Facial esthetics has been the most important objective of orthodontic treatment planning. Smile characteristics are determined

by static and dynamic relationships between hard and soft tissue components of face. The objective of the present study was to

evaluate the balanced smile using different hard and soft tissue parameters.A total of 50 participants equally divided into two goups i.e

males and females, ranging in age from 18–25 years with Angle’s Class 1 molar relation were selected. Photographic records of smile

and rest position were measured and analyzed at rest and during smile, to assess upper lip length, maxillary incisal display, upper

vermillion length, intercommissural width and smile arc. Results obtained from both the groups were subjected to stastical analysis

and correlations between smile variables were investigated. Most of the measured variables showed statistically significant sexual dimorphism. Statistically significant results were seen in relaxed upper lip length, relaxed central incisor display, relaxed vermillion length, smiling upper lip length and smiling vermillion length. Resting inter commissural width, smiling central incisor display and smiling inter commissural width were found to be statistically non-significant. Upper lip length and vermillion length in smiling and resting conditions had same pattern. Increased incisal display was more evident in subjects with short upper lip. Parallel smile arc and flat smile arc distribution was more common in females subjects whereas reverse smile arc was seen in male patients only.

The PEEK Medical Polyetheretherketone is a high performance polymer. The materials in this group combine excellent mechanical properties with the highest biological compatibility. PEEK is also used in aeronautical construction for heavy parts and for medical applications. It has evolved in the field, especially for the manufacture of denture frames. The elasticity of the material, which is of the same order as that of bone tissue, makes it a nature-like material since it can compensate for bone torsion, especially in the presence of large implantation work. It has replaced titanium with its properties and qualities. This work aims to demystify this material by demonstrating its advantages and limitations and its place in current dentistry.

As a dentist you must keep in mind that you are creating a piece of art with each case you are treating. Frame it is a course that gives you the fundamental keys for creating a beautiful frame for your patients’ teeth using Botulinum Toxin A and dermal fillers. The course will cover several topics including; facial anatomy for various cosmetic applications, Botulinum Toxin A (mechanism of action, proper storage, preparation, indications, contraindications, precautions for use, proper management of complications and injection techniques), dermal fillers (characteristics of various fillers available in the market and pain management options), Hyaluronic acid filling agents (indications, contraindications, precautions for use, proper management of complications and injection techniques), as well as, the role of Golden Ratio in facial esthetics. By the end of the course, the participant should be able to manage basic cases that need a fine touch to reach optimal esthetic results.

HIV infection is a major health concern in India. India has the third highest number of people living with HIV in the world with 2.1 million Indians accounting for about four out of 10 people infected with the deadly virus in the Asia Pacific region. There are considerable regional variations in the oral manifestations of HIV infection, depending both on the populations studied and on the clinical heterogeneity. The oral manifestations in Asian countries as compared to western countries and other developing nations in Africa and Latin Americas are relatively different. The constraint of resources in Asian countries hinders the possibility of providing an effective health care system. Though many studies have been conducted on oral manifestations in HIV, the research in Asia is currently at a pivotal juncture as the existing research is getting repetitive. Currently, Asian studies predominantly focus on prevalence of oral manifestations and assess their association with parameters of HIV infection, sociodemographic data and deleterious habits. Hence a cross sectional study was undertaken among HIV population in western India, Gujarat with main focus and objectives: 1) Evaluation and diagnostic usefulness of saliva for detection of HIV antibody 2) To calculate CD4 count of HIV positive patients. 2) To evaluate systemic manifestations of HIV positive patients. 3) To detect oro-maxillofacial manifestations in HIV positive patients. 4)To compare and correlate systemic and oro-maxillofacial manifestations of HIV positive patients with the CD4 count. Study population comprised of newly diagnosed 100 confirmed seropostive patients, before starting any antiretroviral therapy, were included. Saliva of HIV positive patients was collected and was tested by ELISA by using special reagents and modifications leading to detection of antibody in saliva. The oral lesions were diagnosed based on clinical manifestation using international criteria and CD4 count was determined within maximum 1 week of oral examination. Oral and systemic manifestations of HIV positive patients were recorded and correlated with CD4 counts. It was found that decrease in CD4 count is associated with a wide range of oral and systemic manifestations which can be used as prognostic marker for immune suppression in AIDS patient. This study can be very useful in epidemiological surveys, diagnosis and management of HIV positive patients.
