World-Record Operation:

Removed 232 Teeth From an Indian Teenager

 

MUMBAI: Surgeons have removed 232 teeth from the mouth of an Indian teenager in what they believe may be a world-record operation.

 Ashik Gavai, 17, sought medical help for a swelling on the right side of his lower jaw and the case was referred to the city´s JJ Hospital, where they found he was suffering from a condition known as complex odontoma, head of dentistry Sunanda Dhivare-Palwankar told.

 

"We operated on Monday and it took us almost seven hours. We thought it may be a simple surgery but once we opened it there were multiple pearl-like teeth inside the jaw bone," she said.

 

After removing those they also found a larger "marble-like" structure which they struggled to shift and eventually had to "chisel out" and remove in fragments, she added.


The youngster´s father, Suresh Gavai, said that "I was worried that it may turn out to be cancer so I brought him to Mumbai,"

Dhivare-Palwankar said the literature they had come across on the condition showed a maximum of 37 teeth being removed in such a procedure, whereas she and her team had counted more than 232 taken from Gavai´s mouth.

"I think it could be a world record" she said.

Delhi is the most unsafe for children

 

Delhi has earned the shameful distinction of being the most unsafe city in India for women.

 Now comes another shocker. Among India’s 53 mega-cities, the national capital is the most unsafe for children as crimes against children have reportedly gone up exponentially all over the country. 
On an average, crimes against 16 children are reported in Delhi everyday, official data has revealed. The capital is followed by Mumbai, where crimes are committed against three children daily.

  

All across the country, crimes against children went up by 52.5 per cent in a year. Of the total crimes, 54.2 per cent of cases were related to kidnapping and abduction of children, 51.3 per cent to trafficking of girls, 49.3 per cent to abutment to suicide while 44.7 per cent of cases were related to rapes.

 Sanjay Gupta, director of Chetna, an NGO that works for the rights of children, feels the rapid increase in the capital’s migrant population has led to the increase in crimes against children.

Delhi Police officers said these issues can be reported at the Delhi Police Juvenile Justice Unit.

“We have taken this initiative to create awareness in society about issues of children protection. The objective is to create an aware society that responds to the needs of children in various situations,” an officer said.
