Tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable deaths world over, more so in developing countries. The youth of today is the target audience of big tobacco industries. The PhD Research mainly focuses on the Knowledge ,attitude and behavior of the college students of Ahmedabad city under Gujarat University jurisdictions, about tobacco and the various steps that that be taken in curbing the hazardous habit . This Public health initiative for the youth of Ahmedabad against tobacco is only possible with the help of strong hands who can stub it all like Strengthen enforcement of existing law and...

The ideal goal of diagnostic procedures is the earliest possible identification of the disease process, which allows the most effective preventive procedures and least invasive interventions. An accurate diagnosis of the disease is the primary requirement for a successful treatment. With the advancements in the diagnostic procedures, our accuracy in making a diagnosis has improved. The advances in radiographic techniques have enabled us to accurately access the periodontal bone morphology and long-term changes in the bony architecture following periodontal treatment. Various chairside...

Periodontal disease is a major public health issue, and the development of effective therapies to treat the disease and regenerate periodontal tissue is an important goal of today's medicine. Regeneration of periodontal tissue is perhaps one of the most complex processes to occur in the body. Langer and colleagues proposed tissue engineering as a possible technique for regenerating the lost periodontal tissues. Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that involves the application of the principles and methods of engineering and life sciences to the development of biological...

Missing teeth and supporting oral tissues have traditionally been replaced with dentures or bridges permitting restoration of chewing function, speech, and aesthetics. Dental implants offer an alternative. They are inserted into the jawbones to support a dental prosthesis and are retained because of the intimacy of bone growth on to their surface. In order to circumvent the problem of post-extraction and implant-related bone resorption, the concept of immediate implants was introduced in the late 1970s. It was suggested that this approach could not only limit physiological bone resorption...

Guided Bone Regeneration is a surgical procedure that uses barrier membranes with or without particulate bone grafts and/or bone substitutes. Osseous regeneration by GBR depends on the migration of pluripotential and osteogenic cells to the bone defects site and exclusion of cells impeding bone formation. To ensure successful GBR , four principles need to be met :exclusion of epithelium and connective tissue, space maintenance, stability of the fibrin clot and primary wound closure.

Alveolar bone loss is a hallmark of periodontitis progression and its prevention is a key clinical challenge in periodontal disease treatment. Bone destruction is mediated by the host immune and inflammatory response to the microbial challenge. Bone resorption is a basic physiologic process that is central to the understanding of many key pathologies, with its most common oral manifestation seen as the alveolar bone destruction in periodontitis.There are two primary cells responsible for both the resorption and deposition phases of bone remodeling: osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The activity of...

Parodontalerkrankungen sind ein wichtiges Problem der öffentlichen Gesundheit, und die Entwicklung wirksamer Therapien zur Behandlung der Krankheit und zur Regeneration von Parodontalgewebe ist ein wichtiges Ziel der heutigen Medizin. Die Regeneration von parodontalem Gewebe ist vielleicht einer der komplexesten Prozesse, die im Körper ablaufen. Langer und Kollegen schlugen das Tissue Engineering als eine mögliche Technik zur Regeneration des verlorenen Parodontalgewebes vor. Tissue Engineering ist ein multidisziplinäres Gebiet, das die Anwendung der Prinzipien und Methoden der Ingenieur-...
