Iatrogenic Harm

This is the first article in a three-part series considering uncommon dental anomalies and treatment approaches. Dental transpositions are rare anomalies which may present to the general dental practitioner or orthodontist. The management of transpositions is dependent on several factors, including the sub-type, severity and the other salient features of the malocclusion. Transposition may either be accepted or orthodontically corrected and the adoption of either approach must be preceded by thorough assessment of the patient. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The presentation and management of transposition is variable. The general dental practitioner must be aware of the clinical features of a developing transposition as certain treatment options are only possible before the transposition is fully established. In addition, the orthodontist must be mindful of the potential for iatrogenic harm if these dental anomalies are managed injudiciously.

Integral Role

With adult dentitions being retained for longer, issues relating to the wear of teeth are increasingly becoming of relevance to the general dental practitioner. As with any treatment plan, prevention is a fundamental and an important stage in the management of tooth wear. This article outlines the contemporary preventive features that the general dental practitioner should be aware of when dealing with patients presenting with tooth wear or exhibiting a susceptibility to this. CPD/Clinical Relevance: An understanding of the factors relevant to the prevention of tooth wear will enable an effective preventive regimen to be prescribed. This will play an integral role in the management of tooth wear and its sequalae.

The Individual

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a relatively common psychiatric condition in which the individual is disproportionately concerned about an aspect of his/her appearance. People with BDD are highly likely to seek cosmetic dental treatment. However, the provision of such treatment is contra-indicated. This article will identify simple techniques for practitioners to screen for and manage patients with BDD. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article addresses the management of patients with a specific psychiatric illness who are likely to present for cosmetic dental treatments.

The literature on bloodstream infections (BSIs) have predominantly been biased towards bacteria, given their superior clinical significance in comparison with the other types of microorganisms. Fungal pathogens have epidemiologically received relatively less attention, although they constitute an important proportion of BSI aetiologies. In this review, the authors discuss the clinical relevance of fungal BSIs in the context of Candida species, as well as treatment options for the infections, emphasizing the compelling need to develop newer antifungals and strengthen antimicrobial stewardship programmes in the wake of the rapid spread of antifungal resistance.

The following case reports describe the clinical features, diagnosis and management of two patients who presented to their general dental practitioner with a complaint of orofacial paraesthesia. After appropriate investigations, both patients were diagnosed as having benign intracranial tumours and were managed by a neurosurgeon. These cases illustrate the important role the general dental practitioner has in the early recognition of potentially life-threatening conditions.

Systemic therapy is one of a number of treatment options routinely used in the management of advanced, unresectable neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). In contrast to many of the other NET treatment modalities, there is at least some evidence base to justify its use. Even so, well-designed clinical trials are limited, since conducting clinical research in this complex group of rare cancers is challenging. The remit of this review article is to summarise the oncology literature and explain the role of systemic therapy in treating NETs of gastroenteropancreatic origin, identifying benefits and limitations. The molecular biology of NETs is now being unravelled, which affords new opportunities for development of mechanism-driven therapies. The rationale for some of the newer systemic targeted therapies that are showing promise in the clinic is discussed.

Aneurysm Dissection

Open surgical repair of lesions of the descending thoracic aorta, such as aneurysm, dissection and traumatic rupture, has been the “state-of-the-art” treatment for many decades. However, in specialized cardiovascular centers, thoracic endovascular aortic repair and hybrid aortic procedures have been implemented as novel treatment options. The current clinical results show that these procedures can be performed with low morbidity and mortality rates. However, due to a lack of randomized trials, the level of reliability of these new treatment modalities remains a matter of discussion. Clinical decision-making is generally based on the experience of the vascular center as well as on individual factors, such as life expectancy, comorbidity, aneurysm aetiology, aortic diameter and morphology. This article will review and discuss recent publications of open surgical, hybrid thoracic aortic (in case of aortic arch involvement) and endovascular repair in complex pathologies of the descending thoracic aorta.

Renal Origin

Patients with critical limb ischaemia (CLI) constitute a subgroup of patients with particularly severe peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAD). Treatment modalities for these patients that often exhibit multilevel lesions and severe vascular calcifications are complicated due to multiple comorbidities, i.e. of cardiac and vascular but also of renal origin. These need to be taken into consideration while planning treatment options. Although CLI is associated with considerably high morbidity and mortality rates, the clinical outcome of patients being subjected to revascularisation has improved substantially in recent years. This is mainly due to improved secondary prevention strategies as well as dedicated endovascular innovations for this most challenging patient cohort. The aim of this article is to provide a discussion of the contemporary treatment concepts for CLI patients with a focus on arterial revascularisation.

Skin Disorders

Vicharchika (Eczema) is a skin disorder with predominance of Pitta Kapha Dosha, with clinical features like Kandu, Srava, Pidaka, Shyavata, Rookshata, Raji, Ruja and Daha mainly in the extremities. It is the second commonest skin disease affecting all age groups, with incidence rate of 2-3% and high rate of recurrence. Ayurveda emphasizes Shodhana therapy as the main line of treatment in skin disorders. Raktamokshana is indicated as Rakta is mainly involved in Vicharchika. In the present study, two treatment modalities were selected to find out which is more appropriate.
