Abstract: The peri-implant level of bone around a dental implant is regarded as an important criterion for assessing the success of an implant. Platform switching is a concept that aims at the reduction of crestal bone loss around implants by restoring implants with a smaller diameter abutments so that the implant abutment junction (IAJ) is horizontally repositioned inwards and away from the outer edge of the implant platform. This positioning is regarded as an important prerequisite for preserving the integrity of gingival margins and interdental papillae .This review aims at summarizing the importance of platform switching.

Abstract: Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a self-limiting wart, resulting from pox-virus infection. The disease is generally seen on the skin of children or in the ano-rectal region of adults. This lesion is rare on the lips or in the oral cavity and if it does occur, then it is due to immuno-compromised status. MC generally produces a dome-shaped nodule that can be umbilicated. We report a rare case of a 52-year old leucopenic man with intra-oral MC infection and post radiotherapy low grade soft tissue tumor in an old operated case of intra-oral malignancy. This patient had an atypical ulcero-proliferative tumor-like growth in his right gum.

Key Words: Molluscum contagiosum (MC), post radiotherapy, low grade soft tissue tumor

Abstract: Core build-up is one of the most important steps to restore a severely damaged, fractured or extensively carious tooth. As the core becomes an integral part of the load bearing structure of the tooth, it should provide resistance and retention form for the coronal restoration and possess sufficient strength to resist occlusal forces. An ideal core build-up material should have physical properties similar to those of tooth structure. Restored tooth, allows complex stress distribution pattern along the tooth and restoration interface, producing compression, tension or shear stress.The process of mastication is basically related to shearing phenomenon and the true nature of the adhesive..........

Abstract: Background and Aims: Premedication in children is necessary to allay fear and anxiety before surgery and provide a smoother anaesthesia for the children. The search for a perfect premedicant has been on and continues. So we have done this study to find out a good premedication out of the ones widely used. Oral midazolam and Oral triclofos were compared as a premedicant in paediatric patients coming for daycare surgeries in our study. Methods: Double blinded randomised clinical trial was conducted.150 children of ASA class 1 were randomly allocated into 2 groups, one group received oral midazolam 0.5 mg/kg body weight and the other group received oral triclofos 75mg/kg body weight. Drug acceptance score, parent separation score and mask acceptance score were compared among the two groups. Sedation scores were recorded at various time intervals and after 45 minutes of drug administration in both the groups. Also the hemodynamic variables and adverse effects were recorded in both......

Abstract: In this study a comparison was made between two different dosing schedules of Magnesium Sulfate with respect to prevention of fits primarily, when applied to two groups of severely preeclamptic women. We conducted the study on 150 severely preeclamptic women at third trimester carrying singleton pregnancy, and were randomly allocated into two groups, Group L and Group S. Group L received only 5 gm I.M. loading dose with 2.5 gm I.M. maintenance dose of Magnesium Sulfate, whereas Group S received the standard Prichard regime. This study revealed the incidence of eclampsia to be 3% and 4% in Group L and Group S respectively. Spontaneous.........

Abstract: Despite India being the first country in the world to launch a large scale family planning program, the stigma surrounding family planning has been prevailing and contraception has been a bottleneck in the national programs for long. The current study was conducted to assess the reaasons related to non-acceptance of injectable contraception (injectable DMPA). The current qualitative study was conducted among the beneficiaries who refused injectable contraception at the Antara Clinic of Medical College, Kolkata. One-hundred and eighteen participants were included in the in-depth interviews and responses were noted. Among the respondents 62% had earlier........

Abstract: A tunnel cluster, more formally tunnel cluster of the cervix and cervical tunnel cluster, is a benign group of dilated endocervical glands in the cervix. It is significant only in that it can be confused for a malignancy[1]The clinical and histologic features of cystic endocervical tunnel clusters (CETC) are not well known. Unwary pathologists have sometimes mistaken CETC for endocervical adenocarcinoma or interpreted them as "adenomatous hyperplasia."mistaken CETC for endocervical adenocarcinoma or interpreted them as "adenomatous hyperplasia." The present study describes a case of 50 years old female who presented with heavy menstrual bleeding. A biopsy was performed and the result of histopathological examination indicated multiple dilated endocervical glands focally.

Abstract: Carcinoma of uterine cervix is common cancer among women worldwideTreatment for locally advanced canxer is concurrent chemoradiation . The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical response of the cervical cancer 1 week after concurrent cisplatin based chemotherapy and external beam radiation . Response was assessed clinically.Significant response was noticed after concurrent chemoradiation . It was concluded that concurrent chemotherapy and external beam radiation reduces the tumor size and it forms major part in treatment of carcinoma cervix along with brachytherapy.

Abstract: Objectives: To compare visual outcome after cataract extraction in diabetics and non- diabetics Method: Prospective observational hospital based study. Minimum of 50 diabetic patients and age and sex matched non- diabetic patients admitted for cataract extraction were selected. Visual acuity and fundus examination was done pre- operatively and post- operatively on day 1, day 7 and after 1 month Result: Visual outcome in diabetic patients after cataract extraction is comparable to the results in non-diabetic patient if the diabetics have no retinopathy and have good glycemic control. Conclusion: This study was carried out to investigate outcome of cataract surgery in diabetic cases and with intention of making recommendations for improved care.

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of two distraction rate of periosteal distraction on bone. A custom-made dynamic periosteal distraction device consisted of titanium perforated plate fixed to the lateral surface of the mandible in 12 adult rabbits. After an initial healing period of 7 days, the device was activated at a rate of 0.25 mm every 12 hours for 6 days in 6 animals (group 1), and at rate 0.5mm every 12 hours for 3 days in 6 animals (group 2). The animals were sacrificed after of 8 weeks of consolidation period. The specimens were then fixed, decalcified, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The histological evaluation showed a various amount of new bone formation with large spaces between bone trabeculae in the two groups. Although, the amount of new bone was greater in the group 2. The results of the present study showed that reducing the distraction rate increases bone formation..

Abstract: Introduction: The preparation in prosthodontics and especially in dental laminate veneers is very technically demanding.. Magnification improves the ability of the eye to resolve details and allows the clinician to see greater than it is possible with the eye alone. Aim:The study is to evaluate the impact of optical magnification on the precision of tooth preparation under simulated clinical conditions in digital manner. Material and methods: 40 plastic upper left incisors are divided into 2 groups- prepared with naked eye and with compound loups. Laboratory scanning device is used to scan the teeth both before and after the preparation and digital measurements are done to evaluate the accurateness of tooth preparation depending on the magnification. Results: The results show statistical difference in precision between naked eye and optical magnification. Conclusion: The preparation under magnification of loups is much more precise. Even though, in both groups the quantity of cut tissues it more than the supposed quantity which may affects the quality of the adhesive bond..
