Eating Disorders Part I: Psychiatric Diagnosis and Dental Implications
Authors: Aranha Ana Cecília Corrêa , de Paula Eduardo Carlos , Cordás Táki Athanassios 
Published: July 2019

AimThe aim of this article is to present a review of the literature on eating disorders and related oral implications in order to provide oral healthcare professionals and psychiatrists with information that will enable them to recognize and diagnose these disorders and render appropriate treatment.Methods and MaterialsA comprehensive review of the literature was conducted with special emphasis on the oral implications of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.ResultsCurrently, available knowledge that correlates eating disorders with dental implications is supported by data derived from well-conducted psychiatric and psychological literature. However, little is known about the aspects of oral medicine concerned with the subject. Dental erosion, xerostomia, enlargement of the parotid gland, and other dental implications might be present in individuals with eating disorders.ConclusionsEating disorders are a serious concern with regard to the oral health of patients. They represent a clinical challenge to dental professionals because of their unique psychological, medical, nutritional, and dental patterns as well as their unique characteristics. However, there is a general lack of awareness of the fundamental importance of the dentist's role in the multidisciplinary treatment of affected patients.Clinical SignificanceThe failure of oral healthcare professionals to recognize dental characteristics of eating disorders may lead to serious systemic problems in addition to progressive and irreversible damage to the hard tissues. Considering the increasing incidence and prevalence rates of eating disorders the participation of oral healthcare professionals in a multidisciplinary team to provide care for affected patients rises to greater importance.CitationAranha ACC, Eduardo CP, Cordás TA.

Case Report: Management of an Impacted Maxillary Canine in Association with a Deviated Palatal Premolar Root
Authors: Turk Tamer , Elekdag-Turk Selma 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The purpose of this case report is to present the management of an impacted maxillary canine adjacent to a deviated palatal first premolar root.

Background
Maxillary canine impactions are of multifactorial etiology. The incidence of maxillary canine impaction ranges from 1% to 3%. One of the reasons for canine impaction might be a deviated palatal premolar root. To date, a total of six cases have been described where impacted maxillary canines were found in close proximity to a deviated palatal first premolar root.

Report
A male patient, aged 17 years 3 months, with a Class I molar relationship was referred for the continuation of orthodontic therapy. Leveling was completed in the lower and upper arches. Although sufficient space was available in the upper arch the left canine had not erupted. Radiographic examination disclosed a deviated palatal root of the first premolar in the canine eruption path.

Summary
A multidisciplinary treatment approach for the maxillary impacted canine adjacent to a deviated palatal premolar root is described. The premolar was endodontically treated and the deviated root surgically resected. The impacted canine was then orthodontically erupted into position.

Clinical Significance
A deviated maxillary premolar root may cause canine impaction. A multidisciplinary approach facilitates successful treatment results in such cases.

Authors: Almas Khalid , Tashkandi Esam , Aramouni Philippe , Zebouni Elie , Dib Salam 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance and failure location of single-tooth, implant-supported, all-ceramic restorations on different implant abutments subjected to a maximum load.

Methods and Materials
Forty Certain 3i implants and 20 ITI Straumann implants were used in this study in combination with 20 UCLA abutments, 20 ZiReal abutments, and 20 synOcta Ceramic Blanks to form three groups according to abutment type. All 60 abutments were prepared with standard measurements: a 1.0 mm deep chamfer, 2.0 mm of incisal reduction, and a total height of 7 mm. Sixty IPS Empress 2 full ceramic crowns were fabricated and cemented on each abutment with a resin cement. Static loading was simulated under maximum loading and fracture locations were noted.

Results
The mean load to failure data and standard deviations for the three groups were as follows: Group 1 (792.7 N ± 122.5) and Group 3 (793.6 ± 162.3) showed no significant difference in fracture resistance while the values for specimens in Group 2 (604 N ± 191.1) had the lowest mean value and were significantly lower. In Group 1, 16 crowns and four abutment fractures were reported, while in Group 3, 17 crowns and three abutments fractured. Group 2 actually showed three types of fractures. Two specimen fractures were located at the implant level, six with fractures occuring within the Empress 2 all-ceramic crown, and the remaining 12 failures were located at the abutment level.

