    Mehuli Kar, Aruna Sharma, Kaushik Dutta, Rekha Puttanavar, Sanguida A, Ezhumalai Govindasamy
    Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2025
    Background: The knowledge of dental age estimation is essential to assess growth and development which aids in designing a treatment plan. Willems and Cameriere methods are the two most widely used approaches of dental age estimation. Aim: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability and applicability of the two methods, among 6-14 year old children of Bengal populace. The secondary objective was to compare the efficacy of Sante DICOM Viewer and CorelDRAW Graphic Suite in assessing dental age by Cameriere method. Materials and methods: -test was applied for the inter group comparison. Pearson correlation coefficient was also used to measure the regression among all the groups. Results: Dental age was overestimated by 0.286 years using Willems method (p = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference between dental ages estimated by Cameriere method using both software (p = 0.130). Conclusion: Both the methods were equally applicable for age estimation in the targeted population. Cameriere method can be performed with equivalent accuracy using both software.
  • Cone‑Beam Computed Tomographic Evaluation of Prevalence and Internal Dental Morphology of Radix Entomolaris and Paramolaris in Mandibular First and Second Molars—A Retrospective Study
    Mousumi Biswas, Dibyendu Mazumdar, Siddhi Agarwala, Kallol Kumar Saha, Kaushik Dutta
    Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 2024
    Background: Failure to identify root canal variations (such as extra roots) leads to poor prognosis of endodontic therapy. The prevalence of the same should be known to the clinicians. Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of radix entomolaris (RE) and radix paramolaris (RP) and its anatomic variations in mandibular first and second molars in a tertiary care center in Kolkata, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Analysis of 305 CBCT scans (126 males and 179 females; mean age 24.72 ± 8.14 years) was done to evaluate 1220 molars (610 mandibular first molars (MFM) and 610 mandibular second molars (MSM)) to detect radix. Sex, unilateral/bilateral presentation, classification, root canal length, configuration, curvature, and inter-orifice distance were recorded. The results were analyzed with Chi-square test. Result: The overall prevalence of radix entomolaris was found to be 2.8% ( n = 35), in mandibular first molars—5.4% ( n = 33), in mandibular second molars—0.32% ( n = 2); higher in females ( n = 20) ( P = 0.25). Nine scans showed unilateral occurrence, and 13 showed bilateral presentation ( P = 0.26). The radix showed typically shorter roots, with root divergence and curvatures, and increased intra-orifice distance. All radices had Vertucci’s Type 1 configuration. Type A radix entomolaris was found to be most prevalent—60% ( n = 21), followed by Type AC—20% ( n = 7). Conclusion: The results of this study recommend modifying the access cavity preparation, using magnification, and encourage the use of advanced radiographic techniques like cone-beam computed tomography whenever radix is suspected.
  • Biomechanical influence of plate configurations on mandible subcondylar fracture fixation: a finite element study

  • Comparative evaluation of a patient-specific customised plate designs and screws for partial mandibular reconstruction
    Abir Dutta, Kaushik Mukherjee, Venkata Sundeep Seesala, Kaushik Dutta, Ranjan Rashmi Paul, Santanu Dhara, Sanjay Gupta
    Medical Engineering and Physics, 2023
    Mandibles with odontogenic tumors are often partially reconstructed with a metallic bone graft analogue with dental roots, crowns, along with a customized plate fixed with monocortical or bicortical screws, following resection of the tumor. In this study, two different designs of patient specific customized Ti reconstruction plates, solid and plate with holes, were considered. Fixation through both bicortical and monocortical screw types were investigated. FE models of the reconstructed mandibles were developed to analyse the influence of the plate-screw type combination on the load transfer across the mandibles under a mastication cycle. The effective homogenized orthotropic material properties of the lattice structures with 0.6 mm fibre diameter with 0.5 mm inter-fibre space were assigned to material properties for the bone graft analogue. The study shows that the combination of plate and screw types influences the state of stresses in the reconstructed mandible. Based on the results of this patient specific study, following resection of the tumor, either solid Ti plate with bicortical screws or Ti plate with holes along with monocortical screws may be used for partial mandibulectomy. It should also be noted that stresses in none of the plates or screws exceeded the yield limit for Ti under the mastication cycle indicating that the components are safe for mandibular reconstruction. However, the choice of this combination of reconstruction plates and screws is dependant on the condition and severity of the tumor in the diseased mandible.
  • Load transfer across a mandible during a mastication cycle: The effects of odontogenic tumour
    Abir Dutta, Kaushik Mukherjee, Venkata Sundeep Seesala, Kaushik Dutta, Ranjan Rashmi Paul, Santanu Dhara, Sanjay Gupta
    Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part H Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2020
    The extent to which load transfer in a diseased mandible with odontogenic tumour might influence the potential risk of pathological fracture has scarcely been investigated. The study sought to investigate the quantitative deviations in load transfer across healthy and cancer-affected (diseased) mandibles having odontogenic tumours. The effect of size of the tumours (small: 9 mm diameter, large: 19 mm diameter), and variation in bone mechanical (elastic) properties of the mandible on load transfer in cancer-affected mandibles during a mastication cycle have been investigated. Based on patient-specific computed tomography–scan datasets, detailed three-dimensional finite element models of healthy and diseased mandibles were developed. High stresses of 25–30 MPa and strains ∼700 µε were observed in the healthy mandible during the right molar bite. However, marginal deviations were observed in principal stress distributions in the diseased mandibles with small- and large-sized tumours, as compared to the healthy mandible. Maximum principal strains of ∼1474 µε were found in the body region adjacent to the symphysis region for small-sized tumour. Whereas for large-sized tumour, maximum strains of ∼2700 µε were observed in the right buccal regions. Reduction in Young’s modulus due to different stages of odontogenic tumours had a localised effect on the principal stress distributions, but triggered an abrupt increase in the principal tensile strains. It appears that there is a potential risk of pathological fracture for large-sized odontogenic tumour, owing to high tensile stresses and strains.

