This document provides an overview of gingival and periodontal diseases in children. It begins with an introduction stating that many periodontal diseases originate during childhood, so early detection and treatment are important. It then covers topics such as the normal periodontium in children, classifications of gingival diseases including gingivitis, acute gingival diseases like herpetic gingivostomatitis, and gingival enlargement. It also discusses periodontitis, specifically aggressive periodontitis which can occur in adolescents, as well as systemic diseases associated with periodontal problems. The conclusion emphasizes that early detection and treatment of periodontal issues in children can prevent more advanced diseases and also identify underlying systemic conditions.
Splinting is one of the oldest forms of aids to periodontal therapy. By redistribution of forces on the affected teeth the splint minimizes the effects caused by loss of support. Splinting teeth to each other allows weakened teeth to be supported by neighbouring teeth. This presentation reviews the rationale, techniques, advantages and ill effects of stabilization of teeth by splinting as an aid to periodontal therapy. With the acceptance and clinical predictability of adhesive procedures, the use of conservative bonding techniques to splint teeth offers a useful alternative to more invasive restorative procedures. Loss of tooth-supporting structures results in tooth mobility. Increased tooth mobility adversely affects function, aesthetics, and the patient’s comfort. Splints are used to overcome all these problems. When faced with the dilemma of how to manage periodontally compromised teeth, splinting of mobile teeth to stronger adjacent teeth is a viable option. This prolongs the life expectancy of loose teeth, gives stability for the periodontium to reattach, and improves comfort, function and aesthetics.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. Introduction
• Periodontal diseases peak their destructive stages in
the middle age , but many of them have their
inception during childhood.
• The early detection and early treatment are
important from a preventive aspect since, the
prevention of most periodontal diseases are
relatively simple and very effective, providing lifetime
benefits.
3
5. • The clinical and radiographic images of gingiva
and periodontium in children and adolescent
differ from those seen in adults, owing to the
significant changes taking place during growth
and development.
• The periodontium during childhood and puberty
is in constant state of change owing to the
exfoliation and eruption of teeth.
• This makes a general description of the normal
periodontium difficult because it varies with age
of the patient. (Baer and Benjamin, 1974)

12. Gingivitis
• Dental plaque induced gingival inflammation is
the most common form of gingivitis.
• It is characterized by inflammation of gingival
tissues without loss of attachment or bone.
• Local factors contributing to gingivitis in
children
• Crowded teeth
• Orthodontic appliances

hydrochloride(0.5%)
• Bed rest , soft diet are recommended during the
febrile stage & the child should be kept well
hydrated.
• Pyrexia - paracetamol suspension and secondary
infection of ulcers may be prevented using
chlorhexidine.
• In severe case, systemic acyclovir(200 mg daily for 5
days).
20
21. Recurrent aphthous ulcer