Conclusion
Within the limitations of this laboratory study, the following conclusions were drawn:

The mean load-to-failure values for all three groups were well above the reported normal maximal incisal load range.
The load to failure for both the zirconium oxide (ZrO2) abutments (ZiReal on 3i Certain implants and synOcta Ceramic Blanks on SLA ITI Straumann implants) had mean fracture loads of 792.7 N (+122.6) and 604.2 N (+191.2), respectively.
The zirconium oxide (ZrO2) ZiReal and titanium (UCLA) abutments on the 3i Certain implants had statistically significantly higher fracture loads (792.7 N and 703.7 N, respectively) than those recorded for the 3i Ceramic Blank abutments on the SLA ITI Straumann implant (604.2 N).
The ITI Straumann Ceramic Blank abutments showed uniform fracture behavior. Fracture mainly emanated from the cervical buccal aspect of the abutment.

Clinical Significance
The three abutments tested showed they can withstand clinical loads above the normal range of mastication.

Prevalence of Additional Canals in Maxillary First Molars in a Nigerian Population
Authors: Dosumu Oluwole O. , Abiodun-Solanke Iyabo M. Funmilayo , Shaba Peter O. , Ajayi Deborah M. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of additional canals in maxillary first molars in a selected population in Nigeria.

Methods and Materials
One hundred extracted teeth were collected from the Pedodontic and Oral Surgery clinics of the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria. The teeth were identified and their root planed to remove adherent soft tissues. Each tooth was sectioned at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and then again at 2 mm below the CEJ. The number of canals present in each root was noted. For the clinical aspect of the study, 30 patients with clinical and radiological evidence of pulpal involvement participated in the study. These patients had root canal therapy performed on their maxillary first molars and the number of canals was confirmed with periapical radiographs.

Results
In the laboratory phase of the study 77% of the teeth sectioned had three canals while 22% had four canals with the fourth canal being a second mesiobuccal canal. Only one tooth had five canals with two canals in the palatal root, two canals in the mesiobuccal root, and the remaining canal in the distobuccal root. For the clinical phase of the study, 29 (96.7%) out of 30 patients treated had three canals while only one (3.3%) had four canals with the fourth canal being a second mesiobuccal canal.

Conclusion
Clinicians should assume there are additional canals in each root when performing endodontic therapy on the maxillary first molar. Only after a thorough search for extra canals and after it is determined further preparation would be fruitless or could cause perforation should the clinician proceed with treating only one canal per root.

Clinical Significance
If root canal therapy fails, it may be due to the existence of an extra canal that was not located and treated in the first place. This should be considered carefully during re-treatment either by surgical or non-surgical methods.

Tobacco Use and Its Effects on the Periodontium and Periodontal Therapy
Authors: Laxman Vandana K. , Annaji Sridhar 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The purpose of this article is to present a review of the potential biological mechanisms underlying the effects of tobacco smoking on periodontal health and periodontal therapy.

Background
Periodontitis is the result of complex interrelationships between infectious agents and host factors. Environmental, acquired, and genetic risk factors modify the expression of disease and may, therefore, affect the onset or progression of periodontitis.

Review Results
The study of the relationship between periodontal disease and smoking has received increased attention during the last few years. Tobacco smoking has wide spread systemic effects, many of which may provide mechanisms for the increased susceptibility to periodontitis and the poorer response to treatment.

Conclusion
Tobacco smoking is a significant risk factor for periodontal disease.

Clinical Significance
The role smoking plays in periodontal disease should be considered by clinicians and patients during active periodontal therapy and the oral health maintenance phases of care.

