microRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a family of small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and protein expression. microRNAs have influence on a broad range of physiologic and pathologic conditions. They are also considered as promising biomarkers especially when they are secreted extracellularly. In the inflammatory pathways, they dysregulate the molecular processes and contribute to the development of chronic inflammatory diseases including periodontitis. In this review, we provide an overview of miRNA characteristics, biogenesis, mechanisms of action and profiling methods. In addition, the role of miRNAs in the pathobiology of periodontitis, especially those pertaining to the cellular and molecular pathways of inflammation has been considered to enhance our understanding of the pathobiology of periodontitis.

With the advancement of the transportation system and improvement in road conditions, the number of high- velocity accidents has also increased. Almost all of these reported cases involve individuals who had travelled in vehicles without adhering to personal protection standards and with rash driving. Injuries to the facial region can be profoundly disturbing and particularly in children. Parents find it very distressing to see their child in pain with a disfigured or injured face. It is difficult to manage such crying & sometimes uncontrollable children. The most commonly injured facial bones are Nasal, Zygomatic and the Mandible. The incidence of facial bone fracture in children is uncommon, and we present a case report of an 18- month old child with a history of road traffic accident and swelling on the right side of the face. Intraoral examination shows limited mouth opening with submucosal ecchymosis in the right buccal mucosa and based on clinical and computed tomographic scan working diagnosis of fracture in the right body of the mandible was arrived. The child was surgically treated with the circum-mandibular wiring. After three weeks the splint was removed. The injury healed without complications in the post-operative period.

For a long time, oral exfoliative cytology (OEC) has been implemented as an effective preliminary diagnostic tool for pathological lesions and various methods for fixation of the cytology specimens have been studied. The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy between the wet and spray type of fixation methods for Papanicolaou (PAP) stained oral cytosmears. The study comprised of 45 healthy subjects in the age group of 20-25 yrs. For each subject, two smears were collected from the buccal mucosa and subjected to wet and spray fixation methods respectively. Both the smears were stained using a commercial Rapid Pap Kit. Smears were observed microscopically and evaluated for cytomorphological features involving uniformity of staining, cellular morphology, nuclear morphology, cellular staining, nuclear staining and presence of impurities. Comparisons were made between the two methods of fixation and statistically analysed using McNemar non-parametric test. Cells were evenly distributed in wet-fixed smears (n=38, 95%) compared to spray fixed smears (n=19, 47.5%). Wet-fixed smears showed lesser impurities (n=13, 32.5%) than spray fixed smears (n=27, 67.5%). However, other parameters such as cytological and nuclear morphology, staining of cytoplasm and nucleus were found to be not significant when compared between the two methods of fixation (p<0.05). The study shows that wet-fixed smears have better cellular distribution and relatively fewer impurities when compared to the spray fixed smears. The method of wet-fixed smears may be used as an alternative to spray fixed smears. A larger sample size may be required for further validation.

Class III malocclusions pose a challenge to the orthodontist, and conventional treatment options to treat this condition in an adult patient include orthognathic surgery, or orthodontic camouflage. Up until a few years ago, orthodontic camouflage for correction of a Class III problem involved retroclination of the lower anterior teeth and proclination of the upper anterior teeth. The advent of skeletal anchorage systems has opened up new vistas in camouflaging Class III malocclusion due to mandibular prognathism. This article reviews the various treatment planning considerations, both clinical and radiographic, for camouflage of Class III malocclusion by miniscrew assisted distalization of the mandibular dentition, and also discusses treatment options, procedures, biomechanics and possible pitfalls.

The introduction of the recent 2017 classification of periodontal diseases has been welcomed by the periodontal fraternity. The new classification has used available evidence as the backbone for its development. It has been felt by many experts that a good understanding is required for its practice. Towards this, a Malaysian PerioSymposium was organised in May 2019 to comprehend the classification and also to identify the right path towards its learning among undergraduate students of dentistry in Malaysia. The symposium was conducted and moderated by local and international experts. Apart from the few limitations identified, the new classification was recommended to be taught in the undergraduate dental programme across schools in Malaysia.

