Purpose: The objectives of our study was to describe the effective use of menthol crystal vapor inhalationin the remission of the symptoms of COVID-19 patients (inclusive of the reversion of the positive status to negative) and to establish the preventive role that menthol plays as it relates to the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Patients and Methods: These are clinical observational studies carried out in Jamaica between April 2020 to June 2021 at the Faculty of Dentistry of the International Postgraduate Medical College, Montego Bay Jamaica.We reported two (2) studies which includes: Study 1: A single-centre open label therapeutic trial study which comprise of four (4) elderly patients between the age of 67 years and 83 years with an average age of 77 years. Each patient was consecutively included in the study within 24-hours post positive testing for COVID-19 and placed on a menthol crystal Inhalation regimen (MCIR) for three to four days consistently, then tested on the third or fourth dayafter the commencement of the regimen. The immediate effect of menthol crystal inhalation on the oxygen saturation of three out of the four patients was also documented. All these elderly patients were symptomatic prior to the PCR testing.An additional group of three younger (middle age) patients of age range of between 35 and 49 and average age 41.3 Years were also consecutively included in this study.Again, each patient was included in the study less than 24 hours after a positive testing for COVID-19 and placed on a menthol crystal Inhalation regimen (MCIR) with one patient tested after 4-days, the second patient tested after 3-days, and the third patient tested after 2-days. In Study 2 (the prevention study of menthol crystals), the prolonged utilization of menthol in a dental practice for 14-months with the aim of preventing COVID-19, in both the patients and dental health care worker. Results: In study 1, all the four elderly patients became negative after four (4) days of use of menthol crystal with all the initial symptoms subsiding completely within this period. One elderly patient with progressive memory loss regained her memory fully at about the eight (8th) day post commencement of the MCIR. Similarly, each of the three younger patients became negative after the use of the regimen at 2 days, 3 days, and 4 days respectively. Finally in study 2, none of the 1516 patients seen at the mentholated dental clinic and 9 dental healthcare workers employed during this period contacted COVID-19 up to 2 to 3 months after attending the dental clinic for treatment, thus confirming the protection offered by our continuously mentholated environment. Conclusion: The periodic inhalation of menthol crystal utilizing the MCIR has been found to be therapeutic for COVID-19 patients. These studies are also confirmatory of the preventive role of menthol crystal inhalation for COVID-19 when it is used in the MCIR or by making the working area mentholated. The h

Although relatively rare, tumors of the jaw often may rise to extensive sizes and even metastasize presenting a challenge in diagnosis and treatment. Profiling of such lesion is essential as it helps in understanding the nature of tumors in a particular geologic location. Aim: The study was framed to determine the incidence of tumors on the basis of institutional data in Himachal Pradesh and to compare it with previous studies. Methodology: Data was retrieved from archives of DEPARTMENT OF ORAL PATHOLOGY, HIDS within a time span of 3 years (January 2015 and December 2017). The cases were characterized on the basis of World Health Organization classification, 2005 and grouped in different categories. Cases with histopathological diagnosis of tumors were reassessed and re analysed on the basis of clinical history, radiographic records present in the department. Results: In the odontogenic group majority of cases were of ameloblastoma (33%) followed by Odontoma and AOT (Adenomatoid Odontogenic tumor) with 22.2% frequency, in the non-odontogenic group it was mainly a benign fibrous lesion fibroma with maximum frequency (33.3%) followed by other lesions i.e., SCC (Squamous cell carcinoma) 30% and CGCG (Central Giant Cell carcinoma) 7%. Conclusion: In our study, we found ameloblastoma (odontogenic) and fibroma (non-odontogenic) were most frequent tumors among their respective groups.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a locally aggressive, benign fibro-osseous tumor. It usually occurs in young children and arises in the maxillofacial region. It has a high recurrence rate. This pathology would be diagnosed and treated as early as possible because of its rapidly progressive and osteolytic nature which may complicate the surgical removal if left untreated over a long period. The present case is diagnosed as Juvenile ossifying fibroma involving the maxilla causing facial deformity, proptosis, and nasal obstruction in a 15-year-old female child.

