The primary factor for maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality is thought to be periodontitis. Gynecologists have a crucial role in educating their patients about the need of keeping good dental health because it can improve the success of pregnancies and reduce mouth pain. Objective: The objective of this study was to understand the awareness of gynecologists practicing in Pune, Maharashtra, about periodontal status and its outcome in pregnant women. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire-based study was conducted on 60 gynecologists. We evaluated people's knowledge of the negative effects of female sex hormones on periodontal health. Results: Eighty percent were aware of the correlation between periodontal health and female sex hormones. 56.7% agreed that periodontal microorganisms can pass through the placenta and harm the fetus. 76.7% were unaware that the possibility of prenatal growth restriction has increased. Most participants did not motivate pregnant women for an oral health checkup. Conclusion: It can be inferred that gynecologists are not aware of the connection between mouth findings and worse pregnancy outcomes.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"279 - 285"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44648673","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}

Due to its limitations when used systemically, local application in the subgingival zone is encouraged. The local concentration of the drug can be maximized further by optimizing its delivery vehicle. Aim and Objectives: The aim was to compare and assess the efficacy of novel drug formulation containing tetracycline microparticles with commercially available tetracycline fibers as local drug delivery agents in patients with chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: A total of 10 patients in the age group of 23–53 years with chronic periodontitis were selected. Patients having isolated periodontal pockets with probing pocket depth (PPD) >5 mm were selected. They were randomized into Group A (scaling and root planning [SRP] + tetracycline microparticles) and Group B (SRP + tetracycline fibers). Clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at 0 and 90 days. The data obtained were consolidated and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: Both the groups confirmed statistically significant improvement in all the clinical parameters. Results of the study showed enhanced CAL gain in Group A compared to Group B. Conclusion: The novel drug formulation is equally efficacious to the commercially available formulation, with decreased manufacturing cost and greater drug availability. Nevertheless, more clinical trials are necessary to study the long-term results.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"299 - 303"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48671577","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}

Having children with CLPD can be a source of parental psychological distress (PPD). Stress experienced by parents may affect the development of a child. This study was designed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with PPD among parents having children with cleft lip and palate attending a major dental hospital in Sri Lanka. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted in cleft lip and palate clinics of Dental Hospital, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. PPD was assessed using the General Health Questionnaire-30. Site of cleft and associated disabilities were recorded on data recording form using clinical records of the children. Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: Out of 384 parents who accompanied their children to the clinic, 62.5% were mothers. The most common cleft site of the patients was cleft involving lip and palate (32.3%) and the least common site was isolated cleft of the soft palate (8.3%). The most common disability reported was speech problems (41.4%). The prevalence of PPD was 34%. Chi-square statistics showed that PPD was significantly associated with age of the child (P < 0.000), family income (P = 0.011), family structure (P < 0.000), previous knowledge on CLPD (P = 0.045), site of the cleft (P < 0.000), and disabilities associated with particular cleft (P < 0.000). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age of the child, family structure, cleft of the hard and soft palate, feeding difficulties, and speech problems were significant predictors for PPD. Conclusion: PPD is an important factor to consider in managing children having CLPD. This finding provides valuable information for the provision of multidisciplinary approach to manage PPD.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"291 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47832012","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}

Vitamin D has a definite influence on metabolism of bone and dental tissues. VDD causes a variety of bone deformities clinically represented as rickets and dental defects such as decreased enamel, dentin mineralization, and altered pulp morphology in children. Therefore, appropriate serum Vitamin D levels are required for the mineralization process of both teeth and bone. VDD may affect the teeth during intrauterine life and show changes in early childhood and may continue throughout life. Enamel, dentin, and pulp changes due to VDD can be diagnosed by clinical, microbiological, or histologic and radiologic examination. Knowledge of VDD-induced dental changes is necessary for early detection and in time corrections of defects produced. This review aims to collate the data available on the deficiency of Vitamin D observed among children and its manifestations affecting enamel, dentin, and pulp. To identify relevant articles, PubMed and Embase databases were searched for terms such as VDD (MesH terms), VDD (all fields), and dental enamel, dentin, and pulp (MesH and all fields).

In spite of the increased awareness of oral hygiene and preventive dental treatments, tooth extraction remains to be the most common procedure in the Indian population following a toothache. The study aims to assess certain demographic characteristics and patterns of tooth loss among patients who underwent extraction from the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery in a dental tertiary care center in Kerala, India. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional survey was conducted during 2017–2021 time period in all the patients who underwent permanent teeth extraction from the oral and maxillofacial surgery department. Results: A total of 9673 patients underwent tooth extraction during the study period. Among them, 68.4% were adults (18–59 years) and 27.7% were senior adults (above 60 years). More than half of the patients underwent single-tooth extraction (55%), two (24%), and three in 10%. The most frequent tooth extraction was the first molar (30%), followed by the third molar (27%) and second molar (26%). Among children, the most common pattern of tooth extraction was first molars both in the maxilla and mandible (25%). In adolescent age groups, premolars were extracted frequently along with first molars. In adults and senior adults, the premolar and molar extractions were performed commonly. Conclusion: The mean tooth loss for the cohort was 1.7 ± 1.1 (range 1–12) indicative of good dental hygiene practice. The trends noticed in teeth extraction pattern provide baseline data about the access and availability of dental care in that region.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"143 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45675769","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}

Thus, agents that have osteogenic potential play a meritorious role in disease prevention. There is evidence, that pharmacological agents such as Alendronate (ALN) and Metformin (MF) have such potential in bone regeneration. Objectives: The main aim of this study was to assess the competency of Xenograft (XG) alone and in combination with 1% ALN and 1% MF in the regeneration of periodontal bone defects. Materials and Methods: In this randomized interventional study, total of 36 infrabony defects were randomly assigned to three groups, each group comprised of 12 infrabony defects: Group I with 1% ALN gel + XG (test), II with 1% MF gel + XG (test) and III with only XG (active control). This was a split-mouth study. Clinical criteria such as pocket depth (PD), relative vertical clinical attachment level (RVCAL) were assessed. A radiographic parameter like linear bone growth (LBG) was measured with the help of a grid. The microbial count (MC) was estimated with the plaque sample. All the specifications were calculated before the beginning of the study and at 6 months. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square and paired t-test. Results: The mean reduction of PD, gain in RVCAL, LBG and MC was statistically significant within the groups (P < 0.05) from baseline to 6 months. However, MC was insignificant in Group III (P = 0.294) within the group but was significant on the intergroup comparison. Conclusions: Overall, significant results were found in all three groups.
