Type and Characteristics of Fluoride varnish
Authors: Kim Ah-Jin
Published: July 2024

The composition of fluoride varnish has changed over time. Current fluoride varnishes used have the follow-ing active ingredients: 5% NaF with a rosin and ethanol. There is also a fluoride varnish containing 7700 µg F/g NH4F in synthetic polymer varnish base and ethanol solvent. Recently, to enhance remineralization, calcium– phosphate compounds were added to some fluoride varnishes. Also, light-curable resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) varnishes were introduced into the market. In this study, we compared and analyzed the composition and characteristics of several types of fluoride varnish, differences in fluoride deposition amount as a function of fluorine content and fluorine emission, and the remineralization effects of fluoride varnishes that contain sub-stances to promote remineralization. Additionally, we provide information that can be helpful when choosing fluoride varnish in clinical practice.
Prosthetic treatment using implants in patients with severe disabilities
Authors: Doh Re-mee
Published: July 2024

Dental implant treatment is no longer a novel and experimental method, instead, it has become one of the primary options for restoring lost teeth. This technique must be carefully considered and applied to patientswith disabilities to improve their oral function and quality of life. Despite its benefits, patients with disabilitiesare often hesitant to undergo oral reconstruction using implants, particularly those with severe disabilities whomay face challenges during treatment due to communication difficulties, lack of cooperation, and involuntarymovements. These challenges may lead to uncertain treatment outcomes and prognoses. This paper reviews the critical factors to consider when performing oral reconstruction using implants in patients with severe disabilities. Considering these factors, the uncertainty associated with treatment can be reduced, and the reconstruction using implant prostheses that can be maintained over the long term can be contemplated.

Published: July 2024

In oral and maxillofacial surgery, tracheostomy is an occasional procedure in patients with inflammatory diseases, neo-plastic diseases, and trauma. Subcutaneous emphysema is one of the complications of tracheostomy, and is consequence of air introduction or other gases into soft tissues. It is not a common complication, but it does occur occasionally. In 3 cases, Subcutaneous emphysema occurred after tracheostomy accompanied by oral and maxillofacial surgery. And it improved in 2, 3, and 13 days after the occurrence. The purpose of this study is to analyze the treatment and results of clinical cases of subcutaneous emphysema after tracheostomy in patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial surgery and use them as indicators of future treatment.
Necessity of Minor Tooth Movement For Restoration of Implant Prosthesis
Authors: Cho Youngjin
Published: July 2024

When attempting to place a dental implant in a missing area, there is often not enough room for the restoration because the surrounding teeth are tilted toward the missing area, there is an diastema, or the antagonistic teeth are extruding into the edentulous space. To create a functional and aesthetically pleasing prosthesis in suchcases, it is essential to pre-establish a sufficient and normal-sized restorative space to achieve a more naturallooking restoration. As part of the pre-implant treatment process, minor tooth movements can be performed to achieve this goal. The importance of orthodontic treatment in relation to implant therapy is often overlooked, but simple orthodontic tooth movements of adjacent teeth before the completion of implant prostheses can yield significant improvements. Implant therapy performed without correcting abnormal spaces can lead to vari-ous biological and mechanical complications, highlighting the substantial value of such orthodontic treatment. Here, representative cases encountered in clinical practice involving common horizontal and vertical space is-sues and their resolution through orthodontic intervention before completing implant prosthodontic procedure will be introduced.

Authors: Park Jung-Chul
Published: July 2024

Alveolar ridge preservation was introduced many years ago however, the concept is not widely accepted among the patients as well as the clinicians. Recently, the author has newly proposed the terminology of 'immediate guided bone regeneration, iGBR' and the relocated clinical knowhow and iGBR has received lots of interest since then. The clinicians should choose the indication for iGBR carefully, and the selection of biomaterials, compression knowhow, the application of polydeoxyribonucleotide, and the suture technique, Hidden X should be also considered. Especially, the open healing concept using collagen 3D matrix can produce wide zone of keratinized tissue by secondary healing and it may prevent the future peri-implantitis. In conclusion, iGBR is a patient and clinician friendly technique with lots of advantages in terms of hard and soft tissue.
Processing Health Information in Dental Records in the Context of Patient Data Privacy
Authors: Yang Soyun
Published: July 2024

