Clinical Inertia in Dentistry: A Review of the Phenomenon
Authors: Rindal D. Brad , Rush William A. , Boyle Raymond G. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractAimDentistry has been slow to adopt innovations in dental practice even when they are recommended by national organizations and supported by evidence-based guidelines. The objective of this review is to describe clinical inertia, a concept described frequently in the medical literature, and to use findings from tobacco cessation and dental sealant studies as evidence of its existence.Methods and MaterialsA review of the literature published during the past 30 years was conducted to determine the state of affairs of two very different areas of dental practice, tobacco cessation intervention and application of sealants, to demonstrate the concept of clinical inertia in dental practice. Factors such as over estimating services provided, unfounded reasons not to act, lack of adequate training, and competing demands that account for the inertia were examined.DiscussionClinical inertia is a complex concept that needs more attention in dentistry. A variety of strategies will be required to overcome it in order to provide the best care for the public.ConclusionClinical inertia is a useful paradigm for explaining delays in the incorporation of new knowledge into clinical practice. It offers a model against which the broader dental community can develop and test strategies to reduce the delays in translating best practices into daily practices.Clinical SignificanceThe path to providing state-of-the-art care for the public is to engage in the discovery, dissemination, and acquisition of new knowledge then transform it into evidence-based best practices to be used in daily clinical practice.CitationRindal DB, Rush WA, Boyle RG.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the fracture resistance of endodontically-treated anterior teeth with their roots reinforced using three different restorative methods.

Methods and Materials
Forty sound maxillary human central incisors were randomly assigned to four groups (n=10). The crowns of the teeth were removed at a level 2 mm incisal to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). After root canal therapy, flared canals were simulated in three groups. In the first, second, and third groups the flared canals were reinforced with resin composite (RCO) (Clearfil DC Core Automix), two Reforpins (REF), and a resin cement (RCE) (Panavia F 2.0), respectively. In the fourth (DEN) group flared canals were not created. The same size fiber reinforced composite (FRC) posts were cemented with resin cement (Panavia F 2.0) in all groups. After post cementation and restoration of the teeth crown with a core build-up composite (Clearfil Photo Core), the roots of the teeth were embedded in acrylic resin blocks up to 1 mm below the CEJ. The samples were loaded in an Instron testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min at a 45° angle to the long axis of the tooth on the palatal surfaces until failure occurred. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Chi-square tests (p=0.05).

Results
Significant differences were found between fracture resistance in all of the groups (P<0.05) with the exception being among the RCO and REF groups. The least mean value 230 (130) N and the highest mean value 830 (220) N were shown in the fracture resistance of the RCE and DEN groups, respectively.

Conclusion
Reforpin can be used as an alternative to resin composite for internal reinforcement of weakened roots according to the results of this study. For reinforcement of flared canals, fiber posts along with Reforpin or resin composite proved to have higher fracture resistance than resin cement. Non flared canals had the highest fracture resistance.

Instability of Self-esteem and Affective Lability as Determinants of Self-reported Oral Health Status and Oral Health-related Behaviors
Authors: Dumitrescu Alexandrina L. , Dogaru Beatrice C. , Dogaru Cristian D. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractAimThe aim of the study was to examine the impact of the instability of self-esteem and affective lability on students’ self-rated oral health and oral health-related behaviors.Methods and MaterialThe present study sample consisted of 178 first year medical students. A questionnaire was used to collect information about socio-demographic factors, behavioral factors, self-reported oral health status, the instability of self-esteem, and affective lability.ResultsSignificant differences were found on the instability of self-esteem and affective lability on the following variables: gender, smoking, anxiety, depression, stress in everyday life, number of extracted teeth, and satisfaction with appearance of one's own teeth (Ps<0.05). The level of instability of self-esteem had a consistent association with the self-reported oral health status and satisfaction with appearance of teeth. The affective lability total score was a determinant of the number of extracted teeth, last toothache, self-rated gingival status, while anger was correlated with the number of current non-treated caries, extracted teeth, toothbrushing, and flossing frequency.ConclusionsThe results indicate there is an increased risk for impaired dental health among subjects with instable self-esteem symptoms or symptoms of anger.CitationDumitrescu AL, Dogaru CB, Dogaru CD.

