Percussion tests for periodontitis by tapping the teeth. Mobility testing grades tooth mobility on a scale from 0-3. Thermal testing uses heat and cold to assess pulp vitality.
This document provides information on examining the ear. It discusses examining different parts of the ear including the pinna, external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, and eustachian tube. It outlines what to inspect and palpate for each area as well as common abnormalities. Functional examination of hearing is also described including voice testing, Rinne's test, Weber test, and bone conduction tests to evaluate air and bone conduction. The goal of examination is to evaluate for symptoms of pain, discharge, hearing loss and determine if any anatomical abnormalities or functional hearing issues exist.
The National Program for Prevention and Control of Deafness aims to reduce hearing loss in India. It was initiated in 2007 in 25 districts and expanded to 203 districts by 2012, with plans to cover all states/UTs by 2017. The program's objectives are to identify, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate those with hearing loss. It implements strategies like training healthcare workers, increasing diagnostic capabilities, and raising public awareness about prevention through various outreach activities. At the national level, an oversight committee provides leadership and support. State and district level committees monitor implementation and resources.
Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

7. Dacryocystitis
• Definition – inflammation of lacrimal sac is called dacryosystitis.
• Types –Congenital
- Acquired -Acute dacryosystitis
-Chronic dacryosystitis
Acute dacryosystitis
Definition – acute suppurative inflammation of the lacrimal sac characterized by
presence of painful swelling in the sac region
8. Etiology –
• Causative organism – streptococcus haemolytic , staphylococcus, pneumococcus
• Acute develop in 2 ways
Acute exacerbation of
chronic dacryocystitis
Acute peridacryosititis due to involvement
from infected neighboring structures
(PNS infection, dental abscess, bone
infection)
9. Clinical features
Divided in to 3 stages- stage of cellulitis
- stage of lacrimal abscess
- stage of fistula formation
Stage of cellulitis
- Characterized by painful swelling in lacrimal sac
- Associated with epiphora , fever and malaise
- Red ,hot, firm swelling
Stage of lacrimal abscess
Continues inflammation –occlusion canaliculi –sac filled
with pus – abscess formation
12. Complications
• Acute conjunctivitis
• Corneal abrasion
• Lid abscess
• Lacrimal bone – osteomyelitis
• Orbital cellulitis
• Rarely cavernous sinus thrombosis
Treatment
Stage of cellulitis

13. Stage of Abscess
t/t of stage of cellulitis
Pus point – drain with small incision
DCT/DCR Sx – depend on condition
Stage of Fistula formation
Fistulectomy along with DCT/DCR
14. CHRONIC DACRYOCYSTITIS
- More common than the acute
Etiology
- Multifactorial disease
- Due to stasis of vicious cycle mild infection for long duration
• Age – 40 to 60 yr age group
• Sex – common in female
• Heredity – due to facial configuration
• Socioeconomical status – lower
Predisposing factors
15. Cause of stasis of tear in lacrimal sac
• Anatomical cause – narrow bony canal , fold in NLD
• FB in sac
• Excessive lacrimation
• Obstruction of NLD by nasal polyp, DNS , Atrophic rhinitis etc.
Causative organism – streptococci ,pneumococci ,staphylococci
Source of infection – conjunctivitis, rhinitis , PNS infection
16. CLINICAL STAGES

Stage of lacrimal mucocele
Stage of chronic suppurative dacryocystitis
Stage of chronic fibrotic sac
17. Stage of chronic catarrhal dacryocystitis
• Mild infection of sac associated with NLD blockage
• Symptoms – watering of eye is only symptoms
• Regurgitation – clear fluid / mucoid flake
Stage of lacrimal mucocele
• Chronic stagnation – distension of lacrimal sac
• Symptoms – constant epiphora with swelling below the inner cantus
• Regurgitation test – gelatinous mucoid flake
Encysted mucocele – due to chronic infection –both canaliculi blocked – large swelling
seen at the inner canthus with negative regurgitation
18.
