Abstract

Palatogingival groove is an anatomic malformation commonly occurring in maxillary lateral incisors. It frequently goes undetected andis often associated with complex Periodontic-endodontic lesions. Palatogingival groove harbour microbial plaque and cause pathological changes thereby resulting in lesions involving the periodonto-pulpal complex. This case report presents a complex perio-endo lesion associated with a palatogingival groove in maxillary lateral incisor which was successfully managed with both endodontic and regenerative periodontal therapy with the use of injectable platelet rich fibrin (iPRF).

Abstract

With technological hindrances decreasing and research turning to development, we are on the threshold of a range of Deep-Learning enabled smart tools for dentistry called Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is machine intelligence demonstrated in contrary to the intelligence of humans/animals. Starting from smart teeth scan while brushing, to smart scheduling, to smart patient communication, it can be used in data computation, as well as cloud computing through which an algorithm can be created which will help in diagnosis and will provide probable treatment options. It will have the major role in every branch of dentistry. Therefore, getting an in-depth knowledge of the various concepts, techniques and technologies involved will help with having a clear advantage in the future when it is time to adapt to the change with redefined roles for a rewarding practice.

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

Oral Verruciform xanthoma (OVX) is a benign mucocutaneous, rare, asymptomatic lesion of unknown etiology and ambiguous nature involving the oral mucous membrane of the middle-aged during the fifth to seventh decadeof life. Clinically it may be presented as a verrucous, polyploid or sessile mass mostly solitary and slow growing in the hard palate,gingival, tongue or buccal mucosa. Colour of the lesion may vary from white, pink or red and there is a slight male predilection. The histopathological features of OVX are however pathognomonic, characterized by the presence of lipid- laden foam cells confined to the papillary areas of connective tissue. The final diagnosis is always histopathological as its clinical features are not distinct and OVX must always be considered in the differential diagnosis of other verrucous and papillary lesions. Treatment of OVX is complete surgical excision with follow up to avoid its recurrence. We present2 cases of oral verruciform Xanthoma, which were provisionally misdiagnosed as pyogenic granuloma and traumatic fibroma respectively based upon their clinical presentation and after a thorough histopathological examination revealed an entirely different diagnosis in both the cases.

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.

Keywords
