A drug is defined as a chemical substance which alters functions of living organisms. These are used as a medication for the diagnosis, prevention, control or for treatment of a disease. Drugs effects depend on various factors such as body size, general health of individual, amount and strength of medication and whether one drug is taken or two are taken at same time. Dentists also use certain medications for management of some health conditions which affect oral cavity. Medications used in dentistry may be used for management of pain, prevention of diseases or fight against infections. These can also be used before or after any dental procedure to reduce pain or discomfort and also to prevent complications associated with dental procedure. These drugs may also develop variable adverse effects such as headache, skin rashes, nausea, sweating, lack of appetite etc depending on type, and dose of drug taken. Medications used in dentistry include anaesthetics, pain killers, antibiotics, antiviral drugs and antifungal etc. This paper provides an insight to the various medications, their role in dentistry & how they can help a dentist.

Pleomorphic adenomas (PA), which account for 40–70% of all occurrences of salivary gland tumours, are the most common kind of big and small salivary gland tumours. The most frequent intraoral PA sites are the lips, buccal mucosa, and palate. A slow-growing, painless swelling on the posterior lateral region is the clinical sign of palatal PA. This article's goal is to give readers some important details about its clinical characteristics, radiological characteristics, and treatment regimens.

The aim of the present research study was to assess the correlation of various Dermatoglyphic patterns with the sagittal skeletal discrepancies and oral clefts. Pre-treatment digital lateral cephalograms of forty patients were taken in natural head position obtained. The sagittal jaw relation was determined with assessment of the following parameters: SNA, SNB, ANB, Wit’s appraisal, condylion to Point A, condylion to gnathion, angle of convexity and facial angle (Steiner’s, Down’s, McNamara and Wits Appraisal). The Dermatoglyphic of patients were taken with the help of Cummins and Midlo method. The fingerprints were recorded using the ink stamp method. The dried distal phalanges of both hands were rolled on an ink pad and stamped on paper which was fixed in place with adhesive tape. The prints obtained were assessed for the frequency of arches, loops and whorls. The dermatoglyphic results that were noted among the 4 groups showed a significant 38% of Arch pattern prevalent in the Class I subjects, 61% of Whorl pattern in Class II subjects, 67% of Loop pattern in Class III subjects and 71% of Loop pattern in Cleft subjects. The percentage distribution of the Dermatoglyphic patterns within the three groups of sagittal skeletal discrepancies and clefts for the 10 fingers (N=40) were evaluated for their significant association based on Fisher’s exact test. Furthermore, Chi-square test indicated a statistically significant (p<0.001) association between the dermatoglyphic patterns and sagittal skeletal discrepancies and clefts, more than 54% of Class I subjects showed a positive correlation with Arch pattern, 33 % of Class III subjects and 35% of Cleft subjects indicated Loop pattern prevalence, whereas 46% of the Class II subjects showed a high tendency for the Whorl pattern.No significant type of Dermatoglyphic pattern in Skeletal Class I malocclusions. There was increased frequency of Whorl pattern in Skeletal Class II malocclusions and increased frequency of Loop pattern in Skeletal Class III malocclusions and clefts. The patients with the oral clefts generally don’t have the proper maxillary development due to which they have the tendency towards the development of Skeletal Class III malocclusion, so presence of loop pattern in Class III malocclusion and oral clefts was seen.

Newer concepts in dentistry as well as the patient’s preference to maintain their dentition, have lead to treatment of teeth that once would have been removed. Usually, because of dental caries and periodontal diseases mandibular first molars were the ones got extracted commonly, although they play a key role in maintaining the occlusion. To this previous concept of extracting the complete tooth even if only the mesial or distal part is affected, came the present concept of removal of only the diseased part of the tooth under specific conditions. Then the remaining sound tooth structure can be endodontically treated and prosthetically rehabilitated along with the adjacent tooth using fixed partial denture. Present case report enlightens a simple procedure of hemisection in mandibular molar and its subsequent restoration.

The purpose of this pilot study was to analyse the prevalence of occlusion in primary and mixed dentition and correlate it with gender among pre-school and school children of Hazaribag city of Jharkhand. A total of 408 children participated in the study. Out of which, 202 children of 3-5 years age and 206 children of 7-11 years were selected from schools in Hazaribag city of Jharkhand., India, and their occlusion was recorded based on the terminal planes. Data were statistically analysed applying Chi-square test using SPSS software. The most prevalent occlusion seen in the present study for Primary Dentition was Mesial Step plane (69.3%) followed by Flush Terminal plane (28.7%) and Distal Step (2%) respectively and the results were statistically significant. A significant correlation was also noted with gender. Males showed more Mesial Step plane (72.6%) than females (65.6%) and order of occurrence of occlusion was same in both the sexes. The most prevalent occlusion seen in the present study for Mixed Dentition was Class I (94.7%) followed by Class II (4.4%) and Class III (0.9%) respectively and the results were statistically significant. A non-significant correlation was also noted with gender. Males showed slightly more Class I (94.8%) than females (94.5%) and order of occurrence of occlusion was same in both the sexes. The Mesial Step plane is significantly more prevalent in preschool children and Class I occlusion is significantly more prevalent in school children of Hazaribagh.