This article aims to discuss the legal limitations in processing personally identifiable health information contained in dental records. Dental records usually contain images such as panoramic radiographs, from which the patient’s anatomical information on the oral and maxillofacial region can be recognized. Recent development in data processing technology sug-gests the possibility of enhanced chances of human identification from this information.To illustrate current privacy regulations related to the processing of information in dental records, relevant clauses in current laws including the Personal Information Protection Act and the Medical Service Act, as well as administrative guidelines and court cases were collected and analyzed. When using dental records as evidence in trial or alternative dispute resolution, the information should be within the scope of the disputed issues and the person submitting the records must have a legitimate ground to retain the record. When processing personally identifiable information from dental records for research purposes, adequate pseudonymization is required.Considering the possible expansion of the scope of personally identifiable information and the limitations in conducting research with highly pseudonymized images, it is necessary to raise awareness within the dental society of the current pri-vacy regulations, while also relaxing regulations in accordance with technological developments.

Authors: Kim Kyoung-A
Published: July 2024

All diagnostic X-ray equipments in dental clinics must undergo a radiation safety inspection upon initial installation and every three years thereafter. The objective of this study was to propose an appropriate inspection cycle based on the results of safety management inspection for dental diagnostic X-ray equipment.The subject of this study was the radiation safety management inspection results of 774 X-ray equipments at 88 dental clinics. The period of use of the X-ray equipment was analyzed using the device type, inspection date, installation date, manufacturing date, approval date, date of discontinuation of use, transfer date, and disposal date. The X-ray equipment composition comprised 477 intraoral units, 143 panoramic units, 134 CBCT units,and 20 other radiographic units. In equipment suitability classification, out of 774 devices, 98.7% (764 devices) were deemed suitable, and 1.3% (10 devices) were deemed unsuitable. Among the 10 unfit devices, one (0.8%) had a lifespan of 9 years, two (1.8%) had 12 years, three (5.4%) had 15 years, one (4.3%) had 18 years, two (18.2%) had 21 years, and one (100%) had 27 years.

Published: July 2024

Along with the advancement of dental x-ray equipment, the use of diagnostic radiation has been rapidly increasing. Accordingly, concerns about radiation exposure are increasing. In particular, imaging examinations inthe dental field have a low individual radiation exposure. However, the frequency of the examinations is high.Also, due to the abundant usage of dental CBCT, concerns has been widely spread across the users and the nation. In response to this, there has been a need to establish a dose monitoring system for dental x-ray equipment.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish of a national dose monitoring system for imaging examinations in the dentistry. For the system establishment, the structure of intraoral, panoramic radiography and CBCT system was surveyed and the integrated data collection plan was prepared. Based on this, dose monitoring system, which can be utilized for nation-wide, was established and a pilot operation was conducted. In orderto continuously expand the system in the future, system supplements should be confirmed through gatheringexpert opinions.

Authors: Chun Yanghyun , Kim Taeseok
Published: July 2024

Elderly care faciliities and welfare services are becoming more important as the aging tendancy accelarates and the proportion of the elderly population increases. However, in long-term care ratings for elderly care services, evaluation criteria for oral health or oral hygiene managing ability are insufficient. In this study, we surveyed the teeth condition of the elderly in long-term care facilities located in Korea, and compared with the results of KNHANES. Correlation analysis was performed between collected data about teeth condition and other factors of patients including other oral hygiene conditions, information about long-term care, and systemic diseases.The above can be summarized as results and proposals as follows.1. Teeth conditions including natural teeth of elderly in long-term care facilities are worse than general people. The elderly in long-term care facilities were proven to have less natural teeth, less percentage of natural teeth more than 20, and be more edentulous than general people.2. Three indices about natural teeth also had correlation with periodontal condition, xerostomia, and temporomandibular disorders. Also, number of prosthesis and dental caries had correlation with each other, and had relation with salivary function.3. Since maintaining the natural teeth is nationally considered as infortant factors to maintain the quality of life, management of natural teeth, and eventually, general oral health should be performed necessarily in the elderly of long-term care facilities.

