ABSTRACT
Caries risk assessment is an important part of modern
dentistry since caries are endemic and potentially
both preventable and curable. An early identification
of relevant factors affecting people which may
increase the risk of caries is important. Innovative
caries risk assessment models, such as the Cariogram
software program, have been developed to system-
atize the evaluation of various risk factors for caries
and to develop targeted prevention interventions
based on caries risk. Douglas Bratthall and cowork-
ers at the Dental School in Malmö developed com-
puter-based caries risk assessment model in 1997.
Therefore, the purpose of this abstract is to demon-
strate the application of the Cariogram software in
the management of patients with dental caries. The
important part is that it is not difficult and even it is
easy to use so that all the dentist can easily use it in
their the clinics.
ASSESSMENT OF CARIES RISKUSING THE CARIOGRAM MODEL

ABSTRACT
Background: The pulpal and the periodontal tissues are inti-
mately related anatomically, functionally and physiologically. It
has been suggested that periodontal disease is a direct cause of
pulpal atrophy and necrosis and is more deleterious to the pulp
than both caries and restorations combined. Treating such
lesions is critical and is extremely important to help in upgrad-
ing the prognosis of a tooth from questionable.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the platelet- rich fibrin in
the management of a circumferential, infrabony defect associat-
ed with an endo- perio lesion in the maxillary left lateral inci-
sor.
Method: An endo- perio lesion in the maxillary left lateral inci-
sor region was initially treated with endodontic therapy.
Following the endodontic therapy, the circumferential
infrabony defect was treated using platelet- rich fibrin and an
alloplastic bone substitute. Results: At the end of 6 months,
there was a gain in the clinical attachment levels, reduction in
the probing depths. The radiographs showed that there was sig-
nificant bony fill.
Conclusion: In this case, successful treatment can be attributed
to a correct diagnosis, successful endodontic therapy and bone
fill achieved due to the use of autologous platelet concentrate.
Key words: Endoperio lesions, platelet- rich fibrin, infrabony
defects.

ABSTRACT
The oral cavity is an important anatomical location
with a role in many critical psycho-logic processes.
As oral cavity is mirror of health its careful examina-
tion may reveal findings indicative of an underline
systematic condition.
In many instances, oral cavity is involved preced-
ing the appearance of other symptoms of systematic
disorder. examination should be include evaluation
for mucosal changes, periodontal inflammation or
bleeding and general condition of teeth.
Oral cavity is made of specialized and mucosa and
thus, has specialized function.oral findings such as
parrol, atrophic glossitis, candisdiasis may be indica-
tive of anemia; or ulceration suggesting gastrointesti-
nal disorder. Also, there is association between peri-
odontal diseases and heart diseases, diabetes melli-
tus, stroke and adverse pregnancy outcomes. General
physician and also dentists must be aware of such
oral manifestation to identity them which allows for
early diagnosis and treatment of the diseases.

ABSTRACT
Introduction- Temporomandibular disease & disorders
refer to complex and poorly understood set of conditions
manifested by a pain in the area of the jaw and to make
the normal movements of speech facial expression eating
& swallowing . The conventional soft occulsal splint ther-
apy is a safer mode of a conservative line of therapy in
comparison to the surgical therapy for temporomandibu-
lar joint disorder. The common goal of the occlusal splint
therapy is to protect the tempormandibular disc from dys-
functional forces that leads to permanent displacement or
perforation.
The aqualizer have gained popularity as it instantly bal-
ances occlusal forces.
This poster highlights the aqualizer as an emergency &
temporary self adjusting oral splint. It is a hydrostatic oral
splint which provides effective and accurate treatment. It
is also a differential diagnostic tool in temporomandibular
joint disorder that allows treating the patient's pain quick-
ly saving valuable treatment time.

ABSTRACT
A complete new way to look at dental decay is through
the use of Ozone (O3) in dentistry. The dental profes-
sion no longer has to destroy tooth tissue to eliminate
bacteria. A simple 60 second average treatment time
with a device that delivers a burst of ozone will destroy
all the bacteria that cause the infection and decay. It
destroys all the organic effluents that are produced by
these bacteria. The treatment is simple, inexpensive
(certainly less than the cost of a filling), and requires no
injection of anaesthetics. If the area of decay is deeper,
and more extensive, Ozone
still has a role to play. Also there are many implications
of Ozone therapy in new age dentistry such as in steril-
ising a cavity before a filling is placed, so there will be
virtually no sensitivity after the local anaesthetic wears
away and can be used to eliminate sensitivity after new
crowns or veneers are placed. Therefore, this poster
will define the role played by ozone in preventing and
treating dental caries.

