Background: Hundreds of millions of nosocomial infection cases are estimated yearly worldwide. Nosocomial infections significantly lead to death and financial losses in the healthcare system. There is a need for infection mitigation, one of them is using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The importance of using PPE is still not supported by its compliance. Aim and Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitude toward PPE use among professional dental students at RSGM Universitas Jember. Materials and Method: The research method uses quantitative observational analytics cross-sectionally with questionnaires given through google forms and checklists filled out by researchers during observation. Variable involvement consists of knowledge, attitude, and practice in using PPE. It took 132 professional dental students as the respondents whose selection was done by stratified random sampling. Data analysis was performed univariate and bivariate using Microsoft Excel and the chi-square test on SPSS. Results: 81.8% of respondents had a good level of knowledge of PPE use, 81.1% of respondents had a positive attitude towards using PPE, and there were 22% of respondents who were not compliant using PPE. Respondents who did not comply with PPE came from dental treatment-producing aerosols. There was a relationship between knowledge and PPE use (p-value 0.002), but no relationship was found between attitude and PPE use (p-value 0.792). Conclusion: There was a relationship between knowledge and PPE use but no relationship between attitude and PPE use.

The visual specialty of oral pathology guides a pathologist into the world of minute details in complex tissues. When we see certain sick cells or bodies, we can become locked in a state of flux because our eyes are more used to seeing normal morphology in cells and structures. Despite the fact that they may be misleading in appearance, they help the pathologist make a diagnosis because they are pathognomonic for a number of diseases and ailments. Hence, the present article is an attempt to compile different histopathological bodies seen in various diseases associated with blood, skin and neural diseases along with metabolic and storage disorders with special emphasis on pathogenesis, microscopic and stains used to highlight features of the same.

Introduction: The precise reproduction of the abutment (implant) provides clinician with crucial clinical information of the relative position and orientation of the implant to other implants, teeth and soft tissue that allow them to fabricate exact- fitting, bio-integrated restoration. For that it is necessary to expose, access & isolate the implant region, especially when cement retained implant prosthesis are in consideration, where conventional crown and bridge impression and optical impression technique is used. Material and Method: Patient who accepted to participate were chosen for the study. Coincidentally all 15 patients were female. They were explained the purpose and methodology, agreed for periodic follow up at the interval of one month after placement of healing abutment and 7 days after using the retraction cord. Conclusion: The conclusions that were drawn from this study are: Both materials showed clinically and statistically significant amount of vertical soft tissue displacement. Among the both soft tissue displacement agents, non-impregnated retraction cord showed the more vertical soft tissue displacement than Expasyl Paste. But, the amount of retraction offered by this paste is limited with extremely subgingival margins. But the advantages with Expasyl paste over the retraction cord were its ease of application, painless, quick, and without agony to the patient.

Introduction: The loss of natural teeth, whether replaced with dentures or not, can affect quality of life, particularly oral health-related quality of life. The loss of one or more teeth causes functional impairment that has a very negative impact on quality of life. Severe tooth loss greatly affects a person's quality of life and affects their survival. Methods: This study used a descriptive approach with a cross-sectional design. The 97 samples in this study were taken by accidental sampling method. The research instrument used in this study was the OHIP-14 questionnaire. The research data were then processed and analyzed with the Pearson correlation test. Results: Pearson correlation analysis obtained p (<0.05) which indicates that there is a significant relationship between tooth loss and quality of life related to the oral cavity. Conclusion: Tooth loss is associated with quality of life related to the oral cavity. Therefore, promotive and preventive efforts for oral health need to be improved for better health.

Edentulism is a prevalent oral health issue that negatively impacts the quality of life of the patient on a social and psychological level. For the treatment of edentulism, implant-supported prosthesis replacement is the most successful and supported treatment plan. Placement of an implant in the maxillary arch exposes a clinician to various complications like the quality of bone, pneumatization of the maxillary sinus, atrophic ridge, etc. This issue can be addressed with bone augmentation techniques using various bone graft materials which can improve the quality of bone and can also protect the sinus membrane. Current concepts in implant dentistry rely on techniques that are minimally invasive. Elevation of the sinus membrane can be performed by a minimally invasive procedure with the help of DASK kits. This case report discusses the full mouth maxillary rehabilitation with immediate implant placement after extraction of hopeless teeth in the anterior region followed by bone augmentation, indirect sinus lift and delayed implant placement in the maxillary molar region using a hydraulic sinus lift DASK kit. The patient has been reviewed periodically and the maxillary arch was later restored using a malo-bridge.

The goal behind periodontal treatment is to accomplish regeneration of tissues affected by periodontal disease. Periodontal regeneration is the restoration of original architecture and function of periodontal tissue. Tissue engineering is a way to repair or restore human tissue. It may provide a promising approach to regenerate complex periodontal tissue. Strategies to tissue engineering are conductive approach, inductive approach and cell transplantation approach. The main aim of this review is to explain the available tissue engineering products, their importance and their advantages in terms of periodontal regeneration reported in the literature. Furthermore, we emphasize on recent advances in tissue engineering, gene therapy and nanotechnology.

Background: The Transitional/Immediate Complete denture is mainly fabricated to replace the lost teeth with the associated structures of maxillae and mandible and inserted immediately following the removal of remaining hopeless teeth. This Immediate Denture can be used for both partially edentulous or completely edentulous patients immediately after extraction of the teeth. Aim: Here, we present a case of 57-year-old female patient who underwent immediate extraction of her all periodontally compromised teeth and replacement of her missing posterior tooth immediately with an Immediate Complete denture. Conclusion: This mainly helps in restoring the vertical dimension, esthetics and phonetics of the patient.

AIM: The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to clinically evaluate and compare the effect of ozonated water and Low level laser therapy (LLLT) on the early wound healing period of gingivectomy and gingivoplasty wounds by clinical analysis. Materials & Methods: Forty-five patients were randomly allocated into 3 groups, test group 1 (ozone therapy n=15), test group 2 (LLLT application n=14) and control group (no treatment n=15). Ozone irrigation was done on the surgical site with a concentration of 4ppm for 5-10 minutes, LLLT application was performed with diode LASER (810 nm) immediately after the surgical therapy and on day 3, day 7, day 21. Wound surface area, wound healing index, quality of life, plaque index, sulcus bleeding index were investigated. Results: At day 21 statistically significant smaller wounds were observed in both ozone and LLLT groups compared to control group. However, intergroup comparison between the ozone and LLLT group did not show statistically significant difference in wound surface area evaluated by staining technique and image J analysis. The wound healing index, VAS score OHIP -14 questionnaire, analgesics consumed, plaque index, sulcus bleeding index showed a statistically significant reduction from baseline to day 21in all groups. Conclusion: Ozone therapy is safe and effective in promoting wound healing during the 1st 3 weeks post-surgery. Ozone therapy and LLLT application enhanced wound healing after gingivectomy and gingivoplasty procedures, accompanied by better quality of life and reduced pain .
