Publication Anatomical variation of maxillary sinus mimicking a periapical cyst: A case report(Kathmandu University, 2005) Basnet, P; Kamath, MP; Kundabala, M; Menda, AMaxillary sinus can pose diagnostic dilemma radiographically because of its anatomical variation which can mimic a periapical pathosis. This case report deals with one such diagnostic problem, where a maxillary sinus was interpreted in an intraoral periapical radiograph as a periapical cyst. With the advances in imaging techniques, the use of an Ultrasound imaging together with application of Colour Power Doppler helped in revealing the contents of the radiolucent area and come up with an accurate diagnosis. Thus a thorough knowledge about the normal anatomy and its variations and proper diagnostic aids are essential in the diagnosis of periapical pathology.Publication Crown augmentation using modified bilayered restoration for anchorage: A case report(Kathmandu University, 2007) Pai, V; Kundabala, M; Dixit, P; Gautam, SAn ankylosed tooth can be suitable for obtaining orthodontic anchorage. However, if such a tooth lacks adequate clinical crown height, the anchorage will not be effective. In those situations surgical luxation or restorative crown augmentation is suggested. This case report is about the restorative treatment of an ankylosed, infraoccluded tooth to enhance the anchorage for forced orthodontic eruption of impacted maxillary canines. A crown augmentation in the form of a modified bilayered (sandwich) restoration using GIC, Composite resin and Silver amalgam on left maxillary first molar (26) was successful in sustaining the anchorage for forced eruption and alignment of impacted canines.Publication Delayed replantation: Can it be a success?(Kathmandu University, 2008) Parolia, A; Kundabala, M; Shetty, N; Manuel, STAbstract This case report describes delayed replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor in a 17-year-old male patient following an injury on fall one day earlier. Avulsed maxillary right permanent central incisor was replanted back into the socket after extra-oral root canal treatment. One year follow up showed validity of treatment, with no evidence of resorption in the replanted tooth. Key words: Replantation, Maxillary central incisor, ResorptionPublication Immediate reattachment of fractured tooth segment using dual cure resin(Kathmandu University, 2008) Joshi, N; Shetty, N; Kundabala, MAbstract Crown fracture of maxillary anterior teeth is frequent dental injuries for which patients seek immediate dental treatment. Immediate reattachment of the intact fractured tooth segment is a therapeutic choice in such cases. This case report presents one of the best methods used for reattachment, which is an ultraconservative technique. It allows the restoration of original tooth contour, colour and aesthetics. Key words: Crown Fracture, Aesthetics, Dual cure resinsPublication In search of endodontic pathogens(Kathmandu University, 2006) Suchitra, U; Kundabala, M; Shenoy, MMSuccess of root canal therapy depends on the complete eradication of microflora from the root canal system. A great deal of research is needed to identify and define the role of the pathogens which are involved in the pathogenesis of the periradicular diseases. This will help the endodontist to plan the best treatment by irradiation of pathogens which, in turn predict the outcome of the treatment. This article reviews the endodontic microflora, routes of microbial entry, methods to identify endodontic microbes and markers that permit the clinician to know when to conclude the treatment. Key words: Endodontic flora, Anachoresis, Culture media, Polymerase Chain Reaction, Antibiotic sensitivity testing.Publication The retreatment of a mandibular second premolar with unusual canal anatomy(Kathmandu University, 2009) Pai, AEV; Gautam, S; Kundabala, MAbstract Mandibular premolars usually have a single root and canal. Complex root canal system with atypical variations is a common finding among them. Failure to identify such a one can affect the prognosis of endodontic treatment. Apart from knowledge and sophisticated instruments, a good clinical expertise is required in identifying, tracing and treating such a root canal system. This case report is on the retreatment of a left mandibular second premolar (44) having a Vertucci’s Type III canal configuration. Inability to identify this canal configuration led to a missed canal, faulty obturation and post treatment apical periodontitis
