This review aimed to evaluate interventions for managing external root resorption in permanent teeth. No randomized controlled trials meeting the inclusion criteria were identified. External root resorption has various classifications and causes, including trauma, orthodontic treatment, and pressure from adjacent teeth. Potential treatments include root canal treatment, surgery to remove resorbed tissue, splinting mobile teeth, and extraction. However, there is no consensus on managing different forms of external root resorption due to a lack of high-quality evidence. Future research is needed in the form of randomized controlled trials.
Determinanats Of Visual Outcomes After Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery I...Dr. Jagannath Boramani
This document summarizes a study conducted at HV Desai Eye Hospital in Pune from July 2015 to June 2016. The study aimed to identify reasons for refractive surprises after cataract surgery by examining surgical variables, biometry variables, and spectacle variables. It involved 500 patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery. The results showed that 23.34% of patients had uncorrected visual acuity less than 6/18 after surgery, with post-operative astigmatism being the most important factor. Using optic scans, improving incision sites, and toric IOLs can help reduce astigmatism and improve uncorrected visual acuity.
Determinants Of Visual Outcomes After Small Incision Cataract Surgery In Pati...Dr. Jagannath Boramani
This study assessed the best-corrected visual acuity 6 weeks after small incision cataract surgery in 443 patients without ocular comorbidities. The results found that 39.73% of patients had visual acuity less than 6/18, while 60.27% had visual acuity greater than 6/18. The major factors affecting poor visual outcomes were biometric calculations, astigmatism, the grade of cataract, and the experience of the operating surgeon. The study concluded that controlling surgically-induced astigmatism through accurate preoperative measurements and planning incision size and position can help improve visual outcomes after small incision cataract surgery.

Clinical accuracy outcome of open and closed trayimpressionsNavneet Randhawa
This study was a randomized controlled trial that compared the use of toluidine blue dye to a placebo for oral cancer screening among individuals with high-risk oral habits. Over 7,000 participants were randomized to either receive toluidine blue during their oral exam or a placebo. Examiners found a higher rate of positive initial screens in the toluidine blue group, but after referral to a pathologist, there was no significant difference in detection of oral premalignant lesions or non-premalignant lesions between the groups. No difference was found in oral cancer incidence rates over 5 years of follow-up. The study concluded that toluidine blue did not significantly improve detection of asymptomatic oral premalignant lesions compared to

4250 patients . This study comprises data from patients who attended the O.P.D.2200 patients between Jun. 2006 to Dec
2013. Patients were examined in order to detect the impacted maxillary canines by intraoral examination, palpation, dental
records and followed by radiographs. It was found that the prevalence of canine impaction was 0,8 % (N=4250), 1,6
(N=2200), 43,9 (N-82) in males and 1,1% (N=4250), 2,1 (N=2200), 56,1 (N-82) in females suggesting that prevalence of
impacted maxillary canines is more in females than males and it is statistically significant. The overall prevalence for
maxillary impacted canines was found to be 3,7 % (N=2200) which suggested that it is much higher than previous studies.
The results of this study were slightly different than other studies, while the dissimilarities may be attributed to the sample
selection, method of the study and area of patient selection, which suggest racial and genetic differences.

SUMMARY
CPITN is a screening procedure for identifying actual and potential problems posed by periodontal diseases both in the community and in the individual, introduced in 1982.
The CPITN records the common treatable conditions namely,
- periodontal pockets
- gingival inflammation
- dental calculus
- other plaque retentive factors
CPITN PROBE (introduced by WHO in 1978) is used to measure of pocket depth & detect sub-gingival calculus.
COMMUNITY PERIODONTAL INDEX (CPI) is the modification of CPITN which includes measurement of “loss of attachment”
This study assessed the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among 200 dentists in India through a questionnaire. The questionnaire also used the Rapid Entire Body Assessment scale to evaluate dentists' postures. The results showed:
- 57.5% of dentists reported experiencing musculoskeletal pain
- The most common painful body areas were the back (34%) and neck (26%)
- Higher scores on the Rapid Entire Body Assessment scale, indicating poorer posture, correlated with greater severity of pain
- Factors like lack of exercise, prolonged static postures, and inadequate break times were associated with increased risk of MSDs
The study concluded that Indian dentists have a high risk of developing MSDs due
This study retrospectively analyzed 16 cranioplasty cases performed between 2006-2012 to reconstruct post-traumatic craniofacial defects. The main aims of cranioplasty were to protect the brain, restore aesthetics, and facilitate cranial growth in children. Clinical assessments and imaging were used to evaluate patients. Calvarial bone grafts were harvested and fixed with titanium plates through a bicoronal approach. With a minimum 2-year follow up, results showed patient satisfaction was high with 75-95% aesthetic improvement and minimum scar visibility. Complications included wound infection in 2 cases and plate exposure in 3 cases. The study aims to analyze factors and clinical outcomes of cranioplasty reconstruction of post-tra

