Background: More than 95% of all countries worldwide reported infections with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 described as coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, most countries put physical distancing measures (e.g., closing of public, cultural, and educational institutions) in place to decelerate the infection rate. Consequently, dental education at universities worldwide is strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study was done to know the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on dental education. Materials and Methods: A self-designed, structured, online questionnaire of 22 close-ended questions was generated and distributed among the undergraduates and postgraduate dental students in Bangalore city. A total of 450 forms were sent through online by messages, WhatsApp, and emails. Online consent was obtained before participation in the study and it was mandatory to answer all questions. Data obtained were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics, and significant proportions were available. The level of significance was considered as P ≤≤≤ 5. Results: The study showed that in this pandemic, 73.4% of the students feel e-learning as a boon for learning dental students, but 87.1% of students feel classroom lectures are more interactive compared to online lectures. About 12.4% of the students felt difficult to access the Internet for online classes, whereas 87.6% of students had access. Students feel understanding clinical procedures is difficult through e-learning; hence, 83.6% of students search web for better understanding. Almost 92.5% of the students feel they are lacking clinical experience due to online classes. Conclusion: COVID-19 has definitely affected the world; similarly, it has affected the clinical practice of dental students in dental schools. As education continues through e-learning, still, few students are deprived of education due to access to the Internet.

The aim of this case report is to explain the etiology and management of C-shaped canals. An important anatomic variant in root canal morphology, the C configuration, presents as a thin fin connecting the canals with a predilection for mandibular second molars. Early recognition of the C-shape becomes imperative for its successful management. Newer diagnostic tools have facilitated a more precise diagnosis of this condition. Clinical and radiographic diagnoses can aid in the identification and negotiation of the fan-shaped areas. The inaccessible areas and unique canal patterns make provision of optimum treatment quality a highly challenging proposition. Successful endodontic therapy of this canal configuration can be achieved with rotary and hand instrumentation assisted with ultrasonics.

Purpose: This study evaluated and compared the amount of porosities in two different acrylic materials processed by two different curing cycles. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 mandibular edentulous master casts were fabricated by using a standard silicone mold. These casts were divided into two groups with 100 samples for each group and each group was divided into two subgroups with 50 samples depending on the curing cycles. On the master cast, a wax pattern was fabricated with 2 mm of thickness and processed by conventional flasking method to obtain the mandibular master specimen. This master specimen along with the master cast was flasked and mold space was created for the placement of test specimens. All these samples were subjected to curing cycles along with the test specimens followed by porosity analysis of the specimens. Results: ANOVA analysis inferred that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean porosity values between the groups. Conclusion: Analysis of mean porosity of all groups reveals that heat-polymerized specimens of Dental Products of India (DPI) processed with a long curing cycle have lesser mean percent porosity values.

Background: Maintenance of color throughout the functional lifetime of restorations in teeth is needed for its durability. Color changes have been considered as the major problem of dental restorations. Long-term usage of pediatric liquid medications can stain the tooth as well as the restorative materials whose longevity and acceptability are directly proportional to its color stability. Aim: The present study aims to evaluate and compare the effect of pediatric drugs on the color stability of different esthetic restorations. Methodology: Three different restorative materials such as glass-ionomer cement, composite, and ACTIVA KIDS were used to prepare a total of 150 (50 from each) specimens. These specimens were divided into five experimental subgroups (n = 10), which were immersed in 5 different liquid medicines. The color stability of all specimens was evaluated by colorimeter before and after the immersion period. Results: Composites in iron supplements showed the highest color changes, and the least changes were seen in the ACTIVA KIDS - Ibuprofen group. Conclusion: ACTIVA KIDS is found to be the most resistant to discoloration followed by GIC and composite. Iron supplements showed the highest staining ability among all the medications.

Introduction: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) global burden of disease project, chronic kidney disease is the 12th leading cause of death and 17th leading cause of disability in the world. Statistics show that 90% of the patients suffering from chronic renal failure face oral health-related problems. The objective of the study was to assess the oral health status and treatment needs in hemodialysis patients at Raichur district, Karnataka. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 110 patients undergoing hemodialysis at Raichur district, Karnataka. Oral health status was assessed using the WHO assessment form 1997. Oral Hygiene Index – Simplified (1964) was used to assess the Oral Hygiene Status. Results: The mean age of the patients was 43.99 ± 12.80 years and the mean Decayed Teeth, Missing Teeth, Filled Teeth (FT), and Decayed Missing FT was 2.53 ± 2.39, 4.39 ± 7.57, 0.08 ± 0.30, and 7.00 ± 7.01, respectively. The prevalence of dental caries was 94.5%. Calculus was seen in 60.9% of the patients. Oral hygiene status was poor in 49.5% of the patients. The mean number of teeth required treatment was 4.4. Conclusion: This special population has high prevalence of dental caries and poor oral hygiene which needed periodic health education and intervention.

Background: The outer surrounding surface of the lips has elevations, depressions, normal lines, and fissures in the form of wrinkles and grooves present in the zone of the transition of the lip which can be used in the identification of a person. Aims: The aim was to determine the predominant type of lip print among a sample of the Sudanese population and to assess the relation between lip print with age and gender. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study among 394 (150 males and 244 females) adult Sudanese participants living within the Khartoum city. Those with a history of lip injury, congenitally deformed lip, children, very old or coming from the eastern region were excluded. Red lipstick impression with a white chart paper in the normal rest position of the lips by dabbing it in the center first and then press it uniformly toward the corners. Lip print type was assessed according to Suzuki and Tsuchihashi's from type 1 to type V. Comparison between variables by Chi-Squire with the level of significance set at P value of <0.05. Results: Result showed a unique different type of lip print among peoples coming from different regions and different tribes in Sudan. Type I was predominantly among the studied population and the least was type V. The predominant type of lip print among those their origin is from the Northern was type I (32.6%), type II was among those from Southern (28.6%), and type I' among those from Western (33.3%). There was no statistical significance difference between the type of lip print among male and female or between different age groups. Conclusion: Type I' lip print pattern was most common type of lip print pattern among the studied population with no association between age or sex and lip print type. Increasing sample size and conducting the examination on participants from different regions in Sudan, can eliminate any confounding factors and gives valid and reliable findings.

Increasing sample size and conducting the examination on participants from different regions in Sudan, can eliminate any confounding factors and gives valid and reliable findings.","PeriodicalId":14257,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Preventive and Clinical Dental Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"31 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90320021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purpose: This study evaluated the bond strength of acrylic resin denture teeth to heat cure denture base resin processed under different curing cycles and after various surface treatments on the bonding surface area of acrylic denture teeth. Materials and Methods: A two-piece metal mold of 35 mm length and 12 mm diameter was fabricated to standardize the attachment of teeth at 45°. Ninety such wax cylinders were obtained and were randomly divided and coded into three groups of 30 samples each: Group “A” – the “Control” group, Group “B” – the “MMM” group, and Group “C” – the “Acetone” group with Subgroup 1 – processing with short curing cycle and Subgroup 2 – processing with long curing cycle in each group. These 90 wax cylinder specimens were then flasked, dewaxed as per the standard protocol and surface treatment of teeth, and curing was done. The samples were tested in a universal testing machine. Results: ANOVA analysis inferred that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean bond strength values among the groups. Conclusion: Analysis of mean bond strength values reveals that the mean bond strength values of acetone were significantly higher (P < 0.05) when compared to the other groups.
