    Periodontal disorders (PD), also known as gum disease, involve inflammation and infection of the gum and bone tissue, which are preventable and treatable. Many worldwide suffer from such conditions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Risk factors related to periodontitis include poor oral cleanliness, regular alcohol consumption, betel quid chewing, and intake of tobacco. PD also raises the risk of fatal systemic diseases by provoking systemic inflammation. Oral homeostasis and prevention of periodontitis require healthy microbiota. PD results from alteration of the oral and gut microbiome environment. This host-microbe equilibrium interruption leads to inflammation, and tissue breakdown further acts to nourish the pathogens. There are several surgical and non-surgical means for managing PD. However, the positive impact of probiotics, which include the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, on PD has been noted. Probiotics kindle the immune system and synthesize antiinflammatory cytokines that activate T regulatory cells. They also build antimicrobial molecules and inhibit oral pathogens. This narrative review was done to note the effects of probiotics on PD. The research used electronic search engines, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. This study indicates that probiotics may be used as adjuvant therapy for gum disease. This may aid in faster healing, and since probiotics are found in accessible food sources like yogurt, the wider population may benefit. Thus, the global population may enjoy excellent oral health and an improved quality of life. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 24 No. 02 April’25 Page : 331-361

    Megha C Patel, Rohan K Bhatt, Kaushal R Joshi, Foram C Patel, Nasrin A Gori, Kaksha B Choksi
    International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2024
    Introduction Optimal pain management of symptomatic pulpitis in formative years goes a long way in developing a positive dental attitude. Efforts should be made to increase the success of anesthesia, thus diminishing negative dental experiences. The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of preemptive analgesia on the success of pulpal anesthesia following inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) in children with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and on reducing postendodontic pain. Materials and methods The research design was an in vivo, three-group, parallel, quadruple-blind study. A total of 75 patients were randomly allocated to one of the three groups—group I: ibuprofen, group II: combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol, and group III: multivitamin (placebo). Premedication was given 45 minutes before treatment, and patients received IANB in a standardized manner. Pain during pulpectomy was recorded using the face, legs, activity, cry, consolability (FLACC) scale and postoperatively using Wong–Baker's pain rating scale (WBPRS) at 4, 12, and 24 hours. Success was measured if the pain felt was of no or mild intensity. Results Success of IANB was 64% for ibuprofen, 72% for the combination group, and 40% for the placebo group, with no statistically significant difference between all groups (p = 0.06) on the FLACC scale. At 4 hours postoperatively, a significant difference (p = 0.02) was found among groups with more children experiencing no or mild pain in groups I and II and the highest number of rescue medications taken by the placebo group. Conclusion Ibuprofen and a combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen as preemptive analgesics had no significant effect on the success rate of IANB, although it was effective in reducing pain at 4 hours postoperatively.

    Rohan Bhatt, Megha C Patel, Vishakha G Kataria, Foram C Patel, Disha G Makwani, Kaushal Joshi
    International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2023
    Aim: The study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic success rate of Ketac Universal (3M), GC 9 EXTRA (GC), and Cention N (Ivoclar) restorative materials in primary molars. Materials and methods: = 25). Class I restorations were placed randomly according to the computerized randomization in primary molars and evaluated at baseline (1 week), 6 months, and 12 months according to modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria and bitewing radiographs. Results: = 0.04*) at 12 months. Conclusion: Newly introduced restorative material Cention N exhibited improved physical and mechanical properties and can be recommended as a cost-effective restorative and easy-to-use material in posterior load-bearing primary molars. Clinical significance: Restoration of primary teeth continues to be an important aspect of restorative dentistry. The longevity of restorations in primary teeth is significantly different for all materials compared to permanent dentition. This makes the assessment of these restorations as a separate group meaningful.