ABSTRACT
AIM:To assess and compare the pH and fluoride con-
tent of locally available and packaged milk in Jaipur.
OBJECTIVE: To assess and compare the pH, using
digital pH meter and the fluoride content, using spec-
trophotometric method, of locally available and pack-
aged milk in Jaipur.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: Fluoride and pH
analysis was carried out on 3 groups- (i) Locally avail-
able (ii) Packet milk from dairy firm and, (iii)
Tetrapack milk. A total of 19 samples were included in
the study.
RESULTS: The mean Fluoride content was found to
be 0.017 (± 0.003 SEM) with a range of 0.001 to 0.02.
The pH of the milk samples was found to be in the
range of 4.46 to 7.11.
CONCLUSION: In view of the results of the present
study, milk consumption has no major impact on total
daily dietary fluoride intake but the pH of the soy based
tetrapack milk was found to be less than critical pH.

ABSTRACTAIM: Assess the oral health status and treatment needs of geri-
atric and pediatric population in a ward of Jaipur city
OBJECTIVE:
1.Assess the oral health status using the Oral Health
Assessment form of subjects of 5 and 65-74 years in a ward
of Jaipur city
2.Assess the periodontal status of subjects of 5 years and 65-74
years using modified CPI index in a ward of Jaipur city
MATERIALS AND METHOD: Sample of 630 subjects
including 360 children aged 5 years and 270 adults in the age-
group of 65-74 years were examined for their oral health status
and periodontal status using WHO Oral Health Assessment
Form 2013. Subjects were selected from a ward of Jaipur city
RESULTS: Of the 270 adults, 69.1% subjects cleaned their
teeth once a day, only 60.7% used toothpaste. Over 55% sub-
jects had visited a dentist. Over 93% subjects consumed tobac-
co in some form.
Nearly 31% subjects had complete edentulous arches and mean
DMFT score was 16.74 of dentate individuals. The score was
higher in males than females.Almost 58% subjects had deep
pockets and 73.4% had bleeding on probing.Ninety three per-
cent respondents complained of difficulty in chewing
food.Among the 360 children, 71% had either decay or missing
tooth with mean dmft 1.43. Mean decay score was 1.36 and
mean missing score was 0.12.
CONCLIUSION: The study concluded that the DMFT score
for adults was high and dmft score for children was low. As
nearly a third of the adult population had complete edentulous
arches, they had less utilization of dental services.

ABSTRACT
Any injection technique including needle punctures
of skin or mucosa is the most common cause of fear
among patients. There has been a constant search for
newer techniques that can make an injection as pain-
less as possible, but at the same time should be
extremely effective.
Hence in 1997, the first Computer Controlled Local
Anesthetic Delivery (CCLAD) system was intro-
duced into dentistry. This drug delivery system has
been able to overcome quite a few problems associ-
ated with standard dental syringe, enabling the oper-
ator to accurately manipulate needle placement with
fingertip accuracy and controlled rate of flow.
This poster describes the "WAND" in detail includ-
ing its advantages and disadvantages over conven-
tional injection techniques.

ABSTRACTInfections of the teeth and oral cavity can increase in
severity and develop into life threatening situations if not
properly managed. Infection management can consist of
a combination of dental or surgical procedures and the use
of antimicrobials.
Dentists prescribe several categories of medications to
manage a variety of diseases and conditions associated
with the oral cavity. Among these conditions are bacteri-
al, fungal and viral infections, pain, and caries prevention.
The prescription of medications is more complicated than
in the past with clinicians dealing with an increasing num-
ber of issues such as microbial resistance to prescribed
antibiotics and drug interactions within the increased
number of medications used by both adult and pediatric
patients. To reduce the resistance rate, health care
providers must prescribe antibiotics judiciously.
The administration of drugs to pediatric patients is further
complicated by the necessity to adjust the dosages of
medications to accommodate their lower weight and body
size. Pediatric patients cannot be given adult dosages of
drug. The primary reason for this is the difference in body
size. The dose and instructions on how to take them will
vary from patient to patient, depending on the patient's
age, weight and other considerations.

ABSTRACT
AIDS is one of the most dreadful infections occur-
ring in human beings. The first case of HIV infection
in human beings came to be known in 1981 in USA.
In India it was first noticed in 1986 and since then it
is spreading & has become a pandemic. According to
a survey, today almost 55 million people that we
know of are currently living with HIV. In India, 6.1
million people are infected with HIV.
Dental health care professionals come across HIV
infected patients more commonly as oral lesion often
present as first signs and symptoms. We are also
among the ones who come across many refractory
and occult cases. The invasive dental procedures
probe a potential health hazards in such cases if
proper infection control procedure are not followed.
We being a health care professional need to take spe-
cial care of such cases medically as well as emotion-
ally.
In this paper I will be shedding lights on the common
oral lesions in HIV infected patients, how to recog-
nize early as well as refractory cases, the level of dis-
crimination among AIDS patients and how can we
create an environment for better treatment of such
cases and check occupational hazards.
Key words: HIV/AIDS, Dentists & Infection

ABSTRACTPlatelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second generation platelet
concentrate widely used to accelerate soft and hard tissue
healing. It is strictly an autologous fibrin matrix contain-
ing large quantities of platelet and leukocyte cytokines. It
is considered to be a good source of growth factors, thus
proving to be a wonderful tissue engineering product.
PRF is easy to obtain, less costly, and a beneficial ingre-
dient to add in the "regenerative mix". In addition to its
capacity to accelerate healing as well as sealing with fib-
rin, this adhesive is conventionally known for reducing
postoperative hematoma. Its advantages over platelet-rich
plasma (PRP) include ease of preparation/application and
lack of biochemical modification.
The technique for obtaining PRF is very simple, requiring
neither anticoagulant nor bovine thrombin. It is nothing
more than centrifuged blood without any addition. We
finds its utility in various dental applications such as peri-
odontal regeneration, recession coverage, sinus floor ele-
vation/augmentation, ridge augmentation, socket preser-
vation, treatment of periapical lesions and peri-implanti-
tis.

ABSTRACT
Balance and harmony with in a smile needs to be
achieved irrespective of the anatomical shape, size,
spatial orientation or position of the soft tissue in
relation to the teeth. The concept of illusions can be
make patients satisfied with esthetically pleasing
smile. Teeth themselves can be made larger, smaller,
wider, and narrower by just reshaping them to reflect
the light differently in the zone of reflection. A smile
can be broadened or narrowed by illusion. An under-
standing of this relationship allows the clinician to
design a smile that the patient may perceive more
attractive. By manipulating how the esthetic display
is perceived, the clinician can use illusion effects to
create the desired esthetic effect and can take sculp-
tural control of the patient's esthetic comprehension

ABSTRACTStudies over the last half-century have clearly demon-
strated that cigarette smoking is associated with
adverse health effects both for smokers and for individ-
uals exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS). Now a new
level of exposure has been identified: thirdhand smoke
(THS), or residual tobacco smoke pollutants that
remain on surfaces and in dust and that are reemitted in
the gas phase and interact with other compounds. THS
exposure is the result of inhalation, ingestion, or dermal
uptake of THS pollutants in the air, in dust, and on sur-
faces. Various studies point out that THS and SHS are
closely related, and in fact coexist as THS is first
formed and in settings where smoking recurs regularly.
But whereas SHS is removed by ventilation, THS pol-
lutants may persist in environments for several hours or
days after tobacco has been smoked.
Thus emerging evidence on THS suggests important
new directions for understanding the long-term conse-
quences of tobacco use and for preventing and reducing
tobacco use. This presentation demonstrates that beliefs
about the health effects of third hand smoke and its seri-
ous need for more research in this debatable field.

ABSTRACTStem cells are undifferentiated cells that go on to develop into any ofthe more than 200 types of cell the adult human body holds. Thesestem cells have the awesome potential for regeneration and may beused to replace or repair damaged cells. Due to the limitless thera-peutic potential, stem cells continue to be of enormous public, sci-entific and clinical interest. As a result, scientists can now carry outexperiments aimed at determining the mechanisms underlying theconversion of a single, undifferentiated cell, the fertilized egg, intothe different cells comprising the organs and tissues of the humanbody. Although, primary teeth contain a rich supply of stem cells intheir dental pulp that remain vital after a child loses a tooth, extract-ed pulp from children's exfoliated incisors and the stem cells growrapidly and have the potential to form specialized dentin, bone andneuronal cells. They named these special cells Stem cells fromHuman Exfoliated Deciduous teeth or SHED. "These cells exhibitedan ability to grow much faster and doubled their populations in cul-ture at a greater rate, suggesting SHED may be in a more immaturestate than adult stem cells." Further study of this easily accessiblesource of stem cells could lead to new advances in treating damagedteeth, inducing bone regeneration and treating neural injury and dis-ease, bone repair, gene transfer to salivary glands, autoimmune dis-ease and gene transfer, pain, head and neck cancer & many other sys-temic diseases.This poster will be highlighting that the stem cellresearch will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to mil-lions of people in both oral and general health care. The impact ofstem cells obtained from totipotent cells is on various oral & sys-temic diseases.

ABSTRACT
Fluoride Detection Kit is a simple, user-friendly and highly
cost effective kit for estimation of fluoride in groundwater in
comparison with the currently available techniques. There is
absolutely no dependence on sophisticated instruments for
assembling the kit or using it. . Water sample can be imme-
diately categorized as being safe, marginal or unsafe for
drinking from fluoride point of view. Even a layman can per-
form the test. The unsafe water sample can be further tested
easily to quantify the fluoride level roughly in order to know
how unsafe it is. This comes in handy to either compare the
levels of toxicity between two sources or to spot the least
toxic source of groundwater in an area where the entire
groundwater is found fluoride-contaminated. Methodolgy:
The procedure is as simple as adding a specified amount of
kit reagent to the water sample to be analysed and identify-
ing the color developed. The color develops almost instanta-
neously and the distinction can be made with the naked eye.
Therefore , this review highlights a new era of fluoride
detection for ground water.

