The document discusses trauma from occlusion (TFO) in the periodontium. It defines TFO as injury to the periodontal tissues when occlusal forces exceed the tissues' adaptive capacity. TFO can be primary, from altered forces on normally supported teeth, or secondary, from normal/excessive forces on teeth with reduced support. The document reviews studies on the role of occlusion in periodontal disease and the stages of tissue response to increased forces. It provides guidance on clinical detection of TFO and treatment considerations like occlusal adjustment or splinting.

In periodontology, classifications are widely used to categorize defects due to periodontitis according to their etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
Several classifications have been proposed in the literature in order to facilitate the diagnosis of gingival recessions.
Periodontitis is a complex infection initiated by bacteria –tissue destruction.
Host: the organism from which a parasite obtains its nourishment/ an individual who receives a graft
Modulation: the alteration of function or status of something in response to a stimulus or an altered physical or chemical environment
Phase I periodontal therapy is the first in the chronologic sequence of procedures that constitute periodontal treatment. It is also referred to as cause related therapy or non-surgical periodontal therapy.
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.

Occlusion, in a dental context, means simply the contact between teeth. More technically, it is the relationship between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth when they approach each other, as occurs during chewing or at rest.
Malocclusion is the misalignment of teeth and jaws, or more simply, a "bad bite". Malocclusion can cause a number of health and dental problems.
Static occlusion refers to contact between teeth when the jaw is closed and stationary, while dynamic occlusion refers to occlusal contacts made when the jaw is moving. Dynamic occlusion is also termed as articulation. During chewing, there is no tooth contact between the teeth on the chewing side of the mouth.
Centric occlusion is the occlusion of opposing teeth when the mandible is in centric relation. Centric occlusion is the first tooth contact and may or may not coincide with maximum intercuspation. It is also referred to as a person's habitual bite, bite of convenience, or intercuspation position (ICP). Centric relation, not to be confused with centric occlusion, is a relationship between the maxilla and mandible. Dr Harshavardhan Patwal , Malocclusion is the result of the body trying to optimize its function in a dysfunctional environment. It can be associated with a number of problems, including crooked teeth, gum problems, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and jaw muscles. Teeth, fillings, and crowns may wear, break, or loosen, and teeth may be tender or ache. Receding gums can be exacerbated by a faulty bite. If the jaw is mispositioned, jaw muscles may have to work harder, which can lead to fatigue and or muscle spasms. This in turn can lead to headaches or migraines, eye or sinus pain, and pain in the neck, shoulder, or even back. Malocclusion can be a contributing factor to sleep disordered breathing which may include snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, and / or sleep apnea (apnea means without breath). Untreated damaging malocclusion can lead to occlusal trauma.
Some of the treatments for different occlusal problems include protecting the teeth with dental splints (orthotics), tooth adjustments, replacement of teeth, medication (usually temporary), a diet of softer foods, TENS to relax tensed muscles, and relaxation therapy for stress-related clenching. Removable dental appliances may be used to alter the development of the jaws. Fixed appliances such as braces may be used to move the teeth in the jaws. Jaw surgery is also used to correct malocclusion.

