Abstract

This report describes the successful orthodontic treatment of two cases of highly placed canine with different clinical situations using segmental T-loop. The objective of this study was to evaluate the modification in T-loop on differently angulated canine. Orthodontic treatment of highly placed canine is justified as its aberrant position may damage the ischolar_mains of adjacent teeth. In addition to it, functional occlusion and esthetic balance are achieved after orthodontic treatment. Malocclusion with severe crowding is difficult to treat without extraction as it compromises the patient's profile. Cases were managed with extraction of both maxillary and mandibular first premolars followed by Canine retraction with 0.017 in. × 0.025 in. TMA wire segmented T-loop spring using 0.022 in. × 0.028 in. (edgewise appliance). Different moments were applied for canine retraction at different axial inclinations. After treatment, satisfactory improvements in facial profile and lip competency with normal overjet and overbite without marked gingival recession and anchorage loss were observed.

Abstract

Flexible spiral wire (FSW) is commonly used as a bonded retainer. Accurate and passive placement of a FSW requires a lot of skill and dexterity. Stabilizing the retainer wire with a plier or finger pressure is very demanding and various auxiliaries like elastics, dental floss and silicone transfer tray aid in securing the retainer in place, however their precision is questionable. We used a simple bonding technique, using a laboratory-prepared Memosil 2, is an accurate, effective, and predictable method for bonding fixed multistranded wire retainer.

Abstract

Oral health disorders are major public health problems globally. There is a vast disparity in access to oral health care between developed and developing world as evident in reports of World Health Organisation (WHO) and Federation Dentaire Internationale (FDI). The oral health goals of WHO, FDI and International Association of Dental Research (IADR) for the year 2020 have brought forth the critical issues prevalent worldwide. India with huge population of 1.21 billion (2011 census) is faced with certain unique issues due to low level of awareness, varied terrain, strained infrastructure, limited access to oral health care and indigenous cultural practices. Research institutes and centrally funded agencies have been working at par with world standards, however, the oral health research has been lacking in terms of quality and addressing of community issues. It was deeply felt that this area requires appropriate summarization and future directions. This has been done in three parts with present paper attempting to address global vision, research orientations and specific burden, past research and future directions related to dental caries in India.

Abstract

Periodontal disease, a cumulative result of neglected oral hygiene, is one of the biggest oral health problem in India. Although the latest researches have paved way to splendid measures for regeneration and rehabilitation, the most feasible strategy is still the prevention at the earliest possible stage of periodontal destruction. Other major areas of neglect and lack of public awareness are geriatric dentistry and patients with special health care needs. This paper attempts to elaborate on the burden, past research and future research directions in less addressed aspects of Periodontal diseases, Geriatric Dentistry and patients with special health care needs.

Abstract

The research directions in oral heath in India have largely been deficient. The poor standard of research and its methodology is of grave concern. The applications of novel technologies and translating the newer researches for the benefit of community’s diagnosis, prevention and treatment needs, must be a priority in years to come. As a part of three paper series, the present paper brings forth the burden, current research and future research directions in the field of malocclusion and dentofacial anomalies in India. Malocclusion effects nearly 45% of adolescents, 1/3 of which require orthodontic care. Although technological advances in material sciences and advanced digital technology has refined the appliances much less attention has been paid on etiology and biological basis of orthodontics. The congenital birth defects of face and other denfofacial deformities also require a deeper understanding of etiology and most appropriate treatment protocol. This Manuscript summarizes current research and proposes future areas of research in this field.

Abstract

Background: E-cigarettes have been perceived as a safer product compared to conventional cigarettes and have often been used for the purpose of cigarette smoking cessation. The aim of this scoping review is to provide a systematic review of the existing literature on the effects of e-cigarettes on human oral health and oral tissues. Methodology: Systematic literature search was undertaken and reviewed independently by two experts in online databases till May 2019. Both human and invitro studies were included. Guidelines of preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) were followed for reporting of the data. Results: A total of 24 studies were included following removal of duplicates, title and abstract screening and; full text screening. E-cigarettes have deleterious effects on the oral cavity tissues comprising of clinical findings of periodontium, gingiva, oral hygiene and micro-organism growth. In addition, there is a threat of serious injuries associated with e-cigarette explosion. In-vitro studies reveal e-cigarette use may lead to oxidative damage, altered morphology, reduced cell viability and cytotoxicity of oral epithelial and fibroblast cells. Conclusions: Though e-cigarettes have been found to be less harmful than the conventional cigarette smoking, there is a need to exercise caution while considering it as a smoking cessation tool. Longitudinal population-based studies are required for analyzing its in-vivo effect on oral tissues.