Published: July 2024

Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the oral health of inpatients with mental disorders, providing foun­dational data for future oral health policies.
Materials and Methods: Oral examination results obtained from alcohol use disorder and schizophrenia spectrum disorder patients currently residing in mental health facility were used to investigate the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index and Community Periodontal Index score. Self-administered questionnaire record was utilized to categorize patients based on survey items, and the DMFT index and Community Periodontal Index results were analyzed.
Results: As age increased, both DMFT and MT showed higher values. Schizophrenia spectrum disorder patients exhibited higher DMFT and MT results compared to those with alcohol use disorder. Longer duration of illness and hospitalization were associated with poorer oral health conditions. Significant differences were observed in oral health-related indices based on toothbrushing frequency, post-meal brushing, and time spent per brushing session. Individuals who had received dental treatment in the past 6 months and regular dental check-ups before admission demonstrated significantly lower DMFT and MT results.
Conclusion: In mental health facility inpatients, oral health conditions varied based on age, types of mental disorders, illness and hospitalization duration, oral care habits, and dental visits. Overall, their oral health status was less favorable than that of the general population. Regular oral exams, oral health education, and hygiene management training for facility personnel are believed to significantly improve oral health in these patients.
Rhinoplasty for unilateral cleft lip deformity
Authors: Son Jangwoo , Ahn Kang-Min
Published: July 2024

Cleft nasal deformity is most common sequel after cleft lip and palate surgery. The severity of the nasal deformity is usually decided by initial cleft state, previous operation skill and postoperative care. Secondary cleft rhinoplasty for unilateral cleft patient requires both esthetic and functional results. Understanding the anatomic defect and growth potential after cleft operation help to perform favorable secondary rhinoplasty. Surgical methods for deformed cleft nose are diverse and each methods have pros and cons. Closed or open rhinoplasty with or without cartilage graft and piriform augmentation are the mainstay for cleft rhinoplasty. The purpose of this study was to describe current concepts in secondary rhinoplasty for unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. Secondary rhinoplasty for cleft patients requires an understanding of the anatomic situation, and the use of cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty techniques for its successful management.

Authors: Shin Hyoung Seok , Kim Jae-Hoon
Published: July 2024

This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of dental students in a dental school where the ubiquitous-based test (UBT) system has been implemented for several years. The research explored differences in perceptions based on respondents' characteristics and identified possibilities for improving the UBT system.This study surveyed fourth-year dental students who had taken the UBT exams for two years. A questionnaire covered respondent characteristics, UBT system perceptions, convenience, reliability, and comparison of UBT and paper-based test (PBT). The responses were measured on a 5-point Likert scale for all items except for some respondent characteristics. Analysis employed descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, independent t-tests, and Spearman's correlation at a significance-level of p<0.05.A total of 157 responses were analyzed, including 86 respondents in 2021 and 71 in 2022. The respondents' general characteristics were similar across both years. Students exhibited positive perceptions towards the introduction of the UBT system and its convenience. However, their preference for UBT over PBT was less pronounced. Female students had higher tablet ownership rates than males. Gender-based and tablet ownership-based differences were observed in several items, such as tablet usage frequency and interest in new technologies. The strong correlations were identified between PBT and UBT assessment results.With user-centered interface enhancements and the incorporation of multimedia items, the UBT system will be effectively utilized in dental education as a valuable tool for both instruction and assessment.
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma with a congenitally missing mandibular second molar : a rare case report
Authors: Kim Yu Ri , Lee Byung-Do
Published: July 2024

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor predominantly occurring in children. This tumor is often asymptomatic and associated with disturbances in tooth eruption. We present the case of a 7-year-old boy who exhibited delayed eruption of his left mandibular first molar, attributable to AFO with a congenitally missing mandibular second molar. Radiographs revealed a well-defined, ovoid, radiolucent lesion containing sparse calcified materials in the left posterior mandible. To the best of our knowledge, few reports have documented AFO in conjunction with the congenital absence of a permanent tooth. This case is discussed along with a review of relevant literature.

Authors: Von Nordheim David , Herrick Cynthia , Verdecias Niko , Garg Rachel , Kreuter Matthew W. , McQueen Amy
Published: July 2024

Aims

Executive function (EF) impairment is associated with poorer outcomes for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Previous research has identified risk factors for EF impairment, but many of these are also associated with type 2 diabetes. To address this issue, this study identified relevant variables from the literature and compared their association with EF in a sample of people with type 2 diabetes.

Methods

Adult members of a Medicaid health plan diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in a social needs intervention trial. Using baseline data from the trial, bivariate and multivariable regression analyses examined associations between EF and demographic, health, and psychosocial factors.

Results

When controlling for other factors, we identified six significant correlates of EF impairment: age (β = 0.10), education (college vs. no college; β = −0.38), depression symptoms (β = 0.18), comorbidity burden (β = 0.21), diabetes-related distress (β = 0.14), and future time orientation (β = −0.13).

