Gautam Singh - Application of Bayesian Classifier for the Diagnosis of Dental...Gautam Singh
This document describes a study that developed a Bayesian classifier to diagnose dental diseases based on patient-reported pain parameters. Researchers collected data on 14 pain parameters and 10 common dental diseases from 10 dentists evaluating 40 cases each. They analyzed the data, identified significant predictors, and developed a naive Bayesian classifier. They then used a hill climbing algorithm to create a learned Bayesian classifier, which achieved an average accuracy of 72% in diagnosing diseases based on pain parameters alone. This accuracy was seen as clinically useful for dentists.
The document discusses a study assessing patient satisfaction with outpatient services at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Lucknow, India. It outlines the study objectives to evaluate availability and utilization of services, information sources, waiting times, and reasons for (dis)satisfaction among internal and external patients. The methodology section describes a prospective descriptive study using interviews and record reviews involving 701 patients across departments from January to March 2013. Preliminary findings show most patients were female, from Uttar Pradesh, and utilization increasing over 2008-2012 for both internal and external patients.
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between oral hygiene care behavior and oral hygiene status in early adolescents. The study tested a conceptual model using data from 391 students in Thailand. The results showed that the hypothesized causal model was a good fit for the data. Behavioral modification had the strongest direct effect on oral hygiene care behavior. Knowledge, attitudes, perceived threats, and cues to action also indirectly influenced oral hygiene care behavior. The study provides insight into factors that affect oral hygiene practices in early adolescents.

Evaluative Study on The Existing System in a Dental College of Riyadh
Introduction
While it is essential to the practice of healthcare professionals to concern about patient
safety, it is relatively current that it has been transformed into a specific body of knowledge and
therefore patient safety may be considered as a relatively ‘innovative’ discipline. Its core ideas
are to prevent the occurrence of avoidable adverse events (errors, complications and accidents)
accompanying the practice of healthcare and to reduce the impact of unavoidable adverse events.
This is a simple definition for the multifaceted, complexed nature and many key elements in the
practice of patient safety. There are economic, financial, social, cultural and organizational
matters of a patient safety environment that makes it unpractical to simply define it as the
practicing safe health care or protecting patients from harm by health care professionals. It is
essential for all health care professionals and health care organizations to become more
acquainted with the overall framework of patient safety, to dynamically contribute in hard work
to apply patient safety procedures in everyday practice and to create a culture of patient safety
culture (Yamalik & Perea Pérez, 2012).
There is a constant concern and interest in dentistry for matters related to patients and
practicing safe and quality care in the everyday dental practice. Yet, like other health
professions, more attention is given to patient related matters and safety-related matters
(Yamalik & Dijk, 2013).
Furthermore, there is an emerging professional consideration of risk management, patient
safety and handling errors. Rather than hiding them, errors are now understood as learning
material and by that, the number of publications on dental errors are increasing. As an example,

Point-of-Care Testing (PoCT) has dramatically taken over the field of clinical laboratory testing since it’s introduction approximately 45 years ago. The technologies utilized in PoCT have been refined to deliver accurate and expedient test results and will become even more sensitive and accurate in order to dominate the field of clinical laboratory testing. Furthermore, there will be a dramatic increase in the volume of clinical testing performed outside of the laboratory. New and emerging PoCT technologies utilize sophisticated molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction to aid in the treatment of major health problems worldwide, such as sexually transmitted infections (John & Price, 2014).
Historic Timeline
In the early-to-mid 1990’s, bench top analyzers entered the clinical laboratory scene. These analyzers were much smaller than the conventional analyzers being used, and utilized touch-screen PCs for ease of use. For this reason, they were able to be used closer to the patient’s bedside or outside of the laboratory environment. However, at this point in time, laboratory testing results were stored within the device and would have to then be sent to the main central laboratory for analysis.
Technology in the mid-to-late 1990’s permitted analyzers to be much smaller so that they may be easily carried to the patient’s location. Computers also became more ...

Introduction
In this third millennium, dental implants are attractive and more common
therapeutic alternative nowadays. This apparently stands true because a large
number of patients are choosing for this treatment modality. For an accurate
prognosis of implant treatment, correct implant placement is the sole criteria. So,
precise treatment planning for dental implant that considers anatomical structure
and prosthetic requirements is compulsory to guarantee a predictable treatment.1
Also, it diminishes the overall possibilities of anticipated probable post-operative
complications. Ideal dental implant placement facilitates the right institution of
favorable forces on the implants and prosthetic components with acceptable
esthetic outcomes. However, in order to boost the treatment success, it is
necessary that the implants are being surgically placed in the right way. To
ascertain a rational link between diagnosis, prosthetic planning and surgical
phases, use of direction transfer tool is indispensable.2 Therefore; the surgical
template is constructed by the operating personal. The surgical template, if at all
possible, is able to carry radiographic markers. This is done so that it could offer
contrast between the surgical template and sites selected for implant trajectory to
be used in diagnostic imaging. Meanwhile, the American Academy of Oral and
Maxillofacial Radiology has recommended the use of surgical templates with
radiographic markers in conjunction with imaging.3 Glossary of prosthodontic
terms, define surgical template as a guide used to assist in proper surgical
placement and angulations of dental implants. Prosthetically driven implant
prosthesis assures good aesthetics, function and more importantly hygiene
maintenance enabling long time success. Additionally, the main objective of the
surgical template is to direct the implant drilling system and provide accurate
placement of the implant according to the surgical treatment plan. Therefore,
surgical templates have enabled clinician to deliver predictable surgical &
prosthetic rehabilitation.4 Surgical guides have not only decreased the chances of
iatrogenic damage of critical anatomic structures; they also increase the esthetic
and functional advantages of prosthodontic-driven implant.5 The aim of this study
was to evaluate the current knowledge and awareness about surgical template
among general dental practitioner in kanpur, India.

