Need for the study: Incisors are commonly damaged by caries or trauma. The major portion of the crown part of a damaged anterior tooth could be restored with a core build-up material which not only reinstate aesthetics but also withstand an array of forces in the oral cavity. Aim: To evaluate the Shear Bond Strength(SBS) of Zirconomer, Resin Modified Glass Ionomer cement(RMGIC), Microhybrid Composite and Nanocomposite as core build-up materials in maxillary anterior teeth. Methodology: 48 extracted intact human maxillary central incisors were collected and divided into four groups.Anatomic crown was trimmed upto fifty percent which involved the enamel and partly the dentin of each tooth. The experimental teeth were mounted in chemical cure acrylic resin and restored with Zirconomer, RMGIC, Microhybrid Composite and Nanocomposites. The samples were subjected to Shear Bond Strength(SBS) analysis using a universal testing machine (UTM). Results: Composites exhibited better mechanical properties than Glass Ionomer Cements. Nanocomposites had the highest Shear Bond Strength followed by microhybrid composites but there was no statistical significance. Conclusions: Nanocomposite possess better mechanical properties and also offers superior esthetics due to its supercilious polishability, proving to be the ideal core build-up material for maxillary anterior teeth.

Background: The studyaimed to compare the plaque removal efficacy of a novel- charcoal-based and a non-charcoal-based manual toothbrush of standardised toothbrush design. Materials And Methods: Sixteen undergraduate students of Sri Ramakrishna Dental College and hospital, Coimbatore, were included in this clinical study. This is a randomised clinical trial with a split-mouth design in which the quadrants that undergo tooth brushing using charcoal-based (test) and non-charcoal-based (control) toothbrushes are randomly selected by tossing a coin. The subjects were asked to refrain from all kinds of oral hygiene practices for 48 hours, following which pre-brushing and post-brushing plaque scores were evaluated by Turesky Gilmore modification of Quigley-Hein plaque index using a two-tone disclosing solution. Tooth brushing was performed by the examiner for a standard time (45sec/quadrant) using the Modified Bass brushing technique with fluoridated toothpaste. Results: The study's results showed no statistical significance between the values. However, the correlation between the total plaque scores and the assigned toothbrushes was also analysed, and a positive correlation was observed between the total plaque score and the test toothbrush. Conclusion: The plaque removal efficacy of charcoal bristled manual toothbrushes with 0.01mm diameter was found to be more or less the same compared with the similar non-charcoal-based counterpoint (1.89,1.39) respectively. Key-words: Charcoal-based toothbrush, Modified Bass brushing technique

Background: Placement of dental implants is one of the most preferred methods of rehabilitation. Just as the periodontal tissue is essential for the stability of the dentition, healthy peri-implant tissue is essential for long-term stability of the dental implant. Objective: To assess the knowledge and Awareness of Peri-Implantitis and Peri-Mucositis amongst dental practitioners Methodology: 370 Qualified dental professionals registered with Dental Council of India who were willing to participate in the study and gave written informed consent. They were segregated on the basis of years of clinical practice and speciality. A pre-validated online questionnaire comprising of 27 questions was created using google forms and circulated among dentists with the consent form. A completely filled questionnaire was submitted online only to the investigator. Chi-square test of proportion and association was used. Mean and standard deviation scores were derived. Results: Knowledge and awareness about Peri-Implantitis and Peri-Mucositis below average amongst dental practitioners but satisfactory amongst periodontists. Conclusion: Workshops and CDE programs should be organised to increase knowledge and awareness about peri-implantitis and peri-mucositis since both are integral parts of Dental Implantology.

Aims: The present study was conducted to assess gender identification and this can be used as a reliable tool in the identification of an individual at any judicial process. Materials and Methods: This study comprised of 82 dental students (42 females and 40 males) with age ranging from 19 to 21 years. Lip prints were recorded with the help of a cellophane tape strip and analysed according to Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification criteria. Results:The mean age distribution among males was 20.07 ± 0.81 where as in females it was 19.78 ± 0.73. Distribution of different patterns in upper lip vertical patterns was very prominent when compared with reticular, branched and intersecting.Distribution of different patterns in lower lip branched patterns was very prominent when compared with reticular and verticals. Comparing between upper lip with lower lip pattern wise there was no statistically significant.Compared different patterns in relation with lower lip the values showing stastically significant (p≤0.05). Conclusion: Lip prints or Cheiloscopy can be used an individual identification. The results obtained in our study do not show any evidence that cheiloscopy can be used as gender identification. This could be because of smaller sample size, we need larger sample to give consolidated evidence related with gender identification.

