The study depicts that the combination of audio, Braille & tactile models is an effective way to provide oral health education & improve Oral health status of visually impaired children.
Many developmental anomalies of the jaw are accidentally diagnosed during radiographic investigations for other symptoms. Complex odontomas are odontogenic tumours, relatively rare in the anterior maxilla and generally asymptomatic. Frequently the odontoma may interfere with the eruption of teeth. This paper describes a case of complex odontoma in an 8-year-old girl, which resulted in the palatal displacement of the lateral incisor and an erupting permanent canine. A calcified mass was seen on the radiograph and was provisionally diagnosed as an odontoma which was surgically enucleated. Routine follow-up was carried out for more than 1 year and no recurrence was seen.
The pattern of third molar impaction in the region of Bhopal is characterized by a high prevalence of impaction, especially in the mandible. The most common angulation was the vertical in the mandible as well as in the maxilla. The most common level of impaction in mandible was level A and in maxilla is level C and there was no any significant difference between the right and left sides in both jaws.
Salivary dysfunction may be due to systemic diseases and medications. The development of sialoliths is a multifactorial event in which disturbance in secretion, microliths and bacteria may play a major role. A case of sialolith in the parotid gland of a 25-year-old man, with no relevant medical history is reported here.
A female patient of 16 years of age reported with a chief complain of severe pain , swelling and pus discharge with respect to right lower back tooth region since two days,with a previous history of sensitivity to hot and cold. On the basis of case history ,clinical and radiographic findings case was diagnosed as primary endodontic lesion with secondary periodontal involvement,and was decided to treat it first endontically followed by periodontal surgery based on the principles of periodontal regeneration by using synthetic bonegraft and resorbable GTR membrane.At the end of 6months the case showed the positive results with gain in both soft and hard tissue parameters .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
