Flabby ridges displaceable tissues are a common finding in long term denture wearers. Careful management is mandatory, failing which flabby ridges adversely affect the retention, stability and support of complete dentures. Management of flabby ridges can be driven either surgically or prosthodontically. A list of techniques has been noted in the literature for prosthetically managing flabby tissues such as Zafarullah Khan Technique, modified Zafarullah Khan Technique, Shum & Pow Technique, Hobkirk’s Technique, Palatal splinting using two part tray technique, etc. The decision to consider which material & or technique is appropriate depends on the particular clinical situation. Moreover, the advent of newer dental materials has added to this confusion. The proper diagnosis and planning is required for selecting the material and technique according to the displaceability of the tissues. This article describes a series of clinical scenarios, incorporating these impression techniques and materials for managing the condition.

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.

In edentulous patient, restoring labial fullness is a delicate technique. To achieve our clinical aim, proper communication between the dentist and the laboratory technician is required. In some completely edentulous cases, the prominent enlarged labial flange of a complete denture contributes to poor facial aesthetics. To solve this problem, the complete denture was adjusted and a gum-fit or flangless denture was prescribed. This case reports presents a simple, cost-effective, conservative and non-surgical option for fabricating dentures in a patient with a large maxillary ridge in order to improve the patient's facial aesthetics.

This study was conducted to determine if a hand instrumentation exercise on painted typodont teeth is a useful guided self-assessment tool for predoctoral students compared to artificial calculus on typodont teeth. Four (4) artificial calculus typodont teeth and four (4) painted typodont teeth were scaled by 69 fourth year dental students in fall of 2015 in their dental licensure board preparation course. Selected typodont teeth were free of calculus and instead painted. Students were asked to participate voluntarily in the survey for their perception of the new exercise and self-assessment of their hand instrumentation skill. The same set of survey questions were given after scaling artificial calculus and after painted teeth on mounted dental hygiene models on Simulation Manikins. Forty-four (44) students participated in the survey. The survey revealed that students felt significantly more familiar with overall hand instrumentation techniques after painted tooth exercise than calculus typodont teeth exercise. However, their responses showed statistically less confidence in their skill level in overlapping strokes, adequate force and correct finger grasp than traditional calculus typodont teeth. Students found the painted teeth exercise helpful in advancing their practical skills and spatial and anatomical arrangement (p < 0.05). For experienced predoctoral students, the painted typodont tooth exercise provided a more detailed, targeted self-assessment and better practical skill advancement than a traditional calculus typodont exercise.

Cleft palate and lips are the most common congenital anomalies affecting the new born. It can occur isolated or together in various combination and/or along with other congenital deformities. Most common difficulty occur due to this type of anomalies in newborn children’s are difficulty while feeding, which occur because of complete absence of oral seal required during sucking of milk. Early surgical intervention can’t be given to such patient till the age of 6 months till that time these patient are treated with interim types of feeding appliances. This case report present a 2-month-old neonate born with cleft palate, assisted with new feeding appliance made of polymathy methacrylate polymer (PMMA).

This study aimed to determine oral health knowledge and practices among first-year undergraduates of the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, and to compare the same among students of the health related (HRF) and non-health-related (NHRF) faculties. Data was collected from 504 students across eight faculties using an online questionnaire prior to commencing discipline-based academic programs. Mean scores for oral health knowledge and practices were 62.56±10.68 and 71.89±15.4, respectively. HRF students showed significantly higher scores for both parameters than NHRF students. Oral health knowledge was associated positively with age, parental education and female gender. Unsatisfactory knowledge scores were observed regarding inter-dental cleaning aids and awareness of oral health toward systemic health. The results revealed, undergraduates exposed to health-related subjects in their school career had better oral health knowledge and practices. Thus, incorporation of health studies for all students in school curricula is important. The level of knowledge and practices could be lower among young adults in the general population as the study sample consisted of only the highest achievers among the young adults. Therefore, oral health education programs are recommended to address knowledge deficits, increase awareness of interdental cleaning and the influence of oral health on systemic diseases.

One of the significant iatrogenic complications during endodontic treatment is Furcal perforations which may lead to endodontic failure. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been regarded as an ideal material for perforation repair. This case report describes repair of furcal perforation in a young permanent mandibular molar of a 10year-old male patient using MTA. The tooth was treated endodontically followed by placement of zirconia crown in respect to 46. Follow-up was done 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. After 12 months of follow-up, complete barrier formation of the furcation area was seen and no pain in relation to tooth no 46.

: As a dentist, it is very important to know the occlusal relationship of primary dentition so that any malocclusion in permanent dentition can be predicted at early stages and corrected accordingly by orthodontic treatments. The ideal occlusion and spacing in primary dentition acts as a mirror for the prevalence of malocclusion in the permanent dentition. : The aim of the study was to assess the occlusal relationships between the primary canines and the primary molars and spacings in primary dentition among a group of 3-6-year-old children.: A total of 120 children, comprising of 60 boys and 60 girls aged between 3-6 years irrespective of the race and socioeconomic status were randomly selected. The examination was done using pen light and mouth mirror. The occlusal assessment will be done only on children who are healthy and free from extensive caries that would affect the mesiodistal or occluso-gingival dimension of a tooth and, therefore, influence the occlusal characteristics. The primary molar relationship and the canine relationship will be assessed using Foster and Hamilton criteria with the teeth in centric occlusion. Primate space will be measured between primary lateral incisor and canine in the upper and primary canine and deciduous first molar on the lower on both the arches using a digital caliper [0-4 mm]. The obtained data was entered into Microsoft excel and chi-square test will be used for statistical analysis. : The study showed that, on left side, mesial step molar relationship was found in 53.3% boys and 55% girls, whereas on right side, 55% of boys and 51.6% of girls showed mesial step molar relationship. On left side, 77% of boys and 70% of girls showed class I canine relationship. On right side, 73% of boys and 67% of girls showed class I canine relationship. Primate spacings were found in 77% of children in maxilla and 84.7% of mandible.: The in vivo study concluded that, 1. Mesial step molar relationship was the most common Occlusal relationship of primary molars. 2. Class I canine relationship was the most common canine relationship in primary dentition. 3. Maxillary arch showed more percentage of primate spacings than mandibular arch. The early identification of molar and canine relationships and spacing present will help in prediction of future permanent molar relationship and probable future malocclusion.

The preservation of deciduous teeth is essential until normal exfoliation. It plays an important role in preventive and interventional dentistry. Early loss of a deciduous tooth or teeth can have various consequences. Space maintainer of the intra-alveolar kind is advised when the deciduous second molar is lost before the eruption of the first permanent molar. This report discusses a modified Willet appliance in cases where loss of primary deciduous first and second molar occur prior to eruption of permanent mandibular first molar.

Local anaesthesia makes the patient and the dentist comfortable to do treatment with least amount of discomfort, but dental patient’s most frequent fear is of receiving local anaesthetic injections. The present study attempted to evaluate and compare patient’s perception to pain, pressure and discomfort induced by three types of injections (Infiltration, mental nerve block and inferior alveolar nerve block injection) for mandibular anaesthesia. Patients were asked to grade pain, pressure and discomfort associated with injection insertion on visual analog scale. Inferior alveolar nerve block was graded the most painful nerve block, while Infiltration was graded as the least painful. Patient’s perception to pressure and discomfort was highest for inferior alveolar nerve block and lowest to mental nerve block.
