Materials and Methods: A total of 24 participants with a clinical diagnosis of halitosis and stage II grade B periodontitis were divided into two groups. Scaling and root planing (SRP) plus aPDT was given to one group of 12 patients (group I), while SRP alone was performed in another. aPDT was performed using a 660 nm diode laser, in continuous contact mode. Clinical parameters such as halitosis score, plaque index, and probing depth were measured. Subgingival plaque samples were collected on 0, 3rd, 7th, and 14th day after treatment for microbiological analysis of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Treponema denticola using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Both groups have shown improvements in all clinical parameters, and statistically significant results were observed in group I compared with group II with a P < 0.05 from 0 day to 14 days. Conclusion: Within the scope of this study, the results have shown improvement in halitosis from a single sitting of aPDT, for a shorter duration and it can be recommended as adjunctive management for halitosis in patients with periodontal pockets.","PeriodicalId":484214,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral health sciences","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135441936","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}

A 73-year-old male patient with rapid gingival enlargement was referred to hematology clinics for further diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Gingival enlargement caused by AML-M5 was determined based on peripheral blood smear and blood parameters, and the patient was instructed to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinse with 0.2% chlorhexidine to maintain good oral hygiene. Gingival enlargement is common in AML, and dental professionals need to be aware of how systemic diseases present clinically. Early detection of oral/periodontal findings can lead to targeted chemotherapy and supportive care for leukemic patients. Dentists play a crucial role in diagnosing acute leukemia, as oral lesions are one of the earliest manifestations. To ensure early diagnosis and referral, dental health-care individuals must be knowledgeable about the clinical signs and symptoms of acute leukemia.","PeriodicalId":484214,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral health sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135442165","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}

Methodology: Thirty human maxillary premolars were selected and decoronated. Enamel blocks were obtained from these teeth and subjected to three phases of treatment: bleaching phase, remineralizing phase, and erosive phase. Samples were divided into four groups with 15 samples each. Group I: subjected to erosion without application of bleaching and remineralizing agent, Group II: treatment with 35% carbamide peroxide without application of remineralizing agent, Group III: treatment with 35% carbamide peroxide, followed by application of Remin Pro, and Group IV: treatment with 35% carbamide peroxide followed by application of NovaMin. Initial and final surface microhardness was analyzed using Vickers microhardness. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between control and experimental groups. The percentage of surface hardness loss (%SHL) value was significantly higher in Group II in comparison with the other groups of treatment. However, Group IV and Group III showed the lowest %SHL compared to GI. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this present in vitro study, NovaMin has better-remineralizing potential than Remin Pro and demonstrated increased microhardness of bleached enamel.","PeriodicalId":484214,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral health sciences","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135442167","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}

Trauma due to avulsion accounts for 0.5%–16% of all traumatic dental injuries to permanent dentition. Despite the availability of a variety of therapeutic treatments, including implants and removable partial dentures, these solutions have several drawbacks. Challenges range from poor wear compliance, growth disruption when used on young patients, and the inability to endure strong masticatory stresses. For the replacement of a missing tooth, resin-bonded bridges offer a minimally invasive, practical, cost-effective, and time-saving alternative. Maryland bridge is a type of resin-bonded bridge, the simplest, and most popular due to its micromechanical retention property. However, its disadvantages include esthetically unappealing and dislodgment of the prosthesis. Therefore, modifications may be introduced in the design of the bridge to address these limitations. The present case report illustrates a clinical case of prosthetic rehabilitation in a young patient utilizing modified zirconia-bonded M-bridge in conjunction with additional structural changes and can be considered as highly reliable early rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":484214,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral health sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135442152","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}

