Using natural teeth as denture abutments can significantly slow the progression of residual ridge resorption.The abutments and the denture bearing areas can share the stress concentration. Overdentures can help reduce residual ridge resorption by providing sensory feedback, occlusal stability loss, aesthetics loss, and compromised mastication. Overdenture has been shown to be effective in reducing residual ridge resorption and increasing retention and stability. When edentulous areas are too large or numerous for fixed prosthesis and cross arch stabilisation is required, a cast partial denture is preferred. Insertion and removal of the denture, as well as regular oral hygiene, are simple procedures. The current case-report describes the rehabilitation of a partially dentate mouth using a maxillary castpartial denture and mandibular overdenture.

For many people, gingival hyperpigmentation is a serious cosmetic problem. Although black gums are not a medical issue, many individuals find them unsightly. Gingival depigmentation is a periodontal plastic surgical approach that removes or reduces hyperpigmentation. Different treatment techniques for gingival depigmentation have been documented, such as scalpel, cryosurgery, electrosurgery, lasers, and so on. This article compares case management with scalpel and laser.

The research project is one of the high-impact educational strategy because it cultivates essential skills and attitudes for lifelong learners. The development of research skills is equally important in health professions education. The main objective of this study was to record knowledge and perception towards research among BDS Interns. The respondents in the present study were interns of Sharad Pawar Dental College, Sawangi(Wardha). A questionnaire form was circulated to all 105 BDS interns.Based on the results, research project helped studentsin gaining better knowledge and it also improved skills, and many students faced barrier in conducting research such as lack of time, difficulty in research, So Students should be encouraged and motivated to participate in research by developing strategies to overcome the difficulties they experience. Hence, research based projects should be implemented in dental curriculum.

Every human has a unique tongue morphology that can be useful for forensic identification. It is possible to make tongue prints by impressions and photographs which are also unique and difficult to forge. The present study deals with evaluation of these morphological features of tongue and its application for identification of an individual.300 subjects were examined for morphological features of the tongue like shape, surface texture, color and apex. Most commonly observed morphological features of the tongue were ‘U’ shaped(65%), pale pink colored(57%), rounded apex(80%) and smooth surface texture(64%). Insignificant distribution of the morphological features of the tongue with that of age & gender was observed.Tongue may be used for identification in Forensic Odontology along with other identification aids.

New technologies have led to the concept of recent bioactive dental materials, which makes the majority of today’s dentists to produce substantial endodontic results. The introduction of advanced material science made tremendous changes in the dental practice. Aim and Objectives : Aim of this study was to assess and compare the push-out bond strength of Endosequence Root Repair Material (ERRM putty), White Mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) and Biodentine after incubation in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for 7 days, 30 days and 45 days. Materials and methods : 90 extracted single rooted human premolar teeth were used in this study. To avoid the desiccation of teeth after extraction, the teeth were kept in hydrogen peroxide solution and washed under tap water. Then the teeth were cleaned with pumice and stored in normal saline at 37˚C until use. The middle 1/3rd portion of each root was sectioned at right angle to the long axis to produce discs of 2.00 ± 0.05 mm thickness using a diamond disc with continuous water irrigation. Finally, 90 root slices were produced. The specimens were dipped in 17% EDTA for 3 min followed by 3 % NaOCl for the same period of time and then rinsed with distilled water and dried. The specimens were divided randomly into 3 groups: Group I- ERRM, Group II - White MTA, Group III- Biodentine. PBS solution was changed every 5 days to replenish the buffering capacity of the PBS. All specimens were incubated at 37ºC. After the completion of experiments, the specimens were sent to the push-out test. Analysis of data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics both. The software SPSS 17.0, EPI_INFO 6.0 version and Graph Pad Prism 5.0 version was used and p<0.05 is considered as level of significance. Result and conclusion : Highest push out bond strength was seen with ERRM at all incubation times followed by mineral trioxide aggregate and Biodentine .It has been observed that increase in the incubation time had increased push-out bond strength of the material significantly.
新技术导致了最近生物活性牙科材料的概念，这使得今天大多数牙医产生实质性的牙髓治疗结果。先进材料科学的引入使牙科治疗发生了巨大的变化。目的和目的:本研究的目的是评估和比较内序列根修复材料(ERRM腻子)、白色矿物三氧化物骨料(WMTA)和Biodentine在磷酸盐缓冲盐水(PBS)中培养7天、30天和45天后的推出结合强度。材料与方法:90颗拔除的单根人前磨牙用于本研究。为避免拔牙后牙齿干燥，将牙齿保存在双氧水溶液中，并在自来水下清洗。然后用浮石清洁牙齿，37℃下置于生理盐水中保存待用。每根中间1/3部分与长轴成直角切片，用金刚石圆盘连续灌水，形成厚度为2.00±0.05 mm的圆盘。最后得到90根切片。将标本在17% EDTA中浸泡3分钟，然后在3% NaOCl中浸泡3分钟，然后用蒸馏水冲洗并干燥。将标本随机分为3组:I组- ERRM, II组- White MTA, III组- Biodentine。每5天更换一次PBS溶液，以补充PBS的缓冲能力。所有标本37℃孵育。实验完成后，试件进行推出试验。数据分析采用描述性统计和推理统计两种方法进行分析。软件采用SPSS 17.0, EPI_INFO 6.0版本，Graph Pad Prism 5.0版本，p<0.05为显著性水平。结果和结论:ERRM在所有孵育时间内的推出粘结强度最高，其次是矿物三氧化骨料和生物牙汀。我们观察到，随着孵育时间的增加，材料的推出粘结强度显著增加。

