Objective: To assess and document the knowledge general dentists possess in relation to incidence, diagnosis and management of trigeminal neuralgia and its application in their practice. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey. The data collection tool was a piloted, self- designed, 14 item structured questionnaire that had questions regarding demographics, factual knowledge and practices of the participants. Hundred general dental practitioners were selected through purposive sampling in Lahore. Only general dentists were included in this survey and all other dental specialties were part of the exclusion criteria. Data was entered and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics® (Version 23). Results: Most practitioners responded that they were able to identify a patient with trigeminal neuralgia on the basis of diagnosis of exclusion. Carbamezapine was the drug of choice of pharmacological management or in case pharmacological management did not provide relief the patient was referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Conclusion: It was concluded that general dentists had adequate knowledge and sound practices on management of Trigeminal Neuralgia. A need for multi-disciplinary approach and continued medical education (CME) was identified. Keywords: Dentists, Disease Management, Facial Pain, Neuralgia, Knowledge, Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN).

Mouth ulcers are a common complaint by patients, with individuals regularly presenting to primary care practitioners for diagnosis and treatment. The aetiology and pathogenesis of oral ulceration is, however, both varied and complex. This article highlights the importance of differentiating recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) in otherwise healthy individuals from recurrent oral ulceration (ROU) secondary to known or unknown systemic disease. An overview of the diagnosis and management of such patients is provided as a framework to guide general dental practitioners’ with clinical decision making on whether to treat or refer to secondary care.

First Permanent Molars

Purpose: Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental enamel anomaly of systemic origin affecting the first permanent molars and often the permanent incisors. Despite MIH being a prevalent anomaly, its diagnosis and management are challenging for practitioners; including poor anesthesia, failure of restorations, rapid enamel breakdown, poor resin adhesion, and related child anxiety. This study aimed to evaluate knowledge regarding and management of MIH amongst orthodontists and dentists. Study design: The study was performed from March to September 2017 and included 336 dentists and 32 orthodontists. Questionnaires comprised questions on MIH diagnosis, socio-demographic characteristics of the subjects, and photographs of a case of MIH with related questions regarding management. Results: Our results showed that 48% of dentists and 25% of orthodontists misdiagnosed MIH; with misdiagnosis associated with graduation prior to 1986 (p < 0.001). Amongst dentists, 59% applied a fluoridated product and 34% applied fissure sealants in the case of moderate MIH. The application of fluoride was associated with graduation after 1986 (p < 0.0001).Conclusion: Large disparities about knowledge and management of MIH exist between dental practitioners in France. Education regarding diagnosis and management of MIH is necessary.
