Abstract:

Sunlight is the source of energy to us. It forms the root of all food products, solar panel systems and LASERs too. Negroes in the deep Amazon forests are able to remove intracranial tumors under the blazing sun, without any infection. The developing countries are still striving for a clean & sterile operation theatre to perform a perfect neurosurgery. Human kind’s fascination with the properties of light and its applications in medicine can be traced to ancient times. Development in physics at the beginning of the twentieth century laid the foundation for laser theory postulated by Albert Einstein1. LASER is an acronym for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”. It was demonstrated by Maiman for the first time in 1960. Fifty odd years down the lane, it did not receive the importance it should have - in the field of dentistry and healthcare. The reason could be attributed to the fact that the dentist has to relearn things that he/she has already learnt in the dental school to perfection, almost. The cutting of enamel and dentin without the tactile feedback of the diamond bur and the precise cut of soft tissues with a gentle sweep of the laser handpiece instead of the surgical blade – are some of the things that are to be mastered. This presentation tries to introduce the learner to the world of Lasers, their basic properties, interaction with different types of tissues, pumping methods and different types of lasers available for dental use

Abstract:

Introduction: Ridge resorption is the major reason of mandibular complete denture losing its stability and retention. The location of the mental foramen can be identified easily on panoramic radiographs, and radiographic examinations are considered an important component of Prosthodontics diagnostic and treatment planning. Also, the location of maxillary landmark is important to known how much resorption is there. Aim: To determine the average ratio of bone height with nearest constant anatomical landmarks in maxilla and in mandible. OBJECTIVE- To find out the association between radiographic findings & prosthodontics, such as measurements of the amount of resorption and the variation in the treatment planning of edentulous patients. Methods: In this study OPG machine- Kodak C 8000 and Software to calculate the distance- Screen calipers v2.1 is used. 100 patients OPG was taken in this study. Major inclusion parameters included were presence of mandibular premolars and molars, minimal ridge resorption and clear radiographic landmarks visible on the OPG. After which the landmarks and specific structures were marked on the OPG. Then measurement was done for distance ‘c’, ‘a’, ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’. Lastly, the calculations from measurements were done to calculate the ratio of c/a, to calculate the ratio of x/y, to calculate the ratio of x/z. Result: The descriptive statistics was done. The C/a ratio mean is 2.71 ± 0.31. The X/Y ratio mean is 1.49 ± 0.34 and the X/Z ratio mean is 1.51 ± 0.24. Conclusion: This ratio can be assessed in edentulous patients and then their further treatment plan can be decided according to the ratio. The implant placement can be assessed by using the measurements in this study.

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: periodontal disease is one of the most common chronic diseases in humans and is induced by microbial pathogens that reside in the oral cavity. The Toll-like receptor (TLR) family of innate immune recognition receptors plays a fundamental role in the induction of innate immunity, inflammation, cell survival, and proliferation. The presence of TLR4 has been shown to be essential for the progression of inflammation and related to the bone metabolism in periodontitis Pelargonium sidoides DC. root extract (PSRE) demonstrated possibility to exert stimulatory effects on the innate immune system. Purpose of this study: determine the prevalence of polymorphism of TLR4 rs1927911 gene in patients with periodontitis in association with clinical signs of periodontitis and assess the protective effect of Pelargonium sidoides DC root extract (PSRE). Methods: data from 40 patients with periodontitis, treated with PSRE and 20 subjects of the control group were studied. DNA extraction from patients’ peripheral blood leukocytes using commercial DNA extraction kits was performed. Genotyping using a real-time polymerase chain reaction method was done. Statistical data analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics program was done. Results: the frequency of TLR4 rs1927911 (C/T) genotypes and alleles in patients with periodontitis and control group subjects was evaluated. Patients with periodontitis: 9.1% have TT, 39.4% - TC , 51.5% - CC genotype and 28.8% have T allele and 71.2% C allele; respectively in control group: 6.3%, 36.5% , 57.1%, 24.6% and 75.4%. No statistically significant differences, of all the studied genotype and allele frequencies, between periodontitis and control group were found. The impact of polymorphism of the TLR4 rs1927911 gene, correlation between polymorphism and susceptibility to periodontitis were evaluated and no statistically significant differences were found. Conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference between TLR4, genotypic and allelic frequencies in patients with periodontitis and those in the control group. Continuing of TLR4 gene polymorphism studies by increasing the number of patients with periodontitis would be advisable. It could reveal the significance of genetic and environmental factors for the onset of the disease more. Polymorphisms of TLR 4 gene could be used as molecular markers for the prediction of the disease.

