Marginal Leakage Around Fixed Dental Prosthesis - A review

Search methodology was comprehended using PICO analysis and a comprehensive search was initiated in PubMed Central, Medline, Cochrane, Ovid, Science Direct, Copernicus and Google Scholar databases to identify the related literature. Randomised control trials, clinical studies, case control studies and animal studies were searched for osseointegration of hafnium coated titanium implants versus conventional titanium implants. Timeline was set to include all the manuscripts published till December 2018 in this review.

Osseointegration of Hafnium when Compared to Titanium - A Structured Review

Smile is a curve that sets everything straight but a healthy smile needs good dental care.The appearance of the dentition is paramount to a large population seeking dental treatment and often the first evidence of variation from normal in human dentition is an observable difference in the color of the teeth.A thorough knowledge of the etiology of tooth staining is of prime importance to dental practitioners in order to reach a correct diagnosis.. The purpose of this study was to assess the etiology, discoloured surfaces and outcomes of different techniques in terms of patient satisfaction for the management of vital bleaching. A total of 31 case sheets were retrospectively analysed from the university database. It was found that Fluorosis was the most prevalent etiology in about 74.19%, Conventional technique was the most prevalent technique in about 83.87% and Upper anteriors were the most prevalent affected area in about 70.97%. It was also found that in both 16-25 yrs and 26-45 yrs age groups, fluorosis was the most prevalent etiology. In 46+yrs, both fluorosis and stains were equally prevalent, p value-0.102 (p>0.05). It was found that fluorosis was the prevalent etiology in both males(64.52%) and females(9.68%), p-value: 0.395 (p>0.05). For all sites, conventional technique is the most prefered technique, p-value: 0.751(p>0.05). The outcome for both Conventional and Power bleach techniques had prevalence of satisfaction, p-value: 0.342(p>0.05). Within the limitations of the study, we conclude that fluorosis was the most prevalent etiology for vital tooth discolouration. The discolouration of vital teeth was commonly presented in the upper anterior area followed by both upper and lower anteriors. Outcomes for conventional technique were more satisfactory than thermocatalytic.

A Comprehensive Systematic Review In Search Of Evidence for Pragmatic Altercations in Simplified Denture

Alveolar ridge defect occurs due to complex extraction of tooth which leads to a certain amount of bone loss and it occurs due to injury, congenital defects, Denture wear, periodontitis and truama. Alveolar ridge defects were classified by Seibert’s Classification which identified the ridge defect. Alveolar ridge defects can be classified as a loss of labial cortical or medullary bone or sometimes both. Thereby replacing the missing tooth and to restore good esthetics, phonetic, and mastication. To provide a proper treatment plan and treatment options can be assessed for successful outcomes. Hence, the purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of alveolar ridge defect using the Seibert’s classification in patients with fixed partial dentures. The retrospective study was conducted among patients with Fixed partial dentures. The data were reviewed of 86,000 patient records between 1 June 2019 and March 3

Oral Hygiene Status among Pregnant Women

Background and Aim: Tobacco use is one of the leading global causes of avoidable death worldwide and a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and cancer. A study in Canada reported that 64.4% of the people that used tobacco wanted to quit. Unfortunately only less than 5% of such attempts actually lead to long-term abstinence. This study aims to evaluate the quitting attempts and various barriers faced by patients when attempting tobacco cessation. Methodology: In this study we evaluated the records of 354 different patients that underwent Anti-tobacco counselling in Saveetha dental college and hospitals to determine the number of quitting attempts made and some common barriers faced by them in the process. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software. The statistical analysis for correlation was done using Perason’s Chi-Square test and Cross tabulation was done. Age and Gender were considered as independent variables. Results: The results showed that 28.81% of the patients that reported to the clinic were from the age group 31-40 years. Only 5.93% of the patients had made more than two attempts to quit tobacco. 44.07% of the patients showed a cessation period of less than 6 months.
