Authors: Mehta Abhishek , Sequeira Peter Simon , Sahoo Ramesh Chandra 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The present study was conducted with the objective of assessing the dental caries status of asthmatic patients in the age group of 11-25 years and to examine the possible association of these conditions to various aspects of bronchial asthma and its management.

Methods and Materials
The present study was conducted on 80 asthmatic patients receiving treatment at the KMC Hospital, Mangalore, India. They were examined for their caries status, and the scores were compared with an age, sex, and socioeconomic status matched group of 80 non-asthmatic patients as controls. The mean age of asthmatics was 17.4 (±4.3) years and mean duration of asthma was 17.69 (±7.66) months.

Results
The results showed a significantly higher prevalence of caries among asthmatic patients as compared to the matched control group as well as a positive correlation between the duration of asthma and the caries indices.

Conclusion
There is a need to create awareness among dental practitioners regarding the increased caries risk of asthmatic patients.

Clinical Significance
Special preventive and educational measures will be required to prevent caries and other oral diseases in asthmatic patients.

Effect of Different Surface Treatments on the Shear and Flexural Re-bond Strengths of a Micro-hybrid Composite
Authors: Yaman Peter , Vivas Jose , Taylor George 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
This study compared the shear bond strength (SBS) and flexural strength (FS) of repaired interfaces using three techniques of surface preparation and repair of a micro-hybrid composite.

Methods and Materials
Composite specimens for SBS tests (n=36: diameter=8 mm, thickness=3 mm) for repair were shaped in a metal mold, visible-light cured, and embedded in dental stone. Composite specimens for FS tests (n=36: 2 mm × 2 mm × 12.5 mm) for repair were shaped in a silicone mold. Three different methods of surface preparation were evaluated: Group A (control) specimens were treated by etching with 35% phosphoric acid; Group B specimens were airabraded with 50 μm aluminum oxide at 100 psi; and Group C specimens received two parallel, 1 mm-deep grooves using a #¼.-round bur before being treated by etching with 35% phosphoric acid. After surface treatment, a bonding agent was placed on each specimen, which was then light cured. Repairs were accomplished by adding more composite to the SBS or FS specimens. Specimens were thermocycled 500 times between 5°C and 55°C with 30-second dwell times. All specimens were tested by loading to failure at a rate of 0.5 mm/min using an Instron Universal Testing Machine.

Results
Mean SBSs in MPa were: Group A=24.5 +4.4, Group B=28.5 +4.3, and Group C=27.0 +2.8. Mean FSs (MPa) were: Group A=60.5 +9.9, Group B=73.9 +13.2 and Group C=81.3 +14.3. For the FS tests, Group B and C were significantly different than Group A, but Group C was not significantly different than group B. For the SBS test, Group B was significantly different than Group A, but Group C was not significantly different.

Conclusion
Acid-etching alone was not very effective in producing well-bonded composite repairs (only 55% of the FS of normal microhybrid composite). Mechanical retention was more effective (SBS, FS) than acid-etching and as effective (SBS) or more effective (FS) than air-abrasion (p<0.05) for repaired composite specimens.

Clinical Significance
Either mechanical retention or air abrasion is recommended prior to repairing an existing composite restoration to achieve the highest bond strength.

Authors: Langlais Robert P. , Jainkittivong Aree , Swasdison Somporn , Thangpisityotin Malee 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
To conduct a clinicopathological review of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and to analyze it with respect to gender, age at diagnosis, clinical presentation, lesion location, and histological grading.

Methods and Materials
Information on the clinicopathological characteristics of SCC was obtained from pathology reports of 342 cases.

Results
The male to female ratio was 1:1 and the incidence increased with age. Among the patients 4.7% were younger than 40 years and males were predominant in this subgroup. The alveolar ridge and gingiva were the most commonly affected sites (50%). The majority of the SCC cases presented as ulcers or masses. Swelling and/or pain were the first signs and/ or symptoms in most patients (52.6%). The age at diagnosis in relation to the site of occurrence varied. Conventional SCC was the most common subtype (88%). Well-differentiated SCC was the most common histological grading (78.6%).

Conclusion
In the present study, the incidence of SCC was age-related and showed equal gender distribution.

Clinical Significance
Routine examination of the oral cavity by dental practitioners and other health care providers aids in the early detection of premalignant and malignant oral disease. Dentists can play a significant role in disseminating information regarding oral cancer.

