Abstract

Periodontal abscess is the third most frequent dental emergency, representing 7–14% of all the dental emergencies.. Numerous aetiologies have been implicated. The diagnosis is done by the analysis of the signs and symptoms and by the usage of supplemental diagnostic aids. The treatment of the periodontal abscess has been a challenge for many decades. In the past, the periodontal abscess in periodontal diseased teeth was the main reason for tooth extraction. Today, three therapeutic approaches are being discussed in dentistry, that include, drainage and debridement, systemic antibiotics and periodontal surgical procedures which are applied in the chronic phase of the disease.The localization of the acute periodontal abscess and the possibility of obtaining drainage are essential considerations for successful treatment.The aim of this review is to give a clear idea about periodontal abscess and its management.

Dento alveolar abscess is the third most frequent dental crisis, representing to 7–14% of all the dental crises.. Various aetiologies have been involved. The diagnosis is done by the examination of the signs and manifestations and by the utilization of supplemental diagnostic guides. The treatmen has been a challenge for a long time. Before, this in periodontal diseased teeth was the fundamental purpose behind tooth extraction. Today, three remedial methodologies are being examined in dentistry, that incorporate, drainage and debridement, systemic antibiotics and periodontal surgeries which are applied in the incessant period of the disease.The restriction of the acute dentoalveolar abscess and the plausibility of acquiring drainage are basic contemplations for effective treatment.The point of this review is to give a reasonable thought regarding periodontal abscess and its management.

Abstract

The terms oral lichenoid reactions or oral lichenoid lesions refer to histologically and clinically similar to oral lichen planus. These lesions are described according to the causative factor involved, including direct contact with dental restoration materials, drug-related lesions, and lesions associated to graft-versus-host disease. Drug-induced oral lichenoid reactions were first cited in 1971 by Almeyda and Levantine. Since then, many drug substances have been associated with such lesions. The most common agents are NSAIDs and ACE inhibitors.

Keywords

Abstract

Oral submucous fibrosis is an incidious, chronic disease stirring any part of oral cavity and sometimes the pharynx. South east Asian counties are proven to be high prevent zones.for oral sub mucous fibrosis.. Areca quid related oral mucosal lesions are potential hazard to an outsized e population worldwide. Commercially freeze dried products such as pan masala, guthka and mawa have high concentration of areca nut per chew and appear to cause osmf more rapidly than by self prepared betel quid that contain smaller amounts of areca nut. These chemicals appear to interact with the molecular processes of deposition and or degradation of extracellular matrix molecules such as collagen causing imbalance in the regular process. Various studies done in the past include osmf as potentially malignant disorder. Understanding the etiopathogenesis of osmf may be beneficial to revert the risk factors thereby minimizing the progress of the disease which is included as the priority in the prevention of disease.

Abstract

Child abuse is characterized as those demonstrations or oversights of consideration that deny a kid from the chance to completely build up his or her one of a kind possibilities as an individual either physically, socially or emotionally. The overall incidence of child abuse is not so clear. Measurable information don’t demonstrate the genuine rate due to the unreported cases. Physicians has minimal training in oral health, dental injury and disease and thus may not detect dental aspects of abuse or neglect as readily as they do child abuse and neglect involving other areas of the body. Therefore, physicians and dentists should collaborate to increase the prevention, detection, and treatment of these conditions. Dentists with expertise in child abuse will strengthen their ability to prevent and detect child abuse and neglect and enhance the ability to care for and protect children.

Abstract

The cystic lesions that affect the oral and maxillofacial region are predominantly odontogenic in origin. The odontogenic cell rests entangled within tissue of the jaws such as cell rests of Malassez, cell rests of serre, and enamel organ leads to its formation. The factors leading to the enlargement of these jaw cysts are increased the permeability of cyst wall, increased the protein content of the cyst fluid, and when the intracystic fluid pressure on the jaw bone is increased. This review is an attempt to analyze and compare the components of cystic fluids such as albumin, prealbumin, globulin, and total protein content among various odontogenic cysts.
