  • Neurosensory Disturbances Following Inferior Alveolar Nerve Relocation and Implant Placement: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
    Raffaele Vinci, Saverio Cosola, Korath Varkey M, Sowndarya Gunasekaran, Jaibin George, et al.
    Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025
    Background: Rehabilitation of atrophic posterior mandibles using dental implants is often complicated by anatomical limitations, particularly the proximity of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). Techniques such as IAN lateralization and transposition enable implant placement but are associated with neurosensory disturbances (NSDs). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the incidence, duration, and predictors of NSDs following IAN repositioning for implant placement and to evaluate the effectiveness of adjunctive methods like piezo-surgery and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in minimizing complications. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive search of electronic databases and gray literature identified 20 studies, including randomized controlled trials, prospective cohorts, and retrospective analyses published between 2009 and 2024. Outcomes analyzed included incidence of NSDs, recovery rates, implant stability quotient (ISQ), marginal bone loss, and implant success rates. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software, with heterogeneity and publication bias assessed using standard Cochrane tools. Results: Transient NSDs occurred in 15–40% of cases, with higher rates observed in transposition techniques. Most patients experienced recovery within 6 months. Piezoelectric surgery significantly reduced the incidence and duration of NSDs compared to rotary instruments. Meta-analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between lateralization and transposition techniques in ISQ, marginal bone loss, success rate, or NSDs at 3 months (p > 0.05). PRF was associated with accelerated nerve recovery. IAN repositioning is effective for implant placement in atrophic mandibles with a risk of transient NSDs. Conclusions: Lateralization combined with piezo-surgery and PRF shows favorable outcomes in minimizing nerve injury and optimizing implant success. The PROSPERO registration code is as follows: CRD420251086835.

    International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2025
    Introduction: Sleep quality in children is crucial for their growth and development. Sleep-related issues, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), are common among children. OSA involves partial or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to disturbed sleep patterns and potential health issues. Factors contributing to OSA include adenotonsillar hypertrophy, obesity, tongue position, and craniofacial abnormalities. Dentists play a vital role in identifying OSA as they frequently assess oral health. This study aimed to evaluate tonsil size, tongue position, obesity, and craniofacial deformities in children with OSA. Patients/methods: Ethical approval was obtained, and informed consent was collected from parents and assent from children. The sample consisted of 176 children aged 8-12 with diagnosed OSA. Inclusion criteria included the specified age range and parental consent, while exclusion criteria included genetic syndromes, craniofacial malformations, neuromuscular diseases, and certain neurodevelopmental conditions. Assessment tools included tonsil size, tongue position, skeletal and dental malocclusion, and obesity based on body mass index (BMI)-for-age percentiles. Results: (1) OSA prevalence was higher in children under 10 (60.9%) than in those aged 10-12 (39.1%). Tonsil size did not significantly vary with age. (2) Gender did not significantly affect tonsil size, tongue position, or obesity. (3) Tongue position assessments revealed posterior tongue positions [Friedman tongue position (FTP) III] in a higher proportion of children with OSA. (4) Obesity was prevalent in both genders, with no significant gender difference. (5) Dentofacial deformities showed that skeletal class II malocclusion was more common. Conclusion: This study highlights the significance of adenotonsillar hypertrophy, tongue position, obesity, and dentofacial deformities in pediatric OSA. Tonsillar hypertrophy was a prominent factor, emphasizing the need for assessment and intervention. Posterior tongue positioning was associated with OSA, indicating its role in airway constriction. Obesity was a notable risk factor, and dentofacial assessments can aid in identifying children at risk. Dentists can play a critical role in early OSA detection. Future research should explore longitudinal relationships between these factors and OSA and include a more diverse age range. Addressing these factors collectively can improve the management of pediatric OSA, enhancing children's overall health and quality of life.

