  • Treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia Revisited for Longer Remission: A Series of 56 Cases
    Gursimrat K. Brar, S. P. S. Sodhi
    Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2024
    The primary challenge associated with peripheral neurectomy is the occurrence of spontaneous nerve regeneration. This study focused on addressing this issue by employing a novel approach involving the use of sticky (steaky) bone to obliterate the foramina post-peripheral neurectomy. The study involved 56 patients diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, divided into two groups. In group I, the proximal nerve stump in the foramina was chemically cauterized after peripheral neurectomy, while in group II, sticky bone was used to obliterate the foramina. After a 2-year follow-up period, group II exhibited a significant improvement in the mean Visual Analogue Scale scores. Additionally, cone-beam computed tomography analysis revealed a noteworthy reduction in the size of the foramina in group II at 2 years post-operatively.

    Asmita Sodhi, Deepinder P. S. Sodhi, Gursimrat K. Brar, Surinder P. S. Sodhi
    Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2024
    A mucocele is a prevalent benign oral lesion distinguished by the extravasation or retention of mucous within submucosal tissue originating from minor salivary glands. Mucoceles predominantly manifest on the lower lip, followed by occurrences on the floor of the mouth and the buccal mucosa. Trauma and lip biting habits are one of the main causes of lesions. Mucoceles are rarely observed in infants. This paper highlights an atypical case of mucocele located within the floor of the mouth in the first year of life (9 months old) in a child who was treated successfully with complete surgical excision, and the patient is on regular postoperative follow-up.
  • A Rare Complication of Maxillary Third Molar Extraction
    Gursimrat Kaur Brar, Vanita Keshav, Surender Pal Singh Sodhi, Ujjwal Chawla, Asmita Sodhi
    Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2024
    The removal of tuberosity post extraction of the maxillary third molar is a very rare complication and there has not been ample discussion in the literature. Forceful extraction of a maxillary third molar can lead to soft and hard tissue loss. Various techniques have been used for the management of such defects such as local flaps, free soft tissue flaps, free bone flaps, and even tissue engineering. We present a case report of a large post-traumatic defect of maxillary tuberosity caused by forceful extraction of the maxillary third molar, which was managed conservatively by secondary healing, and the patient is on regular follow-up.

    Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2023
    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been sweeping across the globe as a pandemic. Based on a retrospective analysis of SARS data from worldwide, it is summarized that the fungal co-infections associated with global COVID-19 might be missed or misdiagnosed. Along with, we report case series of fungal infections in the maxilla and in the orbit, who were successfully treated for covid-19 and are on regular follow-up.
  • Nitrous Oxide Inhalation Sedation Rapid Analgesia in Dentistry: An Overview of Technique, Objectives, Indications, Advantages, Monitoring, and Safety Profile
    Vineet Khinda, Dinesh Rao, Surender Pal Singh Sodhi
    International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2023
    Nitrous oxide inhalation sedation (NOIS) has been the backbone of anxiety alleviation in dentistry for a long time. Advantages of nitrous oxide (N2O) include anxiolysis, mild analgesia, and amnesia. It also has the ability to raise the patient pain threshold, providing rapid analgesia (RA), thus enhancing the action of any local anesthesia used. This paper describes the technique of NOIS in detail and highlights its objectives, advantages, indications, monitoring, and safety profile. Other than the specialty of pediatric dentistry, this paper also highlights the applications and merits of NOIS in adult, geriatric, and special healthcare needs dentistry. Away from dentistry, it also brings to light the multidisciplinary applications of NOIS in other medical streams. This review could be a valuable interpretation on the present position of N2O sedation in dentistry and a valuable starting point for future perspectives.

  • Evaluation of extracellular matrix changes among oral submucous fibrosis and oral squamous cell carcinoma patients of Malwa region of Punjab using special histochemical stains: An insight into cancerous transformation
    Piyush Gandhi, Harkanwal P. Singh, Halappa S. Thippeswamy, Surinder P. S. Sodhi, Mandeep Kaur, Neha Laskar
    Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2023
    Background: To assess extracellular matrix changes among oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients using special histochemical stains. Materials and Methods: Twenty biopsy specimens of OSMF and 30 biopsy specimens of OSCC were included in the present study. Among 20 OSMF specimens, 10 were of early OSMF and the remaining 10 were of advanced OSMF. Out of 30 OSCC specimens, 10 cases each were of well-differentiated OSCC, moderately differentiated OSCC and poorly differentiated OSCC. Three sections, each 4 μm thick, were obtained from all specimens. One section was stained with routine H&E staining, whereas the other section was stained with Masson’s trichrome (MT) stain for collagen and Verhoeff–Van Gieson (VVG) for elastic fibres. Evaluation of all specimens was performed under the light microscope. The arrangement of collagen fibres and elastic fibres was compared between the OSMF group and OSCC group, in between different grades of OSMF and in between different grades of OSCC. The results were evaluated using SPSS software. Results: Early OSMF cases were associated with fibrosis in the superficial lamina propria, whereas advanced OSMF had fibrosis involving deeper muscle fibres. In all early OSMF cases, elastic fibres were arranged in thin bundles, whereas in advanced OSMF cases, elastic fibres were in thick bundles. In well- and moderately differentiated OSCCs, the collagen fibres were arranged in thick bundles and in poorly-differentiated OSCCs, the collagen fibres appeared to be fragmented. The elastic fibres in well-differentiated OSCC and moderately-differentiated OSCC were thickly arranged, and poorly-differentiated OSCC showed thin fibres and 70% of cases showed the absence of elastic fibres. Conclusion: Changes observed in both collagen and elastic fibres in the extracellular matrix (ECM) can be taken as a study model to further understand the progression of OSMF to OSCC using histochemical stains.
  • Physiological Effects, Psychomotor Analysis, Cognition, and Recovery Pattern in Children Undergoing Primary Molar Extractions under Nitrous Oxide Sedation Using Two Different Induction Techniques: A Split-mouth Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
    Nikhil Marwah, Gurlal S Brar, Vineet Khinda, Dinesh Rao, Surender PS Sodhi
    International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2022
    Nitrous oxide inhalation sedation (NOIS) has been in use as a tool for pharmacological behavior modification and relative analgesia (RA) for well over 170 years now since its discovery in 1844 by the American Dentist Horace Wells. Advantages include raising of the pain reaction threshold, alteration of both pain sensitivity and pain reaction, reduction of fatigue, and time awareness that helps to handle stress and lengthy appointments. In addition, the most important clinical consequences of Nitrous Oxide (N2O) pharmacokinetics are rapid induction and recovery, reversibility, titrability, and adjustability. The goal of the current investigation was to analyze the safety aspects of nitrous oxide sedation. It was carried out on 25 patients within the age group 7-10 years requiring extractions of two primary molars in each patient. Split-mouth design was followed, with the first extraction done under traditional slow induction while the second extraction was done following the rapid induction technique of NOIS. N2O was studied for its physiological effects, psychomotor analysis was done, cognition and recovery patterns were analyzed utilizing the two different induction techniques. Based on the results obtained, it was found that N2O is a very safe and useful drug that delivers a comfortable patient for dental treatment.