Conclusion

Our analysis identified several factors associated with greater EF impairment, which may interfere with diabetes self-management. Providers should consider these factors when prescribing treatments and determine whether additional resources or accommodations are warranted.

Objective: This study aimed to assess perceptions and actions taken by Finnish dental professionals in suspected cases of child physical abuse (CPA) and to describe changes over 10 years.
Material and methods: Data collected from two child abuse and neglect (CAN) surveys among Finnish dental professionals, working in public health care, covering suspicions of CPA and actions taken as well as training on CPA issues, were compared. The chi-squared (χ2) test was used to analyze associations.
Results: In total, 625 (2008) and 1,025 (2019) questionnaires were completed. Respondents reported that they suspected CPA more frequently in 2008 than in 2019 (21.0% vs. 8.7%, p < 0.001). Out of all respondents, 1.1% had reported their concern to the police in 2019. Worries about the report’s negative consequences to the child at home (44.5% vs. 56.4%, p < 0.001) and to the informer (30.2% vs. 36.3%, p = 0.016) increased between the surveys. The proportion of respondents with previous training on CPA issues increased between the surveys (5.9% vs. 36.4%, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Recognition of CPA was low and decreased over the years. Furthermore, mandatory reporting to the police was low. Additional education on issues related to CPA is needed.

The relevance of the study is based on the need to improve the Unified State System of Prevention and Elimination of Emergencies in order to increase the safety level in case of accidents of natural and anthropogenic origins in water transport industry facilities. In the field of functional subsystems of water transport, the focus is made on eliminating marine and internal waterway oil and petroleum product spills as well as the search and rescue operations during marine emergencies. At the same time, the scope of emergencies in water transport that can be environmentally hazardous is more extensive and includes fires and explosions, discharges of non-petroleum dangerous goods (for example, coal, sulfur, chemical goods, etc.) The Unified State System is regulated in conditions of insufficient scientific substantiation of the principles of construction, organization, and use of functional subsystems. Therefore, the study aims to substantiate the necessity to establish and develop structural schemes of a new functional subsystem that includes functioning modes, management bodies, responsibility levels, logistical and financial support. For this purpose, the existing functional subsystems have been analyzed, and the development of an integral functional subsystem to prevent and eliminate emergencies in water transport has been proposed. Methods of decomposition of emergencies and generalization of information on the operation of other transports as well as the analysis of regulatory legal acts outlining certain issues of the operation of these functional subsystems have been used. The characteristics to determine the extent of emergency danger have been formulated; the detailed characteristics of levels of a functional subsystem to prevent and eliminate a wide range of various emergencies have been provided based on the example of marine water transport; the subsystem tasks for various levels of emergency have been formulated.

Authors: Pekarcikova Miriam , Trebuna Peter , Kronova Jana , Kopec Jan
Published: July 2024

The implementation of lean manufacturing principles into both the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors makes it possible to achieve a high level of efficiency in many indicators. The presented article deals with the influence of lean production on the methodology of measuring the performance of enterprises in the non-production sphere. Part of the methodology is the analysis of key performance indicators, which serve to calculate the main quantities related to the efficiency of the operation and its optimization. In connection with the definition of different types of losses that have been identified and are successfully reviewed in the production sphere, the most common causes of losses and waste that can occur in the non-production sphere have been defined. Even though the principles of lean production were primarily developed for the production sphere, in the presented article it is possible to see the positive influence of lean principles in the non-production sphere. Customers expect a quick transformation of their requirements into products in the form of a product or service with a certain degree of personalization. Businesses focused on the non-manufacturing sector meet potential customers who are largely active and personalize products for which they are willing to pay. The path of implementing innovative solutions is one of those paths that contributes to positive change and creates prerequisites for moving towards the so-called smart business also in the non-production sphere.
Arthropod Diversity in an Urban Forest from Miami Dade County, Florida, US
Authors: Cendan Luis , Perez Antonio Mijail , Cottiere Stevenson , Maul Pilar
Published: July 2024