The Prevalence of Occlusal Disharmony and Its Associated Causes in Complete Dentures
Authors: Atashrazm Parsa , Dashti Mohammad Hosein 
Published: July 2019

AbstractAimOcclusal disharmony is frequently observed among edentulous patients. With the side effects of occlusal disharmony in mind, the goal of this research was to investigate the prevalence of occlusal disharmony in inserted complete dentures and its associated causes.Methods and MaterialsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 107 selected patients. Factors such as age, gender, ridge relationship on the articulator, occlusal scheme, and the performance of a clinical remount from patients’ treatment records were investigated. The presence and/or status of any occlusal disharmony was determined by a calibrated prosthodontist extraorally and qualitatively. Occlusal disharmony is defined as the absence of simultaneous bilateral contacts between the opposing posterior teeth in centric relation. The prevalence of occlusal disharmony was determined and the roles of the aforementioned factors were studied and analyzed using a Chisquare analysis. The results were considered significant at p<0.05.ResultsOut of 107 patients, 31 patients (28.8%) showed occlusal disharmony. No statistically significant relationship was found between occlusal disharmony and age, gender, ridge relationships, or occlusal scheme (p<0.5). Twenty-five (81%) out of 31 complete dentures with occlusal disharmony were not clinically remounted. There was a highly significant relationship between the absence of clinical remounting and occlusal disharmony (p<0.001).ConclusionWithin the limits of this study, the prevalence of occlusal disharmony was noticeable. A randomized clinical trial is strongly recommended to investigate factors related to the incidence of occlusal disharmony.Clinical SignificanceIt is important to refine the occlusion of a complete denture after laboratory processing of the denture before it is delivered to the patient.CitationAtashrazm P, Dashti MH.

Microscope-Enhanced Periodontal Therapy: A Review and Report of Four Cases
Authors: Padhye Ashvini , Hegde Rashmi , Sumanth S 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this report is to review the status of the use of surgical microscopes and microsurgery and their clinical application in the field of periodontics.

Background
The use of magnification systems and periodontal microsurgery are part of a broad movement in dentistry toward the use of minimally invasive procedures to replace the need for more extensive surgical procedures. While magnification systems are widely used in endodontics, their application in periodontics is still in its nascent phase. However, clinicians have reported that use of magnification facilitates the use of minimal invasive periodontal surgery.

Technique
The surgical microscope is an invaluable aid for periodontists in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. Magnified vision used in conjunction with microsurgical instruments and techniques can lead to a higher quality of care and an improved surgical outcome.

Summary
Surgical operating microscopes have shown promising results in the hands of periodontists who are properly trained in their use. Despite the apparent advantages, there is still a lack of “high level of evidence” in the form of controlled clinical trials to estimate the magnitude of the real benefits of the microsurgical approach over the conventional approach.

Clinical Significance
Even though all the procedures shown in this review can be performed using normal vision, performing these procedures using a surgical microscope and microsurgical instruments offers definite advantages in terms of improved visual acuity, superior approximation of wounds, rapid wound healing, decreased post-operative morbidity, and increased acceptance by the patients.

Effect of the Quality of Removable Prostheses on Patient Satisfaction
Authors: Akeel Riyadh F. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The objective of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction with removable prostheses and its relationship with denture quality.

Methods and Materials
Sixty-seven patients who received 119 new removable prostheses over a period of one year at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University, were recalled for an interview with regard to their satisfaction with their dentures and a clinical examination. Prosthetic quality was determined using the California Dental Association criteria.

Results
Results showed 75% and 66% of upper and lower dentures, respectively, were reported by patients as satisfactory. Of all the upper prostheses rated as being of acceptable quality, 94% were also reported by patients as satisfactory, but of those of unacceptable quality, only 52% were reported by patients as unsatisfactory. The corresponding figures for lower dentures were 91% and 71%, respectively. No significant associations were found between patient satisfaction and age, or denture experience.

Conclusions
Although acceptable quality of removable prostheses usually resulted in patient satisfaction, the finding that some patients were satisfied with their prostheses despite unacceptable quality suggests other factors besides quality affect outcomes.

Clinical Significance
Patient satisfaction with removable dentures cannot be fully predicted from only the quality standards of those dentures.

Published: July 2019

AbstractAimTo measure the desensitizing benefits of an experimental stannous-containing sodium fluoride dentifrice versus a regular sodium fluoride negative control.Methods and MaterialsThis study was a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, fourweek clinical trial. Subjects reporting dentinal hypersensitivity were enrolled and randomized to the experimental dentifrice or the control dentifrice to use twice daily for four weeks. Efficacy assessments (Air Blast) were performed at baseline and weeks two and four. Separate analyses were performed for the two most sensitive teeth at baseline and for all 12 teeth. Results for weeks two and four combined also were analyzed.ResultsThirty-one subjects were included in the analyses. For the two most sensitive teeth, the experimental dentifrice showed statistically significantly less sensitivity (p<0.05) versus the control at weeks two and four and for weeks two and four combined. The sensitivity reduction ranged from 24.9% to 28.4% over the control. For all 12 teeth, the experimental group had statistically significantly (p<0.03) lower sensitivity scores versus the control group at week two and weeks two and four combined.ConclusionThe experimental dentifrice demonstrated significant desensitizing advantages versus the control.Clinical SignificanceThis stannouscontaining sodium fluoride dentifrice provides an effective treatment for patients with dentinal hypersensitivity, significantly reducing sensitivity versus a negative control in this four-week trial.CitationDay TN, Einwag J, Hermann JS, He T, Anastasia MK, Barker M, Zhang Y.

