To determine the prevalence and factors associated with dental anxiety among pregnant women seeking care at the Preventive Oral Health Unit, Institute of Oral Health, Maharagama, Sri Lanka. The participants of this descriptive cross-sectional study were 402 pregnant women seeking care at the Institute of Oral Health, Maharagama for the first time. A validated Sri Lankan version of the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) was used to measure dental anxiety and an interviewer-administered questionnaire collected information about demographics, dental service utilization, knowledge, and the importance of oral health during pregnancy. The prevalence of dental anxiety was 61.7% and the mean MDAS score in the dentally anxious and not anxious were 13.4±3.8 and 9.20 ± 1.7 respectively. According to the binary multiple logistic regression model current employment status, household income, dental care seeking pattern, having had a negative experience during a previous visit to a dentist,poor awareness about the importance of oral health in pregnancy, not receiving oral health instructions from health care providers during pregnancy, the perception that oral care should be avoided during pregnancy were independently associated with dental anxiety. The prevalence of dental anxiety was high among this sample of pregnant women.

Oral leukoplakia is the most common precancerous lesion of the oral mucosa. WHO defined it as a lesion which has a white patch or plaque on the oral mucosa that cannot be removed by scraping and cannot be classified clinically or microscopically as another disease process. Management of oral leukoplakia should begin with elimination of predisposing habit. There are currently different approaches in the management of Leukoplakia such as scalpel surgery, systemic carotenoids and antioxidants, electro cauterization, cryotherapy and Lasers. Even though on-surgical options are preferred choice of treatment, it takes time to achieve complete regression of lesion and sometimes may not achieve complete resolution. On the other hand, conventional surgical techniques are invasive and cause trauma to the patient. Excision of precancerous oral lesions using LASER offers comparative advantages over traditional scalpel excision. Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. It is surgical technique which excises the targeted tissue using emission of a monochromatic light of specific wavelength. Because of this property, laser excision of the tissue results in complete bloodless field of surgery, reduced chances of post-surgical inflammation and infections and hence better treatment compliance of the patients towards the surgery. This is one of the important goals for management of oral potentially malignant disorders. We present two case reports of homogeneous leukoplakia treated using diode lasers of wavelength 810nm with follow-up. Both cases did not report any post-operative discomfort or inflammation. The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of laser excision with minimal complications and better treatment outcomes.

: Chronic periodontitis is a condition that causes inflammation in the tissues that support teeth, gradual attachment loss, and bone loss. Stress is the body's feedback towards detrimental forces, diseases, and additional atypical circumstances that are determined to distress its routine physiological equilibrium. On the other hand, the most prevalent psychological problems connected to periodontitis are anxiety and sadness.: This study intends to assess the relationship between stress, depression, and anxiety with indices of periodontal health.: A total of 171 patients were assessed & divided into 2 groups. Gingival index, modified sulcus bleeding index, community periodontal index for treatment needs, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment level were evaluated. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale–21 questionnaire used as the basis for the psychometric evaluation.: The statistical analysis made use of the student 't' test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. When compared between the two groups, Group A had significantly higher values for each metric. The psychometric parameters and the periodontal parameters had a weakly positive connection (p<0.0001).: According to the current study, people who are stressed, depressed, or anxious are more likely to develop periodontal disease. Therefore, stress, depression & anxiety could be viewed as a significant periodontal disease risk factor.

A tooth with a straight root canal and a single foramen is the exception rather than the rule. Most of the canals have multiple curvatures along their length, which poses difficulty in root canal instrumentation. Because of the presence of curved canals in mandibular molars, Endodontic treatment is very challenging. Curved canals have been found to be relatively higher in mandibular molars, ranging from 3.3 to 30.92% when compared to maxillary molars. Constricted canals and curvatures introduce factors that can increase the risk of procedural errors during root canal preparation. A thorough assessment of the preoperative radiographs, careful and a meticulous approach can yield into a safe and a successful endodontic treatment of such teeth. The current case series presents two such interesting cases of endodontic management of curved canals in mandibular molars.

