Item Assessment of Changes in Paraclinical Indexes Due to Intermaxillary Fixation: A Prospective Clinical Study(Society for Health Care & Research Development, 2018-05) Farooq, Shahid; Shah, Ajaz Ahmad; Hassan, Shahid; Kosar, Shamina; Gul, Sumera; Din, Junaid Mohi UBackground: One of the treatment modalities of mandibular and midface fracture is closed reduction with the use of intermaxillary fixation (IMF), in which the fractured segments are immobilized adjacent to each other and this procedure results in the reunion of the separated segments. It has been shown that there is a direct relation between nutrition and the healing process of the body therefore treatment with IMF could possibly affect the healing process. In this study, we evaluated the effects of IMF on paraclinical factors like protein profile and lipid profile which are markers for malnutrition condition, so further thoughts can be given to prevent malnutrition by using different supplements. Methods:30 Patients having mandibular fracture which needed closed treatment was selected for this study. All patients were treated with a 4 weeks period of IMF. Lipid profile factors [total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG)] and protein profile factors [hemoglobin (Hb), albumin (Alb)] were measured before the start of IMF and after the 4 weeks period of IMF. Results: there occur decrease in the level of Alb and the reduction was statistically significant. There occur slight increase in Hb level at the end of treatment however the result was statistically insignificant. also there occur decrease in the level of TC, HDL, LDL and TG after the treatment but the result was statistically insignificant. Conclusion: it was concluded that treatment with IMF can result in malnutrition conditions although not severe. so when close reduction techniques are used as the treatment plan in maxillofacial region, a supplemental nutrition planning is very thoughtful thing to do.Item Cleidocranial Dysplasia - A Rare Case Report(Society for Health Care & Research Development, 2018-11) Kosar, Shamina; Shah, Ajaz; Farooq, Shahid; Gul, Sumera; Bashir, ShabrozaCleidocranial dysplasia is an autosomal dominant heritable disorder caused by mutation in the gene encoding transcription factor Core Binding Factor Subunit Alpha 1 (CBFA1) or Runt related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). It is characterized by aplasia or hypoplasia of the clavicles, characteristic craniofacial malformations, and the presence of numerous supernumerary and unerupted teeth. A 37 year old male with cleidocranial dysplasia is described in this article with cyst associated with impacted teeth as the first presentation.Item Role of Postoperative Antibiotics in Exodontias Following Simple Extraction-A Clinical Study(Society for Health Care & Research Development, 2019-05) Kapoor, Muneet; Hakim, Tajamul; Farooq, Shahid; Farooq, Uzma; Shah, Ajaz; Khursheed, SalmanThe aim of our study is to assess the need for postoperative antibiotics following simple exodontia and determine its role in minimizing patient discomfort and postoperative complications. Methods: All the patients undergoing simple extractions were grouped into two categories: Group 1, patients receiving antibiotics, and Group 2, patients receiving no antibiotics. Patients were recalled on the sixth day to assess postoperative complications. On recall, patients were evaluated for signs of persistent inflammation and signs of dry socket. Presence of persistent inflammation and/or suppuration on the 6th day was considered as wound infection. Results: A total of 200 patients were included in this study. Out of the total sample, 185 (92.5%) presented with no postoperative complications and 15 (7.5%) had postoperative complications, out of which 12 (6%) patients presented with dry socket (alveolar osteitis), 5 (5%) in the antibiotic group and 7 (7%) in the non-antibiotic group. Only 3 patient (1.5%) was reported with infection of the extraction socket 1 in antibiotic group and 2 in the non-antibiotic group. Conclusion: Antibiotics are not required after simple extractions in patients who are not medically comprised nor do they have any role in preventing postoperative complications.Item Survey of the Reasons for Dental Extraction in patients of Kashmiri Population(Scholars Publisher, 2022-10) Farooq, Shahid; Bhat, Mohd Younis; Hassan, Shahid; Shah, Ajaz AhamdBackground: Extraction of teeth is the commonest surgical procedure carried out in the dental surgery setting. The purpose of this survey was to identify the causes of teeth extraction in Kashmiri population. Material & Methods: This study was done on the patients who were referred to Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Government Dental College Srinagar for tooth extraction for the period of 6 months from February 2019 to July 2019. Total of 3000 patients were included in this study. Results: There were 1680 (56%) extractions in males and 1320 (44%) in females with male?to?female extraction ratio of 1.2:1. In both male and female gender, there were more teeth extractions between the ages of 11 and 30 years. The commonest tooth to be extracted was 1st molar both in upper (27.2%) and lower (30.4%) arch. The commonest reasons for teeth extraction were caries (53.4%; 1602/3000). Conclusions: The result of this study shows that dental caries is the commonest reason for tooth extraction in Kashmiri population. It is hoped that the study will facilitate the development of treatment and preventive procedures relevant to the problems, thus minimizing the loss of teeth and its expected adverse consequences.