This document summarizes a dental case conference regarding a 31-year-old female patient presenting with multiple invasive cervical resorptions. Examination found lesions on several teeth. The differential diagnosis included dental caries and root resorption. Further radiographic examination and consultation with a radiologist supported a diagnosis of multiple invasive cervical resorption. This type of resorption is rare in humans but similar to a condition seen in cats caused by feline viruses. The patient confirmed contact with cats, one of which had recent dental issues, supporting possible transmission of a virus. Treatment options for this condition were discussed.
The document discusses root resorption, including causes, types, and management strategies. It notes that avulsions and luxation injuries are common causes of dental trauma leading to root resorption. There are various types of root resorption including internal resorption, external resorption, replacement resorption, and invasive/cervical resorption. Key cells involved in the resorption process are monocytes, macrophages, osteoclasts and odontoclasts. Current strategies for managing root resorption include calcium hydroxide, enamel matrix derivatives, topical alendronate, and calcitonin. Prevention is emphasized as better than cure, including identifying and eliminating underlying causes and promoting
Root resorption /certified fixed orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy Indian dental academy
This document discusses root resorption, which is the loss of tooth structure over the root surface due to physiologic or pathologic processes. It begins by classifying root resorption by type, location, and severity. It then focuses on orthodontically induced root resorption, discussing the biology and risk factors involved like tooth movement type, force type, root shape, and patient characteristics. The document concludes that while root resorption is an iatrogenic risk of orthodontic treatment, orthodontists should take measures to reduce its occurrence.
Presentation about Internal, or non-vital bleaching, will updated more in the future hopefully.
This presentation aims to introduce basic principles, agents, and other details of internal bleaching, as it is one of the ways to achieve the conservative approach in modern dental care.
This document discusses various types of root resorption including their causes, characteristics, diagnosis and treatment. It describes internal and external root resorption, further dividing external resorption into surface, inflammatory, replacement and invasive types. The key causes are trauma, pressure from impacted teeth or tumors, and systemic conditions. Diagnosis involves history, clinical exams, and radiographs to identify patterns of tooth structure loss. Treatment aims to arrest the resorptive process through root canal therapy or surgery depending on the type and severity.
Dental caries is defined as a localized pathological process caused by acids produced by bacteria in dental plaque that leads to demineralization of tooth hard tissues. Diagnosis of caries involves detecting lesions, assessing activity, and determining risk factors to identify lesions requiring treatment and persons at high risk. A variety of tools can be used for caries diagnosis including visual inspection, fiber-optic transillumination, and diagnostic technologies assessing properties like fluorescence. The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) provides a standardized visual method for caries detection and assessment and has demonstrated validity though performance varies depending on tooth type and surface.
types and classification of dental implantsDesa Ghanavi
This document discusses types and classifications of dental implants. It describes 5 main classifications: 1) based on implant design, which includes blade, root form, subperiosteal, transosteal, and intramucosal implants; 2) based on attachment mechanism, which includes fibrointegration and osseointegration; 3) based on body design, including cylindrical, threaded, plateau, perforated, solid, and hollow implants; 4) based on surface, such as smooth, machined, textured, and coated surfaces; and 5) based on material, including metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and carbon implants. Key advantages of implants include maintaining bone height/width and improved stability, retention, and esthetics
This document provides clinical practice guidelines for orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. It discusses evidence-based dentistry and levels of evidence. It outlines considerations for pretreatment examinations, diagnostic records, referrals, and diagnosis/treatment planning. It describes diagnostic and treatment considerations for various anomalies including jaw size, tooth position, arch form, and dentition. It addresses treatment objectives/limiting factors, risks, outcomes assessment, retention, and record keeping including transferring patients between practitioners.
Introduction. The differences in the supporting structure of the implant make them more susceptible to inflammation and bone
loss when plaque accumulates as compared to the teeth. Therefore, a comprehensive maintenance protocol should be followed
to ensure the longevity of the implant. Material and Method. A research to provide scientific evidence supporting the feasibility
of various implant care methods was carried out using various online resources to retrieve relevant studies published since 1985.
Results.The electronic search yielded 708 titles, out of which a total of 42 articles were considered appropriate and finally included
for the preparation of this review article. Discussion. A typicalmaintenance visit for patients with dental implants should last 1 hour
and should be scheduled every 3 months to evaluate any changes in their oral and general history. It is essential to have a proper
instrument selection to prevent damage to the implant surface and trauma to the peri-implant tissues. Conclusion. As the number
of patients opting for dental implants is increasing, it becomes increasingly essential to know the differences between natural teeth
and implant care and accept the challenges of maintaining these restorations.
2009 A novel decision making for tooth extraction or conservation.pdfKaterineRiquelme3
This document presents a decision-making chart to help clinicians determine whether to extract or retain a compromised tooth. The chart contains 6 levels of factors to consider, ranging from initial patient assessment to periodontal disease severity. Each factor is assigned a color (green, yellow, red) to indicate the likelihood of successful long-term retention. If a tooth receives mostly red or a combination of red and yellow ratings, extraction is recommended. The chart is meant to guide clinicians through an analysis of all relevant factors to make the best decision for each individual tooth and patient.