  • A comparative assessment of efficacy and preference between needleless device INJEX and insulin syringe for anesthetizing primary maxillary teeth in children aged 4.9 years: A split-mouth crossover randomized clinical study
    Megha Patel, Rohan Bhatt, Miral Mehta, Chhaya Patel, Foram Patel, Disha Makwani
    Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2023
    Background: Managing pain in children is the most challenging task as it forms the foundation for instilling positive behavior toward dental treatment. Adequate local anesthesia (LA) is the cornerstone of pain management. However, the fear of needles, particularly in young children, can result in complete avoidance and refusal of treatment. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy and preference between needleless device INJEX and insulin syringe for anesthetizing primary maxillary teeth in children aged 4–9 years. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical study included 46 children aged 4–9 years. The patients were digitally allotted to receive 4% articaine for extractions of primary maxillary teeth, either using needleless device INJEX or insulin syringe on each side of the maxillary arch, in two different appointments after a 1-week washout period. Pain perception was measured by the subjective (Faces Pain Scale–Revised [FPS-R]) and objective pain scores (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability [FLACC]) and hemodynamic parameters (heart rate and oxygen saturation) during LA administration and during extractions. After the second appointment, children were asked about their preference between needleless device INJEX and insulin syringe. Results: On evaluating subjective pain scores with FPS-R, intergroup differences between the INJEX and insulin syringe groups were found statistically insignificant, both during LA administration (P = 0.101) and extraction (P = 0.080). However, on assessing pain objectively during extraction using FLACC, the mean pain score was less with insulin syringe (2.78) as compared to INJEX (4.72) and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.000). There was no significant difference in patient preference between the two methods. Conclusion: Pain perception was minimal during local anesthesia administration using needleless device INJEX; however, its clinical efficacy during extractions was reported to be lower than insulin syringe.
  • A comparative evaluation of light cure calcium silicate and resin-modified glass ionomer as indirect pulp capping agent in primary molars: A randomized clinical trial
    Roshni A. Bhatt, Megha Patel, Rohan Bhatt, Chhaya Patel, Kaushal Joshi, Disha Makwani
    Dental Research Journal, 2023
    Background: Minimally invasive techniques should be employed to maintain pulp vitality without affecting physiological tooth resorption for pediatric patients. This study aims to evaluate clinical and radiographic success of light cure calcium silicate and resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) as indirect pulp-capping agent in primary molars in children between 5 and 9 years. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, 40 primary molars with the International Caries Detection and Assessment System criteria 4–6 score were divided randomly into two groups after computerized randomization method. After caries excavation by minimally invasive dentistry principle, affected dentin was lined by either light cure calcium silicate (Group I) or RMGI (Group II) liner followed by composite restoration. Clinical success was determined with the absence of symptoms and bitewing radiographs were taken at baseline, 3, and 6 months' interval to measure increase in dentin increment using ImageJ software. Statistical analysis for intergroup comparison was done using Paired t-test, and Independent t-test was used for intragroup comparison. The level of statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: Change in dentin increment seen from baseline to 6 months in Group I was 0.19 mm and in Group II was 0.20 mm (P = 0.924). Intragroup increment was statistically significant during all follow-up intervals for both the groups (Group I – P ≤ 0.001, Group II – P = 0.009). For baseline remaining dentin thickness >1.5 mm, statistically significant increase was observed in the dentin increment at 3 months' interval between both the groups. Conclusion: Both TheraCal LC and Vitrebond show acceptable clinical and radiographic results when used in primary molars as indirect pulp treatment agents. Both the liners are equivalent to each other in terms of feasibility and cost-effectiveness but TheraCal LC can be preferred due to better handling and avoiding the manipulation step thereby reducing treatment time.
  • Evaluation of silver-modified atraumatic restorative technique versus conventional pulp therapy in asymptomatic deep carious lesion of primary molars - A comparative prospective clinical study
    Megha C Patel, Disha Makwani, Rohan Bhatt, V. Raj, Chhaya Patel, Foram Patel
    Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2022
    Background: Lately, a paradigm shift from radical to conservative approach has popularized the selective caries removal over complete excavation in deep caries. Indirect pulp therapy over pulpotomy is being preferred due to risk of questionable pulp vitality in carious exposure of pulp. Silver diamine fluoride can be a useful tool for noninvasive caries management due to its antimicrobial and remineralization properties. Aim: The study aims to evaluate the success of minimum intervention approach using silver-modified atraumatic restorative technique (SMART) as indirect pulp treatment compared to conventional vital pulp therapy in symptomless deep carious lesions of primary molars. Materials and Methods: In this comparative, prospective, double-blinded, clinical interventional study, 60 asymptomatic primary molar teeth with international caries detection and assessment system score 4–6 were selected in children aged 4–8 years and were randomly allocated into SMART and conventional groups. The success of the treatment approach was assessed using clinical and radiographic criteria at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months interval. Results: Data were analyzed using Pearson Chi-Square test at a significance level of 0.05. Conventional group showed 100% and SMART observed 96.15% clinical success at 12 months follow up (P > 0.05). One radiographic failure due to internal resorption at 6 months in SMART and one in the conventional group at 12 months was reported though the difference was insignificant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Removal of all infected dentin in deep carious lesions is not required for successful caries treatment and SMART can be recommended as a potential biologic approach to manage asymptomatic deep dentinal lesions, based on optimal case selection.

