Prevalence, classification and dental treatment requirements of dens invaginatus by cone-beam computed tomography

Background. This study aimed the evaluation of the prevalence, characteristics, types of dens invaginatus (DI) and co-observed dental anomalies to understand dental treatment requirements in anterior teeth that are susceptible to developmental anomalies by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods. In this retrospective study, the anterior teeth of 958 patients were evaluated by using CBCT for the presence of DI. The demographic features, types of DI and treatment requirements were also recorded. The association between sex and the presence of DI was evaluated using chi-squared test. Results. Seventy-three DI anomalies were detected in the anterior teeth of 49 patients (18 females, 31 males). The frequency of DI was 5.11% and the most frequently involved teeth were lateral (57.53%). Forty-six teeth were classified as Type I (63.01%), 24 as Type II (32.87%), and three as Type III (4.10%). Apical pathosis was found to be 20.54% in all DIs detected and accounted for all Type III and one-third of Type II. Conclusions. CBCT imaging can be effective in the detection of dental anomalies such as DI and planning for root canal therapy and surgical treatments. Prophylactic interventions might be possible to prevent apical pathosis with the data obtained from CBCT images

AETIOLOGY OF RECURRENT APHTHOUS STOMATITIS IN NON-SMOKERS: RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF 164 PATIENTS

Recurremt aphthous stomatitics(ras) is one most common oral lesions. Chilinicslly these lesions are presented in three forms minor major ulsers. UTtHE aetiology of the lesuion is still unknown .However sensitivity to foods, hormonal disturbance , trauma viruses, and systemic diseases (Crohn diseases alcerrative colitis coeliac disease behect syndrome) are associated with Ras aetiology Moreover there are report that patients sulfer from aphthous ulsers after stop smoking and in patienty who had experince Ras while smoking had higher prevalence of Ras .Inthe present study we evaluated 164 non smoking RAs patient retrospectively. we present results 100 female major aphous stomatics were exidemt 3 our both minor major form.Patient were also evaluated eliminate symdrome 4 our found positive. When screening observed 33% of the patient anemia .Also men and working patient group found to higher RASD(p<0.001).We minor stomatics most form RAS and femalr was male. The RAS in female patient have been effect from defencies, and male patient stess of bussiness to be leading cause

DESQUAMATIVE GINGIVITIS: A REVIEW

Desquamative gingivitis (DG) is characterized by the erythematous gingiva, desquamation and erosion of the gingival epithelium, and blister formation. It is a common clinical manifestation in several diseases. Contact allergic reactions to various oral hygiene products and chemical agents have also been reported to represent as DG. The management of DG has been a major problem, largely because the etiology of the disease has been elusive. In this paper, we aimed to review the current literature on the pathogenesis, diagnosis management and prognosis of DG