This case report intends to highlight the space closure with tear drop loop mechanics for bimaxillary protrusion. Loops can be fabricated in a sectional or full arch wire, and closing loops are usually used in loop mechanics for extraction space closure. The major advantage of loop mechanics is the lack of friction between the bracket and arch wire during space closure. An adult patient with bimaxillary protrusion reported to the clinic. The patient was treated successfully by maximum retraction of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth after extraction of all first premolars. Space closure was begun using a moment differential between posterior and anterior segments created by a Tear drop loop. Anterior teeth were moved with bodily movement, and no anchorage loss of the posterior segments was seen using a Tear drop loop spring. A stable result with normal over jet and overbite was achieved with retraction of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. With a Tear drop loop, individual biomechanical responses can be achieved, and it is possible to calculate force magnitude for every patient.

Background : Toothbrushing has become an integral part of our everyday routine as a means of keeping the oral cavity clean. Although the use of toothbrush has been considered to be safe, traumatic injuries while brushing are bound to happen in young children. Many times, these injuries in children can cause damage to the surrounding vital tissues and vessels and can lead to severe complications. Here, we report a case of a 5-year-old female child who had a penetrating trauma to buccal mucosa while brushing.

Background : Oral sub mucous fibrosis (OSF) is a high risk precancerous condition, associated with areca nut and related products chewing habits. Aloe vera is a mannoprotein known to promote wound healing, and have anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant properties. Anthraquinones present in the latex also have cytotoxic, radio-protective as well as and metastatic regulatory processes Aim: The present study was conducted to evaluate the degree of improvement in clinical signs and symptoms of the disease before and after treatment with Aloe-Vera gel. Objectives: 1.To evaluate degree mouth opening before and after treatment. 2.To evaluate the cheek flexibility before and after treatment.3.To evaluate degree of tongue protrusion before and after treatment.4.To determine and correlate changes in burning sensation of mouth before and after treatment. Methodology: 20 OSF subjects were received intraoral local application of AloeVera gel thrice daily for one month. Pre and post Clinical parameters of degree of mouth opening tongue protrusion, cheek flexibility and burning sensation of mouth were evaluated. Results: Significant improvement was seen in patients with clinical parameters of degree of mouth opening, tongue protrusion, cheek flexibility and burning sensation of mouth (p-Value=0.0001). Conclusion: Topical use of Aloe-Vera and in OSF patients proved as safe, non-invasive and effective treatment modalities in impsroving mouth opening, tongue protrusion, cheek flexibility and reduction in burning sensation. Significant improvement in clinical signs and symptoms were achieved.