Osteonecrosis of the Jaws Secondary to Bisphosphonate Therapy: A Case Series
Authors: Kumar Satish K. S. , Meru Michael C. , Sedghizadeh Parish P. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The objective of this report is to present the clinical experiences of several patients affected with osteonecrosis (ONJ) secondary to bisphosphonate (BP) therapy and to provide a discussion of the specific BPs implicated in this condition.

Background
ONJ secondary to BP therapy is becoming an increasingly reported complication following dental therapy. This is particularly true of surgical dental procedures such as extractions. BPs are a class of pharmaceuticals used in the treatment of numerous disorders affecting bone, including osteoporosis, cancer metastases to bone, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and multiple myeloma. Although ONJ is a more recently described phenomenon, it is an emerging problem that may be associated with significant morbidity such as oral dysfunction, impaired eating ability, pain, and compromised esthetics resulting in a poor quality of life in affected patients.

Case Report
This is a description of 13 patients affected with ONJ secondary to BP therapy managed at the Orofacial Pain & Oral Medicine Center, Special Patients Clinic, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic at the University of Southern California, School of Dentistry between October 2005 and April 2007, with a discussion of the specific BPs implicated in this condition, the clinical presentation, management, and follow-up.

Summary
Thorough reporting of every case of ONJ is important to help advance the understanding of this poorly understood condition. The authors’ approach to care represents a more conservative mode to management than previously described by many investigators.

Re-attachment of Anterior Tooth Fragment using a Self-etching Adhesive: A Case Report
Authors: Ozel Emre , Cildir Alper , Ozel Yonca 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The purpose of this case report is to describe the re-attachment of an anterior tooth fragment using a selfetching adhesive.

Background
Fracture of anterior teeth by trauma is a common problem in children and teenagers due to their active lifestyle. Restoration of these teeth often presents a challenge because of the large pulp in young teeth and open apical foramen depending on the age of the child. New dental adhesive materials offer an alternative solution for the treatment of some anterior tooth fractures.

Report
A 17-year-old female patient presented for treatment of a fractured maxillary left central incisor. The clinical examination revealed the exposure of dentin, but there was no exposure of the pulp. The patient saved the tooth fragment making it available for re-attachment to the remaining tooth structure. Under local anesthesia and rubber dam isolation the tooth fragment was re-attached using a self-etching adhesive and a microhybrid composite.

Summary
The re-attached tooth fragment was assessed clinically, radiographically, and using photographs at one, six, 12, 24, and 36 month intervals. The tooth remained vital, and there was no change in the color of the tooth at the three-year recall.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The purpose of this report is to present the clinical and histological features of a canalicular adenoma (CA) occurring in the upper lip and vestibular fornix of a 62-year-old woman.

Background
CA is an uncommon benign salivary gland tumor occurring almost exclusively in the intraoral glands. This tumor has often been referred to as a variant of the basal cell adenoma. However, the World Health Organization's latest histological classification of salivary gland tumors recognizes it as a separate entity under the broader heading of monomorphic adenoma, which is not related to any of the subtypes of basal cell adenomas.

Case Report
A 62-year-old woman with a chief complaint of an extraoral swelling in the upper lip. The evolution of the lesion was not known by the patient who recognized it when she touched her upper lip and found “an acne” on it. The patient wore complete dentures since age 17 and was not aware of any pain or tenderness in the area. Extra and intraoral examination revealed a mobile nodular lesion located in the right aspect of the upper lip near the nose and in the vestibular fornix between the lateral incisor and canine. Microscopic examination confirmed the final diagnosis of CA. The patient is currently free of disease 54 months after surgical excision of the tumor.

Summary
Local excision of symptomatic nodules seems to be sufficient to manage patients with multifocal CA.10 But, unlike other benign tumors, CA may need a longer follow-up due to its tendency towards multifocal occurrence and late recurrence.3,7

Effect of Cavosurface Margin Configuration of Class V Cavity Preparations on Microleakage of Composite Resin Restorations
Authors: Ghavamnasiri Marjaneh , Bagheri Mahshid 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this study was to compare the marginal leakage of hybrid and microfilled composite resin in Class V restorations with and without an enamel bevel.