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: Chewing betel nut with or without tobacco is widespread in Indian continent. In Rural area habit of betel nut chewing with or without tobacco started at an early age and is available as a commercial product or prepared manually by pan vendors at affordable cost. Prevalence of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is increasing and leading to an epidemic of oral pre-malignant condition followed by development of oral malignancy in Indian population. Various studies have reported the presence of Aflatoxin B 1 in betel nut (Raisuddin S et al) and also it's hepatotoxic, mutagenic & carcinogenic effect. It has been suggested by various authors that it has severe effects on the liver function, as it causes disruption in the protein synthesis. Aflatoxin is also responsible for defects in RBC cell wall, making it more susceptible for haemolysis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate Serum aflatoxin B1 antibody, Iron & MDA level & formulate herbal treatment protocol for OSMF. Methodology: Purposive samples of OSMF were included in the study population for estimation of serum aflatoxin B1 antibody; Iron & MDA Level & these sufferers were treated with whole extract of Haridra (Turmeric). Findings: Serum aflatoxin, iron & MDA levels were increased in OSMF compared with healthy controls. Treatment with Haridra extract showed significant improvement in OSMF cases. Conclusion & Significance: Understanding of etiopathogenesis, epidemiology with clinical presentation and evidence based support from molecular and cellular pathway of disease Haridra is the favorable Ayurvedic remedy for the treatment of OSMF & prevention of malignant transformation.

Abstract:

Background and Aim: Excessive gingival display can be managed by a variety of treatment modalities, depending on the specific diagnosis. Lip repositioning surgery is a largely unknown and underutilized treatment modality for excessive gingival display. Aim of the present study was to minimize gingival display with a lip reposition procedure. Method and Materials: A total of two patients with gummy smile were selected for the study. This case report demonstrates the successful management of excessive gingival display with a lip-repositioning procedure. This is accomplished by removing a strip of mucosa from the maxillary buccal vestibule, then suturing the lip mucosa to the mucogingival line. This result in a narrower vestibule and restricted muscle pull, thereby reducing gingival display during smiling. Result: After a 3-month follow-up, significant improvement in the amount of gingival exposure and esthetic satisfaction was observed in both cases. Conclusion: The Lip repositioning technique to decrease the amount of gingival display was shown to be more conservative and provided good esthetic outcomes in a 3-month follow-up.

Abstract:

Forensic dentistry dates back to 1977 in which the body of Hitler was identified using dental records and prosthesis. Forensic odontology is the forensic science that deals with dental evidence. Medico legal importance of denture marking systems include-identification of dead when all means have failed, identification of individuals for forensic and other reasons, in cases of mass causalities etc. There are various methods that are used for identification of an individual. These include tattoos, fingerprint, DNA analysis. Dentist can play a vital role in forensic dentistry. The prosthesis fabrication can be coded by various ways and can be a method for identification of individual. Thus, the prosthesis can be invaluable tool in identification of an individual when all other methods fail. There is various requirement for coding of prosthesis like strength must not be hampered, should be efficient, should withstand fire and humidity, should be economical, should be cosmetically acceptable and the mark should be inert. Recent advances for coding of prostheses   include QR coding, bar code, RFID etc. RFID is a wireless use of electromagnetic field to transfer data for identification and tracking purpose. etc. Bar code and QR code are usually used with commercially available products.  The advantage of all this includes it can hold large amount of data, especially in institutions where there are multiple patients. These methods include surface methods and inclusion methods. They are further divided into method used for fixed partial prosthesis and for complete denture prosthesis. This presentation presents a review of different methods used for marking of prosthesis in individuals.

Abstract:

Avulsion is a complete and total displacement of the tooth from its sockets, representing 0.5 to 3 % in permanent dentition (mostly affecting children between 7 and 9) and 7 to 13 % in primary dentition.  An adequate management within the first half hour is most important for the prognosis of the tooth.  The ideal situation is to replant an exarticulated tooth immediately after avulsion because the extraoral time is a determinant factor for treatment success and for a good prognosis.  However, it is not always possible.  The success of replantation depends on a number of factors among which, the type and characteristics of the medium used for temporary storage during the time elapsed between avulsion and replantation plays an essential role.  Recent research has led to the development of storage media that produce conditions that closely resemble the original socket environment with adequate osmolality, pH., nutritional metabolites and glucose and thus create the best possible conditions for storage. Thus, this presentation is an attempt to understand the same.

