Overdenture treatment is a removable dental prosthesis that covers or rest on one or more remaining natural teeth, roots of natural teeth, or dental implants. The conventional tooth-retained overdenture is a simple and cost-effective treatment than the implant overdenture. This treatment is not a new concept and practitioners have successfully employed existing tooth structures to assist with complete denture treatment for more than a century. Furthermore, the use of copings on the remaining teeth enhances the retention of the denture. This clinical report describes a method of fabricating a tooth supported overdenture retained with custom made metal coping.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has gained an unmissable importance nowadays because of its accuracy in detecting the pathologies of head and neck region. It has become part and parcel as a salient diagnostic aid in dentistry. But everything in this world has two faces of the coin. Similarly, CBCT has a small hitch in it that is “Artifacts”. Artifacts are discrepancies between the reconstructed visual image and the actual content of the subject which degrade the quality of CBCT images, making them diagnostically unusable. This article directs on the different kinds of artifacts and the reasons behind it.

Aim of the study was to evaluate the canal transportation and centering ability of 4% and 6% rotary systems by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).: Sixty permanent mandibular first molar mesio-buccal canals were chosen and divided into two groups (n=30) according to the bio mechanical preparation method used: Vortex blue and XP Endo Shaper. Following after placed on a customized wax sheet substrate, the samples were scanned using CBCT and then subjected to instrumentation according to the group selected. Then post instrumentation CBCT was taken. Slices from the axial slice were obtained at 3 mm, 6 mm, and 9 mm from the root apex, corresponding to the apical, middle, and coronal thirds, respectively, from both exposures. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in canal centering and transportation between both the groups. However vortex blue group showed less transportation and less amount of untouched dentin. It was concluded that " 6% taper group though having higher taper showed better centering ability and less amount ofuntouched dentin and 4% taper file group thoughan adaptive core technology showed more transportation because of its non-uniform expansion to thermal changes.

Liquid biopsy refers to a non-invasive technique of obtaining body fluid in order to analyse circulating biomarkers indicative of carcinomatous diseases. The characterization of these liquid biomarkers help in diagnosis and to choose the therapeutic strategy for each different case. Oral and oropharyngeal cancers are the largest group of those cancers which fall into the head and neck cancer category. Common names for it include mouth cancer, tongue cancer, tonsil cancer, and throat cancer. This systematic review summarizes 11years (2009 -2020) studies done on liquid biopsy in oral and head and neck carcinoma from electronic search engines such as PUBMED, MEDLINE, GOOGLE J-GATE to get the overview of clinical significance of circulating biomarkers (CTCs, ctDNA, Exosomes, miRNA, lncRNAs, Cytokeratin 20mRNA) as diagnostic and prognostic tool. The impact of liquid biopsy in clinical settings is still limited thus allowing further studies in a bigger perspective to discover the best scenario for its application.

This study aims to investigate the prevalence, morphology and elongation pattern of elongated styloid process in the population of Central Kerala and its relation to age and gender. ` 500 digital panoramic radiographs were collected from the archives of Department of Oral Medicine & Radiology, Mar Baselios Dental College taken during 2017-2020. Only those radiographs of patients within age group of 20-60 years and showed styloid processes of both sides with no pathologies in the required structures were included in the study. Radiographs with magnification and positioning errors were excluded. The collected data was entered in an Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using statistical analysis software-SPSS 16.0. The data was analyzed using chi square test and one way ANOVA. The average length of right and left styloid processes were 25.61±6.25mm & 25.88±6.67 mm respectively. The study showed that there is a progression in the length of right styloid process with advancing age. In this study females had a longer styloid process compared to males. A predominance of type I elongation is seen in both right and left sides.: The best protection is early detection. Presence of elongated styloid process is an incidental radiographic finding. However adequate and prompt diagnosis can lead to elimination of associated complications. This study focuses on detection of elongated styloid processes and comparison of length and identification of elongation patterns among right and left sides. These parameters and patterns may help the clinicians to distinguish between normal and elongated styloid processes.

Anatomic variations of mandibular molars are documented in literature. Variations in the anatomy are not appreciated by a great number of general dental practitioners. One such variation is occurrence of radix entomolaris, a supernumerary root occurring on the disto-lingual aspect of mandibular molars. This anomaly is rarely known to occur in the Indian population. Literature has also shown that the knowledge about the variations in the distal root anatomy in mandibular molars is not commonly known. This case reports the occurrence of radix entomolaris in mandibular first molar with three roots and four root canals. The case report discusses the frequency of occurrence, diagnostic means and endodontic management of radix entomolaris.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complex structure which may be loaded differently in every individual leading to chances of differential condyle and fossa patterns. The aim of this study was to assess the changes in mandibular length, condyle and glenoid fossa in individuals with various skeletal malocclusions. This study was carried out with CBCT images of 45 patients divided into three groups, comprising of 15 patients in each group within the age group of 18-25years having Class I, Class II and Class III skeletal patterns respectively. Images were analyzed for the mandibular length, condylar and glenoid fossa shape variations. The measurements showed that GroupIII had significantly larger values of condylar width, depth, height and volume than other groups(P<0.05). Superior joint space was significantly lesser in Group III (P< 0.001), whereas anterior joint space was significantly lesser in Group III and II than Group I (P <0.001 &<0.05 respectively). The posterior joint space was found to be larger in Group II than Group I and III (P < 0.001 &<0.005 respectively). Mandibular length was significantly increased in Group III (P<0.001) and reduced in Group II(P<0.05). Significant differences of mandibular length, condylar width, height, length, condylar volume and joint spaces among the three sagittal groups were noted and hence can be concluded that TMJ morphology differed according to the difference in sagittal relationship of maxilla and mandible. Still, larger sample size is needed to study along with the soft tissue considerations in future.

Maxillofacial trauma is any physical trauma to the facial region, commonly encountered by maxillofacial surgeons, and is often associated with high morbidity and so constitute quite a significant portion of the workload of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Maxillofacial injuries can occur as an isolated injury or may be associated with multiple injuries in other parts of the body. To assess the patterns, etiology, and treatment modalities of maxillofacial trauma in a teaching hospital in central India, over a 12-year period. Patients with maxillofacial trauma were identified using the department database and clinical records. 264 patients were identified with maxillofacial trauma in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery between January 2006 and December 2018. The study showed that there was a male preponderance in all age groups over female. Of the 264 patients with maxillofacial injuries, 83,33% had isolated lower face (mandibular) fractures, followed by midface fractures (10.60%) and panfacial fractures (6.06%). Road traffic accidents (87.12%) were the most common form of etiology for trauma followed by assaults (10.98%). Most trauma were treated with open reduction internal fixation (89%) than closed reduction (11%). The etiology and pattern of maxillofacial injuries reflect the trauma patterns within the community and can thus provide a guide to help design programs toward prevention and treatment.
