Introduction: The main non-enzymatic salivary antioxidant is uric acid. An important and innovative test for the analysis of antioxidants in the oral cavity is the SAT test, based on the determination of iron-reducing power. It is known that uric acid forms stable complexes with ferric ion and therefore it is possible that tests based on the determination of the ironreducing power might measure only the concentration of uric acid. Objective: The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that, in particular, the SAT test quantifies the reducing power of saliva in all its components. Methods: It has been quantified uric acid and iron-reducing power in saliva sample from 29 subjects. Iron-reducing power has been morover determined in some samples fortified in vitamin C. Results: A strong and significant correlation was found between the uric acid concentration and the iron-reducing power measured (r = 0.90, p <0.01), but data are not perfectly overlapping. Iron-reducing power of samples fortified in vitamin C is directly proportional to the addiction. Conclusions: The ironreducing power of saliva is simultaneous influenced by the antioxidants and not only the uric acids. The salivary ironreducing test (i.e. SAT test) are sensitive both to uric acid and to vitamin C and likely to all salivary reducing agents. Moreover the salivary iron-reducing test are an excellent estimate of the global antioxidant power of saliva and then of the oral cavity.
主要的非酶唾液抗氧化剂是尿酸。分析口腔中抗氧化剂的一个重要和创新的测试是SAT测试，基于铁还原能力的测定。众所周知，尿酸与铁离子形成稳定的络合物，因此，基于测定铁还原能力的测试可能只测量尿酸的浓度。目的:本文的目的是证明，特别是，SAT测试量化了唾液在其所有成分中的还原能力。方法:测定29例受试者唾液中尿酸和铁还原能力。结果:尿酸浓度与测定的铁还原能力之间存在很强的显著相关性(r = 0.90, p <0.01)，但数据并不完全重叠。含有维生素C的样品的铁还原能力与上瘾程度成正比。结论:唾液的降铁能力不仅受尿酸的影响，还受抗氧化剂的影响。唾液降铁试验(即SAT试验)对尿酸和维生素C都很敏感，可能对所有的唾液降铁剂都很敏感。此外，唾液铁还原试验是对唾液和口腔整体抗氧化能力的极好估计。

Modern day habits, sedentary lifestyles, hectic work schedule and lack of physical activity leads to stress accumulation in the body. Stress in turn results in depression, anxiety, mental health problems and leads to lack of motivation and personality disorders, a vicious cycle sets in. Stress response is the mechanism by which the body reacts to any threat or damage. An automatic process known as “fight or flight” comes into play due to the body’s defence mechanism, during a time of danger. High blood pressure, anxiety and depression are results of stressful lifestyle. Apart from affecting the mental and physical health, it also degrades oral health. Occurrences of canker sores, teeth grinding, TMJ disorders, gum diseases and dry mouth are a few to mention. Stress can exaggerate and cause tooth loss. Yoga is said to unite the body, mind, spirit and prevents impairment of cellular immunity seen during stress. Scientific literature has evidence that practise of yoga causes down regulation of the hypothalamic pituitary – adrenal axis and thereby improves mental and physical health. This review paper highlights the importance of YOGA-A HOLISTIC APPROACH in combating and preventing dental problems.

Background: Periodontitis is an infectious disease of the oral cavity involving the inflammation of the sustaining tissues of teeth. Anti-oxidant has an important role in protection of host against inflammation and infection. Hence, this study evaluated the salivary total anti-oxidant capacity in chronic periodontitis patients and healthy patients. Methods: A total of 40 patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 (healthy) consisted of 20 individuals with healthy gingiva of probing depth ≤3mm, GI =<1, PI=<1 and CAL=0 and Group 2 (chronic periodontitis) consisted of 20 individuals who had signs of clinical inflammation and a diagnosis of CP with PPD ≥ 5 mm, GI >1, PI> 1and CAL≥ 3mm. Whole saliva were collected and samples were analyzed for total anti-oxidant capacity (TAOC). The results were analyzed by student t test and Mann– Whitney analysis. Results: The result revealed that the total anti-oxidant capacity of saliva in the healthy group had significantly higher levels than periodontitis group. Conclusion: The level of total anti-oxidant capacity was lower in the saliva of chronic periodontitis patients, which results in early diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis.

Background: Physical activity has been shown to have a protective relationship with several chronic diseases. Recently, periodontal disease has been considered a risk indicator for poor physical fitness. Aim: The aim was to assess if there is an association between periodontal diseases and poor physical fitness. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised of 125 subjects of age 20 to 40 years. Physical fitness was assessed through physical fitness test (PFT) which comprised of sit-ups, push-ups and two-mile run. A PFT score (range of 1 to 300) was determined for each subject. Subjects scoring less than 180 were considered physically unfit. The periodontal clinical examinations were done for physically fit and unfit subjects by a single periodontist. The periodontal clinical examination included Gingival index (GI), Clinical attachment loss (AL), Probing pocket depth (PD). Results: The mean age of the sample was 26.65 (± 4.07 Standard Deviation [SD]) years. The sample size comprised of 76 %males and 24 %females. Higher percentage of body fat subjects showed significantly lower PFT scores [152.31 (± 24.50 SD) points] than low percentage body fat subjects [188.73 (± 21.10 SD) points]. The unfit individuals had an average gingival index of 1.89 (± 0.67 SD) compared to 0.96 (± 0.78 SD) for the fit individuals (p=0.03). Mean probing depth and clinical attachment level were 4.89 (± 1.89 SD) mm and 4.28 (± 1.47 SD) mm in unfit individuals and 2.87 (± 1.39 SD) mm and 1.33 (± 1.88 SD) mm in fit individuals, respectively (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our study confirms the significant association between periodontal diseases and poor physical fitness and periodontal disease may be considered one of the risk factors for poor physical fitness.