Long-term stability of a dental implant depends on various factors, one among them is proper position within the alveolar bone. Pre-operative thorough examination of the surgical site is preliminary step while planning dental implants. Conventional techniques such as Intra-Oral Periapical Radiograph and Ortho Pantamogram sometimes not sufficient and clinical scenario always surprises the surgeon. Later advent of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography alleviated this problem to some extent but there are some clinical situations such as resorbed ridge where better visualisation is needed. This led to the innovation of rapid prototyping techniques for the fabrication of three-dimensional complex structures. This technology has numerous applications from the development of an instrument, 3-D printed anatomical models to the fabrication of 3-D printed tissues for regeneration procedures. A 3-D printed model is much more useful than plaster models in many aspects such as demonstrating anatomical structures, better treatment planning, and better understanding for the patient. Hence, this case series focuses on the use of 3-D printed models in the placement of dental implants.

Background: Mucosal changes related to smokeless tobacco dipping appear to be influenced by many factors; including duration of dipping, frequency of dipping, chemical ingredients of the dipped stuff, in addition to possible genetic and racial factors. In the Sudan the habit of using smokeless tobacco (Toombak) is very common, and it is associated with pathological mucosal changes classified into five distinct clinical presentations: Presentation I; wrinkling with slight discoloration, Presentation II; Café au lait discoloration (Brownish discoloration), Presentation III; smoke-white discoloration, Presentation IV; grizzle discoloration, and Presentation V; cotton-white discoloration. Material and Methods: In this observational prospective study, a survey of oral cancer across 16 different localities was held in the Sudan. A total of 285 Toombak dippers agreed to be examined and of them 161 patients were found to have Toombak dipper-lesions. The clinical presentations of these lesions were identified and recorded into 5 different presentation categories. Furthermore, 64 specimens were cut and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). Microscopic diagnosis was obtained using both WHO-5-Point grading classification and the binary system. The history of the time span was matched with the related clinical and microscopic findings. Results: Regarding the 161 cases; the lower vestibule was the preferred dipping site in 75(46.6%) cases. The average Age of Commencement (AoC) was 24.5 years. The average Estimated Contact Hours (ECH) was 22,338 ± 40,824 hours; equal to 2.55 contact years in lifetime. The dominant mucosal clinical presentation was wrinkling with/without slight discolouration; found in 54 cases, and accounting for 33.6% of the sample. Of the 64 specimens, 51 cases showed hyperkeratosis, 11 cases showed mild dysplasia and the remaining three cases showed severe dysplasia; two cases were cotton- white presentations, and one case was a grizzle presentation. Conclusion: Twenty per cent of Toombak dippers-lesions showed dysplastic cells. The grizzle and the cotton- white clinical presentations are associated with high-risk dysplasia. A significant relationship was found between the clinical presentation and the AoC. No significant relationship was found between the clinical presentation and the Impact of Time Duration (TD), in terms of life-time duration of dipping, number of dippings/day, dip-duration and the Estimated Contact Hours (ECH).

The use of guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been gaining more and more ground in the field of implant dentistry, due to higher confidence in the materials available. As this is a highly versatile technique, the same biological basis-cell exclusion–can be used to treat any type of defect. Vertical augmentation in the alveolar ridge is currently treated by the GBR principle, predictably and with high success rates, using a rigid framework associated with a mix of hydroxyapatite and autogenous bone. Lyophilized bovine bone is the hydroxyapatite of choice for this condition because it allows bone volume to be maintained over a long period of time, due to its slow resorption. Another important char-acteristic found in hydroxyapatite is its porosity since it allows – in addition to graft neo-vascularization–a greater ease of cell adhesion when compared to crystalline materials. Thus, this clinical case presents the use (for the first time in the literature) of a vertical augmentation of an atrophic ridge using Criteria Lumina Bone Porous® as the hydroxy-apatite of choice for association with autogenous bone particles.