ABSTRACTTaboo is a vehement prohibition of an action based on the
belief that such behaviour is either too scared or too
accursed for ordinary individual to undertake, under threat
of supernatural punishment such prohibitions are present
in virtually all societies.. "Breaking a taboo " is usually
considered objectionable by society in general , not mere-
ly asubset of a culture. Social taboo are shy like virtue ;
once lost there is no remedy. Taboos afterall are only
hangovers, the product of disease of mind your mind say.
Since antiquity the practice of decorating and mutilating
the human body has held an intrinsic fascination for
mankind of the various forms of body decoration and
mutilation which may be encountered and mutilation
which may be encountered in contemporary societies ,
mutilation and adornment of the teeth and oral soft tissue
comprise a group of practices of obvious significant to the
student practitioners of dentistry. Therefore , the purpose
of this poster is to highlight sum of the dangerous and
hazardous taboos by indigenous people in the form of oral
soft tissue and teeth mutilations.

ABSTRACTAt the beginning of the third millennium, hepatitis B virus (HBV)
remains a major public health problem globally; more than two
billion people have been infected worldwide, and of these, 350-
400 million suffer from chronic infection. Dentists and dental
health care workers (DHCWs) are at a high risk of infection with
both HBV and HCV during their daily occupational experiences.
Similarly, they can infect their patients by such agents if adequate
infection control policie are not applied. It is alarming that though
the possibility of HBV infection is simply preventable by using a
HBV vaccine, a number of dental personnel still have not been
vaccinated. There are dentists and DHCWs who have not received
all required vaccine doses. Plus, since not all vaccines show
immune system response, checking antibody titre is an essential
part of the infection precaution which is performed by just a small
number of vaccines. More seriously there are still a number of
DHCWs who do not routinely use protective equipment's such as
shields, gowns and more seriously face masks or gloves.
Necessity of continuous infection control education for all
DHCWs is obvious and more efforts should be made to prepare
them with the most efficient protective strategies. This paper
highlights the need of infection control and methods to prevent
and manage hepatitis in dental office.

dentists and dental treatment.in addition questionnare were
filled individually by the children on previous dental expe-
riences, gender prefrence and dental attire preference. Four
different coloured operator coats worn by single dentist was
displayed on screen and children were asked to select one
out of four as prefered coat they want for their dentist.
Results: Results were tabulated for variables such as age ,
gender, anxiety levels of the children and past experiences.
Conclusion: Apprehensive children may need to be relived
from their anxious state for which modifications in dentist
and attire may be necessary.

ABSTRACTStem cells are undifferentiated cells that go on to develop into
any of the more than 200 types of cell the adult human body
holds. These stem cells have the awesome potential for regen-
eration and may be used to replace or repair damaged cells. Due
to the limitless therapeutic potential, stem cells continue to be
of enormous public, scientific and clinical interest. As a result,
scientists can now carry out experiments aimed at determining
the mechanisms underlying the conversion of a single, undiffer-
entiated cell, the fertilized egg, into the different cells compris-
ing the organs and tissues of the human body. Although, pri-
mary teeth contain a rich supply of stem cells in their dental
pulp that remain vital after a child loses a tooth, extracted pulp
from children's exfoliated incisors and the stem cells grow rap-
idly and have the potential to form specialized dentin, bone and
neuronal cells. They named these special cells Stem cells from
Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth or SHED. "These cells
exhibited an ability to grow much faster and doubled their pop-
ulations in culture at a greater rate, suggesting SHED may be in
a more immature state than adult stem cells." Further study of
this easily accessible source of stem cells could lead to new
advances in treating damaged teeth, inducing bone regeneration
and treating neural injury and disease, bone repair, gene trans-
fer to salivary glands, autoimmune disease and gene transfer,
pain, head and neck cancer & many other systemic
diseases.This poster will be highlighting that The impact of
stem cells obtained from totipotent cells is on various oral &
systemic diseases

ABSTRACTForensic Odontology is a science that utilizes the dentist's
knowledge to serve the judicial system. Forensic dentistry is
the proper handling, examination and evaluation of dental
evidence, which will be then presented in the interest of jus-
tice. Worldwide, dentists qualified in forensic science are
giving expert opinion in cases related to human identifica-
tion, bitemark analysis, craniofacial trauma and malprac-
tice. The evidence that may be derived from dental rugae,
lip prints, dental appliances and histological examination of
hard tissue, in age determination and identification of the
person to whom it belongs. This is done including radi-
ographs, ante-mortem (before death) and post-mortem pho-
tographs, DNA, cheiloscopy, rugoscopy. Human identifica-
tion relies heavily on the quality of dental records. This arti-
cle gives an insight to Forensic Odontology and outlines
some of its medico-legal applications.

