Authors: Priya S, Priyadharshini K.S, Nivedha S.S, Uzra Khanam.Y, Dr. R.Saravanan, Dr.P.RajaKumar
Abstract Orthodontic treatment is a widely practiced method for correcting malocclusions and enhancing dental aesthetics. Root resorption is one of the side effects of orthodontic therapy that can cause irreversible harm to the structure of the tooth. In-depth analysis of the literature on root resorption during orthodontic treatments is the goal of this review article, which also compares the prevalence and extent of root resorption that occur between self-ligating and traditional brackets. We discuss the fundamental causes of root resorption in patients receiving orthodontic treatment as well as risk factors and prophylactic measures.
Keywords: Orthodontics, root resorption, self-ligating brackets, conventional brackets, incidence, severity, risk factors, prevention, ethical considerations.

Recent Advances In Periodontal Regeneration Therapies: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Dr. Uma Sudhakar, S.Bhuvanesh, T.Aswini, Ayesha Mohideen, Ayesha sherin, Bharathi
Abstract Traditional treatment approaches have primarily focused on symptom control and slowing disease progression. However, recent strides in periodontal regeneration therapies offer promising avenues for reinstating lost periodontal tissues. This comprehensive review undertakes a thorough examination of the most recent advancements in periodontal regeneration treatments, encompassing diverse methodologies like tissue engineering, biomaterials, growth factors, and emerging technologies. Through an exploration of the current status of the field, this review aims to illuminate the potential of these innovative therapies to transform periodontal healthcare and enhance patient outcomes.
Keywords: Periodontal diseases, periodontal regeneration therapies, lost periodontal tissues, in-depth analysis, latest developments.

Epidemiology of Periodontal Disease- A biomolecular review
Authors: Dr. Swati Balsaraf, Dr.Revant H Chole
Abstract Introduction: Periodontitis is one of the most common chronic oral disease throughout the world. It is also one of the major cause contributing towards tooth loss in India. Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition of the periodontium characterized by attachment loss, alveolar bone loss, recession and pocket formation. Clinical attachment loss is a hallmark of periodontitis. Periodontal disease progression Model: The continuous disease progression model was later replaced by Burst theory. Classification of periodontal diseases: American Academy of Periodontics’ classification of 1999 is widely accepted and is used for most of the academic and research purposes. Etio-pathogenisis: The inflammatory process includes the stimulation of fibroblasts by IL-1 and the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs of which collagen is the most prominent) by polymorphonuclear neutrophils. MMPs are responsible for increased collagen breakdown, activation of cytokines and chemokines, exacerbating the destructive process. Etiology of periodontal disearse: The etiologic factors are divided into local & systemic. Important local factors contributing are plaque, calculus, malocclusion, faulty restorations. Main systemic factors are nutritional deficiencies, physical & mental disabilities, metabolic, endocrine disorders & genetic disorders. Epidemiology of Periodontal Disease: it is studied under agent, host & environmental factors. The important agent factors are bacterias such as A.actinomycetamcomitans, P.gingivalis,T. Host Factors responsible are age, gender, education, occupation , income & genetics. Main environmental factors are saliva, urbanization, lifestyle factors. Conclusion: Periodontitis is very old to mankind. It has affected all the races in the world with India having a high prevalence rate. Socioeconomic status should be considered and people should be made aware about the oral health care.

AbstractOVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION
Orthodontic treatment is a time-consuming and technologysensitive practice in dentistry. Because appliances used in
orthodontic treatment tend to retain food debris and plaque, and
cleaning them is a major challenge that greatly affects maintaining
oral hygiene. Orthodontic patients are expected to practise
appropriate oral hygiene practises, such as cleaning their teeth at
least twice daily and using additional tools like interdental aids and
mouthwash, in order to maintain good oral and periodontal health
DIETARY PRACTICES
During orthodontic treatment, the patient's dietary history must be
considered, and the patient and diet must modify any necessary
ingredients, taking into account the patient's comfort, routines,
preferences and tolerances.Dairy food (such milk, ice cream, and
cheese) must be recommended during orthodontic treatment since
they are soft and good for the remodelling of the bones during the
movement of the tooth.
CONCLUSION
To minimize orthodontic failures, it is important to focus on
prevention, education, and motivational techniques to improve the
oral health of orthodontic patients. A key factor in the success of
orthodontic treatment is patient cooperation and behavioral
adaptation.
