Cases with missing molars do need a well-executed treatment plan and a thorough knowledge of biomechanics to treat which usually leads to its prosthetic rehabilitation instead of orthodontic management by the orthodontists. Its orthodontic management is not only time consuming but also requires patience and proper treatment strategy involving right choice of appliance and auxiliaries to achieve the best possible results. Here in this case series we have tried to show different treatment modalities in cases with missing permanent molars leading to ideal post treatment outcomes.

Biomaterials are the materials that are used for the restoration and reorganization of various tissues as well as organs. Some of the common materials presently used are organic, metallic, and composites. To increase the biocompatibility of these materials, some types of coatings are regularly applied. Hydroxyapatite is one of the materials which is mostly used for coating these materials. Hydroxyapatite acquires the same structural and chemical characteristics as human bone. In the present review, we discussed the various aspects of hydroxyapatite coatings that consist of rationale, coating process, various techniques, and coating failures.

Aim:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different surface finish of various restorative materials on the wear of opposing enamel.Objectives of the study:1.To compare the amount of enamel loss in experimental groups of various restorative materials at different intervals of masticatory cycles. 2.To compare and evaluate the most compatible finished or polished surface of the restorative material causing least enamel wear. Materials and Methods: A total of 90 samples were prepared for this study - 75 in disc form and 15 enamel antagonist and divided into 6 groups. Group 1 - Enamel vs Enamel antagonist, Group 2 - Enamel vs Fiber Reinforced Composite disc, Group 3 Enamel vs Autoglazed metal ceramic disc , Group 4 - Enamel vs Overglazed metal ceramic disc, Group 5 - Enamel vs Polished metal ceramic disc by polishing kit, and Group 6 - Enamel vs PEEK disc were fabricated. 105 extracted premolars were collected and randomly divided into six groups of 15 each and 15 for enamel antagonist. Each tooth sample was weighed before wear testing using electronic analytical balance of 0.0001 g accuracy. Occlusal surfaces of these teeth were then abraded against the substrates in a wear machine for a total of 10,000 cycles. Each tooth sample was weighed after 5000 cycles and after the total of 10,000 cycles, respectively, using the same balance. Differences in weight of tooth samples before and after wear testing were evaluated statistically using One-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post hoc tests was used. Results: The values obtained for overall mean percentage weight loss after 10000 rotations in increasing order is observed: Group 1 (Enamel Vs Enamel 0.0043 ± 0.00) < Group 6 (Enamel Vs PEEK disc 00.0131 ± 0.01) < Group 2 (Enamel Vs Fiber reinforced composite 0.0258 ± 0.01) < Group 5 (Enamel Vs Polished metal ceramic disc 0.0294 ± 0.00) < Group 3 (Enamel Vs Autoglazed metal ceramic disc 0.0318 ± 0.01) < Group 4 (Enamel Vs Overglazed ceramic disc 0.0451 ± 0.01). Conclusion:PEEK showed the least amount of enamel wear followed by Fiber reinforced composite. Fiber reinforced composite may cause less wear than dental ceramics. Enamel wear produced by polished metal ceramic disc is substantially less than autoglazed and over glazed metal ceramic disc. This study indicates that any potential damage to ceramic can directly affect enamel and suggests that porcelain should be polished instead of over glazed. Key Words: Fiber reinforced composite, Autoglazed, Overglazed, Polished surface, Wear, PEEK.

Frenum is a mucous membrane fold that attaches the lip and the cheek to the alveolar mucosa, gingiva, and the underlying periosteum. The frena may endanger the gingival health when they are attached closely to the gingival margin. An aberrant frenum is presupposed to create functional and aesthetic problems. Archer’s ‘classical frenectomy’ is an extensive procedure including the excision of fibers, interdental papilla, and exposure of the alveolar bone up to the palatine papilla. The aftermath delayed healing, loss of interdental papilla, and unusual scar led toward the traditional approaches such as Edward’s frenectomy, frenum relocation by Z-plasty, and free gingival graft, with their practical and esthetic restriction. A superior approach to make a primary closure in midline and to bypass anaesthetic scar by creating a zone of attached gingiva, frenectomy is associated with lateral pedicle graft. Miller, in his study on 27 subjects, proposed that newly created zone of attached gingiva may have bracing effect inhibiting reopening of diastema. A case report of this approach with its well defined benefits is presented.