ABSTRACTThe ability to treat a carious lesion without theneed of amputation of the diseased tissue would beone of the greatest achievements in the history ofdentistry. Ozone therapy has the potential to movetowards this goal. Ozone can be useful for variousmethods such as :Endodontic treatment and rootcanal disinfection, chronic periodontitis, infectionsafter tooth extractions and chronic wound healing.The current research is indicating that ozone hasproved to be an exciting advance for the dentalprofession with substantial and far-reaching impli-cations in the delivery of dental care in the 21stCentury. Ozone is a powerful anti-microbial agentwith the ability to penetrate hard and soft tissues.The benefits of ozone therapy are reduced costsand the potential elimination of dental treatmentphobia.

ABSTRACTLipoma is a common, slow-growing, benign, encapsulat-
ed tumor of fatty tissue. The lipoma differs from normal
body fat in that its lipid is not available for metabolism.
Miles et al suggested that this factor, together with its
autonomous growth, warrants its classification as a true
benign neoplasm. Although trauma is considered to be an
etiologic factor in lipomas occurring in other parts of the
body, intraoral lipomas are of unknown etiology. They
commonly affect the upper back and shoulder and rarely
occur in the oral cavity. Intraorally they are seen pre-
dominantly in the buccal mucosa, followed by the lip
and the tongue. Lipomas of the floor of the mouth are
extremely rare if reported in the litreture. We report such
a case of lipoma occurring on the floor of the mouth in a
40 year old female patient who reported to our institu-
tion- Govt. Dental College , Indore. This paper deals with
a brief review of litreture pertaining to intraoral lipomas,
with special attention to those occurring on the floor of
the mouth , and about their management.

ABSTRACTGarlic is one of the edible plants and is common ingre-dient available in the kitchen. Garlic (Allium sativum)is one of the most extensively researched medicinalplants and its typical odor and antibacterial activitydepends on allicin produced by enzymatic activity ofallinase (acysteine sulfoxide lyase) on alliin after crush-ing or cutting garlic clove. Today, both scientific andherbalist tradition support the fact that garlic, in its var-ious forms can provide extraordinary health benefits.Unquestionably, it can significantly reduce the risk ofcardiovascular disease and certain kinds of cancer.Taking garlic in certain dosages can help protect humancells from oxidation, free radicals and certain types ofradiation. Garlic is an effective immune systemBooster and has anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fun-gal properties.Here, in this review, we discuss the con-stituents, properties, medicinal uses, dental application,advantages and disadvantages of garlic.Keywords- Garlic, Allium Sativum, Medicinal plant,Herbal medicine.

ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE : The aims of this study to present an insight on
dental fear among the school children and assess the relationship
between caries experience and fear of dental procedure.
Method: A sample size of 250 students (both sex) of age group
10-14 yearswereincluded forthe study. Before conducting a dental
examination, eachsubject was asked to independently complete a
Children's Fear Survey Schedule - Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS)
questionnaire. Children having a score of >38 were included in
the group 'with dental fear' while those scoring <38 were placed
in the 'without dental fear' group. All dental examinations were
performed on the school premises according to WHO criteria.
Result: The numberof children who experienced dental fear was
105 (42%).It was found that Decayed, Missing and Filled Surface
Index(DMFS-dfs) increased significantly with increasing CFSS-
DSvalues. Fear scores were highest for 'Injections' ,followed by
''dentist drill'and "choking".Children were significantly less anx-
ious about specific items of dental treatment if they had experi-
enced that particular form of treatment.Females were found to be
statistically more dentally anxious than males.
Conclusion: The data showed prevalence of dental fear in the 10-
14years old children of this study. Dental fear scores decreased
with increasing age and experience.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The mainobjective of this presentation is to outline the role oflasers in dental practice.
METHOD:Literature across electronic and printmedia was studied to review types, uses, applicationsand future of various dental lasers currently avail-able.
RESULT:The major objections most dentists have tolasers are cost and limited procedures. With the costcoming down and awareness being increased amonggeneral dentists, more and more dentists are incorpo-rating lasers into their practices.
CONCLUSION:Lasers have been used in dentistryfor more than 20 years. We have graduated fromtreating only soft tissues to treating hard tissues suchas teeth and bone. Lasers are perfect tools for mini-mally invasive dentistry. The more healthy toothstructure conserved during a procedure, the better thelong-term health of the tooth and that is how laser ismore than just another tool to better assist the dentistin his practice.This poster depicts the type of lasers,their various applications and current advances inlaser dentistry.

