Mouth rinses are topical agents that can be used after adequate mechanical plaque control measures to help one keep the oral cavity clean. Children have less manual dexterity and motivation for adequate brushing or flossing. Hence, mouth rinses can act as an adjunct to mechanical plaque removal methods and help in preventing dental caries, halitosis, mucositis, and gingival/periodontal diseases in children.Mouth rinses can provide effective biofilm control that can do wonders for oral health. From antibiotics to probiotics, various compositions of mouthwashes have been introduced from time immemorial to the 21 century. This review is an overview of the literature search on mouth rinses from 1942 to 2022. The purpose of this review was to compile the history and various types of mouth rinses that can be used in children, many of these are commercially available and some are under clinical trial.

In orthodontics, the most prevalent sagittal problem is Class II malocclusion, which affects one-third of the population. During active growth, myofunctional appliances are usually used to address sagittal discrepancies associated with the retruded mandible. Due to non-compliance with traditional myofunctional appliances, fixed functional appliances have been developed.Powerscope appliance is used to successfully manage the growing skeletal class II malocclusion for the correction of skeletal and dental parameters. The patient's profile dramatically showed improvement with the reduction in ANB angle by 4 degrees.

Esthetics is the major concern among patients seeking dental treatment which can be hindered by discrepancies in the anterior teeth like presence of spacing and disturbances in tooth morphology. In cases where multiple spacing of anterior teeth are present, injection technique using composite can be replacement for the direct restoration technique due to its non – invasive, cost effective nature. This case report depicts the case of anterior tooth recontouring after an orthodontic treatment managed with composite injection technique using preheated universal composite and digital workflow. This technique results in marginal precision improvement and superior esthetics when planned and executed appropriately.

Our purpose in this systematic review is to compare the lingual Vs labial orthodontic and overview the mental and physical outcomes in young boys and girls. From 2012 to 2022, we conducted a literature search of publications that had been published in PubMed Medline, the Cochrane Library, and additional sources (Google Scholar, clinicaltrails.gov). We screened the main electronic databases. Due to the nature of the review, all sorts of studies were considered, including descriptive studies, surveys, reviews, commentaries, and editorials. In the current investigation, the recommended methodology was used to assess the risk of bias. Six distinct domains were addressed using the two-part technique. The present systematic review yielded 1500 articles on initial search; first 715 duplicate publications were removed. After screening additional 590 articles were excluded and 124 full articles were assessed for the study. 14 studies concentrating upon the current status of the orthodontic study. 14 studies concentrating upon the current status of orthodontic Curriculum comparison of lingual and labial orthodontic of patients were included in this systematic review. From the result, we can conclude that the lingual appliance group scored much higher than the buccal appliance group. During the first 2-4 weeks after lingual brackets were inserted, the majority of lingual patients saw gradual improvements in their oral impairment.

Oral cancer (OC) is a significant public health problem; however, the degree to which the future public health workforce is aware of this issue is not well researched. The purpose of this study is to explore the level of knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions about OC among public health students.A sequential exploratory mixed-method research design was employed for this study. Using quantitative and qualitative measures, a survey was administered to 129 public health students. Subsequently, to understand the quantitative findings, two follow-up focus groups were conducted with survey participants.We found that participants had some knowledge about OC risk factors, but they were not aware of survival rate of it. About 58.9% of the participants responded the survival rate for OC is ‘more than 61%’. The majority of the respondents (67%) had never heard about OC exams. In the focus group, four major themes were identified: lack of knowledge, strategies to educate the community about OC, current public health practices around OC prevention, and role of public health professionals in this. Participants felt the need for collaboration between oral health and public health to raise awareness about OC in the community.Participants’ knowledge and awareness about OC was encouraging but at the same time, it raised a concern about their competency in OC prevention interventions. Ensuring holistic oral health education through the coordination of public health and oral healthcare services can play a critical role in preparing future public health workforce for OC prevention.

Skeletal class III malocclusion in adult patients are generally managed by orthognathic surgery. However, the prognosis is poor when the patient refuses surgical line of treatment. In such cases orthodontic camouflage through dentoalveolar compensation may be attempted. Presently, with the advent of stationary anchorage, en mass distalization appears to be a common choice. This article demonstrates an en mass distalization carried out in the upper and lower arches in a class III skeletal case, refusing surgery. After initial levelling and alignment, TADs (temporary anchorage devices) were placed bilaterally mesial to the first molars in upper and lower arches. After a month, distalization was initiated with 300 gms force applied per side using elastomeric chain. At the end of the treatment, the anterior cross bite and crowding was resolved and the patients profile improved. Thus, en masse distalization with TADs appears be a good choice in class III skeletal cases refusing surgery. It is minimally invasive and cost effective.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is classified as, and behaves like, a benign bone neoplasm. It is often considered to be a type of fibro-osseous lesion (FOL). It can affect both mandible and the maxilla, particularly the mandible. This bone tumour consists of highly cellular, fibrous tissue that contains varied amounts of bone or cementum resembling calcified tissue. Present case is an unusual report of ossifying fibroma involving the left side of maxilla in a 13-year old male patient, who presented to the department with a painless hard swelling. The lesion was treated by surgical enucleation and curettage.Surgical enucleation and curettage was performed.: Healing was uneventful, patient has been kept on a regular follow-up regimen.The case report and treatment of an unusual case of Ossifying fibroma in the maxilla of a paediatric patient has been described. Based on our experience, we suggest that proper correlation of the clinical, radiological and histological features is necessary to establish a definitive diagnosis, as well as for proper surgical intervention. As reported in the literature, the rate of recurrence is not very high, but long term periodic follow-up is warranted.

To assess and compare the accuracy of the second-generation TPS probe with the first-generation manual (Williams) probe for assessing pocket probing depth (PD).In this comparative investigation, 90 subjects were used. We categorized the teeth and groups of teeth. Patients were split into three groups—periodontally healthy, gingivitis-free, and periodontitis—based on pocket depth and gingival index. Two probes were used on Ramfjord teeth to measure the depth of the pockets. Ramfjord teeth group wise, the manual probe's measured pocket depth was more than that of the TPS probeIn all groups, mean PD readings were deeper with the manual probe than with the TPS probe, with the periodontitis group showing the greatest difference, followed by gingivitis and the periodontally healthy groups.

Sex determination is an important aspect in identification of individuals especially in cases of identifying victims of mass disasters, organised crimes etc. Odontometry is the measurement and study of tooth size. Cranial anthropometry is the measurement of skull dimensions and is considered to be a versatile technique in the investigation of the craniofacial skeleton because of its validity and practicality. To assess tooth crown area of the deciduous molar teeth, to assess head size, to evaluate the extent of sexual dimorphism using head and dental dimension: This study was done in 150 boys and 150 girls. Maxillary and mandibular arch impressions were made, casts were made with dental stone. A vernier calliper was used for obtaining the measurements. Mesiodistal width and buccolingual width of all the molars were measured in millimetres, tooth crown area (TCA) was calculated. Head dimensions were measured using Martin spreading calliper, Cephalic Index (CI) was calculated. Statistical analysis was done using unpaired “t” test, and logistic regression analysis was performed.: The highest tooth crown area was shown by mandibular left second deciduous molar for both boys and girls (p<0.05). Boys showed higher cephalic index compared to girls (p<0.05). The highest percent dimorphism was obtained for maxillary left first deciduous molar.Tooth crown area and head size can serve as a valuable aid for sex determination in pediatric population.