• Elevation in temperature
• Increased pulse rate, leukocytosis, loss of
appetite, and general lassitude
• Systemic reactions are more severe in
children, insomnia, constipation, GIT
disorders, headache etc.
27
28. • Treatment:
• Perform debridement under local anesthesia.
• Remove pseudomembrane.
• Patient counselling should include specific oral
hygiene instructions, instruction on proper nutrition,
• For any signs of systemic involvement, the
recommended antibiotics are:
o Amoxicillin, 250 mg 3 x daily for 7 days and/or
o Metronidazole, 250 mg 3 x daily for 7 days
28
30. • Clinical features:
• Pearly white or bluish white plaque present on
oral mucosa which may extend to circumoral
tissues.
• Painless and noticed on careful evaluation. They
may be removed with little difficulty.
• Patient may complain of burning sensation.
30
31. • Treatment:
• Infants and very young children
• Nystatin 1ml (100,000U) dropped in to
mouth for local action four times a day.
• Clotrimazole suspension (10mg/ml) 1 to 2
ml applied over affected areas four times
daily
• Systemic fluconazole suspension
(10mg/ml) 6mg/kg body weight
31
33. Chronic inflammatory gingival
enlargement
• Long standing gingivitis in young patient
sometimes results in chronic inflammatory
gingival enlargement, which may be localized or
generalized.
• Etiology:
• Prolonged exposure to plaque
• Factors that favour plaque accumulation and
retention.
• Chronically dried gingiva in mouth breathing
33
34. • Clinical features:
• Characterized by slight ballooning of interdental papilla
and marginal gingiva.
• In early stage , it produces a life preserver-shaped bulge
around the involved teeth.
• Treatment:
• Removal of local irritants
• Oral hygiene maintenance
34
35. Acute inflammatory enlargement
• Gingival abscess
• Is a localized, painful rapidly expanding lesion that is
usually of sudden onset
• Etiology:
• Irritation from foreign substance
• Tooth brush bristle
• Piece of apple core
• Lobster shell fragment –embedded in to gingiva
35
36. • Clinical feature:
• Localized, painful, rapidly expanding lesion
• Limited to the marginal gingiva or interdental
papillae
• Early stage: red swelling with smooth shiny
surface
• With in 24 hours to 48 hours- lesion will be
fluctuant.
• Management: Incision and drainage
36
37. Drug-induced gingival enlargement
• Drug-induced gingival enlargement:
• Anticonvulsant
• Immunosuppressant cyclosporine
• Calcium channel blocker
• Clinical and microscopic features of enlargement
caused by different drugs are similar.
37
38. • Clinical features:
• The growth starts as a painless, beadlike enlargement
of the interdental papilla and extends to the facial
and lingual margins.
• As the condiiton progress, marginal and papillary
enlargment units and may develop into a massive
tissue fold.
• May interfere with occlusion.
38
39. Treatment modalities
Mild – < 1/3
of clinical
crown
oral hygiene maintenance and frequent
dental care
Moderate-
1/3 to 2/3 of
clinical
crown
oral hygiene
Antiplaque mouthrinse
4 consecutive weekly office visits for
prophylaxis, 5th week- evaluate the gingiva
If no improvement – surgical correction
Severe –
> 2/3 of
clinical
crown
If does not respond above treatment.
Surgical correction is done -meticulous
oral hygiene is essential .
Surgical procedure:- gingivectomy, laser,
or electrosurgery.
39
40. Ascorbic Acid Deficiency Gingivitis
• Associated with vit C deficiency
• Involves marginal and papillary gingiva in the
absence of local predisposing factors
• Complains of severe pain and spontaneous
hemorrhage
• Treatment: Complete dental care, improved dental
hygiene, and supplementation with vit C – improves
gingival conditions
40
41. Eruption Gingivitis
• Gingivitis associated with tooth eruption.
• Tooth eruption usually does not cause gingivitis,
however inflammation associated with plaque
accumulation around erupting tooth.
• perhaps secondary to discomfort caused by brushing
these friable areas, may contribute to gingivitis.
• Treatment: Complete dental care, improve oral
hygiene.
41
43. • It is inflammatory disease of gingiva and deeper
tissues of periodontium.
• Characterized by pocket formation and destruction of
supporting alveolar bone.
• Periodontal probing for attachment loss and bitewing
radiograph are often used to clinically confirm the
diagnosis.
43
44. • According to Delaney, in preschool children with
periodontitis, recession, gingival erythema, and
oedema are not usually found unless the child is
neutropenic.
• Bimstein and Colleagues demonstrated abnormal
alveolar bone resorption in 7.6% of 4yr old children
and 5.9% of 5yr old children with high caries.
• In its classification of periodontitis, the American
Academy of Periodontology categorized the early-
onset form under Aggressive Periodontitis.

