Mesiodens are considered as one of the most common supernumerary teeth which results in various problems in the oral cavity. However, there have been no studies conducted for establishing the prevalence of same in pediatric population, in Bhairahawa, Nepal. The main objective of the study was to determine the prevalence rate of mesiodens in children between the age group of 4-12 years. Clinical examination and radio vediographs of 1240 patients were investigated. A total of 32 patients were found to have mesiodens/mesiodents’. The study shows a prevalence rate of 2.58% with sex ratio of 15:1 favouring males. Mesiodens is commonly seen supernumerary tooth in children which leads to various problems leading to malocclusion in oral cavity. Early detection and treatment can be helpful in resolution of future problems.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is an extremely debilitating neuropathic pain in which Carbamazepine (CBZ) is the preferred drug of choice in pharmacological management and surgical intervention to be considered only when drug therapy proves ineffective. However, it’s long-term use leads to refraction along with severe side effects has made to search for a suitable alternative to CBZ.Present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Oxcarbazepine (OXC) in those patients, who failed to get adequate relief despite taking CBZ for longer span. 15 patients including 12 males and 3 females (age group 30-65 years) mean age 53.3 years were prescribed OXC in subsequent doses of 300mg, 600mg, 900mg, maximum up to 2400mg and the pain relief was analysed using grading as No response, Moderate and Excellent response. Significant pain relief was observed as the dose was increased in the range of 1200-2400mg. Likert scale (5 points scale) for treatment satisfaction was used in which 2 patients marked as very satisfied, 11 patients were found to be satisfied, whereas only 2 marked as neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. : OXC, proves to be a useable alternative to CBZ in terms of being cost effective, better pain control and less side effects. A brief review of the drug OXC is also added.

There are so many factors which contributes to the development of the peri implantitis or may work as etiological factors which can lead to formation of peri implantitis. Peri implantitis can occur due to systemic conditions, due to local conditions, due to some personal habits like smoking, drinking, stress, tobacco chewing, not maintaining oral health properly. These all conditions, joined together and lead to formation of peri implantitis.

By holding tissues together to speed up the healing process, surgical sutures are used to secure and restore active or trauma-induced wounds. In dentistry, a variety of sutures are employed. Both absorbable and nonabsorbable suture materials are part of the primary category. A well-fitting suture prevents the displacement forces caused by external agents, functional movements, and muscle insertions. The potential of novel suture materials to resemble wounds and cure wounds is driving up their manufacture in recent times. In order to help the clinician obscure the best possible soft tissue care, this review provides an update on the features and guiding principles of suture selection.

Transverse length related malocclusions are common in orthodontic clinics. They can be as simple as posterior crossbite or as severe as Class III malocclusion, where the jaw is asymmetrical. Cases of lateral malocclusion range from simple alveolar problems to complex problems such as bone asymmetries that occur after adolescence and lead to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). This is a review article to discuss types of transverse malocclusions and most latest innovations in diagnosis and treatment planning. Many methods of diagnosis and correcting maxillary transverse discrepancies have been discussed. Orthodontists should know about the drawbacks of each method.

The autosomal dominant trait that causes Crouzon syndrome is inherited. A rare genetic disorder called Crouzon syndrome may show symptoms at birth or in early childhood. In most infants with Crouzon syndrome, the fibrous connection between some of the skull bones closes early. Trigonocephaly, scaphocephaly and brachecephaly are the consequences of premature closure. In certain cases, the disease does not run in the family of those affected.

In recent years, various researchers have attempted to utilize Aromatherapy for allaying dental anxiety in pediatric patients. The present systematic review aims to comprehend the efficacy of aromatherapy in reducing dental anxiety in pediatric patients, exploring different aromatherapy agents, dispersion methods, and their anxiety-relieving capacities. A systematic search was performed in the following databases: MEDLINE (Ovid), Pubmed, Pubmed Central, Web of Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIEXPANDED), and Google Scholar using the key terms “Aromatherapy” AND “Pediatric” OR “Children” AND “Dental Anxiety” OR “Fear” to identify articles published in the English language without any restriction for the time of publication. A total of nine randomized controlled trials were identified that assessed various essential oils such as lavender, orange, and lemongrass for aromatherapy in pediatric patients during dental treatment. Most of these studies employed aromatherapy using a diffuser during non-pain-promoting dental treatments in children of 6 to 9 years of age. Aromatherapy is an effective non-pharmacological and non-invasive modality for reducing dental anxiety in pediatric patients which is free of adverse effects. However, there's a need for standardized methods of dispersion and clearer guidelines for oil posology
近年来,许多研究人员都尝试利用芳香疗法来缓解儿童患者的牙科焦虑。本系统性综述旨在了解芳香疗法在减轻儿科患者牙科焦虑症方面的功效,探讨不同的芳香疗法制剂、分散方法及其缓解焦虑的能力。我们在以下数据库中进行了系统性检索:使用关键词 "芳香疗法"、"儿科 "或 "儿童"、"牙科焦虑 "或 "恐惧",在 MEDLINE (Ovid)、Pubmed、Pubmed Central、Web of Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIEXPANDED)和 Google Scholar 中查找以英文发表的文章,对发表时间没有任何限制。共发现了九项随机对照试验,这些试验评估了薰衣草、橙子和柠檬草等各种精油在牙科治疗期间对儿科患者进行芳香疗法的效果。这些研究中的大多数都是在对 6 到 9 岁的儿童进行非促进疼痛的牙科治疗时使用扩香器进行芳香疗法。芳香疗法是一种有效的非药物和非侵入性方式,可减轻儿童患者的牙科焦虑,且无不良反应。但是,还需要标准化的分散方法和更明确的精油定位指南。

Also some lesions are connected with these developmental tooth anomalies. These have to be dealt seriously as if ignored they can transform into bigger oral pathologies that can be life threatening. This article sheds light onto these factors an attempt is made to highlighten these lesions that if diagnosed earlier, can be helpful in treatment planning clinically.
