Certain objects leave impressions that may emulate the human dentition leading to misinterpretation as bite marks. Bite marks are highly reliable in forensic odontology, and it is pivotal to record this evidence. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the dimensional accuracy of medium body polyether in the analysis of simulated pattern injury on human skin and to compare the accuracy of manual docking method and computer-based method. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five subjects were included in the study and a pattern simulating a bite mark or an injury was produced on the flexor aspect of the forearm of the subjects using a vice grip. The impression of the pattern was made using polyether of medium body, and positive replicas were made, from which accuracy was compared using manual docking and computer-generated overlays method. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 20. Descriptive analysis was done to determine the percentage of accuracy and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test was carried out to compare the accuracy of manual docking and computer-based method. Results: There was 32% excellent accuracy in manual method and 60% excellent accuracy in the computer-based method. On comparing the two methods, computer-generated overlay method was more accurate with a significant statistical difference (P = 0.04). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that polyether can be used as an alternative impression material in analyzing pattern injuries.","PeriodicalId":136105,"journal":{"name":"Universal Research Journal of Dentistry","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131381320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: 1) To analyse whether work strain is related to nicotine dependence among working individuals who attend outpatient department of the dental college. 2) To analyse if the type of tobacco is related to work stress. Methods: 378 tobacco users attending the dental college for their routine oral health related problems were recruited in the study. Data was collected using Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). To know the level of dependency and the extent of the stress factors was assessed using the short form of Effort-Reward Imbalance questionnaire. Results: Among the study individuals 56.3% had moderately dependence on smoking, 51.7% were highly dependent smokeless form on tobacco respectively. An overall comparison of FTND scale for smoking and smokeless form to that of the 3 groups of low, moderate and highly stressed ER individuals showed that there was a significant association between dependency of smokeless form of tobacco and occupational stress of the individual. Conclusion: There was a association between smokeless form of tobacco and the level of stress experience by the working individuals.","PeriodicalId":136105,"journal":{"name":"Universal Research Journal of Dentistry","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129286454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OSMF is etiologically related to chewing of Areca nut (betel nut) and its commercial products, a habit prevalent in India and Southeast Asia. The increased prevalence of OSMF in the last two decades or so corresponds to the increased processing and commercialization of Areca nut products. This review aims to provide insight into the production of raw Areca nut, the chemical constituents, and its various processed forms. Importantly, the role of specific constituents in the pathogenesis of OSMF is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":136105,"journal":{"name":"Universal Research Journal of Dentistry","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124493440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This report presents a clinical case of a 13-year-old male patient, reported to the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics with an avulsed permanent maxillary central incisor with open apex and extraoral dry time of more than 60 min. Treatment comprised extraoral apexification and root canal treatment, followed by replantation and splinting for 2 weeks. Delayed replantation of avulsed teeth with open apex is considered a suitable therapeutic option using contemporary calcium silicate cement.","PeriodicalId":136105,"journal":{"name":"Universal Research Journal of Dentistry","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116262023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
