  • Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS)
    Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) The itchy, watery eyes, or that sudden tingling, itching or burning sensation in your mouth is all too familiar: it must be ragweed season again! After your soccer game, the juicy watermelon you share with a friend makes your mouth itchy, and you decide that maybe next time you will have to pass on the watermelon. But this is strange: you knew you were allergic to ragweed, but your reaction to watermelon is brand new. Although there is still so much we do not know about allergies, we do know that certain types of foods, or pollen like ragweed, are common culprits when it comes to giving the body an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions happen when a person’s immune system recognizes certain proteins called allergens, as foreign or unsafe. The body’s immune system then triggers an allergic response, like the swelling in your tongue and lips, to fight off the allergen. Oral Allergy Syndrome Some allergies can be much more complex, even downright sneaky. Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) is one such allergy. Certain types of fruits, vegetables, and nuts can trigger OAS, but you can also develop OAS even if you were not previously allergic to any of these foods. OAS only occurs in people who have pollen allergies. It is caused by allergens in fruit, vegetables and nuts that are very similar to allergens in pollen. Most only experience oral symptoms, but about 10% can experience nausea or stomach upset, and less than 5% will develop more serious whole-body allergic reactions, such as generalized hives, trouble breathing, or loss of consciousness.

Failure of the tooth to fully erupt into the oral cavity within its expected developmental time period and can no longer reasonably be expected to do so. A tooth that can not, or will not, erupt into its normal functioning positions. Impacted tooth. An impacted tooth is one that is erupted, partially erupted or unerupted and will not eventually assume a normal arch relationship with the other teeth and tissues. Unerupted tooth. Includes impacted teeth and teeth that are in the process of erupting. Impacted teeth seen in the following order of frequency: 1. Mandibular third molars. 2. Maxillary third molars. 3. Maxillary canine. 4. Mandibular premolar. 5. Maxillary premolar. 6. Mandibular canine. 7. Maxillary central incisors. 8. Maxillary lateral incisors. Systemic factors: • Syndromes. Cleidocranial dysplasia. • Endocrine deficiencies. Hypothyroidism. • Irradiation. Local factors: • Obstruction for eruption. Irregularity in position of an adjacent tooth. Density of the overlying soft tissue or bone. Prolonged deciduous tooth retention. Supernumerary teeth. • Tooth ankylosis. • Dilaceration of roots. • Malposed tooth germs. Local factors: • Pathological lesions. • Cleft lip and palate. • Arch-length deficiency. Phylogenic theory. Mendelian theory. Clinical. Radiographic. • Periapical. Radiographic. • Periapical.

  • Avoidable Complication and Patient Care During Orthodontic Treatment
    Suhashini Ramanathan et al /J. Pharm. Sci. & Res. Vol. 7(12), 2015, 1096-1098 Avoidable Complication and Patient Care during Orthodontic Treatment 1 2 Dr. Suhashini Ramanathan BDS , Dr. Navaneethan Ramasamy MDS(ORTHODONTICS) Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals Chennai Abstract Aim: Orthodontic treatment helps in improving facial and dental aesthetics. Orthodontic treatment involves the usage brackets,bands,wires inside the oral cavity. During the course of treatment, proper care of the appliances by the patient and the Orthodontist is essential. Objective: Helps in better treatment and to avoid any complication during the course of the treatment. Background: The brackets and bands provide for a rough surface which leads to increased plaque and calculus accumulation. Arch wires, brackets and bands can also lead to ulcerations in the oral mucosa. The Orthodontic tooth movement also leads to certain complications like root resorption, gingival enlargement, loss of tooth vitality etc. This is further complicated by the allergic tendencies of the patient to certain materials used in Orthodontic therapy. Reason for the study: Hence it is imperative that the patient as well as the dentist is made aware of the various complications that can occur with Orthodontic treatment and how to deal with them.

  • Gingival Diseases in Children and Adolescents
    8932 Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, October-December 2020, Vol. 14, No. 4 Gingival Diseases in Children and Adolescents Sulagna Pradhan1, Sushant Mohanty2, Sonu Acharya3, Mrinali Shukla1, Sonali Bhuyan1 1Post Graduate Trainee, 2Professor & Head, 3Professor, Department of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Institute of Dental Sciences, Siksha O Anusandhan (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar 751003, Odisha, India Abstract Gingival diseases are prevalent in both children and adolescents. These diseases may or may not be associated with plaques, maybe familial in some cases, or may coexist with systemic illness. However, gingiva and periodontium receive scant attention as the primary dentition does not last for a considerable duration. As gingival diseases result in the marked breakdown of periodontal tissue, and premature tooth loss affecting the nutrition and global development of a child/adolescent, precise identification and management of gingival diseases is of paramount importance. This article comprehensively discusses the nature, spectrum, and management of gingival diseases. Keywords: Gingival diseases; children and adolescents; spectrum, and management.

  • Pathogenic Viruses Commonly Present in the Oral Cavity and Relevant Antiviral Compounds Derived from Natural Products
    medicines Review Pathogenic Viruses Commonly Present in the Oral Cavity and Relevant Antiviral Compounds Derived from Natural Products Daisuke Asai and Hideki Nakashima * Department of Microbiology, St. Marianna University School of Medicine, Kawasaki 216-8511, Japan * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-44-977-8111 Received: 24 October 2018; Accepted: 7 November 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: Many viruses, such as human herpesviruses, may be present in the human oral cavity, but most are usually asymptomatic. However, if individuals become immunocompromised by age, illness, or as a side effect of therapy, these dormant viruses can be activated and produce a variety of pathological changes in the oral mucosa. Unfortunately, available treatments for viral infectious diseases are limited, because (1) there are diseases for which no treatment is available; (2) drug-resistant strains of virus may appear; (3) incomplete eradication of virus may lead to recurrence. Rational design strategies are widely used to optimize the potency and selectivity of drug candidates, but discovery of leads for new antiviral agents, especially leads with novel structures, still relies mostly on large-scale screening programs, and many hits are found among natural products, such as extracts of marine sponges, sea algae, plants, and arthropods. Here, we review representative viruses found in the human oral cavity and their effects, together with relevant antiviral compounds derived from natural products. We also highlight some recent emerging pharmaceutical technologies with potential to deliver antivirals more effectively for disease prevention and therapy. Keywords: anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); antiviral; natural product; human virus 1. Introduction The human oral cavity is home to a rich microbial flora, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

  • Complications in Pediatric Facial Fractures
    Complications in Pediatric Facial Fractures Mimi T. Chao, M.D.,1 and Joseph E. Losee, M.D.1 ABSTRACT Despite recent advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pediatric facial fractures, little has been published on the complications of these fractures. The existing literature is highly variable regarding both the definition and the reporting of adverse events. Although the incidence of pediatric facial fractures is relative low, they are strongly associated with other serious injuries. Both the fractures and their treatment may have long-term consequence on growth and development of the immature face. This article is a selective review of the literature on facial fracture complications with special emphasis on the complications unique to pediatric patients. We also present our classification system to evaluate adverse outcomes associated with pediatric facial fractures. Prospective, long- term studies are needed to fully understand and appreciate the complexity of treating children with facial fractures and determining the true incidence, subsequent growth, and nature of their complications.
