Dentigerous cysts are relatively common cystic pathologies in pediatric dentistry, particularly among children in mixed dentition stage. It develops in contact with a tooth whose roots have not yet formed. It most often constitutes a complication of the pulpal involvement of the temporary tooth, which extends to the underlying germ.
The main objective of this study was to determine the occurrence of root resorption of adjacent permanent teeth associated with impacted maxillary canines and to identify a predictive model for RR by means of orthopantomographic variables, with the intention of reducing the need for additional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.
A high percentage of the general public experiences dental anxiety when visiting dental professionals for dental care and existing research indicates dental anxiety can dramatically affect patients and their oral health.
Background: The world's population is currently aging. Diseases in elders are inevitable concerns that comes with age. Being aware of their dietary and eating habits can have a big impact on maintaining good health. Purpose was to study the correlating factors between personal demographic data, nutritional awareness and consumption behavior of the elderly in Central region of Thailand.
This case report emphasizes on an unusual diagnosis involving interdisciplinary involvement of the enamel, dentin and underlying periodontium in a rare clinical presentation which was diagnosed and treated under a dental operating microscope. A craze line is a discontinuity in tooth structure commonly induced by trauma or bruxism, treating such a condition commonly involves the use of restorative cements, flowable composites. However, based on the depth and extent of the craze line the underlying pulp may also require an intentional root canal treatment followed by rehabilitation with veneers or crowns.
Alterations in the oral microbial community during preg nancy may affect maternal oral health, birth outcomes, and infant oral health. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. The patients included in this study; pregnant women who were in the first trimester of pregnancy, a survey was applied to them.
When consumed in appropriate proportions, probiotics are live bacteria that are taken as dietary supplements and provide a wide range of health advantages. Probiotics are currently widely employed in a variety of applications in a variety of medical settings such as in urinary tract infections, cancer risk reduction, gastrointestinal tract infections, as well as in dentistry such as caries prevention, periodontal health, and halitosis reduction.
Gingival and periodontal disorders are an important issue in dentistry and medicine. When ozone is fully utilised, the bulk of the factors and causes that contribute to the onset of these diseases are decreased or eliminated (gas, water, oil). Ozone is employed for its antibacterial activity, the oxidation of bio-iota precursors and microbial toxins encapsulated in periodontal contaminations, and its retouching and tissue recovery properties in all stages of gingival and periodontal disorders. The primary purpose of this article is to provide an overview of ozone's clinical applications in periodontics. It is entirely optional to learn about contraindications and how they pertain to other dental professions. If this goal is met, future examiners will be curious about what has been tried and the possible therapeutic application of ozone in Periodontics.
Oral cancer includes about 2% of all malignancies, whereas the most prevalent kind is Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), which constitutes for 90% of oral cancers with a poor prognosis and a superior local relapse. Since OSCC often spreads to lymph nodes in its advanced stages, the investigation of new treatment methods should be prioritized. Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the predominant malignant tumors influencing human health as a result of late diagnosis and a superior rate of invasion.
The high risk of cross-infection in dentistry has created fear and anxiety about dental patients applying for dental appointments during the pandemic period. With the initiation of vaccination, a normalization process has also started in dental clinics. This study aims to evaluate the effects of vaccination on the psychological status of dental patients in new normal dentistry during the COVID-19 outbreak normalization process in Turkey.
The term, potentially malignant disorders', was recommended to refer to precancer as it conveys that not all disorders described under this term may transform into cancer. Critically evaluating all definitions proposed so far for oral leukoplakia, the Working Group agreed that the term leukoplakia should be used to recognize white plaques of questionable risk having excluded (other) known diseases or disorders that carry no increased risk for cancer'...
Aim: Obesity is a major public health issue, and may affect the relationship between elevation of the acute-phase inflammatory marker C-reactive Protein (CRP) level and periodontitis. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between elevated CRP levels and periodontal status in Japanese adults with and without obesity.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of experiential learning approaches using various pedagogies that have been incorporated in dental education on students’ learning styles. Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) has recently redesigned the predoctoral curriculum to reinforce team-based discussion and to promote self-directed learning and it was necessary to investigate whether the change in pedagogical approach to teaching had any influence on how students learn...