Methods and Materials
Fifty-six cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 28 extracted human molars using a round bur with the dimensions of 3×2×1.5 mm. The specimens were divided into two groups of 28 based on the cavosurface margin configuration (beveled and non- beveled). Each group was then divided into two subgroups (n=14) based on the type of composite resin (microfilled and hybrid) used for restoration. After completing restorative procedure, specimens were thermocycled and immersed in 0.5% basic fuchsine. Samples were embedded in polyester and then sectioned both mesiodistally and buccolingually. Dye penetration was observed with a stereomicroscope at 25x magnification. Statistical nonparametric analysis Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were performed to compare the data (a=0.05).

Results
There was no statistically significant difference between the two types of composites and two types of enamel margins with respect to microleakage (P>5%). The degree of microleakage at the gingival margin located in dentin of each group was more than that of the enamel margin (P<5%).

Conclusion
An enamel bevel in a Class V cavity preparation had no effect on the reduction of marginal leakage using either hybrid or microfilled composite resin.

Published: July 2019

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the design of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) on some mechanical properties of a dental implant.Methods and MaterialsFRC implants were fabricated using different polymerization conditions and designs of the glass-fiber structure. Specimens were tested with a cantilever bending test and a torsional test. The degree of monomer conversion (DC%) was measured using a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).ResultsStatistical analysis showed significant differences between groups revealing mean fracture load values from 437 N to 1461 N. The mean torsional force in fracture varied from 0.01 to 1.66 Nm. The DC% varied from 50% to 90%.ConclusionThis study suggests by modifying the polymerization conditions and fiber orientation of FRC implants, the biomechanical properties of an FRC can be tailored to the needs of dental implants.CitationBallo AM, Lassila LV, Närhi TO, Vallittu PK.In vitroMechanical Testing of Glass Fiber-reinforced Composite Used as Dental Implants.

SEM Analysis of the in situ Early Bacterial Colonization on Two Novel Feldspathic Ceramics Submitted to Different Types of Glazing
Authors: Bottino Marco Antonio , Valandro Luiz Felipe , Pereira Sarina Maciel Braga , Kantorski Karla Zanini , Brentel Aline Scalone 
Published: July 2019

Aim
The aim of this study was to evaluate in situ, the early bacterial colonization on feldspar-ceramics submitted to different glazing.

Methods and Materials
Fourteen standardized disc specimens (diameter: 5 mm, thickness: 1.5 mm) of each of two micro-particulate feldspathic ceramics (VM7 and VM13, Vita) were produced according to manufacturers’ specifications for a total of 28 specimens (24 for the analysis of biofilm and 4 for topographic analysis analyzing the ceramic surfaces). Specimens from each type of ceramic were submitted to two different glazing methods composing four groups: VM7 glazed using glazing liquid Vita Akzent® 25 (G1) and glaze firing (G2), VM13 glazed using glazing liquid (G3) and glaze firing (G4). Six individuals (n=6) wore oral appliances with four ceramic specimens, fixed on the buccal face of the appliances. After 8 hours, each sample was evaluated for the presence (1) or absence (0) of bacterial colonization under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) on five randomly selected fields. The value for each sample was cumulative of the results observed in the fields. One sample from each group was evaluated under a SEM to verify the topographic pattern.

Results
There was no difference with regard to bacterial colonization between the feldspar-ceramics and between the glazing types (Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test).

Conclusion
Feldspar-ceramics submitted to firing or glaze firing with Vita Akzent® 25 present a similar condition for in situ bacterial colonization. The similar topographic pattern of the ceramic surfaces seems to have influenced the bacterial colonization.

Influence of Irradiance on the Push-out Bond Strength of Composite Restorations Photoactivated by LED
Authors: Sinhoreti Mário Alexandre Coelho , Consani Simonides , Correr-Sobrinho Lourenço , Segreto Dario , Brandt William Cunha 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this study was to compare the bond strength of resin composites to dental structure photoactivated with a light emitting diode (LED) curing unit.

