Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of tramadol as a local anesthetic effect. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients were evaluated. Group A given tramadol and Group B given lignocaine. Parameters such as pain on injection, onset of action, duration of effect, and side effects if any were recorded. Results: None of the patients showed any allergic response to the respective drug administered. The onset of anesthesia (objective) for tramadol and lignocaine was, respectively, 165.0 ± 39.80 s and 159.60 ± 35.09 s, not statistically significant (P = 0.613). Mean duration of anesthesia for them was 47.50 ± 7.51 min for tramadol and 45.70 ± 7.10 min for lignocaine, also statistically nonsignificant (P = 0.388). Regarding intraoperative pain, mean was 0.41 ± 1.013 of tramadol and of lignocaine was 0.31 ± 0.451, P = 0.654 also being statistically nonsignificant. Two patients receiving tramadol had nausea and 1 had pain. Those receiving lignocaine, only 1 patient had pain (P = 0.214). Conclusion: Tramadol has an almost similar local anesthetic efficacy with that of lignocaine.

Provisional implants (PIs) can offer a total contribution to a patient's esthetic comfort and chew during the integration of standard implants. Although temporary implants are not intended for osseointegration and have to withdraw at there or 4 months, most of them begin to move during this process, and most of them had extracted before standard implants integration. Resin fixed prosthesis attached to temporary implant abutments gives the patient stability, gives esthetics, and gives protection to traditional implants, compared to removable prostheses, which more quickly leads to the loosening and loss of these temporary implants. Temporary implants could be used with cemented or screwed resin prosthesis or with titanium framework, depending on the patient's bite, bruxism, or clenching. All PIs are made in one piece, titanium grade 5, with V threads and a Bioetched surface (rough surface) to increase the insertion torque and bone to implant contact in soft and hard bone. Temporary upper fixed denture, relined with resin, is the easiest solution for protecting and reducing the risk of failure of some of the standard implants. The possible solution in such cases is the use of temporary implants as support for the fixed structure, acting as protection of traditional implants and bone grafts. Our clinical case was made with six temporary implants TR® 2.7 mm diameter by 13 mm length, grinding extracted teeth using smart dentin grinder, and fixed temporary denture for 3 months. At 4 months, a complete zirconium denture was screwed in standard implants.

Background: The association between preganancy and poor oral health and its effects on preterm low birth infants are well documented in scientific literature. A pilot study was conducted with 160 pregnant women in the year 2016 showed that oral hygiene awareness among pregnant women was least among those who did not complete basic school education. This was the motive to conduct the present survey. Aims and Objectives: The Aim of this survey is to determine the knowledge and awareness on oral hygiene practices and to evaluate the role of education status on awareness of poor oral health and pregnancy outcomes among 500 pregnant women in Chennai city, Tamil Nadu, using self-tested questionnaire. Materials and Methods: A Descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 500 pregnant women attending maternity clinics in Chennai using Self administered questionnaire. Results: Among 500 participants majority of them 72% of school educated never visited dentist. Only 6.2% of Undergraduate women was referred by gynecologist for dental check up during pregnancy. 31.3% of school educated felt that first trimester was safe to undergo dental treatment with p=0.000. Conclusion: This survey showed that level of education played a significant role in awareness about oral hygiene among pregnant women.

Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a nonglycosylated pentameric polypeptide comprising 206 amino acid residues. CRP causes activation of the classical complement pathway by binding to various autologous and extrinsic ligands exposed on membranes of injured, necrotic, or cells undergoing apoptosis. There is evolving evidence which strongly suggests that CRP is an inflammatory marker and is significantly elevated in patients diagnosed with tumors such as hepatocellular, pulmonary, and breast carcinomas. In addition, serum CRP level has been shown to be associated with size of tumor (T), clinic-pathological characteristics, and metastasis to lymph nodes. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare serum CRP levels in potentially malignant disorders and oral malignancies. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional prospective study was designed to study serum CRP levels in patients with oral potentially malignant disorders (leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis), patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma, and normal controls. Study participants were divided into four groups: (1) Group I comprising 40 patients with leukoplakia, (2) Group II comprising 40 patients with oral submucous fibrosis, (3) Group III comprising 40 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma, and (4) Group IV comprising 40 controls. Five milliliters of venous blood was collected after venipuncture from the antecubital vein followed by centrifugation, and serum was separated. This separated serum was analyzed for CRP levels using SPINREACT kit and semi-automated biochemical analyzer (Kyoto, Japan). All obtained data were entered into Microsoft Excel Worksheet 2007, and tabulations were performed using SPSS 16 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software (IBM Corporation, Chicago, IL, USA). P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Mean ± standard deviation values derived were 5.5 ± 4.8 mg/dl (Group I), 6.1 ± 4.9 mg/dl (Group II), 10.5 ± 2.4 mg/dl (Group III), and 2.1 ± 1.6 mg/dl (Group IV), respectively. On applying one-way analysis of variance for comparison of three groups, P < 0.003 was obtained. The results implied that an extremely significant statistical correlation existed between all studied groups when serum CRP levels were compared. Conclusion: Serum CRP levels are prognostic markers in oral potentially malignant disorders and oral malignancies.
背景:c反应蛋白(CRP)是一种由206个氨基酸残基组成的非糖基化五聚体多肽。CRP通过与暴露在损伤、坏死或凋亡细胞膜上的各种自体和外源性配体结合，引起经典补体途径的激活。越来越多的证据强烈表明，CRP是一种炎症标志物，在确诊为肿瘤(如肝细胞癌、肺癌和乳腺癌)的患者中显著升高。此外，血清CRP水平已被证明与肿瘤大小(T)、临床病理特征和淋巴结转移有关。目的:本研究的目的是比较潜在恶性疾病和口腔恶性肿瘤的血清CRP水平。材料和方法:本横断面前瞻性研究旨在研究口腔潜在恶性疾病(白斑和口腔黏膜下纤维化)患者、口腔鳞状细胞癌患者和正常对照者的血清CRP水平。研究参与者被分为四组:(1)组包括40名白斑患者，(2)组包括40名口腔黏膜下纤维化患者，(3)组包括40名口腔鳞状细胞癌患者，(4)组包括40名对照组。经肘前静脉穿刺取静脉血5毫升，离心，分离血清。分离后的血清使用SPINREACT试剂盒和半自动生化分析仪(日本京都)分析CRP水平。所有获得的数据都输入到Microsoft Excel Worksheet 2007中，并使用SPSS 16 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences)软件(IBM Corporation, Chicago, IL, USA)进行制表。P < 0.05为差异有统计学意义。结果:得到的平均±标准差值分别为5.5±4.8 mg/dl(第一组)、6.1±4.9 mg/dl(第二组)、10.5±2.4 mg/dl(第三组)和2.1±1.6 mg/dl(第四组)。三组比较采用单因素方差分析，P < 0.003。结果表明，当比较血清CRP水平时，所有研究组之间存在极显著的统计学相关性。结论:血清CRP水平是口腔潜在恶性疾病和口腔恶性肿瘤的预后指标。