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. This disease affects more than 10% of the population and is the most common cause of tooth loss worldwide. Periodontitis is caused by bacteria that adhere to and grow on the tooth's surfaces, along with an over-increased immune response against these microorganisms and induced the activation of the molecular cascade of inflammation. Biologically active compounds of Pelargonium sidoides root extract (PSRE) demonstrated possibility to modulate bacterial virulence, stimulate host immune responses and reduced inflammation. Thus, they are coming under considerable scrutiny as potentially new non-aggressive therapeutic agents for managing periodontal infections. The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in molecular markers MMP-3, TIMP-1 in association with clinical signs of periodontitis and assess the protective effect of Pelargonium sidoides root extract (PSRE). Methods: Saliva from 20 heathy persons (control group), 20 periodontitis patients and 20 periodontitis patients, treated with PSRE were collected using Salivette saliva sample collection kit. Samples were centrifuged at 3650 rpm, aliquoted and stored at -80oC until analysis. Amount of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in saliva of periodontitis patients and healthy persons was evaluated using commercial ELISA kits. Results: MMP-3 concentration was significantly higher in saliva of periodontitis patient's group as compared to healthy persons. After treatment with PSRE, MMP-3 level in patient group saliva decreased and returned to control group level. TIMP1 in periodontitis patient's saliva was significantly lower as compared to healthy persons. After treatment with PSRE, TIMP-1 concentration in patients group saliva increased significantly as compared with TIMP-1 concentration in the same group before treatment. Conclusion: Biologically active compounds of Pelargonium sidoides root extract decreased inflammation and protected periodontal tissue.

Abstract:

Problem Statement:  Mandibular condylar fractures are very common. According to current literature management of condylar fractures remains a controversy. Treatment options for mandibular condylar fractures vary from open reduction to closed reduction. Extraoral approaches are complicated due to injury to the facial nerve. And Intraoral approaches can make fracture reduction and fixation difficult. Also, there is a dilemma which is the best surgical approach for condylar fracture. Here I am going to discuss various surgical approaches to condylar fractures. Aim & Objective of this study is to consider various surgical indications, compare the outcome of various surgical approaches & fixation methods of condylar fractures. Methodology: All cases which were diagnosed as condylar & subcondylar fractures in Oral & Maxillofacial surgery department of King George’s Medical University, Lucknow India during the period from April 2010 to May 2018 were studied prospectively. Various surgical approaches were studied. Findings & Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation is best for the management of condylar & subcondylar fractures. The patient was evaluated for pain, swelling, mouth opening, paraesthesia, occlusion, Parotid fistula, Facial nerve Injury, Scarring and early return in function. Modified Tragus Edge Approach is good & has satisfactory aesthetic results

Abstract:

Aesthetics has become a duly matter of concern to the dentist. Changing trends and advancement in materials and technologies for treating dental diseases has made it important to broaden horizons towards dental treatment. In recent evolutionary era patients have become more conscious and demanding related to their esthetics. As patients aesthetic expectations continue to increase, dental teams are challenged to fulfill patient’s desire. Various challenges have to be overcome for achieving this. In sequence of prime importance is the correct treatment plan which should be designed to restore the patient’s dentition to good health with optimal function and esthetics. So, role of prosthodontists has also widened and now it is not just limited to replacement of missing teeth but has also included ways to incorporate esthetic designing termed as smile designing or esthetic designing in dentistry. Smile plays a major role in life of every individual. Smile is a key of confidence & confidence is an important aspect of individual’s personality which makes picture complete. Related to esthetics oral health related quality of life plays a significant role in everyone’s life which represents how much and how patient’s social and personal life gets affected by dental diseases. Many self assessing tools are available to evaluate its impact on esthetics. This poster represents a case of esthetic designing and intervenes its effects on OHRQoL .

Abstract:

Dental erosion is defined as the irreversible loss of dental hard tissues from acids, without the involvement of bacteria. The adequate intervention to dental erosion is prevention followed by management as it is irreversible. The ideal way for management is fluoride treatment as it contributes to remineralization of enamel. However, it is not that ideal. It has been warned that fluorides ability to prevent erosion cannot be presumed. Recent researches have been made to identify protective agents against erosion that eventually increase the Nano hardness of previously eroded enamel and thus, reducing the progression of erosion. This poster is an attempt to present the same.
