Adolescent toothbrushing and the home environment: sociodemographic factors, family relationships and mealtime routines and disorganisationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The study shows that the family and home environment should play a central role in the promotion of oral health, through mealtime routines, incorporating a fair parenting style and developing open and positive family relationships. Not only are these strongly associated with twice a day toothbrushing but, unlike sociodemographic factors, they may be relatively easy to adopt. (Source: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology)

Sectional Impression Tray and Sectional Denture for a Microstomia PatientEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Microstomia presents a unique challenge to the patient. Patients with microstomia who must wear removable dental prostheses often face the difficulty of being unable to insert or remove the prosthesis because of the constricted opening of the oral cavity. A completely edentulous patient, who developed microstomia along with Raynaud's phenomenon induced by scleroderma, is presented. This clinical report describes a quick and easy method for fabrication of a sectional custom impression tray connected by press button and a sectional complete denture retained by magnets. A sectional denture that provides ease in placement and ...

Oral lichen planus versus oral lichenoid reaction: Difficulties in the diagnosisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Do Prado Renata Falchete, Marocchio Luciana Sassa, Felipini Renata CallestiniIndian Journal of Dental Research 2009 20(3):361-364Lichen planus (LP) is a mucocutaneous disease with well-established clinical and microscopic features. The oral mucosa and skin may present clinical and microscopic alterations similar to those observed in LP, called lichenoid reactions (LRs), which are triggered by systemic or topical etiological agents. The difficulties faced to establish the differential diagnosis between the two pathologies were investigated in the literature. It was observed that the etiology of LP is still under discussion,...

Quantification of betel quid chewing and cigarette smoking in oral cancer patientsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: On average, it took two decades of betel quid chewing and cigarette smoking before oral cavity cancer diagnosis, making the life-time consumption of these substances an astonishing amount. Betel quid chewing and cigarette smoking patients are more likely to be diagnosed with oral cavity cancer at a younger age than those who have just one habit or none. Patients that smoke more are not only more likely to be diagnosed at a younger age, but also at an advanced stage. (Source: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology)

Khan Mubeen, Chandramala Rupa, Sharma Ridhima, Vijayalakshmi K RIndian Journal of Dental Research 2009 20(3):380-384Ionizing radiation has been known to induce malignant transformation in human beings. Radiation-induced sarcomas are a late sequel of radiation therapy. Most sarcomas have been reported to occur after exposure to a radiation dose of 55 Gray (Gy) and above, with a dose ranging from 16 to 112 Gys. Spindle cell sarcomas, arising after radiotherapy given to treat the carcinoma of head and neck region is a very uncommon sequel. This is a rare case report of spindle cell sarcoma of left maxilla, in a 24-year-old ma...

Localization of impacted permanent maxillary canine using single panoramic radiographEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion : A single panoramic radiograph can serve as a reliable indicator for determining the bucco-palatal position of the impacted canines when they lie in the middle and coronal zones. When they lie in the apical zone it is recommended to explore their presence with other conventional or advanced imaging modalities.

Sivapathasundharam B, Saraswathi T R, Manjunath K, Sriram GIndian Journal of Dental Research 2009 20(3):388-389Rhinosporidiosis is a benign chronic granulomatous infection caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi. Rhinosporidiosis is endemic in south Asia, notably in southern India and Sri Lanka. Majority of the cases have been reported to occur in upper respiratory sites, notably anterior nares, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, larynx and soft palate. Only two rare cases of involvement of parotid duct, have been reported in literature. Hence, this case will probably be the third to be reported. (Source: Table of Contents : Indian Journ...

Socioeconomic factors in adolescents' oral health: are they mediated by oral hygiene behaviors or preventive interventions?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: There is an SES gradient in caries experience in adolescents in Pennsylvania. Disparities in caries experience, however, cannot be accounted for by SES-associated differences in brushing, flossing, sealant use, fluoride exposure, or recency of use of dental services. To facilitate the design of preventive interventions, future research should determine the pathways through which SES-associated disparities occur. (Source: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology)

Caries and background factors in Norwegian and immigrant 5-year-old childrenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Caries prevalence in 5-year-olds was strongly associated with parent-related factors signifying that information on parents' socioeconomic status, dental behaviours and attitudes should be considered when planning dental services for young children. Our results suggest that the real high risk group is non-western children whose parents have low education. (Source: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology)

A comparative evaluation of DIAGNOdent with visual and radiography for detection of occlusal caries: An in vitro studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Sridhar N, Tandon S, Rao NirmalaIndian Journal of Dental Research 2009 20(3):326-331Background: The diagnosis of dental caries is fundamental to the practice of dentistry. Despite the fact that dental caries has declined considerably, it is still a problem of great importance. The reduction in caries prevalence has not occurred uniformly for all the surfaces. The greatest reduction was observed at lesions located on smooth surfaces, so that occlusal caries are most common in children. Aim: The purpose of this study is to dete...
