Diagnostic Challenge Involving Diffuse Mandibular Swelling in Mixed Dentition: Use of Cone-beam Radiography.

Aim And Objective: This case report aims to discuss a case of chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis (COPP) in which cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) played a key role in the diagnosis and identification of the disease.

Background: Osteomyelitis is frequently seen in the maxillofacial region, with the mandible being more affected as compared to the maxilla. Chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis is often seen in children and young adults, which occurs due to the spread of infection from a bacterial focus.

Oral Health Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices among Postgraduate Students of Panjab University, Chandigarh: A Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Dental caries and periodontal diseases are the most commonly occurring dental problems. Proper knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAPs) of oral health of young adults will help in prevention of these diseases.

Aim: To comparatively evaluate the oral health KAPs related to oral health of postgraduate students of Panjab University, Chandigarh, with respect to gender and different departments.

Recurrent Kawasaki Disease Presenting to Dentists: "Think Beyond Dentition".

Aim: To create awareness of Kawasaki disease in the dental community as it is a rare disease and some cases might go unnoticed due to lack of knowledge of the treating dentist. Thus proper knowledge helps in the timely diagnosis of the disease and decrease the mortality rate in these patients. Children who show the oral features of this disease should be treated seriously by the dentist.

Effect of oral health behavior and demographic variables on gingival health in 11-16-year-old school children in Chandigarh, India: A cross-sectional study.

Aims: The aims of the present study were to assess the prevalence and pattern of gingival bleeding on probing (BOP) and to evaluate the effect of oral health behavior and demographic determinants on gingival health in 11-16-year-old school children in Chandigarh, India.

Methods: A cross-sectional study, using stratified random sampling, was conducted across two age groups, 11-13 years and 14-16 years, and two socioeconomic strata: upper and lower. The World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Health Questionnaire for Children was used to record the data, and the WHO Community Periodontal Index (modified) was used to assess gingival BOP.

Multidisciplinary approach to the rehabilitation in management of child with early childhood caries: a case report.

The aesthetic requirement of severely mutilated primary anterior teeth in case of Early Childhood Caries (ECC) has been a challenge to paediatric dentists. ECC involves the upper anterior teeth early in life and by the time the dentist sees the child, most of the coronal structure is lost. This article presents the clinical sequence of rehabilitation of maxillary anterior primary teeth, and the mandibular posterior teeth.

Goldenhar syndrome.

Goldenhar syndrome is a syndrome of complex structures developing from first and second branchial arches during blastogenesis. The etiology of this rare disease is not fully understood, as it has shown itself variable genetically and of unclear causes. The disorder is characterized by a wide spectrum of symptoms and physical features that may vary greatly in range and severity from case to case.

Unusual foreign bodies in the orofacial region.

Foreign bodies may be deposited in the oral cavity either by traumatic injury or iatrogenically. Among the commonly encountered iatrogenic foreign bodies are restorative materials like amalgam, obturation materials, broken instruments, needles, and so forth. The discovery of foreign bodies in the teeth is a special situation, which is often diagnosed accidentally.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor: As an unusual mandibular manifestation.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare odontogenic tumor which is often misdiagnosed as odontogenic cyst and accounts for about 1% until 9% of all odontogenic tumors. It is predominantly found in young and female patients, located more often in the maxilla in most cases associated with an unerupted permanent tooth. It is a benign (hamartomatous), noninvasive lesion with slow but progressive growth.

Brachman de Lange syndrome.

Brachman de Lange syndrome or Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a genetic disorder which can lead to severe developmental anomalies. It affects both the physical and intellectual development of a child. It is characterized by skeletal, craniofacial deformities, gastrointestinal and cardiac malformations.

Management of a case of ectodermal dysplasia: a multidisciplinary approach.

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a rare disorder involving 2 or more of the ectodermal structures, which include the skin, hair, nails, teeth, mucus glands, and sweat glands. Each person with ectodermal dysplasia may have a different combination of defects. The most common form of ED is linked to the X chromosome and usually affects men.

Glass fibre-reinforced composite post and core used in decayed primary anterior teeth: a case report.

Aesthetic requirement of severely mutilated primary anterior teeth in the case of early childhood caries has been a challenge to pediatric dentist. Among restorative treatment options, prefabricated crown and biological and resin composite restoration either by means of direct or indirect technique are mentioned in the literature. This paper presents the clinical sequence of rehabilitation of maxillary anterior primary teeth.

A comparative evaluation of the fracture strength of pulpotomized primary molars restored with various restorative materials.

Sixty extracted primary molars were used in the study. After pulpotomy, these were divided into four groups on the basis of restorative materials to be used. Results showed that the Ormocer had the maximum fracture strength while the posterior Glass Ionomer Cement showed the least fracture strength among the various restorative materials used in the study.
