Xerostomia or dry mouth refers to a condition in which the function of salivary gland to secrete saliva is not enough to keep the mouth wet. Systemic diseases, local factors and various drugs are believed to be the causes. A sticky, dry or burning sensation in the mouth, altered taste or intolerance for spicy, salty or sour foods and cracked lips are believed to be the signs of xerostomia. So, the patients of xerostomia require distinctive care for upkeeping the oral health condition and, it is our obligation to treat such condition which involves multidisciplinary approach. Different approaches used nowadays are sugar free chewing gums, artificial saliva, sucking sugarless candies which provide symptomatic relief but recurrence is probable when treatment ends and drugs like direct acting cholinergic agonists can promote salivation but has various side effects alongside. So, to overcome such limitations,neuroelectrostimulatory devices were introduced in today's world as recent advancements in the management of xerostomia. This review aimed to describe theseneuroelectrostimulatory devices.

ABSTRACT Halitosis is a general term defined as an unpleasant or offensive odor emanating from the breath, arising from either oral or nonoral sources. Extraoral factors, such as ear-nosethroat conditions or gastrointestinal, respiratory, and systemic diseases, may also contribute to oral malodor. Although, halitosis has a multifactorial etiology, local factors play an important role in the majority of cases. Halitosis may lead to significant personal discomfort and social embarrassment. Assessment of halitosis can be performed using organoleptic measurements, sulfide monitoring, gas chromatography, microbial testing and chemical test strips. Management approaches are based on masking oral malodor, reducing the levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), and mechanical and/or chemical treatment. This review aims to identify the etiology of oral halitosis, describe the methods available for assessment and differential diagnosis and introduce a variety of management strategies. The importance of a multidisciplinary approach for the improvement of overall health and for the management and prevention of halitosis is highlighted. How to cite this article Mokeem SA.

Dushta Vrana is a common and frequently encountered problem faced in surgical practice. The presence of Dushta Vrana worsens the condition of the patient with different complications and may become fatal. Local factors on wound like slough, infection and foreign body, affect the normal process of healing. A healthy wound in a normal body heals earlier with a minimum scar as compared to a contaminated wound. Therefore in this study all the efforts are made to make a Dushta Vrana into a Shuddha Vrana. Once the Vrana becomes Shuddha, Ropana of the Vrana will start. The objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jatyadi Taila and Jatyadi Ghrita in Dushta Vrana. Clinically diagnosed 60 Patients of Dushta Vrana were randomly divided into two groups, each consisting of 30 Patients. Group A were treated with the Jatyadi Taila and Group B was treated by Jatyadi Ghrita. The results observed was based on the relief obtained on the subjective and objective parameters taken for consideration for this study viz, size of ulcer, discharge, smell, pain, burning sensation, itching and granulation were found significant (P Lass Than 0.05). On the basis of assessment criteria and overall result of treatment, the patients of Jatyadi Taila group showed better results when compared to Jatyadi Ghrita group. Even though statistically there is no much significant difference between the two groups, but by seeing the effect on individual parameters (subjective and objective) and over all response, Jatyadi Taila seems to be effective when compared to Jatyadi Ghrita. It is having more Ropana qualities when compared to Shodhana.

Intraepithelial Lesion

Vaginitis in postmenopausal women is termed as atrophic vaginitis, characterised by vaginal bleeding or spotting, vaginal discharge and discomfort or dryness in vulva. As the symptoms are not usually disclosed by women it may become chronic and can adversely affect the quality of life. In cervical intraepithelial neoplasia the squamous epithelium of cervix is replaced by the cells of varying degree of atypia. Even though CIN1 and CIN2 regress spontaneously, untreated CIN1 and CIN2 lesions may progress to invasive carcinoma. Ayurvedic management for the above conditions focuses on symptomatic relief and improvement of general health and immunity. Oral medication and Sthanika Chikitsa like Kshara Karma and Varthi play vital role in this. A 70 year old lady presented with complaints of burning sensation and itching over genital area. On examination haemorrhagic spots were observed on vaginal walls. She was sent to Early Cancer Detection Centre for cytological screening. The reports showed low grade sqamous intraepithelial lesion. She was managed with oral medications and Sthanika chikitsa. During follow up she was relieved from the symptoms like burning sensation and itching over genital area and vaginal discharge. Bleeding spots on vaginal walls were absent and cytology revealed a negative smear for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy. From this case report it is evidenced that Ayurvedic treatment modality is effective and successful for the management of Atrophic vaginitis with CIN.

