These are used as a medication for the diagnosis, prevention, control or for treatment of a disease. Drugs effects depend on various factors such as body size, general health of individual, amount and strength of medication and whether one drug is taken or two are taken at same time. Dentists also use certain medications for management of some health conditions which affect oral cavity. Medications used in dentistry may be used for management of pain, prevention of diseases or fight against infections. These can also be used before or after any dental procedure to reduce pain or discomfort and also to prevent complications associated with dental procedure. These drugs may also develop variable adverse effects such as headache, skin rashes, nausea, sweating, lack of appetite etc depending on type, and dose of drug taken. Medications used in dentistry include anaesthetics, pain killers, antibiotics, antiviral drugs and antifungal etc. This paper provides an insight to the various medications, their role in dentistry & how they can help a dentist.","PeriodicalId":379783,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Dental Panacea","volume":"217 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138997040","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}

Pre-treatment digital lateral cephalograms of forty patients were taken in natural head position obtained. The sagittal jaw relation was determined with assessment of the following parameters: SNA, SNB, ANB, Wit’s appraisal, condylion to Point A, condylion to gnathion, angle of convexity and facial angle (Steiner’s, Down’s, McNamara and Wits Appraisal). The Dermatoglyphic of patients were taken with the help of Cummins and Midlo method. The fingerprints were recorded using the ink stamp method. The dried distal phalanges of both hands were rolled on an ink pad and stamped on paper which was fixed in place with adhesive tape. The prints obtained were assessed for the frequency of arches, loops and whorls. The dermatoglyphic results that were noted among the 4 groups showed a significant 38% of Arch pattern prevalent in the Class I subjects, 61% of Whorl pattern in Class II subjects, 67% of Loop pattern in Class III subjects and 71% of Loop pattern in Cleft subjects. The percentage distribution of the Dermatoglyphic patterns within the three groups of sagittal skeletal discrepancies and clefts for the 10 fingers (N=40) were evaluated for their significant association based on Fisher’s exact test. Furthermore, Chi-square test indicated a statistically significant (p<0.001) association between the dermatoglyphic patterns and sagittal skeletal discrepancies and clefts, more than 54% of Class I subjects showed a positive correlation with Arch pattern, 33 % of Class III subjects and 35% of Cleft subjects indicated Loop pattern prevalence, whereas 46% of the Class II subjects showed a high tendency for the Whorl pattern.No significant type of Dermatoglyphic pattern in Skeletal Class I malocclusions. There was increased frequency of Whorl pattern in Skeletal Class II malocclusions and increased frequency of Loop pattern in Skeletal Class III malocclusions and clefts. The patients with the oral clefts generally don’t have the proper maxillary development due to which they have the tendency towards the development of Skeletal Class III malocclusion, so presence of loop pattern in Class III malocclusion and oral clefts was seen.","PeriodicalId":379783,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Dental Panacea","volume":"42 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138995999","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}

To this previous concept of extracting the complete tooth even if only the mesial or distal part is affected, came the present concept of removal of only the diseased part of the tooth under specific conditions.

Trauma is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children. Although less, maxillofacial fractures contribute to an important part of morbidity in children.: Nineteen children with facial trauma (range 6-16 years of age) were treated in a rural medical college in Tamil Nadu, India. Mostly they were soft tissue injuries out of whom nine patients were with bony injuries. The mean study time is 10.4 months; however, the maximum follow-up is 3 years. Most of the injuries were treated conservatively, MMF and Splints, however ORIF with plate and screws were done in four cases. Soft tissue injuries are more common than bony injuries in children. Parents were very anxious and patients were not cooperative and convincing them for treatment of these fractures was difficult. This is because of illiteracy and poor socio-economic status in rural areas. ORIF was done with minimal periosteal stripping. Children tolerate MMF poorly and to our surprise, these patients tolerate ORIF with plates and screws better. Orthodontic hard stainless-steel wires were also used in a few cases to minimize surgical procedures. We were not able to use absorbable plates because of cost factor. Facial injuries with fractures of facial bones in children are uncommon but occur more frequently in major trauma like motor vehicle accidents and sports-related injuries. The greater osteogenic potential and faster healing rate in children help us to treat with conservative therapeutic procedures and with minimal displacement of fractures.","PeriodicalId":379783,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Dental Panacea","volume":"2 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139000388","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}

The primary objectives were to understand the burden of OSA and explore the potential role of orthodontic interventions in managing this condition. The study employed a cross-sectional design, including a sample of 48 adults and 46 children from various geographical areas in Chennai. Craniofacial morphology assessments and validated questionnaires (Berlin Questionnaire for adults, Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire for children) were utilized for OSA risk assessment. Participants were screened for risk factors and symptoms, and their awareness of OSA and willingness to pursue orthodontic treatment were evaluated. Ethical guidelines were adhered to, and data were collected through standardized forms and electronic databases.Among the surveyed adults, 85.7% were identified as loud snorers, and significant proportions experienced daytime fatigue (53.6%) and choking during sleep (46.4%). Findings also revealed disrupted sleep patterns in 57.1% of adults, with 32.1% seeking medical consultation. Notably, 25% were aware of OSA, and none were familiar with orthodontic treatments. However, 53.6% expressed willingness to undergo orthodontic appliance treatment. In the pediatric population, 31% of children were loud snorers, and 34.5% experienced tiredness at school. While 17.2% of parents were familiar with OSA, only 3.3% knew about orthodontic treatments. Nevertheless, 34.5% expressed a willingness to pursue orthodontic appliance treatment for their children. The study reveals a significant prevalence of OSA symptoms in both adults and children. Despite a high prevalence of symptoms, awareness of OSA and knowledge about orthodontic treatment options are notably low. Overall, enhancing public understanding of OSA and its treatment options can pave the way for more diverse and effective interventions.","PeriodicalId":379783,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Dental Panacea","volume":"96 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139000404","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}
