Abstract

Aim
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical performance of two adhesive restorative systems (Single Bond/Filtek P-60 and Single Bond/Filtek Z-250) in posterior teeth using a modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) system.

Methods and Materials
A total of 70 restorations were placed in molars and premolars in 30 patients (14 females and 16 males; 18-40 years) by one operator. All restorations were directly evaluated by two examiners at baseline, six months, and 12 months using the following modified USPHS rating criteria: marginal integrity, marginal discoloration, surface texture, contour, postoperative sensitivity, and recurrent caries.

Results
At six and 12 months all restorations were available for evaluation of marginal discoloration, surface texture, contour, postoperative sensitivity, and recurrent caries that remained with 100% Alpha-ratings at recalls for both restorative systems. Marginal integrity for P-60 was scored as 94.3% and 91.4% Alpha at six and 12 months, respectively, and rates for Z-250 were 100% and 97.1% Alpha at six and 12 months, respectively. Statistical analysis was completed with Fisher's exact and McNemar Chi-square tests at a significance level of 5% (P<0.05).

Conclusion
All restorations were clinically satisfactory and no significant differences were found among them.

Clinical Significance
Posterior resin composite restorations placed under appropriate conditions provide a satisfactory clinical performance.

Breast Adenocarcinoma Mimicking Temporomandibular Disorders: A Case Report
Authors: de Menezes Alynne Vieira , Lima Mariela Perira , de Frota Mendonça João Esmeraldo , Haiter-Neto Francisco , Kurita Lucio Mitsuo 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this report is to present a case of a metastatic lesion in the mandible originating from a breast adenocarcinoma that was initially diagnosed as temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The role of the dental practitioner in the diagnostic phases is also discussed.

Background
It is not uncommon to see a patient who complains of what seems to be a TMD but who in reality suffers from a systematic disease, dental infection, or neoplasia. Although metastases to the head and neck are uncommon, it should always be considered among the differential diagnoses of lesions.

Report
A 42-year-old female presented with pain and swelling in the right temporomandibular joint (TMJ) previously diagnosed as TMD. Further clinical, radiological, and histological examinations coupled with a history of adenocarcinoma of the breast lead to a final diagnosis of a metastatic lesion in the right TMJ region.

Summary
In most patients who present with an oral metastasis the distant primary tumor has already been diagnosed and treated. Occasionally the discovery of an oral metastasis leads to the detection of an occult primary malignancy elsewhere in the body. Thus the dentist should be able to perform an adequate diagnosis and play an important role in the diagnostic phase of care that can lead to a useful palliation and an enhanced quality of the patient's life.

Clinical Significance
In order to avoid the pitfalls so common in evaluating patients with TMJ pain, the clinician must perform a complete and critical review of the medical history along with a comprehensive examination. The challenge is to know and evaluate the differential diagnosis. Failure to do so can result in a misdiagnosis which may lead to unnecessary care, long-term therapy without clinical resolution, or potentionally death.

Glanzmann Thrombasthenia: A Rare Hematological Disorder with Oral Manifestations: A Case Report
Authors: Nandakumar K. , Ranjith Ambili 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this report is to present a case of Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) with oral manifestations requiring periodontal management along with a discussion of the clinical, hematologic, and molecular level features of the disease.

Background
GT is a rare hematological disorder with oral manifestations affecting platelets and clotting. It is characterized by spontaneous bleeding from mucosal tissues and excessive bleeding following skin damage. It belongs to the group of hereditary platelet disorders and is due to a defect in one of two genes, platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa.

Report
A 22-year-old female patient with a history of Type I GT and long-term care using platelet transfusion was referred for management of her gingival bleeding. Dental treatment included scaling, polishing, oral hygiene instructions, along with a prescription for anti-plaque agents. There was pronounced improvement in her periodontal condition after treatment. Reduced gingival bleeding resulted in an increase in her hemoglobin level from a pre-treatment level of 2 gm% to 8 gm% during her last visit. The patient was followed for eight months with no further periodontal complications.

Summary
A pronounced improvement in the periodontal condition of a GT patient occurred following routine scaling and polishing procedures along with proper oral hygiene maintenance instructions. The result was a reduction of the patient's gingivitis and associated spontaneous bleeding and an improvement in her hemoglobin status. GT patients should be managed for their periodontal problems following a hematological consultation. The importance of proper maintenance of oral hygiene as well as regular recall visits should be emphasized.

Implant-supported Crowns for a Shortened Dental Arch: A Case Report
Authors: Abu-Saleh Tareq , Marnewick Johan 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this report is to highlight the efficiency of implant restoration of a shortened dental arch (SDA) for a partially edentulous patient.

Background
The SDA refers to a dentition with loss of posterior teeth. The goal of dental care is the maintenance of a natural dentition with regard to esthetics, speech, chewing, and oral comfort. In order to achieve this goal several issues were examined in a SDA clinical scenario including masticatory ability, occlusal factors, the effect of removable partial dentures, oral comfort, and periodontal support.

