Background: It is assumed that the knowledge of mothers would influence their child’s oral health status. Early childhood caries (ECC) in infants and young children has been attributed to improper feeding practices. Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between feeding practices and ECC in preschool children. Design: A total of 400 children between the ages of 1 and 5 years were randomly selected from Nalgonda district. A well-structured questionnaire related to the education status of the mother and the feeding practices given to the child was prepared. The data were recorded, tabulated, and then statistically analyzed from the answered questionnaire. Results: Children of uneducated parents group were found to be at mild to high caries risk and children of educated parents group were found to be at mild risk. In the present study, nocturnal feeding, increased frequency of consumption of milk, in-between meals snacking, and poor oral hygiene were the main causes of ECC. Conclusion: Parents should be aware of various risk factors for the occurrence of dental caries for the proper maintenance of their child’s oral health.

Title: “DENTAL PERSPECTIVE ON BIOMEDICAL WASTE AND MANAGEMENT, A KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND PRACTICE SURVEY: A CROSS- SECTIONAL STUDY”. Abstract: Background: The Biomedical waste is known as the second dangerous waste in the world that needs to be properly managed. Since the implementation of the biomedical Waste Management Rules 1998, every concerned health personnel is expected to have proper knowledge, practice and capacity to guide others for waste collection and management, and proper handling techniques. Objective: This study was planned to evaluate the practical calibration and awareness of Dental surgeons in disposal of hazardous biomedical waste generated during Dental treatment into color coded disposing bags at a Dental clinics. Methods: A cross-sectional, a pretested, semi structured questionnaire based survey containing 53 questions to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice on biomedical waste management among Dental surgeons. Results were expressed as a number and percentage of respondents for each question and Chi-square test was performed for inferential statistical analysis with p value <0.05 indicating level of significance. Results: Results show that a large percentage of the Dentist were not aware of the process of biomedical waste management (89%) whereas about half of the subjects were moderate to slightly aware about the recycling/reusing of Dental materials. Conclusion: The study revealed that knowledge, attitude and practice regarding biomedical waste management among were low. Periodical sensitization and training program should be conducted for health care providers.

Introduction: Oxidative stress and antioxidant defense mechanism may play an important role in the pathology of lichen planus. Objectives: Evaluate the levels of NO in serum of patients with OLP and to compare the levels with the controls. Material and Methods: The study included 30 cases of OLP patients which formed the study group and 30 cases of healthy individuals, which formed the controls. Results: The levels of NO were significantly higher in serum of cases with lichen planus than in normal. Conclusion: Serum NO were found to be higher in oral lichen planus patients which suggested that higher serum levels of NO in patients with OLP might activate the process of lymphocytes and cellular immunity system; hence, possibly endorsing the effect of serum NO in pathogenesis of lichen planus.

ABSTRACT:- Background: - Palatal masticatory mucosa is most commonly used as the donor site for harvesting of the subepithelial connective tissue graft for the selection of the treatment modalities as it may affect the surgical outcome. Therefore the present study was undertaken to evaluate the thickness of masticatory mucosa in relation with age and gender. Methods and materials: - 50 systemically healthy individuals were selected for the study. The younger age group consisted of 25 individuals between age group 15-20 years and rest of the subjects was belonging to the older age group between 30-50 years. A bone sounding procedure was used to examine the palatal mucosal thickness. Results: - The thickness of the masticatory mucosa ranged between 1.3 to 4.4 mm in all the subjects and it also showed variations in relation with age and gender. Conclusion: -Therefore, it was concluded that younger individuals particularly females have significantly thinner mucosa as compared to males and older subjects. Key words: masticatory mucosa, age and gender.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC) is one of the most common salivary gland malignancies. MEC mainly occurs in the parotid gland, along with minor salivary glands being the second common site, particularly palate. Malignancy of salivary glands is rare and comprises less than 3% of head and neck cancers. Mucoepidermpoiod carcinoma occurs most frequently between 3rd to 6th decades of life and affects women more often than men, in the ratio of 3:2. This case report highlights the need for the proper diagnosis and treatment plan in cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma as it can lead to morbidity and mortality.
