A palatogingival groove (PGG) is a developmental deformity that may cause a severe periodontal breakdown or combined endodontic and periodontal defect. In the present case, a 24-year-old patient reported a complaint of pain in the upper left front tooth region for 3 months. Clinical and radiological examination revealed a PGG in the permanent maxillary left lateral incisor. Cone-beam computed tomography showed multiple shallow grooves on the root surface and a deep palatal groove extending to the apex. Interdisciplinary management comprising endodontic therapy and intentional replantation was formulated. After endodontic procedure, tooth #22 was gently extracted. The shallow grooves were removed by odontoplasty. A Class II cavity was made in the deep palatal groove and was connected with the root-end preparation. The cavity was sealed with biodentin up to the cementoenamel junction and the coronal portion was sealed with light-cured glass-ionomer cement. The tooth was replanted in socket and splinted for 7 days. Follow-up visits revealed the functional status of tooth and complete bony healing. Tooth discoloration was successfully managed with intracoronal bleaching with sodium perborate. A 12-month radiographic follow-up revealed no evidence of root resorption or ankylosis.

Background: Exfoliative cytology is the technique of microscopic examination of shed or desquamated cells from the epithelial surface of mucous membrane. Papanicolaou stain (PAP) is the common stain used for these cytological smears. Conventional PAP (cPAP) stain has undergone many modifications, of these ultrafast PAP (UFPAP) is a popular stain used as it shortens the staining time and quality. UFPAP was discovered as a fusion of Romanowsky and PAP. Aim and Objectives: To evaluate and estimate the quality of UFPAP and c PAP stains in oral cytology smears of normal mucosa (NM), oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). Materials and Methods: 50 samples/smears were collected from outpatients from the Government Dental College and Hospital, Hyderabad. Samples include 10 cases of NM, 20 cases each of OPMDs (leukoplakia) and OSCC. Two cytological smears of representative areas were obtained and each smear is stained by the cPAP and UFPAP stains, respectively. Results and Observation: The quality index is obtained for the comparison of UFPAP and cPAP stains by using four parameters like - nuclear details, over all staining, background staining, and cell morphology. QI for all parameters of UFPAP staining was good compared to cPAP and percentage of UFPAP for NM, OPMDs and OSCC was 92.7%, 88.1%, 66.3% respectively. Conclusion: The study concludes that UFPAP staining is used for diagnosis in a regular oral cytology smears to offer immediate diagnosis of OPMDs and OSCCs.

Background: This study aims to study the predictors and the pattern of adverse drug reactions to Covishield vaccine which is being used in the mass vaccination program of the Government of India. Methods: This cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among the dentists working as faculty in four different tertiary care centers in Jaipur city. A prevalidated questionnaire was circulated through E-mail/social media groups to all the participants. Results: A total of 574 participants fulfilled the questionnaire platform; however, six had been excluded from the study due to incompletely filled questionnaires. The remaining 568 were enrolled for the final analysis. About 296 (52.11%) were male and 272 (47.89%) were female. About 52.8% were in the age group of 31–49 years. About 87.32% of the enrolled participants had received both doses of Covishield. Most common postvaccination symptoms were fever (n = 145), local pain at injection site (n = 123), tenderness at injection site (n = 117), and fatigue (n = 91). Female gender, presence of comorbid diseases, and past coronavirus disease-19 infection were statistically significant risk factors for having adverse reactions post vaccination, P = 0.02, 0.043, and 0.0002, respectively. Conclusions: The data suggest that Covishield is well tolerated in the Indian population. Fever, local pain, tenderness at injection site, and fatigue are few commonly reported side effects. All the side effects were mild to moderate in terms of severity.

Oral cancer constitutes around 2.1% and it is the sixth-most common malignancy worldwide and the third-most common type of malignancy in India. The purpose of this systematic review is to find the prediction of survival rate among oral cancer patients using artificial intelligence (AI) and its forms like machine learning. Suitable articles were identified by searching PubMed, Trip database, Cochrane, and Google Scholar host databases. The search was done with the help of PIO analysis where the population stands for oral cancer patients, the intervention given here were AI and its subsets and the outcome were diagnosis and survival prediction of oral cancer. The screening of the titles and abstracts was done, and only those articles that fulfilled the eligibility criteria were selected. The search resulted in 451 articles, of which only six articles that fulfilled the criteria were included. The studies showed that AI models were able to predict the 5-year survival rate among oral cancer patients. The accuracy of the decision tree classifier, logistic regression, and boosted decision tree models were 76%, 60%, and 88.7%, respectively. Modern age diagnosed people tend to have a longer survival rate than those diagnosed in the past. The limitation was that these studies were created using retrospective cohorts, but for validation, they must be compared with prospective cohorts. These studies are important for identification and survival prediction, which will contribute to future advancements, change in the treatment plan, and reduce health-care problems.

