ABSTRACT The patients loose tooth/teeth for various reasons at different year of age. The most common reason are caries and periodontal disease. There is debate on the main cause out of these two. This may vary depending on other variables like age, food habits, general condition. The other causes of tooth extraction are failure of endodontics, fracture, infection. Some disease free teeth need to be sacrificed for orthodontic or prosthetic treatment plan. There is need of evaluation of reasons for tooth mortality. This will be the indicator of status of oral health awareness among population and success of oral healthcare delivered. In a prospective survey at our department collected data of 1186 subjects undergoing extractions of tooth/teeth. This data were evaluated for age and gender distribution, prevalence of reason for extraction and that of each tooth type in both arches. Aim The aim of survey is to study of prevalence and reasons of extraction of teeth according to age groups. In this prospective survey, the data were collected from the outpatient registration desk of extraction room of department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of Government Dental College and Hospital, Mumbai, India. The assessment of the data was done by a single senior faculty. The data were analyzed for age, gender, reason for extraction and tooth/teeth extracted. Total 1,568 extractions were performed on 1,186 subjects. Conclusion The dental caries and its sequel is the principal reason for extraction of teeth followed by periodontal disease. The first molar of both arches is the tooth extracted most frequently for caries and its sequel in young age group of 15 to 25 years. How to cite this article Manekar VS, Kende P, Kulkarni S.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of dental caries in patients with cleft lip and/or palate and their cleft-free sibling controls. Methods: The two subject groups (patient and control) comprised 106 participants. The former group consisted of 53 patients with cleft lip and/or palate, aged 12 to 29 years, who visited the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital at Damascus University of Syria. The control group consisted of the patients’ siblings who had no clefts, and they were sex matched to the patient group. Dental caries were examined clinically and were reported using the decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) index. The DMFT scores were compared between the two groups. Results: The author found an overall association of dental caries with the presence of cleft lip and/or palate (odds ratio  =  2.52; 95% confidence interval  =  1.389–4.574; p < .05). The DMFT index scores were proportionally higher in patients with cleft lip and/or palate compared with the control group (p < .001). Conclusion: Subjects with cleft lip and palate are susceptible to dental caries independently of socioeconomic status.

ABSTRACT Objective: Tooth extraction is a commonly performed procedure in dental clinics. It has been shown that the reasons for and pattern of tooth extraction vary across geographical regions. Few reports on the pattern of extraction among a semi-urban populace exist. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study on the pattern and reasons for tooth mortality from Sokoto, Northwestern Nigeria, which is a semi-urban region. Materials and Methods: A review of the records of patients that had tooth extraction at our center between January 2009 and January 2016, was done. Data such as the age, gender, type of tooth extracted, and reasons for extraction were retrieved and analyzed. Cross tabulations for age and gender were also made. The level of statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: A total of 1167 extractions were performed in 984 patients. An age range of 18–107 years with a mean (±standard deviation) of 34.8 (13.3) was observed. Most of the patients were in the 21–30 years age group accounting for 35.7% of cases. Dental caries and its sequelae (DCS) (631, 54.1%) were the most common reasons for extraction, followed by periodontal disease (192, 16.5%). The difference in proportions of reasons for tooth extraction between the gender was statistically significant (P = 0.02; df = 24). The difference in the reasons for extraction among the age groups was statistically significant (P < 0.001; df = 132). Conclusion: DCS along with periodontal disease were the major reasons for extractions. These are largely preventable causes of tooth extraction; therefore, there is a need for commencement of far-reaching preventative actions.

Background: The buccally displaced canines (BDC) are more commonly encountered conditions in orthodontic clinics. It is a positional variation result of several factors such as retained deciduous canines, crowding, and lateral incisors anomalous. Aims: To determine the prevalence and gender differences of one-two-three-four buccally displaced canines in the area of Shah-Alam, Malaysia. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 399 subjects; was consist of two age groups; 208 subjects of school children aged 12 years and 191 subjects of adults aged 18-23 years were examined clinically to determine the prevalence of BDC. Statistical analysis: The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 16; a Chi-square test was performed to assess the gender differences. Results: No gender differences were found in the school-children group while in the adults group a significant gender difference was found regarding one and four canine displacements (P < 0.05). The prevalence of one-two-three canine displacement was higher significantly between the two groups (P < 0.05). However, the frequency of one canine displacement was higher significantly in adult females and girls (P < 0.05). The frequency of three canines displacement was approximately equal in both genders. Conclusion: The frequency of one canine displacement was higher significantly in females. However, the frequency of four canines displacement was higher significantly in males. These features may help in providing additional clinical signs in diagnosis and interception of such clinical situation. It will be effective in treatment plan procedure if canine displacement is detected early, help clinicians on the prevention of impaction possibility.

