Authors: Jose Amal , Kumar A. Saravana , Govindarajan K. N. , Sharma Sunil Dutt 
Published: April 2023

Aim:
The aim of this article is to assess Tamil Nadu adult diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) by collecting radiation dose data from the four different dental modalities.

Materials and Methods:
The study was carried out using routine adult exposure settings in 131 intraoral, 75 panoramic, 35 cephalometric, and 10 dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) X-ray devices. DRLs were assessed for intraoral and extraoral (panoramic, cephalometric, and CBCT) examinations in terms of incident air kerma (Ka, i) and kerma area product (PKA), respectively. Air kerma measurements, for all dental units, were made using calibrated RTI black Piranha 557 dosimeter (RTI Electronics AB, Sweden). The dosimeter was kept at the exit cone of the X-ray tube and on the detector side of the X-ray unit for intraoral and extraoral air kerma measurements, respectively. The obtained air kerma in extraoral modalities is multiplied with the beam area to evaluate PKA.

Results:
The third quartile values calculated from the median for adult intraoral (mandibular molar), panoramic, cephalometric, and CBCT were 1.5 mGy, 116 mGycm2, 40 mGycm2, and 532 mGycm2, respectively. The proposed DRL in the present study was comparable to those reported in Germany, Greece, the UK, Japan, and Korea.

Conclusion:
This study revealed the need for dose management and radiation dose optimization, in various dental facilities in the state. It was also found that dental facilities employed with the digital type of detector are not always related to lower exposure.
Study of different types of refractive errors in under-five children born preterm versus full term
Authors: Sindhura Jana Lakshmi , Muduthanapally Charani , Murthy L. R. , Das Sangeeta , Dubey Renu Shukla 
Published: April 2023

Background:
Preterm birth potentially plays an important role in visual development. Studies have shown that frequency of myopia, astigmatism, anisometropia, strabismus, and amblyopia in children born preterm is higher than term children.

Objective:
The aim is to study different types of refractive errors in children under-five years of age born preterm and term.

Methods:
Comparative cross-sectional study was carried out among 64 children aged 5 years or less. Age, gender, and social status were noted. Children were subjected to refraction according to their age. Detailed anterior segment and posterior segment examination as per the cooperation of the child was conducted with torch light or slit-lamp examination with Ziess, Appasamy AARU 2000. Visual acuity was examined with appropriate methods suitable for age.

Results:
Fifty percent were preterm and 50% were term. About 50% were male and 50% were female. The most common refractive error was hypermetropia (42%). Among those with compound types of refractive errors, the most common was compound myopic astigmatism ≥2 diopters (17%). Compound types of refractive error were significantly more (62.5%) among the preterm compared to 31.2% among term; significantly more (91.7%) among those born <32 weeks of gestation compared to 45% and 45.5% among those born between 33 and 36 weeks and born >36 weeks of gestational, respectively; significantly more (88.9%) among low birth weight babies compared to 40% among normal birth weight babies. Age and gender were not significantly associated with compound types of refractive errors (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
Most common refractive error was hypermetropia. Among those with compound types of refractive errors, the most common was compound myopic astigmatism ≥2 diopters. Being preterm, born at the gestational age of <32 weeks and low birth weight were significant risk factors for compound types of refractive errors.
Case report on combined approach for delayed orbital floor repair
Authors: Kumar K. P. Manoj , Nair Aparna S. , Das T. Ajay , Chanchalesh M. C. 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT
“White-eyed blowout” fractures in pediatric patients can be presented with fewer clinical symptoms; therefore, immediate diagnosis and surgery is essential. In cases where early surgery was performed, rapid recovery and better postoperative outcomes were noted regardless of the configuration of fracture. In pediatric patients, due to changes in the orbital volume, autograft is recommended. Although there are different approaches to orbital floor, transantral approach provides enhanced illumination and accessibility to orbital floor. This case report portrays a pediatric case of white-eyed blow out fracture which went unnoticed for about 1 month and was managed at a later date. Combined mid-tarsal and transantral approaches using iliac crest graft was used to repair the orbital blow-out fracture.

ABSTRACT

Aim:
The aim of the study was the identification of predictors of psychology and beliefs among parents of children affected by cleft lip and cleft palate.

Methods:
The study included a sample of 157 parents of children having cleft lips and cleft palates. Parents were given a questionnaire related to their beliefs and reasons behind deformity.

Results:
Out of 157 participants, 90 were fathers, and 67 were mothers. The children with deformities included 105 boys and 52 girls. The majority of parents (43) believed that the eclipse was one of the reasons for the deformity and the other was God’s wrath for the mother’s sins. The time of birth was considered a factor for cleft lip and palate by 27 parents. The study revealed that the self-esteem of fathers was higher than mothers and they were more concerned of being undesirably judged by others due to deformity of their children than the mothers.

