Schwannoma or neurilemmoma is an uncommon, benign peripheral nerve tumor derived from Schwann cells. It is usually a slow growing, asymptomatic, well encapsulated tumor that arises in association with a nerve trunk.Here we present a rare case of Ancient Schwannoma in a 20 year old male. The patient presented with a small, slow growing asymptomatic mass on the dorsal surface of the tongue, present since past 1year. Lesion was completely excised. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, fourth most common odontogenic tumor in the Indian population. It is the most common odontogenic tumor associated with impacted teeth. The diagnosis stands important as it is most commonly associated with an impacted maxillary canine. An adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a tumor of epithelial origin that shows duct-like structures and the epithelium forms whorled masses of cells in a scant fibrous stroma. AOT is not a common odontogenic neoplasm and it was first described by Steensland in the year 1905. Initially, AOT was described as pseudoadenoameloblastoma by Dreibladt in the year 1907 and it was considered a distinct entity and some of them believed it to be a variant of ameloblastoma by Stafne in the year 1948.

The skeletal anatomy of maxillofacial region is the most complex in the body. Injuries of this region is classified from isolated injuries which involves osseous components to complex maxillofacial injuries involving the entire facial skeleton. The aim of any imaging technique for maxillofacial injury is to evaluate the positions of anatomic elements in precision for both hard and soft tissues in spatial planes. The oldest method of imaging Maxillofacial injuries was the classic x-rays. The challenge of the classical method was the inability to represent all the bone structures of facial skeleton precisely and the very difficulty to access the elements of the soft tissue of face in detailed form. Computed tomography have replaced conventional x-rays and is now a very important tool of imaging for very precise evaluation of maxillofacial trauma and it’s potency with the ability to detect the exact number and site along with the extent of fractures.A systemic self-study was planned to analyze the best choice of imaging techniques for cases of maxillofacial traumatic injuries. With the application of electronic databases we searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Clinical Trial Gov, Medline Plus, health line, John Hopkins Medicine which were published in English language. This systemic self-study have reviewed the facts which were published earlier to determine the ideal choice of imaging techniques for any trauma to maxillofacial region. Vast analysis and along with proper examination of data to evaluate with final conclusion.Based on our systemic self study we observed this fact that maxillofacial injuries are one of the most frequently encountered injuries which are very often admitted in emergency department. With the revolution of technology in healthcare, today 3D Computed tomography has become the ultimate and primary imaging method because of its significant technical improvement.We concluded that 3D Computed Tomography imaging is very useful for assessing the severity of midface fracture and injury. The reason for 3D Computed Tomography being chosen as imaging choice is just because the 3D image displays the spatial relationships of fracture segments which are in dislocated form and assists surgeons with better graphic display of the actual anatomic presentation which further guides and asists in the management planning and surgical approach in operation Theatre. Hence 3D Computed tomography is the imaging method of choice for an accurate diagnosis which have totally replaced conventional radiography due to its inability to depict the complex anatomical structure of maxillofacial region. This is the reason 3D Computed Tomography is regarded as golden choice in cases of oro-maxillofacial trauma.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) was declared a “pandemic” by the World Health Organization (WHO) in early March 2020. All over the world extraordinary measures are being adopted to fight the spread of the ongoing outbreak. Under such conditions, people’s knowledge to preventive measures is greatly affected by their awareness of the disease. Aim of the present study was to assess the awareness and knowledge about Covid-19 among non-treating staff in hospitals. The community-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-developed structured questionnaire and individuals were personally interviewed. A total of 82 individuals were interviewed who included the sterilization workers, cleaners and ward staff. The non-teaching staff included was working in the dental, medical and physiotherapy institute. The result interpretation showed that 95.1% of participants included in the study knew about Covid-19. Awareness was pragmatic among 89% about the precautions to be taken. While, 63.4% agreed on getting formal training from the workplace. Respondents agreed to change the methods and adopt newer techniques to bout with the Covid-19 pandemic. Since its initial outbreak in China in December 2019, the COVID-19 disease has had a cascading effect worldwide. Even though these subjects are not actively involved in patient management, there are high chances of non-clinical staff having patient contact at some point in the healthcare setting and therefore at risk of contracting and spreading the infection.