BACKGROUND Implant therapy is an elective dental procedure of dental rehabilitative treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, awareness, and attitude of dental interns of Central Vidarbha toward dental implants. A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. MATERIAL AND METHODS The analysis protocol was approved by the institutional ethical committee of college. The study was administered out on dental interns studying in dental colleges of Central Vidarbha A cross-sectional based study was designed. A questionnaire was distributed among Intern of Dental Colleges in Central Vidarbha There were total 300 interns from all the dental colleges of central vidarbha but only 287 interns participated in study. There were about 57 male students and 230 female students. The questionnaire consisted of total 15 questions. The entire questionnaire was got validated. The Inclusion criterion was all the willing interns of all dental institutes in Central Vidarbha. The unwilling students were the exclusion criteria. The questionnaire was distributed in form of Google forms The study has been conducted between the periods of January 2021 to June 2021 RESULT 97.9% (281) interns were aware that Dental implant as an alternative treatment modality for missing teeth, 68.6% (197) of interns agreed that implants can have technical and biological complications, 49.8% (143) interns thought that long lasting is the main advantage of dental implants over fixed prosthesis, 45.3% (130) interns thought that case selection is most important factor for implant success. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that the knowledge, awareness, and attitude regarding dental implant is moderately present among dental interns. As the implant therapy is becoming an emerging practice in dentistry nowadays because of its advantages, it is important to train the dental interns regarding it so that they can successfully treat the patient.They were anxious to find more about the dental implants. More writing and practice work ought to be added on the BDS educational plan and interns should be anchorage to assist the implant procedure. The dental institutes should also understand the problems faced by students regarding dental implants and should give importance to this topic during BDS curriculum.

Introduction: Dental education is supposed as an extremely challenging and enormously stressful experience globally. This resultant stress can lead to depression, anxiety, absenteeism, diminished work efficiency, sleep problems, lower academic performances, and burnout. Moreover, it has also been interrelated with drug addiction and substance abuse.The present study was conducted to find out the association of Stress with Substance Abuse among Dental Students in Ghaziabad, India. Methodology:This is a descriptive Cross-sectional study conducted among 275 dental students. Dental Environmental Stress (DES) questionnaire was used to gather the data regarding stress. The assembled data was exposed to frequency distribution analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (SPSS) 21.0v. Association of Level of Stress with Substance Abuse among Dental Students was assessed using Chi-square analysis with ap value ≤0.05 considered statistically significant. Results:The response rate of this study was 91.2%. Out of the 251 study participants, 65.3% were females and 34.7% were males. The mean age of the study subjects was 24.20 ± 3.688. According to the level of stress, there were 18.7% highly stressed students among which 46.8% were having smoking habit and 14.9% consumed alcohol regularly. Association of level of stress with smoking was found to be statistically significant (p≤0.05) whereas its association with alcohol consumption was not statistically significant. Conclusion: In the present study, there is a high prevalence of stress among the dental students and most of the highly stressed students were having habit of smoking.

This resultant stress can lead to depression, anxiety, absenteeism, diminished work efficiency, sleep problems, lower academic performances, and burnout. Moreover, it has also been interrelated with drug addiction and substance abuse.The present study was conducted to find out the association of Stress with Substance Abuse among Dental Students in Ghaziabad, India.\u0000\u0000Methodology:This is a descriptive Cross-sectional study conducted among 275 dental students. Dental Environmental Stress (DES) questionnaire was used to gather the data regarding stress. The assembled data was exposed to frequency distribution analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (SPSS) 21.0v. Association of Level of Stress with Substance Abuse among Dental Students was assessed using Chi-square analysis with ap value ≤0.05 considered statistically significant.\u0000\u0000Results:The response rate of this study was 91.2%. Out of the 251 study participants, 65.3% were females and 34.7% were males. The mean age of the study subjects was 24.20 ± 3.688. According to the level of stress, there were 18.7% highly stressed students among which 46.8% were having smoking habit and 14.9% consumed alcohol regularly. Association of level of stress with smoking was found to be statistically significant (p≤0.05) whereas its association with alcohol consumption was not statistically significant.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: In the present study, there is a high prevalence of stress among the dental students and most of the highly stressed students were having habit of smoking. So, it can be concluded that stress have a significant association with smoking but its association with alcohol is uncertain.\u0000\u0000Keywords:Alcohol drinking,Dental students, Psychological Stress, Smoking, Substance-related disorders.","PeriodicalId":76040,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Dental Association","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80070445","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}

Introduction:Anemia of chronic disease is defined as anemia occurring in chronic infections, inflammatory conditions or neoplastic disorders that are not due to marrow deficiencies or other diseases, and occurring despite presence of adequate iron stores and vitamins. Methods: A total of 40 patients were selected for the study. Participants were divided into two groups viz group A (test group; n=20) with moderate to severe periodontitis and group B (control group; n=20) with periodontally healthy subjects. The patients chosen for the study had at least 30% or more of teeth having greater than or equal to 4 mm probing depth. Clinical parameters like gingival index (GI), Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI), plaque index (PI),probing pocket depth (PD) and clinical attachment levels (CAL) were recorded for all the patients and blood parameters (hemoglobin and red blood cell count) were determined from peripheralblood samples. The results were analyzed statistically. Results: The mean values of hemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cell (RBC) count were significantly reduced in test group as compared to control group. Conclusion: A positive relationship was observed between the blood parameters viz. Hb, RBC count, and the severity of the chronic periodontal disease. Like other chronic conditions, periodontitis can tend towards anemia showing their association. Keywords: Anemia, Chronic Periodontitis, Hemoglobin (Hb), Red Blood Cell Count (RBC Count).
