Publication: Inflammatory Gingival Hyperplasia

Gingival hyperplasia is a multifactorial condition that develops as a response to noxious stimuli because of unfavourable interactions between host and environment. It may be associated with plaque or systemic hormonal disturbances. Oral manifestations associated with blood disorders like leukemia and thrombocytopenia. Based on the extent and severity, these enlargements may lead to functional disturbances such as altered speech, difficulty in mastication, and esthetic and psychological problems. These enlargements usually cause functional disturbances like difficulty in speech and psychological problems Read more >>

COVID – 19 & ITS IMPACT ON DENTISTRY

What is COVID 19? The virus is not an living organism but a protein molecule consisting of DNA covered by a layer of lipid which can absorbed by all the cells such as nasal, mucosal, ocular and induces genetic mutation amongst the population. How does COVID 19 survive? The viral genome of corona virus is fragile and is protected by a layer of fat. The virus has the tendency to stay on surfaces for atleast 6-9 hours, also called as FOMITES. These are nothing but contaminated surfaces which cross infect other human beings. This virus has a pH of 5.5 to 8.5 That is why any soap or detergents is the best remedy to prevent this virus. By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own. Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% dissolves the fat, especially the external lipid layer of the virus. Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside. Oxygenated water helps long after

Publication : Ligaplants: A revolutionary concept in implant dentistry

Replacement of the missing tooth with an implant has gained popularity among patients. The advent of periodontal tissue engineering has brought about a revolution not only in the field of periodontology but also in the field of implant dentistry at large. Currently, the development of a periodontal ligament (PDL) attachment around dental implants has now become an important new therapeutic tool to replace lost teeth. PDL houses various vital cells that are important in the dynamic relationship between the tooth and the bone. Thus, ligaplants are now an available option to improve the biological performance and to prolong the life of the prosthesis. Click here to visit the full article
