Evaluation of anterior and overall tooth size ratios by Bolton's analysis in North Eastern Indian population
Conclusion It would be useful in diagnosis and treatment planning for the subjects with malocclusion in this reason. It would also aid in comparing with the standard Bolton's values. Also, both the ratios derived from the sample can be applied irrespective of gender. (Source: Journal of Pierre Fauchard Academy (India Section))

Exploring the potential of segmental T-loop in two different clinical situations
This report describes the successful orthodontic treatment of two cases of highly placed canine with different clinical situations using segmental T-loop. The objective of this study was to evaluate the modification in T- loop on differently angulated canine. Orthodontic treatment of highly placed canine is justified as its aberrant position may damage the roots of adjacent teeth. In addition to it, functional occlusion and esthetic balance are achieved after orthodontic treatment. Malocclusion with severe crowding is difficult to treat without extraction as it compromises the patient's profile. Cases were managed with ext...

Role of molar in anterior proclination of teeth – A retrospective study
Conclusion 1) Molar position in maxillae is affected by various factors and its position has an effect on Anterior proclination with 0.4% decrease in interincisal angle for every unit increase in molar position which is statistically significant. 2) Anterior occlusion is dependent on posterior occlusion,hence a stable posterior occlusion is a requisite for stability of occlusion. 3) Since the Anterior occlusion varies with Posterior occlusion other modalities of treatment like distalization of molars and TAD's to decrease anchor loss can be an alternative/addition to extraction protocol respectively.

Management of ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) —Review and report of two cases
Publication date: Available online 14 April 2017 Source:Journal of Pierre Fauchard Academy (India Section) Author(s): Gaurav Bakutra, Shivlal Vishnoi, Jinal Desai, Vidhi Soni Ankyloglossia or tongue-tie is a congenital anomaly characterized by an abnormally short lingual frenum, which restricts mobility of the tongue. Though ankyloglossia is not a serious condition, it may lead to various problems including infant feeding difficulties, speech disorders, and various mechanical and social issues related to the inability of the tongue to protrude. Hence, management of ankyloglossia should be done irrespective of age, co...

Opinions, knowledge and strategy towards occlusal dental caries diagnosis and its management among the undergraduate dental students in Tamil Nadu
Conclusions The results of this study show gap in caries education in our system, this is mainly because of relying on older and outdated method of caries detection and classification. Management strategy of caries lesion is also greatly towards only restoration of tooth, with very little emphasize on either caries risk assessment or remineralization strategy.
