Background: Oral health is an integral part of the general health of an individual. Children spend a considerable period in schools and teachers are in an enviable position to influence and guide children. School-based oral health education (OHE) is valuable as children are guided when young during the formation of their oral hygiene habits. Aim: This study was undertaken with the objective of assessing the oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices of primary school teachers. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted among primary school teachers in Shirur village of Udupi district. A validated questionnaire was used, and a total of 103 teachers were assessed for their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding oral hygiene. Statistical Analysis: Data description and statistical analysis were obtained using IBM SPSS Version 21-computer software (IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, SPSS 21.0, Inc., Chicago, USA) in association with Microsoft Excel. Descriptive statistics were obtained, and the mean values and frequency distributions were calculated. Results: All teachers (100%) were unanimous in their agreement that oral health was an integral part of general health and 95.3% (n = 102) agreed on the need for periodic dental check up. A majority (55.8%) of the teachers brushed twice daily and 32.7% of them visited their dentist once every 6 months. All teachers were interested in delivering OHE in schools. Conclusions: School teachers can be effectively used for OHE in schools. There is a need for a comprehensive approach to include OHE in schools through activities such as dental examinations and demonstration of brushing techniques.
背景:口腔健康是个人整体健康不可分割的一部分。儿童在学校度过了相当长的一段时间，教师在影响和引导儿童方面处于令人羡慕的地位。以学校为基础的口腔健康教育(OHE)是有价值的，因为儿童在幼年时就形成了口腔卫生习惯。目的:本研究旨在了解小学教师口腔健康知识、态度及行为。材料与方法:采用横断面调查方法，对乌都比县舍鲁尔村小学教师进行调查。采用一份有效问卷，对103名教师的口腔卫生知识、态度和行为进行了评估。统计分析:数据描述和统计分析使用IBM SPSS Version 21计算机软件(IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, SPSS 21.0, Inc.， Chicago, USA)，并结合Microsoft Excel进行。进行描述性统计，计算平均值和频率分布。结果:全体教师(100%)一致认为口腔健康是整体健康的重要组成部分，95.3% (n = 102)的教师认为有必要定期进行口腔检查。大多数(55.8%)教师每天刷牙2次，32.7%的教师每6个月看一次牙医。所有的老师都对在学校提供OHE课程感兴趣。结论:学校教师可以有效地在学校开展OHE工作。有必要采取综合办法，通过诸如牙科检查和示范刷牙技术等活动，将职业健康教育纳入学校。

A 50-year-old male presented with nonrestorable fractured upper right first premolar. The implant was placed immediately after extraction, and guided bone regeneration (GBR) was performed simultaneously to correct the dehiscence at the labial aspect. Five months after implant placement, the treatment showed satisfactory results both clinically and radiographically. The periapical radiograph confirmed the complication-free integration of the implant and repair of buccal defect. Thus, immediate implant placement with simultaneous GBR in postextraction sockets with bony defects is a reliable technique with predictable results. However, this protocol is technique sensitive, and a number of guidelines and prerequisites need to be seriously considered, especially good primary stability and correct three-dimensional placement.

Management of internal resorptive defects are always a challenge for an endodontist. Internal resorption occurs mostly commonly due to trauma or a long stand chronic pulpal irritation following caries or trauma and is most commonly seen in the anterior teeth and sometimes in the posterior teeth as well. Early diagnosis and removal of underlying pathology are important for long-term success. The case paper reports nonsurgical management of a case of internal inflammatory resorption treated by root canal therapy followed by obturation with thermoplasticized gutta-percha.

