A chronic inflammatory condition of the oral mucosa with an unclear cause, oral lichen planus (OLP) affects 2% of the population. The management of OLP has been considered from a variety of therapeutic angles. It is difficult to utilize a single, set therapy approach since disease activity is changing. Due to the disease’s refractory nature, the currently available medicines are still unable to totally cure it. Because of its potent oxidizing properties and excellent antibacterial activity (against bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and protozoa), ozone therapy has attracted significant attention in the medical and dentistry fields. Studies have shown that low O3 concentrations promote cell defensive pathways without causing cell harm. Various forms of ozone such as ozonized water, gaseous ozone, and ozonized olive oil have been tried clinically to cure OLP. This paper presentation is review of all the forms of ozone therapy for the management of OLP.

The core of dental practice is clinical decision-making. Geographic information system was used in our study to evaluate the clinical decision-making of dental practitioners in urban and rural Tiruppur district, Tamil Nadu. This cross-sectional study included 50 certified dental practitioners from both urban and rural areas. The research was conducted in June 2022. The tem-item and self-administered questionnaire was designed to collect data on practitioner, patient, and provider characteristics. The questionnaire was distributed to participants through an online Google form forum, and the results, clinical decision-making, were quantified using a series of hypothetical case situations. The association between rural and urban dental practitioners was assessed using the “Chi-square test.” Twenty-six (14 [56%] urban and 12 [48%] rural practitioners) chosen the most conservative treatment approach of coronoplasty for asymptomatic impacted mandibular 3rd molar. Thirty (17 [68%] urban and 13 [52%]) rural practitioners preferred the conservative treatment plan of removal of caries followed by GIC Restoration for class I dental caries in a 7-year-old child. For the case scenario relation to class I malocclusion with spacing, 16 (64%) of urban dental practitioners preferred aligner-based treatment rather than fixed orthodontic appliance. This treatment choice differs statistically between urban and rural practitioners. The current research revealed an association between non-clinical features and dental professionals’ self-reported treatment preferences. It provides a foundation for future research into the elements hypothesized to impact dentists’ treatment decisions.

Many conditions such as malignancy, osteomyelitis, osteonecrosis, or osteoradionecrosis affect oral cavity particularly the jaw by impairing the bone formation and resorption process. Eradication of these conditions may sometimes require resection of whole of jaw bone or a part of it. Reconstruction or rehabilitation of the lost part is necessary for higher quality of life. Hence, it is important to bring this topic to limelight and evaluate the level of knowledge. Furthermore, it is important to assess awareness present among interns and postgraduates (PGs) for the reconstruction techniques. The overarching aim of this study was to conduct a survey to evaluate the awareness and knowledge regarding different mandibular reconstruction among interns and PGs. An online questionnaire-based study using Google forms was carried out among interns and PGs of VSPM’s dental college and research center. General characteristics, designation, reconstruction techniques, goals and criteria for reconstruction, grafts, and classification of defects were assessed. A total of 100 participants participated in the survey. About 50% among them were interns and 50% were PG students. About 92% of PG participants were aware about the different mandibular techniques, while among the interns only 88% were aware. A significant difference existed in responses collected from interns and postgraduate. PG students were more aware about the reconstruction and rehabilitation options. Further, upgradement of technologies in this field can improve quality of life of cancer patients and dentist can help to provide it. Knowledge and attitude toward rehabilitation can improve the promptness of delivery of health services.

Precancerous lesions, benign and malignant tumors, are the major causes for defects in the oral and maxillofacial region; hence, reconstruction of these defects emphasizes restoring the patient’s, form, function, and cosmetic appearance, thereby improving the quality of life. In our technique, we have used a modified technique by raising a superiorly based platysma myocutaneous flap through a single incision, rather than giving two incisions and we have increased the length of the pedicle for the reconstruction of patients with oral submucous fibrosis.

An attractive smile makes the appearance even more pleasing. The advent in the materials and technology in the field of esthetic and restorative dentistry, along with the increased awareness and esthetic demands of the society, smile designing has gained a lot of importance. Instead of traditionally proceeding with the treatment of such cases, digitalization not only aids in simplifying the treatment but also helps in better patient communication and acceptance by elevating their participation in the treatment plan proposed.

A process of acquiring knowledge by a person is called education. At present, educational system focuses on the ways with which the students are being educated. The pandemic condition, due to coronavirus disease of 2019, has made online learning compulsory for one and all. Students are not introduced for this new technique to use for longer time and dental practitioners spend more time in clinical learning. The aim of the study was to assess the attitude of dental students toward academic online learning as compared to traditional ones during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Questionnaire was made using software Google Forms which was based on determining attitude of students toward online learning and send to around 75 students. A total of 63 students responded to it, received in the form of mails. The data were collected and statistical analysis was performed. About 93.7% of students selected traditional classroom lectures and clinical demonstrations and 6.3% of students selected online lectures/ webinars/demonstrations regarding the preference of learning method. Regardless of the various advances in the learning methods, students would like to continue with the traditional classroom learning rather than online learning after the COVID-19 lockdown is over.

For successful endodontic therapy, clinicians must have a thorough understanding of the complexities present in the root canal system such as accessory canals, lateral canals, furcal canals, and apical ramifications. It has been reported in the literature that lateral canals and/or apical canals are likely to be associated with pulp disease and canal reinfection. As a result, this emphasizes the importance of infection control not only in the main canal but also throughout the root canal system and its variations. The current article presents with an insight into the clinical aspects of lateral canals.

The objective of the study were to assess the knowledge and evaluate the attitude toward teledentistry during COVID pandemic among undergraduate dental students and interns of a private dental institute of Nagpur-MS. The study was conducted among the UG dentistry students and interns of VSPM Dental College & Research Centre, Nagpur, over a period of 1 month. A total of 307 students and interns were surveyed in this study. Out of them, 175 (57%) said that they were aware of the term teledentistry. Two hundred and twenty-seven (74%) participants felt that teledentistry can improve the reach of oral health care to rural areas and during pandemic and 256 (83%) said that they want to practice teledentistry. The knowledge of interns regarding teledentistry was good. Their attitude toward applying it in the profession was satisfactory. More than 80% of students were willing to practice teledentistry and 60% thought that it is the future of dentistry. The future perspective will be assessing more students and interns for more insight on topic.