Arthropods are excellent candidates for studying how the formation of urban ecosystems impacts the environment for several reasons. Foremost of these is the variety of roles played by arthropods in ecosystem functioning (e.g., food web dynamics, nutrient cycling and redistribution, and pollination) with many of these roles being economically important [e.g. pollination by domestic bees is an $18 billion/year industry in the US alone]. Urban ecosystems have been neglected in ecological research. Arthropods are abundant in urban settings, but little is known about how these animals respond to urbanization. In this project, we present data on species composition and structure of the communities of arthropods from Saint Thomas University Urban Forest, in the city of Miami Gardens, Miami Dade County, State of Florida, USA. In order to conduct our samplings, we set up 16 pitfall traps, as is usually done for invertebrate soil biodiversity. We then sorted and identified collected individuals using a Dissecting Microscope. Data were analyzed using PAST to calculate diversity indices of the sites studied and species organization. We collected a total of 31 species distributed in 21 Families and 13 Orders. Most species were identified up to the species level. Total number of individuals was 2147, representing a high abundance. The most abundant species was Solenopsis molesta, represented by 1313 individuals. Invertebrates are sensitive to climatic and ecological alterations. Their small bodies desiccate easily, a factor which may limit their evolutionary response to accelerated temperature increases. Consequently, the understanding, preservation, and development of urban forests can provide an avenue through which the conservation of local communities is sustained, starting with some of its most numerous and ecologically sensitive species.
Kecenderungan Perilaku Narsis pada Penganggaran di Perguruan Tinggi
Authors: Apriani Lisia
Published: July 2024

Within the scope of the company, the budget has a very important role in controlling and allocating financial resources. Budgetary slack is a crucial part of budgeting because it can affect company performance and managers' intentions. This research investigates the relationship that exists between narcissism and budgetary slack in the context of higher education institutions in Indonesia. In addition to considering the variable narcissism, this study also analyzes the role of gender as a moderating variable in this relationship. The approach taken by this study is quite unique, as it focuses on the Indonesian context and uses online survey methods in data collection. Data analysis was carried out using the Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results of this study provide interesting findings. One of the main findings is that the gender factor has an influence on the relationship between the level of narcissism and budgetary slack. Although it is hypothesized that narcissism can contribute to budgetary slack, this research finds that the influence of narcissism on budgetary slack cannot be confirmed in the context of higher education institutions in Indonesia. This shows the existence of complexity in the relationship between narcissism and budgetary slack which may be influenced by other factors that in the research gender factor turns out to influence.

على الرغم من أن العولمة قد ساهمت في تعزيز التواصل وانتقال المعرفة وتبادل التجارب بين الثقافات والشعوب، وأحسنت معيار حياة بعض الشعوب وتحسين البنية التحتية وتحديث الأنظمة السياسية، يتعين علينا الإدراك أن هناك تحديات كبيرة ترافقت هذه العملية. تشمل التأثيرات السلبية فقدان بعض مبادئ السيادة الوطنية التقليدية، وتفوق المؤسسات الدولية والشركات الكبيرة، والتداخلات الخارجية في الشؤون الداخلية للدول، وتفشي الاعتمادية الاقتصادية، وزيادة الفوارق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية. و يعتمد مدى تأثير العولمة على مدى تكيف الدول مع هذه التحولات، اذ من الضروري أن تتبنى الدول سياسات مناسبة للتعامل مع التحديات الناجمة عن العولمة، وضمان استفادة شعوبها ومصالحها الوطنية من هذه العملية، دون المساس بالهوية الوطنية والقيم والثقافة الخاصة به.

"Child abuse and neglect (CAN) have long-lasting effects on a child’s physical, social, and psychological development. Teachers have a unique position to identify, protect, and intervene in these cases, but they often fail to help children in need. This study aims to describe and investigate the factors associated with CAN reporting behavior of school teachers and counselors from Romania using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a framework. Methods. We conducted a mixed-method study using a modified version of the Child Abuse Intention to Report Scale (CARIS-R). 1025 teachers (91,7% female) participated in the survey. Quantitative and qualitative data analyses were performed to explore the predictors of intention to report CAN and the reasons to report CAN. Results. More than half of the teachers (51.9%) suspected at least one CAN case, but only 28.1% reported their concerns. Attitudes towards child discipline and professional responsibility, direct subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were significant predictors of intention to report CAN. Eight categories of reasons might influence a teacher’s decision to report CAN, including the type of abuse, the teacher’s characteristics, or the perceived social support. Conclusions. This study’s findings contribute to our understanding of the individual factors that can influence teachers’ intention to report CAN in Romania. Teachers from Romania should have the opportunity to participate in evidence-based training, which fosters their confidence in making CAN reports. Keywords: child abuse and neglect; intention to report CAN; teachers; theory of planned behavior; knowledge."
