Background: Regarding the high prevalence of hyperlipidemia, which is one of the major risk factors of cardiovascular disease and periodontitis, which is a known bacterial infection, classified as local chronic inflammation. Aim: The present study aimed to assess and correlate periodontal parameters with serum lipid profile levels at baseline and 45 days after nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT). Results: It showed a statistically significant decrease in total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), very LDL and triglycerides, and a significant rise in high-density lipoproteins correlated with a significant reduction in the plaque index and gingival index, from baseline to 45 days after NSPT. Conclusion: It can be concluded that elevated serum lipids have a dysregulatory effect on the tissue response, which, in turn, affects the extent and progression of periodontitis, and in the presence of periodontitis, lipid metabolism will be affected through the systemic effect of cytokines.

The field of nanotechnology is expanding fast into many other scientific disciplines. The term “nanodentistry” describes the use of nanotechnology to the study of oral and dental health, as well as its treatment, prevention, and diagnosis. Nanotechnology is a promising new area. Nanotechnology in dentistry enables precise and rapid diagnosis. Because of the improvements in their qualities, dental materials are easier to work with and last longer. The benefits of nanodentistry are outlined in this review. Both present and future potential applications are discussed.

The new era in dentistry is the implant. However, implant placement in the pediatric patient is still a dilemma. Congenital hypodontia, anodontia, and oligodontia are rare in children. However, a variety of treatment options are available and one of the treatment options which can be given to this pediatric patient is the implant. In this review, we focus on implants that can be given to growing children and the effectiveness of the implant in growing children.

Background: Self-confidence is an essential attribute required for dental students to succeed in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS). Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the self-confidence levels of undergraduate dental students in India in relation to OMFS and assess the effectiveness of the teaching curriculum. Materials and Methods: The study involved 100 undergraduate dental students from a university in India, and a self-confidence questionnaire was used to assess their confidence levels. Results: The results showed that the self-confidence levels of the students were moderate, with most students reporting low levels of confidence in performing OMFS procedures. Conclusions: The study concluded that there is a need for the university to review and update the OMFS teaching curriculum to improve the self-confidence of the students in this area.

Background: Light plays an important role in polymerizing a light-cured resin-based composite as a hard restorative material. The present study was conducted to assess the functional efficacy of various light-curing units (LCUs) available to us. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Endodontics on 60 different LCUs of different manufacturers. Parameters such as type of light-curing unit, the curing protocol, and frequency of bulb replacement were also recorded. Results: Out of 60 LCUs, 26 were quartz–tungsten–halogen (QTH) and 34 were light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The mean intensity of QTH was 486.3 W/cm2 and of LED was 612.1 W/cm2. The difference was significant (P < 0.05). Nineteen QTH and 22 LEDs were satisfactory, while 7 QTH and 12 LEDs were unsatisfactory. The difference was nonsignificant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The authors found that maximum satisfactory results were seen with QTH type as compared to LED type.

This work has explored the feasibility of light fluorescence technique in treating dental caries. The decision to focus on this topic was based on the premise that the existing techniques of treating dental caries and other oral conditions are less sensitive, costly, and sometimes, destructive. Using a systematic review process where 36 articles were evaluated using a PRISMA approach, the work has shown that the light fluorescence technique has many benefits when compared to traditional approaches. Some of the traditional techniques used for treating dental caries include radiographic imaging, tactile, and visual examination. Despite the extensive utility of these approaches, light fluorescence technology emerges as a more reliable technique owing to the wide range of benefits such as sensitivity and ability for early detection. The review shows that a lot still needs to be done to understand many other benefits that come with the adoption of light fluorescence technology.

Introduction: Oral health is an integral part of general health and has an impact on the quality of life of children. Proper oral hygiene along with nutrition, regular dental visits, and fluoride (F) prophylaxis has got a significant impact on the oral health of children. Mostly, the family provides background for the development of knowledge regarding the use of F products among children. Hence, the aim of this study is to evaluate parental knowledge about the use of F products in children. The study included 356 correctly filled-in questionnaires from randomly chosen parents of children which were circulated through social platforms. Materials and Methods: The questionnaire contained 21 questions relating to F products used by children, as well as their benefits and usage limitations. For statistical analysis, descriptive statistics were performed. Results: More than 80% of parents have heard of F, and the main source of information was television/newspaper. Out of the parents, 59% of them believe that F can reverse early-stage tooth decay, whereas the other half do not agree with this. A very less number of parents are aware of the professional F treatments available in dental clinics. As per this study, 28.7% of school-going children had participated in school-based F preventive treatment. Among the mothers, 76% of them have not used any F-containing medications during pregnancy. Most of the respondents have not heard of the term fluorosis and are unaware of its symptoms. Conclusion: There is an association between the female gender and knowledge about the benefits of F prevention. The parental knowledge about oral hygiene and anticaries prevention with the use of F in children is insufficient. Most parents are neither familiar with the type of toothpaste their children should use nor aware of the proper amount of dentifrice to apply on a toothbrush. Dentists would be able to guide them by providing proper knowledge regarding F use. Care must be taken to ensure that a balance is maintained between maximizing the protective F effect against dental caries and minimizing the risk of dental fluorosis.

Residual ridge resorption is the reduction in size of the bony ridge under the mucoperiosteum. The resorption occurs faster in the mandibular arch as compared to the maxillary arch. Fabrication of any dental prosthesis over a compromised residual alveolar ridge is really a challenge for prosthodontists. The pattern of bone resorption observed in Atwood's Orders V and VI causes difficulty in providing successful dentures, especially lower denture where stability of denture may get compromised. This clinical case report elicits a combination of different impression techniques to improve mandibular denture stability in severely resorbed ridges preventing their further resorption.

Titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin (TPRF) is the future of modern regenerative dentistry that has a wider application not only in the periodontic field and implant dentistry but also in oral surgery, endodontics, tissue engineering, and other medical fields including orthopedic and plastic surgery. It accelerates wound-healing properties along with its antibacterial and antihemorrhagic are beneficial for patients which attract more clinicians to adopt this technology. To discover the biological properties of TPRF and its broader applications in the area of periodontic and implant dentistry, TPRF is increasingly being investigated. Positive growth and improved healing results and less patient pain have been seen in current studies.