Presently, it is known that pathogenic bacteria are the key factors for the initiation of periodontal disease, but the host response and the severity of clinical expression are largely determined by genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. There is evidence that the individual response to the environment and variations in the immune response in periodontitis are associated with genetic factors. The gene polymorphisms like interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) genes and their factors that determine the production of various cytokines which play an important role in the pathophysiology of inflammation and periodontal diseases. A sequel of this realization is that if the genetic basis of periodontal disease susceptibility can be understood, such information may have diagnostic and therapeutic value. This review focus to upgrade the general practitioners and periodontist about various genetic polymorphisms associated with periodontal diseases to aid in a better approach to the condition in the future.

Hemangiomas of the head and neck are benign tumours that have their origin from the blood vessels. Hemangiomas are classified as capillary, cavernous , sclerosing and central type. The nature of this tumour is progressively slow growing, including involvement of greater portions of the superficial and deep blood vessels, functions maybe affected, depending on the location. Hemangiomas are common in the head and neck and have rare occurrence in the oral cavity. Lips, buccal mucosa and tongue are the common sites, hemangiomas occur rarely on the palate. This is a case of unusual location of capillary hemangioma on the palate in a middle aged man diagnosed by histopathology after surgical excision.

Abstract Aims and objectives: Tic douloureux is another name for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The first report of TN can be found in the writing of Avicenna in the 11th century, but John Fothergill gave the modern description of TN in his 1773 paper on the subject. The present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of Trigeminal Neuralgia (TGN) among north Indian population. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on the prevalence of Trigeminal neuralgia was conducted in the outpatient department of Oral Medicine and Radiology during a period of 5 years (1 January 2015 to 31 December 2019) months. All selected patients over the age of 18 were asked for their TN history using a structured questionnaire based on diagnostic criteria of trigeminal neuralgia according to the beta-version of the 3rd edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD3-beta) after acquiring their personal data (name, age, gender and address).Descriptive statistics included calculation of means and percentages. Data distribution was assessed for normality using Shapiro-Wilk test to check whether a sample came from a normally distributed population or not. The chi-square test is used to determine whether there is a significant difference between the expected frequencies and the observed frequencies in one or more categories. Student’s t-test was used to test the means between the samples. All values were considered statistically significant for a value of p<0.05. Results: Results: Out of 1500 patients, 26.67%were male and 73.33% were female. The peak incidence was in the age range of 60-70 years. Maxillary nerve (71.1%) was most commonly is involved followed by mandibular (20.2%) and ophthalmic (8.7%) nerve. The right side of the face (80%) was more involved than the left side (20%) of the face. The majority of patients described their attack as a shock like and of spontaneous onset. Conclusion: TN is often misdiagnosed as toothache, resulting in root canal therapy and tooth extractions. To recognize and manage this problem, an interprofessional strategy involving the primary care physician, dentist, neurologist, anesthesiologist, and neurosurgeon is required. Correct diagnosis and management can benefit patients and result in a good prognosis.

Surgical removal of impacted lower wisdom tooth remains as the most common dental surgical procedure that is performed on outpatient basis. In the present study, a total of 40 patients with impacted lower wisdom tooth underwent surgical extraction under local anaesthesia by using Normal saline as irrigating solution at two different temperatures that is refrigerated at 8-degree Celsius temperature and other NS at room temperature. The patients underwent standard operating procedures and medication. Post-operative complications in terms of pain, swelling, infection and delayed wound healing were assessed and compared on Day 1 and Day 3and 7th day after surgery. The result of this study showed that irrigation with cold saline decreases the post-operative complications and enhances the healing after third molar removal. A bigger scale of research with more samples is recommended to evaluate the most efficacy irrigating solution during surgical removal of impacted lower wisdom tooth.

Idiopathic gingival enlargement is a rare non-hemorrhagic, slowly proliferative fibrous lesion of the gingival tissue in which no causative agent can be identified. These type of enlargement causes esthetic and functional problems. This case report highlights the diagnosis and treatment of the idiopathic gingival enlargement of a 14 years old female patient who presented with a generalized diffuse type of gingival enlargement in both the maxillary and mandibular arches which covers maximum portion of the crowns.
