Patients underwent scaling and root planing (SRP) in a single visit followed by irrigation with ozone water, chlorhexidine and povidone iodine in. The clinical parameters of Gingival Index (GI), Plaque Index (PI), probing pocket depth (PPD), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) and modified sulcular bleeding index were measured at baseline, at 1 month and at the end of 3 months.All clinical parameters like plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level and modified sulcus bleeding index at baseline, 1 month and after 3 months. Ozone group was found to be superior than chlorhexidine followed by Povidone Iodine in terms of reduction of Plaque Index. However, intergroup comparison for other parameters did showed difference but it was not statistically significant.: It can be concluded that use of ozone can serve as beneficial irrigating solution to treat chronic periodontitis for home care and professional practice. More studies with a larger sample size may be used to evaluate the potential of these irrigating agents.","PeriodicalId":516738,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Oral Health Dentistry","volume":"33 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140507912","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}

We evaluated 2079 pre-treatment study models and clinical records of orthodontic patients from the Department of Orthodontics waiting list. The assessment of malocclusion was measured according to the molar relationship using Angle's classification.The DHC was further used to assess the five malocclusion traits: - missing teeth, overjet, crossbite, displacement of contact point, and overbite, including open bite (MOCDO). The MOCDO score was calculated to determine the orthodontic treatment needed based on the DHC grades 1–5. The data was analysed using SPSS version 28 and the level of significance was set at p≤ 0.05.: The sample consisted of 59.3% (n=1232) females and 40.7% (n= 847) males. The mean age of the study sample was 14 years (SD±2.3) and ranged between 12 to 20 years. Angle's Class I malocclusion was found in 57.7% of the sample, followed by Class II (35.4%) and Class III (6.9%). The orthodontic treatment needs DHC grade were: 53% grade 4 (need for orthodontic treatment), 21% grade 5 (great need for orthodontic treatment), 17% grade 3 (borderline need for orthodontic treatment), 6% grade 2 (little need for orthodontic treatment), and 3% grade 1 (no orthodontic treatment need). A statistically significant difference was found in Angle Class I malocclusion and the DHC grades (p=0.001), as well as MOCDO variables and DHC grades (p=0.001).Angle's Class I malocclusion was the most predominant in our study sample compared to Class II and Class III malocclusions. The DHC of IOTN was successfully used to evaluate the severity of malocclusion with the majority of the sample in Grades 4 and 5, requiring mandatory orthodontic treatment. A high frequency of the occlusal traits included missing teeth, overjet, crossbite, displaced contacts and overbite. The results of our study showed that most patients on the orthodontic waiting list require mandatory orthodontic treatment. Therefore, it is recommended that DHC be used to place patients on the waiting list to prioritise orthodontic treatment.","PeriodicalId":516738,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Oral Health Dentistry","volume":"31 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140508142","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}

There is a lack of epidemiological studies regarding oral health and oral hygiene of hemophilic patient especially in central India. This study therefore, aimed to evaluate the oral hygiene awareness and hygiene practices of patients with hemophilia in Indore district. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 hemophilic patients who were selected via snow ball sampling technique. The patients who were ready to participate voluntarily in the study were included. A study questionnaire in Hindi and English was given to the patients to obtain their knowledge about oral hygiene and dental health awareness.: Thirty hemophilic patients participated in the study with a mean age of 20 ±15 years. All the participants were male. Although hemophilic patients were conscious of oral hygiene, the study found most of them had poor dental practices. The majority of participants (56.67%) reported of using soft-bristled brushes. Only 56.67% of the participants reported cleaning their mouths after meals and having seen gum bleeding. The majority of hemophilia patients (46.15%) reported using Factor VIII, while some also used Tranexamic acid (15.39%).: Oral hygiene is crucial for everyone, but it holds particular importance for individuals with hemophilia.

Dental diagnostic procedures are being streamlined and optimized with the use of artificial intelligence technologies. Machine learning algorithms have demonstrated exceptional competence in the early identification of dental disorders, including cavities, periodontal diseases, and structural abnormalities in teeth, thanks to their extensive training on large datasets of dental pictures. These developments make it easier to intervene quickly, which enhances patient outcomes and lessens the strain on healthcare systems.Furthermore, tailored care and AI-driven treatment planning have become important areas of innovation. AI algorithms assist in the creation of customized treatment plans by analysing patient data, including genetic predispositions and medical histories. The application of AI extends beyond diagnostics and treatment planning to optimize administrative tasks within dental practices. Automated appointment scheduling, billing processes, and electronic health record management systems powered by AI technologies contribute to increased operational efficiency, allowing dental professionals to focus more on patient care.Combining human knowledge with AI skills has the potential to completely change the dental care industry by offering more precise diagnosis, individualized treatment plans, and enhanced patient experiences all around.