ABSTRACTBackground and Objectives: The aim of this study was to investi-
gate the effect of sonic or laser activation of two irrigation protocols
on mature biofilms of Enterococcus fecalis in vitro.
Method: Root canals in 80 single-rooted teeth were instrumented
using a rotary Ni-Ti system. Biofilms of E.fecalis were generated
based on a previously established protocol. Samples were randomly
divided into 4 experimental [n=20] groups: group 1 [3% NaOCl] acti-
vated using a sonic device [EndoActivator, Dentsply Tulsa Dental
Specialties, Tulsa, OK, USA], group 2 [3% NaOCl] activated using
the radial firing tip of a Er:YSGG laser; group 3: 3% NaOCl-17%
EDTA-3% NaOCl activated using the Endoactivator; group 4: 3%
NaOCl-17% EDTA-3% NaOCl activated using the Er:YSGG laser.
Bacterial viability was assessed by confocal microscopy using the
LIVE/DEAD stain. Dentin powder was obtained for analysing the
colony forming units [CFU/mL]. Data were analysed by appropriate
statistical analyses with P = 0.05.
Result: The biofilm within the root canal lumen was completely
destroyed by the experimental groups. Analysis of the biomass with-
in the dentinal tubules at 200 microns showed that group 4 had the
maximum percentage of dead bacteria [P<0.05]. At 400 microns,
there was no significant difference between the groups [P>0.05].
Culture analysis showed no growth in any of the groups at 200
microns.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Oral health is a priority amongprison inmates as it is for the general population . Itwill be challenging for a Dentist to provide dentalcare in such an environment. The challenges mayinclude threat to personal security, inability to movefreely, lack of infrastructure in prison environmentwhich may require up gradation and lastly awarenessregarding dental care in prisoners.
METHOD: Google,Pubmed ,Medline search engineused to get literature on providing dental care forprisoners.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Oral health needs ofthe prisoners are complex because of habits such asdrugs, tobacco, and prevalence of chronic dental andperiodontal diseases, mental trauma . All these fac-tors stress on the requirement of high level of dentalparticipation and funding from the government agen-cies to update the dental setup inside the prison cam-pus and having a dentist posted in prison on a regu-lar basis.
The prison capacity is becoming full and overcrowd-ed according to many published survey reportsacross India. This issue has become an utmost prior-ity, which requires thorough planning and execution.KEY WORDS; Prisoners,Oral Health

ABSTRACTThe oral cavity is the site of many infectious andinflammatory diseases. Systemic diseases have beenrecently associated with the oral diseases and chron-ic periodontitis . Poor oral hygiene and chronic peri-odontitis are probably the most prevalent and showstrongest epidemiological and plausible mechanisticassociations with these systemic diseases. The bacte-rial colonization of the teeth , possibly introducesmore bacteria into tissue and the blood stream lead-ing to the increased prevalence in magnitude of bac-termia. This link between oral diseases and systemicdiseases will help the physicians in their early detec-tion and management.This poster highlights the rela-tionship between the oral diseases and various sys-temic disorders.

ABSTRACTAIM: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of
anterior teeth fracture and associated factors among 7-15 year old
schoolchildren.
METHODOLOGY:The sample consisted of 5000 schoolchild-
ren aged 7-15 years attending government schools in Jaipur. Data
on school system, number of students were obtained from the
District Education Department/ Siksha Sankul of Jaipur district.
Jaipur district was stratified into 14 tehsils. List of schools from
each tehsil was obtained from Siksha sankul. By using
Probability Proportional to Sample size, the subjects were select-
ed from each tehsil. The assessment of anterior tooth fractures
were done using Ellis classification. Other contributing factors
such as overjet and lip incompetency were also examined.
RESULTS: The statistical analysis of the results were done
using chi-square test. The result of this study reveals that preva-
lence of traumatic dental injuries amongst 7-15 year aged school-
children in Jaipur was 11.88%.
CONCLUSION: It was concluded that prevention through
health promotion and correction of predisposing risk factors
should be carried out to reduce the prevalence of dental injury
and to avoid the financial costs of treatment. Preventive educa-
tion programs targeting schoolchildren, about traumatic dental
injuries should be instituted, directed at parents (including preg-
nant mothers) and school teachers to inform them about the prob-
lems of dental trauma (conservation of avulsed and fractured
teeth, and the importance of immediate treatment), and to obtain
a cooperative attitude to the treatments and good motivation in
the controls.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Dentists are animportant component of the health care delivery system.Since they are the one who are responsible for the oral careof patients, they come in close contact with blood and salivaof patients. Due to frequent and prolonged contact, they arebeing identified as a potential risk group for the spread ofHIV/AIDS. To reduce the transmission, adequate knowledgeabout the disease and practice of safety measures are of greatimportance. The aim was to evaluate knowledge and aware-ness of HIV/AIDS among BDS.
METHOD: A cross sectional questionnaire pilot study wasconducted among 100 students and interns of Modern DentalCollege & Research Centre, Gandhi Nagar, Indore (M.P.).
RESULTS: Most were aware about the duration of windowperiod. Very few (8%) had the knowledge of the helpline no.of HIV/AIDS. Only 28% knew about the confirmatory testfor HIV. 81% responded that they would treat a known HIVpatient in your clinic.
CONCLUSION: This study shows that the students neededto be made aware of many aspects of HIV/AIDS.