Facial dysmorphologies and malocclusion can be diagnosed and corrected through the use of cephalograms. However, maintaining a harmonious proportional relationship between facial landmarks remains essential for their correction. Cephalometric measurements are instrumental in the decision-making process of treatment, however, variations in the reference planes of an individual's face can always affect the cephalometrics as they change over time, ultimately affecting the treatment plan. This necessitates the use of a more reliable craniofacial referencing system, such as Natural Head Position (NHP), as the standard for cephalometric measurement.

: Pediatric injuries involving the facial bone are associated with severe injury and trauma. Trauma is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children. Although less, maxillofacial fractures contribute to an important part of morbidity in children.: Nineteen children with facial trauma (range 6-16 years of age) were treated in a rural medical college in Tamil Nadu, India. Mostly they were soft tissue injuries out of whom nine patients were with bony injuries. The mean study time is 10.4 months; however, the maximum follow-up is 3 years. Most of the injuries were treated conservatively, MMF and Splints, however ORIF with plate and screws were done in four cases. Soft tissue injuries are more common than bony injuries in children. Parents were very anxious and patients were not cooperative and convincing them for treatment of these fractures was difficult. This is because of illiteracy and poor socio-economic status in rural areas. ORIF was done with minimal periosteal stripping. Children tolerate MMF poorly and to our surprise, these patients tolerate ORIF with plates and screws better. Orthodontic hard stainless-steel wires were also used in a few cases to minimize surgical procedures. We were not able to use absorbable plates because of cost factor. Facial injuries with fractures of facial bones in children are uncommon but occur more frequently in major trauma like motor vehicle accidents and sports-related injuries. The greater osteogenic potential and faster healing rate in children help us to treat with conservative therapeutic procedures and with minimal displacement of fractures.

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) while investigating awareness and readiness for orthodontic treatment. The primary objectives were to understand the burden of OSA and explore the potential role of orthodontic interventions in managing this condition. The study employed a cross-sectional design, including a sample of 48 adults and 46 children from various geographical areas in Chennai. Craniofacial morphology assessments and validated questionnaires (Berlin Questionnaire for adults, Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire for children) were utilized for OSA risk assessment. Participants were screened for risk factors and symptoms, and their awareness of OSA and willingness to pursue orthodontic treatment were evaluated. Ethical guidelines were adhered to, and data were collected through standardized forms and electronic databases.Among the surveyed adults, 85.7% were identified as loud snorers, and significant proportions experienced daytime fatigue (53.6%) and choking during sleep (46.4%). Findings also revealed disrupted sleep patterns in 57.1% of adults, with 32.1% seeking medical consultation. Notably, 25% were aware of OSA, and none were familiar with orthodontic treatments. However, 53.6% expressed willingness to undergo orthodontic appliance treatment. In the pediatric population, 31% of children were loud snorers, and 34.5% experienced tiredness at school. While 17.2% of parents were familiar with OSA, only 3.3% knew about orthodontic treatments. Nevertheless, 34.5% expressed a willingness to pursue orthodontic appliance treatment for their children. The study reveals a significant prevalence of OSA symptoms in both adults and children. Despite a high prevalence of symptoms, awareness of OSA and knowledge about orthodontic treatment options are notably low. Overall, enhancing public understanding of OSA and its treatment options can pave the way for more diverse and effective interventions.
这项横断面研究旨在评估阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）的患病率，同时调查人们对正畸治疗的认识和准备程度。主要目的是了解 OSA 的负担，并探索正畸干预在控制这种情况方面的潜在作用。研究采用横断面设计，包括来自钦奈不同地区的 48 名成人和 46 名儿童样本。颅面形态评估和有效问卷（成人柏林问卷和儿童儿童睡眠问卷）被用于 OSA 风险评估。对参与者进行了危险因素和症状筛查，并评估了他们对 OSA 的认识和接受正畸治疗的意愿。在接受调查的成年人中，85.7%的人被确认为大声打鼾者，相当大比例的人在白天感到疲劳（53.6%），并在睡眠中窒息（46.4%）。调查结果还显示，57.1%的成年人的睡眠模式受到干扰，32.1%的人寻求医疗咨询。值得注意的是，25%的人知道 OSA，但没有人熟悉正畸治疗。然而，53.6%的人表示愿意接受正畸矫治器治疗。在儿童群体中，31%的儿童鼾声响亮，34.5%的儿童在学校感到疲倦。虽然 17.2% 的家长了解 OSA，但只有 3.3% 的家长知道正畸治疗。然而，34.5%的家长表示愿意为孩子进行正畸矫治器治疗。研究显示，成人和儿童的 OSA 症状都很普遍。尽管症状发生率很高，但对 OSA 的认识和对正畸治疗方案的了解却明显不足。总体而言，提高公众对 OSA 及其治疗方案的认识可以为采取更多样、更有效的干预措施铺平道路。

Implant supported overdenture is the treatment modality that is proven to be a minimalist treatment option in present day for an edentulous patient Managing edentulous patients' prosthetics has always been a difficult task. Traditionally, the standard of treatment has been complete mandibular and maxillary dentures. However, because of discomfort, stability, retention, and difficulty in masticating, the majority of patients report difficulty adjusting to their mandibular denture. When considering the implant supported or implant retained prosthesis options several treatment plans can be formulated. The present article is a case report that discusses the fabrication and the advantages of an implant supported overdenture that takes support from both the implant and the soft tissue around it and thus has proven to be an effective solution to edentulism.
