Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the reasons for extractions of permanent teeth in the regional population METHODS: During the period of six months, data was recorded from the patients those who required the teeth extraction for the treatment, using a specially designed survey form. The reasons for tooth extraction were assigned to different causes, i.e., Dental caries, Root stumps, Periodontitis, Trauma, Impaction, Therapeutic and Retained deciduous and others. The data requested for each extraction were: Age of the patient, sex, diagnosis, number of teeth, anterior teeth and posterior teeth. RESULTS: A total of 297 permanent teeth were extracted from 200 patients during the study period of 6 months from January to June 2018. The age of the patients ranged 15 to above 65 years. Total of 297 teeth were extracted, 95(47.5 %) male and 105(52.5%) were female. largest numbers of teeth were extracted in the age groups of 35-44 in females (15%) and 25-34 in males (13.5%) years followed. ). Periodontitis (37%) was found to be the main cause of tooth extraction followed by dental caries (29%) in the study population.

Esthetic rehabilitation of a preschooler with advanced carious lesions or a trauma is the mainstay of pediatric dental practice. Parental desire is the most decisive factor for the placement of an anterior esthetic appliance. The present article discusses about unique case reports highlighting the fabrication of Groper’s appliance in a young child with early childhood caries and with trauma which is a simple technique for the placement of a fixed type of an anterior esthetic appliance. It constituted a design, whereby the maxillary primary second molars were used to support the appliance through bands and a wire that contained an acrylic flange bearing trimmed acrylic teeth, anteriorly. The appliance was functionally and esthetically compliant.

The primary objective of periodontal therapy is to restore and maintain the health and integrity of the attachment apparatus of teeth. In adults, the loss of teeth or periodontal support can result in pathological teeth migration involving either a single tooth or a group of teeth. This may result in the development of a median diastema or general spacing of the teeth with or without incisal proclination, rotation or tipping of bicuspids and molars with the collapse of the posterior occlusion, and decreasing vertical dimension. Adjunctive orthodontic therapy is necessary to resolve these problems. Alignment of crowded or malposed teeth should be an advantage to clean up all surfaces of the teeth, which is essential care for the periodontitis. The present case report discusses the clinical presentation and treatment carried out in a case of generalized aggressive periodontitis with pathological migration of teeth by combined periodontal and orthodontic therapy.

Odontomas represent hamartomatous proliferations of odontogenic epithelium and ectomesenchyme. Odontomas are classified under benign calcified odontogenic tumors, which are composed of more than one type of tissue (enamel and dentin) with anatomic resemblance to normal tooth (composite compound odontoma) or simply as an irregular mass (complex compound odontoma). The present case report describes a case of compound odontoma in a 15-year-old male child.

Accelerating rate of orthodontic treatment has gained significant popularity due to the increased demand from orthodontic patients to reduce the time taken for orthodontic mechanotherapy. Rapid canine retraction employing various distraction methods has been employed for severe crowding, Angle’s Class II Division 1 malocclusions, bidentoalveolar protrusion, root shortening, and malformation, as well as in patients presenting with periodontal problems. Various distraction methods are available for canine retraction. The present case report demonstrates the effective use of two different distraction methods to accelerate canine retraction, and subsequent reduction in overall orthodontic treatment time.

“Gingival enlargement” is the increase in the size of gingiva which usually overfills the interproximal spaces, ballooning out over the teeth and sometimes even protruding into the oral cavity. It may occur as a localized enlargement or may be generalized involving the entire dentition. It is multifactorial in origin having the influence of bacterial plaque, systemic factors, genetic predisposition, and various medications. Sometimes, it may be idiopathic without any specific etiologic factor. Two different treatment modalities, namely scalpel and electrocautery can be used for treating gingival enlargement. In the present case report, these two different treatment modalities were used in the same patient with idiopathic gingival enlargement to compare their handling properties and effect on initial wound healing.

The aim of the present case report is to present a case showing the treatment of Epulis fissuratum in relation to an ill-fitting denture treated with nitrous oxide cryosurgery. Epulis fissuratum associated with an ill-fitting denture greatly hinders mastication and produces discomfort and pain to the patient. The nitrous oxide cryosurgery can be used effectively in its management, due to its excellent hemorrhage control and post-operative healing. A 64-yearold male reported with Epulis fissuratum in the maxillary anterior vestibular sulcus, which was associated with an ill-fitting denture. Nitrous oxide cryosurgery was used for the treatment of the lesion. During the procedure, nil hemorrhage was achieved, and the post-operative healing was satisfactory. Nitrous oxide cryosurgery, hence, can be used effectively as it has the boon of achieving excellent hemostasis, good healing with minimal post-operative edema and pain, and maintaining an aseptic environment. This technique can be effectively used in the treatment of Epulis fissuratum besides it can also be used in the treatment of other oral soft tissue pathologies achieving a plethora of benefits.

Background: Resilient liners are prone to bond failure with acrylic resin base, creating an environment for bacterial growth and accelerated break down of soft liner, resulting in a deteriorating prosthesis. Aims and Objectives: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of mechanical, chemical, and mechanochemical pre-treatment of denture base resin on the tensile bond strength of heat-cured permanent resilient liners. Materials and Methods: A total of 320 cuboidal blocks (40 mm ×x 10 mm x 10 mm) of heat-polymerized acrylic resin (Trevalon) were made which were equally grouped into Permasoft (Group 1) and Acrasoft (Group 2). Each group was further subdivided into four subgroups based on surface pre-treatment of denture base, namely: Control, chemical (methyl methacrylate [MMA]), mechanical (sandblasting with 250 μ aluminum oxide particles), and mechanochemical (sandblasting followed by MMA). A 3-mm thick resilient denture liner was packed between two resin blocks. Then, each subgroup was divided into two test groups (n = 10) for testing tensile bond strength (using universal testing machine) after 24 h and 30 days post-immersion in artificial saliva. One-way ANOVA and Tukey test were used for data analysis. Results: The tests resulted in greater tensile bond strength for Acrasoft group compared to Permasoft at both 24 h and 1 month. Between the two time periods, it was more for 24 h group. Among all methods, mechanical method resulted in superior tensile bond strength. Conclusion: This in vitro study concluded that all the tested pre-treatment methods showed better tensile bond strength than control group, maximum with mechanical group.
背景:弹性衬垫容易与丙烯酸树脂基结合失效,为细菌生长创造环境,加速软衬垫的分解,导致假体恶化。目的:探讨义齿基托树脂机械、化学、机械化学预处理对热固化永久性弹性衬板抗拉强度的影响。材料与方法:制作热聚合丙烯酸树脂(Trevalon)共320个立方体块(40 mm ×x 10 mm x 10 mm),将其分为Permasoft组(1组)和Acrasoft组(2组)。每组根据义牙基托表面预处理分为4个亚组:对照组、化学组(甲基丙烯酸甲酯[MMA])、机械组(喷砂250 μ氧化铝颗粒)和机械化学组(喷砂后MMA)。在两个树脂块之间填充3毫米厚的弹性义齿衬垫。然后将每个亚组分为两组(n = 10),分别在人工唾液浸泡24 h和30 d后测试抗拉结合强度(使用万能试验机)。数据分析采用单因素方差分析和Tukey检验。结果:与Permasoft相比,Acrasoft组在24小时和1个月的拉伸强度更高。在两个时间段之间,24小时组更多。在所有方法中,机械方法具有较好的拉伸粘结强度。结论:本体外研究表明,各预处理方法的拉伸结合强度均优于对照组,以机械处理组最大。
