The Survival of Single piece basal implants in restoring critically impacted canine - Series of case reports
type: item
description: The prevalence of impacted teeth is a very frequent finding with maxillary canines being the second most common, next to third molars. These teeth pose greater aesthetic deficiencies and are addressed through a variety of treatment modalities. Patients with critically impacted canines, that are not amenable for orthodontic traction are usually opted for extraction. Restoring these teeth with a single piece basal implant aids in immediate loading, and a permanent solution, without using bone grafts. This case series of three patients reports the successful restoration of maxillary canines, after surgically extracting them.

Assessment of barriers & attitude of pediatric dentist towards the use of inhalation sedation in clinical practice: a mixed method study
type: item
description: Background and aim: Behaviour management is the corner stone of pediatric dentistry. Inhalation Sedation (IS) technique is safe & effective adjuvant in reducing anxiety, and producing analgesia. To assess the attitude of pediatric dentist towards the usage of Inhalation sedation and also to investigate the barriers and obstacles faced by them during usage of IS in their routine clinical practice. Materials and methods: Mixed method study design conducted among 200 pediatric dentist in a metro city. A 18 point questionnaire with 12 closed question & 6 open ended questions was administered to200 pediatric dentist. Quantitative data was presented as percentage, frequency and qualitative data was thematically analysed. Results: Use of IS in pediatric dentistry was beneficial as an effective Behavior Management Technique (BMT). Regarding the safety in the usage of IS in dental setup, 90.9 % respondents agreed that IS is safe enough to be used in clinical setup. Parental acceptance of using IS for their child is a variable strata and has individual perceptions attached to it. Qualitative data was thematically analysed and after an in depth interview with different respondents various themes were generated. Conclusion: Significant gap in the knowledge and practice of inhalation sedation among the study population was found. Through qualitative analysis, major barriers in utilisation of IS was identified.

SOFT TISSUE AUGMENTATION (SUB-EPITHELIAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE GRAFT) AROUND PERI-IMPLANT RECESSION – A CASE REPORT
type: item
description: ABSTRACT Background Peri-implant soft tissue recession poses a significant challenge in dental implantology, impacting both the aesthetic and functional outcomes of implant-supported restorations. This case report details the management of peri-implant recession through soft tissue augmentation, highlighting the procedural approach and outcomes. Case Presentation A 23-year-old female patient presented with peri-implant soft tissue recession around a maxillary implant. Clinical and radiographic assessments indicated insufficient soft tissue volume and improper implant positioning as contributing factors. A connective tissue graft (CTG) was selected to augment the peri-implant mucosa. Results Post-operative follow-up at six months demonstrated significant improvement in the peri-implant soft tissue volume and reduction in recession. The augmented tissue remained stable, and the patient reported high satisfaction with the aesthetic and functional outcomes. No complications were observed, and regular follow-ups ensured continued peri-implant health. Conclusion This case report underscores the effectiveness of connective tissue grafting in managing peri-implant soft tissue recession. Comprehensive assessment, meticulous surgical technique, and diligent post-operative care were critical to the successful outcome. The findings suggest that soft tissue augmentation is a viable solution for enhancing peri-implant aesthetics and function, warranting further research to establish standardized protocols for broader clinical application. Keywords Peri-implant recession, soft tissue augmentation, connective tissue graft, dental implants, aesthetic outcomes.

KNOWLEDGE ON TILT CONCEPT IN IMPLANTOLOGY AMONG DENTISTS OF MAHARASHTRA STATE
type: item
description: Background: Dental implants are widely used for replacing missing teeth. The placement of standard-length dental implants in axial position requires adequate amount of bone to be present. In certain conditions when remaining bone volume is less or the proximity of vital structures (inferior alveolar nerve, mental nerve, and the maxillary sinus) is there, advanced surgical procedures are required to allow the placement of standard-length implants .Such procedures are usually associated with increased morbidity, higher cost, and longer treatment duration. Aim: The aim of the study is to know about the knowledge of the TILT concept in implant among the dentists in Maharashtra Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among the dentist of Maharashtra. The sample size of 200 dentists. A close-ended questionnaire was used to assess the practitioner’s perspective on tilted implants. Survey software was used to reduce sampling bias. Repeated answers or questioning were avoided. Chi-square tests were applied to find the association between the parameters and the level of significance. Results: Out of 200 practitioners, only 45% of the practitioners had knowledge about the TILT concept in implant and the other 55% were not aware. And only 32.5% of the practitioners were aware of the indications for tilted implants whereas 67.5% of them responded that they don’t know under what conditions tilted implants are used Conclusions: Within the limitation of the study, we can conclude that dental practitioners in the Maharashtra population were not much aware of the tilted implants and their uses and advantages over other techniques.