: To compare the efficacy of active oxygen - containing mouthwash (BlueM) with chlorhexidine mouthwash (Hexidine) and its effect on plaque, calculus, and gingival inflammation.A Double blind parallel study was done on 20 systemically healthy patients with the presence of generalized chronic gingivitis in the age group of 20-45 years. Each subject will rinse their mouth with the mouthrinse assigned to them, or twice daily for one minute in the morning and before going to bed. They will be instructed to swish it properly around the mouth and avoid its ingestion. Descriptive statistics was performed by calculating mean and standard deviation for the continuous variables. Intergroup and intragroup comparisonbetween chlorhexidine and Blue M at baseline (To) and at the end of 3 weeks (T1) showing no statistical differences between the two groups.Blue M can be used as a safe alternative to chlorhexidine in reducing the microbial load. But when compared to each other there wasn't a significant change between them. Chlorhexidine has the edge in being very cheaper compared to Blue M. Further studies are required with conclusive evidence to be able to determine whether oxygen enriched mouthwashes can replace chlorhexidine in the future.

Germectomy (enucleation) of the first bicuspids has shown to be an effective treatment in the management of dental crowding in mixed dentition because it produces intraosseous decongestion of the dental mass between permanent canines and second bicuspids. This provides early available space for the autonomic eruption without interference from the first bicuspid to the permanent canine which erupts into a highly stable position within the dental arch, facilitating and accelerating orthodontic treatment (if required) which would be terminating before the difficult adolescent age. This procedure differs from the orthodontic treatment of extracting the first bicuspids after they erupt when they are already facing a frank crowding, mature periodontal ligament, and deformity of the alveolar process. In our opinion, Germectomy of first bicuspids will replace serial extractions during which time the treating specialist will concentrate on preventive eruption guidance and the management of habits in general such as tongue, thumb, lips, and mouth breathing, in addition to performing Functional orthopedics of the jaws as in deep bites, deficiency or maxillary protrusion among others.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of occlusion on flight time in trampoline competition. Materials and methods: Participants were 10 male trampoline gymnasts (18.9 ± 0.8 years). Dental Prescale was used to measure the occlusal contact state, and the lateral difference in the occlusal contact area was calculated. An all-in-one measurement system (HDTS EU-7100) was used to measure the flight time during consisted of 10 consecutive straight jumps. The correlation between the lateral difference in occlusal contact area and flight time was analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient. A custom mouthguard was fabricated using a 2.0-mm-thick thermoplastic sheet and was adjusted so that all teeth were in even contact with light clenching. Differences in flight times with and without a mouthguard were compared using a paired t-test. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between the lateral difference in occlusal contact area and the rate of flight-time prolongation due to wearing a mouthguard. Results: A negative correlation was observed between the lateral difference in occlusal contact area and flight time (P<0.05, R=−0.697). As a result of comparing the flight time with and without a mouthguard, flight time was significantly longer with a mouthguard (P<0.05). A significant positive correlation was observed between the lateral difference in occlusal contact area and the extension rate of flight time due to wearing a mouthguard (P<0.05, R=0.657). Conclusion: This study revealed a relationship between occlusion and flight time during straight jumps in the trampoline competition and found that the smaller the left-right difference in the occlusal contact area, the longer the flight time. In addition, it was clarified that achieving uniform occlusal contact by wearing a mouthguard contributed to the extension of flight time, and this effect was more pronounced in athletes with uneven occlusal contact.

Dental agenesis is a commonly encountered dental anomaly that affects more than 20% of the human population. It can be categorized as hypodontia, oligodontia, or anodontia. Oligodontia can occur either as an isolated finding or as a part of the syndrome, and the causative factor can be either environmental or genetic.: This report describes three cases of isolated, non-syndromic tooth agenesis with single/ multiple missing permanent teeth. No other associated clinical features or any systemic involvement were present in these cases, suggesting parental consanguinity as a possible etiological factor.: The purpose of this case report is to promulgate premarital counselling and health awareness programs focusing on the potential consequences of consanguineous marriages and their prevention.

Our study's objective was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and understanding of forensic odontology in undergraduate and postgraduate students in Uttarakhand. This is a cross-sectional institution-based study conducted among a total of 465 undergraduate and postgraduate dental students in the state of Uttarakhand. These included 428 undergraduate and 37 post graduate students. Males 94 (20.2%) and females 371 (79.8%) aged between 18 to 40 years were included. A statistically significant difference was also found among the responses received on the questions whether forensic odontology played a role in mass disasters and if teeth could serve as a source of DNA amongst both the groups. 94.5% of the postgraduate respondents were aware of the significance of bite mark patterns of teeth as opposed to 54.4% of undergraduates which was also statistically significant. Our study revealed that postgraduate students had better knowledge, attitude and awareness about forensic odontology as compared to the undergraduate students. Both the groups together lacked adequate knowledge about forensic odontology but agreed that there is a scope in this field of dentistry and were interested in further courses to learn about the study of forensic odontology.
