SUMMARYCrown fracture of maxillary anterior teeth is relatively common among children and teenagers. Aesthetic rehabilitation of crown fractures of the maxillary anterior is one of the greatest challenges to the dentist. Reattachment of a fractured fragment to the remaining tooth can provide better and long-lasting aesthetics, improved function, a positive psychological response and is a faster and less-complicated procedure. This article presents a case of reattachment of anterior tooth with a coronal fracture involving enamel, dentin and pulp with a 1.5-year follow-up. BACKGROUND
Background: Due to increasing problem of oral health diseases worldwide, there is urgent need of comprehensive data collection system. Traditionally, carious lesions were detected and evaluated using physical criteria that consist of size, depth, and existence or absence of cavitations. Untreated caries in children were increasing like epidemic and there is an urgent need to determine a system that can assess initiation of dental caries to advanced stages so as to determine the disease diagnosis and decide on appropriate clinical treatment. Paucity of consistent and standardized criteria to detect caries which are applicable universally is a major issue in caries measurement. This may result in confusion among clinicians, educators, and researchers in interpretation of data from various research studies, leading to apparently conflicting results. Aim: This article is presented with the aim of studying in detail about different dental caries indices used for detection, diagnosis, and estimation of dental caries. Conclusion: Reliable, reproducible, and realistic detection and estimation of dental caries lesions as a result of dental caries have been a challenge for a long time. There are many promising newer dental caries indices, which will help in identifying caries at early or precavitated stage and accurate diagnosis of dental caries.
Introduction: Since the 1950s, presurgical infant orthopedics has been in use as an adjunctive neonatal therapy for the correction of cleft lip and palate. Nasoalveolar molding is used successfully to reshape the nasal cartilage and to mold the maxillary arch before surgical repairing cleft lip. Aim: The aim of the present study is to correct cleft lip and palate by using nasoalveolar molding (NAM). Case report: We describe the case of a 2-day-old baby who presented with unilateral cleft lip and palate, which was corrected by the NAM technique. First, we describe the use of acrylic which is attached to the vestibular shield of an oral molding plate in order to mold the nasal alar cartilages into its normal form and site during the neonatal period. This technique takes benefit of the flexibility of immature cartilage and its capability to sustain a permanent correction of its form. This article presents the appliance design, clinical management, and biomechanical principles of NAM therapy. Conclusion: Use of NAM has removed surgical scars related to conventional columella reconstruction and has decreased the number and price of revised surgical procedures.
A bstract Introduction The old saying “prevention is better than cure” holds true when applied to preventive dental care. It is vitally important for the general health and well-being of the individual to take the necessary steps to prevent the occurrence of major dental problems. American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) emphasizes the importance of initiating professional oral health intervention in infancy and continuing through adolescence and beyond. Materials and methods Around 109 available private general dental practitioners of Durg-Bhilai city (within city limits) made up the (convenient) sampling frame of the study. These entire dentists were identified and contacted. But, out of 109 dentists, only 92 were surveyed. BDS graduates and MDS (other than pedodontists) were included in the study. Dentists who were not willing to participate were excluded from the study. The sample size was calculated based on the total number of dentists practicing in Durg-Bhilai city limits. Conclusion A statistically significant correlation was found in-between the knowledge and practice score (0.368), knowledge and attitude (0.269); attitude and practice (−0.257).