  • Assessment of the anterior and caudal extent of inferior alveolar nerve canal, location of inferior alveolar canal and mental foramen, and the depth of submandibular fossa using computed tomography
    Tahir Ahmad, Deepak Kumar, Ramandeep Brar, Chintan Narad, S.P. S. Sodhi, Amandeep Kaur
    National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 2021
    Background: A well-versed knowledge of the precise location of various anatomical landmarks is necessary to avoid complications during surgery. The study was conducted for the assessment of the anterior and caudal extent of the inferior alveolar nerve canal, location of inferior alveolar canal and mental foramen, and the depth of the submandibular fossa using computed tomography (CT). Materials and Methods: One hundred CT scans were randomly selected for this study accounting for 200 hemimandibles. Both axial and coronal images were obtained and evaluated concurrently. Results were subjected to statistical analysis for correct inferences. Results: A total of 200 hemimandibles (n = 200) from 100 patients with a mean age was 23.89 ± 1.75 years ranging from 21 to 33 years were evaluated. The mean length of the anterior loop was 0.95 mm for all of the observation combined and measurement range from 0 to 5.1 mm. The total frequency of type I, type II, and type III of mental nerve was found as 71%, 4.5%, and 24.5%, respectively. At the level of the first molar, the mean distance from the center of the inferior alveolar canal to the external surface of the buccal cortex (Q) was 5.44 ± 1.38 mm ranging from 2.4 to 10.4 mm. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in MF-IMB (mental foramen to the inferior border of mandible) between the right and left sides of the mandible. (P = 0.87). Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that analyzing CT scans using the methods described in this study can be a useful tool in avoiding the iatrogenic injuries to inferior alveolar nerve and arteries during various maxillofacial surgical procedures.
  • Adequacy of dental education and environment health
    Sonu Gupta, Ravinder Nath Bansal, Surender Pal Singh Sodhi, Samriti Bansal
    Journal of Punjab Academy of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, 2019
    Introduction: Healthcare institutions have been growing in proportion to the increased affordability and awareness among public. Advances in techniques has helped dentist perform complex procedures like treatment of fractures, reconstruction surgeries, dentures, implants and bone grafting. To fulfill these dental requirements, dentists need to use variety of materials, consumables and implants. All these activities lead to generation of wastes including bio-medical waste (BMW) which is inevitable. Such healthcare waste has potential to cause injury and spread infection, if not handled and managed appropriately.
  • Risk factors for hepatitis C: A clinical study
    Sonu Gupta, SurenderPal Singh Sodhi, GursimratKaur Brar, RavinderNath Bansal
    Journal of Medical Sciences Taiwan, 2018
    Introduction: Hepatitis C is caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is classified into 6 genotypes. It leads to chronic liver disease in majority of cases resulting in morbidity and mortality. Awareness of cause of a disease prevents its progression in the community so knowledge regarding the cause of infection (HCV) is necessary to devise a strategy to prevent its spread. The present study was undertaken to assess the incidence, prevalence, and cause of Hepatitis C among the Malwa region of Punjab, India. Materials and Methods: Seven hundred and forty hepatitis C-positive patients were included in the study. Prevalidated questionnaire was designed to collect their demographic information including age, gender, demographic area, occupation, and clinical information including the history of dental treatment (extraction, root canal treatment, and scaling), blood donation, blood transfusion, surgical intervention, drug abuse (oral or intravenous), and tattooing. Collected data were analyzed by statistical tests. Results: Among the study population, a large number of patients, that is, 84.8% presented with a history of dental treatment indicating that a number of 190 (25.6%) patients had received dental treatment from family dentist and 175 (23.6%) from referral dentist, that is, from the government hospital. A large number of patients 270 (36.5%) had received dental treatment from Quacks in the past. Blood transfusion was received by 8.1% and 17.6% had donated blood in the past. Conclusion: The etiology of HCV is multifactorial with inadequate awareness about the routes of transmission of infection among patients, therefore, knowledge regarding this issue is important. The use of disposable syringes, sterilization protocol, disposal, strictly following biomedical waste management guidelines, and organizing continued medical and dental education programs, and workshops will help in preventing the spread of HCV infection.