Materials and Methods
The present study was conducted to evaluate the present knowledge and
awareness about surgical template among general dental practitioner in kanpur,
India. It was outlined to finish this study on a cross sectional and questionnaire
model. We studied total 100 private dental practitioners of kanpur city, India. The
contact details of the general dental practitioners were obtained from the registry
of kanpur society/association of dental practitioners. Initially we found that there
were total 255 registered in this society. Out of which, 86 were not actively
practicing, rest remaining was 169. On further examination we found that 69 of
them not responded to our questionnaire efficiently because of various reasons.
Therefore final sample included in the study was total 100 the general dental
practitioners of kanpur city, India. We have analyzed questionnaire response data
of 100 clinicians professionally. We had also pre-formulated the questions of
surgical template knowledge and awareness in a questionnaire format. The
delivery of the questions and their resultant responses was done in the form of an
exclusive close ended questionnaire containing 8 items. Authors had handed over
this questionnaire to the studied clinicians at their work places. Informed consent
was taken from the respondents those were willingly ready for participation. The
significance of this study was explained in detail to all general dental
practitioners. Results thus obtained was tabulated and subjected to basic
statistical analysis. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant (p< 0.05).
Statistical Analysis and Results
Responses which observed from questionnaire work out were sent for statistical
analysis using statistical software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
version 21 (IBM Inc., Armonk, New York, USA). The resulting data was subjected
to suitable statistical tests to obtain p values, mean, standard deviation, chi-
square test, standard error and 95% CI. Table 1 and Graph 1 showed that out of
100 practitioners, males were 65 and females were 35. Total 11 practitioners were
belonging to age group >65 years. 19 practitioners were belonging to the age
range of 41-50 years. 23 practitioners were belonging to the age range of 31-40
years and 61-65 years. P value was significant in group III of age range 51-60
years. Evaluations of knowledge by assessment of the professional degrees were
also attempted (Table 2). More than 75% practitioners were having only
undergraduate degree whereas 22 practitioners were having undergraduate as
well as post graduate degrees. Questionnaire responses revealed significant
outcomes wherein p value was also found to be significant (Table 3). 27
practitioners were unaware of the usage of surgical template. 94 practitioners
think that UG dental curriculum is inadequate regarding surgical template. 60
practitioners think that surgical template must be made mandatory for all dental
institutions. Only 12 practitioners have attended any
CDE/CME/Workshop/Demo/Hands-On on surgical template. Only 16
practitioners have attempted implant osteotomy with surgical template at their
clinic. Table 4 shows basic statistical description with level of significance
evaluation using Pearson Chi-Square Test for all 9 screened questions. Question
no 3 and 5 showed significant levels (p<0.05 significant).

Discussion
Glossary of prosthodontic terms defines surgical template as a guide used to
assist in proper surgical placement and angulation of dental implants. Surgical
guide is the connecting link between what’s in mind (treatment planned) and
what will be executed (treatment).6 Prior determination of the suitable osteotomy
site for the clinician greatly helps the surgical procedure. If the clinician is
considered a pilot, then surgical guide is his navigator.7 Ideal positioning of the
implant facilitates the redirection of favorable forces on the implants and the
prosthetic component as well as ensures an aesthetic outcome.8 Hence, it is
worthwhile to set up a logical continuity between the planned restoration and the
surgical phases. It is also indispensable to use a transfer device that for sure
increases the predictability of success. Implant surgical template has many other
uses like 1) it provide a precise guidance of osteotomy drills at correct position,
angulation and depth 2) guidance of implant fixtures at correct position,
angulation and depth 3) guidance of amount of bone reduction or bone harvesting
whenever necessary.9 Its disadvantages includes 1) template once fabricated, they
usually not allow any manufacture alterations from pre decided position if it is
needed during surgery 2) guide dislocation may be seen in between surgery if the
guide is not stabilized.10 Adrian et al. used self cure acrylic resin to construct
radiographic cum surgical template. He molded lead foil over the maxillary and
mandibular incisors and used lateral cephalogram to cross verify related
parameters.11 Tarlow employed the use of acrylic resin duplicate denture wherein
he adapted vacuum formed thermoplastic matrix (0.02 inch) over duplicate
denture. Such designing dictates accurate implant location and angulations, with
minimal interference to surgical access.12 Espinosa Marino et al. showed the first
clinical use of heat polymerizing acrylic resin in fabrication of the surgical
template particularly for partially missing situations. To make it radio-opaque on
CT, they applied dual curing composite resin mixed with colored chalk.13 Stellino
et al. showed acrylic resin provisional fixed restorations with the use of gutta
parcha as redio-opaque marker.14
Conclusion
Within the limitations of the study authors concluded that studied dentist’s
knowledge and awareness about implant surgical template was at moderate
levels. Because the surgical template is an imperative and effective tool in the field
of oral implantology, frequent educational programs and technique
demonstrations must be organized to update the existing knowledge of clinicians.
The outcomes of this study must be considered as suggestive for anticipating
clinical results of such critical situations.