Endodontic Management of Maxillary First Molar with Two Palatal canals
type: item
description: An awareness and understanding of the presence of unusual root canal morphology is essential as it determines the successful outcome of endodontic treatment. Aberrations in root canal anatomy are commonly occurring phenomena. We report a clinical case of a maxillary left first molar with two palatal root canals. The morphology is atypical because it is characterized by two palatal canals having separated orifices and canals running parallel to each other but joined at the apex. Modifications to the normal access opening and examination of the pulpal floor for additional canals are stressed in such type of cases.

A Paradigm of esthetic post and core in primary dentition
type: item
description: Background - Early childhood caries or trauma to anterior primary teeth leads to improper functioning, speech difficulties and poor esthetics. A complete treatment of primary anteriors requires pulpectomy and restoration. To conserve functional and esthetic harmony such patients require post and core systems. This article describes about different posts which can be used in primary dentition which helps in coronal restoration by providing adequate retention. Types of studies reviewed – This review article includes a literature search of different articles from various journals about early childhood caries, post and core system, primary teeth restoration. Search includes the case reports, literature reviews, systemic review which used post and core management of primary anterior teeth. In the search, there were no filters activated and no language restrictions. Included references assessed the use of post and cores used in pediatric dentistry (12 in vivo, 6 reviews, 3 in vitro studies), and the articles were reviewed by two reviewers (both part of the authorship team). Results – Management of early childhood caries and trauma in primary anterior teeth in which crown structure had been lost can be restored by different post and core to conserve functional, biological and esthetic harmony of teeth. Practical Implications – Preformed posts and customized posts, both can be used in restoring the crown structure of primary anteriors for preservation of esthetics and function. Glass fibre, ribbond posts and glass fibre reinforced posts add more esthetic value than metal posts. Key words – post and core, esthetics, pulpectomy, restoration

Impact of audio-visual 3D animation on students’ depth of knowledge of surgical anatomy of maxillofacial spaces.
type: item
description: Background and Objectives: The study aims to augment conventional teaching of maxillofacial spaces by developing audio-visual animation videos and evaluate its advantages in terms of student satisfaction and depth of knowledge attained by final year dental students. Method: Nine videos on maxillofacial spaces were designed using the Mimics-in-Suite Software. The final year batch of dental students (n=42) were divided in two groups: Group 1 (n=21) and Group 2 (n=21). Group 1 served as the control group, solely receiving instruction through chalkboard and PowerPoint presentation, and the Group 2 served as the experiment group, where the conventional teaching was reinforced with the animation videos. The depth of knowledge gained by both the groups was recorded through a 30 marks multiple choice questionnaire and compared. Group 2 students' satisfaction with the animation module was also noted. Results: Group 2 students outperformed Group 1 students in the depth of knowledge assessment in all levels except for the Level 1. Significantly high scores were achieved in Level 4 questions and the grand total score. Students positively perceived the animation module. They were satisfied with the animation's quality, content, relevancy, utility, and the knowledge obtained. Conclusion: Altogether, the results illustrate that animation was useful to simplify the anatomy of maxillofacial spaces as it deepens their understanding of the material and was intercepted satisfactorily by the students.