Non-surgical adjunctive interventions for accelerating tooth movement in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment by Ahmed El-Angbawi, Grant T McIntyre, Padhraig S Fleming, David R Bearn ppt
This document summarizes a meta-analysis on the incidence of root resorption after replantation of avulsed teeth. It finds that the incidence of root resorption is high, with replacement root resorption being the most common at 51%, followed by inflammatory root resorption at 23.2% and surface root resorption at 13.3%. Internal root resorption is relatively rare at 1.2%. The studies showed maxillary incisors were most affected and that the risk of different types of root resorption depended on factors like the stage of root development and treatment of the tooth. Limitations included heterogeneity between studies and lack of standardization.
- There is no good evidence that orthodontics causes or cures temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Extracting teeth for orthodontic reasons does not inevitably alter a patient's facial profile. Better quality research is still needed in many controversial areas of orthodontics.

The studies showed maxillary incisors were most affected and that the risk of different types of root resorption depended on factors like the stage of root development and treatment of the tooth. Limitations included heterogeneity between studies and lack of standardization.
- There is no good evidence that orthodontics causes or cures temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Extracting teeth for orthodontic reasons does not inevitably alter a patient's facial profile. Better quality research is still needed in many controversial areas of orthodontics.

The document summarizes an agenda and presentations for a Cochrane Oral Health Group Editors' and Clinical Advisors' meeting that covered topics such as the role of editors, prioritizing review topics, introducing the MECIR standards, screening reviews for quality, and working through an example flossing review to discuss the abstract, risk of bias assessment, outcomes, summary of findings, and consistency across reviews. The National Institute for Health Research is the largest funder of the Cochrane Oral Health Group.
This case report describes immediate placement of a dental implant in the socket of an extracted fractured maxillary incisor tooth. The tooth was extracted atraumatically without flap reflection and the implant was immediately placed, achieving primary stability. A provisional restoration was placed for temporization. At the 4 month follow-up, an impression was made and a definitive restoration placed. The patient exhibited no clinical or radiographic complications after 1 year of follow-up, demonstrating that immediate implant placement can preserve hard and soft tissues while providing immediate esthetics, function, and comfort.
This meta-analysis evaluates the reliability of published evidence on regenerative endodontic procedures. It summarizes clinical and radiographic findings from studies on treating non-vital immature permanent teeth using regenerative techniques. The analysis finds good success rates for tooth survival and pathology resolution, but variable results for outcomes like apex closure and root development. Regenerative procedures are improving but factors important for success remain unclear, indicating more research is needed.
This document summarizes the results of an analysis conducted by an international panel on the treatment of ureteral calculi. The panel reviewed literature on various treatment modalities and analyzed outcomes data to develop guidelines. Key findings include:
1) Shock-wave lithotripsy (SWL) and ureteroscopy (URS) remain the primary treatment options for symptomatic ureteral stones when removal is needed.
2) Medical expulsive therapy (MET) can help facilitate spontaneous stone passage.
3) Outcomes like stone-free rates, number of procedures, and complication rates varied significantly between studies for each treatment.
4) Guidelines were developed covering treatment recommendations for stones of different sizes
This document summarizes the results of an analysis conducted by an international panel on the treatment of ureteral calculi. The panel reviewed literature on various treatment modalities, including observation and medical therapy, shockwave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and open or laparoscopic surgery. Based on the available data, the panel estimated outcomes like stone-free rates, number of procedures, and complication rates for each treatment. The results provide guidance on recommending certain treatments over others for patients with ureteral stones based on stone size and location.
