Objective: To assess the frequency of cysts and tumors around impacted third molars. Study Design and Setting: Cross-sectional study was conducted at the OMFS department, Lahore Medical & Dental College, from August 2015 to January 2018. Methodology: A total of 2057 patients were operated for the removal of 2354 impacted third molars and analyzed for their associated pathological lesions(cysts/tumors). Patients were evaluated with thorough history, clinical and radiological examination. Panoramic and periapical radiographs were primarily used to assess the site of third molar impactions (maxilla/mandible) and their associated pathologies confirmed with histopathological examination. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The patients’ ages were between 17 to 62 years (Mean±SD, 28.12±8.585). There were n=709 (34.47%) females and n=1348 (65.53%) male with female to male ratio of 1.9:1. The mandibular to maxillary impacted third molars ratio was 1.66:1. An overall frequency of 1.36% for cysts and 0.72% for tumor associated with impacted third molars was demonstrated in the current study. The most frequently diagnosed cyst was dentigerous whereas ameloblastoma was the most commonly identified tumor. Conclusion: A relatively lower frequency (2.08%) of pathological lesions was found around third molars. The study reported a smaller number of pathological lesions affecting a significant minority of patients. It is recommended that a dentist/oral maxillofacial surgeon should be consulted at the earliest if any symptoms in the third molar region arise along with imaging of the area.

Objective: This study aimed to assess and compare the knowledge and awareness of dental interns and general practitioners in Saudi Arabia about late mandibular incisor crowding. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study which was conducted between June 2020 and July 2020 in Saudi Arabia and it observed dental practitioners. Results: A total of 275 subjects were included in this study; 172 (62.5%) were dental interns, 157 (57.1%) were females and 211 (76.7%) dentists were aged between 23-26 years. While most general practitioners and dental interns have heard about late mandibular incisors crowding, the majority continue to abstain from not recommending extraction of lower third molar as a means of prevention. Around half of the respondents, 134 (48.7%), claimed that the eruption of lower third molars is a possible causative factor. A greater percentage of general dental practitioners, 32 (31.1%) believed that there is a correlation between late mandibular incisors crowding and cases of relapse after an orthodontic treatment. Moreover, male participants were more knowledgeable of the fact that cases may worsen if not treated (P = 0.019). The knowledge of lower third molars eruption (P = 0.002) and unerupted/impacted lower third molars (P = 0.034) ability to cause late mandibular incisors crowding and the prophylactic extraction of the lower third molars (P = 0.009) were also significantly differed across the various age groups. Conclusion: Late mandibular incisor crowding is one of the main clinical issues in dental practice which has been subject to decreased awareness among dentists. Keywords:Dentists, knowledge, late mandibular incisor crowding, Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: Crowding in mandibular arch increases with increasing age and etiology of crowding is multifactorial in nature. Role of mandibular third molar in lower anterior crowding remains a topic of controvery over a period of century. The objective of this study was to assess whether there is any correlation between presence of mandibular third molar position and lower anterior crowding. Materials and Method: On the basis of third molar position one hundred and six sample of pretreatment orthodontic patients aged between 17 to 38 years were divided into erupted, erupting and agenesis group. The study was conducted in Peoples Dental College and Hospital from January 2020 to March 2020 after obtaining ethical approval from the institutional review committee. This cross-sectional study was done on dental casts and orthopantomogram; brass wire was used for measuring arch length and digital vernier caliper for measuring tooth material with modified segmental arch analysis method. Result: Among 106 samples collected 55 (51.88%) were female and 51(48.11%) were male and the mean age was 21.53 ± 3.91 years, Chi square and ANOVA test was used for Statistical analysis. This study showed no statistically significant differences between third molar position and lower anterior crowding on right (P= 0.68) and left side (P = 0.45). The study also showed that association between the third molar position and lower anterior crowding is more on left side compared to right side. Conclusion: Mandibular third molars have not statistically significant difference in lower anterior crowding so, extraction of third molars for relieving the anterior crowding is not justifiable

Abstract Background Few related surveys about reasons for tooth extraction was shown in mainland China. Our aim was to investigate the primary reasons and main pattern for extractions among patients presenting at a hospital of stomatology in Guangzhou, China. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 3 months, 2000 patients who underwent tooth extraction were recorded and analyzed by age, gender, the tooth type and the extraction reasons. Chi-square test was used to examine the differences in the extraction reasons between different genders, age groups and tooth types. Results A total of 3106 teeth were removed from 2000 patients, with an age ranging from 6 to 91. This study revealed details of extraction reasons and suggested that dental caries (25.42%) was the main reasons for tooth extraction and pointed out preventive extraction of third molar (19.89%) had displaced periodontal diseases (12.89%) as the dominant reason for extractions. Overall, third molar was the most frequently extracted tooth (1567). Significant statistical differences were found among different age groups, genders and tooth types for tooth extraction reasons (p༜0.05). For example, caries was the main reason for tooth extraction in 30–59 years old patients, while 20–29 years old patients asked for preventive extraction of third molar teeth mostly. Posterior teeth were mostly removed because of caries and periodontal disease was the leading cause for anterior teeth extraction. Conclusions We found the primary reasons and the new patterns for tooth extraction among patients in Guangzhou. It was proposed for the first time that the dominant reason for extractions was preventive extraction of third molar. Our finding could help to put forward some predictors and adjust the preventive strategies in oral disorders.

Abstract Introduction Hoarseness is a symptom with a varied etiology ranging from inflammatory condition, benign lesions to malignant lesions. Benign conditions are more common than malignant. Proper knowledge of clinical profile and evaluation is necessary to treat the cause. Objective It was conducted with the aim to study the clinical profile of patients with hoarseness of voice. Materials and Methods It was a descriptive cross-sectional study of 2 years conducted at Department of ENT at Tertiary Health Care Hospital, India. Patients aged above 10 years presenting with hoarseness of voice were included in the study. After detailed history related to sociodemographic particulars, clinical examinations including Hopkin’s rod examination in all patients and direct laryngoscopy, and radiological and histopathological examination were performed whenever indicated. Results Out of total 100 patients, maximum patients (32%) were in the age group of 21 to 30 years. There was slight male preponderance with male:female ratio of 1.17:1. Laborer (29%) was the major group affected in terms of occupation. Most common predisposing factor was smoking (35%). Commonest etiology for hoarseness of voice was chronic laryngitis (20%). Conclusion Hoarseness of voice as a symptom should never be ignored as its etiology may range from simple infection to malignancy. At our tertiary care center majority of patients come from rural area. Most of the etiological factors found in our study were treatable medically or surgically. Early diagnosis is the key to improve the outcome of treatment.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the Central Nervous System causing inflammation and neurodegeneration. There are only 3 epidemiological studies in Portugal, 2 in the Centre and 1 in the North, and there is the need to further study MS epidemiology in this country. The objective of this work is to contribute to the MS epidemiological knowledge in Portugal, describing the patients’ epidemiological, demographic, and clinical characteristics in the Braga district of Portugal. This is a cross-sectional study of 345 patients followed in two hospitals of Braga district. These hospitals cover a resident population of 866,012 inhabitants. The data was collected from the clinical records, and 31/12/2009 was established as the prevalence day. For all MS patients, demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes are reported. We have found an incidence of 2.74/100,000 and a prevalence of 39.82/100,000 inhabitants. Most patients have an EDSS of 3 or lower and a mean age of 42 years. The diagnosis was done at mean age of 35, with RRMS being the disease type in more than 80% of patients. In this cohort, we found a female : male ratio of 1.79. More than 50% of patients are treated with Interferonβ-1b IM or IFNβ-1a SC 22 μg.