Artificial Intelligence In Restorative Dentistry And Endodontics- A Short Review
type: item
description: Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that was described by John McCarthy in the year 1956. It has the potential to replicate human intelligence and has been described as the fourth industrial revolution. In health care two types of artificial intelligence methods are used, namely virtual and physical. Different methods have been employed to train the artificial intelligence system. In restorative dentistry they have been used for the detection of dental caries, vertical root fracture, predict restoration failures, locate preparation margins etc. In endodontics they have proved to be helpful in detection of periapical lesion, crown and root fracture, working length determination and also throw light on retreatment predictions and the viability of stem cells etc.So this article provides an overview of the role of artificial intelligence in restorative dentistry and endodontics and its scope for the future.

type: item
description: Aim: Evaluation of digital text books vs. print text book learning perception levels among the students of Vishnu dental college during COVID 19. A questionnaire study. Objectives: To evaluate the perception levels of E-Book and Text Book learning among students of Vishnu dental college. To assess the mental attitudes of students in E-Book and Text Book learning Key words: E-books, text-books, perception levels, efficacy, dental students, students. Introduction: Textbooks have been a guide since education had stepped into this world. Even if we turn our pages back to ancient-times we come across inscriptions made on leaves, rocks, sculptures, and many more, from there the ideology of writing got started which led to printed books. In the mid-1970s ever since the age of digitalization has started the evolution of textbooks took place which gave birth to e-books. E-learning has transformed into various forms such as tablets, I-pads, kindle and became a fast-growing technology in no time. Considering various factors like cost, accessibility, maintenance, and eco-friendly there was a gradual decline in conventional reading which led to the downfall of many book stores that made them shut their doors and get exhausted. But ultimately it is not only the devices or the technology that evolved, either people have too. So, in this lockdown, many students got introduced to e-reading for their preparation to get done. Taking this as an opportunity our present study is an attempt to find out which type of learning has the better efficiency and intellectuality over the other. Materials and Methodology: A questionnaire study was done on the 1st bds students who have recently completed their university examinations irrespective of gender and age. All the study participants voluntarily completed the questionnaire consisting of 10 questions which was validated by the institutional ethics committee of Vishnu dental college with ref no IEVDC/2021/UGD1/OP/Q/65.

Clinical assessment of NTI-tss appliance for TMD’S associated with headache
type: item
description: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder and bruxism may cause individuals to experience extreme pain in the region of jaw and head. The associated musculature and the joint are placed at a STRAINED position which manifests as unbearable pain. This pain may radiate to face, neck and some may even develop migraine, all of which can have painful and a debilitating effect on an individual. This paper describes the case where a patient who was suffering from TMJ pain from 8 years using multiple occlusal splints over the course of years but showed no signs of relief thus, impairing the quality of life. TMD's constitute a group of disease with overlapping similar sign and symptoms. In this case, the patient was diagnosed and treated with the NTI-tSS appliance, with a 6 month follow up showing almost complete resolution of the symptoms enhancing the quality of life.

Evaluation of Knowledge and Awareness among dental students about emerging outbreak of COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional study
type: item
description: Background: The ongoing outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged in Wuhan, China, and caused disruption among the health care populace and the rest of the world. As COVID-19 is highly contagious in nature, the front-line health care workers are at a higher risk and dental health care workers are of no exception to this and they are also at high risk than other health care professionals as we expend a lot of time close to the patient's oral cavity and the aerosols generated from dental treatments and the fluids that we came into contact like saliva, blood, etc., increases the risk multifold. Hence our aim was to assess the awareness, knowledge of dental students towards COVID-19. Materials and methods: A total of 350 dental students participated in the study. A structured custom-made questionnaire composed of 16 questions was designed to assess the students level of awareness, knowledge, towards COVID 19. The questionnaire was distributed among 3rd 4th year, interns undergraduate and postgraduate students, and informed consent was obtained before commencing the questionnaire. Results: A total of 350 students participated in a questionnaire study. The majority of the study participants were females (74%) and majority of the students were aware of CoVID-19 (99%) and only 1% were unaware. 79% of students were aware that COVID 19 is highly transmissible and about 76% has knowledge about the incubation period of COVID 19 which is usually between 1-14 days. Inadequate knowledge and awareness make students vulnerable to infections. Adequate training is required to protect students and their patients. Conclusion: Our study concluded that the majority of dental students had knowledge and awareness and its detrimental effects on COVID 19. Few students had a lack of awareness and inadequate knowledge about the mode of transmission, cross-contamination with dental instruments, incubation period and laboratory investigations.

