Aim: Racial difference is an important factor in tooth size variability. The present study was thus aimed to assess the applicability of Tanaka and Johnston method for predicting the mesiodistal dimensions of canine and premolars in children of Panchkula, Haryana. Methods: Dental study models of 200 children were analysed to check the applicability of Tanaka and Johnston method of mixed dentition analysis. Results: Differences have been found in the means of actual dimensions of canine&premolars and values derived by regression equation of Tanaka and Johnston by Student's t-test and therefore formulated a new equation. Conclusion: Tooth size differences amongst races are an important variable that must be considered before the formulation of prediction equation. The proposed new prediction equations derived in the present study are possibly more appropriate to be used for mixed dentition analysis in a population of Panchkula, Haryana.Keywords

Introduction: Aim: Materials and methods: Results: Conclusion: Key words: The determination of a tooth-size to arch length discrepancy in mixed dentition requires an accurate prediction of the mesiodistal width of the unerupted permanent teeth. The Moyers mixed dentition space analysis is the non-radiographic method for detecting tooth-size arch length discrepancies. Moyers analysis was developed for North American children. Anthropological studies reveal that tooth size varies among different races and ethnicities. Aim:The present study was aimed to determine the applicability of Moyers mixed dentition arch analysis in children of Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. Materials and methods: Dental study models of 120 children in age group of 13- 16 years, were analysed who presented with complete eruption of permanent mandibular incisors, maxillary and mandibular canines&premolars. All dentitions were required to be free of any signs of dental pathology or anomalies. Measurements of the mesiodistal dimensions of the mandibular and maxillary teeth were made using a digital caliper with a Vernier scale that was calibrated to the nearest 0.01mm. The values were then subjected to statistical analysis. All tooth groups showed highly significant differences (p<0.001) between mesiodistal widths in male and female subjects. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found between actual widths and the Moyers tables at almost all percentile levels, including the recommended 75%. Conclusion:The differences noted between predicted values from the Moyers tables and that of the present investigation might be the result of racial and ethnic diversity.Keywords

In this paper, the current knowledge about Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is presented. MIH is defined as hypomineralization of systemic origin of one to four permanent first molars frequently associated with affected incisors and these molars are related to major clinical problems in severe cases. The prevalence of MIH in the different studies ranges from 3.6-25 % and seems to differ in certain regions and birth cohorts. Several aetiological factors (for example, frequent childhood diseases) are mentioned as the cause of the defect. Children at risk should be monitored very carefully during the period of eruption of their first permanent molars. Treatment planning should consider the long-term prognosis of these teeth.Keywords

Ectodermal dysplasia are rare hereditary disorders characterized by abnormal development of certain tissues and structures of ectodermal origin. Children affected need multidisciplinary approach and a removable prosthesis is recommended in initial years of life to prevent bone resorption, improve esthetics, mastication and speech apart from boosting self image. Implants are recommended only once the growth is complete. This case reports hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with partial anodontia in a 3 year old child, rehabilitated with partial denture in maxillary and complete denture in mandibular arch.Keywords

Aim and objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcome of MTA as a pulpotomy agent in permanent teeth as an alternative to conventional ischolar_main canal treatment.
Materials and Methods: Ten permanent teeth with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis with vital pulp were selected for the study. MTA Pulpotomy procedure was done in all the cases using standard protocol. Teeth were evaluated for various clinical and radiographic parameters at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of follow up.
Results: None of the patients reported any kind of clinical discomfort or radiographic abnormality during the follow up period of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. All the teeth responded positive on electric pulp test at all successive follow ups.
Conclusions: MTA Pulpotomy may be used as an alternative treatment modality to ischolar_main canal treatment in permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis, if future research continues to show promising results.

- Quantitative Correlation of Salivary Streptococcus mutans Count Amongst Siblings and Their Mothers
Abstract Views :593 |
PDF Views:109
Materials and Methods: Quantitative analysis of S. Mutans in saliva was performed using Dentocult SM strip mutans kit (Orion Diagnostica, Helsinki, Finland) in closely related members of the family i.e. siblings along with their mothers.
Results: S. Mutans count between the siblings showed positive correlation which was statistically highly significant. The younger childrens' S. Mutans count was very highly correlated (r = 0.711) with the mothers' as compared to that of the older s children (r = 0.412). The S. Mutans count was found to be associated with caries score and was statistically s significant. A statistically highly significant positive association was also found with the plaque score.
Conclusion: The correlation between the S. Mutans count of related individuals has been reaffirmed. S. Mutans is positively associated with dental caries.