Structural Anomalies

Etiology of abnormalities in tooth structure has been subject of numerous studies but still has not been fully understood. Heredity is an established etiological factor for many types of structural anomalies of the teeth. Factors that cause changes in enamel structure may be genetic, immunologic and teratogenic or systemic diseases. Genetic changes may include individual genes, micro deletions or chromosomal defects. Systemic diseases can be associated with anomalies of tooth structure and diversity of clinical picture requires a multidisciplinary approach to the therapy. Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) represents a large group of structural abnormalities of the teeth. AI can exist independently or as a part of large number of syndromes and systemic diseases. Knowledge of clinical presentation, etiology, pathogenesis of structural anomalies of the teeth and their association with certain systemic diseases is of great importance to everyday dental practice in terms of prevention, prognosis and therapy. Also, it is necessary to expand basic knowledge of pediatricians in regards to the clinical picture of anomalies in tooth structure and their possible association with a wide range of systemic diseases and syndromes, in order to provide comprehensive clinical treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to present etiopathogenesis and classification and to describe the most important abnormalities of enamel structure and their association with systemic diseases and syndromes.

Gustatory Perception

Nowadays, number of studies covering issues of disorders of human gustatory sensitivity under effect of general and local factors is increasing. However, alterations of gustatory perception in orthodontic patients are studied insufficiently. The purpose of study. To determine quantitative and qualitative alterations of gustatory sensitivity in individuals bearing for a long time intra-oral orthodontic constructions. The sampling included 15 examined patients aged from 11 to 37 years being on the stage of orthodontic treatment (in average from 6 months to 1 year) at the chair of orthodontics of the A.E. Evdokimov Moskovskii state medical stomatological university. The gustatory sensitivity was investigated using gustometry technique identifying threshold of gustatory sensitivity i.e. the least concentration of solution of gustatory substance that provokes sensation at applying on tongue. In addition, attention was paid to health condition of patient, presence of harmful habits and food addictions. The studies demonstrated that in patients on various kinds of gustatory sensations (sweet, salted, bitter, sour) developed altered gustatory sensations that шт relation to normal reactions were higher, lower or within the limits of norm. The highest number of mistakes were observed in case of identification of soar and salted solutions. The dynamic observation testifies alteration of gustatory perception in examined patients during all period of treatment. Therefore, studies are to be continued increasing their duration and number of patients with purpose of making more concrete conclusions about dynamics of human gustatory sensitivity under bearing intra-oral orthodontic constructions.

Periodontitis is a multifactorial bacterial infection that causes destruction of tissues surrounding the tooth. Its relationship with numerous systemic diseases was confirmed in vast studies. Concerns of maternal and fetus wellness are raised by gestational diabetes mellitus and prepregnancy diabetes causing need for regular periodontal control. The paper is a review of available literature published in medical databases (PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE) and in Polish dental journals in the years 1999-2018. Diabetes is one of the risk factors for periodontitis occurrence and its exacerbation. In pregnant women there may be an exacerbation of the already existing periodontal disease. Periodontitis in pregnant patients with diabetes is associated with the risk of many complications for both the mother and the fetus. Pregnant women with diabetes should be under constant control of a gynecologist, diabetologist and dentist. Periodontal care in such patients should focus on rapid diagnostics of periodontal diseases and the implementation of appropriate treatment. Future mothers should be educated that oral health can affect pregnancy, childbirth and the health condition of mother and the child.

The term ‘genital disease’ refers to a spectrum of diseases. Certain systemic diseases preferentially affect mucous membranes. Local factors including warmth, occlusion, irritants, and friction are important and contribute to skin disease in this region and increase the risk of certain infections. Skin conditions may be difficult to diagnose, as they may have atypical appearances. Therefore, the diagnosis of disease in the anogenital region may be complex. This chapter will focus on the most common diseases seen in the dermatology clinic: lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, eczema, genital pain syndromes, and pre-malignant and malignant disease. Other less common dermatological conditions seen in this area will be briefly covered.