19. Stage of chronic suppurative dacryocystitis
• Pyogenic infection – mucoid discharge become purulent
• Mucocele converted into pyocele
• Symptoms – epiphora associated with recurrent conjunctivitis
and swelling below inner canthus
• Regurgitation – purulent discharge
Stage of chronic fibrotic sac
• Repeated infection – thickening of mucosa – fibrotic sac
• Symptoms – epiphora with discharge
20. Treatment
• Conservative treatment – repeated syringing in early case
• Balloon catheter dilation – useful in partial NLD blockage
• DCR
• DCT – when DCR is contraindicated
24. Watering of eye
INTRODUCTION
It is characterised by overflow of tear from conjunctival sac.
Occurs due to excess secretion of tears (Hyper lacrimation)
or result from obstruction to the outflow of tear path (Epiphora).
25. • Hyper lacrimation-
• Primary Hyper lacrimation direct stimulation ( lacrimal tumour , cyst)
Drug effect of gland
• Reflex Hyper lacrimation Stimulation of sensory branch 5th nerve
Lid- Stye, Hordeolum, Meibomitis, Trichiasis, Concretion.
Conjunctiva- Conjunctivitis.
Cornea- Corneal abrasion, Ulcers, Keratitis.
Sclera- Scleritis, Episcleritis.
Uveal tissue- Iritis, Cyclitis, Iridocyclitis, Acute glaucoma.
• Central lacrimation- Occur in emotional condition.
26. Cause of Epiphora-
1. Physiological cause- Lacrimal pump failure due to lower lid laxity or
weakness of orbicularis muscle.
2. Mechanical cause
-Punctal cause- -Erosion of lower punctal - lid laxity
- Punctal obstruction
-Canaliculi cause- - Canaliculitis (most common)
- Congenital & Acquired
EPIPHORA
-Lacrimal Sac- Dacryocystitis, Traumatic stricture, FB.
-Nasolacrimal duct- -Congenital- Non canalization, Partial canalization.
- Acquired- Traumatic strictures and Inflammatory
stricture.
27. 1. Slit lamp diffuse examination- Rule out the cause of Reflex,
Hyper lacrimation of cornea, conjunctiva, lid, sclera, uveal
tissue.
2. Regurgitation Test- Mucopurulent secretion-Indicates chronic
Dacryocystitis
Clinical evaluation of watering eye-
3. Fluorescein dye disappearance test
• normally- no dye in sac
• obstruction – retention of dye
4. Lacrimal syringing test
• normally- saline came in to throat/nose
• obstruction –no fluid passes
5. Jone dye 1/2
6. dacryocystography

36. Non-pigmented tumours
I. Congenital: dermoid and lipodermoid
II. Benign: granuloma, papilloma, fibroma .
III. Premalignant: intraepithelial epithelioma
(Bowen's disease).
IV. Malignant: epithelioma or squamous cell
carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma.
TUMOURS OF THE CONJUNCTIVA
Pigmented tumours
I. Benign: naevi or congenital moles.
II. Precancerous : superficial melanoma
lentigo maligna
(Hutchinson’s freckle).
III. Malignant: malignant melanoma
Classification
37. BENIGN TUMOUR
NAEVUS/CONGENITAL MOLES
• Common pigmented lesions
• grey, brown or black, flat or slightly raised nodules
on the bulbar conjunctiva, mostly near the limbus
• Usally appear during early childhood and may
increase in size at puberty or during pregnancy.
• Malignant change is very rare and when occurs is
indicated by sudden increase in size.
Excision is usually indicated for cosmetic reasons
and rarely for medical reasons.
38. • extensive polypoid, cauliflower-like growth of granulation
tissue.
• Simple granulomas are common following squint surgery,
as foreign body granuloma and inadequately scraped
chalazion.
Treatment consists of complete surgical removal.
Simple granuloma
• It is benign polypoid tumour usually occurring at inner
canthus, fornices or limbus.
• It may resemble the cocks comb type of conjunctival
tubercular lesion.
It has a tendency to undergo malignant change and hence
needs complete excision.
Papilloma
39. • Usually occurs at the transitional zones i.e. at limbus and the lid
margin.
• The tumour invades the stroma deeply and may be fixed to
underlying tissues.
Treatment.
Early cases treated by complete local excision combined
In advanced and recurrent cases radical excision including
enucleation Or postoperative radiotherapy.
