Enhancement of Facial Aesthetics and Function in Periodontally Compromised Adult Patients by an Interdisciplinary Approach: A Case Series

Periodontium is a common link between Orthodontics and Periodontics. Orthodontics is dependent on the inflammatory changes in periodontium for effective tooth movement. Orthodontic biomechanics and treatment planning are dependent on the health of periodontium and certain changes in the same are required while treating periodontally compromised adult patients. In this case series, we present successful management of two periodontally compromised adult patients by an interdisciplinary team approach.

Historiography of Immunology in Oral Pathology-A Concise Review

The historiography of immunology has become a bustling, pluripotent discipline, and continues to develop in many new and exciting directions that include immunohistochemistry and immunopathology in the field of Oral pathology. Immunology, the science that studies the structure and functioning of the immune system, began long before anyone knew about disease causing microbes or even that individuals had an immune system that protected the body against disease. In the field of Oral pathology, one encounters various immunological diseases in routine day-to-day practice, hence having the complete knowledge on this aspect which many a times is overlooked, is of utmost importance for proper investigations and latest research in this field that in turn comes from the past historical knowledge. The terminology and techniques today have the foundation in the past. The historical considerations of past events give perspective to the present programmes and direction for future development. Hence, the present review is a good starting point for compiling the historiography of immunology in the field of Oral pathology and includes a short compilation of the past historical background about basic immunology, hypersensitivity and autoimmunity. In addition, future consideration of this discipline in Oral pathology should be emphasized and targeted.

Pleomorphic Adenoma of Buccal Mucosa: An Uncommon Presentation among Cheek Swellings

Cheek mass is a common presenting problem in Oral & Maxillofacial OPD. It may be due to many underlying causes like inflammation, cyst or neoplasm. Common cheek swellings sometimes come out as an uncommon lesion on histopathological examination where the provisional diagnosis is challenged. Therefore the final diagnosis of common small cheek swelling is not complete till its therapeutic removal and histopathological examination. We represent a case of young healthy female who reported with swelling of right side buccal mucosa which was finally diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma based on histopathologic examination.

A Comparative Study to Access Cephalometric and Arch Width Characteristics of Class II Division 1 and Division 2 Malocclusions among a Indian and Turkish Population

Objective: To investigate the cephalometric and dental arch width in Indian population and to compare the same with Turkish population. Material and Methods: The dental arch dimensions of study cast of selected sample among Indian population was collected and the data was entered in the spreadsheet for the statistical analysis using SPSS software version 20.Inter examiner variability was tested among the trained dentist. The reliability between the examiners was tested two days prior to the study. Results: The difference of all the parameters was found to be significant when compared between Indian and Turkish population. Conclusion: The study yielded a database about dental arch width with different definitions by which different studies can be compared.

Human Papilloma Virus: Emerging Risk Factor in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma among Asians

Oral and oro-pharyngeal cancer grouped together is the 6th most common cancer in the world. Annual estimated global incidence is around 300373 for oral cancer (GLOBOCAN 2012). South East Asia region (SEARO) accounting for 1/3rd of total incidence of oral cancer in the world. Globally Oral cancer is seen more commonly in men than in women. The risk of developing oral cancer increases with age and the majority of cases occur in people aged 50 years or over.

To Comparison of Standard and New Chelating Solutions in Endodontics

Background: The use of 17% EDTA, followed by NaOCl irrigation during root canal instrumentation has been reported to effectively remove the smear layer from the root dentine walls. But EDTA is considered a pollutant and so it would be useful to identify alternative agents that offer greater biocompatibility. Materials and methods: The root canals of fifty single-rooted were randomly divided into five groups (n=10): 0.3% chitosan, 17% EDTA, 20% citric acid, 2.25% peracetic acid, and a control group (deionized water). The total volume of each chelating solution was collected and analyzed by FAAS for quantification of calcium ions. The roots were split longitudinally and examined by SEM for assessment of smear layer removal. Results underwent statistical analysis by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tamhane’s test. Results: 17% EDTA and 20% citric acid showed similar capacities for smear layer removal, with significant difference in comparison with 0.3% chitosan and the control groups; there were no significant differences between different parts of the roots. The highest calcium ion concentration was observed with 20% citric acid. Conclusion: 20% citric acid, 17% EDTA, 2.25% peracetic acid and 0.3% chitosan all removed the smear layer from the middle and apical thirds of root canals.

Immediate Implant Post-Extraction of Impacted Maxillary Canine: Systematic Review

Introduction: When impacted maxillary canines are not amenable to orthodontic traction or reimplantation, extraction is the only option available, followed by implant placement; this is a challenge due to the bone resorption frequently associated with complex tooth extraction that often necessitates bone grafting. Immediate dental implant placement appears to be the adequate strategy to replace missing teeth. Objective: The aim of this systematic review was the evaluation of implant placement immediately after removal of maxillary canine impacted. Methods: Detailed search in PubMed and Cochrane databases to obtain information on all reported cases and postoperative outcomes. There were no restrictions with regard to publication status or language of publication. Selection criteria: Only included all clinical reports of at least 1-year follow up and that treated by immediate implant in maxillary canine impacted extraction. Results: The initial database search produced 135 titles, after careful examination only 11 reports considered to be met the criteria for inclusion. The remaining reports were to be no met the criteria for inclusion. The results indicated a success rate significant for the procedure of immediate implant placement into impacted maxillary canine extraction socket accompanied by guided bone regeneration (GBR). This procedure allowing implant anchorage and primary stability to achieved. Conclusion: Our review suggest that this treatment is viable and with a good outcome, although more works is needed to determine adequate the results and thus determine the potential impact of this treatment alternative.
