Osteomyelitis of the jaw is found to be the most common disease affecting the maxillofacial region. Osteomyelitis is found to be true bacterial infection affecting the jaw bone. Different types of osteomyelitis which are distinguishable are acute osteomyelitis, primary chronic osteomyelitis and secondary chronic osteomyelitis of the jaw. The main characteristic features of the osteomyelitis of the jaw are, formation of the fistula, suppuration, and sequestration of the jaw bone. Different treatment modalities of the osteomyelitis of the jaw include surgery, debridement of the lesion superficially and curettage and in non surgical approach it includes usage of proper antibiotics, usage of topical agents, usage of hyperbaric oxygen, local anesthetic solution.

Odontomas are developmental anomalies resulting from the growth of completely differentiated epithelial and mesenchymal cells that give rise to functional ameloblast and odontoblast. During odontoma development, enamel and dentin can be deposited in such a way that the resulting structures show anatomically similar to normal teeth structures. odontomes were classified according to their developmental origin as epithelial, composite (epithelial and mesodermal), and connective tissues. According to the WHO classification, odontomes can be divided into three groups such as complex, compound, and ameloblastic fibro-odontomes. Compound odontomas commonly occur in the incisor-canine region of the maxilla and complex odontomas are frequently located in the premolar and molar region of both jaws.

Condition where there is agenesis of central maxillary incisor is unique and very rare with association of peculiar stomatognathic features is called (SMMCI) Solitary median maxillary central incisor syndrome which may or may not have systemic involvement, and the condition is found to affect 1:50,000 live births. SMMCI is a very rare abnormality in developing stage of fetus involving the tooth germs of central incisor. The most common systemic association is with holoprosencephaly, and diagnosis in early stage is of utmost importance for managing dental aesthetic issue patient generally suffers from the syndrome. The objective of current article is to discuss two cases of SMMCI syndrome; one with systemic involvement having esophageal Artesia, a rare entity with SMMCI syndrome and the other one without systemic involvement. In both cases, patient’s parents were not aware of the dental anomaly the child was suffering, and parents were highlighted on treatment options in managing such dental cases. As there are a significant number of SMMCI syndrome cases with systemic involvement and other developmental problems, it becomes prudent to have a quick and prompt diagnosis in initial stages of life and simultaneously the management approach becomes multidisciplinary.
上颌中切牙缺失是一种独特而罕见的情况，伴有奇特的口颌特征，这种情况被称为（SMMCI）上颌中切牙缺失综合征（Solitary median maxillary central incisor syndrome），可能会也可能不会累及全身，这种情况对活产婴儿的影响为1:50,000。SMMCI是胎儿发育阶段的一种非常罕见的异常，涉及中切牙的牙胚。最常见的全身性并发症是全口畸形，因此早期诊断对于处理该综合征患者的牙科美学问题至关重要。本文旨在讨论两例 SMMCI 综合征病例：一例全身受累，伴有食道阿特西亚（一种罕见的 SMMCI 综合征）；另一例无全身受累。在这两例病例中，患者的父母都不知道孩子患有牙科异常，医生向父母强调了处理此类牙科病例的治疗方案。由于有大量 SMMCI 综合征病例伴有全身性受累和其他发育问题，因此在生命的最初阶段进行快速、及时的诊断就显得尤为重要，同时，治疗方法也应是多学科的。

A lipoma variation with a noticeable vascular component is called angiolipoma. It is the most prevalent tumour in the forearm, followed by the trunk and young people's extremities. It is uncommon for it to arise in the head and neck area. The clinical and histopathologic characteristics of angiolipoma that developed on a 40-year-old female are presented in this study. Increased mast cell density surrounding blood vessels is shown using toluidine blue stain, suggesting a possible involvement for these cells in vasculogenic.

A primary tooth affected by dental caries involving the pulp tissues along with periradicular tissues need conventional endodontic treatment. Due to certain factors these treatments may be contraindicated. In that case Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair (LSTR) therapy is the better option to be preferred. The process of LSTR is to increase the longevity of the primary tooth. This procedure eliminates, sterilizes the canal system, repairs and regenerates the tissue. It needs minimal instrumentation and includes placement of an antibiotic mixture in the pulp chamber to disinfect the root canals. It is also known as Non-instrumental endodontic treatment (NIET).

Telemedicine is a rapidly evolving field in the present scenario. Teledentistry is considered as a subset of telemedicine that utilizes telecommunication network and for transfer of relevant clinical data and images for dental diagnosis and treatment planning. Tele-oral-radiology is considered as a subspeciality of Teleradiology and is still in an emerging phase in many nations including India. Adoption of Teleradiology practices enable the Teleradiologist to enjoy the freedom of working from any location and alleviates the problem of overnight specialty coverage. Even though teleradiology has numerous advantages it is bound for certain limitations as well. Literature reports have found tele-oral-radiology to be beneficial in aiding general dental practitioners in the diagnosis and interpretation of oral and maxillofacial radiographs. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief about Tele-Oral-Radiology practice.

Sleep apnoea is a common condition in the elderly population with potentially significant consequences, including comorbidity and cognitive decline. There is now a wealth of information indicating that untreated sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular event, a higher propensity of sudden death during sleep and a greater risk for stroke and all-cause mortality. Consequently, OSA represents a significant evolving public health challenge in both the developed and developing world. Currently many cases of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome are unrecognized which leads to unnecessary morbidity and even mortality. By posing a few additional questions during the routine clinical interview, patients in need for further diagnostic testing can be easily identified. The best methods of diagnosis are costly and increased sophistication of screening devices and interpreting physicians are required to reduce the need for full polysomnography. CBCT, with its 3D presentation of the airway and its surrounding structures, offers the increased visualization of both untreated obstruction tendencies and potentially of changes in the airway by treatment modality.

: Digitization of intraoral radiography has revolutionized dentistry. It comes with plethora of advantages, such as quick image production elimination of processing chemicals, reduced patient exposure. With easy and instant image acquisition, the number and frequency of radiographs as well retakes have also increased. Therefore, making us think is there an actual reduction in the radiation exposure or not.: To assess clinical utilisation of intraoral digital radiography among practicing dental surgeons.It is a questionnaire-based study. Questionnaire was curated using google forms and divided into two sections. First section included personal data and second section was focused on the clinical practice. Questionnaire link was circulated through various social media platform. 112 responses were collected.Out of all responses, 78.6% are using intraoral digital radiography, among them 53.4% are using CCD sensors. Maximum number of practitioners (54.5%) take on an average 0-5 intraoral digital radiographs and 98.9% of them take 1-6 retakes per day. Errors in positioning the receptor and PID were the most common reasons for taking repeats.: It appears that there is an increase in number and frequency of radiographs and number of retakes which might be nullifying the dose reduction from intraoral digital radiography. Practitioners should not neglect the radiation exposure from intraoral digital radiography as it may have a cumulative effect in long run and should abide by the radiation protection protocol and ALADA principle.