Oral Health Status of Hospitalized Children and Parental Perception about Oral Hygiene during Hospitalization: A Cross Sectional Study
type: item
description: Introduction : Oral health is considered as a gateway for general health. Compromised oral health possibly will have a sizeable bearing on the general health status and quality of life. Underlying medical condition in hospitalized children might prevent the care givers to pay attention towards oral health, which can sometimes lead to life-threatening complications. Hence this study was conducted to know status of oral health during hospitalization and perception of parents toward oral hygiene. Methods: An observational cross sectional study was conducted over a period of one month at in patient ward of dept of pediatrics. All the subjects were examined for oral health status and their parent’s knowledge attitude and practices were assessed through a validated questionnaire. Results: Caries prevalence was high. 42.6 % of children had 1 or more teeth decayed, filled or extracted. The mean dmft score was 3.58 ± 1.75 and DMFT score was 1.43 ± 2.51 overall. There was a significant decrease in the plaque score from the date of admission to date of discharge. Only 42.6% of the parents of hospitalized children were aware about the oral health status of their wards. Conclusions: It was found that the parents of hospitalized children were very much aware of importance of oral health. Hence, preventive strategies involving care givers/guardians, with timely reinforcements would help in reduction of caries experience and improvement in gingival/oral health of these individuals

Prevalence of Hepatitis C virus infection in patients with oral lichen planus in Guntur, Andhrapradesh
type: item
description: Background: The association between oral lichen planus (OLP) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a matter of controversy. It is heavily influenced by geographical location. It is important to determine the association so that guidelines can be made for HCV testing in patients with OLP. Aims: This study was conducted to determine the possible association between oral lichen planus (OLP) and hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) in Guntur, Andhrapradesh population. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were taken from 50 OLP patients and 50 healthy controls to screen for HCV infection. Moreover, the clinical characteristics of OLP were also observed, such as gender, age, chief complaint, clinical type and the sites involved. Results: In the present study, 50 patients with OLP (30 females and 20 males) with mean age of 42.52 ± 13.04 years, and 50 healthy subjects (30 females and 20 males) with mean age of 40.42 ± 12.38 years were evaluated.HCV antibodies were detected in none of the subjects Conclusion: We could not detect any association between OLP and HCV. This may be due to lower occurrence of hepatitis C virus in comparison to hyper endemic countries for this virus or genotypic discrepancy of the virus or other factors contributing for these patients.

Evaluation Of Efficacy Of Arginine Calcium Carbonate Versus Potassium Nitrate Paste In The Treatment Of Dentinal Hypersensitivity
type: item
description: Background and Aim: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a common oral health problem affecting one or more teeth of many adult individuals globally. It is characterized by a sharp pain which arises from exposed dentin in response to an external stimulus, and cannot be explained by any other form of dental pathology. Several agents and treatment modalities have been used in the treatment of this condition. The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of arginine calcium carbonate paste (Test group) versus potassium nitrate (Control group) in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity. Subjects and Methods: A total of 66 cases were randomly divided into two groups based on the toothpaste given: Test group - toothpaste containing 8% arginine and calcium carbonate, Control group - toothpaste containing 5% potassium nitrate. The patients’ DH scores for tactile stimuli was recorded on a visual analog scale and airblast stimuli was recorded on a Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity scale at baseline, immediately post scaling after application of desensitizing paste, 1 month after commencing the use of desensitizing paste, and 1 month following cessation of its use . Statistical Analysis: The data was analyzed using Independent t test (P < 0.05). Results: Both the toothpastes were effective in relieving dentinal hypersensitivity. However, toothpaste containing 8% arginine and calcium carbonate showed a better clinical response at the end of 2 months evaluation. Conclusions: The desensitizing paste containing 8% arginine and calcium carbonate showed instant and long lasting reduction in the symptoms of DH.

