Abstract
Nowadays, the clinicians basically focused on patient-centered therapy either they prefer surgical or non-surgical methods of treatment. In implant dentistry, different type of surgical techniques and various biomaterials were introduced since 1970s. The well-documented correlation between flap elevation and bone loss resulted in the introduction of minimally invasive or flapless techniques, an approach that is gaining popularity in Implantology. The present case series of two cases using MIS implant highlighted the outcomes of flapless technique in oral rehabilitation.

Abstract:
Functional appliances may be defined as an orthodontic appliance that uses the forces generated by the muscles to achieve dental and skeletal changes. Several treatment options are available for managing Class II problems and functional appliances have been used for many years in the treatment of Class II Division 1 malocclusions. Twin block appliance is very effective and with which overjet can be reduced. The goal of functional appliance therapy is to encourage or to redirect the growth in a favourable direction. In this case a 13-year-old female patient is treated by a twin block functional appliance in combination with high pull headgear in Class II div. 1 malocclusion. The design and treatment effects are demonstrated in this case report.

Abstract:
Background Gender stereotypes can lead to a variety of generalisations that affect the perceptions of patients. A greater understanding gender stereotypes is critical to building an
optimal doctor-patient relationship. Objectives To evaluate patients’ perception about various factors associated with dental care from a dentist gender perspective.Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of 2 months in the year 2015. Study sample consisted of 146 patients visiting Government Dental College & Research Institute, Bangalore. Information about socio-demographics and perception towards gender stereotype was collected. Perception questions assessed different traits for dentist qualities. Response rate achieved was 73%. Descriptive analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0. Results Study sample consisted of equal number of males and females. There was no trait that over 50% of respondents considered more typical of either gender.Female dentists were viewed more empathetic and organised while male dentists were sought for their expertise and experience. The study sample seems to be divided over the preference of gender with 54% turned out to be gender specific. Conclusion Patients perception toward gender preference varied with respect to different traits. Further studies are required to establish gender stereotype in dentistry.

Abstract:
Most of the children willingly accept dental treatment when approached in a positive and supportive manner. However, dental personnel routinely encounter many children who exhibit considerable anxiety or problematic behaviours in the clinical settings. For some of these children, especially those who are relatively young or have had negative prior experiences, providing even “routine” dental procedures requires considerable effort and patience. Some require special management considerations because of their extensive dental treatment needs, poor health conditions or behavioural issues. Lack of cooperation of a child not only affects the successful completion and quality of necessary dental procedures but also raises some degree of stress in the dentist. Some children do not always accommodate to plans designed for them as there are many factors which can influence the behaviour of children in the dental situation.There are many factors which influence the behaviour of children in the dental office. Some of them are activity, attitude and attire of dentist, length or time of appointment, general factors such as growth and development of child, nutritional status, school environment, presence of another sibling in the operatory and mother’s behaviour. Though some factors are not under the control of a clinician but knowledge of certain aspects and influences on child’s behaviour can be of major help in the clinical practice. Some of the factors can be modiied by dentist to help the child through the dental appointments. It is important that the knowledge and practice of behaviour management should be incorporated in a continuous learning process or education for all dental practitioners. Furthermore, the dental team as a whole, including auxillary personnel, should be trained in the knowledge and practice of various techniques, so that all children may be given quality dental care.

ABSTRACT
Background Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is more common in children of many developing countries. Aim The purpose of this study is to test whether it is possible to identify myocardial involvement in cases with rheumatic carditis by the measurement of serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT). Methods Eighty patients diagnosed as ARF underwent echocardiography and their cTnT serum levels were measured. Patients were divided into groups as Cases and Control with 40 patients in each group.Results In Cases 57.5% were male and 42.5% were female. All patients complained about joint pain. In 59% of cases troponin T was not detectable. It was detectable in the range of 0.01–0.05 ng/ml in 35% of cases and it was in the range of 0.05–0.1 ng/ml in 7% of cases of endocarditis and pericarditis. Conclusion Measurement of cTnT may be added to diagnostic accuracy of myocarditis.
