Level Of Experience

The objective of this study was to examine whether factors such as insertion site, patient's facial pattern, microscrew features, type of tooth movement desired, level of experience handling orthodontic microscrews and operator expertise were associated with failure of microscrews. After the approval of an ethics committee, 166 patients of one practice signed an informed consent and received 293 microscrews randomly distributed by 3 operators with different levels of practical experience and expertise in handling microscrews. The microscrews were observed in a period of 365 days or as long as orthodontic forces had to be applied and independent variables were recorded. Analysis by the chi-square test did not produce enough evidence as to allow the assertion that there was an association between the variable "failure" and the variables "maxilla" (p=0.4775), "face" (p=0.1081), "facial pattern" (p=0.7522), "microscrew length" (p=0.9113), "desired movement" (p=0.0584), and "operator" (p=0.5785). The variable "insertion side" was significantly associated with "failure" (p=0.0022). In a 365-day survival analysis, the Log Rank test yielded a p-value of 0.00178 for the curve of variable "insertion side," and showed no significant differences for other variables. With a total success rate of 87.38%, the only variable found to be significant was "insertion side" (p=0.0022), with 3.088 more likelihood of a microscrew failing if placed on the left side than on the right side. The procedure of inserting microscrews involved a rapid learning curve for an inexperienced operator, which justifies their placement by orthodontists.

Objective: To estimate the maximum voluntary molar biting force (MBF) and incisor biting force (IBF) and their relationship to morphological variables in subjects with different vertical skeletal patterns. Materials and Methods: Maximum voluntary MBF, IBF, and morphological variables were recorded in 120 subjects (60 males and 60 females) with skeletal class I pattern in the age range of 14 to 24 years. All subjects were divided into 3 groups: Normodivergent, hypodivergent, and hyperdivergent, according to the maxillomandibular plane angle and Jarabak ratio. Bite force measurements were undertaken using a custom-made portable digital gnathodynamometer on the left and the right sides of the jaw in the molar and incisor regions during maximal clenching. Statistical analysis was performed using independent t-test, chi-square test, and ANOVA test using SPSS version 22.0.0.0 software. Results: MBF and IBF are influenced by gender with higher values obtained for male subjects in all groups in the following order: hypodivergent > normodivergent > hyperdivergent. No significant changes were seen with morphological variables in different groups. Conclusion: Molar and incisor biting forces are highest in hypodivergent subjects and least in hyperdivergent subjects as a reflection of jaw morphology and muscular efficiency. In all groups, males exhibit higher force values than females, underlining a strong gender influence on biting force and facial pattern.

ABSTRACT Objectives Previous studies showed there were variations in the interforamina distance of mental foramen between races. The aim of our study is to determine the interforamina distance of mental foramen among Malaysian populations. Materials and methods A total of 503 orthopantomogram (OPG) radiographs were observed. Interexaminer calibration was estimated using the Kappa-Cohen formula. A sheet of transparent paper was superimposed on the panoramic film and the mental foramen was traced on it by using a fine marker pen. A vertical line marking the midline was drawn passing between the maxillary central incisors, the mandibular central incisors, or the nasal septum by using a ruler. The distance of the mental foramen from the midline was then recorded from both the left and the right side. The data were analyzed using chi-square test. Results According to our inclusion and exclusion criteria, 110 OPGs have been excluded and 393 OPGs were selected. In the Malay population, the most common interforamina distance for a male is between 55 and 60+ mm (n= 73, 54.8%). Also, the most common interforamina distance for a female is 55 to 60+ mm (n = 84, 50%). In the Chinese population, the most common interformina distance for a male is between 55 and 60+ mm (n=60, 66.8%). Similarly, the most common interforamina distance for a female is between 55 and 60+ mm (n= 73, 53.8%). Among the Indian population, the most common interforamina distance for a male falls between 55 and 60+ mm (n= 53, 43.4%) and for a female as well (n=50, 54%). According to the chi-square test, the results show that the study is statistically insignificant since the p-value is >0.05 for both the male and female population. Conclusion There is no relationship between the interforamina distance and the ethnicity. The most common interforamina distance for all the races falls between 55 and 60+ mm.

Sinonasal Symptoms

Computed tomography (CT) of the para-nasal sinuses (PNS) has nowadays become the investigation of choice for the diagnosis of sinonasal diseases. Numerous sinonasal anatomic variants exist and are frequently seen on CT scans. A sound knowledge of these variations is important not only for diagnosis but also for planning surgery in order to avoid complications. The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of these variations in patients with sinonasal symptoms and also to determine their relation to sinonasal disease if any. A total of 76 patients were included in the study from August 2017 to July 2018 of which 43 (56.6%) were males and while 33 (43.4%) were females with male to female ratio of 1.3:1. The ages of patients ranged from 14 to 72 years with a mean age of 33.2±14.2 years. Out of 76 patients, 68 (89.5%) had at least one type of anatomical variation while 8 (10.5%) had no variation. Only one variation was seen in 39 (51.3%) patients while 29 (38.2%) had two or more variations. The most common variant was deviated nasal septum (DNS), occurring in 49 (64.5%) patients followed by concha bullosa (CB) and agger nasi cell (AN) seen in 15 (19.7%) and 14 (18.4%) patients respectively. Genderwise, anatomical variations were seen more in males but the difference was not statistically significant. Some variations were seen more on the right side while others on the left. Some variations were present bilaterally. The difference was not statistically significant. The presence of DNS was statistically significant in the study population (p value 0.012 in nonparametric chi square test). The age group 14 to 30 years showed maximum variations though not significant statistically. Therefore, during management of patients with sinonasal symptoms, these variations need to be addressed, if required, surgically. Proper knowledge of both common and uncommon sinonasal variations in our community could help in better surgical planning and overall management of sinonasal disorders.

Background & Method: This study was carried out at Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, when baby come to scnu, SPO2 is measured by pulse oximeter (ChoiceMMed MD300C2.). Fit the pulse oximeter on the foot, the light part of the sensor should be placed over soft tissue supported by a bony area. If the foot is cold or blue the pulse oximeter can be attached at the wrist. If the signal is poor re-position the probe. In a resuscitation situation the pulse oximeter should be attached to the right arm to read pre-ductal saturations. Result: In this study, 28.46% newborns oxygen saturation was less than 85% and 71.53% newborns oxygen saturation was more than 85%. In this study, 67.81% newborns having oxygen saturation less than 85% and 1.9% newborns having oxygen saturation more than 85% died during first 48 hrs of admission. Chi square test was applied and p value was <0.05 and was significant. Conclusion: Most of neonatal transports are self transport without any pre-treatment stabilization or care during transport These new born thus transported can become cold, blue and hypoglycaemic. This can have serious clinical implications. As it is seen in this study that all those babies who were given proper care during transportation were less affected & more over survival was also better among these babies.