Authors: Hallikerimath Seema , Shirahatti Ravi V , Nagesh L 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Prevention of initiation and interruption in progression of early lesions are the desirable modes of caries management. Fluoride dentifrices and casein phosphopeptides are known to inhibit demineralization and enhance remineralization. The present study was conducted with the objective to investigate the effects of fluoridated dentifrice, non-fluoridated dentifrice and casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate paste on enamel caries formation and lesion depth progression.228 tooth sections derived from extracted human permanent molars.were used The study was carried out in 3 phases where in each phase the enamel sections were treated for 14 days twice a day for 3 minutes with respective agents, followed by acid demineralization using 0.05 M acetic acid resulting in lesions. The depths of the lesions were measured using stereomicroscope. The mean lesion depths of three test groups were compared with each other as well as with control group at the end of each phase. Comparison of mean lesion depths of different groups was carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and student's unpaired-t-test. The fluoridated dentifrice group had significantly lesser mean lesion depth than control group in all the three phases (P<0.05). In second phase, non-fluoridated dentifrice and CPP-ACP paste groups had significantly lesser mean lesion depths than control groups (P<0.05). The study demonstrated that twice a day application of fluoridated dentifrice provides substantial protective effect against lesion formation and lesion depth progression. The study could not demonstrate any additional ability of CPP-ACP paste in reducing lesions depth progression and effect was similar to non-fluoridated dentifrice group.
Referral of a Periodontal Patient- When & Why?
Authors: Kumar Ashish 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
PLast two decades have seen vast increase in the knowledge of the periodontal disease process, its pathology & also a sudden rise in various treatment modalities to cure it. With periodontitis being one of the most common diseases affecting the oral cavity, the interest in periodontics has risen over last decades. Still the referral process for periodontal patients is not as common as for other specialties of dentistry. This is despite the fact that it may not be possible for many of the general dentists to effectively treat periodontal patients and provide optimal care. The general dentists need to understand what periodontists do & what value they bring to patient care as the scope of periodontal practice has broadened. This article stresses on the importance of referral process of a periodontal patient in general practice as team approach always works better.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Xeroderma Pigmentosa is caused by an autosomal recessive allele. It is characterized by dry, pigmented skin, spidery blood vessels in the skin, skin cancers, and sometimes other abnormalities of both the eyes and brain. A harsh reaction to sunlight, such as severe sunburn and blistering at only a slight exposure, is a notable symptom and should be distinguished within the first year or two of life. The majority of the people who are born with these disorders die by early adulthood due to malignant cancers. This article reports a case of 6-year-old child suffering from XP with dental implications.
Synodontia between Permanent Maxillary Lateral Incisor and A Supernumerary Tooth: Surgical Treatment Perspective
Authors: Gupta Seema , Goel Mahesh , Dutta Samir 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTSynodontia or fusion is union of two independently developing primary or secondary teeth. In the case reported here, clinical and radiographic examination suggested fusion between maxillary lateral incisor and a supernumerary tooth with the resultant loss of eruption space for permanent canine. Since the teeth exhibited separate pulp chambers without any pulpal involvement, surgical separation followed by odontoplasty was done. Follow-up revealed the tooth to be asymptomatic and sufficient space for eruption of canine was created. The case report highlights the surgical management in case of fusion and timely intervention to prevent periodontal, endodontic and orthodontic complications.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Objective
The study was done with an aim to know the knowledge, attitude and practices among school teachers regarding oral health.

Methods
A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 285 school teachers from 28 schools (government and private schools) located in Thiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu.

Results
Whilst majority of the school teachers had high level of interest towards the importance of oral health, their lack of knowledge was one of the constraints for further promotion of oral health. Additionally, inadequate resources and training programs for teachers were also identified to be significant barriers in promoting positive dental health education.

Conclusion
This study emphasizes the need for regular training programs for school teachers that involves knowledge and positive approaches towards oral health practices. It is also imperative that school management provide adequate resources for the training needs that accommodate oral health awareness and positive approaches for oral health promotion.

Selfiedontics defines the amalgamation of selfie-culture with clinical practice of dentistry. Use of selfie should not only be restricted to social platform, but also to educate the patient about his own dental status, and even in treatment planning. This article focuses on the combination of digital dentistry with that of the cosmetic or esthetic dentistry.
Cementifying Fibroma of the Mandible – A Case Report
Authors: Goyal Sonia , Godhi Suhas , Goyal Sandeep , Giraddi Girish 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Cementifying fibromas are rare fibro-osseous lesions that affect the jawbone and that are included by Gorlin in the group of mesodermal odontogenic tumours. Four separate categories have been identified: Periapical cemental dysplasia, benign cementoblastoma, cementifying fibroma and a rare gigantiform variety. The current case is reported because of rarity of such lesions and the paucity of information concerning them in the dental literature. We believe that this case illustrates many of the clinical, radiographic and histologic features associated with cemento-ossifying tumours.