Report
A 62-year-old female with a SDA presented for treatment with concern about her compromised periodontal and restorative status. Following professional scaling and root planing and oral hygiene motivation, the bite was opened. Restorative treatment was rendered up to the second premolars with the issues associated with a SDA in mind.

Summary
A body of evidence in literature showed an arch extending to the second premolars is adequate for normal functional demands, oral hygiene, oral comfort, and possibly reduced costs on a dentition subjected to modern diet. The reported clinical outcomes of using implant supported crowns till the second premolar area using the concept of restoring only an existing SDA were highly satisfactory for the well-oriented patient.

Published: July 2019

AbstractAimThe purpose of the present study was to measure the oral malodor of volunteers by means of a subjective organoleptic method and a sulfide monitor as well as to evaluate the diagnostic value of the Halimeter®in the diagnosis of halitosis.Methods and MaterialsSulfide monitoring and organoleptic oral malodor assessment methods were performed on 77 volunteers (51 females, 26 males) selected from academic staff, students, clerks, and patients of the Shaheed Beheshti University of Medical Sciences and Health Services, Dental School. The organoleptic method of assessment and sulphide monitoring were conducted by three calibrated judges. The Kendall's tau-b correlation analysis was used to calculate correlation coefficients between the sulfide monitor and organoleptic scores.ResultsThe Kendall's correlation coefficient between sulfide monitoring and organoleptic scores was 0.493 (p<0.001). Sensitivity and specificity were assessed to be 61.1% and 87.8% respectively. The positive predictive value (PPV) and the negative predictive value (NPV) were 81.5% and 72%, respectively. The intra-class correlation coefficient for the three episodes of monitoring was calculated as 97%.ConclusionUse of a sulfide montoring device in conjunction with the organoleptic method is an effective strategy for diagnosing oral malodor.Clinical RelevanceBecause of its small size and simplicity of handling the Halimeter sulfide monitor is convenient to use. This method of evaluation of patients for oral malodor is capable of differentiating normal patients (such as with Pseudohalitosis and halitophobia) from the others and for halitosis screening along with other techniques such as the organoleptic method. However, when used alone, it may lead to a misdiagnosis of some cases in terms of intensity.CitationBaharvand M, Maleki Z, Mohammadi S, Alavi K, Moghaddam EJ.

Published: July 2019

AimTo evaluate the malodor reduction benefits of a therapeutic night-time oral hygiene regimen that combined antibacterial toothpaste and mouthrinse with an oscillating-rotating rechargeable power toothbrush.Methods and MaterialsAn independent clinical trial was conducted using a randomized, negative-controlled, single blind, two treatment, 4-period crossover design. After completing a 1-week acclimation period, subjects were randomly assigned to a treatment sequence consisting of the following two regimens: (1) a night-time regimen of Crest®Pro-Health®Night dentifrice, Crest®Pro-Health®Night rinse, and Oral-B®Vitality™ Precision Clean™ power toothbrush and (2) a control regimen of Crest®Cavity Protection dentifrice and an ADA manual toothbrush. Each treatment period started with an overnight baseline volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) Halimeter®measurement, followed by twice daily use of the assigned regimen. Post-treatment overnight malodor was assessed at 24 hours. There were 2-day washout periods between treatments. All procedures were repeated with the next assigned regimen, through four crossover periods.ResultsTwenty-five subjects completed the study. Twice daily use of the therapeutic night-time regimen resulted in a significant (p>0.001) 35% reduction of mean VSC levels in the overnight breath compared to the control regimen.ConclusionOne-day use of a night-time regimen consisting of a therapeutic paste, rinse, and an oscillatingrotating rechargeable power toothbrush provided a 35% reduction in overnight breath malodor compared to regular brushing.Clinical SignificanceCombining a proven therapeutic dentifrice, mouthrinse, and advanced design toothbrush in a single regimen is an efficient means of maximizing breath odor reductions.CitationFarrell S, Barker ML, Walanski A, Gerlach RW.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this report is to present a case of multiple calcified tuberculous lymph nodes found in a panoramic radiograph including a discussion of the differential diagnosis of this lesion from other soft tissue calcifications.

Background
Concomitant massive submandibular and cervical tuberculosis lymph node calcifications are relatively uncommon lesions and may be encountered on routine panoramic radiographs.

Report
This report describes the case of an asymptomatic 35-year-old patient whose dental radiographs showed findings which led to bilaterally, irregularly shaped, multiple calcified lymph nodes especially in the left submandibular and cervical area.

Summary
Because treatment is unnecessary for symptom-free calcified lymph nodes and the patient was unwilling to any further examination done, surgical removal of the calcified lymph nodes was not done.

