However, guidance for PE in research does not exist, the evidence base for practice is limited, and we know relatively little about underpinning values that can impact on PE practice. An explicit statement of values seeks to align all stakeholders on the purpose, practice, and credibility of PE activities. An innovative, flexible, and transparent research environment is valued as essential to developing a trustworthy evidence base with which to underpin future guidance for good PE practice. The recent focus on PE acknowledges that patients have an important role to play in their own health care. This includes reading, understanding and acting on health information (health literacy), working together with clinicians to select appropriate treatments or management options (shared decision-making), and providing feedback on health-care processes and outcomes (quality improvement). This review explores the values that should underpin PE in contemporary public health research to help inform future good practice guidance.","PeriodicalId":360415,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Oral Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117313752","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}

Unfortunately, several reports of endodontically treated teeth failing after placement of this material exist. Objective: The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not dentists have a thorough understanding of the causes of post and core failure. The goal is to evaluate patient outcomes following post coronal restoration procedures, such as post space preparation, post placement, and post final coronal restoration. Methodology: The quantitative methodology has informed a cross-sectional study design. One hundred dentists were chosen at random to fill out the questionnaire, which was then examined statistically. Results: Sodium hypochlorite irrigation, rubber dams, mineral trioxide aggregate management, and follow-up were all mentioned in the findings. Further, it was demonstrated that factors such as tooth size, tooth type, repair time, and repair material all play a role in whether or not a restorative tooth fails. Conclusion: According to the results, the study population had varying degrees of understanding of the post- and core-restorative system. Guidelines should be established to improve restorative practices and expand understanding. Likewise, this aids in avoiding any accidents that could arise as a result of the same causes.","PeriodicalId":360415,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Oral Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129890847","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}

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical application of hydroxyapatite fluoride (HF) and caseinphosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride paste (CPP-ACPF) in bringing about remineralization changes in artificially induced carious lesions of primary teeth using pH cycling and single-sectioning technique. Materials and Methods: Seventy extracted deciduous teeth were divided into two groups: Group A: HF (Remin Pro) n = 35 and Group B: CPP-ACPF (Tooth Mousse Plus®) n = 35. The samples were immersed in demineralizing solution for 96 h followed by pH cycling for 10 days which included cycles of demineralization and remineralization of their respective groups. Results: Intergroup comparison of the change in the mean value after demineralization and remineralization showed statistically highly significant difference as the change in Group A HF was 213.52 ± 113.17 (standard deviation [SD]) as compared to that in Group B (CPP-ACPF) 76 ± 57.22 (SD).

Public dental health is a specialty branch of dentistry, the scope of which in India and other developing and developed countries is compared. In the early 1920s, the developing nations showed less caries, which increased at the end of 20th century. In developed nations, caries prevalence was more at the start of 20th century but reduced at the end of 20th century. This was owing to fluoride use and proper preventive measures. In India, nearly 70% of the population is rural based. Making it accessible for oral health care is the basic need. The scope of public dental health will be primarily prevention based. The aim of this review is to the scope of dental public health (DPH) in India versus other developing and developed countries. Our review concludes that the scope of DPH in India has definitely a wide range. Other developing countries too have to broaden their scope in DPH to cater to huge population. The scope of DPH in developed nations also does not become less as the underprivileged show high prevalence of caries.","PeriodicalId":360415,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Oral Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122416554","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}

It can be intrinsic, extrinsic, or a combination of both. Extrinsic stains are typically caused by tobacco use or by drinking coffee and tea, wine, and pigmented residue from food. This can be removed by regular dental cleaning and brushing the teeth with whitening toothpaste. Intrinsic teeth stains occur most commonly due to exposure of high levels of fluoride, tetracycline antibiotic administration and pulpitis, inherited developmental disorders, and trauma. This can be treated with professional bleaching or at-home chemical teeth-whitening products, porcelain, and composite veneering. Among these procedures, bleaching procedures are more conservative, simple to perform, and less expensive. This case report suggests that in-office bleaching is an effective and conservative method for esthetic correction of tooth discoloration in severe and mild dental fluorosis.","PeriodicalId":360415,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Oral Research","volume":"36 7-8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131759544","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}

Some differences in the characteristics of FIA between both genders have been recognized, yet the impact of these differences on the outcomes of surgery for FIA is still unclear. The present study conducted a gender-specific analysis aiming to assess the characteristics and the outcomes of surgery of FIA in each gender. Methodology: The records of patients with FIA were retrospectively reviewed and the following variables were extracted: patients' demographics, type of FIA, the position of the external opening, the operation performed, the incidence of recurrence, and complications, particularly fecal incontinence (FI). Gender-based analysis of the characters and outcomes of surgery for FIA was performed. Results: When a detailed case study was done, most patients having abscess with fistula were either on long-term medication (prolonged use of antibiotics) or immunocompromised. Out of 11.4% of cases of recurrent fistula, 34% were diabetics and 2.4% were HIV reactive, 18.76% were tubercular. Conclusion: The majority of FIA in males were posterior and high trans-sphincteric, whereas most FIA in females were low and anteriorly based.
