INTRODUCTION: Special Care Dentistry aims at management and prevention of Oro-dental diseases in disabled children, who spend most of their time in rehabilitation centres or special schools. Therefore, training their teachers and caretakers on oral health promotion will help to inculcate healthy oral habits in children during their formative years of life.
METHODOLOGY: A closed-ended questionnaire evaluated the knowledge, attitude, practices, and barriers toward oral health before and after the oral health training session. The training was done using a validated training manual on oral health promotion entitled as Oral health for families with special health care needs, along with conducting workshops, and delivering dental talks. Data was obtained and statistical analysis was done.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Evaluation of the data obtained was done twice to assess the difference between the scores before and after oral health education.
RESULTS: Maximum participants showed significant improvement in knowledge, attitude and practices towards oral health.
CONCLUSION: Continuous reinforcement of knowledge, conducting workshops and oral health check-up programs is required to eradicate the barriers and bring changes in Knowledge attitude and practices towards oral health among these teachers and caregivers.
KEYWORDS: National Education Policies for children with special needs, Knowledge, Oral health, teachers and caregivers.

Mucosal fenestration is clinical entity in which the overlying gingiva or mucosa is also denuded thus the root is exposed to oral cavity. If left untreated, they may be a source of infection by giving entry to oral pathogen, leading to further progression of periodontal disease. Depending on their site of presence, they may also be a reason of esthetic concern to some patients. This case report describes a situation where a mucosal fenestration developed in the upper left lateral incisor, which was successfully treated with followed by subepithelial connective tissue grafting.

Abstract:
Mucoceles are benign cystic lesions developing from minor salivary glands and commonly encountered in dental practice. Removal of mucoceles can be accomplished using various surgical methods, including scalpel excision, electrocautery, cryotherapy, and laser surgery. Diode lasers have been found to be a safe and effective treatment modality for mucocele removal due to their precise and minimally invasive nature. This article aims to discuss the use of diode lasers for excision of mucocele.

Aims and objectives: The clinical efficacy of different forms of denture adhesives have been inconsistent among studies with unclear differences among them. The aim of this study is to evaluate the masticatory efficiency and satisfaction of complete denture wearers without and with the use of two different forms of commercially available denture adhesives.
Material and Methods: 30 edentulous participants with new complete dentures placed one month before the commencement of the study were included in this cross-over randomized clinical trial (CTRI/2021/07/035238) which compared a powder adhesive and a cream adhesive along with no adhesive use. The objective assessment used the Edlund and Lamm index for masticatory efficiency and the subjective assessment followed a specially designed questionnaire. Both assessments were carried out on days 0,7 and 21. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the objective data and the questionnaire responses were obtained as percentages.
Results: The one-way ANOVA test for difference between the groups was statistically insignificant for all layers (P>.05). The questionnaire responses revealed that 53.3% of the participants preferred the use of cream adhesive over powder adhesive.
Conclusions: No significant difference in the masticatory efficiency was noted between the two denture adhesives and without adhesive use. Patient satisfaction was greater with adhesive use showing a predilection towards cream adhesive due to its longer duration of action and improved chewing ability.

Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare congenital disease that affects several ectodermal structures. Children with ectodermal dysplasia may have various manifestation of the disease that differ in severity and may involve teeth, skin, hair, nails, sweat glands and sebaceous glands. A 16 years Old girl reported in the department of Prosthodontics and crown bridge,with chief complain of of inability to masticate and her unesthetic appearance. She desired replacement of her missing teeth. Family history revealed similar findings in her 18-year old brother. Clinical findings and family history suggested a diagnosis of hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia. The present clinical report demonstrated that maxillary flexible RPDs associated with direct composite restorations, Zirconia crowns and mandibular complete denture with CEKA supported Stud attachment are a reversible, relatively inexpensive method of treatment for ectodermal dysplasia patients especially during their growth years. The esthetic, light weight, and good retentive and fracture properties of the flexible denture base materials make a good alternative to the conventional and cast partial dentures.

Aim and Objectives: To evaluate and identify the diversity of dental patterns in the Indian population based on specific patterns and measurethe incidence of dental diversity in the full dentition, as well as maxilla and mandible individually in Indian population.Materials and Methodology: 600 digital Orthopantomogram were randomly selected from the department of oralradiology satisfying theestablished criteria. The code was given to each tooth and collective dentition on the radiograph formed the dental pattern of that particular individual.The diversity in the dental pattern was measured and assessed for their distinctiveness. Moreover, the 3rd molar angulations were taken as a criterionand their prevalence was measured.Results: The diversity of dental patterns observed for full dentition, maxilla and mandible were found to be 99.8, 99.6, and 99.7%, respectively. Thecomparison of dental patterns between maxilla and mandible showed highly significant results. On comparing patterns among males and females,rd statistically insignificant results were obtained. Moreover, the impacted 3 molars were noted to be more commonly present in the mandible and wereof the vertically impacted type.Conclusion: Identification by dental characteristics can have a variety of conclusions like identification without discrepancy, consideration of apossibility of identification, insufficient to reach a conclusion and definite exclusion.In addition, this study strongly promotes the need for maintainingand periodic updating of patient records in every dental setting.

The pulp and periodontium are connected anatomically, functionally, and developmentally. It might be challenging to diagnose and arrange effective treatments when pulpal issues and inflammatory periodontal disease coexist. One of the most frequent oral cavity cysts is the radicular cyst, which is typically brought on by trauma or an infection. There are a number of techniques that are now being used to enhance postoperative recovery and hasten the repair and regeneration of the damaged area. An investigation revealed that a 38-years-old patient had a radicular cyst, which was initially treated by endodontic treatment of the involved teeth, followed by enucleation of the cyst and a further bone graft placement followed by Platelet rich fibrin membrane. The patient's main complaint was pain in lower front jaw region for two to three months. Patient also had few episodes of pus discharge on its own through the same region. After three months, there was an increase in clinical attachment level and a decrease in probing depth. There was a sizable bone fill, according to radiographic findings.

Dental implants are believed to be the best treatment option for patients looking for replacement of missing teeth, particularly in the esthetic zone. Peri-implant mucosal recessions can be the main esthetic problem in anterior areas, while in the functional zone the coverage of exposed implants is not main concern, because the cleaning methods of these structures are much more important. Free gingival graft (FGG) is considered as a common treatment modality for increasing soft tissue thickness and keratinized mucosa at natural teeth and implant sites. In this case report 54 year old male patient presented with chief complaint of unaesthetic dental implant exposure in lower front region of the jaw since 6 years. Free gingival graft technique was used to cover the exposed implant. In 6 months follow up 80% of the coverage was seen.

Abstract Biomaterials engineered to interact with biological system for either therapeutic (treat, augment, repair or replace a tissue function of the body) or a diagnostic purpose have underwent biological evolution over a period of time. This can be attributed to advent of new innovative technology combined with human curiosity for search of new materials that mimic biological tissues in terms of physical and chemical properties for orchestration of wound healing and tissue regeneration. The present review focus on the advancements biomaterials have undergone so far and new era of biomimetic dentistry.
