Background: Odontogenic tumors derived from tooth forming apparatus, either epithelial or ecto-mesenchymal or both. Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of odontogenic epithelium, represent 1% of all oral ectodermal tumors and 9% of odontogenic tumors.It is a benign tumor that shows an insidious slow growth, locally invasive with high recurrence rate. Aim: To determine radiographical and clinical features of ameloblastoma in patients reporting to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Study design: Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study Place and duration of study: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, Multan Medical and Dental College Multan during 6 months. Methodology: A descriptive audit including all patient records with a histopathologically confirmed report of ameloblastoma based on the routine Hematoxylin and Eosin staining during the period of 6 months. Consecutive non-probability sampling technique was used. Results: A total of 140 patient records were included in this study among whom 95 (67.9%) were male and 45(45%) were female. 123 (87.9%) lesions were found in the mandible, while 17(12.1%) in the maxilla. Swelling was the most commonly reported symptom in 137(97.9%) of the cases. Pain and tooth mobility were among other symptoms. Radiographically, the multilocular appearance accounted for 97(69.3%) while uni-loculancy was present in 43(30.7%) of the lesions. Conclusion: This study concluded that males are more affected with ameloblastoma than females. The 2nd and 3rd decades of life were the most common age group affected. Painless swelling was the most common clinical feature reported in ameloblastoma attributing to late diagnosis. Keywords: Ameloblastoma, features, multilocular, Radiograph.
Background Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) has been defined as “unpredicted & the quick halt/stop in the breathing of patients or/and circulation due to numerous reasons. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation incorporates complete hard work & the practices for the reviving of that individual/person who is in the heart failure. All of the wellbeing professionals, including oral/dental experts, have to be trained and prepared enough to oversee health linked crises. Aim: To see student’s skills of latest CPR guiding principles Study design: Cross-sectional study Place and duration of study: This study of 3 months duration was carried on students of Multan dental college Multan. Methodology: Eighty Students were chosen randomly. Knowledge concerning CPR was appraised by objective type printed paper. Practical skills/ expertise was then appraised by the SimMan (the high-fidelity simulator). The paper embraced of eighteen true false and 7 MCQ’s. Every query was of one mark and the passing score was 50%. Results: Men were thirty two while ladies were forty eight. 66(82.5%) participants failed in initial assessment, 72(90%) students reported failure due to compression rate error, 58(72.5%) subjects were failed due to ventilation rate error and 61(76.25%) students failed due to wrong hand position Conclusion: Level of the knowledge in addition to training concerning the medicinal emergencies of students is below and less than required standard. Hence, it is imperative to place the correct strategies & plans in place to fortify zones of weakness.
