Proximal Tibial Fracture in Pseudo-Rheumatoid Synovial Chondromatosis: A Case Study.

Introduction: Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia is an autosomal recessively inherited rare disorder with features of growth retardation, multiple joint deformities, and intra-articular loose bodies.

Case Report: This case study is about a 34-year-old man who presented to us following trauma to his right leg. On general assessment, he was short statured with multiple deformities of both upper and lower limbs with local signs suggestive of proximal tibial fracture over his right tibia.

Superlubricity and Stress-Shielding of Graphene Enables Ultra Scratch-Resistant Glasses.

Glasses, when subjected to scratch loading, incur damages affecting their optical and mechanical integrity. Here, it is demonstrated that silica glasses protected with mechanically exfoliated few-layer graphene sheets can exhibit remarkable improvement in scratch resistance. To this extent, the friction and wear characteristics of silica glasses with exfoliated graphene using atomic force microscopy (AFM) are explored.

Incorporating ion-specific van der Waals and soft repulsive interactions in the Poisson-Boltzmann theory of electrical double layers.

Electrical double layers (EDLs) arise when an electrolyte is in contact with a charged surface, and are encountered in several application areas including batteries, supercapacitors, electrocatalytic reactors, and colloids. Over the last century, the development of Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) models and their modified versions have provided significant physical insight into the structure and dynamics of the EDL. Incorporation of physics such as finite-ion-size effects, dielectric decrement, and ion-ion correlations has made such models increasingly accurate when compared to more computationally expensive approaches such as molecular simulations and classical density functional theory.

Comparison and Evaluation of Attitude and Knowledge Towards the Management of Dental Injury in School Teachers Before and After Oral Health Education.

Background: Dental traumatic injuries are prevalent in school-going children. Therefore, It is critical to ascertain the knowledge and practices of school teachers who are in close contact with these children.

Aim: To evaluate the knowledge and attitude of school teachers toward dental trauma and the effect of the educational intervention.

Eruption Chronology in Children: A Cross-sectional Study.

Aims And Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate reference standard for eruption timing of primary teeth in infants and preschool children of Bhopal city and to determine the role of various factors affecting the eruption of primary dentition.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the infants and preschool children (4-36 months) attending the local government or private hospitals, and vaccination centers. Prior to the study, Institutional Ethical Committee clearance and informed written consent from the parents were obtained.

Erosive effects of pediatric liquid medicinal syrups on primary enamel: An comparative study.

Context: The use of liquid medicinal syrups in childhood is high owing to the reasons that children suffer from illness quite often. The acidic component in the formulations may cause erosion to the dental tissues.

Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the erosive potential of pediatric liquid medicinal syrups on the deciduous teeth.

Assessment of nickel release from various dental appliances used routinely in pediatric dentistry.

Context: The use of nickel-containing alloys in dentistry has been questioned because of the biological liabilities of nickel and the release of nickel ions from dental appliances into the oral cavity. The potential health hazards of nickel and chromium and their compounds have been the focus of attention for more than 100 years. It has established that these metals could cause hypersensitivity.

Frequency of Addictive Habits and its Association with Oral Diseases Among a Cross Section of Indian Police Personnel Connotation.

Objective: To assess the frequency of adverse addictive habits, specially alcohol and tobacco usage, among police personnel of Bhopal City, Central India and its association with the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and periodontal diseases.

Study Design: Across-sectional analytical study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Bhopal City, Capital of Madhya Pradesh State, Central India, from February to April 2013.

Knowledge of evidence-based dentistry among academic dental practitioners of Bhopal, India: a preliminary survey.

This study aimed to characterize the knowledge of evidence-based dentistry (EBD) among dental faculty members in the city of Bhopal in central India. A cross-sectional questionnaire was administered at two dental colleges in Bhopal City. All dental faculty members who were present on the day of the study and who agreed to participate were included in the study.

Dental trauma and mouthguard awareness and use among contact and noncontact athletes in central India.

We investigated the associations of mouthguard awareness and use with the rate and type of orofacial trauma during sports activities among professional athletes. In this cross-sectional study of athletes aged 12 to 22 years who trained for participation in national and international competitions, data were collected by using a questionnaire and a clinical examination that included an index of dental injury. There were significant differences in mouthguard awareness and use and injury rates, i.

The oral health status of patients with renal disease in central India: a preliminary study.

Aim: To compare prevalence of caries and periodontal disease amongst patients on renal dialysis with healthy individuals.

Materials And Methods: A case-control study was conducted amongst 30 cases and 30 controls. Patients who were diagnosed with renal disease were included as cases and systemically healthy individuals as controls.
