Introduction: A study of dental diseases amongst patients attending dental outpatient department (OPD) helps us plan a preventive, and/or a definitive dental treatment.Objectives: To find out the distribution of dental diseases amongst patients visiting dental OPD at College of Dental Surgery, Gandaki Medical College (GMC), Pokhara, Nepal.Methods: The present study was a hospital based cross sectional descriptive study carried out during a period of one year extending from 1st February 2016 to 31st January 2017. A total of 3052 patients attending the dental OPD were included in the study. The distribution of dental diseases according to sex, age and diagnosis were collected and analyzed. Additionally, frequency distribution of treatments provided to the patients was observed.Results: Dental caries was the most prevalent dental disease (64.41%) followed by gingivitis (13.04%). The prevalence of dental caries was significantly higher in females (Females 56.91% vs. males 43.08%, P <0.05). Conversely, the prevalence of maxillofacial injuries (85.06%), dental impactions (72%), and malocclusion (53.88%) were significantly more common in male patients (P <0.05). The age group <19 years comprised 23.98 % of patients who visited the dental OPD, and the dental caries was most prevalent (27.10%) in the age group. The order of more frequent dental treatments was root canal treatment (18.84%), tooth extraction (18.44%), dental restoration (10.48%), and scaling (9.20%).Conclusions: The most prevalent dental disease was dental caries and it was more prevalent in females than in males. The most common age group reporting to Dental OPD was <19 years. J-GMC-N | Volume 11 | Issue 01 | January-June 2018, Page: 29-32

Composite Restoration

Introduction: Dental caries is a problem that usually happens in the society. One of the treatments for dental caries is restoration. Dental restoration material which one usually used are compsite and amalgam. The aim of this research is to acknowledge the different amount between the usage of composite and amalgam restoration in posterior teeth of patient in RSKGM Bandung. Methods: Type of research was descriptive. Sample were taken from patients data who had dental treatment of composite and amalgam restoration in posterior teeth in RSKGM Bandung on 1st July – 31st December 2011. Differences result of two restoration inthis research analyzed with test-t analysis.Results: Total amount of posterior teeth restorated was 1485 teeth, which 1445 teeth were restored using composite and 40 teeth were restored using amalgam. It showed that the usage of composite restoration was more than amalgam restoration.Conclusion: there is a significant difference between the number of composite restorations and amalgam on the posterior tooth. The average number of composite restorations is greater than amalgam restoration.

Dental caries or tooth decay is a damage of tooth due to activities of bacteria. There is pain and difficulty with eating. A diet high in simple sugar is a risk factor. Regular cleaning of the teeth, a diet low in sugar, and small amounts of fluoride can prevent this condition. Once a lesion has cavitated, a dental restoration in indicated. Endodontic therapy may be required for the restoration of a tooth. Extraction may be required if the tooth is destroyed too far.

Objectives. The aim of this study was to explore the literature in order to assess systematically the association between amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and caries development and to evaluate the DMF index among AI patients. Basic Research Design. PubMed was used to explore the database Medline. The key words used were “Amelogenesis Imperfecta” [Mesh], “Dental Caries” [Mesh], “Tooth Loss” [Mesh], “DMF Index” [Mesh], and “Dental Restoration, Permanent” [Mesh]. Moreover, an ad hoc search was performed in order to make the study as exhaustive as possible. Results. Fifty-five articles were retained. The total number of patients gathered was 499. A percentage of 68.8% of the articles dealt with cases with a relatively low dental caries process, 20.8% dealt with cases in which the dental caries process was relatively moderate, and 10.4% dealt with cases in which the dental caries process was severe. Teeth extraction due to dental caries was mentioned in 10 articles. Eleven articles, concerning 53 patients, mentioned dental fillings. Four patients did not have dental filling due to dental caries. DMF index was very low in 2 articles and low-to-high in 3 articles. Conclusion. Low dental caries susceptibility with AI patients was noticed in this study. A possible factor could be the lack of proximal contacts and elimination of fissures through enamel loss. The lack of dental caries susceptibility was also explained by the microbacterial specificity of hypoplastic AI patients. Moreover, it was also noted that the prevalence of dental caries among AI patients depends on sociodemographic change.

Coaching Approach

Probiotic therapy forms a new strategy for dental caries prevention. Probiotic microorganisms possess the ability to displace cariogenic microorganisms and colonize the oral cavity. They can produce various antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocins, bacteriocin-like peptides, lactic acid, and hydrogen peroxide. Dairy products may be ideal for probiotic administration in dental patients. Many other means have been proposed, primarily for those allergic to dairy components, such as capsules, liquid form, tablets, drops, lozenges, sweetened cakes, and ice creams. The last two forms can be used in a coaching approach for children and elderly patients who find it difficult to avoid sugary beverages in their daily routine and benefit from the suggestion of easy, cheap, and common forms of delicacies. In caries prevention, the concept of the effector strain is already considered an integral part of the contemporary caries cure or prevention strategy in adults. Adults, though, seem not to be favored as much as children at early ages by using probiotics primarily due to their oral microbiome’s stability. In this non-systematic review we describe the modes of action of probiotics, their use in the cariology field, their clinical potential, and propose options to prevent caries through a patient coaching approach for the daily dental practice.

Failure Restoration

Dental caries is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases and highly prevalent in the world. The commonest treatment procedure for dental caries is a dental restoration which aims to retain the tooth. The survival of restoration depends on the factors associated with restorative materials, patients or operators. Thus, this study aimed to determine the reasons for the failure of restoration in posterior primary teeth performed by undergraduate dental students. A total number of 32 patients aged from 5 to 12 years old were included in this study. Overall, 115 primary molar restorations were assessed clinically using the modified United States Public Health Service Ryge criteria. The O’Leary plaque score was used to evaluate the oral hygiene status of all patients. Then, the data was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curves with log-rank test and Cox regression analysis. 43 (37.4 %) restorations failed with 62.1 % for glass ionomer cement and 36.4 % for composite restorations. Marginal adaptation (62.8 %) is the commonest cause of failure. 76.7% of failure restoration was in patients with poor oral hygiene, and it showed a significant difference compared to patients with moderate and good oral hygiene (p = 0.014). Thus, it was concluded that the type of restorative material and oral hygiene status contributed to the failure of restoration placed in primary molar restorations with failure restoration may occur 2.6 times more in poor oral hygiene patients.

During the almost 50 years since Streptococcus mutans was first suggested as a factor in the etiology of dental caries, a multitude of studies have confirmed the cariogenic potential of this organism. Streptococci have been isolated from human and animal caries on numerous occasions and, with few exceptions, they are not typable by the Lancefield technique but are relatively homogeneous in their biochemical reactions. An analysis of the guanine-cytosine (G-C) composition of the DNA from strains K-1-R, NCTC 10449, and FA-1 by one of us (ALC) revealed significant differences and DNA-DNA reassociation experiments indicated that genetic heterogeneity existed among the three strains. The present electron microscopic study had as its objective the elucidation of any distinguishing morphological characteristics which might further characterize the respective strains.
