The treatment of Class III malocclusions consists mainly of repositioning the mandible posteriorly, advancing maxilla or both. [1] Since maxillary and mandibular surgical procedures are equally predictable and stable, a differential diagnosis and a corresponding treatment plan are most important.[2,3] Stability is dependent upon appropriate assessment of the patient in three planes of space- the anteroposterior, the vertical, and the transverse. To check the accomplishment of Pre-surgical objectives, a check model is often needed. We have devised a fairly simple technique of checking the Maxillo-mandibular relation intraorally, which is difficult in Class III and open bite cases.

Animal bite wounds pose a challenge for surgeons because of the varying character of organisms present at the surgical site that gets transmitted from the animals saliva.also due to the short stature of childrens , they are more vulnerable for such accidents.the nature of such wounds is unpredictable. These wounds pose a higher risk of getting infected superimposed with the nature of devitalized tissue present. Thorough cleansing of the surgical site, meticulous but not overzealous debridement, primary closure, proper antibiotic therapy, tetanus injection ,rabies immunoglobulin and administration of rabies vaccination where indicated remains the gold standard of treatment for animal bite wounds. Here we present and discuss the management of a facial dog bite wound in a 2 year old child and the outcome following the treatment. Key words: Dog Bite, Rabies Prophylaxis.

Myoepithelial cells are smooth muscle like cells having epithelial origin. They are present in salivary glands, mammary gland, sweat gland and lacrimal gland. Myoepithelial cells are stellate or spindle shaped with 4 to 8 cytoplasmic processes. They play vital role during expulsion of saliva and regulates the electrolytic exchange. They also act as tumor suppressor and are considered very important role in differentiation of various salivary gland tumors and help in diagnosis of tumors. Key words: Myoepithelial cell, Salivary gland tumor, Pleomorphic Adenoma

Soft-tissue lasers have numerous applications in orthodontics, including gingivectomy, frenectomy, operculectomy, papilla flattening, uncovering temporary anchorage devices, ablation of aphthous ulcerations, exposure of impacted teeth, and even tooth whitening. As an adjunctive procedure, laser surgery has helped many orthodontists to enhance the design of a patient’s smile and improve treatment efficacy. Before incorporating soft-tissue lasers into clinical practice, the clinician must fully understand the basic science, safety protocol, and risks associated with them. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview regarding safe and proper use of soft-tissue lasers in orthodontics. Key words: Laser, Orthodontics.

Treatment of Angle’s Class I malocclusion with its varied manifestations presents us with different situations for which we have to formulate a treatment plan tailor-made to the particular patient. This particular patient presents us with severe proclination and spacing of upper anteriors which had affected her profile and lip competence considerably. Treatment goal was attained by restoring normal overjet and overbite thus improving not only the function but also enhancing her profile which was her major concern at the start of treatment. Key words: Angle’s Class I malocclusion, Proclination, Lip trap swallow, Incisor Classification.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of storing three months in organic media (coffee) on color stability of a nano resin based composite with novel monomer when compared with conventional one. Methods: Initial color was recorded for specimens fabricated from nano resin based composite with novel monomer and conventional one. Specimens were stored at 37 C in coffee, for 3 months. Color changes were categorized using the CIE Lab color system. Data were submitted to analysis of variance for repeated measures, one-way ANOVA test (a = 0.05). Results: The methacrylate-based resins based composites with novel monomers stored in coffee were significantly more stable by coffee than conventional methacrylate- based composites. They showed that ΔE of Venus Diamond (ΔE= 4.816 ± 0.568) was less than ΔE of Filtek Z350 XT (ΔE= 6.067 ± 0.725). There were no significant changes observed in ΔE both Venus Diamond composite and Filtek Z 350 XT. (P =0.05). Conclusions: There were a slight effect of the immersion solution was noticed on color change in one of highest aggressive organic beverage materials. Color stability is material dependent. Key words: Color changes, Beverages, Resin based composite, TCD- monomer.

As new materials and processing techniques are steadily being introduced, the technological evolution of ceramics for dental applications has been remarkable. The interest of dental research in metal-free restorations has been rising following the introduction of innovative all-ceramic materials in the daily practice. In particular, high strength ceramics and related CAD/CAM techniques have widely increased the clinical indications of metal-free prostheses, showing more favourable mechanical characteristics compared to the early ceramic materials. The purpose of the present paper is providing a brief review on the all-ceramic dental materials from their evolution to their revolution. Key words: Dentistry; ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, zirconia, aesthetics.

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of a new multi-directional power toothbrush in reducing plaque when compared to a standard manual toothbrush control in a single brushing design. Methods: This was a randomized, replicate use, single-brushing, two-treatment, double blinded crossover clinical trial at a single center. Qualified subjects entered an acclimation phase, after which they were randomly assigned to one of four treatment sequences specifying the order of use of the two test toothbrushes: a novel multi-directional power toothbrush with a 2-D drive and an American Dental Association (ADA) reference soft manual brush. Subjects used each brush twice over the course of the trial. At each of the four period visits, after abstaining from oral hygiene for 24 hours, participants received a baseline (pre-brushing) Turesky Modification of the Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (TMQHPI) examination. They then brushed under supervision with the brush assigned for that period for 2 minutes (multi-directional power brush) or as customary (manual brush control). Subjects were then re-examined for TMQHPI post-brushing to determine the plaque removal efficacy of the respective brushes. A washout phase of 2-5 days separated treatment periods. Results: All 36 randomized subjects completed the study and were fully evaluable. Both the multi-directional power and manual control brushes produced statistically significant mean whole mouth TMQHPI plaque reductions compared to baseline (P< 0.001). Comparing the brushes, the power brush provided a 7.9% significantly superior mean whole mouth plaque reduction relative to the manual brush control (P= 0.003). Conclusion:Thus for those patients desiring both a recognizable manual-like brushing experience and robust cleaning, the new multi-directional power toothbrush supplies the requested familiarity combined with significantly better plaque removal efficacy for improved gingival health. Key words: Power toothbrush, plaque, manual toothbrush.

The technology is now available to run a practice almost paper free. It is theoretically possible to store clinical notes, photographs, and radiographs; and study models on disc, and refer or consult online. In recent years, it has developed significantly into the major dental branch, currently used by the increasing number of dentists and dental technicians worldwide. Digitalization has become a part and parcel of contemporary prosthodontics with the probability of most of the procedures being based on the digital techniques in the near future. X rays or photographs, making impressions, recording jaw movements or fabricating prosthesis, educating and training new dentists or patient motivation for practice build up; all has become digital. CAD-CAM was first patented in dentistry followed by various other technologies like CT, CBCT. It has revolutionized not just the ceramic technology, but has also been used for the CAD-CAM implant surgeries, maxillofacial prosthesis and diagnostic splints. Key words: Prosthodontics, Digitization, CAD/CAM Technology, CBCT, Optical Impression.
