Objectives: To evaluate the frequency of developmental dental anomalies in the Indian population.Methods: This prospective study was conducted over a period of 1 year and comprised both clinical and radiographic examinations in oral medicine and radiology outpatient department. Adult patients were screened for the presence of dental anomalies with appropriate radiographs. A comprehensive clinical examination was performed to detect hyperdontia, talon cusp, fused teeth, gemination, concrescence, hypodontia, dens invaginatus, dens evaginatus, macro- and microdontia and taurodontism. Patients with syndromes were not included in the study.Results: Of the 20,182 patients screened, 350 had dental anomalies. Of these, 57.43% of anomalies occurred in male patients and 42.57% occurred in females. Hyperdontia, root dilaceration, pegshaped laterals (microdontia), and hypodontia were more frequent compared to other dental anomalies of size and shape.Conclusions: Dental anomalies are clinically evident abnormalities. They may be the cause of various dental problems. Careful observation and appropriate investigations are required to diagnose the condition and institute treatment. (Eur J Dent 2010;4:263-269)

Introduction. Biological complications are the most common type of complications around dental implants. They appear in two forms, peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis. The aim of our research was to analyze the above-mentioned complications regarding the time elapsed from implantation and implant loading, as well as regarding the type of dental restoration. Material and methods. 18 patients with self-reported complications were examined at the Department of Periodontology and Oral medicine, School of Dental medicine, University of Belgrade. Each patient filled an anamnestic questionnaire. Clinical examination, including photographic and radiographic documentation have been performed. Results. Clinical examination included 18 patients and 97 implants in total (70% female patients and 30% male patients). The average time elapsed from implants placement was 7.5 years and the average from final dental restoration was 7 years. Periodontitis was diagnosed in 85% of the patients. Complications were more common among the patients with cement-retained restorations. Conclusions. Due to the limitation of our study, we can assume that periodontal disease and cement-retained restorations are the risk factors for genesis and development of the complications around dental implants. The results of our study are in consent with data found in the literature, but in order to confirm these results it is necessary to perform analysis on a larger sample and with longer follow-up.

This study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy, safety and adverse effects of topical isotretinoin 0.05% gel in the treatment of acne vulgaris. This prospective study was undertaken in Skin & VD outpatient department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi. One hundred patients with mild tomoderate acne vulgaris were enrolled and were instructed to apply isotretinoin 0.05% gel once daily at night for 12 weeks. Patients were followed up at 2,4,8 and 12 weeks for efficacy and tolerability. Efficacy was measured by counting facial inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions and by grading acne severity. Cutaneous tolerance was assessed by determining erythema, scaling and burning with pruritus.Response was excellent in 80%of cases.None of the cutaneous reactions was severe, all were mild and well tolerated.Nobody had to discontinue the therapy for side effects. This study confirms that isotretinoin 0.05% gel is safe and effective topical therapy for mild to moderate acnevulgaris.TAJ 2016; 29(2): 1-5

Background: The aim of study was to evaluate the patients with bleeding per rectum by rigid sigmoidoscopy and to know the various causes of bleeding per rectum in our OPD population and to select the best approach to treat the underlying pathology.Methods: A total 63 patients with bleeding per rectum in whom cause could not be ascertained by routine methods like proctoscopy were considered from outpatient department form January 2017 to June 2018 for the study. Out of 63 patients, rigid sigmoidoscopy done in 31 patients and results were documented. All 31 patients were undergone for complete clinical examination and rigid sigmoidoscopic examination in the surgical OPD and routine blood, urine and stool investigations were also done.Results: Out of 31 cases in which sigmoidoscopic examination has been done, definitive source of bleeding is identified in 22 cases (70.97%) and in 9 cases (29.03%), the source of bleeding could not be detected by rigid sigmoidoscope.Conclusions: Rigid sigmoidoscopy has a very high diagnostic yield (approximately 71% in this study) in patients with bleeding per rectum which could not be detected by routine ano proctoscopy. Hence rigid sigmoidoscopy would be recommended in the workup of patients presenting with bleeding per rectum and it also serves an equally important function in excluding serious colonic lesions like malignancy and enables us to reassure the patient.
