Sjogren’s syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease that is characterized by xerostomia, xerophthalmia and dysfunction of other exocrine glands of the body. This can often be associated with other connective tissue disorders such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic lupus erythematosus that also show properties of autoimmunity and chronicity. This case report discusses the case of a 49 year old lady, already diagnosed with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis who presented with a right side submandibular swelling of three weeks duration and an additional complaint of dry mouth. Sialometry, serological investigations and Labial gland biopsy were conclusive of Sjogren’s syndrome. Subsequently, the patient was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. This case report brings to light the clinical coexistence of additional autoimmune diseases with Sjogren’s syndrome, with emphasis on the association of SLE and Secondary Sjogren’s syndrome and reviews in detail the clinical presentations and management of individuals affected with this condition.
It is notable that non-functional masticatory muscle exercises during (sleep bruxism [SB]) are related with a wide scope of manifestations in the orofacial area. For instance, SB is frequently connected with other temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscle problems, which by and large can cause a checked limit in the everyday exercises of patients.
Dental caries curses major part of the world’s population; rectified as a widespread multifactorial disease. As saliva is frequently flowing fluid along the teeth and other oral structures; which plays a major role in developing and progression of dental caries. Some organic and inorganic components may protect teeth from the occurrence of dental caries. This occurs via several functions, such as clearance of food debris and sugar, aggregation and elimination of microorganisms, buffering actions to neutralize acid, maintaining concentration with respect to tooth mineral, participation in formation of the acquired pellicle and antimicrobial defence. Unassuming attestation is available on the associations between dental caries and several salivary parameters, including flow rate, buffering capacity and abundance of mutant streptococci. Despite some controversial findings, the main body of the literature supports an elevated caries prevalence and/or incidence among people with a pathologically low saliva flow rate, compromised buffering capacity and early colonization or high titer of mutant streptococci in saliva. Saliva has the potential to be used in the early detection and diagnosis of caries. This is due to the abundant biomarkers present in saliva.
Dental Caries commonly known as tooth decay is damage or erosion of tooth's surface or enamel by tooth decaying bacteria producing acids as their metabolic by product during the breakdown of sugars thus resulting in cavity development. This can lead to complication from pain to infection and even end up in tooth loss. In the year of 1926, GV Black gave us a prediction that with advancement in understanding of dental caries and its histopathology, Doctors would one day be able to, treat it before it could cause any serious damage to the tooth. Yet 95 years later even today, despite of all advancements we made in the understanding of dental caries, cases of dental caries are still increasing at alarming rate globally. Rate of dental carries development is increasing day by day among young children at an alarming rate due to improper maintenance of oral hygiene, at the same time medication-induced xerostomia is affecting the golden agers. Currently the mode of treatment administered is through dental drills alongside fluoride therapies, but this solution is proven not to be adequate enough as fluoride therapy does not improve the remineralization results and increasing the level and frequency of fluoride therapy isn’t effective in reduction of tooth decay. Therefore, it high time that we change our approach towards the disease and ensure to make necessary changes to our mode of treatment all together, shifting the focus from symptomatic treatment to roots of factors causing dental caries itself.
Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is also known as nonendemic mottling of enamel, internal enamel hypoplasia, idiopathic enamel opacities, opaque spots, enamel opacities, idiopathic enamel opacities, enamel opacities, nonfluoride hypomineralization, cheese molars in the first molar, and idiopathic enamel hypomineralization in permanent first molars.
Glandular odontogenic cyst is a quite rare developmental cyst seen in the jaw area. Clinically, it is most commonly seen in mandibular anterior. Its prevalence is higher in middle aged and old males. In general, it is radiologically observed as a regular bordered uniloculated or multiloculated radioluscent lesion. It is important due to high post-treatment recurrence rate and wide distinctive diagnosis range. Our two cases diagnosed with Glandular odontogenic cyst were presented together with distinctive diagnoses in the light of literature.
This COVID-19 pandemic has brought dire difficulties up in the arrangement of medical services. To help direct clinicians during this time, a few public and worldwide articles have been distributed, including rules from proficient gatherings that identify with the administration of head and neck disease (HNC). HNC-related a medical procedure has been influenced by deferrals or scratch-offs, which have been affected to some degree by the limit of intensive care units (ICU). It was important to present changes in treatment quickly, and these might have broad ramifications for the future arrangement of clinical consideration.
Dental health care professionals have an essential importance in not just persuading their patients to become vaccinated, but also in providing vaccines. which is not something that had previously occurred as a professional concern, and it required the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to cause such concern in health care professionals. Fortunately, there are dental care and public health professionals, including those in the journal's readership, who are far more foresighted and well-informed than many others and who have long recognised the important, if not critical, role that these doctors can play independently and collaboratively in ensuring vaccination of patients.
