Injury to the permanent central incisors due to trauma in the maxillofacial region, though common, may result in an uncommon sequel. We report a case of traumatic injury in a 5-year-old child with displacement of the tooth bud into the nasal floor. The identification of ectopic tooth buds poses little diagnostic challenge due to the available imaging facilities, however, in the present case the ectopic bud remained unnoticed and resulted in ectopic eruption of the tooth in the nasal cavity 1 year later. This report highlights a rare case of nasal eruption of a permanent tooth and places stress on the need for close attention to detail during maxillofacial trauma for early detection and proper management.

Ultrapak Lateral displacementTravelling microscope a b s t r a c t Purpose: Gingival management is a substantive procedure in fixed dental prosthesis treatment. Various new retraction cord systems are available and used. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of a new retraction cord (Stay-Put, Coltene Whaledent AG) and a conventional retraction cord (Ultrapak, Ultradent Products Inc., South Jordan, Utah) on lateral gingival displacement in continuation with the treatment protocol of the subjects fixed dental prosthesis for various partial edentulous conditions requiring fixed dental prosthesis. Method: Thirty subjects were selected who needed bilateral fixed dental restoration. In selected subjects both gingival retraction cords were placed bilaterally buccolingually by simple randomization method. After removing the cords, impressions were made and undamaged definitive casts were retrieved. The abutment teeth were sectioned buccolingually at the buccal ridge followed by decimal measurement of the width (in millimeter) of the retracted gingival sulcus, under a traveling microscope. Results: Data was analyzed using SPSS version. Paired "t" test was used to compare the difference between the displaced gingival width in two retraction group ( p > 0.05). Conclusion: Although mean gingival retraction in Stay-Put system (0.528 AE 0.12 mm) was higher as compared to that in Ultrapak (0.487 AE 0.10 mm), the difference between the two systems (0.041 AE 0.11) was not significant statistically ( p ¼ 0.057).

Cheiloscopy is the study of lip prints. Lip prints are genotypically determined and are unique, and stable. At the site of crime, lip prints can be either visible or latent. To develop lip prints for study purpose various chemicals such as lysochrome dyes, fluorescent dyes, etc. are available which are very expensive. Vermilion (Sindoor used by married Indian women) and indigo dye (fabric whitener) are readily available, naturally derived, and cost-effective reagents available in India.Objective:To compare the efficacy of sudan black, vermilion, and indigo in developing visible and latent lip prints made on bone china cup, satin fabric, and cotton fabric.Materials and Methods:Out of 45 Volunteers 15 lip prints were made on bone China cup 15 lip prints on Satin fabric and 15 on Cotton fabric. Sudan black, vermilion and indigo were applied on visible and latent lip prints and graded as good (+,+), fair (+), and poor (-) and statistically evaluated.Results:The vermilion and indigo dye gives comparable results to that of sudan black for developing visible and latent lip prints.

The preservation of remaining root structure and alveolar bone covering them with denture has been used since many years. Tooth-retained overdentures transfer occlusal forces to the alveolar bone through the periodontal ligament of the retained tooth roots and thereby prevent bone resorption. Applications of magnets in overdenture technique has been widely used in dentistry in the field of prosthodontics, as they can be manufactured in small dimensions as retentive devices for complete denture, removable partial dentures, obturators and maxillofacial prosthesis. This article presents a simple and efficient method of fabrication of mandibular over denture retained by magnets in a patient whose mandibular residual ridge is severely resorbed with few remaining teeth and maxillary conventional removable partial denture. Mandibular over denture retained by magnets assembly consist of magnet and coping with keeper on remaining tooth structure to rehabilitate the patient since magnetic attachments can provide support, stability and retention.

ABSTRACT%Ocular defects result from tumor, congenital anomaly and external injury not only lead to serious impairment of function and esthetics but also make the patient psychologically disabled. Prosthetic rehabilitation attempts to restore these disfgurements may improve esthetic, level of function, general psychologic improvement and quality of life. This clinical report details an attempt to rehabilitate a pediatric patient who has undergone orbital enucleation resulting from retinoblastoma with the aid of custom ocular prosthesis using commercially available prefabricated eye shell.How to cite this article: Janya S, Gubrellay P, Purwar A, Khanna S.