Methods and Materials
One hundred bovine incisors were selected and a conical cavity was prepared in the facial surface of each tooth. Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray CO., LTD. Osaka, Japan) adhesive system was applied, and the cavities were filled with a single increment of Filtek™ Z250 (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) or Esthet-X (Dentsply-Caulk – Mildford, DE, USA). The specimens were assigned to ten groups (n=10) according to the irradiance used: 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 mW/cm2. Photoactivation was accomplished using an Ultrablue IS LED (DMC Equipamentos LTDA, São Carlos, SP, Brazil). The radiant exposure time was kept constant. A push-out test was conducted in a universal testing machine. Bond strength values were submitted to a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a Tukey's test at the 5% significance level.

Results
The bond strength of the Z250 was higher than the Eshet-X (p<0.05). However, the modulation of irradiance adjusted to the same radiant exposure had no influence on Z250. The bond strength using an irradiance of 100mW/cm2 was higher than the other levels for Esthet-X. When composites were compared, no significant differences were detected between them for activation with irradiances of 100 and 200 mW/cm2.

Conclusion
The modulation of the luminous energy emitted by LED was almost unable to provide significant differences among the groups for both composites, except for a lower irradiance of Esthet-X.

Treatment of Painful Post-traumatic Peripheral Neuropathy with Capsaicin in an Edentulous Patient with Extreme Resorption in the Mental Region: A Case Report
Authors: Pastre Therezinha , Faot Fernanda , Wastphalen Fernando H. , da Rosa Rosena Santos 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this report is to present a clinical case of extensive alveolar resorption in the mental region of the mandible of a complete denture wearer for which capsaicin was used for alleviation and remission of posttraumatic painful peripheral neuropathy.

Background
Resorption of the residual ridge occurs in a chronic and progressive manner, altering the configuration of the ridge and the mucosa covering it and subsequently compromising the stability of the complete denture prosthesis. Individual variability associated with such factors as gender, age, edentulous period, nutrition, excessive load and compression on the ridge, parafunctional habits, occlusal instability, and maladaptation of the prosthesis may have a role in the rate and manner of bone loss.

Report
A 62-year-old woman, edentulous at the age of 30, presented with complaints of pain and spontaneous “electrical shocks” in the mucosa under her mandibular complete denture. The pain increased while chewing approximately two years ago due to the pressure of this denture on her supporting tissues. The patient indicated the level of pain corresponded to a score of ten out of ten on the Visual Analogical Scale (VAS). Treatment included denture replacement and topical application of capsaicin gel using a custom tray technique.

Summary
The review of the literature and the results obtained from the management of this case have served to emphasize how much neuropathic pain research has demonstrated the complexity of its neurophysiologic mechanism due to the lack of association with any somatic manifestation.
During the fabrication of a new lower denture the topical application of capsaicin was shown to be effective in the relief and remission of the painful symptoms of the neuropathy as of this writing.

AbstractAimThis case report aims at describing an infection of the tongue as a manifestation of aTrichosporon asahiiinfection, its association with bronchial asthma and steroid administration, and to present a review of the literature pertaining to its antifungal susceptibility profile.BackgroundTrichosporon asahiihas been reported to be associated with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from superficial infection to severe disseminated diseases, particularly in immunocompromised patients.Case ReportA 36-year-old male asthmatic patient with recurrent glossitis presented with a chief complaint of burning sensation and two red areas on the dorsum of the tongue of three months duration. The glossitis was associated withTrichosporon asahii, which had a reduced susceptibility to some azole antifungal agents.SummaryTrichosporon asahiiis an emerging fungal pathogen which may cause a wide range of clinical manifestations. More reports on its various clinical presentations in the oral environment need to be made available in the literature. To date there is a paucity of data on its prevalence, pathogenesis, and antifungal resistance mechanism.CitationShareef BT, Harun A, Roziawati Y, Shaiful Bahari I, Deris ZZ, Ravichandran M.