Climate change has been shown to have an impact on human health, particularly dental health, making this an urgent and current issue. Global mean surface air temperature (SAT) increased by 1°C above pre-industrial levels in 2015, and is expected to rise fast to 1.5°C by the 2030s and 2°C by the 2050s. This rate of global warming and rising global mean SAT are linked to increasing chances of today's measured unfavourable health outcomes. In 2010, billions of individuals were impacted by oral problems, with neglected dental caries being one of the most common non-communicable disease (NCD) and periodontal disease ranking sixth. Oral cancer is one of the most frequent cancers worldwide. Widely used technique strategies to tackling NCDs emphasize on major factors notably sugar consumption, smoking and alcohol use, anxiety, accidents, and inadequate and improper cleanliness. Every efficient and effective health promotion approach should therefore incorporate larger social determinants of health, such as economics, social policies, education, and inequitable resource distribution, as well as larger disease risk factors, such as climate change and pollution. There are no documented statistics on the influence of climate change on dental health currently.

Dental disintegration can be characterized as the irreversible loss of dental tissue from acids, without the inclusion of microorganisms. These acids can break up the precious stones that make your teeth, prompting tooth surface misfortune. The tooth disintegration happens when acids erode the polish on teeth which can be because of admission of exorbitant soda pop, natural product drink utilization which contains elevated levels of phosphoric and citrus extracts.
In present day society, the quest for improved dentofacial style continues. Accordingly, motivated by pretty faces, individuals these days go for such a modality to improve their dentofacial feel and excellent grins. Grin is one of the most factor adding to allure. The idea of magnificence altogether shifts. Henceforth, treatment convention cannot be all around applied. To accomplish ideal stylish results, some reference boundaries must be trailed by the experts, like Smile Arc, Teeth extents and positions, Gums, Buccal Corridors, Midline, Colour of teeth and gums and Lips. Remembering these Smile boundaries, Smile investigation ought to be done from Orthodontist perspective for finding and treatment arranging. The standards of grin investigation ought to be considered for patient's fulfilment and to accomplish by and large treatment targets. Grin Analysis is additionally separated into four fundamental parts: Dentofacial, Dentilabial, Dent gingival and Dental Analyses, individually. To yield greatest stylish results in dental treatment, Elements of Smile Analysis must be considered as beginning references for the experts exclusively or as a piece of multidisciplinary cooperation Grin feel has become a significant worry among patients and orthodontists. Consequently, the point of this examination was: (1) To feature contrasts in impression of grin feel by clinicians, orthodontists and laypeople; (2) To survey factors, for example, lip thickness, grin stature, shading degree, tooth size and swarming, and which are related with grin repulsiveness. PC put together grin stylish studies based with respect to slider innovation permit more exact control of factors and the chance of acquiring ceaseless information. Varieties in the impression of grins from various facial points of view have not been settled. The target of this examination was to measure the ideal and the scope of adequate qualities for grin factors decided by laypersons from a full-face viewpoint for correlation with lower-face information. To this end, altered photos stressing the lower third of the substance of 41 subjects were evaluated by three gatherings (orthodontists, laypeople and clinicians) who reviewed the grins from 1 to 9, featuring the markers that manifest grin repulsiveness. Kruskal-Wallis test enhanced by Bonferroni test was utilized to evaluate contrasts among gatherings. Moreover, the predominant variables in grin disagreeableness were likewise depicted. Reflected and symmetric male and female full faces recently controlled by friends to be of normal allure were utilized. 96 laypersons made a decision about these grin factors: grin bend, buccal hallway fill, maxillary gingival showcase, maxillary midline to confront, maxillary to mandibular midline inconsistency, overbite, focal incisor gingival edge error, maxillary foremost gingival tallness disparity, incisal edge disparity, and cant. The adjudicators controlled the factors utilizing customizable picture innovation that permitted the variable to transform and seem nonstop on a PC screen. Medians for each grin variable were assembled, and the Fleiss-Cohen weighted kappa measurement was determined to quantify dependability. Various randomization tests with changed P esteems were utilized to contrast this information and those for lower face sees. There was no huge distinction (P = 0.67) among bunches rates. Be that as it may, the gatherings featured various attributes related with grin obnoxiousness. Orthodontists underscored minimal gingival showcase, though laypeople underlined unbalanced teeth and clinicians stressed yellow teeth. Unwavering quality went from 0.25 for ideal overbite to 0.60 for upper midline to confront, aside from upper and lower buccal passage limits, which each had a kappa esteem almost 0. There were no factually huge contrasts between the appraisals of male and female ratters. The accompanying factors demonstrated measurably and clinically critical contrasts (>1 mm) when contrasted and the lower face see ideal grin bend, ideal buccal hall, greatest gingival showcase, upper to bring down midline, and occlusal cant. Although the grin bend esteems contrasted due to display lip shape varieties, the rule of following the bend of the lower lip was affirmed. For the full-face see, the ratters favoured less most extreme gingival showcase, less buccal hall, more upper to bring down midline error, and less cant of the occlusal plane. Unwavering quality was reasonable for moderate except for the buccal passageway limits. Most factors demonstrated no clinically significant contrasts from the lower face see. The satisfactory reach was very huge for most factors. Definite information on the ideal estimations of the different factors is significant and can be consolidated into orthodontic treatment to deliver an ideal stylish grin. Orthodontists, laypeople, and clinicians also survey grin feel; be that as it may, seeing various qualities. Consequently, the orthodontist must be mindful so as not to force his own impression of grin feel. Keywords: Orthodontics, Dental aesthetics, Smile
