Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common congenital defects, particularly in India. Infants born with these defects often have difficulty with feeding due to the oro-nasal communication. Therefore, an appliance called "the feeding plate" is designed to assist with feeding.
Inventions often arise when challenges obstruct the path to truth. In this regard, the contemporary role of forensic science in identifying deceased individuals is crucial, and the contribution of forensic odontology is particularly significant. Investigators have long recognized the potential of human teeth as a source of forensically significant DNA evidence. However, accessing this DNA has posed challenges, as earlier methods such as crushing teeth or analyzing neurovascular tissues were prone to contamination or other drawbacks. Recently, various authorities have researched an alternative method to maximize DNA recovery: "cryogenic grinding." This technique is simple, relatively rapid, and overcomes the drawbacks associated with previous methods. In this article, we provide insight into the unique and critical role of cryogenic grinding in analyzing DNA recovery from human teeth.
Hospital hazard management is the process of creating a safe and healthy environment that minimizes or eliminates hazards for patients, visitors, employees, and staff. By utilizing various methods, programs, protections, education, and counseling, hospitals can reduce work-related injuries and illnesses. The purpose of this article is to summarize the various risks involved in hospitals and outline steps for hazard management. To effectively manage hazards in hospitals, it is important to document all risks and carry out a risk assessment. This involves evaluating hazards and establishing controls for each significant hazard through elimination, isolation, or minimization. Additionally, it is essential to regularly review and monitor the hazard management process to ensure its continued effectiveness.
Esthetics plays a significant role for patients seeking orthodontic treatment. Patients not only desire an attractive smile, but also seek treatment that is as inconspicuous as possible. To meet this demand, orthodontic options such as ceramic brackets and composite plastic wires have been developed, despite their inherent limitations. However, the desire for truly invisible orthodontics led to a shift from the traditional labial to the less common lingual side. Socially active young adults who desired orthodontic treatment but were too self-conscious to wear braces on the labial side helped to drive the development of lingual orthodontics. This earnest yearning has brought lingual orthodontics into the forefront of orthodontic treatment options.
The color of normal gingiva has been described as variable, ranging from pale pink to deep bluish. Between these normal limits, there are many color variations that depend on three factors: the intensity of melanogenesis, the degree of cornification, and the degree of vascularity. Color changes in oral mucosa can be attributed to the deposition of endogenous or exogenous pigments. The distribution of these pigments in oral mucosa varies greatly, ranging from focal macules to broad diffuse tumefactions. The specific coloration, tint, location, multiplicity, size, and configuration of pigmented lesions are diagnostically important. Various treatment modalities have been used to eliminate pigmented gingivae for an aesthetic appearance. Lasers and the use of Alloderm are new approaches that have given promising results.