This document discusses orthognathic surgery, including indications, history, etiology, and the process of diagnosis and treatment planning. Key points include:
- Orthognathic surgery combines orthodontics and oral surgery to correct jaw and facial deformities. It is indicated when skeletal problems are too severe for orthodontics alone.
- Diagnosis and treatment planning involves collecting patient records, facial and cephalometric analysis, and determining the problem list and possible solutions.
- Psychological factors like unrealistic expectations, body image, motivation, and personality can influence patient satisfaction with results. Careful patient evaluation and counseling is important.
- The overall process involves compiling a database, classifying the problem,
This document provides an overview of trends in endodontic treatment toward a more minimalistic, tissue-preserving approach known as "bio-minimalism." Recent developments discussed include:
1) Advances in instrumentation and imaging technologies like nickel-titanium files, microscopes, and cone-beam CT that improve access and debridement while minimizing tissue removal.
2) Shifting access cavity designs toward greater dentin preservation and a more constrained outline to minimize cuspal flexure.
3) New obturation materials like bioceramics that provide antimicrobial properties and sealing without requiring large tapers or excess removal of inner root structure.
4) Moving beyond traditional concepts to evaluate shifts in protocols based
“Comparative Evaluation between Physics Forceps and Conventional Extraction F...inventionjournals
:Tooth extraction procedure, although known as a minimal traumatic procedure, some sort of trauma is subjected to underlying soft and hard tissues, resulting in immediate destruction and loss of alveolar bone. Conventional extraction forceps are designed on the principle of simple machine incorporating two first-class levers, connected with a hinge. The physics forceps are the newly invented forceps. The design of physics forceps which implements a first class lever, creep, and type of force that provides a mechanical advantage, which makes it more efficient. AIM: The aim of the present study to evaluate the efficacy between the conventional extraction forceps and physics forceps in orthodontic extraction of maxillary premolars. Patients & Methods:A total of 50 healthy patients with indicated for extraction of bilateral maxillary premolar for orthodontic reasons; split mouth design (control side, test side) in a randomized manner; were included in the present study. Results:Ease of technique, buccal cortical plate fracture, fracture of tooth or root, gingival laceration, soft tissue healing was not significant. The extraction time and bleeding associated with extraction socket were significant. Post operative days 1-4 are not significant and on day 5-7 the pain on VAS score is 0. Conclusion:The results of present study suggest that, extraction using any forceps can produce predictable results and it totally depends on surgeon’s expertise in a particular technique.
This review analyzed 6 studies with a total of 375 participants comparing the effectiveness of alginate dressings to other wound dressings for healing diabetic foot ulcers. The review found no significant differences between alginate dressings and basic wound contact dressings or foam dressings in the number of ulcers healed. There was also no significant difference found between a silver hydrocolloid dressing and an alginate dressing. All studies had short follow-up periods of 6 to 12 weeks and small sample sizes. The review concluded that there is currently no evidence that alginate dressings are more effective for healing diabetic foot ulcers than other dressings.
Management of fractured endodontic instruments in root canalMohammed Sa'ad
1) The document discusses management of fractured endodontic instruments in root canals. It notes that instrument fracture can occur due to factors like canal curvature, anatomical variations, practitioner experience, and torque/speed of rotation.
2) The presence of a separated instrument alone may not compromise prognosis unless it prevents adequate disinfection and obturation. Successful retrieval depends on factors like tooth anatomy, instrument shape/size, equipment used, and clinician skill.
3) Guidelines are suggested for managing separated instruments, including attempting retrieval, bypassing, or referring for surgery. The ethical responsibilities of practitioners are also discussed.