45. Aggressive periodontitis
• Albander and associates proposed the term early-onset
periodontitis.
• This term is replaced by aggressive periodontitis following
the classification given by American Academy of
Periodontology in 1999.
45
Page and colleagues believe that
there are four different forms of
periodontitis : prepubertal,
juvenile, rapidly progressing and
adult.
46. COMMON FEATURES OF LAP AND GAP
• Aggressive forms of periodontal disease have
been defined based on the following primary
features (Lang et al. 1999)
Non-contributory medical history
Rapid attachment loss and bone destruction
Familial aggregation of cases
46
48. • Prevelence is 1%
• It is linked to presence of Actinobacillus
actinomycetemcomitans and successful
treatment outcomes correlate well with
eradication of bacteria.
• Treatment : local measures in combination with
systemic antibiotic therapy.
48
49. Generalized aggressive
periodontitis (GAP):
• It sometimes occurs in adolescents and
teenagers.
• Characterized by generalized interproximal
attachment loss affecting at least three
permanent teeth other than incisor and first
molar.
49
51. 51
• A combined regimen of regular SRP with 2-week
course of systemic tetracycline therapy (250
mg, four times daily) .
• Aa is sensitive to tetracycline, which also has
the ability to be concentrated up to 10 times in
gingival crevicular fluid when compared with
serum.
Treatment:
52. 52
• A combination of metronidazole (250 mg) &
amoxicillin (amoxycillin) (375 mg), three
times a day for 8 days, in association with
subgingival scaling, has also been found to be
effective.
• A more radical approach is to undertake flap
surgery so that better access is achieved for
root cleaning, and the superficial, infected
connective tissues are excised.
• An antimicrobial regimen can also be
implemented in conjunction with a surgical
approach.
53. Systemic diseases and conditions
with associated periodontal
problems
• Diabetes
• Down syndrome
• Hypophosphatasia
• Neutropenia
• Leukemia
53
54. Conclusion
• The early detection and treatment of periodontal
problems in children and adoloscents are
important for
1. Incipient periodontal diseases in children may develop
into advanced periodontal diseases in children.
2. Severe periodontal destruction in children may be
related to underlying systemic pathology.
• Education and motivation of children regarding
proper maintainence of periodontal health is the
simplest and most effective way for prevention of
periodontal diseases in the adult life.

Younger children have less plaque, and gingiva appear to be less reactive to the same amount of plaque.
Uncommon in early primary dentition.
Orthodontic applainces r associated with incresed plaque retention and incresed bleeding on probing.
Gingivitis is quick reversible and can be treated with a good oral prophylactic treatment
Gingivitis is generally less severe in children than in adults with similar plaque levels.
When gingivitis is establilshed, initial acute response is accompnied by chronic inflammation with lymphocytic and plasma cell accumulaiton, capilary formation, and collagen destruction.
This too can be reversed by initial therepy but will require a longer period for gingival tissue to heal and restore lost collagen fibers.
In some patients gingivitis proceeds to periodontitis , which is more difficult to treat. Therefore clinician must be vgilant to detect the early stage of gingivitis and carry out effective measures to prevent the progression of disease.

scorbic acid is needed for accelerating hydroxylation and amidation reactions. In the synthesis of collagen, ascorbic acid is required as a cofactor for prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase. These two enzymes are responsible for the hydroxylation of the proline and lysine amino acids in collagen. Hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine are important for stabilizing collagen by cross-linking the propeptides in collagen. Defective collagen fibrillogenesis impairs wound healing. Collagen is an important part of bone, so bone formation is affected. Defective connective tissue leads to fragile capillaries, resulting in abnormal bleeding.
AP is used as a generic term to describe a heterogenous grp of periodontal disease occuring in younger individual who are otherwise healthy.
AP can be viewed as 2 categories of periodontits that may have overlapping etiologies and clinical presentations.
It is also called localized juvenile periodontitis, is
characterizd by the loss of attachment and bone around the permanent incisors and first permanent molars
Attachment loss is rapid, 3 times the rate of chronic disease.
