Aim: To analyze the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice among dental practitioners working in dental clinics towards standard infection control protocol.Materials and methods: This pilot study was a cross-sectional survey conducted on 42 dental practitioners working in Jaipur, Rajasthan. A questionnaire with three parts (knowledge, attitude, and practice) was filled by direct interview or by email to the participants. The answers was compiled and subjected to analysis.Results: The survey was completed by 42 (70%) of 60 potential respondents. The mean ± SD scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice towards standard isolation precautions were 8.24 ± 1.39, 39.45 ± 3.76, and 4.19 ± 2.46 from the maximum scores of 10, 50, and 10, respectively.Conclusion: Isolation protocol is loosely followed among dental professionals. Having knowledge and positive attitude towards infection control guidelines did not guarantee that the same were followed.

Gingival recession can cause aesthetic problems, discomfort for cervical dentin hypersensitivity and can be treated by connective tissue grafts. This case report used subepithelial connective tissue graft to treatment class I Miller recession in premolar lower with abrasion. The premolar were treated by scaling and root planing chemical modification with 24% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), bur shaped reconteur of abrasion lesion and subepithelial connective tissue graft combined with coronal flap. The results provide excellent root coverage, improve the root hypersensitivity and abrasion lesion. Although the longevity of this successful treatment depends on the diagnosis and removal of the causative agent, as well as the patient's cooperation in maintained of oral hygiene.

In recent years, decrease in dentin bond strength of one-step self-etch adhesives after long-term water storage has been reported; however, the flat dentin surface of the extracted tooth has been used to carry out the bond strength tests in the majority of the previous studies. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the micro-tensile-bond-strength (μTBS) of three one-step self-etch adhesives and a two-step self-etch adhesive on the cavity floor dentin after 2.5 years storage in distilled water. Materials and Methods: Adhesives were used in this study: three one-step self-etch adhesives (Primefil, GBOND PLUS and Beauti Bond), and one two-step self-etch adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond), which was used as the control. Bowl-shaped cavities of extracted human incisors were treated with each adhesive and filled with each flowable resin composite from the same manufacturer. The specimens were stored in distilled water at room temperature for two and a half years. The beam samples were made and subjected to μTBS test using the tabletopmaterial- tester. The data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results: The μTBS value of G-BOND PLUS was higher than that of other adhesives; however, the results of ANOVA showed no significant differences in μTBS values among all adhesives. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between one-step and two-step on the bond strength of selfetch adhesives to the cavity dentin floor after a storage period of 2.5 year.
近年来有一步自蚀刻胶粘剂在长期蓄水后牙本质粘结强度下降的报道;然而，在以往的研究中，大多数都是利用拔牙后牙本质的平面来进行粘结强度测试。目的:比较三种一步自蚀胶与两步自蚀胶在蒸馏水中保存2.5年后对牙本质的微拉伸粘结强度(μTBS)。材料与方法:本研究使用胶粘剂:3种一步自蚀胶粘剂(Primefil、GBOND PLUS和Beauti Bond)和1种两步自蚀胶粘剂(Clearfil SE Bond)作为对照。提取的人门牙的碗状腔分别用同一厂家的粘合剂和可流动树脂复合材料进行处理。标本在室温蒸馏水中保存两年半。制作梁样，用台式材料测试仪进行μTBS测试。数据采用单因素方差分析进行统计学分析。结果:G-BOND PLUS的μTBS值高于其他胶粘剂;方差分析结果显示，各胶粘剂的μTBS值差异无统计学意义。结论:一步法与二步法自粘剂在保存2.5年后与牙本质底的结合强度无显著性差异。

Introduction: Cleidocranial dysplasia CCD is a rare genetic disorder connected with mutation in the gene RUNX2. The characteristic feature of this syndrome is a triad of symptoms: hypoplasia or aplasia of clavicles, cranial defects, persistent decidous teeth and multiple supernumerary teeth with consecutive failure in succedaneous teeth eruption. Objective: The aim of the study is to present a CCD patient, in which during orthodontic treatment there was performed a comprehensive hearing test. Case report: The paper presents a 15-year-old patient in whom intraorally there were stated only 4 first permanent molars and 1 lower central incisor while all the remaining teeth were decidous. The CBCT showed 11 impacted supernumerary teeth. Treatment started by surgical exposure and orthodontic traction of the upper incisors into the arch. The introduced fixed appliance seems to be a good solution to pull down impacted anterior teeth. An audiological examination of the patient with CCD revealed normal hearing on the border of norm, however tympanometry may suggest a defect of the auditory ossicles. Conclusion: Active long-term treatment that requires cooperation of many specialists is the correct procedure in CCD cases.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the provision of orthodontic skills among general and pediatric dentists. Methods: The study included 344 subjects, who were given a questionnaire that included information like experience of practice, type of orthodontic appliances used, frequency of orthodontic patients treated yearly, etc. Mean scores of all the questions were calculated using student’s t test and one-way ANOVA test at p value <0.05. Results: In general, percentage of participants practicing orthodontics was 22.1%. It was observed that more number of pedodontists were involved in orthodontic treatment than general dentists. Removable appliances were frequently used for patients. The prevalence of practicing orthodontic treatment was mostly observed in more experienced practitioners. Conclusion: The frequency of providing orthodontic treatment was significantly higher amongst pediatric dentists. However, orthodontic courses should be made available for the dental practitioners for further excellence.

