Fracture of the Alveolar Process in a 2-year-old Child: A Report of an Unconventional Immobilization
Authors: Martins Wilson Denis , Fávaro Daniela Martins 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This is a report of fracture of the maxillary anterior segment of the alveolar process of an energetic 2-yearold child. The fracture was reduced under general anesthesia, and the fractured segment was immobilized using only 2-0 chromic gut in order to avoid a second surgical episode to remove traditional fixation after healing. The patient was followed for one year and healed well with no evidence of the lack of vitality of the involved teeth.

Influence of Zinc-Oxide Eugenol, Formocresol, and Ferric Sulfate on Bond Stength of Dentin Adhesives to Primary Teeth
Authors: Sakanam Fouad Saad 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This study evaluated in vitro the influence of a temporary filling {zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE)} and two pulpotomy agents {formocresol (FC) and ferric sulfate (FS)} on shear bond strength (SBS) of two dentin adhesives to the dentin of primary molars. A total of 80 dentin surfaces were prepared and randomly allocated into 10 groups of 8 specimens each. Groups were subjected to different treatments, which included covering with a paste of ZOE mixed at different powder:liquid (P:L) ratios, placement on a gauze soaked in FC or FS, or they received no pretreatment and served as a control. XRVTM Herculite® composite cylinders were bonded to dentin surfaces using Prime and Bond® NT adhesive resin or Opti Bond Solo Plus adhesive resin. SBSs were determined using the lnstron® testing machine running at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The use of ZOE mixed at the lower P:L ratio of 10g:2g significantly decreased the values of SBS of the two adhesives. The use of two pulpotomy agents (FC and FS) significantly decreased the SBS of the two adhesives. The bond strength to dentin of primary teeth was influenced by the pulpotomy agents used and the ZOE P:L ratio but not by the adhesive system used.

Tobacco Cessation for the Dental Team: A Practical Guide Part 1: Background & Overview
Authors: Davis Joan M. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Dental professionals are strategically placed to be the leaders in tobacco prevention and cessation as they provide preventive and therapeutic services to a basically healthy population on a regular basis. By expanding the dental exam, diagnosis, and treatment to include tobacco cessation, a potentially life saving element of care is added to an established service. In addition periodontal disease and the potential for oral cancer mandate the inclusion of tobacco cessation services into dental care. Though dental professionals are aware of the health issues associated with tobacco use, they often feel ill prepared or uncomfortable presenting patients with a clear cessation message.
In this, the first of a two-part article, the purpose is to provide dental professionals with the foundational knowledge necessary to provide effective tobacco cessation as a normal part of patient care.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
This paper highlights the typical clinical features of aggressive periodontitis (formerly known as juvenile periodontitis in the South Western region of Nigeria), the attending psychological effect following tooth loss, and the rehabilitative management offered which included periodontal therapy, psychotherapy, and prosthetic replacement of the missing teeth. The psychotherapy is the main distinguishing treatment in this study from previously reported modes of management of this disease entity.
Subjects were from a part of the South Western region of Nigeria, and ages ranged from 15 to 22 years. They all presented very late with subsequent gross periodontal breakdown and subsequent psychological depression. The mean values of the probing depth (mm), degree of mobility, and the amount of bone fill (mm) from the periapical radiographs were recorded pre and post-operatively. The missing teeth were replaced with acrylic dentures, and psychotherapy was offered at three levels (individual, group, and conjoint-family psychotherapy).
There was significant improvement of these clinical parameters six months after treatment, and the partial denture replacement of the missing teeth improved their appearance as expected but did not totally improve the initial depressive state. The psychotherapy offered gave the patients positive psychological effects that further restored their ability to socialize in their environment, which added to their positive experience of life.
In conclusion the typical clinical features of localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP) patients in our environment are late presentation with gross periodontal tissue breakdown. Psychotherapy is an important aspect in the management of this group of patients in conjunction with the periodontal and prosthetic management, which gives total rehabilitation.

Hyperlipidemia in Patients with Periodontitis
Authors: Moeintaghavi Amir , Haerian-Ardakani A. , Talebi-Ardakani Mohammadreza , Tabatabaie I. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Background
Periodontitis is a bacterial infection, which has been classified as a local chronic inflammation. This, as well as cardiovascular disease, may share common risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, behavioral factors, aging, and male gender. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between hyperlipidemia and periodontitis.

Materials & Methods
The levels of plasma lipids in 40 subjects with periodontitis (CPITN score III or IV, pocket depth 4 mm) with mean age 32.3 ±1.2 years were measured and compared with those obtained from 40 age and sex matched controls. Both groups were systemically healthy according to their medical history.

Results
Total cholesterol (CHL) and triglycerides (TG) were significantly higher in the case group (P=0.045 and P=0.016, respectively). HDL and LDL cholesterols were higher in patients but did not have any significant differences with controls. The frequency of persons with pathologic values of TG and CHL were significantly higher in cases compared with controls.

Conclusions
These results showed hyperlipidemia may be associated with periodontitis in healthy people. However, it is unclear whether periodontitis causes an increase in levels of serum lipids or hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for both periodontitis and cardiovascular disease.