ABSTRACTObjective/s: 1) To assess the salivary urea concentration before
meal and 5 min ,30 min and 60 min interval of time after meal.
2) To assess the pH changes in three interval of time in caries
active and caries free children.
Materials and Method: Study was conducted in total of 60 chil-
dren of age 10 year in private school, Indore. Children were
divided into 2 groups that is caries active and caries free on the
basis of DMFT/deft index. Saliva sample is collected from chil-
dren after chewing Urea containing chewing gum for 5 min. With
the help of randox reagent salivary urea concentration and pH of
saliva is measured by pH paper strips.
Results: Salivary concentration of urea, measured fasting in the
morning (basic values) in examinees with a low caries index,
ranging in limits from 5.50 to 9.10 mmol/l, and significantly
lower values in examines with a high DMFT-index (from 3.40 to
5.50 mmol/l). The same was done with the concentration of sali-
vary urea at different time intervals after taking the meal - 5, 30
and 60 minutes in the examinees with a different DMFT-index.
pH of saliva is decreases before meal and after chewing gum pH
increases. There is a significant correlation seen between salivary
urea, pH and caries.
Conclusion: The positive effect of urea was confirmed by the
values found in this study: the respondents with a lower DMFT-
index present a higher concentration of urea than in the basic val-
ues, and in the values of stimulated (through the meal) saliva, fol-
lowed in all intervals.

ABSTRACTRecent advances by scientists and engineers in manip-
ulating matter at this small magnitude indicate poten-
tial application of this nanoscience through develop-

ABSTRACTStem cell therapy has a promising future for tissue regenera-
tive medicine. Until recently, stem cells harvested from
umbilical cord blood were the only storage option to guard
against future illness or disease. Unfortunately, this opportu-
nity comes at the time of birth only and many parents regret
missing it. Nowadays, the focus is shifting towards other
sources of stem cell such as teeth and adjoining tissues
because of their accessibility, plasticity and high prolifera-
tive ability. More popularly called as DENTAL Stem cell
banking. Based on this novel source of stem cell, a new con-
cept of dental stem cell banking has come up. This concept
is based on obtaining stem cells from exfoliated decidous
teeth, third molars and orthodontically extracted teeth. Out
of these stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED)
are found to be more potent and immature as documented. In
order to tap the potential of this readily available source of
stem cells, various dental stem cells banks have come up in
different part of world. This presentation will discuss in
detail the technical, financial and more importantly biologi-
cal aspects of this upcoming avenue in India with major
focus on the role of general dentist in making people aware
of this unique biological connexion to future.

ABSTRACT
Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI and some-times known as brittle bone disease, or "Lobstein syn-drome") is a congenital bone disorder characterizedby brittle bones that are prone to fracture. People withOI are born with defective connective tissue, or with-out the ability to make it, usually because of a defi-ciency of Type-1 collagen. This clinical case makes acontribution to our knowledge of the rarely encoun-tered pathology.
CASE DESCRIPTION: A case of 14 year old malepatient with the main concern of dental infection. Aradiographic and clinical examination was conducted.High propensity to fracture, bowing of bones withslight blue tinge in the sclera were prominent findings.Serum alkaline levels were markedly raised.ClinicalImpression:In cases in which OI is diagnosed, patientsshould be examined carefully and the occurrence ofOI should be considered since, in its mild form, itmight be misdiagnosed.

ABSTRACT
Pulp vitality is extremely important for the tooth via-bility. Millions of teeth are saved each year by rootcanal therapy. Although current treatment modalitiesoffer high levels of success for many conditions, anideal form of therapy must consist of regenerativeapproaches in which diseased or necrotic pulp tissuesare removed and replaced with healthy pulp tissue torevitalize teeth.
The regenerative endodontic techniques involvecombination of disinfection and debridement ofinfected root canal systems with apical enlargementto permit revascularization.
An important aspect of this technique is the use ofintracanal irrigants with placement of triple antibiot-ic paste for few weeks, followed by its removal andinduction of bleeding into the root canal. Blood isallowed to clot (which acts as scaffold) and mineraltrioxide aggregate is placed over the clot. Sequentialradiographs show healing of periapical tissues androot elongation

ABSTRACT
Taenia solium, the larvae of pork tapeworm cancause the parasitic infection cysticercosis. It iscommonly seen in developing countries. The con-dition rarely involves orofacial region and repre-sents a difficulty in clinical diagnosis.
We present a case report of a healthy middle agedfemale patient with rare involvement of mentalismuscle by cysticercosis and the contribution ofultrasonography and MRI in diagnosis of cysticer-cosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopatho-logical examination. The case was managed byconservative enucleation of the cyst under localanesthesia.