Oral lichen planus is a disorder that affects the oral mucosal. Desquamative gingivitis (DG) is usually a manifestation of oral lichen planus (OLP) and may be the only clinical presentation of these disorders. There is erosion of the superficial epithelium layer. Such lesions impede proper oral hygiene indirectly increase the long-term risk for plaque-induced periodontal disease via plaque accumulation. This case report presents a multidisciplinary management of an Indian male, who suffer from OLP related desquamative gingivitis with the diagnosis of generalized chronic periodontitis. The patient was jointly managed by oral medicine specialist, periodontist and prosthodontist. Proper mangement and long term maintenance can significantly reduce the morbidity in patients associated with these conditions.

Fixed functional appliances are non-compliance dependent devices, which can assist the correction of Class II malocclusion. The mechanics of the fixed functional appliances may vary depending on the type of device used. We report the observed biomechanical effects of using the ForsusTM Fatigue Resistant Device (FRD) fixed functional appliance. The patient was a 14-year-old female presented with a Class II division I malocclusion on a Class II skeletal base. The malocclusion was complicated by a 10mm overjet and increased traumatic overbite. She was treated with the ForsusTM FRD appliance worn for 5 months after the alignment with fixed appliances (0.022” X0.028” MBT prescriptions) and finished on a non-extraction base. Dento-alveolar changes were the main contribution to the correction of the malocclusion and simultaneously improved the patient’s profile in the end of treatment. In conclusion, ForsusTM FRD appliance can be suggested to effectively correct Class II malocclusion.

Solanum ferox L. is a plant species which belongs to the Sola-naceae family and the genus Solanum. The Solanum genus was found to exhibit anticariogenic activity and was tradition-ally used to treat oral diseases. However there are no scien-tific studies done specifically for Solanum ferox L. Hence the aim of the study is to determine the anticariogenic properties of flesh and leaf of ethanolic extract of Solanum ferox L. Alka-loids, flavonoids and tannins were detected in the leaf etha-nolic extract via preliminary phytochemical screening. The presence of these phytochemicals may contribute to the anticariogenic activity. Treatment with different concentra-tions of flesh and leaf of ethanolic extract were used against Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus via the method of agar well diffusion to indicate zones of inhibition. The antibiofilm activity of the flesh and leaf ethanolic extracts was tested. The flesh and leaf ethanolic extracts possess sig-nificant (p<0.05) dose-dependent on antimicrobial activity and positive antibiofilm activity against respective pathogens. Flesh ethanolic extract has stronger anticariogenic activity compared to leaf ethanolic extract against Staphylococcus aureus. Streptococcus pyogenes exhibited higher susceptibil-ity as compared to Staphylococcus aureus. In conclusion, it has been shown that the ethanolic extract of Solanum ferox L. exhibit anticariogenic properties against Streptococus py-ogenes and Staphylococcus aureus

Aim:The purpose of this study was todevelop a risk indicator applicable on a national level, to isolate at relatively high-resolution, regions where oral cellulitis risk is high. Method:The method used ten years of Western Australian (1999 to 2008) hospitalisation data, and applying the admission risks gleaned from this database (poverty, socioeconomics, age and Indigenous status) to model across Australia (at SA1 level) the risk profile. Five levels of oral cellulitis risk (low to very high) were mapped to each of the 54,000 SA1s that makeup Australia.Cumulative percentage analysis was used to study the effect of distance from capital city of each state on the number of population at high risk. Results:Highest risk category (category 5) SA1s were not equally distributed amongst States, with the Northern Territory having 12.2% of its population (26011) belonging to category 5 (very high risk). The majority of that population (87.8%) live more than 100km away from the capital city, Darwin.A general trend amongst Australian capital cities was the low number of population at high risk within 5 km from General Post Office (GPO).

In a rapidly aging society, many patients will have multiple medical co-morbidities and on polypharmacy. Dental patients rarely have medical emergencies during their treatment and it is because of this rarity, that the odd emergency that presents can overwhelm the dentist’s ability to cope despite their theoretical knowledge.