Published: July 2019

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to analyze the anthropometric measures and oral health status of children with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and compare them to matched controls. The sample of 90 cases (children diagnosed with FAS) and 90 controls were matched for age, gender, and social class. The mean age of the cases was 8.9 years with the controls slightly older at 9.1 years. The results of the anthropometric measurements in respect of weight, height, and head circumference showed significantly lower values for the FAS children when compared to the controls. Several physical abnormalities described in children with FAS were seen in this study. Some of these abnormalities seen in the FAS children included deformities in the small joints of the hand, altered palmar creases, and malformation of the ears.The prevalence of enamel opacities between FAS and controls was not significantly different and averaged around 15% for both groups. More than three quarters of both the cases and the controls demonstrated the presence of plaque and almost two-thirds demonstrated gingival bleeding on probing. FAS patients had statistically significantly (p<0.001) more dentofacial anomalies than the controls. The mean decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft) score for the FAS sample was slightly higher, though not significantly different from that of the controls, and the decayed component (d) made up the largest part of the index in both groups.CitationNaidoo S, Chikte U, Laubscher R, Lombard C.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
One of the most important goals of the restoration of endodontically treated teeth with a composite resin post system is to achieve good adaptation of the composite material to dentin walls to prevent microleakage apically and coronally. In post core systems, to avoid microleakage between the dentin wall and resin material, laser irradiation may seem to be an alternative therapy for increasing adaptation quality.
The aim of this study was to investigate the adaptation of a packable composite resin to lased root canal dentin when it was used as post material.
Forty-five freshly extracted human teeth were selected and post spaces were prepared. The teeth were divided into three groups. In group 1 the dentin of the post spaces were etched with 35% phosphoric acid, in group 2 the dentin surfaces were irradiated with an Nd: YAG laser, and in group 3 the dentin surfaces were initially treated with the laser and then etched. The teeth of all groups were obturated with a bonding agent and composite. The groups were divided into two subgroups: a group for the scanning electron microscope (SEM) study and a group for the microleakage study.
The lased group showed poor adaptation and more microleakage was detected (p<0.05; variance analysis). The laser beam and acid-etching showed no advantage compared to the acid-etching alone (p>0.05).
The Nd: YAG laser irradiation adversely affects adhesion to dentin for using composite resin as a post material and does not constitute an alternative to acid-etching.

The Color Differences Between Different Thicknesses of Resin Veneered Over Amalgam
Authors: Al-Jazairy Yousra Hussain , El-Hejazi Ahmed A. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractStatement of ProblemComposites and compomers are popular in dental practice. However, little is known about their esthetic appearance as veneering restorative materials over amalgam restorations.PurposeThisin vitrostudy was designed to assess the color differences of composite and compomer restorative materials, placed in thicknesses of 1 mm and 2 mm over amalgam.Material and MethodsThirty six cylindrical Teflon molds were filled with amalgam (13 mm diameter, 2 mm thickness) and stored at 37°C and 100% relative humidity for 7 days. Nine veneers (for each thickness of 1 and 2 mm) were fabricated from four types of tooth-colored restorative material, Dyract AP (DYR), Compoglass F (COMP), Herculite XRV (XRV), and Vitalecense (VIT), over amalgam specimens using Teflon-split molds and following the manufacturers’ instructions. A spectrophotometer was used to measure the color difference ΔE* between the two thicknesses.ResultsColor difference ΔE* values for 1 mm thickness veneers [XRV (2.52), Comp (5.46), VIT (6.73), and DYR (6.88)] were statistically significantly higher than the 2 mm thickness [XRV (1.32), Comp (3.24), VIT (4.89), and DYR (4.83)]. Although the XRV material had the lowest ΔE* values, no statistically significant difference was found between the two thicknesses. The color measurements at L*, a*, and b* showed most materials became darker in color at either thickness.ConclusionThe thicker veneer specimens were found to be closer in color to the controls than the thinner specimens. Only XRV had color differences (ΔE*) small enough to be considered clinically acceptable (2.52 and 1.32 at 1 mm and 2 mm, respectively).Clinical ImplicationsIn thisin vitrostudy the color of XRV was affected the least when veneered on amalgam. Opaquers may be needed to be used with thinner veneers to minimize the effect of amalgam background.CitationAl-Jazairy YH, El-Hejazi AA.