Aim: To evaluate Preston's ratio and Recurrent Esthetic Dental (RED) proportion in smiles of female patients who are satisfied with their smiles. Methodology: 86 subjects who fulfilled inclusion criteria for the study were selected. A distance of 30 inches was maintained between camera and subject. With the help of cheek retractor, cheeks were retracted and pictures of subjects were taken with camera. Images were transferred to computer. Using Bit rule software, mesio-distal width of upper anteriors was measured. Data were recorded and transferred to excel sheet. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tests and conclusion was drawn. Arthematic mean and student t test were employed to evaluate the data. Level of significance was, p=0.05. Results: Out of 86 smiles, 20 smiles presented with RED ratio. 27 smiles demonstrated Preston's ratio in lateral incisor to central incisor proportions, whereas 20 smiles demonstrated Preston's ratio in canine to lateral incisor proportions. Conclusion: Preston's ratio was more prevalent among lateral incisors and central incisors of all the smiles included in this study. But on analysis of canine to lateral incisor proportions, theory of Recurrent Esthetic Dental ratio and Preston's ratio displayed same results.

Aim: Aims of this research to study the effect of surface area on retention of complete denture. Materials and methods: Oral examination clinically, some properties of the physical and chemical of human unstimulated saliva have been evaluation. They constituted in three groups (25 in each the first and the third group) and (50 in the second group). The first group was healthy and aged (20-30) years, the second group was healthy and aged (50-70) years, also the third group aged (50-70) years but with systemic diseases. The following properties were studied: flow rate, pH, total protein, density, surface tension, viscosity and film thickness. The amount of total protein concentration was responsible for physical and chemical changes especially viscosity. There was a direct positive correlation between the amount of total protein and surface tension, viscosity, density and film thickness, while there was a negative correlation between total protein and with flow rate and pH. The measurement of force due to surface tension of these samples have been done by preparing two pairs of circular discs of (PMMA) of (5.2,6.5) cm in diameter and compare of force between these groups, also compare these physical analyses with mathematic analysis. Results: indicated that in both the first and the third groups, the physical and mathematic analysis for the retention showed there was non-significant changes while second group showed there was a significant changes. Conclusion: there was a positive correlation between force and wetted area and this force was due to the wettability and not to water sorption.

The decementation of glass fiber post can be attributed to the degradation of collagen fibers by matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) at the level of the intra radicular hybrid layer. The objective of the research was to compare the tensile bond strength of glass fiber posts that were cemented with previous treatment of the radicular dentine with chlorhexidine at 2% inside the adhesive protocol. Thirty eight bovine incisives were employed. The specimens were then divided into two groups (n=19): control group (it were realized the conventional procedure) and experimental group (it were realized the application of chlorhexidine at 2% inside the adhesive protocol). The tensile bond strength was measured with an Amsler universal tester machine. The data were statistically process with the T Student test for establish important differences in the two groups (p – value < 0.05). We obtained a great increases in the values to the tensile bond strenght to the glass fiber posts when apply chlorhexidine at 2% as an additional step between the acid etching and the application of adhesive system.

Background: Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. Ca is the widely studied inorganic constituent as a possible biomarker for periodontal disease. Hence, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the salivary levels of calcium in chronic periodontitis patients and healthy patients. Methods: A total of 40 patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 consisted of 20 individuals with healthy gingiva of probing depth ≤3mm, GI<1, PI<1 and CAL=0 and Group 2 consisted of 20 individuals with diagnosis of CP having PPD ≥ 5 mm, GI >1, PI> 1 and CAL≥ 3mm. Whole saliva samples were collected and subjected to estimation of salivary calcium levels. The results were analyzed by SPSS and Mann– Whitney analysis. Results: The level of salivary calcium increased as the disease progressed from health to periodontitis. The highest calcium levels from the Saliva were detected in group 2 while the lowest were detected in group 1. The results showed that the subjects in the periodontitis group had the higher levels of salivary calcium than the healthy group. Conclusion: The level of calcium was higher in the saliva of chronic periodontitis patients. Salivary calcium level can be used as biomarker for detection of periodontal disease.

An interim obturator acts as a bridge between surgical and definitive phases of treatment of a maxillectomy patient. Apart from restoring the functions of speech and deglutition, it has a great psychological benefit to the patient in regaining social acceptance. [1] For the success of a obturator it should cover maximum supporting area, utilizing all the favourable undercuts and utilizing the remaining teeth and reduction of the weight of the obturator is important. [2] This case report describes a modified technique for fabricating an overdenture with closed hollow bulb obturator.
