Enhancing Smile Esthetics by Management of Gingival Enlargement using Electrosurgery and Diode Laser

Smile plays a major role in human interactions and communication. It is a simple yet powerful gesture that can make a significant difference in how people perceive and interact with each other. Addressing dental issues that affect the smile can be crucial not only for aesthetic reasons but also for oral health and overall well-being. There are some ways in which teeth and gingiva can impact a person's smile such as tooth color, size, alignment, gingival health and gummy smile etc. Short clinical crowns or gingival enlargement can be the reasons for gummy smile. Proper consideration of biologic width and the dentogingival junction is required to diagnose the etiology and plan an effective treatment. Cosmetic dentistry offers various solutions to enhance the appearance of teeth and gingiva, such as teeth whitening, orthodontic treatment, veneers, gum contouring and dental implants for missing teeth. The aim of this case report, is to enhance esthetics by treating gingival enlargement in single visit by two different thermal modalities

Assessment of Preschool Education Component of ICDS Scheme in Jammu District

Non formal Preschool education is an important component of Integrated Child Development Services scheme currently operational in more than 6506 projects in India The present research paper is based on an investigation of this component in ICDS centres of Jammu district of Jammu and Kashmir state A random sample of 60 Anganwadi centres AWCs was selected for this study Using observation and interview schedule the infrastructural facilities available and the conduct of preschool education activities were evaluated The results indicate lack of adequate facilities in terms of space both indoor and outdoor quality of accommodation drinking water and toilet facilities furniture and fixtures and teaching learning material in AWCs Preschool education activities were being planned and conducted by the AWWs on a routine basis but the activities were mostly repetitive and lacked novelty Non availability of adequate infrastructure was found to be an active deterrent in conduct of activities It is thus suggested that better infrastructural facilities be made available to bring about qualitative change in the ICDS programm

Management Of Gingival Recession Using Pin Hole Technique: A Case Report

One of the most common periodontal disease is Gingival Recession, which is the apical shift of the gingival margin, results in root surface exposure. Its etiology is multifactorial, including teeth position within the dental arch, bony dehiscence, alveolar mucosa thickness, incorrect toothbrushing, orthodontic treatment, and periodontal disease. With the introduction of minimally invasive surgery, various techniques proposed for managing GR minimize patient morbidity and maximize surgical outcomes. The present case report includes a patient with primary complaint of sensitivity and poor aesthetics in the upper front tooth region. Pin Hole technique was planned and performed. Post-operative healing was uneventful, with significant recession reduction in the length of GR and an increase in the width of the attached gingiva
