Filling root canals in 3 dimensions- Endodontic techniques

Image
  OBTURATION TECHNIQUE : OBTURATION: Three filling of entire root canal system According to american association of endodontist : obturation is the method used to fill and seal a cleaned and shaped root canal using a root canal sealer and core filling material OBJECTIVE: Substitution of an inert filling  To eliminate all avenue of leakage from oral cavity Seal iatrogenic causes Same shape as root morphology Radiographic appearance - dense 3D filling  When to obturate root canal? Obturation after obtaining negative culture test  Absence of foul odour Lack of periapical sensitivity No excessive exudate from canal Obturated when tooth is asymptomatic when root canal is reasonable dry It should be sterile ,or easily and quickly sterilised immediately before insertion  CLASSIFICATION OF OBTURATING MATERIAL  ACCORDING TO GROSSMAN: PLASTIC - Gutta percha,resilon solid- silver point,stainless steel cement and paste- hydron,mineral trioxide aggregate,calcium phosphate,gutta flow  Requirement f

 DENTAL AGE ESTIMATION - FORENSIC ODONTOLOGY PART 2 Age estimation using dentition may be grouped into three phases  1)Aging  in prenatal and early postnatal 2) age estimation in children and adolescents 3) age estimation in adults  AGEING IN PRENATAL,NEONATAL AND EARLY POSTNATAL: A)NEONATAL LINES: Primary tooth germ - 7 weeks in utero Enamel formation of deciduous teeth completes by 1st year. permanent 1st molar ( germ formation )  is 3.5 -4 months in utero  because of above said features this estimation in this group is very accurate  Neonatal lines - indicator  I f neonatal lines present implicates  -LIVE BIRTH ,in case of stillbirth ( loss of pregnancy ) - absent legal implication in case of infanticide  AGE ESTIMATION IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENT:  T ooth eruption:  deciduous - 6 months to 2.5 years  permanent - starts at 6 years ( eruption of 1st molar) Method to determine age in children and adolescents : VALUE OF 3RD MOLAR SCHOUR AND MASSLER METHOD TOOTH CALCIFICATION DEMIRJIAN&#

how do forensic odontologist use dental record to identify people?

  FORENSIC ODONTOLOGY -PART 1 Forensic odontology : Application of dental principle to legal issue Dental identification : COMPARATIVE METHOD POST MORTEM DENTAL PROFILING COMMON REASONS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF FOUND HUMAN REMAIN? CRIMINAL: Investigation to a criminal death cannot begin until the victim has been positively identified SOCIAL: its society duty to preserve human rights  Marriage : Individuals from many religious background cannot remarry unless their partners are confirmed deceased Closure: the identification of individual missing for prolonged period can bring sorrowful relief to family members  1) COMPARATIVE METHOD: A) ORAL AUTOPSY Rigor mortis -muscle stiffness ,myotomy to cut open the muscles Obtaining dental records: Dental charts,radiograph,cast  To see if there is any bite mark in the body To take salivary swab - source of DNA Photograph,radiograph Check for missing records  B) RUGOSCOPY ( POST   MORTEM PROFILING) Rugae help in gender ,race ,it also helps in both

PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR - MECHANISM OF ACTION ,USES

Image
  PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR  Peptic ulcer occurs due to the imbalance between acid -pepsin secretion and mucosal defense factor  Proton pump inhibitor act by inhibiting the gastric acid secretion  Its a efficacious inhibitor omeprazole is a drug that's commonly use MECHANISM OF ACTION: The parietal cells of stomach secrete :H + with the help of enzyme H+K+ATPase present in the plasma membrane Omeprazole and other proton pump inhibitor are produrg get activated in the acidic environment of the stomach to sulfenamide which binds covalently with H+K+ATPase   The binding is irreversible Single dose can almost (95%)inhibit gastric secretion Acid secretion start only after new H+K+ATPase enzyme is synthesises . Ulcer heals rapidly even in resistant cases. PHARMACOKINETICS; Given as enteric coated granules to avoid degradation by acid in stomach Effect of 1 dose remains for 2 to 3 days Microsomal enzyme inhibitor Increases level of benzodiazepine,warfarin  ADVERSE EFFECT : Headache Nausea Pai

  PEPTIC ULCER  - Part 1  Peptic ulcer is result from imbalance between acid pepsin secretion and mucosal defense factor Stomach secrete 2.5 litre of gastric juice daily MECHANISM OF ACTION: Chief cell secrete pepsinogen Parietal  cell secrete   hydrochloric  acid and intrinsic factor Gastric acid secretion regulated by  Acetylcholine   - muscarinic  receptor Gastrin - g receptor Histamine- h2 receptor Acetylcholine and gastrin act on parietal  cell Act indirectly on enterochromaffin cells releasing  histamine Mucosa secretes mucus  which forms the protective layer ,bicarbonate and prostaglandin Prostaglandin  stimulate mucus and bicarbonate that leads to vasodilation  and thereby inhibit gastric  secretion  CLASSIFICATION : DRUG FOR PEPTIC ULCER : A) GASTRIC ACID SECRETION INHIBITOR : H2 antihistamine - CIMETIDINE,RANITIDINE Proton pump inhibitor - OMEPRAZOLE,LANSOPRAZOLE B) GASTRIC ACID NEUTRALIZER : Systemic - sodium bicarbonate,sodium citrate Non systemic - magnesium hydroxide,calc

 LIMBIC SYSTEM  Limbic comes from a latin word which means border ,the limbic system was given this name because its structures lie along a horseshoe shaped area of cortex.  It appears to be a border between cerebral cortex and subcortical structures of the diencephalon. Brain stem is known as oldest brain structure and cerebrum which is located in the upper part of the brain is considered to be the newest structure the limbic system lies between these structure . Parts of limbic system: thalamus,hypothalamus,amygdala,hippocampus. Thalamus is right above the brainstem ,egg shaped structure, like midbrain in the brainstem is a relay centre for visual,auditory and motor sensation,thalamus also acts as a relay centre . Thalamus first receives all sensory information ,processes it before it sends to higher region of the brain that deals   with sight,hearing,touch and taste. Smell is the only thing which will not get affected when thalamus gets injured as suppose if we smell a yummy dish ,
