Abstract

The amount and standard of bone is a big antecedent for success of any prosthesis. Alveolar ridge defects are common and might be a significant problem in any dental treatment and rehabilitation. Following extractions, dimensional changes takes place in ridge morphology. Starting with initial rapid resorption in the first 2-3 months, the process continues. Periodontal diseases,trauma, tumour or congenital diseases could be the possible cause of alveolar ridge defects. Since this possesses a great degree of functional,hygienic and esthetic concern,it is imperative for the clinician to be aware of the same and execute it in treatment planning protocol. This article reviews the available materials for alveolar ridge augmentation and highlights on their success rates and possible complications.

Keywords

Abstract

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition caused due to multiple factors which results in destruction of connective tissue and alveolar bone that support the teeth. Bacterial plaque is one of the main factors that accelerate the process of destruction. Therefore, controlling the destructive effects of this factor by including agents that could reduce or inhibit the ongoing damage is important. Proanthocyanidins (PA) have various properties including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic thus possessing the ability to enhance gingival health and thus preventing further destruction. There are many studies that have proved these properties both through in vitro and in vivo categories. Thus, this review makes an attempt to discuss the impact of PA’s on the pathogenesis of periodontitis and also to show whether PA’s could be developed as a therapeutic agent for periodontitis.

Keywords

Periodontitis, Proanthocyanidins.

Abstract

Prevalence of systemic diseases by virtue of dental infections, has been widely recognized and accepted by the dental professionals today. In recent times spread of inflammation via neurogenic switching mechanism has found an interest among researchers and reviewers. Neurogenic switching results from the coaction of mast cells and nerves leading to the spread of inflammation from one site of the body to a distant site. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a principle bacterium triggering periodontal disease releases an endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide, which has been found to induce neurogenic switching mechanism, leading to an exacerbation of symptoms of various systemic diseases. Lowering in the microbial count of dental plaque, has shown to recuperate manifestation of various neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory and pregnancy induced conditions. The purpose of this review is to explore the probable link between various systemic diseases and periodontal disease through neurogenic switching mechanism.

Abstract

Smoking is one of the major risk factors for cancer affecting the respiratory tract, oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, uterine cervix, kidney and bladder. Smoking tobacco is responsible for approximately 30% of cancer deaths world over. Nicotine dependence is now considered a disease by WHO (World health organization). The widespread use of tobacco in different forms leading to its addiction is among the biggest preventable cause of death today.

Smoking cessation can not only easily result in the decline of premature deaths but also improve the quality of life. Smoking cessation comprises an integral component of various national and international tobacco control policies. Tobacco quitting programs focussing on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Nicotine dependence should form a major part of primary health care. Smoking cessation can reduce the chance of carcinomas, strokes,and several cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. The habit of smoking is very difficult to quit and requires a very strong will power, motivation and assistance. Several method like Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), other pharmacological intervention, psychotherapy and counselling are employed to help the tobacco users to quit smoking. In recent years there is a lot of interest in the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) techniques, like essential oils and acupuncture as therapeutic alternatives for cessation of smoking. Essential oils and aromatherapy,play a very important role in smoking cessation and their role in smoking cessation should not be ignored even though very little information is available regarding their use. This review shall help in understanding the different essential oils available and their uses which can prove beneficial in smoking cessation.

Keywords

Abstract

One of the challenging problems faced by general dental practitioner is treatment and management of teeth with furcation involvement. In advanced furcation involvement cases when other treatment options are precluded for financial or other reasons, tunnel preparation procedure remains the preferable option to extraction. Specially in the posterior teeth gaining access for oral hygiene procedures is difficult and thereby this technique could be considered as an alternate and successful treatment modality. This case report presents the management of a grade IV furcation with a tunnelling approach.

Abstract

Gingival and periodontal diseases are among the common problems in oral health globally and is seen to be rising more in developing countries. Most of these diseases are caused due to the microbial aggregates in dental plaque. The conventional chemotherapeutic agents have limited success in the complete elimination and prevention of periodontal disease. Rise of incidence in periodontal diseases,increased resistance by pathogenic bacteria and the threat of opportunistic infections, has renewed the search for alternative and complementary treatment strategies over the years. Ayurveda the ancient system of healthcare mentions a large number of herbal plants beneficial in the management of periodontal infections. The nature derivedphyto-chemicals that are isolated from plants are considered to be better alternatives to synthetic chemotherapeutic agents. The herbs and medicinal plants in the medica (Ayurvedic material) have been proven not only to be safe and useful but with very minimal side effects. This paper attempts to study the various herbal medicinal plants that possess antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, astringent, antiseptic and analgesic properties which can be used efficaciously for the prevention and management of the gingival and periodontal diseases with minimal adverse reactions. Hence an integration of modern oral hygiene practices with the ancient traditional ayurvedic herbs in the various gingival and periodontal diseases can provide safe, affordable and economic treatment options to patients in general and to the low socio-economic group.

Abstract

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxy tryptamine) is a substance secreted by different organs in vertebrates. Adding up to in performance a part in the circadian cycle of the body, melatonin also plays a significant role as an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-modulatoryspecial effects on human tissues. Melatonin has been playing a very significant role in the dentistry in various roles. Apart from this melatonin also plays a very powerful and a significant role in Oral implant dentistry.Furthermore,melatonin has been observed to improve osseointegration and bone regeneration. Topical management of melatonin has a helpful effect on periodontal health and osseointegration and also promotes the curing of tooth extractionsockets by impeding the progression of resorption of bone. It also helps in suppressing the peri-implant microflora too. Melatonin positive regulation of bone formation and homeostasis, in combinationwith the inhibitory effects on bone resorption, highlights the potential use of melatonin as a marker of periodontal and periimplant bone-related diseases. Hence this review is to critically evaluateand summarize the effects of melatonin in the bone metabolism, bone repair and healing till the osseointegration in the field of Implant dentistry.
