Background: The buccally displaced canines (BDC) are more commonly encountered conditions in orthodontic clinics. It is a positional variation result of several factors such as retained deciduous canines, crowding, and lateral incisors anomalous. Aims: To determine the prevalence and gender differences of one-two-three-four buccally displaced canines in the area of Shah-Alam, Malaysia. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 399 subjects; was consist of two age groups; 208 subjects of school children aged 12 years and 191 subjects of adults aged 18-23 years were examined clinically to determine the prevalence of BDC. Statistical analysis: The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 16; a Chi-square test was performed to assess the gender differences. Results: No gender differences were found in the school-children group while in the adults group a significant gender difference was found regarding one and four canine displacements (P < 0.05). The prevalence of one-two-three canine displacement was higher significantly between the two groups (P < 0.05). However, the frequency of one canine displacement was higher significantly in adult females and girls (P < 0.05). The frequency of three canines displacement was approximately equal in both genders. Conclusion: The frequency of one canine displacement was higher significantly in females. However, the frequency of four canines displacement was higher significantly in males. These features may help in providing additional clinical signs in diagnosis and interception of such clinical situation. It will be effective in treatment plan procedure if canine displacement is detected early, help clinicians on the prevention of impaction possibility.

Background and Objectives: Host Modulatory Therapy is a treatment modality for periodontal diseases. It aims at reducing the periodontal destruction and enhances the regenerative capacity of periodontal tissues. Various host modulating agents are used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing. Omega 3 Fatty acids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Aspirin modify the activity of inflammatory mediators and exert anti-inflammatory effect. The objective of the systematic review was to evaluate the effect of Omega 3 Fatty acids plus low dose Aspirin as adjunct to mechanical debridement in reduction of pocket depth in patients with periodontitis. Methods: In this systematic review, Randomized controlled trials in subjects with periodontitis in age group of 25-70 years were considered. Follow up period ranged from 6 weeks to 6 months. A systematic review of literature was performed using Pubmed, PMC, Google scholar, EBSCO host databases. Studies concerning the use of Omega 3 Fatty acids plus low dose Aspirin as host modulating agent in periodontitis treatment were selected. A total 2650 of studies were selected through search strategy and 5 articles which attained the inclusion criteria have been included in present systematic review. Results: Oral supplementation of omega 3 fatty acids in combination of low dose Aspirin as adjunct to mechanical debridement reduces the pocket depth during the 6 weeks to 6 months follow up period. Limitations: There are limited studies which are available. Also there is lack of data evaluating the long term follow up of the intervention. Conclusion: Use of omega 3 fatty acids and low dose aspirin in periodontitis patients improves periodontal status but further long-term studies need to be conducted.

