It is important to understand how people perceive the impact of oral disease on their quality of life. Oral health quality of life (OHQoL) is a relatively new but rapidly growing notion. The concept of OHRQoL is particularly significant to three areas- clinical practice of dentistry, dental research and dental education. There are different approaches to measure OHRQoL; the most popular one uses multiple item questionnaires. OHRQoL should be the basis for any oral health programme development. Moreover, research at the conceptual level is needed in countries where OHRQoL has not been previously assessed, including the Eastern Mediterranean countries.Keywords

Evidence from epidemiologic studies suggests that periodontal infections are independently associated with subclinical and clinical atherosclerotic vascular disease (AVD). Entry of oral bacteria and/or bacterial products into the bloodstream is thought to be one of the key initiators of biological events that link oral infections to AVD. Transient bacteremias are common after dental proce¬dures, regardless of periodontal status, occurring frequently after mastication or after personal oral hygiene. The incidence and intensity of these bacteremias correlate positively with the extent and severity of periodontitis. Analysis of limited data from interventional epidemiologic studies suggests that treatment of periodontal infections results in lower levels of systemic inflammation and favorable effects on subclinical markers of atherosclerosis.Keywords

Probiotics literally means 'for life'. They are live microorganisms (in most cases, bacteria) that are similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. They are also called "friendly bacteria" or "good bacteria." Probiotics are available to consumers mainly in the form of dietary supplements and foods. They can be used as complementary and alternative medicine. This review describes current knowledge on probiotics bacteriotheraphy from the general health as well as oral health perspective.Keywords

Aim: To evaluate any possible correlation between gingivitis and alveolar bone loss in multiparity
Material and Method: 50 non-pregnant and 50 pregnant subjects each were subjected to clinical examination for plaque and gingivitis of all the teeth using Loe and Silness index. Roentgenographic examination of maxillary and mandibular central incisors and right and left maxillary and mandibular 1st molars was done at random.
Results: Irrespective of pregnancy or non pregnant state gingivitis and plaque exhibit a strong correlation with time. The level of gingivitis has no effect on the alveolar - bone loss during or after pregnancy.
Conclusion: Gingival changes associated with pregnancy is due to the effects of hormonal changes and even more, so due to multiparity.

Economic evaluation provides a method of systematically comparing the costs and outcomes of alternative health care programmes. It is now used increasingly to provide planning information .Economic evaluation is necessary to produce the best health care and maximum benefit with minimum cost to the community based on available resources. Health economics is a branch of Economics concerned with issues related to scarcity in the allocation of health and health care. A key concept of health economics is the opportunity cost of a programme, which can be described as the value of the resource when it is put to its best alternative use. Therefore, health economics is about resource management -what is affordable and desirable and what is not. As the health of the population will not be improved just by spending more money on health care, the understanding of health economics is essential to properly implement the economic policies for the health care enhancements. Hence, the policy makers and the dental personnel should have adequate knowledge regarding the same for providing better health services.Keywords

Health and education is an important mainstay for all individual in today's world and serves as the basis of economic productivity. The state of the epidemic of tobacco use in India was comprehensively described in the recently completed Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS). Tobacco use in India is more varied than in most countries. India is the world's third largest tobacco-growing country. Anti tobacco counseling is best suited for Indian scenario because it is inexpensive and effective. Dental practice in the 21st century should ideally move from a restorative orientation to one of broader promotion of health and well being and it would be unconscionable not to include aggressive tobacco intervention in that paradigm.Keywords

This paper attempts to elaborate oral health disparities persisting in the Indian population because of web of influences that include complex cultural and social processes. This will affect both oral health&access to effective dental health care. It discusses oral health care services to the general population and how some sections of the population are systematically excluded from oral health care services. This paper gives overview of six strategic areas which will have significant role in making oral health care affordable for all sections of society. Strategies should be made according to unique needs of people&resources that exist in India.Keywords