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has the advantage of being less soluble than calcium hydroxide and offers an enhanced seal due to its setting expansion which hermetically seals the pulp space, preventing bacterial contamination from the outside. The use of MTA as an alternative material to calcium hydroxide for apexification has gained popularity. This case report presents the use of MTA as an apical plug for an open apex central incisor with periapical lesion.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare remaining root thickness, centering ability, canal transportation, and instrumentation time of Hyflex controlled memory (CM) and ProTaper (PTN) files in the primary root canals using a cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) analysis. Materials and Methods: Fifty freshly extracted human primary teeth with minimum of 7 mm root length were randomly divided into two groups (Group 1 – Hyflex CM files, Group 2 – PTN files) were included in the study. Teeth were scanned using CBCT before and after the instrumentation for both the groups. Remaining dentin thickness, centering ability, canal transportation, and instrumentation time were evaluated for each group. Results: A significant difference was found in remaining root thickness and instrumentation time between Hyflex CM and PTN file system. PTN files showed better remaining root thickness as compared to Hyflex CM files, and the mean instrumentation time of “PTN” was significantly less than “Hyflex CM files.” Conclusions: PTN file system was found to be faster with more remaining root thickness of the primary teeth and hence can be recommended for shaping the root canals of the primary teeth.

Objectives: To compare the force required to initiate sliding of rectangular stainless steel wire in monocrystalline ceramic bracket v/s polycrystalline ceramic bracket v/s stainless steel bracket using stainless steel ligation technique and to compare the force required to initiate sliding of rectangular stainless steel wire in monocrystalline ceramic bracket v/s polycrystalline ceramic bracket v/s stainless steel bracket using elastomeric ligation technique. Methods: The archwire was pulled in a vertical direction by the testing machine, until the resistance was overcome and the archwire started to slide through the bracket. The force to overcome resistance and to initiate sliding of the archwire was measured. Results: In metal brackets, there is minimum resistance to sliding as compared to the two different ceramic brackets. Among the two ceramic brackets polycrystalline bracket offered more resistance to sliding then monocrystalline bracket. Although SS ligation offered less resistance to sliding then elastomeric ligation in all three bracket types, the difference between the two ligation systems is not statistically significant. Conclusions: In maximum anchorage cases metal bracket along with SS ligation should be used to reduce the frictional resistance, enabling the use of lighter forces and eventually conserving the anchorage.

Background: With the advent of immediate single-stage implant placement, the edentulous patient can receive replacement in the same surgical visit, thereby reducing the time that has elapsed between tooth extraction and implant placement. There is a scarcity of literature that assesses patient's knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of dental students toward immediate implant placement, therefore the need of the study. Materials and Methods: A multiple-choice questionnaire consisting of 12 questions was framed and distributed to dentists between January 2019 and June 2019 from all the dental clinics in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India, who have entered their clinical practice with the primary objective to determine their KAP toward loading protocols of immediate and delayed implants. Results: Thirty-one percent of the respondents are aware of loading protocols of immediate implants and delayed loading and 69% were not aware of immediate implant procedures. Conclusion: Although dental implants have changed the outlook of dentistry in the past few decades, the knowledge and practice of implants by dental practitioners in Dhanbad is still limited, and there is a need to improve the same.

Aim and Objectives: The aim of this prospective clinical study was to compare the efficacy of a combination of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and biograft- HT® with that of platelet rich fibrin alone in healing of impacted mandibular third molar sockets after surgical removal of the same. Objectives were to compare the post-operative pain, swelling, trismus, periodontal health distal to mandibular second molar, quality of bone healing at the mandibular third molar socket at various time intervals. Methodology : This was split mouth study where PRF and biograft- HT® was placed on one side of the third molar extraction socket and PRF alone was placed on the other side in 15 patients with bilaterally impacted 3rd molars. Results: There was no statistically significant difference seen in any of the parameters Conclusion: This study does not prove statistically significant improvement in the efficacy of combination of PRF with Biograft- HT® when compared to PRF alone. The addition of Biograft- HT® to PRF increases the cost of the treatment while PRF alone is cost effective as it is prepared with patient“s own blood. Hence, the addition of Biograft- HT® to PRF can”t be recommended based on our study alone.
