Patient Experience
A 72-year-old retired fisherman from coastal Mangalore presented with complete edentulism affecting his nutrition.

The fisherman returned to enjoying his traditional fish curry diet within 3 months, with his grandchildren celebrating his renewed smile. (Patient of Dr. prajvitha)
An 8-year-old schoolgirl from an affluent family suffered dental trauma during a cricket match, avulsing her maxillary central incisor.

The tooth survived with vital pulp, avoiding lifelong prosthetic needs, and the child's confidence was fully restored. (Patient of Dr. prajvitha)
A 45-year-old construction worker with poorly controlled diabetes presented with a massive odontogenic infection threatening his airway. Dr. Shetty performed emergency incision and drainage under local anesthesia due to his unstable metabolic condition, followed by staged extraction and antibiotic therapy. His recovery took 6 weeks but prevented systemic sepsis. (Patient of Dr. prajvitha)
A 19-year-old college student with ectodermal dysplasia had only 8 malformed teeth.

The lesion resolved completely without affecting her pregnancy. (Patient of Dr. prajvitha)
A 60-year-old retired school principal with osteoporosis and bisphosphonate use required multiple extractions.

Healing progressed uneventfully over 4 months with close monitoring. (Patient of Dr. prajvitha)
A 12-year-old boy from a tribal community presented with cleidocranial dysplasia and multiple unerupted supernumerary teeth.

A 50-year-old heart transplant recipient on immunosuppressants developed aggressive periodontitis. Dr. Shetty designed a modified periodontal therapy protocol with antibiotic prophylaxis and laser-assisted pocket reduction. The treatment preserved his dentition without compromising his cardiac status. (Patient of Dr. prajvitha)
A 7-year-old autistic child with self-injurious behavior presented with fractured anterior teeth.