Periodontio-integrated implants: A revolutionary conceptMinkle Gulati
Though the fields of regenerative dentistry and tissue engineering have undergone significant
advancements, yet its application to the field of implant-dentistry is lacking; in the sense that
presently the implants are being placed with the aim of attaining osseointegration without giving consideration to the regeneration of periodontium around the implant. The following article reveals the clinical benefits of such periodontio-integrated implants and reviews the relevant
scientific proofs. A comprehensive research to provide scientific evidence supporting the feasibility of periodontio-integrated implants was carried out using various online resources such as PubMed, Wiley-Blackwell, Elsevier etc., to retrieve studies published between 1980 and 2012 using the following key words: “implant,” “tissue engineering,” “periodontium,” “osseo-integration,” “osseoperception,” “regeneration” (and their synonyms) and it was found that in the past three
decades, several successful experiments have been conducted to devise “implant supported by the periodontium” that can maintain form, function and potential proprioceptive responses similar to a natural tooth. Based on these staunch evidences, the possibility of the future clinical use of such implant can be strongly stated which would revolutionize the implant dentistry and will be favored by the patients as well. However, further studies are required to validate the same.
Is the Physiological Mobility of the Teeth Disturbed Because Of the Retainer...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Abstract: In Orthodontics The Stability Of The Achieved Result Remains A Fundamental Issue Of Concern And Debate. Tirk Has Said “The Result Of Orthodontic Therapy – Good, Bad Or Indifferent Is Only Evident Many Years Out Of Retention” . Maintaining Teeth In Their Corrected Positions After Orthodontic Treatment Has Been And Continues To Be A Challenge . Usually A Retention Phase Is Required After Active Orthodontic Tooth Movement To Hold Teeth In Its Ideal Aesthetic And Functional Relation And Prevent The Teeth To Return To Their Former Position.Fixed Appliance Therapy Often Lasts Several Years. Gladness About Debonding Is Great And The Patient Consider The Occasion As The End Of Treatment Many Times. Patients As Well As Their Parents Often Underestimate The Importance Of The Following Retention Period And How Quickly Negligences In This Part Of Treatment Result In Recidivisms. Fixed Retainer Guarantee A Good Long-Term Stability At Least As Long As They Are In Situ. The Reliable Attachment Of Lingual Retainers With Modern Bonding Procedures Made Them A Popular Retention Method. To Test Their Influence On Tooth Mobility Or Damping Quality The Presented Study Was Performed With A Dynamic Test Procedure (Periotest).
Keywords: Fixed Orthodontic Retainer, Retention, Retainers, Relapse, Stability.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
These simplified slides by Dr. Sidra Arshad present an overview of the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract.
Learning objectives:
1. Enlist the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract
2. Briefly explain how these functions are carried out
3. Discuss the significance of dead space

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
2. Healthy periodontium and
occlusion
PDL and A.bone depends on the functional occlusal
forces
Factors influencing adaptive capacity of the periodontium
to occlusal forces are:
Magnitude
Direction
Duration & frequency
HKES S.N. Dental college
3. What is Trauma from occlusion ?
When occlusal forces exceeds the adaptive capacity of
the periodontal tissues, the tissue injury results that is
called as TFO.1
Occlusal trauma is a injury resulting in tissue changes
within the periodontal attachment apparatus as a result of
occlusal forces.2

2. Glossary of periodontal terms, AAP, 2001.
HKES S.N. Dental college
4. Varieties of occlusal trauma
1. Primary TFO
Traumatic injury results due to
altered occlusal forces applied to a
tooth or teeth with normal
periodontal support
HKES S.N. Dental college
5. 2. Secondary TFO
Tissue injury resulting from
normal or excessive
occlusal forces applied to a
tooth or teeth with reduced
periodontal support
HKES S.N. Dental college
8. Association of periodontal destruction with excessive
occlusal forces was first reported in 1901 by Karolyi
In 1917, Stillman- occlusal forces must be controlled
Controversies !!!
Is there any role of excessive occlusal force on periodontal
disease initiation and progression?
How to evaluate occlusal forces?
At what point forces become “excessive”?
When should treatment be initiated and how should be
accomplished?HKES S.N. Dental college
9. Review of studies done on animal
models or Human autopsy material
Oraban & Weinmann (1933)
and Weinmann et. al. (1941)
using human autopsy
material, concluded that
occlusal forces play no part in
periodontal destruction
Glickman et al. (1962)
proposed Glickman’s concept
using dogs and Rh monkeys
HKES S.N. Dental college
10. Waerhug (1979) examined relationship between subgingival
plaque and morphology of osseous defects
Waerhug’s concept:
‘Plaque front’ followed the morphology of the bony defect
He refused ‘zone of co-destruction’
Infrabony defect occurs when subgingival plaque level has
reached more apical compared to subgingival plaque level of
adjacent tooth

