To estimate the amount of bacteria present in patients wearing metallic and ceramic brackets. The objective of the present study is to investigate the amount of bacteria in patients wearing fixed orthodontic appliance. The fixed orthodontic appliance is the treatment of conditions like malocclusion. It includes brackets, tubes, band and ligating materials and archwires. Composite is used for bonding the brackets to the teeth surface, and it also induces the formation of plaque. Dental plaque is the main aetiology for Causing gingivitis. This study shows that the metallic and ceramic brackets worn by the patients were contaminated with various microorganisms. The main focus of the study is to create awareness among patients with fixed orthodontic appliance and to improve their oral hygiene and to prevent periodontal problems.
Assessing the knowledge and awareness about population in India. Methods: Structured questionnaires were randomly distributed to chennai. Results: The awareness of bronchial asthma questions showed that 6 thought that it could be a fatal disease, and about 50% thought that there is a difference between asthma and chest allergies in children. 50% thought that infectious respiratory diseases may increase asthma progression. In addition, 4 antibiotics doesn't help in diminishing bronchial asthma complications, and some thought that the patient can stop medication after an acute asthma attack. medication for asthma doesn't cause addiction. Very highly significant results are shown between asthma knowledge and age, the level of educationand if the individual knows a person who suffers fromasthma.
Conclusion:The study demonstrated Asthma knowledge in the insufficient, and efforts should be carried out to spreadasthma management.
The loss of alveolar bone may be attributed to various factors such as periodontitis, facial trauma, endodontic pathology and other aggressive steps used during extraction. Socket preservation is a technique in which the extraction sockets were completely filled with a bone substitute material or sealed with membranes in order to prevent bone loss. For a dental practitioner, it is important to have a clear knowledge regarding various bone grafts and membranes used for socket preservation. The aim of the study was to evaluate various bone grafts and membranes used for socket preservation. The participants were patients who reported to Saveetha Dental College for socket preservation procedure. A total of 25 patients had undergone socket preservation procedure during the specified time period. The data were collected and statistical analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 20.0. Patients in the age group of 19-30 years had highly undergone socket preservation procedure. The procedure was carried out mostly in males than females. The most commonly used graft was found to be Bio Oss (60%) and the most commonly used membrane was GTR combined with PRF (48%). Association between site of socket preservation and types of bone graft used was found to be statistically significant (p-value: 0.001). From the present study, it can be concluded that patients in the age group of 19-30 years had highly undergone socket preservation procedure. The procedure was carried out mostly in males than females. Maxillary anteriors was the most common site. Bio-oss was the most commonly used bone graft and GTR with PRF was the most commonly used membrane among patients who had undergone socket preservation procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
