Epidemiological studies show that the risk of developing oral cancer is five to nine times greater for smokers than for nonsmokers, and this risk may increase to as much as 17 times greater for extremely heavy smokers of 80 or more cigarettes per day.1 As an oral diagnostician, we come across day to day at least one lesion which is habit associated, it might be either smoking, smokeless tobacoo or gutka or pan chewing. In spite of educating the patients about the ill effects of all this deleterious habits, patient won’t quit the habits. So it is important for us find some alternative method to motivate and help the patient to stop habits. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is one of the methods to quit the habit of smoking. This term is heard long time back but still we feel personally, the most of the general dentists are unaware about NRT and its dosing. We have tried to briefly enlighten about the NRT, its mechanism, various modes and its dosages which might guide the general dentists to use NRT regularly in their private practice and thereby prevent the transformation of premalignant lesions into oral carcinoma.

It originates from the subcortical auditory pathways that do not passively transmit sound signals, but instead regulate their intensity automatically (central auditory gain) and process the evoked neural activity.4 According to various case studies, the rate of tinnitus varies from 6 to 30% of the general population.5,6 Most people with tinnitus present a natural history characterized by habituation and tolerance to the “disorder”. Nevertheless, in 1% of these cases, tinnitus becomes a disabling condition, based on the level of activation of the limbic and autonomic nervous systems, and requires treatment. The theory of the involvement of the limbic and autonomic nervous systems in tinnitus can be attributed to PJ Jastrebov,2 who devised the neurophysiological model of tinnitus and the ensuing treatment strategy: tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), which can ameliorate symptoms in more than 80% of cases.7,8 The aim of this longitudinal study was to explore whether a newer device based on TRT will be effective in providing relief in patients with both recent onset and persistent tinnitus due to multiple etiologies.","PeriodicalId":316775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Otolaryngology-ENT Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129477593","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}

Careful clinical evaluation of Class III malocclusion always requires checking anterior and posterior dental relationships with the mandible in centric relation.1Anterior crossbite and reversed over jet are constantly present due to the anterior mandibular displacement. Usually, the soft tissues tend to camouflage the skeletal discrepancy and the patient’s profile appears normal or slightly concave in centric occlusion. Different aetiological factors have been suggested in pseudo-Class III malocclusion.2 The patient had functional class III malocclusion and facial asymmetry, orthognathic surgery combined with orthodontic treatment may be the better choice. But the patient refused the surgery. Before the orthodontic treatment was performed, differentially diagnosing a facial asymmetry case by dental/functional/skeletal is very crucial.3–7 Sometimes a case may combine two or more. For instance, this case showed both functional and skeletal problems.It was important to locate functional interferencein a facial asymmetrycase. Sometimes a functional wax bite was helpful. This case showed possibility of functional interference around the anterior teeth. With ISW (developed by the Tokyo Medical and Dental University) curve technique and class III intermaxillary elastics (IME), functional interference was relieved. ISW MEAW was used not only for space creation, it can further upright the second molar due to its distal tipping effect.8–12 Finally, when using ISW MEAW on the upper arch and Class IIintermaxillary elastics (IME) was also performed, the control of excess over jet resulting from the upper anterior leveling can be achieved. MEAW on the upper arch and Class II intermaxillary elastics (IME) can bilaterally tip and intrude from canines to second molars so as to gain extra space for anterior retraction and to facilitate canine relationship. Moreover, “MEAW” can efficiently prevent profile from deteriorating.","PeriodicalId":316775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Otolaryngology-ENT Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129168644","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}
