Aim: This study determines molecular docking to know the selected active compounds of lemon grass against bacterial receptor proteins of Porphyromonasgingivalis and the minimum inhibitory concentration of lemon grass extract against P. gingivalis. Materials and methods: The lemon grass essential oil extraction was subjected for evaporation to remove the methanol and was collected for analysis by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Analysis (GCMS) to know the compounds of lemon grass which was effective against peptidyl-arginine deiminase of P. gingivalis. Molecular docking technique was done to study these compounds and their interactions with the target protein in the test organism. Finally, minimum inhibitory concentration was done to know the antibacterial activity of lemon grass oil components against P. gingivalis. Results: A total of 15 compounds were obtained after GCMS analysis but 3 main compounds were selected i.eCitronellol, D-Limonene and Geraniol. D- limomonene exhibited good binding with a score of -6.05. Geraniol and Citronellol exhibited a binding score of -5.84 and -5.32 respectively for P.gingivalis. 200µl of extract of lemon grass caused 50.2% reduction in number of colonies of P. gingivalis Conclusion: The active ingredients from lemongrass oil containing Citronellol, D-Limonene and Geraniol showed antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis with MIC of 20µl/ml.

Endodontic treatment of two maxillaryincisors with dens invaginatus is reported. Invaginated teeth present technical difficulties with respect to their management because of complicated canal morphology. This case was treated by conventional root canal treatment. The signs and symptoms ceased after the treatment. At follow up examination after 18 and 20 month the teeth were asymptomatic and radiographically showed sound periodontal and periapical tissue.

Despite its limitations and drawbacks the Miller’s classification system continues to be the most popular system for classifying gingival recession defects (GRDs), however, recent studies have challenged the use of Miller’s classification system and many new classification systems have been proposed. Mahajan’s classification system is a modification of Miller’s classification and has been found to be reliable in identifying GRD. Since predicting the pathogenesis and prognosis of the disease process in GRDs is an essential requirement for a valid classification system and till date no study is available in the literature which assesses the predictive capacity of the modified Millers classification, the present study was done to evaluate the same. A total of 21 GRDs were classified according to the modified Miller’s classification and were treated subsequently. At the end of the study the modified Miller’s classification system was found to have satisfactory predictive value and the post operative results correlated well with the pre-treatment prognosis for various recession classes.

Preservation of the dental extraction sockets through bone grafting has been a key procedure to maintain the volumetric aspect of the bone walls. This has been proven successful in bone preservation for future implant insertion or prosthetic treatment. Several materials of bone allograft, xenografts, synthetics and membranes were successful in socket preservation however the healing duration and the outcome of bone formed differs. Ten patients selected with posterior extraction sockets for the augmentation procedure, the bone graft mass mixed with Amnio-Spark fluid (Salvin Dental Specialties, Charlotte, NC, USA) and the wound secured with sutures and left to heal with no covering membrane. Post-operative visits scheduled at two, four and twelve weeks’ intervals for monitoring of the healing and core biopsies were harvested from the augmented extraction sockets and examined histologically at the twelve’s week. At two weeks, there was considerable formation of tissue covering the bone graft material which continued to progress into keratinized tissue in four weeks. Core bone biopsies taken at twelve weeks demonstrated a pattern of viable bone formation with minor remnants of the bone graft material. This case series will demonstrate the effectiveness of the amnio- fluid in rapid formation of gingival tissue on top of the augmented extraction socket wounds. Additionally, it will histologically confirm expedited bone remodeling into the extraction socket following the augmentation

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a non-neoplastic lesion that affects children and young adults. Various treatment modalities have been suggested for CGCG. The most commonly applied is surgery with possible variable recurrence rates. Other treatment modalities such as calcitonin and intralesional steroid have been used with good results. In the current case report, a 14-year old boy presented with an aggressive CGCG of the mandible that had been treated with six weekly intralesional injections of steroids that provided very good results.

