The aim was mainly to determine the correlation between the type of pulp capping method and the material of choice in this study. Pulp capping in the carious teeth has been considered as unpredictable and they mainly have a lesser success rate. The pulp capping can be mainly done in two methods; they are direct and indirect pulp capping which can be mainly done with the help of different materials of choice like calcium hydroxide,MTA etc. The study was conducted in Saveetha Dental College . The data collection has been done from the department of Conservative dentistry and Endodontics for patients undergoing pulp capping treatment. A total sample data of 140 patients were obtained for a period of nine months ( June 2019 – April 2020.). Statistical analysis was done by using chi-square test with SPSS software version 23. The results were obtained and tabulated, the type of pulp capping method were 67% of indirect pulp capping and 33% of direct pulp capping method in which 81% of calcium hydroxide, 8% of MTA and 11% of RMGIC was used as the materials of choice. Among which indirect pulp capping method was most commonly used than the direct pulp capping method with calcium hydroxide as the material of choice for the treatment (p < 0.05 which is statistically significant). The pulpal exposure was mainly due to the dental caries and mechanical preparation of the tooth. Within the limits of the present study, the most common type of the pulp exposure was due to the dental caries and mechanical exposure during the cavity preparation of the tooth and the most common method of pulp capping was the indirect method with calcium hydroxide (CaOH) as the most common material of choice.
The long term edentulous space among the patients can lead to the alveolar ridge defect that mainly occurs due to the injury, trauma, denture wears and the periodontitis. Based on the seibert's classification they are classified into 4 classes ; Class I (buccolingual loss of the tissue),class II (apicoronal loss of the tissue), Class III (Both loss of the tissue), Class IV (Normal). According to the classification, a proper treatment plan and alternative can be determined for the successful outcomes. The main aim of this study is to determine the age and gender based distribution of the edentulous patients according to seibert’s classification. The study was conducted in Saveetha Dental College. The data collection has been done from the department of Prosthodontics for patients undergoing fixed partial denture treatment. A total sample data of 479 patients were obtained for a period of nine months ( June 2019 – April 2020.). Statistical analysis was done by using chi-square test with SPSS software version 23. Based on the results , the age group distribution was about 18-35 years(43%), 36-54 years (42%) and 55-83 years (15%), the distribution of the Seibert’s classification of class I (78%), Class II (6%), Class III (6%) and Class IV (10%), the gender distribution was about males (58%) and females (42%). The most prevalent type of edentulous ridge type is Class I among the age group of 36-54 years which has the higher male predilection. They are statistically significant (p=<0.05). The prevalence of Siebert’s Classification of the edentulous ridges helps in the suggestion of the various management techniques and the treatment planning to the patient to ensure the prognosis and the treatment outcomes to be successful.
