The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) defines special care needs as “any physical, developmental, mental, sensory, behavioral, cognitive or emotional impairment that requires medical management, health care intervention and/or use of specialized services or programs. The condition may be congenital, developmental or acquired through disease, trauma or environmental cause and may impose limitations in performing daily self-maintenance activities or substantial limitations in a major life activity”.[1] Special care dentistry works on meeting the dental needs of a wide spectrum of specially abled patients who may be medically compromised, those with learning and physical disabilities, mentally challenged, pregnant, geriatric, anxious and petrified patients and referrals from head and neck oncology who are under radiotherapy, chemotherapeutic drugs for management of head and neck carcinomas. Hence it is very important for the dentists to have a thorough knowledge and undergo additional training for managing these patients during dental treatment. Cardio vascular disorders comprise of a group of diseases of the heart and vascular system. It has been reported in literatures that sometimes dental professionals play a key role in diagnosing various cardiovascular pathologies during routine dental examination. In this article, a review on the dental management of special care patients and an emphasis on the dental treatment protocol for patients with cardiovascular diseases through a decision tree analysis has been done.Keywords

Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) is an uncommon idiopathic, systemic inflammatory disease which is characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and pauci-immune small vessel vasculitis of the kidneys and respiratory tract resulting in significant tissue destruction. The clinical features are generally non-specific thereby posing a diagnostic challenge. Oralmanifestations of the disease are rare and again nonspecific. Oral ulceration and gingivalenlargement is often seen. Though some authors suggest a ‘strawberry’ like gingivitis to be acharacteristic sign of WG, it is not consistently seen in all cases. Histopathological evaluation of the lesion showing granulomatous inflammation may not be pathognomonic but helps inexclusion of other diseases but in conjunction with a positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) test confirms the diagnosis. The disease is not curable and hencetreatment is aimed at inducing and sustaining remission. Glucocorticoids with other immunosuppressants are the most accepted form of therapy.Keywords

Aim: The aim of the study is to retrospectively analyse the condylar morphological variations using digital panoramic radiographs.
Background: Digital panoramic radiographs are commonly utilised by dentist to visualise the teeth, maxilla, mandible and the surrounding structures. OPGs are cost effective and are also relatively low in radiation exposure to the patients. Human mandibular condyle may be classified into four types basically as oval, diamond, bird beak and crooked finger. Variations in the condylar morphology may occur due to developmental variations, trauma, endocrine disturbances and radiation therapy.
Materials and Method: This study comprised of radiographic evaluation of 200 condyle after including 100 digital panoramic radiographs retrospectively taken for routine investigation. The radiographs included in the study comprised of 50 male and 50 female. Human condyles were classified based on Chaudhry et al into 4 types. Most commonly occurring shape in males and females were evaluated.
Results: Of the 100 pairs of mandibular condyle evaluated 58.5% were oval in shape, followed by 21% were bird beak in shape, 9% were diamond in shape, 14% were crooked finger in shape. When evaluated whether there is any symmetry between the two sides oval-oval was the commonly occurring combination with 90 pairs showing symmetry and 10 pairs were asymmetrical.

Aim: The study is aimed to assess the dental caries status in patients visiting the Department of Oral Medicine, Radiology and Special Care dentistry in Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals using Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment Index (CAST).
Background: A new epidemiological index is introduced for assessment of dental caries which is known as Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment (CAST). Spectrum is considered as backbone of this index which covers the entire carious lesion progression from no caries to caries involving enamel, dentin and pulp. It also includes codes for teeth that has developed an abscess/fistula in relation to carious teeth and teeth lost due to dental caries.
Materials and Method: The study population was patients visiting the Department of Oral Medicine, Radiology and Special Care Dentistry in Saveetha Dental College during the month of January 2019.The patients who were aged between 20-50 were included randomly and all third molars, any developmental dental anomalies and those undergoing orthodontic treatment were excluded. The patient’s dental caries status was examined using mouth mirror, periodontal probe under proper illumination and was recorded in a predesigned proforma.
Results: From the study we find that 82.64% were caries free, 2.57% had restorations, 1.35% had enamel caries which gives us the information that 86.56 % can be considered healthy (caries free). The lesion involving the dentin were 2.13% and pulp were 5.78%, which leads us that about 7.91% are caries affected. The advanced stage of carious lesion which is abscess or fistula were 0.92% and the teeth lost due to dental caries was 3%.
Conclusion: Our study concludes the CAST index presents a simple hierarchical structure of carious lesion spectrum and is a promising index for epidemiological studies with complex quantifiability.
