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level; and, there would be spectrum of GMFCS level for each of the topographical types of the cerebral palsy.A cross-sectional study of 182 children of both sexes in the age group of 7 months to 30 years having spastic CP who attended CP clinic from 2008 to 2009 in tertiary care hospital were assessed for topographical diagnosis and GMFCS levels. Topographical distribution showed diplegia (42%), quadriplegia (30%), hemiplegia (23%), triplegia (4%) and monoplegia (1%). GMFCS levels were almost evenly distributed, level II (26%) was most common followed by level V (23%). Statistical analysis was done using Cramer's ratio and Pearson's Chi-square test.Cramer's ratio of 0.277 showed fairly weak correlation between GMFCS levels and topographical CP types. Pearson's Chi-square (12) =41.7, p=0.000 indicates that there is significant difference between expected and observed values of number of limbs involved in GMFCS levels, further substantiating the weak correlation.These results mean that GMFCS in different topographical groups have different distributions. It was also observed that GMFCS had weak correlation with the number of limbs involved, thus reflecting that the GMFCS is a better indicator of gross motor function impairment than the traditional topographical categorisation of CP that specifies the number of limbs involved.

Published: July 2019

AbstractA prospective, controlled trial was conducted to assess the outcome of early physical therapy intervention on preterm low birth weight infants during the first six months of life. A cohort of 100 preterm low birth weight infants who got admitted in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and referral newborn (RNB) of Raja Muthiah Medical College and Hospital (RMMC & H) were included prospectively. Infants who received regular early physiotherapy intervention were assigned as interventional group (EI) and infants who were advised but did not turn up for early intervention as comparison group (NEI). The Amiel-Tison neurologic examination and Denver developmental screening test (DDST) were used and results were compared. Better performance of infants was found in EI group in neurologic and developmental domains. The data suggest significant benefit of the use of EI programme over NEI in the neurodevelopmental outcome of preterm LBW infants at 6 months of corrected age.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Objective
To compare the anterior and posterior blind intra-articular steroid injections approaches in the management of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder

Design
Randomised control trial

Setting
Department of PMR, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal, Manipur.

Participants
The patients having adhesive capsulitis of shoulder (n=60) attending PMR department, RIMS during the study period.

Duration
One year (August 2011 to July 2012).

Intervention
After randomisation, 60 patients were allocated in three groups (A, B and C). Group C (n=20) received physical therapy practice in the department of PMR, RIMS, Imphal. Group A (n=18) and B (n=22) received intraarticular steroid (methylprednisolone 80mg each) by anterior and posterior approaches without imaging guidance respectively in addition to physical therapy. Outcome measures: 1) Visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, 2) Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and 3) Passive range of motion of affected shoulder using goniometer.

Results
All the three groups showed improvement with statistically significant (p<0.005) findings in all the outcome variables except in shoulder flexion range (p=0.085). Improvement in outcomes namely VAS, SPADI, shoulder rotation and abduction range were more marked in group A when compared with group B which was found statistically significant (p<0.05).

Conclusion
The intra-articular steroid injection when combined with physical therapy is effective in the management of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. The blind anterior approach intra-articular steroid injection is more effective than posterior approach in improving shoulder rotation and abduction range of movements, reducing shoulder pain and disability in patient having less than 3 months duration adhesive capsulitis of shoulder.

Abstract
Medical science is full of surprises. We faced one such surprise while treating a 47-year-old male patient with difficulty in walking for 6 months duration along with occasional seizures since childhood. After thorough clinical examination and investigations, patient was diagnosed as a case of Dyke Davidoff Masson syndrome (DDMS). It is a rare syndrome due to hemiatrophy of cerebral hemisphere and associated with hemiplegia or hemiparesis. But in this case, patient had only ankle clonus, causing difficulty in walking without any other motor deficit. Alcohol neurolysis of gastrosoleus muscles was done followed by gait training and improvement of gait was noticed over time.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Isolated hand palsy also known as ‘pseudoperipheral palsy’ is a rare presentation of ischaemic stroke, often mistaken for peripheral nerve lesion. Here, we report a 13 years old young girl presented with sudden onset right hand palsy without any typical features of either upper motor lesion or lower motor lesion. Ischaemic stroke caused by embolic infarct of left precentral gyrus was the possible cause for her. She was managed with physiotherapy interventions including electrical stimulation, strengthening, grip exercise etc. Such an isolated hand palsy resulting from stroke is a rarely reported entity.
