| Abstract: | Background: Noma is an rapid spreading devasting disease but opportunistic that often results in severe facial disfigurements and mortality if left untreated. Cancrum oris (noma) is caused by the spirochete Borrelia vincenti in association with anaerobic bacteria, commonly a member of the fusobacteria.It usually occurs at earlier age groups, and with the etiology being malnutrition, infection like measles, TB, Vitamin deficiency, improper oral hygiene. Since Noma spreads rapidly, early detection and treatment is important to prevent the developing disease. Materials and methods: A survey was conducted among 50 general dental practitioners, a self designed questionnaire was prepared comprising of about 13 questions, which was regarding the diagnosis and management of the condition. The results from the survey was tabulated and analysed. Results: All of them were aware about cancrum oris, 50% said the condition can be diagnosed by routine examination and patient history. 30% said that gingivitis is the initial stage in development of cancrum oris. Most of them (45%) were aware that antibiotics should be administered as the first line of treatment for cancrum oris. All of them had an average level of knowledge about diagnosing and management of cancrum oris. Conclusion: Proper and through routine examination, further knowledge about management and reconstruction procedures in treatment of NOMA should be well known for the GDP’s in future which can only be achieved by them by improving their knowledge about the condition. Workshops and education programs should be conducted for the same to improve the knowledge and awarness about the devasting disease NOMA for a Better future. |
