Oral cancers are considered as the 6th most common predominant cancers in males. Some of the etiological components include viruses, alcohol and tobacco. Most common viruses include Hepatitis C virus, Epstein-Barr virus, Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and human papilloma virus (HPV). No doubt, the role of viruses is inevitable in progression and initiation of OSCC (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma). Rapid detection of these viruses can result in prevention and early treatment so that disease will not be progressed further...... ReadMore

Elder neglect is an accepted social practice in the scientific domain and globally there is an increase in reporting of such association with medical diseases. Elder neglect results in depression and when antidepressant drugs are taken for a long period of time, adverse effects do result in one form or the other. We present a unique case of such complex social phenomenon in which an elderly patient was suffering from neglect which resulted in depression and manifested in the form of a hairy tongue on prolonged treatment with antidepressant drugs. These psychological associations are an important consideration in diagnosis and treatment planning of a clinically visible disease. The patient required prosthetic rehabilitation but forfeited the treatment midway...... ReadMore

The goal of implant rehabilitation is to achieve initial stability and sustain functional loads. Longer than 10 mm implants provide an increased area to facilitate osseointegration and so the rationale was unquestioned for many years. However, the resorbed posterior maxilla poses a challenge. The feasibility of 7 mm size was analyzed but failures were seen by the Branemark and other systems that followed. With the improvisation in surface textures in recent years, short and wide fixtures have proven predictable. A successful attempt was shown in the present study with the 5x5 fixture and assessed three-year post loading clinico-radiographically...... ReadMore

Introduction: Maxillofacial injuries are one of the most frequently encountered cases accounting for a large proportion of patients in emergency department. Multidetector Computed tomography (MDCT) is now an important imaging tool for evaluating maxillofacial trauma, having largely replaced plain radiographs due to its ability to detect the exact site, number and extent of fractures as well as added advantages of 3D reconstruction and multiplanar reformatting.Objective: This study was performed to assess the role of MDCT in patients of maxillofacial trauma and to describe the demographic variations as well as frequency and types of fractures that underwent CT scans.Materials and methods: Maxillofacial trauma patient sent for needful CT scan from emergency room to Depa.....

The eruption of the permanent teeth is done in a harmonious way when the conditions of development of the dento-alveolar arches are all united. This is not always the case, obstacles to growth as lingual or orofacial dysfunctions, parafunctions or early extractions of temporary teeth can disrupt the eruptive process in permanent dentition. Functional education using trainer treatment can stimulate the development of the arches for proper teeth placement...... ReadMore

Dental Surgeons play an important role in prevention of periodontal disease and caries. Good oral health is supposed to be the indicator of general health. Tooth mortality is directly related to the prevalence of periodontal disease and dental caries. In India, prevalence of periodontal disease is high and the only main cause of extractions [1-4]. But other studies carried out in various parts of India clearly showed a high incidence of caries involving almost the entire population [5-8]. The purpose of this present study was to determine the apparent reason for tooth extraction in hospital based study...... ReadMore

Replacing a tooth to an existing RPD after an extraction allows the patient to have an immediate esthetic replacement. If this can be done immediately in the dental chair, then it eliminates the need for an impression(s), a lab procedure, expense and a return visit for the patient. An interim prosthesis will allow patient use of the RPD while the extraction site heals. It can also eliminate the need to make a new RPD if all esthetic and functional requirements are fulfilled. Some form of retention will be needed to secure a replacement denture tooth to the RPD. Existing clasps [1], adjacent denture teeth [2], solder or laser welded retention [3], wire loops [4] and simple undercuts have all been used to add or repair an RPD. An endodontic post can add significant retention to a resi..... ReadMore

Incisor relationship anomalies are the main reason for consultation among our patients, especially when they are associated with dental crowding. The reason is that the impact is felt on the aesthetic of the smile essential parameter of the demand for orthodontic treatments [1]. The clinical form and degree of severity [2,3] depend on the etiological factors and the relevant dentoalveolar or skeletal structures involved in the onset of incisor relationship abnormalities. The therapeutic approach is chosen considering these factors but also the age of the patient and the stage of growth. In most cases, it is preferable to opt for early treatment mainly when the problem is dentoalveolar or functional, the chances of success are greater in the sho..... ReadMore

Fear and anxiety of dentistry are very common in children and adolescents. Although these unpleasant feelings are due to several factors, one of its main causes is hearing the painful experiences of dental work from a friend or family members.For pediatric dentists, uncontrolled panic in young patients can lead to physical reactions such as screaming, crying or psychological reactions such as fear and lack of cooperation with the dentist. Subsequently, this will cause the problem in control of the child’s behavioral, a contention between the parents and the treatment staffs, the failure to achieve the desired treatment, and eventually dissatisfaction of the parents......

The whiteness of the teeth can be a sign of extreme health of the mouth and teeth; and some people do everything they can to keep their teeth whitening as possible, which includes several times brushing during the day, regular referrals to the dentist for the special cleaning of the teeth, and the use of bleaching or whitening products. But sometimes on the tooth surfaces, white opaque spots will be appearing. This white shade is distinct from other parts of the tooth; and its presence on the teeth is annoying for some people. The presence of white spots on the teeth can be a sign of their decay (1), so finding out the reasons is important. The main factors are involved in the formation of white spots can be summarized in 5 topics; fluorosis, plaque accumulation, diet, enamel hypoplasia, and sleeping with an open mouth. This problem is ..... ReadMore

Adhesion to dental tissues is one of the main lines of research today, mainly the chemical evolution of adhesives, which allowed the restorative procedures to be performed with greater speed and predictability. Bonding to dentin is a unique form of tissue engineering in which a matrix of demineralized collagen with residual crystals of hydroxyapatite is used as the basis for the infiltration of resinous monomers, forming the hybrid layer. Most adhesive systems currently available on the market produce good initial bond strength values, allowing the clinician to stick to the dental structure without the need for retentive preparation [1]......

Nowadays, when we enter a pharmacy, we come across a variety of healthcare products that come to the market every day. Types of masks, gels, detergents and etc., which may look identical in name and application but claim to be totally different and each has its own user extent. Some of these products are commercial in nature, and some are not so important in maintaining health, and in fact, one’s health is not dependent on them. Perhaps that’s why each of us never consumed some of these health and beauty products, and we do not even know them at all. If the product does not directly interact with our health, we do not need to carefully look at the need to how to consume them and do not curious about them, but when it comes to products that claim to protect our child’s health, the matter becomes more quite critical and wo.....
