Rotary systems in combination with gutta-percha solvents can perform superiorly as compared to the time tested traditional hand instrumentation in root canal retreatment.
Aim The aim of this case report was to evaluate the clinical performance of a onepiece implant in a partially edentulous anterior mandible. Introduction Osseointegration being an accepted and well-documented concept, attention is nowdirected toward simplification of the mechanical design of implants and toward achieving biomechanical success. Case report This case report demonstrates the immediate loading of one piece root form implant in esthetically concern patient. Patient came to the clinic with the chief complain of missing lower front teeth and wanted replacement of the same. Conclusion A single stage, one piece implant placement with immediate loading provides a good soft tissue healing and minimal postoperative discomfort to the patient. Clinical significance One piece root form implants is a reliable treatment protocol in esthetically concerned patients. How to cite this article Bilichodmath S, Shivanand S, Singh N.

Introduction The prevalence of aggressive periodontitis (AP) has been extensively studied globally. Limited information is available on the AP prevalence in the Indian population. Hence, a survey was undertaken to give a more accurate prevalence of AP in the population visiting the outpatient Department of Periodontology, RajaRajeswari Dental College & Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Materials and methods A total of 500 patients were screened to estimate the prevalence of AP. Thorough gingival examination, including bleeding on probing, was done to evaluate the gingival condition. The periodontal status was evaluated by assessment of clinical attachment level, probing pocket depth, and gingival recession. The subjects provisionally diagnosed with AP were referred to the Department of Radiology for further examination. The radiographic assessment involved full mouth intraoral periapical radiographs and panoramic radiographs. Results Out of the 500 patients screened, 8 cases (LAP-4, GAP-4) were found to be confirmed with the diagnosis of AP, giving a prevalence of 1.6%. Conclusion The prevalence rate of AP in the screened population is 1.6%. The higher prevalence of AP in the present study can be attributed to the fact that the population studied is hospital based because of the convenience. The prevalence of AP is highly variable and controversial globally and needs a concerted and systemic approach if this is to be settled. How to cite this article Shivanand S, Singh N, Bilichodmath S.

Aims The treatment of gingival inflammation is associated with improved glycemic control in diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to test the short-term effects of professional oral hygiene procedures on plasma glucose levels in systemically healthy individuals with periodontal diseases. Materials and methods Forty-five systemically healthy individuals visiting the RajaRajeswari Dental College & Hospital were randomly allocated into three groups, group I (gingivitis), group II (periodontitis), and group III (healthy control). The subjects of groups I and II were treated by scaling and root planning whereas the healthy control group did not receive any treatment. The plasma glucose levels were estimated at baseline for all the three groups. Plasma glucose levels were again assessed immediately following the oral hygiene procedures and at 1 week recall visit for groups I and II. Results All 45 patients completed the study. There were no dropouts. There was no statistically significant change in random blood sugar (RBS) level in group I (gingivitis) from baseline to postoperative whereas there was a statistically significant reduction in the mean RBS levels from postoperative to 1 week. In group II (periodontitis), there was a significant reduction in the mean values of RBS from baseline to postoperative and baseline to 1 week. Conclusion This short-term study showed that professional oral hygiene procedures are effective in improving the glycemic status of systemically healthy patients with periodontal diseases.