    Sowndarya Gunasekaran, Soundarya Sakthivel, Reshma Elizabeth Rajan, Madhan Balasubramanian, Yash Suraj Latkar, Basil M. Mathew
    Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2025
    Fluoride exposure through drinking water is a public health concern due to its potential neurotoxic effects, particularly in children. Evidence from Indian populations remains fragmented and inconclusive. This study systematically reviewed and synthesized evidence on the association between fluoride exposure and cognitive development in Indian children. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar was conducted up to July 2025. Observational studies from India evaluating the relationship between fluoride exposure through drinking water and cognitive outcomes in children aged 0–18 years were included. Eleven studies with over 6000 participants were analyzed. Children exposed to fluoride concentrations greater than 2.0 ppm showed significantly lower intelligence quotient (IQ) scores, with a pooled effect size of −6.5 IQ points (95% confidence interval: −7.3 to −5.7). Subgroup analyses indicated greater susceptibility in children aged 6–10 years. The evidence revealed substantial heterogeneity and some publication bias. Limitations included the predominance of cross-sectional study designs and variability in exposure measurement and cognitive assessments. Elevated fluoride exposure is associated with reduced cognitive performance in Indian children. Regional defluoridation strategies and further longitudinal research are urgently warranted. Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO ID: CRD42023454735.
  • A Comparative Evaluation of Bonding Strength, Tensile Strength, and Microleakage of GC Hybrid Cement with Micro- and Nano-hydroxyapatite: An In Vitro Study
    Veena Arali, Sowndarya Gunasekaran, Nasreen Banu, Preethi Mahalakshmi
    International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2025
    Aim and background: The quest for optimal restorative material balancing function, biocompatibility, and durability is ongoing. Among these materials, glass ionomer cement (GIC) remains unique due to its fluoride release property and chemical adhesion to the tooth. To address its mechanical limitations, this study explores the incorporation of micro- and nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) into GC Hybrid to improve tensile strength, shear bond strength, and microleakage. Materials and methods: Thirty-three extracted human primary molars free of caries, defects, or previous restorations were collected and stored in saline. The control group (GC Hybrid), group 1 (GC Hybrid + micro-HA), and group 2 (GC Hybrid + nano-HA) underwent tensile strength, shear bond strength, and microleakage tests. For bonding strength, 27 teeth were prepared, treated, and tested for bonding failure using a universal testing machine. Tensile strength was evaluated on 27 cylindrical specimens using the diametral tensile strength (DTS) test. Microleakage was assessed on 6 molars restored with each material, analyzed under a stereomicroscope. Data were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: 0.01), followed by group 1, and least in the control group. Microscopic evaluation revealed no microleakage in group 2, reduced microleakage in group 1, and high in the control group. Conclusion: GC Hybrid with nano-HA demonstrated highest DTS and shear bond strength with no microleakage. In contrast, the control group exhibited lowest values with high microleakage, while GC Hybrid with micro-HA showed moderate improvements, indicating nano-HA significantly enhances bonding and mechanical properties of GC Hybrid. Clinical significance: Incorporation of nano-HA into GC Hybrid significantly improves the bonding and mechanical properties, reduces microleakage, and lowers the risk of secondary caries, making it superior to GC Hybrid alone or with micro-HA.

    Journal of South Asian Association of Pediatric Dentistry, 2025
    remineralizing agents such as nHA. 4 Consequently, newer nonfluoride remineralizing agents have been introduced, such as IntroductIonDental caries remains a major public health concern, especially among children, with approximately 530 million primary teeth affected worldwide (WHO, 2022).Fluoride-based agents are widely used for enamel remineralization due to their proven efficacy.However, concerns regarding dental and skeletal fluorosis have increased the demand for safer alternatives.Nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) has emerged as a promising biomimetic material that mimics the natural composition of enamel, providing biocompatibility and bioactivity without the risks associated with fluoride. 1 Enamel plays a crucial role in this process, and its porosity influences the rate of demineralization.The rate of demineralization is affected by the difference in the enamel porosity.Mean mineral concentration in the enamel of primary and permanent teeth differs greatly. 2 Human enamel is mainly composed of calcium phosphate, arranged as hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals (Ca(PO)(OH)) in a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 1:67.HA is the most stable and least soluble form of calcium phosphate, essential for enamel integrity.Loss of inorganic ions from HA crystals leads to enamel demineralization, which is caused by acid production by bacteria.Neutralization of this acidic environment will increase calcium ions and cause remineralization; hence, the use of fluoride as a remineralizing agent was recommended in the initial stages of caries lesions. 3 Although fluoride has demonstrated cariostatic effects over decades, its dose-dependent toxicity raises concerns about dental and skeletal fluorosis, prompting research into alternative 1,
  • Determination of gender and stature from crown dimensions of primary teeth: An Odontometric study
    Basil M. Mathew, Sowndarya Gunasekaran
    Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2025
    Background: Crown dimensions of teeth have been positively correlated with stature and gender. These odontometric values can aid significantly in the forensic identification of individuals in case of mass disasters as teeth are the least affected structures during such calamities. There is a dearth of studies investigating crown dimensions as a tool in forensic identification, especially in the pediatric population. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between stature, gender, and crown dimensions (occlusogingival [OG] height and mesiodistal [MD] width) in a pediatric population and to derive mathematical equations to predict stature and gender using these crown dimensions. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1057 South Indian children in the age group of 3–6 years. Impressions of the maxillary dentition were made, and casts were obtained. A Vernier caliper was used to measure the OG height and MD width of teeth 51, 52, 53, 61, 62, and 63. A measuring tape was used to measure the stature of the children, and the gender was noted. These data were subjected to statistical analysis to obtain the results. Results: Male children had a significantly higher mean MD width and OG height with respect to teeth 52, 53, and 62. A statistically significant positive correlation was seen in teeth 62 between stature and crown dimensions indicating an increase in stature with an increase in these crown dimensions. Conclusions: A positive correlation was affirmed between the crown dimensions of teeth 52, 53, and 62, stature and gender of the children. Mathematical equations were also successfully derived using these crown dimensions to predict the stature and gender of children.
  • An In Vivo Evaluation of Changes in Salivary pH in 3–9-year-old Children Using Chewing Gums (Xylitol) and Lollipops (Xylitol + Erythritol)
    Sowndarya Gunasekaran, Reshma E Rajan, Yash S Latkar, Veena Arali, Pradeep D Gainneos, Karteek Eswara
    International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2024
    Objectives: To evaluate the change in salivary pH using xylitol- and erythritol-containing lollipops and chewing gums, and assess the correlation between sugar substitutes and change in pH levels of saliva. Materials and methods: The present crossover study was conducted in 60 children between 3 and 9 years of age from a private school who had not received any meal for 2 hours prior to examination. There were three groups in this study: group I, control group (rinsing with tap water); group II, experimental group (with sugar substitute lollipops); and group III, experimental group (with sugar substitute chewing gums). The saliva sample was collected at three different time intervals, and the pH of saliva was determined using a universal pH indicator. Results: There was a highly significant difference observed in the pre- and postsalivary pH in all three groups, with the maximum increase seen in the lollipop group and the least increase seen in the control group. Conclusion: Lollipops can be used as a preventive measure in decreasing dental caries by preventing the salivary pH from falling below the critical level. Clinical significance: The use of sugar-substituted lollipops and chewing gums in raising pH levels was evaluated. This finding could be significant in supporting a shift from sucrose-based chocolates to sugar-substituted ones.