Post-operative pain and swelling is one of the common complications following mandibular third molar surgery leading to very disturbing days immediately following third molar extraction. On considering the impact of such post-operative sequelae on the patient’s quality of life, it is necessary to exercise preventive measures to minimize the occurrence of such complications / untoward events. Although many retractors are already in application for retraction of tissues during the third molar extraction, this manuscript describes an innovative multifunctional concept “Nyer Zet-ractor” designed for retraction and isolation without limiting the accessibility to the surgical area in mandibular third molar surgery. The “Nyer Zet-ractor” described in this manuscript is an innovative device which provides the advantages like clear access, continuous visibility and excellent isolation of the surgical site unlike conventional retractors with minimal retractive forces thereby reducing post-operative pain and swelling. Nyer Zet-ractor implements a multifunctional concept of retraction making it an efficient, easy to use, and exerts a known and finite amount of force, thereby avoiding tissue damage.

Introduction: Though changing patterns of tooth extraction have been reported in the literature which included the age, gender, tooth type and indications for extraction, there is still paucity of studies that have examined the variation and changes in the pattern of tooth extraction over a period of time in a given nation. We therefore accessed the pattern and indications of tooth loss in the patients who presented at oral surgery clinic for intra-alveolar tooth extraction over a twelve month period. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of adult patients tooth extraction between September 2015 and August 2016. Patients’ demographic and clinical data were collected with a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. Variables were subjected to Pearson’s chi-square test and P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 240 adults age range between 18 to 75 years of age with mean age of 36.64 years were included in the analysis. Maxillary teeth (231) and mandibular teeth (326) were extracted in 203 and 263 patients respectively. Caries and its sequelae, 223(93%) were the predominant indication for tooth extractions. Lower second molar (25%), and upper third molar (20%) had the highest frequencies. More female (126, 52.5%) than male (114, 47.5%) had extraction done, the difference is however not statistically significant (X2 =1.67, P Value = 0.195) Conclusions: Dental caries and its sequelae are the most frequent cause of tooth extraction. Tooth extraction was more in Patients in the fourth decade as well as in the Female gender, even though the difference between male and female is not statistically significant. And there is increased in number of male who had extraction done compared to what obtained in the past decades. Left side of the mouth appeared to be more affected.

Background: Malocclusion is recognized as one of the most common dental problems affecting the young adults and adolescence globally. Oral functions and facial aesthetics are influenced by the severity of malocclusion and it's of great concern to the individual, their families and health authorities as well. Most of the reported studies for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are from the eastern, southern and central region. To the best of our knowledge no data is available for the northern region of Hail; therefore the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of malocclusion among the population of Hail city. Methodology: Descriptive study having a cross sectional study, convenient sample size of 504 Saudi populations between the age group of 13 – 50 years. Informed consent was taken from the participants before conducting the examination, parents’ consent was sought for children. Malocclusion was recorded as described by WHO, oral health Survey, and basic methods. Each subject was examined for the type of malocclusion according to Angle’s classification. Results: Most predominant malocclusion was Angle’s Class I 41.7% in females and 26.2% in males.15.4% males and 23.3% females had excessive overjet (>2mm) compared to 38% males and (24.3%) females who had reduced overjet (2mm) whereas 32.3% males and 20.5% females had reduced overbite (<1 mm), anterior cross bite was reported in 5.6%males and (1.3%) females and open bite in 5.6% males and 5.5 % females. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the prevalence of malocclusion in Hail region of Saudi Arabia is comparable with that of other regional studies.Most of the study participants exhibited Angles class I occlusal features with normal overjet and overbite.

Work-related back pain has the highest proportion approximately 60% followed by the neck pain. The objective of this review is to make the dentists aware of the effectiveness of ergonomics, education and exercise to prevent premature disability resulting from neck and back pain. Dentists have a high global prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSD) disorders and low back pain (LBP) is leading amongst those followed by neck pain. There are ample pieces of evidence about the role of ergonomics, education and exercises in primary and secondary prevention of musculoskeletal pain. These interventions can be introduced to dentists as primary prevention to avoid from neck and back problems.
