Accompanied with primary biliary cholangitis, these syndromes have a limited presence within oral related cases as shown by literary searches. This is one of the few cases reported demonstrating Sjogren’s Syndrome and primary biliary cholangitis displaying paresthesia in the oral cavity, dysphagia, and ascites. Sjogren’s Syndrome and primary biliary cholangitis are two complex and chronic autoimmune diseases that can coexist and can present in a variety of ways. Sjogren’s syndrome has a major effect on exocrine glands, such as the salivary gland. This will consequently result in oral dryness that can cause dysphagia. Sjogren’s syndrome has multiple forms, being primary and secondary. Secondary Sjogren’s Syndrome is when patient has previously been diagnosed with another autoimmune disease presenting before the diagnosis of Sjogren’s. In rare cases patients with Sjogren’s Syndrome may develop primary biliary cholangitis. We report a case of primary biliary cholangitis and Sjogren’s Syndrome, presenting with paresthesia of the perioral region and dysphagia. After thorough literature searches, there proves to be very few similar cases in the dental literature [1,2].","PeriodicalId":361768,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126123336","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}

Materials and method s: A PubMed search was conducted to acquire the articles which were published between 1st Jan 2000 to 31st July 2019. The topic related to the clinical outcome for root analog zirconia implants. Different combinations of the keywords “dent*, impel*, root, tooth, zirconia, shaped, analog and analogue” were searched. Results: An initial 284 publications with abstracts were collected. Finally, seven articles meeting our inclusion and exclusion criteria and were selected for full text analysis in this review. This review was able to identify two immediate RAZI hybrid implant studies and five immediate delayed studies on full zirconia RAZIs. Single-rooted as well as two-rooted molar RAZIs were described. All successfully osseointegrated RAZIs had promising primary stability as a precondition. Radiological analysis showed no significant changes of the marginal bone. The representative overall implant survival rate was 91.30 %. Implants with only sand-blasted surface modification failed. Conclusion: From the seven studies showing relative promising data that the individual custom milled RAZI is a predictable and successful method for immediate teeth replacement. In the future, more studies and long term clinical observational data need to be conducted to prove that this novel approach is feasible safe treatment for patients.","PeriodicalId":361768,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133523562","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 &Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice among graduate dentists in dental clinics with regard to periodontal health assessment and plaque control practices in patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional multi-centre, close-ended questionnaire -based survey collected data by convenience sampling from 400 graduate dentists with minimum of 5 years of dental practice in Mumbai, India. 392 responses met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. A well-structured 20-item questionnaire was prepared and validated. The questionnaire included questions pertaining to assessment of knowledge, attitude and oral hygiene practices among dentists with respect to periodontal health assessment and plaque control in dental clinics in Mumbai. Results: Our questionnaire-based survey revealed that there was general consensus among the dentists about plaque control measures like tooth-brushing/interdental cleansing aids and recall visits for patients. However there were diversity and ambiguity in responses among dentists about periodontal assessment by perio charting, the use of mouthwashes, brushing techniques, gum paints and periodontal maintenance in implant patients. Conclusion: There was positive attitude and awareness among dentists in this survey about the assessment of periodontal health, plaque control measures and patient education in dental practice. However, instilling the knowledge of the correct oral hygiene practices is the need of the hour and needs to be implemented at the undergraduate level. The results of this present study re-enforces the belief that the knowledge and attitude of the general dentists towards oral hygiene practices are of paramount importance and ultimately translate into optimum patient care.

The search terms used in PubMed and Google Scholar scans were “dental implant”, “head and neck cancer”, “hyperbaric oxygen therapy” and “radiotherapy”. The title and summary are screened for the selection of dental implant studies in patients who have had HNC. Clinical human studies, on irradiated dental implant patients, including randomized controlled trials, prospective controlled trials, and retrospective studies were included in the study. In the literature searches, 29 articles were found and 7 articles that meet the inclusion criteria were included. Prosthetic dental implants have gained importance in the treatment of patients with HNC. In cases where conventional prosthetic treatments are insufficient, dental implants increase retention and stability of dentures. In this way, dental implants enable more effective treatments that increase the quality of life. Currently, there is no consensus on the effect of HBOT on osseointegration and implant survival in cancer patients who receive radiotherapy. When the current limited number of studies are evaluated, it can be seen that HBOT may not provide significant clinical benefit in HNC patients treated with radiotherapy. However, it should be taken into consideration that there are not enough studies on this subject in the literature. Therefore, there is a need for randomized, controlled, double-blind trials with homogeneous patient distribution, longer follow-up, supporting HBOT use after RT.","PeriodicalId":361768,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125888906","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 work is to present the development and presentations of giant cell granuloma in hyperparathyroidism. Case presentation: The current study presented two cases of primary hyperparathyroidism that were discovered during a screening program out of 120 patients. These patients were clinically examined. There examination revealed a painless left mandibular swelling in one case and painful in the other which was diagnosed as periodontal abscess in one patient that was excluded from this study. Conclusion: Hyperparathyroidism may be suspected when mandibular swelling is detected; the most effective therapy must be surgical excision with the control of the parathyroid level.","PeriodicalId":361768,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130337622","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}