A major dental problem in persons with mental retardation/developmental disabilities is poor dental hygiene resulting in poor plaque control which leads to gingivitis, periodontal disease and dental caries. The most obvious reason for poor oral hygiene of such persons is their inability to clean the oral cavity adequately. Caregivers face many challenges in providing good oral care for such individuals. The electric toothbrush has been shown to be effective in plaque removal and gingivitis in both healthy and disabled/ special needs people. They are more superior at removing plaque and reducing gingivitis in both short- and long-term clinical trials. This study assessed the effectiveness of using electric toothbrushes as a means of plaque control in a 10-day pilot program. It was implemented as part of a life skills program at a special needs school in South Auckland. A total of 11 children participated in the program. Informed consent was obtained from parents/caregivers prior to the study. Electric toothbrushes and toothpastes were provided by the author of the study along with and oral hygiene instructions to the teachers/caregivers. The study was evaluated by comparing photos of the teeth before and after the pilot study. Plaque disclosing tablets were used to aid this process as it dyes the plaque making it visible to the eyes. Evaluation /feedback forms were also completed by teachers/caregivers of the special needs unit to ascertain the efficacy of the program. The findings of the study showed that using electric toothbrushes improved both the general plaque distribution and boosted children’s motivation to brush their teeth. The conclusion drawn from this study indicates that while electric toothbrushes are effective at plaque control, a longer intervention period is postulated to obtain clinically significant results or see a significant change in behavior.

The most obvious reason for poor oral hygiene of such persons is their inability to clean the oral cavity adequately. Caregivers face many challenges in providing good oral care for such individuals. The electric toothbrush has been shown to be effective in plaque removal and gingivitis in both healthy and disabled/ special needs people. They are more superior at removing plaque and reducing gingivitis in both short- and long-term clinical trials. This study assessed the effectiveness of using electric toothbrushes as a means of plaque control in a 10-day pilot program. It was implemented as part of a life skills program at a special needs school in South Auckland. A total of 11 children participated in the program. Informed consent was obtained from parents/caregivers prior to the study. Electric toothbrushes and toothpastes were provided by the author of the study along with and oral hygiene instructions to the teachers/caregivers. The study was evaluated by comparing photos of the teeth before and after the pilot study. Plaque disclosing tablets were used to aid this process as it dyes the plaque making it visible to the eyes.

Introduction: Mandibular fractures in the subcondylar area are frequent in the trauma of the maxillofacial area. This injury is frequent almost at the same rate in adults and children. These fractures are treated by open reduction along with internal fixation or closed reduction. The patient’s age, general health condition, and healthcare setting must be taken into account when deciding on the surgical option. Most of the approaches for open reduction and internal fixation of subcondylar fractures carry the risks of injury to the facial nerve branches and developing sialocele. Although the antero-parotid trans-masseteric approach which was introduced by Wilson in 2005and has the least post-operative complications among other approaches, it is still not widely used by maxillofacial surgeons. The article will give some clinical tricks after ten years of clinical experience, in using this approach for treating about 245 mandibular condylar fractures, on 205 patients. Methodology: This is a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the results of adult population group comprising 205 patients. There were totally 245 fractures of which 205 patients’ surgery was done. Data were gathered from January 2010 to December 2020. Only minimal complications were observed within the first ten days after surgery, including slight transient weakening of the facial nerve, particularly buccal branches, in 3.4 percent of cases and unusual edema and trismus in 8.7% of cases, both of which recovered within the first ten days. In none of these cases, a parotid leak/sialocele was discovered. Discussion: Although the antero-parotid trans-masseteric approach is not widely used between oral and maxillofacial surgeons worldwide, it has the least post-operative complicationscompared to the other approaches for treating mandibular condylar fractures. Data collected from January 2010 till December 2020 with a total of 245 fractures operated on 205 patients. Only minor complications were noticed during the 10 days post operative period with mild temporary weakness of the buccal branches of facial nerve in 3.4% of cases and post operative unusual edema and trismus in 8.7% which resolved during the first ten days post operatively.No parotid leak/sialocele was found in any of these cases. Our aim is to give some clinical tricks after ten years experience in using this approach to treat condylar fractures, to simplifying the technique and to achieve the best results with the least complications. The tricks include the type of fractures that can be treated with this approach, to identify the surgical site, to retract the parotid gland along with its attached fascia posteriorly to open through the masseter muscle, to identify facial nerve branches in surgical site, the needs for perfect retraction and the use of optimum muscle relaxant to aid during reduction ofdisplaced and dislocated subcondylar fractures of mandible. Results And Conclusion: Only minor complications were noticed d