Background: Maxillofacial injuries are a serious public health problem and are often associated with severe morbidity, disfigurement, and psychological problems. The life of the patient often takes a turn for the worst and he/she has to face many difficulties moving forward. Analysing and determining the quality of life of such cases will give us a better understanding and insight and will further improve the care and treatment of the patients. Aims: Analyse and evaluate the psychosocial impact of maxillofacial fractures on individuals who were healthy pre-trauma. Material and Methods: The participants are the 30 patients with facial trauma reported to the Department of Oral and maxillofacial surgery of the School of Dental Sciences and Krishna hospital, Karad, who will be required to undergo surgical treatment (i.e., Open reduction and internal fixation for facial fractures) and are willing to participate in this study. All 30 patients were given a questionnaire form modified from the pre-existing Acute Stress Disorder Scale, Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire and Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale, which includes questions regarding speech, sense of taste, pain, uncomfortable eating, orientation, tension, unsatisfactory diet, interrupted meals, difficulty to relax, embarrassment, irritability, occupational dysfunction, etc. during their 15 days follow up appointment post-surgery. This obtained data was then analysed and was subjected to appropriate statistical analysis. Result: In a study sample of 30 patients, 8% were found with intense psychosocial issues due to trauma, 14% had a moderate, and 18% had mild issues that affected the quality of their life post-trauma. Conclusion: The study shows a great need for psychological screening and evaluation of patients with maxillofacial injury/fractures due to trauma to improve the patient's physical and psychological recovery.

Background: Maxillofacial trauma is one of the growing concerns in the field of health sector around the world. Fractures of the maxillofacial region often lead to considerable morbidity of esthetics and function. Aim: This study aims to establish the incidence and pattern of facial bone fractures as well as to present their etiology, frequency, and distribution among the cases reporting in the major trauma center of eastern Uttar Pradesh. Materials and Methods: The total number of patients included in this study was 575. The data were obtained from previous documented records. Proportions and relations of data are compared with the help of the Chi-square test. P < 0.05 suggests results are significant. Results: Of 575 patients, 376 patients had isolated fractures and 199 patients had mixed fractures. The mandible is the most commonly affected bone. The most commonly involved anatomical site was parasymphysis of the mandible (25.6% [202/790]), followed by zygomatic complex 14.9% (118/790). The mean age of patients was 28.92 years with a male predilection. The mean age for males and females was 29.44 years and 24.29 years, respectively. The most common age group involved in maxillofacial injury was 21–30. The correlation of anatomical sites of maxillofacial fractures according to age group was inferred to be statistically insignificant as P > 0.05. The most common mode of injury was inferred to be road traffic accidents (85.7% [493/575]). The correlation between anatomical site and mode of injuries was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study concludes that road traffic accident is the most common mode of injury and the most common bone involved is the mandible, with parasymphysis being the most affected anatomical site. The current study also demonstrates a significant correlation between the anatomical site of injury and the mode of injury.

The mean age of patients was 28.92 years with a male predilection. The mean age for males and females was 29.44 years and 24.29 years, respectively. The most common age group involved in maxillofacial injury was 21–30. The correlation of anatomical sites of maxillofacial fractures according to age group was inferred to be statistically insignificant as P > 0.05. The most common mode of injury was inferred to be road traffic accidents (85.7% [493/575]). The correlation between anatomical site and mode of injuries was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study concludes that road traffic accident is the most common mode of injury and the most common bone involved is the mandible, with parasymphysis being the most affected anatomical site. The current study also demonstrates a significant correlation between the anatomical site of injury and the mode of injury.","PeriodicalId":56210,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dental Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":"182 - 186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44717242","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}