absence and presence of plaque
HKES S.N. Dental college
12. Review of human studies and clinical
trails
Pihalstorm et al. (1986) studied association between
association of TFO and Periodontitis
Teeth with TFO (hypermobility and widened PDL
space) had deeper PDs, CAL and less bone support
than teeth without these symptomes
McQuire et al. (1996) studied parafunctional habits
and periodontitits
HKES S.N. Dental college
13. Burgett et al. (1992)
• Studied effect of
occlusal adjustment in
the treatment of
periodontitis
• occlusal adjustments
showed gain in CALs
Harrel and Nunn (2001)
•Examined advanced
periodontitis patients with
occlusal discrepancies
•Slowing of progression
of periodontal destruction
with occlusal therapy
HKES S.N. Dental college
14. Conclusion of studies
1. In healthy periodontium, no relation of occlusal trauma in
initiation of gingival recession, pocket depth and loss of
CAL
2. In teeth with progressive plaque associated disease,
enhance the rate of progression of the disease (act as a
co-destructive risk factor)
3. Correction of occlusal discrepancy can restore
periodontium to normal health
HKES S.N. Dental college
16. Three stages given by Carranza FA Jr,
(1970)
Stage I: Injury
Ligament is widened at the
expense of bone
Angular bone defects without
pocket formation
Tooth mobility
Areas most susceptible to injury are
furcations (Glickmen et al. 1961)
HKES S.N. Dental college
17. Stage II: Repair
Trauma stimulates increased reparative activity
Buttressing bone formation
Central buttressing- endosteal bone
Peripheral buttressing may lead to shelf like thickening
of the alveolar margin, reffered to as “Lipping”
HKES S.N. Dental college
18. Stage III: Adaptive remodelling of the
Periodontium
When repair process can’t keep pace with
destruction- remodelling occurs to create a
structural relationship
Thickened funnel shaped PDL at creast
Angular defects in bone with no pockets
Involved tooth becomes loose

20. Analysis of occlusal relationship as a part of
comprehensive periodontal examination
But, What to include in occlusal analysis ?
1. Initial contact in centric relation
(retruded position of mandible)
2. Centric occlusion
HKES S.N. Dental college
21. 3. check for pattern of occlusion according to Angle’s
classification
4. detection of overbite, overjet and cross bite
5. Detection of fremitus
6. Attrition and location of wear facets
HKES S.N. Dental college
22. Check for Occlusal Stability
1. maximum intercuspal position
• Light or absent anterior contacts
• Well-distributed posterior contacts
• Coupled contacts between opposing teeth
• Cross tooth stabilization
• Forces directed along long axis of each tooth
2. Smooth excursive movements without interferences
3. Favorable subjective response to occlusal form and functionHKES S.N. Dental college
27. To maintain periodontium in comfort and function
Treatment considerations
Occlusal adjustment (coronoplasty)
Management of parafunctional habits
Temporary, provisional or long term stabilization of mobile
teeth with splinting and removable or fixed appliances
Orthodontic tooth movement
Extraction of selected teeth
Ultimate goal of therapy
HKES S.N. Dental college
28. Indications of coronoplasty
1. To reduce traumatic forces to teeth exhibiting
increasing mobility
2. To achieve functional relationship in restorative and
orthodontic treatment
3. To reshape teeth contributing to soft tissue injury
4. To adjust marginal ridge relation and cusps that are
contributing to food impaction
HKES S.N. Dental college
34. Adell et al. (1981) and Lindquist et al. (1988)-
considered excessive loading as most common reason
for implant loss
Sagara et al. (1993) early loading may impede
successful osseointegration
Isidor et al. (1997) tested non axial forces on implants
and found to be a risk factor for osseointegration
HKES S.N. Dental college
35. Bone reactions to functional loading
Berglundh et al. (2005) studied reaction of peri-implant
bone after long standing functional loading compared
to non-loaded controls.

37. Excessive occlusal loads on implants
Heitz-Mayfield et al. (2004) did experimental Dog study using
two Titanium plasma sprayed implant and two sandblasted acid
etched implants on each side of the mandible

40. When TFO is eliminated, reversal of bone loss occurs,
except in the presence of periodontitis. (inflammation
inhibits the potential for regeneration )

41. In the absence of inflammation, the response to TFO is
limited to adaptation to the increased forces.
In the presence of inflammation, changes in the shape of
the alveolar crest may be conducive to angular bone
loss, and existing pockets may become infrabony.

42. Occlusal therapy reduces the excessive loading of teeth
that have lost bone to periodontal disease
Clinician should develop the skill to diagnose occlusal
status, use splints for occlusal stability, and develop the
techniques of occlusal adjustment
Many patients will benefit when occlusal therapy include
as a part of the overall periodontal treatment protocol.
