Dilaceration is the result of a developmental anomaly in which there has been an abrupt change in the axial inclination between the crown and the root of a tooth. Dilaceration can be seen in both the permanent and deciduous dentitions, and is more commonly found in posterior teeth and in maxilla. Periapical radiographs are the most appropriate way to diagnose the presence of root dilacerations. The controlled regularly tapered preparation of the curved canals is the ultimate challenge in endodontics. Careful and meticulous technique will yield a safe and sufficient enlargement of the curved canals. This article gives a review of the literature and three interesting case reports of root dilacerations.
In today’s fast paced, uncertain, volatile and competitive world, it has become utmost important to find out ways and means to tackle psychological issues and emotional intelligence of individuals. This uncertain and competitive culture not only affects the business world but also affects the performance and life of the students. The present study aims to analyze the impact of Psychological Capital and Emotional Intelligence on the academic performance of the Indian Business graduates. 175 participants responded to a well-structuredquestionnaire. The perception of students was measured using a structured questionnaire. The questions were formulated based on the variables such as emotional intelligence (EI) and psychological capital (Psycap) taking into consideration pervious research. Twenty Four components of Psychological Capital were used (Luthans, Avolio and Avey, 2007) and Fifty components of Emotional Intelligence were used for the study. The performance of students was measured using their SGPA scores. Factor Analysis and Ordinal regression was applied to the collected data. It was found that only a few variables of Psychological capital and Emotional Intelligence affect the performance of Indian Business students. Implications of the findings as well as recommendations for future studies have been discussed.
Introduction: Dental anomaly of shape leads to various clinical dental pathologies requiring the intervention of a dental specialist. Early diagnosis and intervention in earlier stages can restore a nearnormal dentition and esthetics. So, the present study was undertaken to determine the prevailing dental anomalies of shape and its various subtypes in various age groups and gender variations.Materials and methods: Retrospective dental casts and radiographs were evaluated in 3,000 cases consisting of an equal proportion of males and females. Only cases with an age range from 10 to 40 years were included in the study. Dental anomalies of shape were evaluated for the presence of Gemination, fusion, talon cusp, dens evaginates, the cusp of carabelli, dens invaginatus, taurodontism, and dilacerations and recorded.Result: A total of 538 (17.9%) cases were found to have dental anomalies of shape which included 288 (19.2%) males and 250 (16.6%) females. Dilaceration was found to be the most common (9.2%) dental anomaly of shape followed successively by taurodontism (3.7%), talon cusp (2.23%), and the cusp of carabelli (1.4%). Most of the shape anomalies showed male predilection. A higher prevalence of most dental anomalies of shape was found in the younger age group of 10 to ≤25 years as it is not linked with age but still has got importance to know while the treatment is carried out in this age group. Conclusion: It is quite imperative to have complete knowledge of trends and patterns of shape anomalies in India. It will guide dental practitioners to formulate a treatment plan on the basis of existing prevailing anomalies.
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.