    Background: The escalating concern over Internet gaming disorder (IGD) among children underscores the urgency of comprehending its determinants and links to mental health, particularly for interventions targeting school-aged children. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of IGD and its association with depression, anxiety, and behavior among 8–12-year-old children attending private schools in Salem city. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study involving 780 children aged 8–12 years from Salem district was conducted. Schools were randomly sampled, and data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Materials and Methods: Data were gathered from children without genetic, systemic, or mental disorders and brain trauma. The questionnaire, adapted from Alhamoud M A et al. (2022), encompassed sections on sociodemographic characteristics, gaming behavior, and scales for assessing IGD, depression, and anxiety. Administration occurred during school hours with a 30–35 min completion time. Statistical Analysis Used: Data analysis utilized SPSS v23.0, including descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Chi-square tests for intergroup comparisons, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient to determine associations. Results: The prevalence of IGD in Salem district was 1.2%, with higher rates of anxiety and depression observed among older children, particularly males. Conclusions: A positive correlation was evident between IGD, anxiety, and depression. Urgent preventive measures have to be warranted to curb the rising trend of IGD, such as limiting screen time and promoting outdoor activities to enhance children’s overall health.

    Sowndarya Gunasekaran, Veena Arali, Reshma E Rajan, Vijayakumar Mohan, Arya A Vargheese, Yash S Latkar
    Journal of South Asian Association of Pediatric Dentistry, 2024
    Aim and background: Childhood dental fear often stems from painful stimuli and heightened pain perception. Needles, perceived as threatening instrument, triggers anxiety, exacerbating pain memory. Camouflaged syringes, shaped like toy alligators, conceal the instrument alleviating children's anxiety. This study aims to evaluate whether camouflaged syringes compared to conventional syringes have a favorable impact on the behavior and anxiety levels of the children according to variations in pulse rates, Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) behavior pain scale and facial image scale (FIS). Materials and methods: The study included 60 children divided into two age-groups (3–6 years and 6–9 years). It was also registered in Clinical Trials Registry, India (CTRI) as a prospective study with CTRI number CTRI/2023/08/056189. Conventional syringes were used in the first appointment, and camouflaged syringes in the second, employing a split-mouth design. Prior to block administration, a topical anesthetic gel was applied. Pulse rates were noted before and during the block administrations using a pulse oximeter. Behavior was evaluated by the FLACC scale before and during the administration of local anesthesia (LA). After the injection, children were expressed their anxiety during the block administration using FIS. Paired sample <i>t</i>-tests were used for (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05) assessing significant differences in bivariate samples. Results: In 3–6-year-olds, camouflaged syringes significantly improved FLACC pain scale and reduced anxiety according to FIS during LA, positively impacting children's behavior. Conclusion: Camouflaged syringes have a positive impact on children's behavior, especially in the 3–6-year-old age-group where cognitive abilities are limited. They enhance distraction, effectively reducing anxiety levels.
  • Gunther’s Disease: Esthetic Management of Erythrodontia with 1-year Follow-up
    Pranjal Sharma, Shanthala B Mallikarjun, Sowndarya Gunasekaran
    International Journal of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry, 2022
    Intrinsic tooth stains are more permanent in nature than extrinsic stains and can be divided into two types systemic and local. Erythrodontia is reddish-brown or reddish-black discoloration of teeth caused due to congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) or Gunther disease. It is the rarest type of porphyria and is usually perceived in infancy. An 8-year-old girl with erythrodontia was referred to a private clinic in the United Arab Emirates with a chief complaint of discolored primary teeth with a medical history of CEP and severe right sensorineural hearing loss. A complete esthetic rehabilitation was done. How to cite this article: Sharma P, Mallikarjun SB, Gunasekaran S. Gunther’s Disease: Esthetic Management of Erythrodontia; 1-year Follow-up.