Fibroma
It is a rare soft or hard polypoid growth usually occurring in lower fornix
Squamous cell carcinoma (epithelioma)
40. • It may invade the conjunctiva from the lids or from the plica
semilunaris or caruncle.
• it responds very favourably to radiotherapy,
the complete surgical excision
Basal cell carcinoma
• It may present as pigmented mass near limbus or on any other part of
the conjunctiva.
• It spreads over the surface of the globe and rarely penetrates it.
• Distant metastasis occurs elsewhere in the body, commonly in liver.
Treatment. Once suspected, enucleation or exenteration is the treatment
of choice, depending upon the extent of growth.
Malignant melanoma
44. It is a subacute or chronic inflammation of the lid margins.
It is an extremely common disease which can be divided into following
clinical types:
1. Seborrhoeic or squamous blepharitis,
2. Staphylococcal or ulcerative blepharitis,
3. Mixed staphylococcal with seborrhoeic blepharitis,
4. Posterior blepharitis or meibomitis, and
5. Parasitic blepharitis.
BLEPHARITIS
45. Seborrhoeic or squamous blepharitis
• It is usually associated with seborrhoea of scalp (dandruff).
• Some constitutional and metabolic factors play a part in its etiology. In it,
glands of Zeis secrete abnormal excessive neutral lipids which are split
by Corynebacterium acne into irritating free fatty acids.
Etiology.
Symptoms.
• whitish deposition material at the
lid margin
• mild discomfort
• Irritation
• occasional watering
• falling of eyelashes
46. Signs.
• Accumulation of white dandruff-like scales are seen on the lid
margin
• On removing these scales underlying surface is found to be
hyperaemic (no ulcers)
• lashes fall out easily but are replaced quickly
• General measures - improvement of health and balanced diet.
• Local measures – removal of scales from the lid margin with the help of lukewarm
solution of 3 percent sodabicarb or baby shampoo
- application of combined antibiotic and steroid eye ointment
Treatment.
47. Ulcerative blepharitis
Etiology.
• It is a chronic staphylococcal infection of the lid margin.
• usually starts in childhood and may continue throughout life
• Chronic conjunctivitis and dacryocystitis may act as predisposing factors
Symptoms.
• chronic irritation
• itching
• mild lacrimation
• gluing of cilia
• photophobia
• symptoms are characteristically worse in the
morning
48. • Yellow crusts are seen at the root of cilia which glue
them together
• Small ulcers are seen on removing the crusts.
• In between the crusts, the anterior lid margin may
show dilated blood vessels (rosettes).
Signs
Treatment.
• Crusts should be removed after softening
• hot compresses with solution of 3 percent soda bicarb
• Antibiotic ointment - after removal of crusts, at least twice
daily
• Antibiotic eyedrops should be instilled 3-4 times in a day.
Avoid rubbing of the eyes
• Oral antibiotics
49. seen in longstanding cases
• Chronic conjunctivitis
• madarosis (absence of lashes)
• Trichiasis
• poliosis (greying of lashes),
• tylosis(thickening of lid margin)
• Recurrent styes is a very common
complication.
Complications
50. it is a meibomian gland dysfunction
more commonly in middle-aged persons with acne rosacea and
seborrhoeic dermatitis.
It is characterized by white frothy (foam-like) secretion
At the lid margin, openings of the meibomian glands become prominent
with thick secretions
Posterior blepharitis (Meibomitis)
Chronic meibomitis
Acute meibomitis
mostly due to staphylococcal infection.
52. Treatment
Expression of the glands by repeated vertical lid massage
Rubbing of antibiotic-steroid ointment at the lid margin.
Antibiotic eyedrops should be instilled 3-4 times.
Systemic tetracyclines for 6-12 weeks remain the mainstay of
treatment of posterior blepharitis.
Erythromycin may be used where tetracyclines are contraindicated.
53. Chronic blepharitis associated with Demodex folliculorum infection
and Phthiriasis palpebram.
Chronic blepharitis characterized by presence of nits at the lid margin
and at roots of eyelashes
Treatment
Mechanical removal of the nits with forceps
Rubbing of antibiotic ointment on lid margins
Delousing of the patient, other family members, clothing and bedding.
Parasitic blepharitis