    Megha C Patel, Lilavanti L Vaghela, Rohan K Bhatt, Chhaya N Patel, Kaushal R Joshi
    Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice, 2021
    AIM To compare clinical performance and parental satisfaction with composite strip crown and prefabricated zirconia crown for primary anterior teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study compares clinical evaluation and parental satisfaction of two different crowns for primary anterior teeth. A total of 102 teeth in each group selected between ages 3 and 6 years, who met the inclusion criteria, were randomly allocated into two groups for further evaluation. Group A for strip crowns (55 teeth) and group B for zirconia crowns (47 teeth). The crowns were evaluated clinically with various criteria like-color match, crown retention, gingival health, crown contour, opposing tooth wear, marginal integrity, and recurrent caries. The samples were also evaluated for parental satisfaction based on 5-point Likert scale and child liking was also recorded with Smiley face Likert scale at baseline, 3 and 9 months. Statistical analysis was done using Chi-square test (p <0.05). RESULTS Zirconia crowns showed better color match, crown retention, crown contour, and gingival health. Strip crowns showed more discoloration and chipping of material over a period of time. None of the samples showed opposing tooth wear, open margins, and recurrent caries in strip and zirconia crown group. Parents and children both were highly satisfied with zirconia crowns. CONCLUSION Clinically zirconia crowns showed higher success rate as compared to strip crowns and parental overall satisfaction was higher for zirconia crowns. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Zirconia crowns exhibited a higher clinical performance and parental satisfaction; hence, if affordability is out weighted, zirconia crown stands better with esthetics of the child.
  • Non-metallic foreign body embedded inside tooth
    S. Kiran, A. Relwani, M. S. Patel, R. Bhatt
    BMJ Case Reports, 2014
    Children often exhibit habitual behaviour involving the oral cavity. The occurrence of foreign bodies such as toothpicks, pencil leads,1 staple pins, metal screws, crayons, tomato seeds, beads and needles,2 stuck in the pulp chambers, exposing traumatically or carious injured permanent and deciduous teeth, are identified by chance on radiographic inspection. A 10-year-old girl presented to the dental department with 3-day pain in the upper front tooth. Patient history revealed that the child had dental injury to the permanent upper right central incisor twice previously. Initial trauma occurred …
  • The prevalence of traumatic dental injuries to permanent anterior teeth and its relation with predisposing risk factors among 8-13 years school children of Vadodara city: An epidemiological study
    MC Patel, SG Sujan
    Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2012
    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE dental trauma is an irreversible pathology that after occurrence is characterized by life-long debilitating effects. The objectives of this study were to measure the prevalence of anterior teeth fracture and their association with predisposing factors such as lip coverage, molar relationship, overjet, and variables such as age, sex, cause, and place of trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS an epidemiological cross-sectional study was carried out among 3708 school children aged 8-13 years in the Vadodara city. All children completed a questionnaire related to history of trauma to their anterior teeth after which they were examined for lip competence, Angle's molar relationship amount of overjet and nature of trauma sustained. The results were statistically analyzed using the prevalence test, Chi-square test, and Mantel-Haenszel Common Odds Ratio. RESULTS the prevalence of traumatic injuries was 8.79% and the ratio of boys: girl's was 1.28:1. Inadequate lip coverage group sustained about five times more injuries than the adequate lip coverage group (P = 0.000, OR= 5.407). The maximum traumatic injuries were seen in children having Angle Class II Div 1 molar relationship and/or overjet greater than 5.5 mm and was statistically significant (P<0.05). Maximum number of injuries occurred at 9 years of age. The most predominant injuries were enamel fractures, the most common place for occurrence was home and fall against object, the most frequent cause. CONCLUSION the prevalence of dental injuries in the Vadodara city is high and it has a great potential to be considered as an emerging public health problem.
