Salivary Diagnostics And Its Implementation In Diagnosis Of Covid19 - Review Article
Authors:Dr. Uma Sudhakar, Arputha Madhalan.C, Anupriya.B, Prabakaran.R
AbstractThe coronavirus disease (COVID-19),epidemic started in
Wuhan, caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), has
become a major public health challenge around the world. Here,
saliva diagnostic testing for COVID-19 is essential to controlling
the global pandemic. The use of saliva has various advantages
compared to collection of Nasopharyngeal swab. The close
contacts involved in swab collection have a risk to healthcare
workers, and collection of saliva may reduce this risk. Currently,
rapid testing is taking place with the help of nasopharyngeal,
oropharyngeal swab, bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum, urine,
and blood. Saliva is proving to be a promising non-invasive
sample specimen for the diagnosis of COVID-19, thus helping
to detector the infection and prevent it from further spreading by
prompt isolation. The saliva biomarkers have a prospective to
be an essential guide in COVID-19 prognosis, making possible
the development of sampling procedures. Salivary biomarkers
associated with the development and progression of COVID-19
could allow a better distinction between asymptomatic, mild,
moderate or advanced disease.

Decision Making On The Treatment Of Endo-Perio Lesion (Resective/Regenerative): A Case Series; A Clinical And Radiographical Study
Authors: Shaik Abdul Cader N.M.A, Sarath Kumar T, Kiran Joseph Fernandez, Abdul Rauf
AbstractAn Endo perio lesion has been one of common clinical entity associated with the tooth. Theinvolvement of both pulpal and
periodontal diseases can complicatethe entire diagnosis and treatment planning. The present case series shows the importance of
periodontal therapythat includes regeneration of lost periodontium/ resection of roots to provide better prognosis for the affected tooth.
The tooth was first endodontically treated andfollowed by periodontal treatment. Post operatively there was evident gain in
clinicalattachment level and evident bone fill observed in a cases were treated through regeneration.A better functional, esthetic
restoration were seen after the resective treatment.

Role Of Nanotechnolgy In Periodontics – Review

AbstractNanodentistry a new emergence in dentistry. Nanoparticles have a
greater surface area per unit mass so they exhibit much better
performance properties. Nanodentistry has a significant role in
dental re-naturalization, local anesthesia, teeth hypersensitivity
cure, periodontal regeneration, controlled drug delivery, and
overall oral health maintenance. Nanotechnology was found to
play a role in preventing bone loss on local application of
nanostructured doxycycline gel in case of experimental periodontal
disease. Nanorobots are nanometers scale robots , which when
incorporated in mouthwash or toothpaste continuously remove
organic residues and prevent calculus accumulation by continuous
and fast movement across the supra and subgingival surfaces.

Role Of Socket Shield Technique In Immediate Implants Placed In The Esthetic Zone – A Case Report
Authors:M. Dr.G.Ulaganathan, Dr.Thanvir Mohamed Niazi, Dr.Catherine Diana, Dr.Senthil Moorthy, Dr.S.Seetha, Dr.Ganesh Mitun
AbstractImmediate implant is a valuable treatment of choice to replace non
restorable teeth in the esthetic zone with a success rate of 87.5 to
100%. It has several advantages like minimizing the total
treatment time, cost effective, and psycosocial benefits. In spite of
the exceptional success rates, horizontal buccal bone resorption of
about 56% and corresponding palatal bone resorption of 30% has
been documented with respect to immediate implants (1) . These
morphometric changes negatively influence the aesthetic outcome
of dental implants. The use of modified surgical procedures such
as the flapless technique, various hard tissue augmentation
procedures, guided bone regeneration (GBR) and titanium
reinforced barriers as well as various bone promoting molecules
have been tried for bone preservation, with each method having its
own benefits and drawbacks. Recently socket-shield technique
(SST) otherwise called partial extraction therapy by Hurzeler et al
in 2006 was described where buccal segment of the root is retained
as a shield in situ, which aids in preserving periodontal attachment
apparatus thus preserving the vascularity of buccal bone when
compared to other conventional techniques. Here we present a case
of non-restorable tooth in the maxillary aesthetic zone managed
with placement of immediate implant using socket shield technique
and evaluating the hard tissue health and aesthetic outcome (2).

Evaluation Of Variation In Slot Size Between Commercially Available Bracket Systems:
Authors:Dr.S.S.Indira, Dr.M.M.Varadharaja, Dr.E.Honeysha
AbstractJallikattu (bull embracing) is a traditional game and it is typically practised in India, Tamilnadu.
Trauma involved in maxillofacial region due to bull gore attack was less frequently reported.
However due to the anatomic nature of mandible this is the more commonly involved in the
maxillofacial region. This case report involves the left parasymphysis and right angel fracture of
mandible managed with open reduction and miniplate fixation, soft tissue laceration of lower lip was
managed with layer by layer closure.
