Vanishing Roots: First Case Report of Idiopathic Multiple Cervico–Apical External Root Resorption

Diabetes mellitus, a common disease of the 20th century, has been linked with a higher risk of incidence of caries, gingivitis and periodontal disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries in patients with type II diabetes mellitus and to compare them to those recorded in a control group with no systemic illnesses. Eighty-six thousand patient records were reviewed between June 2019 to March 2020. A total of 200 diabetic patients and 200 control group patients (without any systemic illness) with age group between 30-60 years were included in the study. Cross verification of data was done using RBS values and the patient's medical history. The collected data were tabulated using Microsoft Excel and analysed using SPSS. Incomplete data were excluded from the study. Statistical analysis was done using a chi-square test. In our study, we observed that diabetic individuals had a higher number of caries than control groups. (p<0.05) Individuals above 50 years of age had a higher number of active caries compared to other groups. (p>0.05) The males affected were higher in number than females. (p>0.05) Most individuals with active caries fell in the RBS range of 200-250 mg/dl. Within the limits of the study, diabetic patients showed an increased number of active caries when compared to the control group. There was no significant association between age, gender and RBS values.

“…Identi ication of the signs of a possible TMD is essential for diagnosis. Previously our team had conducted numerous case studies (Choudhury and Panigrahi, 2015;Misra et al, 2015) and systematic reviews (Venugopal and Maheswari, 2016;Chaitanya, 2017;Chaitanya et al, 2018;Maheswari et al, 2018) and questionnairebased studies (Subashri and Maheshwari, 2016;Warnakulasuriya and Muthukrishnan, 2018) and international validation study (Steele et al, 2015) and radiographic studies (Rohini and Kumar, 2017;Patil et al, 2018;Subha and Arvind, 2019) over the past 5 years. Now we are focussing on epidemiological surveys.…”

Temporomandibular disorder is a collective term for a group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions. Patients will complain of pain in the TMJ region and the fatigue of the Cranio cervico facial muscles. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of TMD in patients visiting a private dental college. This was a retrospective study. Samples were collected from June 2019 to March 2020. The sample size was 55 patients. Data of Temporomandibular disorders were collected. Excel tabulation was done. Chi-Square test was performed and results were obtained using SPSS software. Out of 55 patients, the prevalence of group I of RDC criteria was 34.5%, prevalence of group II of RDC criteria was 62% and the prevalence of group III of RDC criteria was 3.5%. From the present study, it can be concluded that the prevalence of TMD in patients visiting a private dental College was very less. Group II of our RDC criteria was found to be high, with a percentage of 62%.

“…Smokeless tobacco is also one of the factors for improper oral hygiene (Subashri and Maheshwari, 2016) which leads to many infections such as pericoronitis (Patil et al, 2018), dental caries (Rohini and Kumar, 2017), periodontal problems, tumours not only in the oral cavity, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (Misra et al, 2015). Tobacco chewing indirectly causes root resorption (Choudhury et al, 2015) and osteonecrosis of the jaw (Muthukrishnan et al, 2016). Studies have shown that tobacco interferes with the trigeminal nerve (Holle et al, 2014;Subha and Arvind, 2019).…”

Tobacco use is one of the leading preventable causes of early death, disease around the world. India has a high prevalence rate of tobacco consumption, both smoking and smokeless forms. There are many types of chewing tobacco such as pan masala, khaini, mawa, snuff, zarda, mishri etc. The aim of this study is to find the prevalence rate of the type of chewing tobacco in tobacco users in patients reported to, Chennai. It's a retrospective cross-sectional study in a university setting. Case records were collected and analysed the data of 41000 patients between June 2019 and March 2020 from the private dental institution. A total of 194 cases were recorded with patients who have a habit of chewing tobacco. The data was tabulated with parameters such as age, gender, type of chewing tobacco and type of habit. Data was then imported to IBM-SPSS v20 for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics was done for further analysis. Among types of chewing tobacco, pan masala was prevalent (55.7%), with male predilection being 92.3%. The common age group which was seen chewing tobacco was 18-30 years-28.4%, with type of habit being only chewing tobacco-87.1%. Within the limits of the study, prevalence was seen in males with 18-30 age group being the most affected. Pan masala was the most prevalent type of chewing tobacco followed by gutka. As pan and gutka are the most common types used in Chennai, it is more carcinogenic than other types of chewing tobacco and its usage is increasing among the youth. Precautions must be taken such as anti-tobacco intervention to decrease the consumption of tobacco which causes a decrease in chances of cancer formation.