ABSTRACT Aim To report a case of association between the surgical treatment of temporomandibular dysfunction and rehabilitation with denture total prosthesis (TP) using nonanatomic teeth (cusp 0°) in patients with anterior recurrent dislocation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and persistent uncontrolled mandibular movement, showing a technical adaptation and conduct. Introduction There are several treatment approaches available for dislocation of the TMJ. The use of condylar mini-anchors for recurrent TMJ dislocation is a valid option and should be considered since it does not alter the joint anatomy. In edentulous patients undergoing TMJ surgical procedures, prosthetic rehabilitation can be seen as a means of treatment preservation. Case report A 73-year-old female patient attended the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic presenting with joint instability, ligament laxity, and chronic recurrent TMJ dislocations. She had already been through three previous unsuccessful surgical procedures. A treatment plan was done based on the installation of a mini-anchor in the patient's TMJ through the preauricular surgical access. Dislocations were then resolved, but the lack of mandibular control even to a lesser extent after surgery precluded the use of prosthetics even at rest. Thus, it was planned to manufacture two conventional TPs with 0° cusp angle teeth, a clinical protocol shortened to three sessions in an attempt to improve the stability of the prosthesis. Conclusion The use of an individual mini-anchor is simple and effective, and the use of artificial teeth is well suited to the case. Clinical significance A multidisciplinary intervention (surgery/ prosthesis) is of utmost importance for the resolution and preservation of the treatment of these complex cases.

The Aberdeen Royal Infirmary oral and maxillofacial surgery department is involved in the joint planning of cases with the orthodontic and restorative departments of the Aberdeen Dental Hospital to agree an optimal treatment plan for patients, with input from all three specialties. A 7-year-old girl was referred to the orthodontic department by her GDP due to non-eruption of the upper left central incisor. This was related to an associated dentigerous cyst. This presentation illustrates the phases of treatment involving marsupialization of the dentigerous cyst; surgical extraction and orthodontic treatment in order to provide the patient with the optimal outcome for her dentition. A retrospective assessment of the case is presented through photographs and radiological imaging outlining the chronology of the treatment and the outcome of marsupialization of the dentigerous cyst. It highlights this more conservative surgical approach as giving the best chances of preserving unerupted teeth in a younger patient. Marsupialization of a dentigerous cyst associated with UL1 and conservative management of cystic pathology led to preservation and natural mesial eruption of UL3 into the position of UL1. The unerupted UL1 associated with cystic pathology was extracted due to its ectopic position and root dilaceration. Seven years after diagnosis of the dentigerous cyst associated with the unerupted UL1, surgical and orthodontic management has facilitated the for patients tooth to erupt into the UL1 position. Restorative treatment is being planned following orthodontic treatment to restore for patients tooth to simulate the missing UL1. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case encourages the appropriate referral of young patients with dentigerous cysts to achieve a satisfactory outcome.

Prosthetic Surgery

Pre-prosthetic surgery is part of the oral and maxillofacial surgery, which concerns restoration of facial form and oral function. Pre-prosthetic surgery is a surgery done to obtain a better anatomic environment and to provide proper supporting structures for denture construction. The aim of this study was to analyse the various pre-prosthetic surgeries performed in a private dental institution. In this retrospective study, digital case records of all patients who underwent pre-prosthetic surgeries in Saveetha Dental College and Hospital from June 2019 to March 2020 were reviewed. Demographic details of patients and types of pre-prosthetic surgeries performed were recorded from digital case records. Retrieved data was analysed using IBM SPSS Software Version 23.0. Descriptive statistics and tests of association for categorical variables by Chi square tests were done and results were obtained. P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. In this study, we observed that pre-prosthetic surgery was more commonly performed in the age group of 51-60 yrs (23.3%). Pre-prosthetic surgeries were done more in males than females. The most common type of pre-prosthetic surgery was valvuloplasty (62.2%), followed by frenectomy (20.7%). Statistically, a significant association was found between pre-prosthetic surgery and age group; pre-prosthetic surgery and gender; pre-prosthetic surgery and quadrant involved (p<0.05) Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that the most common pre-prosthetic surgery performed was valvuloplasty. Pre-prosthetic surgery was performed more in males and the age group of 51-60 years, mostly in the third quadrant.

Cigarettes and other forms of tobacco are known to be highly addictive, the use and production of which are on the rise. Tobacco use is a risk factor in the development of diseases especially oral cancer, affects negatively wound healing in maxillofacial surgical procedure, and periodontal therapies. Therefore, the need for tobacco cessation programs on patients among Maxillofacial surgeons and the trainees is necessary. Objectives- This is to assess the perception, attitude, and the influence of age, gender, duration of practice, and environment/religion on the cessation counseling carried out by Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons Methods- A prospective questionnaire-based study. A survey was carried out by sending validated, structured self-administered pretested questionnaires to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery trainees and specialists in tertiary hospitals in different parts (North, South, and West) of Nigeria. The questionnaire assessed perceptions and attitudes- of the respondent, as well as the influence of age, gender, duration of practice, and environment/religion on in-clinic tobacco cessation. Results- A total of 44 individuals participated in the study. More respondents from senior registrars 19(43%), and with the majority from the Teaching Hospital 33(75%) out of the three cadres of institutions where the survey was done. Male to female ratio of respondents was 1:2.1, with the mean age of the participants 36.7. All agreed to the need for tobacco cessation counseling among Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons, only 37(84.1%) believe that in-clinic counseling will significantly reduce the prevalence of oral cancer. Age groups, sex, religion, designation, and the years in practice have a significant relationship with the participant perception-related question p=0.001, as well the like use of religious and professional techniques in counseling smokers (p<0.05). The gender of study participants had a significant influence on their perception of the need for in-clinic tobacco cessation counseling. Conclusion- Tobacco cessation program within the health institutions is tested and an affirmed avenue to stop or reduce the associated risk factors with substance use. Therefore, need for policymakers in health sectors to organize training programs for Maxillofacial surgeons. Key words: Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons, Tobacco cessation, attitude, and perceptions, in-clinic counseling.
