Prevention of Implications of Poor Posture and Physical Inactivity among Dentists
Get PDFLong sitting hours, sedentary lifestyle has taken a toll on the well-being of the species. Studies have time and again reported that posture related problems in dentists has shown a very high prevalence. As the art of dentistry requires a lot of precision and patience, it can cause a plethora muscle and back-related problems. Most of these musculoskeletal problems are confined to the head and neck region and are usually due to long hours put in by the dentist while treating his patients. A Bad posture during the dental procedures put the dentist at risk for various dental procedures, however, it has been noted that there is lack of awareness about the implications of bad posture and physical inactivity amongst the dentists. This review is on the prevention and implications of poor posture and physical inactivity among dentists
Ergonomics: Need of the Hour
Get PDFThe success in any practice is dependent on efficient workflow, with minimum risk to injury and cumulative trauma. Work in a dental office calls for deftness in cognitive abilities and can, more often than not, be physically challenging. Repeated use of movements and postures that go against the natural or anatomical alignment and limitations of the human body often lead to what is known as cumulative trauma leading to development of musculoskeletal disorders. The whole idea of ergonomics in the workplace is to avoid any such exigencies. Through this review it is intended to bring forth the widely known yet often neglected aspect of dental practice; that is the human factor in workplace efficiency

Esthetic Management of Maxillary Midline Diastema (MMD) using Composite Restoration: A Case Report
Get PDFTreatment of a Maxillary Midline Diastema (MMD) poses a challenge to the clinician, especially when time is a constraint. The use of composite resins provide a conservative approach with minimal tooth loss is less time consuming, and requires fewer dental visits. The present case report describes the closure of MMD in a patient using bulk filled composite resins with favourable results
Odontogenic Keratocyst: An Enigma
Get PDFOdontogenic Keratocyst (Primordial cyst) is known amongst clinicians for its peculiar behaviour, origin of varied nature, discussions regarding its development and a unique tendency to recur. Hence, it has been the subject of interest over the past 40 years. These cysts can occur singly or multiply, as a part of Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS). The objective of this case report and discussion is to emphasize that proper examination, diagnosis and appropriate treatment is vital to prevent recurrence of the lesion
Incidence of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars with Their Pattern and Associated Complications in Nepalese Population
Get PDFINTRODUCTION: Impaction may be defined as the failure of complete eruption into a normal functional position of one tooth within normal time due to lack of space in the dental arch, caused by obstruction by another tooth or development in an abnormal position.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted on 945 patients (males=591, females=354) aged between 18- 50 years of age who had mandibular third molars impacted. The difficulty index for mandibular third molar for angulation and depth was based on Winter’s classification (1926).RESULTS: The most common type of impaction seen was Mesio- angular with (32%) followed by horizontal 264 (27.8%), then followed by other types. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0CONCLUSION: Impacted third molars are a common observation in routine dental practice. The impaction rate of third molars is higher as compared to other teeth in the dentition. The high prevalence found in the present study, with more than half of these Nepalese adult patients having at least one impacted third molar
A Case Report on Mandibular Second Molar Regarding Single C-Shaped Canal
Get PDFC-shaped canal variation is commonly seen in mandibular second molars. Extra canals is not always a variation in root canals. Radiograph is a must for the identification of single canal. Thorough idea of the proper anatomy of root canals is utmost important to diagnose the variations
Trace Elements in Dentistry: A Review
Get PDFAs human body needs in and around two thirds of all the elements so as to maintain the health and our human body contains elements which are well known as abundant elements as well as trace elements. Due to biological and chemical reactions, trace elements, being part of a few enzymesare very important. They work not in collaboration with proteins but definitely with other co-enzymes. At earlier stage dental profession was involved with the field of trace elements and their association with dental disease. So, understanding of these trace elements is essential and significant for disease control as well as for optimal health