Long term edentulism in the maxillary posterior region presents with complications that compromise the quality and quantity of the residual ridge, making the implant placement impossible. Despite of these challenges, prosthetically driven dental implants tend to restore function using various sinus membrane elevation and augmentation techniques. Over the past few years, these techniques have undergone several advancements aiming to overcome the short comings of the conventional techniques and assuring a successful outcome.

Maxillary sinus is the largest among the paranasal sinus which is of surgical clinical and anthropological significance. Classification of maxillary antrum based on shapes and sizes using panoramic radiography have not been developed till date. Different shapes and sizes of maxillary antrum were taken into notice while tracing orthopantomogram. As panoramic radiograph is the most commonly available and feasible technology, a deeper study of this topic felt compelling.: To classify maxillary antrum based on its shape, presence of septa, shape of the floor and presence of recess employing digital panoramic radiographs. A total of 1000 panoramic radiographs available in soft copies in Department of Oral Radiology, Sree Anjaneya Institute of Dental Sciences were analysed for developing this classification. The panoramic radiographs were taken using KODAK 8000 carestream machine with exposure parameters 73kVp, 12mA, 13.9 seconds. The shapes identified included cloudy, rectangle, round, trapezoidal, square, ovoidal, pentagonal, hexagonal. In which cloudy marked the highest and hexagonal the least. Among the maxillary sinuses observed a few showed septations. The sinus floor contours observed comprised scalloped, wavy, curved, straight and v-shaped. Out of which a few showed recess. This is a proposed new classification of maxillary antrum using Panoramic radiograph. From this study, eight distinct shapes of the maxillary sinus were identified, wherein cloudy type was predominant and hexagonal was the least commonest. Only a few had sepatations and recess. Six distinct shapes of floor were identified, of which scalloped marked the highest.

: Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) has been used as a root canal medicament due to its antimicrobial activity and organic tissue dissolution capacity. To, increase the efficiency and success of root canal/endodontics treatment calcium hydroxide has to be removed from the canals walls. This study evaluate and compare four different irrigation system i.e. Conventional Irrigation (plastic 30 gauge needle), Sonic Irrigation ( Endoactivator), Ultrasonic Continuous Irrigation and Negative pressure with Endo Irrigation plus.For carrying out this study we have used 50 extracted premolar roots, preserved in sodium hypochlorite. Then they were randomly allocated five in four groups (n=10) and a control group. Specimen were statistically analysed by Kruskal Wallis test. All Testing was performed at significance level P-values 0.05. The analysis was carried out with social sciences version (SPSS)17.0 for Windows(SPSSInc.,Chicago, IL,USA). : In our present study we have found that None of the techniques used was completely able to remove Ca(OH)2 from the root canals. But the Sonic irrigation system (Endoactivator) has some potential benefit in removal of calcium hydroxide.
氢氧化钙(Ca(OH)2)因其抗菌活性和有机组织溶解能力而被用作根管药物。为了提高根管治疗的效率和成功率，必须从根管壁上去除氢氧化钙。本研究评估和比较了四种不同的灌溉系统，即常规灌溉(塑料30号针)，超声灌溉(内激活器)，超声连续灌溉和负压带内藤灌溉+。为了进行这项研究，我们使用了50个提取的前磨牙根，保存在次氯酸钠中。然后将5人随机分为4组(n=10)和对照组。采用Kruskal - Wallis检验对标本进行统计学分析。所有检验均以显著性水平p值0.05进行。分析采用社会科学版(SPSS)17.0 for Windows(SPSS)。美国,芝加哥,IL)。在我们目前的研究中，我们发现没有一种技术可以完全去除根管中的Ca(OH)2。但超声灌洗系统(内激活器)在去除氢氧化钙方面有一些潜在的好处。

Eagle’s syndrome is a condition associated with the elongation of the styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament, clinically characterised by throat and neck pain, radiating into the ear. A styloid process is considered elongated or abnormal when it exceeds a normal length of 25-27 mm. However, elongation of the ossified styloid ligament is insufficient for diagnosing Eagle’s syndrome. Instead, a constellation of symptoms in history, as mentioned above, and physical and radiographic examinations contribute to diagnosis. In this report, we describe the case of a 71-year-old man who presented with long standing orofacial pain due to unilateral elongated styloid process on the right side.