Limited Benefit of Copaifera Oil on Gingivitis Progression in Humans
Authors: da Silva Pereira Sérgio Luís , Barros Cristiane Simões , Salgado Thiago Daher Yunes , Filho Vicente Paulo Pereira , Costa Flávio Nogueira 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this in vivo study was to evaluate the antiplaque and antigingivitis effect of Copaifera sp (Cp).

Methods and Materials
Twenty-three subjects participated in a randomized controlled clinical trial using a 21-day, partial-mouth experimental model of gingivitis. A custom tooth shield was fabricated for each subject to prevent the brushing of the four experimental posterior teeth in the lower-left quadrant. The subjects were randomly assigned to either the control group (using a placebo gel) or the test group (using the test gel containing 10% Cp).

Results
The clinical results showed statistically significant differences for plaque (PLI), bleeding (BI), and gingival (GI) indexes at days 0 and 21 in both groups (p<0.05). However, on day 21 there was no statistically significant difference between groups for all indexes (p>0.05).

Conclusions
The test gel containing 10% Cp did not prevent plaque formation and development of gingivitis.

Clinical Significance
Several medicinal herbs are used empirically by persons in the treatment and prevention of oral conditions. Research in this area must be encouraged to determine which herbal agents would be a useful addition to the current range of chemotherapeutic periodontal treatment options.

Published: July 2019

AbstractAimTo compare digital panoramic images acquired for the presurgical assessment of third molars captured with a storage phosphorbased system with conventional film panoramic radiographs.Methods and MaterialsA total of 51 pairs of digital and conventional panoramic images, made simultaneously, were included in this study. The images were evaluated for diagnostic quality prior to third molar surgery by two experienced oral surgeons and rated with a four-point grading scale.ResultsDespite the fact that conventional panoramic images were rated higher than the digital images, the difference was not statistically significant.ConclusionsConventional and digital panoramic images were found to be of comparable image quality with regard to their diagnostic contribution to third molar surgery.Clinical SignificanceThis study is contributory to understanding differences in image quality between digital and conventional panoramic radiography for certain diagnostic tasks. The lack of significant differences in image quality may be an endorsement for digital panoramic radiography.CitationParissis N, Angelopoulos C, Mantegari S, Karamanis S, Masood F, Tsirlis A.

Hereditary Opalescent Dentin: A Report of Two Cases
Authors: Gupta Siddharth , Bhowate Rahul R. , Bhati Ashok 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this case report is to present the clinical and radiographic findings of hereditary opalescent dentin to facilitate an early diagnosis.

Background
Hereditary opalescent dentin (or dentinogenesis imperfecta) may manifest itself in three variations: i.e., Shields type I, Shields type II, and Shields type III. Dentinogenesis imperfecta occurs as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity, either in presence with osteogenesis imperfecta or as a separate clinical entity in persons who have none of the features of osteogenesis imperfecta.

Case Descriptions
A seven-year old boy and his mother were both diagnosed with hereditary opalescent dentin. A review of the family dental history revealed that this condition affected not only the child's mother but his maternal grandfather and great grandfather. Both the son and the mother exhibited the same clinical and radiologic features as those reported previously with no evidence of osteogenesis imperfecta.

Summary
Being an autosomal disease, hereditary opalescent dentin runs in the family and can affect both the deciduous and permanent dentitions as a dominant trait.

Clinical Significance
Once a patient is diagnosed with hereditary opalescent dentin, other family members should be evaluated given the condition is hereditary.

The Pouch and Tunnel Technique for the Management of Adjacent Gingival Recession Defects: Surgical Correction and One-Year Follow-Up
Authors: Deo Vikas , Bhati Ashok , Kurien Tony 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this report is to present a minimally invasive periodontal plastic surgical method for the treatment of gingival augmentation coronal to area of recession on the facial aspect of the mandibular central incisors.

Background
Gingival recession is a relatively common condition patients may discuss with their general dental practitioner. Several improvements in the available corrective surgical techniques have evolved, especially in flap design of periodontal cosmetic surgeries, which can produce a favorable final treatment outcome.

Case Description
A 21-year-old male patient diagnosed with Miller class II marginal tissue recession on the facial surface of the mandibular right and left central incisors was treated with a subepithelial connective tissue autograft underneath a supraperiosteal pouch and tunnel recipient site for multiple areas of gingival recession This flap design allowed intimate contact of donor tissue to the recipient site. One-year follow-up examination of the surgical site revealed excellent and stable root surface coverage.

Summary
The use of a technique that involves preservation of papilla height and ensures maximum blood supply to the graft helps to attain excellent esthetic and functional long-term results.

Clinical Significance
Given the increasing patient concerns about dental esthetics, the surgical treatment modality presented can be beneficial in efforts to meet the esthetic and functional demands of patients, thereby contributing positively to treatment acceptance and the overall outcome.
