Root canal therapy aims to clean, shape and debride the entire pulp space followed by its three dimensional obturation with an inert root filling material. Anatomic variations can complicate the steps of identifying, negotiating and managing aberrant canals thereby affecting the prognosis of endodontic treatment. The C shaped configuration is one such variation that often poses a challenge in debridement and obturation. Recent advances in radiography, magnification, irrigation and obturation techniques aid effective management of C shaped root canals. This article presents the management of two cases with C shaped canals using CBCT imaging, ultrasonic irrigation and thermoplasticized obturation techniques.

Since the beginning of human history, Cuminum cyminum seeds are habitually used in several cuisines of different food cultures. In India it is used in both whole and ground form as a traditional ingredient to make innumerable dishes without knowing their medicinal uses and properties. In Kerala, the decoction of the cumin seeds made from drinking water used for drinking purpose instead of ordinary water and in Tamilnadu cumin seeds used in daily to make food items called Rasam(soup) to eat with rice to increase the digestion. The fruits of Solanum lycopersicum are one of the important savoury vegetables used to increase the flavour of cooked foods. The oil and solid albumen ripe of Cocos nucifera (L.) fruits are commonly used in cooking and frying. Hence in the present study, the composition (paste) prepared by mixing of 2 drops of Solanum lycopersicum fruit juice, 2 drops of Cocos nucifera (L.) and 1gram of Cuminum cyminum seed powder were tested on the 100 subjects who are felt bad breath. The result of the present study showed effectively controlled bad breath in 91 patients even after on weak period of clinical trial and except 09 diabetic patients.

Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease associated with dysbiotic biofilms and aberrant host inflammatory response. It is characterized by destruction of the tissues that support the teeth. Periodontitis is the major cause of tooth loss in adults significantly affecting the quality of life and is associated with many chronic non communicable diseases by contributing to systemic inflammatory burden. Early and accurate diagnosis is the key to the successful management of periodontitis as the entire treatment plan, prognosis, and maintenance directly depend on the quality of periodontal diagnosis. Traditionally the diagnosis of Periodontitis is based on recording medical and dental history, periodontal examination and radiographic findings. The current periodontal diagnostic process reveals only historical tissue destruction and does not provide any information regarding current disease activity, future progression or for monitoring response to therapy. For these reasons, new molecular diagnostic aids are being developed that allow an early detection of disease, determine the presence of current disease activity, predict sites at risk for future breakdown and monitor the response to periodontal therapy. Advanced molecular diagnostic techniques are a class of diagnostic tests that are used to detect and measure nucleic acids, proteins or metabolites in clinical samples to identify risk factors, screen asymptomatic patients, provide more accurate diagnosis and guide the process of development of an ideal therapeutic intervention. This paper provides a review of the molecular diagnostic tools that have the potential to be utilized for diagnosis and management of periodontitis.

The periodontal aspects of orthodontic treatment are reviewed in this article highlighting the cases of maxillary expansion, molar extrusion, and class III malocclusions. Gingival recession is dependent on two main factors namely, gingival biotype and the bone morphology. Teeth when placed in the center of the alveolar ridge and having adequate bone support circumferentially and alveolar bone on the labial and lingual aspects of the roots are considered to the best for supporting the teeth. The arch width can be increased with expansion appliances such as RPE which may lead to undesired effects on the periodontium. In this article, we review how mini-screws can be used for expansion in posterior crossbite and protraction of maxillary arch in class III malocclusions to prevent periodontal issues.

The ability to correctly diagnose and institute effective periodontal therapy is essential to control periodontal diseases. Rapid advances in diagnostic research are moving towards methods whereby periodontal disease risk can be identified and quantified by measuring biomarkers. This study investigated the effect of Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment (NSPT) on clinical indices and salivary levels of visfatin in subjects with increasing severity of the periodontal disease. This interventional clinical trial was performed on 60 systemically healthy male and female subjects (20 to 50 years) who were categorised into Group-1, Twenty subjects with healthy periodontium, Group-2, Twenty subjects with generalized moderate gingivitis, and Group-3 (20 subjects with moderate to severe periodontitis (Stage III according to the new classification of periodontal diseases). The visfatin levels were measured in unstimulated saliva by using standard EnzymeLinked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique at baseline and six weeks after NSPT. The salivary visfatin levels were highest in Group-3 (38.22±3.38 ng/ml) followed by Group - 2 (26.66±2.24 ng/ml) and Group-1 (25.60±2.19 ng/ml) at baseline. After NSPT statistically significant reduction in salivary visfatin levels (p<0.001) in Groups -2 and 3 were seen. Visfatin levels at baseline were almost equivocal in normal weight and overweight subjects, irrespective of body mass index and showed a statistically significant reduction in salivary visfatin levels in both groups six weeks after NSPT (p<0.001). The present study suggests that salivary visfatin is a strong contributor in the pathology of periodontal disease and can be used as its diagnostic/therapeutic biomarker.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is third most common lesion of all localized hyperplastic lesions. Occurring most frequently in first and second decades of life in the anterior maxillary region which interferes with normal functioning. Since these lesions have high recurrence rate, excision under surgical microscope was planned as it offers greater versatility than conventional techniques by providing a range of magnification. Here we report 2 cases of POF which was excised under surgical microscope to achieve precise excision and enhanced esthetics.

Diagnostic imaging has a primary role in presurgical planning. Computerized tomography has become a standard for assessing the feasibility of implant surgery. Three- dimensional diagnostic assessments have a decisive value in presurgical treatment planning, especially in situations in which the alveolar process has pronounced resorption, and therefore insufficient bone volume for placing endosseous implants. These situations, which once limited the placement of implants in the posterior maxilla, can now be overcome via maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. In these cases, diagnostic imaging, in particular using CT scans, plays a vital role in providing reliable and necessary information. MR imaging reveals to be ideal imaging in diagnosing maxillary sinus augmentation.

Background: The prevalence of Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for about 25% of all the oral cancers. The surgical treatment plan comprises of excision of tumour, dissection of lymph node and tissue reconstruction for restoring functions. Case presentation: A 58-year-old patient reported with a painful mass on lower lip. It was an ulceroproliferative lesion on the right side of the lip and measures 15x9 cm in size. The excisional biopsy when taken showed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion: Excision of tumour, lymph node dissection and reconstruction are the ideal treatment modality that is followed for SCC of lip. Selection of reconstruction method is dependent on several factors and V-Y advancement flap which is commonly employed presents a leading edge in the treatment of carcinomas of lower lip.