Introduction: Complex root canal anatomies challenge the limits of our skills, techniques, and abilities to clean the root canal system and achieve a successful endodontic outcome. Background: The following case report depicts a first mandibular molar indicated for root canal treatment after diagnosis of pulpal necrosis and asymptomatic apical periodontitis due to caries. Pre-operative radiographic analysis revealed two distinct periapical lesions and a Periapical Index (PAI) Score of 3. Methods: The tooth was accessed for root canal treatment and instrumented to a final apical size of #20. Additional cleaning and disinfection were performed utilizing the GentleWave® System. After the GentleWave® Procedure, the tooth was obturated with gutta-percha and an epoxy resin based sealer by warm vertical condensation and thermoplasticized gutta-percha backfill. Post-operative radiographs revealed a middle mesial canal not previously visualized during instrumentation or prior to performing the GentleWave Procedure. The newly located, uninstrumented, middle mesial canal was filled with sealer. Results: Recall was performed over a 9-month period. Both clinical and radiographic assessments showed complete healing, no clinical signs or symptoms, and a PAI score of 1 at the 9-month recall. This case illustrates healing after root canal treatment utilizing minimal instrumentation and the GentleWave Procedure, suggesting that GentleWave Procedure can clean and disinfect complex root canal anatomy.

Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the results of carbon dioxide laser in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Methods: Thirty six patients (11 men, 25 women) with refractory TN underwent peripheral nerve ablation with CO2 laser using low power defocused mode. Pain intensity was determined by numerical rating scales at preoperation, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-operation. One way ANOVA was used to determine statistical significance. Results: There were significant differences in pain between pre-operation and 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-operation (pain score=9.38 ± 0.91, 3.15 ± 3.24, 1.00 ± 1.41, 0.63 ± 1.18, 0.75 ± 1.16 and 1.63 ± 1.99 respectively; p<0.05). Thirty four patients had some degree of prolonged paresthesia of the effected nerves, while two patients had no sensory alteration but the pain was relieved. Conclusions: Neural ablation with CO2 laser can be an alternative treatment for patients with TN who do not respond to the medical treatment or cannot tolerate the side effects of medication or do not want to have intracranial surgery. The only complication was prolonged paresthesia of the effected nerve. However, further study with a larger group of patients and longer observation period are recommended to evaluate the outcome of this treatment.

Bone resorption often prevents elderly patients from wearing complete mandibular over dentures. This has a negative impact on the quality of life of patients, since it affects their speech, chewing ability and social relationships. Implant-supported over dentures have been proven to be superior to conventional dentures, both in terms of retention and stability. We report the case of an 82 year-old woman with a severely resorbed mandible that was rehabilitated with a 2-implant supported mandibular over denture. According to the reviewed literature, 2-implant over dentures is the preferred treatment for elderly patients with bone resorption due to its simplicity and reliability in the long-term.

Aim: The present study was conducted to access the prevalence of deleterious oral habits among school going children as these practices have a great impact on the dental hard and soft tissues. Methodology: This study was conducted among children aged between 7 to 13 years. The sample was selected from urban and rural schools. A closed-ended questionnaire was used in the survey for collecting the information like age, gender, area of residence and presence of deleterious oral habits. These questions were asked to parents for the habits like bruxism, tongue thrusting, digital sucking, mouth breathing, nail biting and lip biting. Chi-square test compared the frequency of oral habits in relation to age, sex and area. Statistical tests were used at a significance level of p<0.05. Results: It was noticed that bruxism (14.4%) was most common habit followed by mouth breathing (12.6%), digital sucking (9.2%), nail biting (8.3%), lip biting (8.1%) and tongue thrusting (7.2%). Bruxism (4.7%) and tongue thrusting (3.4%) had the highest occurrence in (9 to 11 years) group. Digital sucking (3.6%) and mouth breathing (6.3%) was mostly observed among younger age group (7 to 9 years). However nail biting (4.3%) and lip biting (4.7%) was commonly noticed in older sample. Conclusion: The study observed that bruxism was most frequent habit among children. There was also a variation in the occurrence of oral habits in relation to age.