Conclusion:
It can be inferred that the parents of a child with cleft lip and palate differ in their psychosocial adjustments. Also, mothers experience more psychosocial problems than fathers. The superstitious beliefs still prevail in rural areas despite advanced medical facilities and awareness.
A case report on implant retained auricular prosthesis: Bringing back hope and smile
Authors: Gupta Deeksha , Thakkur Rahul , Shah Bhumi 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT
Long-term success of a facial prosthesis mainly depends on retention. Most articles relate tissue health to long-term success, not retention. Anatomic undercuts, skin adhesives and implants are important factors to provide sufficient retention. Extra oral implant retained prosthesis have been proven to be a predictable treatment option for maxillofacial rehabilitation. This case report describes the clinical and laboratory procedures for fabricating implant-retained auricular prosthesis using magnets for retention. It describes how an initial planning for implant placement with Hader-bar retentive system was opted out due to intra-surgical situation. The use of craniofacial implants for retention of extra oral prosthesis, such as ears, offers excellent support and retentive abilities and improves a patient’s appearance and quality of life. It has been shown in clinical and biomechanical studies that two implants are sufficient to retain an auricular prosthesis. Judicial treatment planning and implant placement according to the available remaining structures is prudent for a successful prosthesis.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT
Oral Lichen Planus (OLP), an autoimmune disorder of unclear pathogenesis affects quality of life of affected individual. Intervention regimens are multiple and still evolving due to its resistance to recover and ability to recur. Platelet rich Plasma (PRP) is a newer, promising treatment modality tested by researchers because of its low cost and negligible adverse effects. Articles were retrieved from search engines of PubMed / Medline, Scopus and Web of Science which fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Cochrane risk of bias tool assessed quality of clinical studies and Joanna Briggs Institute for case reports. A total of 4 articles were included for the systematic review, of which 2 are clinical trials and 2 case reports. All cases were of erosive nature. PRP in case reports were administered when patients did not respond to conventional therapy. PRP demonstrated effective therapeutic benefit in regards to outcome of pain and lesion appearance. PRP can be considered as a potential alternative therapy in treating non-responsive OLP. Further studies are recommended to arrive at a definitive conclusion.
Infantile fibromatosis of the mandible- Is radical treatment justified?
Authors: Raghani Manish J. , Agarwal Subham S. , Ansari Hafiz M. N. 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT
Infantile fibromatosis is characterized by proliferation of fibrous soft tissue with a potential of invading the adjacent structures but lacks the ability to metastasize, thus making it a fairly benign lesion with borderline characteristics. The pathology resembles sarcomatous growth, therefore making it difficult for the clinician to correctly diagnose. There are two variants of extra-abdominal desmoid juvenile and adult variant depending upon the age group it predominately involves. Fibromatosis is comparatively a rare tumour with unpredictable growth and varying local recurrence rates. The mass usually grows slowly, rapid growth and recurrences being mostly associated with the juvenile forms. The disease may present as single or multifocal lesion with widespread distribution, thus requiring whole body scans to identify any insidious growth elsewhere. Here, we report a case of recurrent juvenile/infantile fibromatosis in a 2-year-old child, conservatively managed without any growth disturbance and signs of recurrence.
A rare incidence and management of complex odontoma and surgical dehiscence in maxillary anterior region: A case report
Authors: Gupta Sakshi , Mittal Neelam , Shankari Thivya , Gupta Supriya 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT
Odontoma is a benign odontogenic tumour, which is rather considered hamartoma. Hamartoma is not a true neoplasm, rather a growth of abnormal mixture of cells found in the body area they normally grows. Fully developed odontomas generally consist of enamel, dentin and pulpal tissues, in an unorganised manner. Some of them may contain cementum too. These are further grouped into compound and complex, depending on their clinical, radiographic and histologic features. Odontomas are generally asymptomatic and slow growing, but may cause bone expansion and hinderance in tooth eruption. These lesions are generally diagnosed by coincidence in radiograph. We are presenting a case and surgical management of complex odontoma and post-operative dehiscence in the anterior right maxillary region of a 38-year-old male.

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Various techniques have been used to treat internal temporomandibular joint derangements (TMJ ID), with arthrocentesis one of the most successful in reducing symptoms and promoting function. In cases of TMJ ID, this research study compares and evaluates the efficacy of arthrocentesis with injections of corticosteroids (CS) or hyaluronic acid (HA).

Methods:
This prospective randomized, non-blinded study involving 91 patients with symptoms of TMJ ID treated by arthrocentesis followed by intra articular injection of 1 ml of either corticosteroid (group A) or HA (group B) . Maximum mouth opening, lateral excursive movements, TMJ pain at rest and during function, masticatory efficiency, pre-treatment functional TMJ limitation and subjective judgment of efficacy of treatment were assessed with millimeter scale. All the parameters measured before the procedure and further followed at 1st week, 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month post-procedure.

Results:
Maximum mouth opening post procedure improved significantly in Group B at follow up visits (P < 0.05). Subjects in group B showed significant reduction in pain at rest (P = 0.001) at 1 week and 1 month follow up & increased masticatory efficiency at 6 months (P = 0.042) as compared to that of group A subjects.

Conclusion:
Injection of HA post-TMJ arthrocentesis is found be comparatively more effective method of treating TMD IDs with resultant decrease in pain & improved functionality of the jaw. TMJ arthrocentesis along with injection of HA could serve as a possible alternative to treat chronic TMJ pain sufferers who are unresponsive to conservative medical therapies.

Published: April 2023

In a project, it is necessary to have a work between owners and contractors that are used as a legal basis, in the form of construction contracts. One of these contracts is a contract for the procurement of goods and services based on the charge of its fiscal year consisting of a single-year contract which is the execution of a contract of work binding funds for 1 year while the contract of the plural year is a contract for the execution of work for a period of more than one fiscal year on the budget. Project delays almost occur every year and this results in huge losses for service users and service providers both in terms of finance and time. Project delays are divided into several types, namely: excusable delays, unforgivable delays, and delays that get compensation. Project delays are caused by several factors such as late payments and design changes. This factor greatly affects the performance of implementation in the field. The research process is carried out by conducting a survey. Starting with disseminating questionnaires to Owners, Contracts and outside parties as well as through literature studies, it is carried out to find out the comparison of the causes of project delays
