Abstract :

A New Approach in Presurgical Nasoalveloar Molding Treatment in the Management of Cleft Lip and Palate Patients

Objective: Many techniques have been used to align cleft alveolar segments and reduce cleft severity in cleft lip and palate patients The Grayson technique is a well-known technique that has undergone several modifications. The aim of this study was to present a new approach to PNAM for bilateral and unilateral cleft lip and palate patients.

Material Method: In unilateral cleft lip and palate patients modified nostril retainers manufactured from soft acrylic were used instead of nasal stents for nasal molding which enables the separation of the nasal molding and intraoral plate insertion. Modified nostril retainers were used before reducing cleft width to 5mm. In bilateral cleft lip and palate patients the modified PNAM appliance consisted of the retention arm, the
prefabricated retraction apparatus, the nasalstent and the lip hanger fixed to the premaxilla with a band. A combination elastic band system was used to correct the deviation of the premaxilla.

Conclusion: In unilateral cleft lip and palate patients different from the nasal stents in Grayson technique, the modified nostril retainers apply upward and forward forces to both sides of the columella that can accelerate the uprigthing and lengthening of the columella. In bilateral cleft lip and palate patients modified PNAM enabled faster de-rotation of the premaxilla and earlier initiation of retraction. In the modified methods the short duration of the treatment can prevent memory fixation of the cartilage and tissue.

Not everyone is born with a  perfect teeth , some are lucky to be born with perfect teeth.Orthodontic treatment has now marked a revolutionary change in Dentistry, it helped to restore the smile with the help of Dental braces .Using this modern Dental technology it is now possible to bring back healthy and beautiful smile quicker. TYPES OF DENTAL BRACES Old-fashioned braces use elastic ties – which can cause painful friction – to hold the straightening wire in place.  They are made from a high-grade stainless steel and have metal brackets that are attached to each tooth using a type of cement. The brackets are linked to each other with a thin archwire, which puts pressure on the teeth to cause them to move slowly into the correct position.The ties are also prone to collecting plaque, which can be unpleasant. They are durable and strong. Ceramic Braces  : Made of Ceramics instead of Metal, they have clear or tooth colored brackets so they are less noticeable than metal brace

DENTAL RADIOGRAPHY- A Short Note

By -

Radio graphs (X-rays) are necessary for the evaluation and diagnosis of many oral conditions and diseases. Dentists use radiographs for many reasons: to find hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities. They are diagnostic, but they can also be preventative, by helping a dentist diagnose potential oral care issues in a patient’s mouth before they become a major problem. An x-ray is a type of energy that passes through soft tissues and is absorbed by dense tissue. Teeth and bone are very dense, so they absorb X-rays, while X-rays pass more easily through gums and cheeks.X-rays are divided into two main categories, intraoral and extraoral. Intraoral is an X-ray that is taken inside the mouth. An extraoral X-ray is taken outside of the mouth. Intraoral X-rays are the most common type of radiograph taken in dentistry. The benefits of X-rays are well known: They help dentists diagnose common problems, such as cavities, gum disease and some types

THUMB SUCKING AND DENTAL CARE

Thumb sucking  is a natural reflex for children. Kids suck their thumbs because it's comforting and calming. It can also be soothing, and many babies and toddlers use it as a coping mechanism when anxious or separated from their parents. The habit helps to induce sleep, and children may suck their thumbs in the evening before bedtime. After permanent teeth come in, sucking may cause problems with the proper growth of the mouth and alignment of the teeth. It can also cause changes in the roof of the mouth. The intensity of the sucking is a factor that determines whether or not dental problems may result. If children rest their thumbs passively in their mouths, they are less likely to have difficulty than those who vigorously suck their thumbs. Some aggressive thumb suckers may develop problems with their baby (primary) teeth. The best time to discourage thumb sucking is by age four. By this time, prolonged sucking could begin to affect your child's mouth and devel