Ameloblastoma ex COC: An enigma to clinicians and Pathologists
type: item
description: Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC), though known for more than five decades, is always under constant ambiguity with respect to its nomenclature and classification with extreme diversity in its biologic behavior. It represents a heterogeneous group of lesions that are to be regarded as non-neoplastic, cystic, or solid masses and more frequently found in association with hamartomatous such as odontomas, Adenomatoid odontogenic cyst and other odontogenic tumors such as odontogenic fibroma and Ameloblastoma. Owing to the fewer incidences, uncertain descriptions of the COCs, specific clinical data in the literature is sparse.

Ectodermal Dysplasia-a Case series of two cases
type: item
description: Ectodermal dysplasia is a large hereditary group of disorders which is usually manifested as X-linked recessive Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED) and has a full expression in males, whereas females show little to no signs of the disorder. It is a genetic disorder affecting the development or function of the teeth, hair, nails and sweat glands. The two most common types of Ectodermal Dysplasias are the X-linked recessive Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome), and Hidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (Clouston syndrome). Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is characterized by hypodontia, hypotrichosis and hypohydrosis. Here in, we report case series of this rare entity of ectodermal dysplasia in a 15year old female and 42 years old male showing characteristic features of hypodontia,hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis.

The Treatment of intrabony defect using silk fibroin as GTR and xenograft – a case report
type: item
description: Background : The most common challenge faced by the clinicians is the management of periodontal disease. Although various treatment strategies have been tried, the use of bone grafts along with a barrier membrane has been the gold standard in intrabony defects. In vivo animal studies and a few in vitro studies have revealed the importance of silk fibroin in bone tissue engineering and has also shown its potential as a scaffold for periodontal ligament cells. The main objective of the case report was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of silk fibroin membrane with a xenograft in the treatment of intrabony defects. A male patient reported to the department of Periodontology with the complaint of food lodgement in the lower right back tooth region. Examination revealed a pocket of 5mm. Phase I therapy was followed by open flap debridement. An intrabony defect along with grade II furcation was detected. This was followed by the use of xenograft and silk fibroin membrane. Improvements were noted clinically and bone fill was assessed radiographically and further analysed using AUTOCAD 2017 software at the end of 12 months. Conclusion: The case report has proved the efficacy of silk fibroin with xenograft in treating grade II furcation defects . These results have encouraged the use of silk fibroin in tissue engineering in the field of Periodontology.

Analysis of genetic damage in individuals exposed to Chronic Mechanical Irritation (CMI) in the lateral boarder of the tongue due to Cusp of Carabelli (CoC) – A Cytogenetic study.
type: item
description: Background: Chronic in?ammation is estimated to contribute to approximately 25% of human cancers. In?ammation that is induced by chronic mechanical irritation (CMI) along with carcinogens has a higher chance of leading to oral pre-cancer and oral cancer. Though many studies have been conducted to identify the genetic damage in oral cancer or dysplastic stages, there is no study conducted to find the early detection of genetic damage in healthy individuals associated with CMI. Cusp of Carabelli (CoC) is a small additional cusp at the mesiopalatal line angle of maxillary first molars which can cause chronic irritation to the lateral border of the tongue. Objective: The study is aimed to analyze genetic damage (micronuclei and nuclear buds) in healthy individuals associated with CoC over the lateral border of the tongue causing CMI. Materials and methods: The study comprised of 75 clinically healthy individuals with unilateral/bilateral presence of CoC causing irritation over the lateral border of the tongue as study group. Brush samples of lesional epithelial cells were collected, then spread over clean glass slide and fixed in 100% alcohol, stained with rapid PAP and analyzed under the light microscope. The exfoliated cells were examined to detect the presence of micronuclei (MN). Results: Incidence of MN was found to be more in CoC associated lateral border of the tongue of healthy individuals without habits. Conclusions: Cytogenetic analysis is a simple and scantly invasive technique allowing clinicians in early detection of DNA damage in patients with CoC and preventing the carcinogenesis by proper treatment and follow-up.
