“…Space maintainer and space maintenance is an important part of paediatric dentistry as well as a part of interceptive orthodontics (Christabel and Gurunathan, 2015;Jitesh and Mathew, 2019). Interceptive Orthodontics is any procedure that eliminates or reduces the severity of malocclusion in the developing dentition (Mahendran et al, 2017).A space maintainer is an appliance that is custom-made by a dentist or orthodontist in acrylic or metal material. It can be either removable or cemented in a child's mouth.…”

Premature loss of teeth in children leads to space loss and affects arch integrity. Space maintainer and space maintenance is an important part of paediatric dentistry as well as a part of interceptive orthodontics. This study aims to determine the prevalence of band and loop space maintainers among children who are 6-10 years old. Data collection was done from going through 86,000 patient records from June 2019 to April 2020. Total sample size was 44 children who were inserted with a band and loop space maintainer. Chisquare test is done to analyse the significance of the study. The analysis showed that the band and loop space maintainer are more prevalent in 6 year old children and mostly done in female children. The reason for tooth loss was due to extensive caries. However, the study showed positive correlation but there was no significance since p=0.276. Use of space maintainers is an important step in interceptive orthodontics and the study concluded that it is more prevalent in 6 year old children.

Thus, the study aimed in finding out the awareness of recent advances in gingival retraction materials during impression making among UG students.…”

The aim of this survey was to create an awareness on recent advances in gingival retraction materials during impression making. A set of 10 questionnaires were circulated among the undergraduate (UG) students of Saveetha Dental College which was done in an online forum Survey planet to avoid discussion and false results, thereby no bias is evidenced in this study. A response of 100 UG students was collected and datas were entered to an Excel sheet followed by statistical analysis done in SPSS by IBM. The statistical test used is Chi-square test. From the survey we obtained that 66% of the students who attended the survey were third year students, 11% final years and 23% were CRRI. 80% of them were aware of recent advances in gingival retraction materials during impression making, 77% were aware of retraction cord, 76% were aware of the disadvantage of retraction cord, 78% were aware of the time consumption of retraction cord, 69% were aware of gingifoam, 70% were aware of Expasyl paste, 66% of were aware of Comprecap, 69% were aware of magic foam, 59% of them use Comprecap, 75% of them were aware of the expense of advanced materials. There was a significant association between the awareness of recent advances in the gingival retraction materials and year of study (p<0.05). The study concluded that UG students were aware of the recent advances in gingival retraction materials used in impression making which should be used in their daily clinical practice.

“…The outcome of the GBT management is highly unpredictable due to the limited blood supply; also, the procedure requires a high skill set; there is also a high chance of recession post-treatment. (Varghese, 2015;Mahendran et al, 2017).…”

Aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of gingival black triangles (GBT's) and its correlations with the morphology of tooth, labial frenum and probing depth in young adults in the Chennai population. The study was carried out in a university based study setting in Saveetha dental college and hospital among the Chennai population. We have reviewed patient records and analysed the data from 86000 patient records between June 2019 and March 2020. 149 samples were randomly selected for the study (18 – 30 yrs) and photographic analysis from the patient record was carried out to determine the presence of GBT. Prevalence of GBT was found to be 20.8% in the selected population. Within the limits of the study prevalence of GBT was found to be 20.8% there should be more emphasis given on creating awareness about the condition and its possible treatment modalities.