In dentistry, cognitive-behavioral strategies are fairly quoted in the literature dedicated to treating Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and bruxism, a prevalent facial musculoskeletal chronic condition and facial movement behavior, respectively. Both conditions have various still-debated etiological and contributing factors. Despite being widely accepted and fairly mentioned during lectures or dental professionals’ routine, cognitive-behavioral techniques for chronic facial pain or chronic facial movement dysfunction and parafunction are rarely scrutinized, resulting in their poor understanding...
Dental trauma of permanent teeth is often the subject of emergency consultations, especially when they are the cause of spectacular lesions such as dental expulsion, lateral luxation, and pulp exposure. Therefore, the purpose of the immediate treatment is to maintain pulp vitality and periodontal health of the tooth. The prognosis of these traumatized teeth depends on the type of dental trauma, the emergency treatment and the time elapsed between the trauma and the treatment.
Aim: To assess the concomitant effects of temporary bite raising light cured orthodontic band cement versus traditional acrylic bite plane on the masticatory muscles using electromyography in orthodontic patients.
Materials and methods: Bio electromyography signals were recorded in masseter and temporalis of 10 patients requiring orthodontic bite raise before and immediately post bite raise. The sample population was divided randomly into two groups one group with light cured orthodontic bite raise and the other group with temporary acrylic bite plane.
Introduction: The determination of skeletal growth is very important in orthodontic practice. Different radiological tools are used such as Hand and wrist X ray and maturation of cervical vertebrae from lateral cephalograms.
Aim: The main objective of this study was to find a method to evaluate the growth potential through the stages of dental maturation from the panoramic radiograph.
Background and aim: Geogeraphic Tongue (GT) is a recurrent disorder in tongue with several causes and it is a common condition in patients with recurrent acute inflammatory diseases like asthma and allergic rehinitis. The Purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of geographic tongue and associated factors in asthmatic patients referred to Masih Daneshvary Hospital in 2010
Background: Pyogenic granuloma is a reactive hyperplastic lesion with a slight female predilection, due to the vascular effects of hormones; although, in some cases it can also occur by chronic irritation, trauma and certain drugs. This lesion shows a predilection for the gingiva in 75% of cases. As for the terminology, it carries that name because it was thought that a pyogenic organism caused this type of injury. Although, it is now known to be a misnomer, it is still referred to as Pyogenic Granuloma.
Purpose: To review existing classifications concerning soft tissue considerations around dental implants prior to dental implants insertion that may predict postoperative soft tissue outcomes.
Materials and Methods: We reviewed all studies concerning soft tissue considerations/classification around dental implants, prior to dental implants insertion, that may predict postoperative soft tissue outcomes.
Introduction: Cephalometric radiographs are very important tool not only in orthodontic and pedodontic treatment but also in diagnosing of systemic aberrations such as pituitary gland anomaly. The development of Sella Turcica overlapped with it that’s why any anomaly of the bony structure can influence the gland [6]. Throughout the literature, many author studied the different anomalies that can affect the shape of the Sella Turcica...
Cyst-like lesions in the mandible rarely develop into malignancies, and the reported incidence is between 0.3 and 2%. The present study describes a rare case of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma of the mandible arising from an odontogenic cyst. A 80-year-old male was referred to Trieste University Maggiore Hospital (Trieste, Italy), with acute pain in the left retromolar area...
Background: Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome (PLS) is a condition that results in severe periodontal destruction. Patients suffer from severe inflammation, bleeding of gums, deepening of periodontal pockets, swelling, and tooth mobility, and it ultimately leads to complete loss of primary and permanent dentition. The response of PLS to treatment is unpredictable and often complicated by psychosocial difficulty.
In corrections of dentofacial deformities where the mandible is the problem, the inverted ‘L’ osteotomy may be a good option in specific cases, such as large mandibular advancements, condylar alterations, reoperations of the mandible, to increase the posterior facial height, among other situations.
This study aimed at determining the prevalence of self-reported and clinically determined dry mouth among elderly patients attending a referral hospital in Dar es Salaam; and to assess factors associated with the condition. This cross-sectional study included elderly patients aged 60 years and above who were attending Mwananyamala referral hospital in Dar es Salaam between January and February 2017.
Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF) is an inflammatory disorder caused by an autoimmune response to group A streptococcus bacteria. Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD), the condition caused by ARF, leads to long term damage of the heart valves. Although rare in developed countries, there are approximately 0.5 million new cases globally of ARF each year and around 300,000 of these patients will develop symptoms of RHD.
Dental Fluorosis (DF) manifests by too much ingestion of fluoride resulting in disturbances in enamel mineralization. The result is intrinsic discolorations in the maxillary and mandibular teeth with a poor esthetic appearance. This aesthetic damage has a significant impact on the quality of life of the patients concerned, particularly with regard to their socio-cultural integration, which requires appropriate care.
Aortic dissection (AD) is the most common catastrophic lesion in aortic diseases, the main cause of which is related to inflammation, but there are still no reports of periodontitis and aortic dissection. A 57-year-old male patient was first admitted to hospital with "periodontal pain on both sides". He was diagnosed with periodontitis and underwent treatment for periodontal disease.
The lipoma is the most common benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin in human patients and the oral cavity may be rarely affected. The definitive treatment of this lesion is the surgical excision in one piece. A 40-year-old healthy woman presented with a large painless swelling in the left lower vestibule, which had slowly increased in size during the last two years and the mass was suspected to be a lipoma.
To monitor changes in dental caries prevalence of 10-13 year old children living in a fluoridated area, a newly fluoridated area and an area without water fluoridation in NSW, Australia. Dental caries prevalence was recorded for 10-13 year old children living in three locations in NSW by six trained and calibrated examiners for the years 2009 and 2011.
Round cells are unified by morphology, differing widely by histogenesis. It generally contains sheets round cell which are small having large nucleus, scant cytoplasm, hyperchromatic or vesicular nucleus. They are mostly highly undifferentiated neoplasms composed of a monotonous population of round cells with high Nuclear: Cytoplasm ratio.
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease, provoked in response to periodontopathogens in the biofilm of the subgingival plaque, affecting tissues supporting the teeth. Members of the red complex, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia are considered as the most pathogenic microbial components at present.
The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of a new restorative material which releases fluoride and calcium, compared to resin-modified glass-ionomer cement and a non-fluoride releasing resin in preventing secondary caries development in simulated cariogenic condition. Class V preparation were placed in molar teeth, the occlusal margin of enamel.
Management of impacted incisors is a serious challenge to the clinician. The etiological and morphological diagnosis is decisive for specifying the prognosis, especially if the incisor discloses crown or root defects, that are caused most of times by early trauma. Preoperative prescription of 3D imaging is recommended to specify the external morphology and structural defects of the included incisor, which certainly helps establishing an appropriate treatment plan.
To evaluate the prevalence of incidental temporomandibular joint findings on brain and orbit magnetic resonance imaging scans and assess if these findings are associated with symptoms. Our sample comprised 64 males (46.4%) and 74 females (53.6%), mean age 54.75±17.45 (range: 18-87). Data collected from each temporomandibular joint included articular displacement, articular effusion, condyle flattering, condyle erosions, capsule enhancement, and bone marrow edema.
when the impression is removed from the patient mouth, it gets contaminated with the pathogenic microorganisms that are transported between the dental clinic and laboratory and may affect dental personale. Forty impressions of a sterile metallic die using Zelgan 2002 were contaminated with suspension of staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively and poured in partitioned impressions to obtain 120 casts of Kalstone with the segments marked A,B and C for each cast.
Oral rehabilitation using all-ceramic systems is widely popular among both dental practitioners as well as patients, considering its ability to simulate the optical properties of teeth in relation to color, surface texture and translucency. Advancement of ceramic systems, allow the fabrication of prosthesis with reliable esthetic and successful outcomes. Zirconia ceramic system are an excellent alternative to fixed prostheses with metal infrastructure. This case report series describes the esthetic enhancement by replacing missing anterior teeth with zirconia- based all- ceramic prosthesis.
Whilst the majority of research in health professions education is quantitative in nature, this is often not sufficient in order to explore important concepts and questions. In its broadest sense, phenomenology attempts to explore people’s own lived experience and how they interpret that experience...