Biologic Width: Evaluation and Correction of its Violation
Authors: Sharma Nikhil , Khuller Nitin 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The concept of Biologic Width has been widely described by periodontists and restorative dentists. An adequate understanding of relationship between periodontal tissues and restorative dentistry is paramount to ensure adequate form, function and esthetics, and comfort of the dentition. While most clinicians are aware of this important relationship, uncertainty remains regarding specific concepts such as biologic width and indications and applications of surgical crown lengthening. These violations lead to complications like gingival inflammation, alveolar bone loss and improper fit of the restorative component. An attempt has been made in this article to discuss the concept of biologic width, its importance in maintaining a long term dental restoration including crown & bridge and implants, and the implications of biologic width violation. Lastly, we discuss the possible methods to assess biologic width and surgical & non-surgical corrective procedures.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to look at the frequency of strict anaerobic bacteria in patients with chronic periodontitis and healthy subjects without periodontal destruction. Hundred patients with chronic periodontitis and hundred healthy subjects with no clinical signs of periodontal disease were included in the study. Sterile paper points were used for sample collection from the deepest pocket site in case of periodontitis patients. The samples were cultured under anaerobic conditions and characterized to species level by conventional biochemical tests. Anaerobes were isolated in 83% of periodontitis cases and 62% of healthy subjects. Porphyromonas gingivalis (48%), Fusobacterium nucleatum (24%), Peptostreptococcus micros (23%) and Prevotella spp. (26%) were the commonest anaerobes isolated in periodontitis patients, while Peptostreptococcus micros (36%), Prevotella spp. (8%), Veillonella (10%) and Actinomyces viscosus (12%) were frequently detected in the control group. Data shows the diversity of anaerobic bacteria in chronic periodontitis.
Adult Orthodontics Versus Adolescent Orthodontics: An Overview
Authors: Bagga Dinesh K. 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTThe scope of orthodontics has widened to include not only children and adolescents but also adults, thereby abolishing the upper age limit. With growing esthetic conscience among the society, a great number of young adults are seeking orthodontic treatment primarily for esthetic reasons. They undergo comprehensive orthodontic treatment involving major occlusal changes to get the utmost esthetically pleasing face. The older adults with poor dental conditions requiring perio-restorative treatment undergo adjunctive orthodontic treatment to attain a long-term prognosis. The orthodontist faces challenges to practice adult orthodontics due to various issues being under considerations, which are quite different than routine orthodontic treatment oriented to children and adolescents. This article highlights the difficulties and limitations faced by the orthodontist while practicing adult orthodontics with remedies to overcome them.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
In this report, we present a case of gingival enlargement related to pregnancy causing chewing, speaking, breathing and cosmetic problems. The patient was a 23-year old woman in the eighth month of her first pregnancy, with localized gingival enlargement affecting both buccal and lingual aspects of the area between right maxillary lateral incisor and canine. Hormonal changes occurring during pregnancy have long been known to be associated with generalized or localized gingival enlargements. Pregnancy does not cause the condition but altered tissue metabolism in pregnancy accentuates the response to the local irritants.
Bilateral Ameloblastic Fibroma in A 6 Year Old Child: A Unique Case
Authors: Gupta Ashish , Sood Rahul , Bansal Pankaj 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is an extremely rare true mixed benign tumour that can occur either in mandible or maxilla, but is most frequently found in the posterior region of mandible. It is usually seen in the first two decades of life and is associated with tooth enclosure, hence causing delay in eruption or altering the dental eruption sequence. AF is found during routine radiographic evaluation but is clinically and radiographically similar to Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma and odontoma, which makes an accurate diagnosis mandatory as it may change the course of treatment. There has been lot of debate regarding the treatment for AF. We describe a case of bilateral ameloblastic fibroma in the posterior region of mandible in 6 year old child which was treated by conservative curettage with admirable results.