ABSTRACT
Objective: There is a universal dilema on white coat phobia
of children and need for colored coats in dental office.To
find out preferences on dentist and attire in dental office in
apprehensive and non apprehensive children.
Method: A Total sample of 800 school children were select-
ed for this study from three different schools of bhopal with
in age group of 6 -14 years.Children fear survey schedule
was used to evaluate the Anxiety level of children regarding
dentists and dental treatment.in addition questionnare were
filled individually by the children on previous dental experi-
ences, gender prefrence and dental attire preference. Four
different coloured operator coats worn by single dentist was
displayed on screen and children were asked to select one
out of four as prefered coat they want for their dentist.
Results: Results were tabulated for variables such as age ,
gender, anxiety levels of the children and past experiences.
Conclusion: Apprehensive children may need to be relived
from their anxious state for which modifications in dentist
and attire may be necessary.
Key words: CFSS-Children fear survey schedule, Dental

ABSTRACTA tingling thought about the temporomandibular joint open
close open close open close. Do you have any popping,
clicking or pain in your jaw joint?
It is said that "the mouth is attached to the body" but in the
realm of the temporomandibular joint, we could say the
entire body is interconnected.
Only the temporomandibular joint gets away with those
ironic one liners without smileys. The temporomanibular
joint is a unique synovial bilateral joint with translatory and
rotational movements and its disorders are muscoloskeletal
within the masticatory system.
Stress wreaks havoc on the temporomandibular joint, the
other causes may include arthritis, grinding of the teeth,
excessive gum chewing, poor posture and malocclusion or
trauma to the teeth and jaw.
Temporomandibular joint noises and associated pain are
common among the population. Less is often the best in
treating temporomandibular disorders.
Along with the proper diagnosis, the correct treatment plan-
ning can be done to avoid major surgical procedures.

ABSTRACTThe ability to study molecular biology of living single cell in
heterogenous cell population is essential for next generation
analysis of cellular circuitry and function. Nanobiopsy platform
is based on scanning ion conductance microscopy. It uses elec-
tro wetting within a nano pipettes to extract cellular material
from living cells with minimal disruption of cellular mileau.
This may provide the foundation for dynamic sub-cellular
genomic analysis.
Keywords: nanopipette. scanning ion conductance microscope.

ABSTRACTAim: To determine the attitude and involvement of dentalstudents in research and the barriers they face in accessingscholarly opportunities in the dental college. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among 205students of a dental institution. A self administered closedended questionnaire consisting of 27 questions which had 3sections: - importance of science and research, barriers toresearch involvement, exposure to dental research. It wasassessed on 5 - point likert scale. Descriptive data was ana-lyzed using SPSS 14.Results: There was 100 percent response rate. Resultsshowed that only 9.8 percent participated in research as adental student. Respondents(43.6percent) agreed that scien-tific research enabled their progress and should be encour-aged to complete a research project in dental school(29.9per-cent) .Sixty five participants(31.9 percent) strongly dis-agreed that treatment methods need not be scientifically sup-ported. Inadequate time in the curricula and lack of fundingfor research projects were the major obstacles the studentsperceived for research involvement during dental school. Conclusion: Since medicine has moved from symptomatictreatment towards evidence based approach, research playsan effective role. Through this we should infuse interestamong the students of the dental profession. Key words: Dental Research , Dental Education , DentalStudents , Barriers.

ABSTRACTPhotobiomodulation (PBM) is also known as low level laser
therapy(LLLT) or cold laser therapy.It uses light in the range of
400-900 nm.The principle is that it uses light energy to elicit
biological responses from the cell and normalises cell func-
tion.It is based on Arndt-Schultz law.Numerous studies have
shown that PBM affects the mitochondria of the cell,primarily
cytochrome c oxidase in the electron transfer chain and por-
phyrin on the cell membrane.In dentistry biostimulation can be
used for many things including treatment of recurrent aphthous
stomatitis and traumatic ulcers,reduction of oral edema,post-
operative analgesia following periodontic,oral surgical and
endodontic procedures,treatment of recurrent intraoral and labi-
al herpes.It also helps in reducing pain of orthodontic treatment
and of temporomandibular joint disorders.It also helps in the
management of inflammatory conditions such as erosive lichen
planus by modulation of inflammatory chemicals.This paper
gives an overview of various applications of PBM in dentistry.

ABSTRACTBackground : The pediatrics community has promoted the
concept of a medical home to improve families' care utiliza-
tion.and propose a dental home concept to improve families'
access to dental care.
Method : This policy is based on a review of the current
dental and medical literature related to the establishment of
a dental home. A MEDLINE search was conducted using the
terms "dental home", "medical home in pediatrics", and
"infant oral health care".
Clinical Implications: The dental home is the ongoing rela-
tionship between the dentist and the patient, inclusive of all
aspects of oral health care delivered in a comprehensive,
continuously accessible, coordinated, and family-centered
way. The dental home can provide access to preventive and
emergency services for children. Establishment of the home
early in the child's life can expose a child to prevention and
early intervention before problems occur, reduce anxiety and
facilitate referral.
Keywords: Dental home, comprehensive oral health,health
care.