  • A comparative study to correlate between clinically and radiographically determined sagittal condylar guidance in participants with different skeletal relationships
    Sweta Singh, Samiran Das, Jayanta Bhattacharyya, Soumitra Ghosh, Preeti Goel, Kaushik Dutta
    Journal of Indian Prosthodontist Society, 2017
    Context: Many authors have conducted studies that determine horizontal condylar guidance (HCG) using various methods, articulator systems, and recording materials. However, there is a dearth of literature on variability existing in HCG in individuals with different skeletal relationships. This study is an attempt to verify whether such a difference exists or not. Aims: The aim of this study is to determine and correlate the HCG in individuals with Angle's Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusion using radiographic and clinical methods. Settings and Design: HCG was recorded for thirty individuals, ten of each class. For each individual, HCG was recorded clinically as well as radiographically. Subjects and Methods: Clinically, HCG was recorded using protrusive check bites and a semi-adjustable articulator. Radiographically, two methods were employed. First, a “tangent method” wherein the angle made by a tangent to the posterior slope of articular eminence with the Frankfurt horizontal (FH) plane was considered as the HCG, and second, a “protrusive method” where the position of the condyle at maximum intercuspation and 6 mm protrusion were traced, and the angle this path made with the FH plane was recorded as the HCG. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistical analysis along with Tukey's test and analysis of variance was used to calculate and compare the mean values. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to establish correlation between various means. Results: A significant difference in the HCG of three skeletal relationships was seen, with Class II having a steeper angle than the other two. Among the various methods used, a correlation was found between the clinical and the protrusive method; however, the tangent method yielded greater values of HCG. Conclusions: The average value of HCG should not be used as it differs according to the skeletal relationship. Radiographic method can be used to yield consistent HCG; however, the protrusive method should be employed.

    Journal of Conservative Dentistry, 2017
    Aim: Compare the measurement of working length with three different methods manual tactile sensation, digital radiography and Mutidetector computed tomography(MDCT). Materials and Method: 40 human premolar extracted for orthodontic purpose were selected. Teeth were store in sodium chloride (0.9%) during the study. Access cavity was prepared and canal patency was seen with no 10 file in each tooth. Manually no 15 K file was inserted from access cavity until the tip was visible at the foramen, a silicon stopper was adjusted to the corresponding buccal cusp tip and the root canal length was measured. After that in each tooth with no-15 K file inserted from access cavity with stop at tip of buccal cusp until tip appear at foramen and x-ray was taken with digital radiograph (RVG,Satelac) and canal length was measured. After that all teeth are mounted in wax block,MDCT scan was done and in the scan images of teeth, root canal length is measured from buccal cusp tip to root end. After taking measurement of working length with all three methods and the data was stastically analyzed with One Way Analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Turkey's Test. Results: ANOVA and turkeys test showed that there was no significant difference in the measurements by the three procedures (p>0.05). Conclusion: Working length measurement with MDCT scan and other two conventional methods does not show significant difference in measurement. Use of newer 3D imaging technique is useful in root canal treatment for measuring working length.
