Avant-Garde Dentistry: Eyes in the Future and
Feet in the Present
Irineu Gregnanin Pedron
PDF
Show Abstract
The latest SAODS Editorials brilliantly presented new forefront
technologies in the world of Dentistry, which are increasingly being
employed in various dental specialties [1-4].
The digital flow in Dentistry, intraoral cameras, cone beam
tomography and digital and portable radiographs, dental lasers,
biomaterials and nanotechnology, personalized prostheses and
3D printing are some examples of technological advancements
that are commonly used in dental clinics daily [1-4]. We followed
the evolution and use of platelet-rich plasma to the current stage,
using fibrin-rich plasma. In the near future, tissue bioengineering
and stem cells will be a common part of the clinical and surgical
arsenal available to the dental surgeon [3].

Association between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
and Periodontal Disease
Navneet Kaur, Priyanka and Arun Garg
PDF
Show Abstract
Introduction: A relationship between poor periodontal health and respiratory disease has been suggested by various studies
available in the literature. The present study was conducted to evaluate potential association between periodontal disease and
respiratory diseases and clinically coordinate the severity of periodontal disease with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Materials and Methods: 100 patients of COPD (test group) and 100 Patients without COPD (Control group) were engaged for this
present study. Patients with COPD were categorized into mild, moderate and severe category on the basis of Spirometry. Periodontal
health was assessed by measuring probing pocket depth (PPD), Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL) and Oral Hygiene Index (OHI).
Results: COPD patients had a higher mean periodontal index (OHI, PPD and CAL) than those without COPD. A distinct trend of an
increase in the periodontal parameters (OHI, PPD and CAL), was noticed with increase in the severity of the COPD (according to
GOLD criteria). The association was found to be statistically significant. The mean score of FEV1/FVC and severity of FEV1/FVC
was significantly more among COPD group in comparison to the non-COPD group. There was a significant difference in mean FEV1
between mild, moderate and severe COPD groups and also significant difference between moderate group and severe group.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it might be concluded that the risk for COPD emerged to be significantly
increased when attachment loss was found to be severe. It is believed that oral interventions improve oral hygiene status and might
be shown to lower the severity of lung infection in susceptible populations.

Show Abstract
The installation of osseointegrated implants and the subsequent implantoprosthetic rehabilitation present predictability and
longevity. The alveolar process may undergo dimensional changes after tooth loss, complicating implant installation. Additionally,
other conditions, such as oral pathologies - like odontoma or periapical lesions - may compromise implant installation. Due to this
difficulty, the installation of implants is frequently associated with regenerative procedures, seeking the preservation of the alveolar
ridge, bone regeneration and gains in bone tissue height or thickness. The purpose of this article is to present the case about the
installation of osseointegrated implants and prosthetic rehabilitation in a region with odontoma. After excision of the lesions, platelet-
rich plasma was applied. After 6 months, the patient had osseointegrated implants installed and after 6 months the implant prosthesis
was made. The case has been followed for 20 years with the installation of osseointegrated implants and implantoprosthetic
rehabilitation of the patient. The complementary benefits of platelet-rich plasma adjacent to the installed osseointegrated implants
were discussed.

Condylar Aneurysmal Bone Cyst in Paediatric Patients: Series of 3
Cases with Literature Review
Sujata Mohanty, Anjali Verma and Paminder Singh
PDF
Show Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) involving condyle is an unusual clinical presentation with only 11 cases below 12 years of age
reported till date in English literature. We present a series of three paediatric patients with condylar ABCs and focus on diagnostic
and therapeutic approaches in children based on our own experience and a critical review of the literature. In our cases of ABC
condyle, resection was followed by immediate reconstruction of ramus condyle unit with costochondral graft as a primary choice.
Minimum follow-up period was of one year was done to confirm a successful functional and aesthetic outcome of the treatment.

Tele Education in Iranian Dental Universities During
COVID-19 Pandemic
Kimia Ghods
PDF
Show Abstract
The pandemic of coronavirus which started in December 2019 has quickly impacted the entire world including our country. Iran's
government has responded with a lock down which involved shutting of dental universities and a shift from traditional classrooms to
online classes and e-learning. Although this approach can offer an innovative solution to resume dental practice during this pandemic,
yet there are many challenges for acceptance and improvement of teledentistry to overcome. In this letter we discuss the advantages
and disadvantages of tele education and its influence on dental students training process.

Coping with Shifting Landscapes in Healthcare; Incorporating
Public Health into Dental Practice
Abidemi Alabi
PDF
Show Abstract
In order for the demands of healthcare to be met in the coming
years, dentists need to rise to the challenge of the rapidly changing
healthcare environment. This need arises from changes noticed
over the course of the last few decades, in dental practice patterns.
It has become increasingly important for dentists to learn to manage
and lead intra-professional and function in inter-professional
health teams, as well as effectively communicate with other professionals,
patients, and communities; and essentially, being more
health-oriented. There is a need to obtain knowledge and skillset
to improve on the current practices and raise the standard to stay
afloat in the future. Practicing dentists need to collaborate with
both professional leaders and the practice community. This will
serve as a platform to develop policies and agendas towards the
delivery of high standards of care to individuals and the community
at large [1].

Forensic Dentistry and the Identification of the Iatrogenic Lesion in the Patient In Vivo
Irineu Gregnanin Pedron and Rafaela Rodrigues Cavalcanti
PDF
Show Abstract
Forensic Dentistry is part of the forensic sciences and is considered
part of Forensic Medicine. It is a specialised service that helps
the Judiciary with the purpose of identifying people supposedly
involved in crimes or legal matters (civil, administrative, labour,
etc) [1-3].
Dental arch research is one of the objects of study of dental experts,
because, as well as fingerprints and DNA, they are unique for
each human being. In this perspective, the performance of experts
in the media, or in films, in the resolution of post-mortem cases is
well known [1-3]. However, as it happens in other forensic sciences,
especially in Medicine, it is possible for dental surgeons to act
as experts in the evaluation of cases and in the performance of forensic
tests in police institutions, associated to the government, or
in independent consultancies. Obviously, the performance of these
professionals depends on the legislation in force in each country,
determining the definitions of each crime [1,2].
