Nowadays, the clinicians basically focused on patient-centered therapy either they prefer the surgical or non-surgical method of treatment. Dental implants were alleviated patient from the effects of loss of teeth and alveolar bone around it. A major factor that determines the success of a dental implant is osseointegration, which is a direct structural and functional connection between bone tissue and the implant. Implant dentistry, a different type of surgical technique and various biomaterials were introduced since the 1970s. The well-documented correlation between flap elevation and bone loss resulted in the introduction of minimally invasive or flapless techniques, an approach that is gaining popularity in Implantology. Flapless implant placement technique is minimally invasive implant placement under which the implant is placed without reflecting mucoperiosteal flap so that the blood supply of bone is not hampered and it is thought to be beneficial in various outcomes. Flapless approach for implant placement is reported to significantly reduce the surgical time, lessen patient discomfort, and increase patient acceptance. As there are comparable or better results found in different studies for flapless implant survival rate, marginal bone level, keratinized mucosa, and esthetic outcomes, a surgeon well adapted to flapless approach can implement this technique for their benefit. The present oral presentation includes a comprehensive review of various aspects of minimal invasive implant therapy with clinical presentation series of various cases.

Background: Dry socket is one of the most common complications of tooth extraction and its prevalence may reach up to >35%. Several contributing factors have been reported to be associated with an increased risk of dry socket.

 

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence of dry socket in BPKIHS after extraction and assessment of factor associated with the dry socket.

 

Material and Method: Data related to this study were collected from all patients visiting oral and maxillofacial surgery department for routine extraction. The target sample of this study comprised of 1636 patients during 6 months of the period for extraction. The data included age, sex, traumatic extraction, smoking, site of extraction, medically compromised patients, use of local anesthetics, and operators were also collected.

 

Results: The total number of patients who underwent dental extraction in 2016 at BPKIHS was 1636. The number of teeth extracted was 2151. Only 68 patients returned with dry sockets giving an incidence of 4% of cases and 3.2% of the teeth extracted. Dry socket had been found to be affected significantly by female 66% and male 34%. There were 13(19%) cases of the dry socket with a medical history and 55(81%) cases of the dry socket with single extraction.

 

Conclusion: It is recommended to identify high-risk groups when performing extraction to consider measures in order to reduce postoperative complications

Nutrition is a basic human need and adequate wholesome diet is essential for the proper growth and development of the human body. Prolonged nutritional deficits lead to chronic malnutrition in children. Malnutrition, with its two constituents of protein-energy malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, continues to be a major health burden in developing countries, especially in Asia and Africa. PEM, while generally considered a health problem in developing countries, is not rare in developed countries. According to the reports by the United Nations in 2008, around 923 million people worldwide are suffering from malnutrition. Malnutrition has severe effects on the growth and differentiation of different tissues. Even oral tissues, including the teeth, are very sensitive to the changes in the nutritional supply at these particular developing stages, thus increasing the ill effects on the oral structures. The present study seeks to bring out the association of early childhood malnutrition with dental caries and altered eruption timing as a potential explanatory variable in the relationship between PEM and dental caries. The data was collected on the basis of the examination conducted on 200 children under 5 years of age with protein-energy malnutrition in rural areas of Udaipur district. The nutritional status assessment was done by a Pediatrician looking for the signs of malnutrition: eye, pitting oedema and appearance. Anthropometric measures were taken according to WHO criteria. These measurements included: upper arm circumference, weight, age and length/height of the child. This data was converted into weight for age, height for age, weight for height and arm circumference for age and compared with the WHO standard charts for protein-energy malnutrition patients. Blood samples were collected from each child to determine total protein level, serum albumin, and serum globulin levels after obtaining the consent from the parents. Questionnaires detailing information on child-related factors like age at commencement of weaning, immunization coverage and a number of diarrhoea episodes, etc. were administered. The oral health status of these children was assessed according to the WHO - Oral Health Survey Protocol. Assessment for the following was carried out: Caries and delayed eruption. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 20. Chi-square test, Students t-test, and Pearsons correlation were employed. The result showed that the majority of the study population was in <-3 SD and below, which signifies a severe form of malnutrition. Caries was found in very few children, only 10% of the study population showed carious teeth. The delayed eruption was found in a large number of children that constituted almost 45%

of the study population

The history of the toothpick is as old as mankind and as universal as eating. Its story knows no bounds, and it is revealed in the records of anthropology as surely in annals of etiquette. The story of the toothpick consists of an information set in prehistoric Africa, China, Brazil, Japan, Sweden, and the United States. The toothpick is the story of everyone and everything at every time. This paper traces the evolution, history, and development of this magnificent piece of everyday use and its ill effects on periodontium when not used in the right technique.

3D Printing (3DP), otherwise known as additive manufacturing is the forerunner in today’s digital dentistry. 3DP as a technique surfaced back in the 1980s but has turned mainstream only since lean methodologies entered prototyping more recently in the 21st century. Its advent began when Charles Hull printed, for the first time, in 1983, a three-dimensional object using the first 3D printer. 3DP is a process of producing 3D solid objects from a digital file in STL format (Surface tesselation language file or Standard triangulation language file) by a 3D printer by joining, bonding, sintering or polymerizing small volume elements. As evident in the Gartner Hype Cycles for 2017, 3DP is making critical inroads today in dentistry driven primarily by its superior customization propensity