Background: The usage of mobile phones has increased drastically in recent years. Their use without any knowledge of their adverse effects is quite unsafe. Studies on cancers due to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones are available but there is a need to research on the harmful effects of mobile phones on general and oral health among the rampant mobile phone users. Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice or awareness regarding mobile phone radiation and its impact on the oral cavity among the individuals using mobile phones. Materials and Methods: The present study was a self-administered structured questionnaire study which was filled by 259 participants between the age group of 18–33 years through online forms. Results: The study resulted that 50% of the participants did not have knowledge on deleterious effects of mobile phone radiation on the oral cavity and have experienced oral problems such as dry mouth (39.4%) and hypersalivation (41.7%) after prolonged talk time and 54.1% of the participants were aware on the impact of mobile phone radiation on health status. Conclusion: The results showed that most of the participants were aware of the potential risks arising from the use of mobile phones on general health but lacking the knowledge on oral health.

Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is a rare, slow-growing, persistent, locally invasive, and cystic variant of ameloblastoma. This article presents two different variants of UA. The first case was a rare presentation of UA in an 11-year-old patient involving the impacted second molar, which is otherwise usually associated with an impacted mandibular third molar. It was diagnosed with UA-luminal type and treated by a piezoelectric ultrasonic device with minimal trauma to soft tissue. The second one was associated with impacted mandibular third molar extending the entire ramus of mandible till the coronoid which was diagnosed with UA-mural type and treated by cystic enucleation with platelet-rich fibrin graft. Recurrence was not observed during a 6-month follow-up. The aim of this case presentation was to give an insight into the destructive nature of UA and its diagnosis and management to maxillofacial surgeons as well as dental practitioners.

Context: Menopause, when menstruation ceases, is seen with an overall increase in body response to inflammation. Gingiva is no such exception. Gingival inflammation which leads to periodontitis is a condition, which is severe inflammatory in nature, affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth. If not treated in time apparently tooth loss might take place. Pre- and postmenopausal conditions, more or less are critical for inflammatory changes. Aims: In this study, among both conditions which one was oppressive and which reciprocated more to scaling was examined. Settings and Design: This study was a cross-sectional interventional study. Materials and Methods: Sixty female subjects aged between 40 and 50 years with periodontitis were recruited. These were meticulously examined by a gynecologist and equated into two groups of 30 patients each, Group I – premenopausal and Group II – postmenopausal women. Plaque index, periodontal index (PDI), and sulcular bleeding index were compared at baseline and 3 months after scaling. Statistical Analysis Used: IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 software was used. An independent sample t-test was applied for percentage decrement and intergroup comparison and paired t-test for intergroup comparisons. Results: Reduction was significant in all the above parameters in both the groups noted on intragroup comparison from baseline to 3 months (P < 0.001). However, the intergroup showed no significance except PDI at baseline. Conclusions: There was a remarkable effect of scaling on inflammatory conditions such as menopause and periodontitis. In the premenopausal stage only, if women undergo periodontal therapy, it can prevent future aggressive inflammatory changes in the postmenopausal stage.

Background: The recent outburst of nonfluoride remineralizing agents suggests that it may serve as alternative and as an adjunct for fluoride in preventing, arresting, or even reversing dental caries. Aim: This study aims to assess the caries prevention potential of a variety of nonfluoride agents in children, with an efficient and extended literature database search. Materials and Methods: Electronic (MEDLINE, PubMed, and The Cochrane Library) and manual searches were conducted for relevant studies published till March 2020. Randomized control trials (RCTs) that investigated the effect of nonfluoride remineralizing agents such as casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), ACP, arginine, probiotic, xylitol, chlorhexidine, and nanoparticles in remineralization and prevention of dental caries were assessed. Results: Twelve studies met the criteria. There were 2653 patients in the test group and 2596 in the control group. Participants using nonfluoride agents were more likely to experience a reduction in dental caries compared to control ([standardized mean difference {SMD}] −0.55 [−1.06, 0.04], 95% confidence interval [CI], I2 = 98%), but there was substantial heterogeneity (98%) across studies. Moreover, an overall statistically insignificant benefit of Non-fluoride agent was detected (SMD −0.55 [−1.06, 0.04], 95% CI, I2 = 98% P < 0.00001). Conclusion: High-quality RCTs on the preventive effect of nonfluoride agents in children are still important to make a conclusive recommendation.

Conclusion: High-quality RCTs on the preventive effect of nonfluoride agents in children are still important to make a conclusive recommendation.","PeriodicalId":31361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral Research and Review","volume":"14 1","pages":"71 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43732200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a great impact on the practice of dentistry. Dental setups are potential focal points for cross-infection, and utmost care must be taken to reduce the risk of infection to, from, or among dentists, paradental staff, and patients. A specific concern for children is the uncertainty of their infection status; a clinical history may not be as suggestive of the infection as it is in adults. This makes pediatric dentists more prone to getting infected by the disease. The present review is aimed to provide an overview of potential dental emergencies in pediatric dental practice and a summary of the available treatment strategies that can be utilized by pediatric dentists with an aim to minimize aerosol generation to reduce chances of transmission during and after COVID-19 pandemic.
