    Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2022
    Context: The ongoing pandemic has affected all the spheres of life and one of the severely affected avenues is the education of a child. The online education has seen an upward curve since the start of COVID-19 pandemic. Schools globally have adopted online class tutorials as the main method to impart education and directly increasing the screen time for a child. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cytological effects of prolonged mobile phone usage on the buccal mucosa of children. Settings and Design: Stratified sampling was used for the selection of subjects for the study. After a questionnaire regarding the usage of a mobile phone was distributed among the parents of children. Among them, 90 children were selected on the basis of pattern and frequency of mobile phone usage in the child. Materials and Methodology: The children were divided into three groups based on the per day hours of viewing of mobile phone, i.e., Group 1: Usage of 1–2 h a day, Group 2: Usage of 3–6 h a day, and Group 3: Usage of >6 h a day. The time frame taken into consideration was 1 year after the pandemic started. This was specifically to understand the impact of the online education. Swab was obtained by using the conventional ice-cream stick method from the buccal mucosa. Statistical Analysis: The samples were subjected to histological and microscopical analysis to observe for cytological changes. One-way ANOVA was used to determine the statistical significance if any. Results: The results obtained clearly showed that Group 3 (>6 h usage per day) showed the highest number of cellular and chromosomal aberrations which was significant. Conclusion: The results indicated that impact due to the prolonged screen time on the buccal mucosa is significant. A direct proportionality was seen between the apoptotic changes and chromosomal aberrations and the number of daily hour usage.

    Journal of Young Pharmacists, 2015
    Objectives: The present in vivo study is done to compare and evaluate the retention of the traditional hydrophobic pit and fissure sealant with a hydrophilic resin-based sealant on first permanent molars and to compare the sealant retention in maxillary and mandibular first permanent molars. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial 212 permanent first molars from 76 subjects are considered in this study. Out of which 106 right side upper & lower first molars were sealed with Delton FS (Group I) and the remaining 106 left side upper & lower first molars were sealed with Embrace Wet Bond sealant (Group II). Clinical evaluation by both visual and tactile examination was carried out -immediately after sealant application, at 1,6,12,18 and 24 months using Simonsen’s criteria. Results: At the end of two years 67.9% of permanent molars of group II showed completely retained sealants compared to 45.3% of permanent molars of group I. Conspicuously 56.6% upper teeth in group II retained sealant, whereas only 17% of upper teeth retained sealant in group I and is statistically significant (p=0.01). Conclusion: It can be concluded that hydrophilic sealant may be used as effective pit and fissure sealants especially in children with high risk of caries, excessive salivation, mentally and physically challenged, very young children, uncooperative child and partially erupted molars and community care programs.

    Journal of International Society of Preventive and Community Dentistry, 2014
    Objectives: To prevent accidental ingestion of implant hex dive. Materials and Methods: Dental floss which is used to stabilize the hex drive is tied to the operator's finger ring to overcome sudden aspiration of fallen instrument. Results: It showed excellent grip of the instrument during stage two uncover time and also saved operators time. Conclusions: Accidental aspiration or swallowing of the dental instruments during routine implant surgeries can be prevented by tying the implant instruments to the operator's ring with silk ligatures or dental floss.
  • Choosing public health dentistry as a career: A cross-sectional study
    Guntipalli M. Naidu
    Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
    OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the attitude of dental students towards considering Public Health Dentistry as their future career. MATERIALS AND METHODS A questionnaire based, cross-sectional survey was conducted, which included dental students from different years of study. It consisted of 27 questions that were graded on five point Likert scale. RESULTS A total of 293 of the 320 registered undergraduate students participated in the study, with an overall response rate of 91.5%. Among the sample, 80 (27%) were males and 213 (73%) were females. Among the total sample which was studied, it was observed that only one third (35.4%) of them had high attitude towards selecting Public Health Dentistry as a future career, and nearly two thirds of them (58.02%) had an average attitude, with very few students having low attitude (6.48%). CONCLUSION The present study concluded that there was an average attitude of 58% among dental students, which showed that they had a considerable amount of interest in pursuing post graduation in this speciality. Efforts should be intensified, both by dental council and by the dental colleges, to develop this speciality, keeping in mind the increasing attitude of dental undergraduates towards it. This also helps in increasing the number of dental personnel who are specialized in implementation of oral health policy, which does not exist in India.

    Journal of International Society of Preventive and Community Dentistry, 2014
    Background: Frail and functionally dependent elderly people, living in institutions, have difficulties in accessing dental care. Hence, the present study aims to determine the relationship between subjective need and the equivalent clinical findings in an attempt to understand the factors that contribute to individual's perception of the need for dental care among institutionalized adults in Vijayawada. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study is conducted in all old age homes in Vijayawada. A total of 182 subjects were interviewed with a questionnaire consisting of demographic details, dental behavior (last visit, reason for the last visit), and self-rating of oral health and impact of oral problems, followed by the clinical examination for oral mucosal condition, dentition status and treatment needs, prosthetic status and treatment needs, and periodontal status by using World Health Organization proforma. Results: Results showed that normative needs of subjects are significantly more than the self-perceived needs. Response of subjects regarding their present condition of mouth and teeth is 65.4% of subjects reported good and 0.5% reported poor, with respective to perceived oral symptoms 61.9% of subjects’ complaints of hypersensitivity and 23.1% of subjects were having toothache and 80.5% subjects are having difficulty in eating. The overall prevalence of complete Edentulous and require complete denture was 12.1%, and 60.4% required partial denture. Conclusion: About half of the participants confirmed need for problem-oriented dental care. The main reason for the problems faced by the institutionalized people is due to lack of teeth which could be prevented by appropriate care.
