The biggest breakthrough in the field of dentistry in recent years has been the advent of digital dentistry. Digital dentistry widely refers to “Any dental technology or equipment that comprises digital or computer-regulated components in contrast to that of mechanical or electrical alone”. A significant drawback of digital dentistry are expenses involved with its implementation. Nevertheless, if the new technology lives up to expectations, it might be viewed as a benefit in the long run.

To determine whether ultrasound can assess healing of bone and check the development of callus prior to conventional radiograph thereby enabling early diagnosis of delayed union or confirmation of union. Fracture healing was evaluated with ultrasonography and radiography on specific intervals until healing was complete; in 20 fracture sites. Based on the findings of ultrasonographic and radiographic scores were assigned to classify healing.18 out of 20 fracture sites had completely healed with mature callus formation at the end of 3 months while only 2 fracture sites showed delayed healing. In patients with normal healing, colour doppler ultrasound showed neovascularisation in the 1 month of healing. With time it was noticed that the depth and width of the fractured site was reducing and becoming more isoechoic with the adjacent normal bone sites. Assessment of these parameters being more evident on the USG were statistically significant when compared with OPG. Ultrasound can be considered as a useful guide in assessing fracture healing as a replacement to conventional imaging modalities such as the OPG, particularly in the early prediction of impaired fracture healing.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive lesion of the gingiva which predominantly affects women and is usually found anterior to the maxillary molars. POF is usually a fibroma of the gingiva which shows some areas of calcification or ossification. According to literature, POF is a separate clinical entity rather than a transitional form of pyogenic granuloma or irritation fibroma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for POF, though the recurrence has been reported in many cases. We present a case of large POF arising from alveolar mucosa in left maxillary edentulous region in 57 years old female patient.

Periodontal disease is a multifactorial inflammatory condition comprising of a complex interaction between pathogenic bacteria, environmental and acquired factors and host related factors. It is well known that to achieve successful result one must focus on eliminating the cause of disease. In this review we will be discussing most important phase in dental treatment i.e Phase I therapy because the basis of any dental problem ever seen is primarily or secondarily due To “Plaque” Hence Pahse-I Therapy.Scaling and root planning (SRP) is a conventional, non-invasive periodontal therapy and when used alone or as adjunct with other non-surgical therapeutic modalities have shown a great success in dental procedures.

To date no technique has been proven to guarantee a completely passive fit of implant supported prosthesis framework. Several clinical variables such as angulation of implants, impression material and technique used may affect the precision of impressions. Hence, this study is designed to evaluate and compare the dimensional accuracy of the resultant casts made from open tray implant level impressions with two different impression materials (polyvinyl siloxane and polyether) in parallel and angulated implants. The study consisted of two control groups; master model –1with parallel implants and master model –2 with angulated implants. From master model 1and master model 2, total 40 implant level open tray impressions were made using PVS and polyether impression material and impressions were poured to obtain 40 study casts. The resultant casts were divided into 4 groups (10 casts in each group), according to the impression material used (PVS or Polyether) and implant’s orientation (parallel or angulated) in the casts. All casts were evaluated for the positional accuracy of the implant by using four reference distances with the help of a profile projector. These measurements were compared to the measurements calculated on the master model, which served as a control. The variations of the mean distance values with respective control values within a group were analyzed with one samples’ t’ test at 0.05 significance level. Further the mean distance variations between the groups were analyzed with independent samples ‘t’ test to evaluate group mean variations.The impressions made in the presence of angulated implants were significantly less accurate than the ones made with parallel implants. Regarding impression material the tested polyether resulted advantageous over polivinylsiloxane impression material in terms of recording positional accuracy of implants.

Alveolar osteitis (AO) is the most common complication of dental extractions, especially, the mandibular third molar. Zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) is commonly used as a surgical dressing for the treatment of AO. However, the search for better dressing materials is still underway. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the impact of the intra-alveolar application of Metronidazole (MN), Chlorhexidine (CHX), and Lignocaine (LC) on the treatment of alveolar osteitis and compare it with that of ZOE. A total sample of n=32 patients was randomly assigned into the experimental group treated with MN+CHX+LC combination, while the control group was treated with ZOE paste dressing. Pain, discomfort, and healing were assessed on 3-day and 2-week follow-ups. A statistically significant difference was noted in the number of individuals with pain (p=0.006) and halitosis (p=0.002) on the third day follow-up with higher number of individuals in the control group still experiencing the symptoms. By the end of two weeks, all the patients in the experimental group (n=16) had relief from pain and discomfort while they persisted in n=4 patients and halitosis was noted in n=9 patients treated with ZOE dressing. The experimental combination has a clear advantage as a medicament dressing because of its superior antibacterial and anesthetic properties over ZOE dressings. The combination reduces the time period required for healing the socket in AO, while greatly adding to the patient’s comfort and overall well-being.

Platelet rich fibrin contains various growth factors with in it and it is composed of fibrin matrix. Platelet rich fibrin is a concentrate of platelets of the second generation. Platelet rich fibrin helps in reducing the process of inflammation and enhance the healing process. An ideal environment is provided by platelet rich fibrin for the process of wound healing as well as regeneration of the tissue, as they combine the properties of fibrant sealant along with the properties of the growth factors in it. Platelet rich plasma has some advantages as it is derived more easily and with economical method of preparation along with it, it also eliminates the requirement of any exogenous compound for e.g. bovine thrombin or calcium chloride during the process of fabrication.

Supplementary teeth in simple terms could be be defined as those supernumerary teeth which are well aligned in the arch resembling the normal anatomical structures of teeth. There has been evidences of supplementary premolars and molars since from beginning of the civilization. According to Darwin’s theory of evolution which stated that during the course of humans evolution the organs which do not have greater use in regular became vestigial which included the appendix, tail bone, fourth molar. Supernumerary teeth often remain asymptomatic, and only get diagnosed incidentally during a routine dental visit on radiographs. Nevertheless, various complications have been reported in literature related to supernumerary teeth such as disturbed eruption, malpositioning or rotation, root resorption of neighbouring teeth, and development of dentigerous cysts in impacted supernumeraries. Root resorption of neighbouring teeth can be radiographically diagnosed in up to 22.8% of the cases. Here we report an unusual case of multiple supernumerary teeth in a non-syndromic patient of African native.

Radiographs are one of the most important diagnostic tools in diagnosing and treatment planning of the patient along with the clinical examination of the patient for a dental disease. There are different imaging techniques used in oral and maxillofacial surgery which are having their own significance. Normal routine diagnostic approaches used in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as in other specialty of the dentistry are normal intra oral peri apical radiography, OPG and radio visiography. Apart from these techniques some advanced techniques can also be employed in the diagnosis and treatment planning of the dental patient, techniques such as cone beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging etc. All these techniques are having their own significance of use.

Supernumerary teeth occurring in between the central incisors are termed ‘mesiodens’ and have a prevalence rate of 3% in the Asian population.Mesiodens in seldom observed in adults with permanent dentition as most of them get extracted within the first decade or early second decade. The present case report describes mesiodens in a 32-year-old male with an emphasis on its radiological and histological aspects. Although a fairly common dental anomaly, mesiodens may present with several complications and have clinical implications in treatment. Retention of mesiodens until the fourth decade is quite unusual and is, therefore, an interesting aspect of the present case.