Diabetes mellitus and periodontits are both highly prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases. Both diseases share the same risk factors and are a significant global health care burden adversely affecting the quality of life. Evidence from various studies have demonstrated that diabetes is a major risk factor for periodontal disease and is associated with increased incidence, prevalence and severity of periodontal disease. Hyperglycemia associated with diabetes mellitus results in an increased host immunoinflammatory response which adversely affects the periodontal health. Conversely, periodontits is associated with poor metabolic control in patients with diabetes and increased development of diabetic complications suggesting a bidirectional relationship between the two diseases. Periodontal infection via bacteremia exerts a wide systemic effect by contributing to chronic systemic inflammatory burden worsening diabetic state by increasing insulin resistance. Moreover, studies have demonstrated an improvement in glycemic control following periodontal therapy in prediabetic and diabetic patients with periodontitis.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate Well-Root ST in comparison with CeraSeal and AH Plus regarding cytotoxicity using (MTT) assay on human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells. Materials and Methods: Teflon mold was used to fabricate disc samples of each root canal sealer. Samples were divided into 3 groups: group (A) (Well-Root ST), group (B) (Ceraseal) and group (C) (AH Plus) in two evaluation periods (24h and 72h). All samples of root canal sealers were mixed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the discs were allowed to set in a at 37°C for 24 hours before extraction. Extract collected at each time point was diluted to various concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50% and 100% with DMEM to create a total of four different concentrations of each extract. DMEM incubated for 24 hours served as the control. (HEp-2) cell line was seeded in 96 well micro-titer plates and cultures were then subjected to 100 μL of the (12.5%, 25%, 50% and 100%) extracts medium while cell cultures with supplemented DMEM were used as controls. The plates were left in the incubator for 24 or 72 h before the cytotoxicity evaluation was carried out by (MTT) assay. Viability percentage was calculated and cytotoxicity was evaluated by rating according to cell viability relative to control group, non-cytotoxic (more than 90%), slightly cytotoxic (from 60 to 90%), moderately cytotoxic (from 30 to 59%) and severely cytotoxic (less than 30%) cell viability. Statistics: Data were collected, tabulated and statistically analyzed using one way ANOVA test and Bonferroni's post-hoc test. Results: According to evaluation time, Well-Root ST showed the highest viability values in all concentration percentages at both intervals (24 and 72 hours) while AH plus showed the least viability values. According to concentration percentage, The viability increased with decreasing the concentration in all tested groups. Conclusion: The evaluated root canal sealers showed varying degrees of cytotoxicity. However, Well-Root ST was associated with significantly highest cell viability percentages. 1- AH plus significantly showed less cell viability in comparison to calcium silicate-based root canal sealers.

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic insidious oral mucosal condition causing trismus and reduced mouth opening and it is affecting predominantly Indian and other Asians. The treatment of trismus requires combination of pharmacological agents, surgical therapy and physiotherapy, the latter is essential for preventing relapse due to postoperative inactivity and scarring as well as for improvement of mouth opening. Computerized literature search was performed from 1993 till 2021 to select eligible articles from the following databases: PUBMED [MEDLINE], SCOPUS, SCIENCE DIRECT, and COCHRANE DATABASE using specific keywords. The search was limited to articles published as full text in English, which were screened by two reviewers for eligibility.This article describes in depth about various appliances, devices used in oral submucous fibrosis. The devices can be used along with pharmacological and surgical treatment modalities or can be used alone. Mouth exercise is also well-established method to improve mouth opening and also to prevent postsurgical relapse. This article is one of the rare article that describes all the appliances together either directly used or indirectly used for the case of microstomia due to oral sub mucous fibrosis.

Mini implants have seen an evolutionary change in the phase of implant placement. The most common use for mini implant is the stabilization of over denture and orthodontic treatments, now they are used in pediatric dentistry for congenitally missing teeth and tooth loss due to trauma. Mini implants as a prosthetic replacement gives a psychological advantage to the child as it provides a feeling of his own teeth. A thirteen year old boy came to the department of pedodontics, KVG dental college, Sullia, with a chief complaint of spacing in the lower front tooth region since 4 years. On radiographic examination absence of 41, 31 were found. On model analysis, space deficiency was found in relation to the lower anterior and he was diagnosed with angle’s class I malocclusion with proclined maxxilary anterior teeth and congenitally missing lower central incisors. The patient’s main concern was on esthetics. Hence the patient was planned for a fixed provisional functional space maintainer using mini implant followed by crown prosthesis. The approach comes up with positive aesthetic and functional results that may reflect on self-esteem and social well-being of children and adolescents.

Regardless of the demonstrable success of fixed appliances like implants for the replacements of missing natural teeth in partially and fully edentulous patients, countable hindrances still persist. A crucial role is played by impressions used in the fabrication of dental implants for the success, durability and outcome of the restoration. An impression is a three dimensional negative likeness of the future position of the implant in the oral cavity. In view of the absence of periodontal ligaments that serve as natural compensators of the slight but significant details of the impression surface, therefore, impressions in implants are very crucial for implant success. Taking this factor into consideration, the present review article emphasizes on the different types of impression techniques used in implant dentistry.
