“…GS has several etiologies, such as vertical maxillary excess, anterior dentoalveolar extrusion, altered passive eruption, lip length and activity, and over compensatory eruption, among others, and although there are distinct causes, it is often the result of a multifactorial effect [3][4][5]. An accurate differential diagnosis is crucial for proper therapeutic application, as the treatment of a gummy smile includes facial surgery, periodontal surgery, laser, and botulinum toxin injection.…”

Digital flow has become a part of currently practiced dentistry. Virtual planning ensures predictable aesthetic and functional rehabilitation, painless postoperative recovery, and better communication with patients, thus meeting their expectations. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the digital planning for the correction of a gummy smile with a personalized preparation using a piezoelectric surgical guide (PerioGuide) for gingival contouring and flapless osteotomy. The guide was designed using Nemo Studio software, based on the patient’s facial aesthetic analysis, through photos, videos, and facial scanning. These images were aligned with the scan and placed over the cone beam computed gingival tomography for prediction of results, based not only on the distance from the cementoenamel junction to the bone crest but also on the best gingival margin contour according to virtual aesthetic planning. Digital planning, combined with the use of a piezoelectric device, allows for a flapless guided surgical technique for gingival contouring and osteotomy. As a result, the surgical procedure is safer, faster, and more predictable with better postoperative outcomes.

“…Smoking is thought to affect the periodontal tissues mainly by the vascular and immunological response of the body as it would also induce a decreased local host response. Previously our team had conducted numerous clinical trials (Ravi et al, 2017), in-vitro studies involving periodontal disease pathogenesis (Priyanka et al, 2017;Varghese et al, 2015), comparative studies (Ramamurthy and Mg, 2018;Kavarthapu and Thamaraiselvan, 2018), Evaluation studies (Khalid et al, 2017;Thamaraiselvan et al, 2015), case reports (Panda et al, 2014;Ramesh et al, 2017Ramesh et al, , 2019, systematic reviews (Avinash et al, 2017;Mootha et al, 2016) reviews (Khalid et al, 2016;Ramesh et al, 2016b) and literature reviews (Ramesh et al, 2016b) over the past many years. Now we are focusing on epidemiological studies related to periodontal disease.…”

Pericoronitis is an infectious disease affecting the operculum overlying a semi-erupted or erupting tooth. Pericoronitis occurs mainly or particularly on the lower third molars. It is painfully debilitating at times and it's a common periodontal emergency found for many diseases, with tobacco being the major modifiable risk factor. It has a negative impact over oral health and oral hygiene. The aim of this study is to analyse the prevalence of pericoronitis among smokers. Patients included in this retrospective study were those with a diagnosis of pericoronitis from July 2019 till March 2020. Socio-demographic and clinical data of all the 109 patients collected such as age, gender, tooth or teeth affected by pericoronitis and treatment undergone were retrieved from the recorded details of the patients. This data was tabulated in excel and then imported to SPSS software for statistical analysis. During the study period, 109 patients presented with pericoronitis. The peak age for the prevalence of pericoronitis was 20-25 years accounting for 75.2% of the patients. The prevalence of lower left third molar (54.1%) being affected with pericoronitis was higher than the lower right third molar being affected (45.9%). Extraction (95.4%) was the frequently performed treatment for pericoronitis. Pericoronitis occurs more often in 20-25 years of age patients who are smokers. While the lower left third molar being the most common tooth involved in pericoronitis and extraction of the affected teeth was the treatment of choice among the majority of the population.

“…These are some of the previously undertaken research topics in the field of periodontology by Saveetha Dental College [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Now we are planning to do a comparative evaluation of intrinsic antibacterial activity of copper suction tube vs stainless steel suction tube against the S.mutans strains.…”

Aim of the present study is comparative evaluation of the inherent antimicrobial properties of the copper and stainless steel suction tube also evaluate bacterial adherence and reduction with time within the suction tube. Present study was performed in an in vitro setting in Saveetha dental college and hospital. Both the metals suction tubes were cut into equal lengths of 2.3 inches and dipped in a sterile container for 5 minutes which had bacterial suspension of Streptococcus Mutans. Each group included three samples of copper and stainless steel suction tubes. Control group was taken out at 0 mins post initial dipping period de-coated in a sterile container and immediately cultured on Brain heart infusion agar, followed by group 1 at 15 minutes group 2 at 60 minutes and group 3 at 180 minutes respectively. Bacterial colonies were counted after overnight incubation. Copper suction tubes demonstrated less initial adhesion of bacterial colonies than that of stainless steel suction tubes. Percentage reduction in bacterial colonies was observed more in stainless steel suction tubes with respect to time. Spite of high initial adhesion stainless steel suction tube demonstrated higher degree of percentage reduction in bacterial colonies with time hence proven better for antimicrobial properties than copper suction tube.
