Amith Holenarasipur Vasanthakumar,Jyoti Sharan,Audrey Madonna D. Cruz 대한예방치과학회 2016 International Journal of Clinical Preventive Denti Vol.12 No.2
Objective: Retention of food particles on to the tooth surface is one of the factors which influence its cariogenicity. Higher the duration of retention, greater is the time for which plaque pH remains below critical pH. Objective of this study was to assess the effect of consumption of different types of chocolates on plaque pH and to measure the dental retention. Methods: Ten healthy volunteers in the age range 20-30 years were included in the study. Five test products—white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel chocolate and 10% sucrose solution were administered to each participant. Plaque pH was measured at baseline and at 10, 20, 30 and 45 minutes after using the test products, by using pH indicator strips. Dental retention was assessed using the Patient Hygiene Performance index. Friedman’s test was used to compare the mean plaque pH. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare mean of dental retention for different types of chocolate from baseline to 45 minutes. Results: Caramel chocolate had the maximum decrease in plaque pH at 20 minutes after consumption. The least drop in pH was noted for dark chocolate. At the end of 45 minutes, the dental retention was highest for the caramel chocolate. Conclusion: Dark chocolate showed the least drop in pH of dental plaque and hence were considered as least acidogenic. Caramel chocolate showed the maximum drop in plaque pH. It also had the highest dental retention rate at the end of 45 minutes.

Objective: Waste produced in the course of health care activities carries a higher potential for infection and injury than other types of waste. Inappropriate and inadequate handling of health care waste may have serious public health consequences and a significant impact on the environment. The objective of the present study was to assess the awareness regarding hospital waste management among the interns of a private dental institution in Mangalore, Karnataka, India. Methods: A cross sectional questionnaire survey was carried out on 100 interns of a dental college. A self designed, close ended questionnaire containing 10 questions was developed in English language to assess the knowledge of dental interns regarding hospital waste management. Results: The response rate was 100%. About 70% of the study participants were aware that hospital waste was generated by health care establishments, research facilities and dental laboratories. About 94% of them were aware of color coding of different type of biomedical waste. About 60% of them had the opinion that an extracted tooth belongs to the category of infected material. Majority of them had the opinion that expired pharmaceuticals should be returned to the pharmacy for disposal. Around 40% of them were aware that human anatomical waste should be disposed in a yellow container. About half of them opined that waste bags must be closed when they are three quarter full. Conclusion: The results of the present study revealed that the dental interns had satisfactory knowledge regarding management of biomedical waste in a private institution in Mangalore.

Objective: “Oil pulling or oil swishing”, in alternative medicine, is a traditional Indian folk remedy that involves swishing oil in the mouth. Oil pulling is an age-old process mentioned in “Charaka Samhita” and Sushrutha's “Arthashastra”. It's a widely recommended procedure in Ayurveda. Methods: 10 subjects in the age range 19-21 years, having fair-poor levels(scores 1.8-5.0) of plaque according to “Patient Hygiene Performance” (PHP) index performed Oil Pulling along with their other oral hygiene measures for 45 days, using Refined Sunflower Oil. Their Plaque and gingival scores were assessed at baseline, 15, 30 and 45 days by modified PHP and Gingival indices. The results were subjected to Friedman's test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: The mean PHP value at baseline of 2.12±0.55, reduced to 1.07±0.42, mean Gingivitis score of 1.08±0.32 at baseline reduced to 0.73±0.29 after 45 days. The differences were found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: Oil pulling is having dental benefits. Hence this holds a chance to be added to other oral hygiene measures. Further longitudinal studies with larger sample size are recommended.

Objective: To assess the ‘filling to extraction’ ratio in the rural satellite dental clinics of AB Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Mangalore, India. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted and the treatment reports of 13 dental satellite clinics from January 2009 to December 2011 were retrieved. The number of restorations was compared to the number of teeth extracted to get the ‘filling to extraction’ ratio. Results: The lowest filling to extraction ratio of 1:0.39 was recorded for the dental satellite clinics at Konaje. The highest filling to extraction ratio of 1:1.54 was noted for Nada. Only one rural satellite dental clinic had an unfavourable ratio of more than 1:1. Conclusion: More number of fillings than extractions are done in the rural satellite dental clinics which is a positive sign of eliminating dental diseases to a great extent in rural India.

Objective: The objective structured practical examination (OSPE) is a reliable and established practical examination system that assesses competence and practical professional skills of medical and dental students by rotating the student round a number of stations. The objective of the present study was to assess the attitude of final year dental students towards the OSPE in Public Health Dentistry, in a private dental college in Mangalore, Karnataka, India. Methods: A questionnaire survey was undertaken among the final year undergraduate dental students. A Likert-type scale containing 10 items 5 was used to assess the attitudes of fourth year dental students at A. B. Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Mangalore, towards the OSPE in Public Health Dentistry. Results: The overall mean attitude score of 3.60 was towards the favourable side. Item wise mean attitude scores indicated that the attitudes of the undergraduate medical students were favourable towards all the items. Majority of the students felt that checklists provide a fair and are good means of evaluation and that OSPE is a reliable type of practical examination. Around 69.7% of the students strongly agreed that OSPE is a good form of examination as well as learning experience. Conclusion: The study concluded that the undergraduate students have shown favorable attitudes towards OSPE in Public Health Dentistry.
