“…In the recent years, some formulations incorporating herbs has proved to be more effective for routine periodontal maintenance which would be a better option for geriatric patients (Ramesh et al, 2016b;Ramamurthy and Mg, 2018). In future, more prospective studies may be conducted to rule out oral diseases and oral health maintenance in geriatric patients in elderly (Ingram et al, 2005;Alzoubi et al, 2019). The limitations of this study mainly include the study being single-centered, geographical variations and small sample size.…”

Geriatric patients need adequate oral health care which can greatly influence their overall general health. A large population of the elderly patients due to poor oral hygiene suffer from periodontal disease and root caries which can lead to edentulousness. The present study analysed the oral hygiene status among geriatric patients visiting dental hospital in an institution. A total of 86000 patient records were reviewed from June 2019 - April 2020. 233 geriatric patients were included in the study. The gender, age and Oral Hygiene Index- Simplified (OHI-S) of the patients were recorded and statistically analysed. The study consisted of 233 patients out of which 66 patients (28.6%) were females and 165 (71.4%) were males. The results showed that 31% of the patients had good oral hygiene, 60% showed fair and 9% of the patients showed poor oral hygiene. 34.6% of the females had good oral hygiene and 57.5% had fair oral hygiene. 30% of the males showed good oral hygiene and 60% had fair oral hygiene. Within the limits of the study, it was evident that most of the geriatric patients had fair oral hygiene status.

“…1). The orthodontics is a dental specialty that aids in the correction of the alignment of teeth, with respect to the skeletal form, and a soft-tissue relationship of a patient undertaking the treatment [9]. The field of orthodontic treatment is associated with various types of fixed appliances which may include brackets that are attached to the teeth by adhesive, and an archwire that is attached to the brackets.…”

Introduction: Generally, a mini implant is a device which is used for fixing the bones. It helps in augmenting orthodontic anchorage. It is done wherein either by direct or indirect anchorage which further is getting removed subsequently after being used. Objective: The objective of the present research is to provide a device for holding a mini implant placement guide. Another objective of the present research is to provide a device for holding a mini implant placement guide, which provides accurate placement of a mini implant in three planes of space, namely, sagittal, vertical and transverse. Methods: The device is configured on a dental brace. The device is provided with an engaging member, an operating member, a vertical arm and a horizontal arm. The engaging member is having two engaging legs. Results: The present research provides a device which is used in an orthodontics treatment. The orthodontics is a dental specialty that aids in the correction of the alignment of teeth, with respect to the skeletal form, and a soft- tissue relationship of a patient undertaking the treatment. Conclusion: The present research provides a device for holding a mini implant placement guide. Also, the device provides accurate placement of a mini implant in three planes of space, namely, sagittal, vertical and transverse. Further, the device help in the placement site decision mesiodistally, as well as the vertical positions of the crown-to-root areas can be determined.

“…Changes in oral hygiene practices were comparable, suggesting that individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment effectively maintained their oral care routines after treatment completion. The findings related to oral hygiene practices emphasize the importance of patient education and continuous monitoring during and after orthodontic treatment to ensure optimal oral health [ 14 ]. Adequate oral hygiene measures, including regular monitoring and adjustments to oral care routines, are crucial for preventing the development of caries in individuals with orthodontic appliances [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Background: Orthodontic treatment is a widely embraced intervention aimed at enhancing dental aesthetics and correcting malocclusions among adolescents. However, concerns persist regarding its potential impact on oral health, particularly on the development of dental caries. This study aimed to systematically investigate the relationship between orthodontic treatment and the incidence of new carious lesions among adolescents. Methods: A prospective cohort design involving adolescents aged 12-18 years was employed. A total of 82 patients met the inclusion criteria. In addition, an age-matched control group of 82 participants who did not undergo orthodontic treatment was included. The study included both a treatment group undergoing orthodontic treatment (braces or aligners) and an age-matched control group that did not undergo any orthodontic intervention. Demographic characteristics, orthodontic treatment details, and oral hygiene practices were documented at baseline and throughout the study period. Dental examinations at six-month intervals post-treatment were conducted to track the incidence and progression of carious lesions. Results: The demographic characteristics, baseline oral health status, orthodontic treatment details, and oral hygiene practices were comparable between the treatment and control groups. Post-orthodontic treatment assessment revealed a slightly higher incidence of new carious lesions in the treatment group (14.6%) than in the control group (9.8%), although this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.15). Dental examinations at six-month intervals demonstrated a gradual increase in caries incidence over time in both groups, with no substantial disparities observed. Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive examination of the relationship between orthodontic treatment and the incidence of new carious lesions among adolescents. While a trend towards higher caries incidence in the treatment group was observed, the difference was not statistically significant. These findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge and emphasize the need for ongoing research to guide clinical practice.
