“Eagle’s eye, Lion’s heart, and lady’s finger” are the characters a Doctor should possess. How many of us have developed these characters. Are we looking at the patient just as money bag or we looking more? Is the dentist should change first or patient should be educated more. This paper will add new dimension to manipulate the psychology of patien...

Aim: To determine the prevalence of tobacco use and oral mucosal lesions among Nicobarese tribal populations in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional survey and oral examination were done in 400 Nicobari populations in Car Nicobar using the World Health Organization (WHO) format of Oral Health Questionnaire a...

Young patients are most susceptible to trauma which involves teeth and their supporting structures. Severity can vary from simple enamel fracture to complete tooth avulsion. The treatment modality ranges from a noninvasive procedure to surgical intervention. The present case report describes the unique management, 5-year follow-up, and prognosis of...

Background: The present study was conducted to assess malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need among 13 to 15 years old school going children of Andaman and Nicobar islands. Materials & Methods: 126 school children age ranged 13-15 years of both genders was involved. Orthodontic treatment needs was calculated using Dental esthetic index (DAI). R...

Background: As prevalence of diabetes in children increases, so does its oral complications. The association between dental caries and diabetes has received lesser attention compared to periodontal diseases. This study was carried out to evaluate and detect the relationship between dental caries and physiological factors of saliva in children with...

Marginal tissue recession is a common feature amongst Andaman & Nicobar population with high standards of oral hygiene as well as amongst population with poor oral hygiene. Recession is frequently associated with aesthetic concerns, fear of tooth loss, and root hypersensitivity. Several etiological factors that may account for it are: traumatic too...

Fused teeth and talon cusp are developmental anomalies with inherently bizarre anatomy. These anomalies may develop during tooth bud morphodifferentiation as a result of a developmental aberration of both the ectoderm and mesoderm. Concurrent occurrence of different developmental anomalies is rarely seen and reported in the literature. This article...

Introduction: To evaluate the effect of audioanalgesia in 6- to 12-year-old children during dental treatment procedure. Materials and methods: A total of 40 children were selected and divided into two groups, study group - with audioanalgesia and control group - without audioanalgesia. The value of their pain was evaluated using Venham's pain ra...

Anatomical variations of the first primary molars are very rare. Anatomic variation in root canal configuration, especially in multi‑rooted teeth such as primary molars, makes the diagnosis and successful root canal therapy challenging. Thorough knowledge of root canal morphology and anatomical variations of primary teeth can help a pediatric denti...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the microleakage on the marginal integrity of nanohybrid composite during bleaching with carbamide peroxide after applying a protective coating of G-Coat plus (GC, Japan). Class V cavities were prepared and restored with nanohybrid composite restoration in 60 freshly extracted noncarious premolars extracted for...

Anatomic and internal morphology of a root canal system is more complex and differs for each individual tooth of which mandibular premolars have earned the reputation for having aberrant anatomy. The occurrence of three canals with three separate foramina in mandibular second premolars is very rare. A wider knowledge on both clinical and radiologic...

Ichthyosis is a heterogeneous family of hereditary keratinisation disorders mostly characterized by variable erythema of the whole body and different scaling patterns. Although these disorders affect tissues of epidermal origin, there is little evidence regarding the oral and dental manifestations of Lamellar Ichthyosis. A case report of early chil...

The primary etiology of the periodontal disease is chronic inflammation due to bacterial infection. It is the host's reaction to the presence of bacteria that mediates tissue destruction .Since the destruction of periodontium is believed to be due to the host response , it is intellectual and logical to consider therapeutic approaches that modulate...

Root perforations may occur due to pathological processes or treatment consequences. Such perforations are severe complications and are associated with dramatically compromised endodontic treatment outcomes, especially when bacterial infection is allowed to establish and if the seal between the endodontic space and periradicular tissue is not provi...

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), often called as tic douloureux, is the most common of the cranial neuralgias with an incidence of 4.3 per 100,000 persons per year. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines TN as "a sudden, usually unilateral, brief stabbing recurrent pain in the distribution of one or more branches of the fifth...
