Introduction: Menopause is associated with important systemic and oral changes. Many researchers have tried to evaluate the influence of hormonal changes associated with menopause in the periodontium, however results are still contradictory. Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of menopause on the severity of periodontal destruction. Methods: In the present study 25 systemically healthy women age ranges from 30 to 65 with generalised chronic periodontitis were included. They were divided into 2 groups based on their menstrual history. Group I (control group) included 8 women with normal menstrual cycle and Group II (test group) included 17 postmenopausal women. Clinical parameters Plaque Index, Gingival Index, periodontal probing pocket depth (PPD) and DMFT Index was recorded. The level of bone present was evaluated radiographically. Results: There were no significant differences between subjects of both the control and test groups in the percentages of sites for presence of plaque (p > 0.37), gingival index (p > 0.161) and DMFT index (p > 0.099). However deeper pockets (p < 0.001) and reduced bone support (p < 0.00) was observed in Group II as compared to Group I. Conclusion: The findings of the present study suggest, that postmenopausal women have more severe periodontal destruction as compared to premenopausal women.

Increase in size of the gingiva is termed as gingival enlargement. Most common type of gingival enlargement is inflammatory, which his caused due to plaque accumulation and improper oral hygiene maintenance. Orthodontic therapy can often lead to failure to improve oral hygiene. This case describes a recurrent, progressive gingival enlargement of a 19 year old female orthodontic patient in which gingivectomy was performed and repeated, which subsequently failed. Hence modified Widman’s flap was performed with medical supplements. Periodic periodontal check up is required in orthodontic cases to control the gingival inflammation. Patient compliance is also very important in such cases. There should be proper co-operation between the Orthodontist and Periodontist for successful treatment of gingival hyperplasia. Patients with such conditions should be carefully monitored and checked to avoid the recurrence and avoid further progression into chronic periodontitis.

Introduction: Good oral hygiene provides a basis for good oral health and is important for prevention and treatment of oral conditions in children. Hence, it is essential to provide knowledge and treatment at regular intervals to the visually impaired individuals. Objective: To evaluate the oral hygiene practices of visually impaired students attending a blind school with the help of a questionnaire. Methods: The oral hygiene practices were evaluated in visually impaired students between the ages of 6 years to 22 years. A total of 92 students were enrolled from a blind school in Udaipur. The oral hygiene practice was assessed by a questionnaire survey. Results: About 96.7% of the students brushed their teeth daily out of which 94.3% brushed their teeth with the help of a toothbrush and toothpaste. Majority of them brushed once a day in the morning. A total of 39.1% of the students cleaned their tongue also. All the students brushed alone without any guidance or supervision. Conclusion: Although the blind students cannot see, they still practice good oral hygiene.

Periodontics is that speciality of dentistry which encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of supporting and surrounding tissues of the teeth or their substitutes; the maintenance of health, function and aesthetics of these structures and tissues; and the replacement of lost teeth and supporting structures by grafting or implantation of natural or synthetic devices and materials. The quality field of Periodontics started in Nepal after 1999. The postgraduate studies in Periodontology and Oral Implantology have been running for a decade. Specialists in significant numbers are providing services throughout the country. Scientific researches and academic activities have been organised. Nepalese Society of Periodontology and Oral Implantology (NSPOI) has become a forum that is gaining recognition in the nation and on a global scale with the successful organisation of annual conferences, annual clinical meetings, postgraduate conventions and participations in international conferences since its establishment in 2014. The journal of the society (JNSPOI) is being regularly published since 2017. Societies in India and abroad have expressed good wishes and have contributed to the society regularly.

Different aetiologies with various clinical presentations are evident in cases of gingival enlargement. We report a case of 34-year-old male who presented with the chief complaint of gingival overgrowth in upper and lower front teeth region. Patient was systemically healthy and gave no history of common medications known to cause gingival enlargement. He had a history of marijuana consumption for two consecutive years following which gingival swelling increased in severity. Based on clinical and histopathologic findings, provisional diagnosis of combined inflammatory + marijuana induced gingival enlargement was made. Treatment consisted of scaling and root planing followed by sextant wise gingivectomy. Results were stable until three months follow-up. Signs of inflammation were evident when the patient reported after 1.5 years.

Introduction: Dental plaque is the primary aetiological factor for periodontal disease. Scaling and root planing may fail to eliminate periodontal pathogenic species because of limited access to the root surface and tissue-invading properties of some periodontal pathogens. Considerable attention has been devoted to the possibility of using antimicrobial agents such as chlorhexidine to eliminate periodontal pathogens with limited success. Studies show that boric acid has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of 0.75% boric acid when used as a subgingival irrigation agent as an adjunct to oral prophylaxis in treatment of localised chronic periodontitis. Methods: A total of 40 individuals who reported to the dental college with localised periodontitis (pocket depth of ≥ 6 mm) participated in the study. Plaque Index, Gingival Index and Probing Pocket Depth were recorded at baseline and one month post irrigation with either 0.75% boric acid (Group I) or 0.2% chlorhexidine (group II). Intragroup comparison was done using student “t” test. Results: Intra-group comparison in Group I and Group II showed significant results for reduction in Plaque Index, Gingival Index and Probing Pocket Depth. Significant results observed for reduction of Probing Pocket Depth (<0.025) between the two groups - Plaque Index (>0.54) and Gingival Index (>0.93) were non-significant one month postoperatively. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that 0.75% boric acid has similar efficacy as 0.2% chlorhexidine as a coadjuvant in the treatment of periodontitis.

Immediate implants following extraction has become an increasingly popular strategy to preserve bone and reduce treatment duration. This technique also improves aesthetics by preserving the soft tissues. Immediate implant placement is technically challenging and should only be undertaken by clinicians with considerable experience in implant dentistry, both surgically and prosthetically. The purpose of this article is to provide a general review about immediate implant placements and to summarise various aspects in which this technique can be indicated.

Introduction: Association of Diabetes Mellitus and periodontal disease has been well established over the last few decades. It is a well established risk factor in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Objective: This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of periodontal disease in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Methods: Individuals with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus for the duration of at least five years were selected. Plaque Index (PII), Gingival Index (GI), Loss of attachment (LA) and Probing Depth (PD) were recorded using William’s Periodontal probe. Results: Patients with Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus demonstrated higher loss of attachment. Conclusion: The results showed statistically significant association between non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease thus supporting it as a risk factor for periodontitis.