Are we ready for this paradigm shift?","authors":"SumanthKumbargere Nagraj","doi":"10.4103/ijohs.ijohs_12_23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/ijohs.ijohs_12_23","url":null,"abstract":"The advancements witnessed in the field of dentistry in the past decade have been colossal. Advances have trickled through every dental discipline such as three-dimensional imaging, digital dentistry, Invisalign and computer-aided prosthesis. This growth in knowledge poses a daunting challenge to academics who struggle to incorporate all these advances into the dental curriculum, so that the fledgling dental professionals are kept abreast with the recent trends. We must, however, consciously be aware of the disease we may inadvertently cause to the curriculum, aptly termed as “Curriculomegaly.”[1] This term simply means “curriculum growing out of proportion.” It is for us to decipher, whether this growth is healthy and beneficial to learning or whether it is pathological, leading to burdened student learning. I reflect on my undergraduate days when we were taught plentiful syndromes such as Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome and Gardner syndrome, made to work with outdated materials such as silicate cement and shellac base plates, and compelled to remember the composition of ancient and obsolete dental materials. If I ask myself “how much of this knowledge did I actually need or utilize in my clinical practice?” The answer would likely be “rarely” or “never.” We cannot blame the teachers as all these concepts are listed in the prescribed dental curriculum. Most often curriculum has been revised (though not regularly) with the objective of including details on recent advances, which is commendable. But somehow, we have forgotten to delete the obsolete information making our students learn outdated concepts such as “congenital syphilis” and the composition of developer and fixer[2] to name a few. The formulation of our dental curriculum is based on the principle that “just in case” a student needs the information; they must know it. This “just in case” curriculum has led to an overload of needless information, which could be devoted to enhancing necessary skills such as effective communication with patients/parents, maintaining dental equipment, and prioritizing teaching of common diseases which affect our community. The need of the hour is a paradigm shift from “just in case” to “just in time” dental education. A “just in time” curriculum would have fewer obsolete topics and less information overload and would allow more time for teachers and students to concentrate on the essential skills of dentistry. Evidently, implementing such changes in the dental curriculum cannot happen overnight, especially in a vast country like India. However, dental academicians can begin by reducing the burden of “just in case” curriculum through less frequent inclusion of such chapters in assessments and modifying teaching schedules to focus on delivering the essential skills necessary for Indian dental practitioners.","PeriodicalId":484214,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral health sciences","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135442160","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 goal of this research was to ascertain the prevalence of recurrences of odontogenic lesions of the jaws and the variables that contribute to their recurrence. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study that investigated the records of the patients histologically diagnosed with jaw lesions at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of our hospital between January 2013 and December 2021. The information retrieved from the records included the age, gender, site of the lesion, the cell of origin of the lesion, type of lesion, histopathological diagnosis, and the number of malignant and recurrent lesions. The potential predictors were age, gender, site of the lesion, cell of origin of lesion, type of lesion, histopathological diagnosis, and malignant or benign. The outcome variable was the recurrence of the lesion. All data were statistically analyzed. Results: Odontogenic lesions were found in 210 of the 513 individuals with jaw lesions in this investigation, representing a prevalence of 40.9%. The participants ranged in age from 7 to 78 years old, with an average age of 35.2 ± 15.0 years. The sex ratio was 1.3, with a male preponderance. The prevalence of odontogenic tumors and cysts was 86.2% and 13.8%, respectively, among the 210 patients with odontogenic lesions. The odontogenic lesion in this study had a recurrence rate of 17.1%. The recurrence of odontogenic lesions differed significantly (P < 0.05) depending on the jaw affected, the odontogenic lesion’s cell of origin, and the histological type of odontogenic lesions. In comparison to the mandible, the maxilla was 3.4 times more likely to have a recurrence and this was statistically significant (P = 0.01). Conclusions: In our analysis, there was a reasonably high prevalence of odontogenic lesions, with a greater recurrence rate in the maxilla than in the mandible. Patients with odontogenic lesions in the maxilla should be treated and monitored long term for optimum treatment outcomes.","PeriodicalId":484214,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral health sciences","volume":"22 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135442163","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}