The Effects of Custom Tray Material on the Accuracy of Master Casts
Authors: Mosharraf Ramin , Shafa Sina , Zaree Zeinab 
Published: July 2019

Aim
In addition to the impression material, the type of impression tray influences the accurate dimensional transfer of the size and position of the teeth to the master cast. The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of master casts produced from an alginate impression material using a visible-light-curing resin and autopolymerizing polymethyl methacrylate resin custom tray materials.

Methods and Materials
Two types of custom trays were fabricated from a stainless steel master model with three index studs. Twenty-two irreversible hydrocolloid impressions were made of the master model and then poured with a Type III dental stone. The distances between the reproduced index studs were measured to +/- 0.01 mm with a digital caliper. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and T-test were used for data analysis.

Results
There were no significant differences between the two tray materials for any of the three distances. There were no statistical differences between the master model and the casts made from the two tray materials in the length dimension, but there were significant differences in the vertical dimension. In terms of the width dimension there was a significant difference only between the cold curing group and the master model.

Conclusion
Within the limitations of this study, the dimensions of stone casts poured from an impression made using a light-cured tray did not differ significantly from those created from impressions made using autopolymerizing acrylic trays. However, working dies from the light-curing tray impressions were more accurate buccolingually than those from the autopolymerizing acrylic trays.

Clinical Significance
The accuracy of master cast reproduction using visible-light-curing resin or an autopolymerizing polymethyl methacrylate resin custom tray material is acceptable. Although autopolymerizing resin materials require less equipment and are relatively more inexpensive, light-cure tray materials may be the material of choice for custom tray fabrication due to greater accuracy in the buccolingual dimension.

Temporomandibular Joint Internal Derangement: Association with Headache, Joint Effusion, Bruxism, and Joint Pain
Authors: Costa André L.F. , D'Abreu Anelyssa , Cendes Fernando 
Published: July 2019

Aim
The aim of the present study was to assess the correlation of temporomandibular joint internal derangement (TMJ ID) in patients with the presence of headache, bruxism, and joint pain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods and Materials
This study evaluated 42 joints in 42 patients; 21 patients diagnosed with unilateral TMJ ID and a history of headaches and 21 patients diagnosed with unilateral TMD ID without a history of headaches. Signs of headache, bruxism, and joint pain were diagnosed clinically and were also obtained from the patient's history. Sixteen joints in 16 patients without signs or symptoms of TMD or headache were included as a control group. All patients underwent bilateral MRI of the TMJ to evaluate the disc position and the presence of joint effusion. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and Fischer's exact tests.

Results
Bruxing behavior was most frequently reported by patients with headaches (p<0.0125). Eightyfive percent of subjects with headaches also reported joint pain. A significant association was found between headache and TMJ effusion (p<0.0125). Patients with more severe disc displacement also had a higher frequency of effusion (p=0.001).

Conclusion
The results suggest joint effusion may have a role in the pathogenesis of headache in TMJ ID.

Clinical Significance
Temporomandibular joint effusion on MRI may serve as a biological marker of headache associated with TMD and could be helpful for diagnostic classification and treatment follow up.

Fracture Resistance of Teeth Restored with Different Post Systems Using New-generation Adhesives
Authors: Görgül Güliz , Kivanç Bagdagül Helvacioglu 
Published: July 2019

Aim
The aim of this study was to investigate the fracture strength of three post systems cemented with a dual cure composite resin luting cement by using different adhesive systems.

Methods and Materials
In this study 63 extracted anterior teeth with single roots were endodontically prepared and filled. Teeth were randomly assigned to one of three post systems placed into the prepared canals: Group I - titanium posts (n=21) (Filpost); Group II - glass fiber posts (n=21) (Mirafit White); and Group III zirconia posts (n=21) (CosmoPost). Each group was again randomly divided into three subgroups according to the bonding materials used [Single Bond (n=7), Clearfil SE Bond (n=7), and Prompt L Pop (n=7)]. A dual cured resin cement (Rely X ARC) was used for bonding the posts into the root canals. Standard cores were made by a composite resin (Clearfil Photocore) using core build-ups. The samples were tested in the compression test machine for 1 mm/min and fracture resistance of the teeth were recorded. The data was analyzed by using twoway analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's New Multiple Range Tests. A significance level of p<.05 was used for all comparisons.

Results
There was a significant difference in fracture resistance between the post systems (p<0.05) and the interaction of adhesive resins and post systems (p<0.05). Mirafit White was more resistant to fracture than other groups; Filpost showed the least resistance to fracture. CosmoPost post system bonded with Single Bond recorded the lowest fracture resistance (p<0.05).

Conclusion
Endodontically treated anterior teeth restored with glass fiber posts exhibited higher failure loads than teeth restored with zirconia and titanium posts. Self-etching adhesives are better alternatives to etch-andrinse adhesive systems for luting post systems.

Clinical Significance
Under the condition of this study, glass fiber posts are preferable to restore endodontically treated anterior teeth.
