People working in the corporate sector are particularly at high risk of developing stress and its associated disorders. Evaluation of psychological stress can be done by salivary alpha-amylase which has been considered as a biomarker of stress. The present study assess the stress levels of people working in corporate sector and correlate with the salivary alpha-amylase levels and stress-related oral mucosal changes. Statistically significant higher levels of salivary amylase levels were recorded in the study group. The salivary amylase levels were higher in females than in males. There was a positive correlation between stress levels and oral diseases. The commonly encountered stress-associated oral diseases in the study subjects were RAS, Dry mouth, and TMDs. Conclusion This study reiterates the correlation of salivary alpha-amylase and stress. The subjects in the study group demonstrated increased levels of salivary alpha-amylase and stress-associated oral diseases.","PeriodicalId":93742,"journal":{"name":"Dental research and oral health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69345649","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}

Analysis of the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with aid of Dental operating microscope confirmed the presence of four roots for tooth #37. Cleaning and shaping of all canals were performed using ProTaper universal nickel-titanium rotary instruments with copious irrigation of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution and 17% ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA). Obturation was performed using continuous wave compaction of Gutta-percha and AH Plus resin sealer. The tooth was finally temporized with cavit and glass ionomer filling, later the patient was referred to Prosthodontic Department for final coronal seal and restoration. Clinical and radiographic examination of the patient after 2 years revealed complete healing of the periapical lesion.

The canal morphology was confirmed with CBCT and successfully managed. To have a successful treatment outcome, clinical detection of all canals is crucial, primordial awareness of all the anatomical variations which can exist and constitute a formidable challenge in endodontics, but finally team work with advanced diagnostic aid is a corner stone for its accomplishment as management of severely curved canals require advanced equipments and experienced hands.","PeriodicalId":93742,"journal":{"name":"Dental research and oral health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69345562","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 distributions of Young’s modulus were estimated from their bone mineral density distributions. Total six implants were embedded into each of the maxillary models. Finite element analysis of the maxilla models was then performed in order to assess the concentrations of the strain energy density, especially in the vicinity of the embedded implants under the two different loading conditions.Results: In both models, strain energy density was concentrated especially around the right-molar implant, suggesting the outbreak of damage and subsequent absorption of bone tissue in this region. The female model with smaller size and lower bone density exhibited much higher localized concentration of the strain energy density than the male model. Therefore, a modified placement of the right-molar implant was then introduced into the female model and such high concentration was effectively reduced by using the inclined and longer implant.Conclusion: This kind of three-dimensional modeling can clinically be used to predict the optimal implant treatment for each of dental patients.","PeriodicalId":93742,"journal":{"name":"Dental research and oral health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69345368","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}

In such conditions, apicetomy is usually the treatment of choice when conventional endodontic treatment fails. In the present case scenario, a 42 year old male patient reported with pain and pus exudate in upper left anterior region of the jaw since three months who had a history of trauma and RCT in relation to 23 and 24 five months back. The medical history of the patient revealed that he was a chronic hepatitis patient who had undergone treatment for the same a year ago. A physician was consulted and an interdisciplinary approach was planned. Apicetomy was performed under strict aseptic condition and the osseous defect was treated with Novabone putty, collagen membrane and PRF coagulum. One year follow up revealed, defect fill gain in clinical attachment, improved gingival biotype and increased width of attached gingiva. Hence, it can be said that the synergistic effect of various regenerative materials along with periapical root sealing brings about clinical and radiographic improvement in endo-perio lesions present in chronic hepatitis patients.","PeriodicalId":93742,"journal":{"name":"Dental research and oral health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69345426","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}

Postoperative complications can be seen in the FGG as the donor area which heals by secondary wound healing. In this study, it was aimed to minimize the complications that can be seen in the donor area after free gingival graft operation with ‘autologue fibrin glue’(AFG) application. Methods: Systemically healthy, 28 year-old female patient applied to Department of Periodontology with complaints of bleeding, pain and esthetics due to recession of gingiva in the lower central teeth. As a result of the clinical examination, inadequate attached gingiva was detected in the area related. FGG operation was planned to increase the amount of gingival tissue. In addition, AFG application to the palatal region was planned in order to minimize the complications that may be seen in the donor area after the operation. AFG, which were obtained from the patient's blood, was applied to the open wound surface. Wound healing was assessed with clinical parameters at 3, 7, 14 days and 1 month postoperatively. Results: Wound healing was achieved without any complications. It was seen that the use of AFG in palatal wound healing, reduced post-operative complications and accelerated the healing process. Conclusion: The adhesive structure of AFG may be preferred to another platelet concentrates with ease of use in the palatal region.","PeriodicalId":93742,"journal":{"name":"Dental research and oral health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69345245","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}