Published: July 2019

AbstractResistance to impact fracture and high flexural strength are desirable properties of denture base acrylics. The purpose of this laboratory study was to determine the Izod impact strength, the flexural strength, the flexural modulus, and the yield distance for four premium denture resins. Bar specimens 86 x 11 x 3 mm of Lucitone 199, Fricke Hi-I, ProBase Hot, and Sledgehammer Maxipack were fabricated following the manufacturer's instructions for heat processing. The bars were surface finished using silicon carbide paper to 600 grit. Ten specimens from three lots of each material were made (n=30). Flexural strength, flexural modulus, and yield distance were determined by testing the specimens to failure using a three-point test fixture. Izod impact strength was determined using an Izod tester on un-notched specimens generated from the flexural test (n=60). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc Tukey's test were used for statistical comparison of each property. There were significant differences in the physical properties among the denture acrylics tested. Lucitone 199 demonstrated the highest impact strength, flexural strength, and yield distance (p<0.05). Lucitone 199 with an Izod impact strength of 5.5 ± 1.2 N·m, a flexural strength of 99.5 ± 4.5 MPa, and yield distance of 9.9 ± 0.76 mm exhibited statistically greater results than Fricki Hi-I, ProBase Hot, and Sledgehammer Maxipack. Fricki Hi- I with a yield distance of 7.3 ± 1.1 mm was statically greater than ProBase Hot and Sledgehammer Maxipack. Fricki Hi-I, ProBase Hot, and Sledgehammer Maxipack were statistically similar for the Izod impact strength and flexural strength tests performed. ProBase Hot and Sledgehammer Maxipack yielded statistically similar results for all tests performed. Flexural modulus had an inverse relationship to the impact strength, flexural strength, and yield distance.CitationMeng TR, Latta MA. Physical Properties of Four Acrylic Denture Base Resins.

Outcome of Endodontic Treatment of Teeth Filled Using Lateral Condensation versus Vertical Compaction (Schilder's Technique)
Authors: Aqrabawi Jamal A. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe purpose of this prospective clinical and radiographic investigation was to assess the treatment results following endodontic therapy of teeth filled with lateral condensation versus teeth filled with vertical compaction of warm gutta-percha. A total of 290 patients were treated using the standardized step-back technique for canal preparation, which were filled with either lateral condensation or vertical compaction in one single session. Five years later, the treatment results were assessed clinically and radiographically and related to the type of the obturation technique using Chi-square analysis. Of the 340 teeth that were reexamined, 160 teeth were filled with lateral condensation, and 180 teeth were filled with vertical condensation. The results showed a significantly higher success rate for the vertical compaction versus the lateral condensation technique of teeth presented with preoperative periapical lesions P<0.04. Regardless of the preoperative periapical status of the teeth, no statistically significant difference was found between the two techniques. The overall success rate of both filling techniques was 80.3%.CitationAqrabawi JA.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
During tooth bleaching abrasive dentifrices might change the outer superficial enamel. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the roughness of human enamel exposed to a 10% carbamide peroxide bleaching agent at different times and submitted to different superficial cleaning treatments. The study consisted of 60 sound human enamel slabs, randomly assigned to different treatment groups: G1 - not brushed; G2 - brushed with a fluoride abrasive dentifrice; G3 - brushed with a non-fluoride abrasive dentifrice; and G4 - brushed without a dentifrice. There were 15 enamel slabs per group. Slabs of molar teeth were obtained and sequentially polished with sandpaper and abrasive pastes. A perfilometer was used to obtain the mean of Ra value on the surface of each specimen to initial and experimental times. Bleaching was performed on the enamel surface for six hours daily. After that, each slab received a cleaning surface treatment and was stored in artificial saliva. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's HSD hoc analysis (α =0.05) revealed significant differences in roughness values over time for enamel bleached and treated with different superficial cleaning methods. G1 and G4 showed no significant differences in roughness over time, G2 and G3 showed a significant increase in the surface roughness values. This in vitro investigation showed the sole use of 10% carbamide peroxide did not alter the enamel surface roughness, but the cleaning treatments that employed the use of brushing with abrasive dentifrices resulted in a significant increase of enamel surface roughness.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to determine the characteristics of patients and type of dental treatment carried out using dental general anesthesia (DGA) during two years in a following three year period. A total of 182 patients received treatment between 1999 and 2001. The mean age was 4.9 years. The main indication for DGA was behavior management problems. Complete oral rehabilitation including complex restorative treatment and extractions was provided under DGA at a single visit. Failure to return for recalls was common; 83% of patients returned for the post-operative recall but only 26% after a three year period. Most of the patients requiring further treatment accepted it in the dental chair. Only one patient received a second DGA during the three years following treatment.

Efficacy and Safety of a Novel Stabilized Stannous Fluoride and Sodium Hexametaphosphate Dentifrice for Dental Hypersensitivity
Authors: Schiff Thomas , He Tao , Sagel Lisa , Baker Robert 
Published: July 2019

AbstractPurposeDentinal hypersensitivity is a common complaint among dental patients. Recently, a novel 0.454% stabilized stannous fluoride dentifrice containing sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) was introduced that offers a desensitizing benefit. This trial was conducted to assess the desensitizing efficacy of this new dentifrice relative to a sodium fluoride control dentifrice.Methods and MaterialsThis was a double-blind, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial conducted according to the American Dental Association (ADA) Guidelines for the Acceptance of Products for the Treatment of Dentinal Hypersensitivity. Ninety subjects who met the entrance criteria were stratified based on age, gender, and baseline sensitivity scores and randomly assigned to either the stabilized stannous fluoride + SHMP dentifrice (Crest®Pro-Health) or the sodium fluoride control dentifrice. Subjects were instructed to brush twice daily for eight weeks. Efficacy assessments were made, including tactile (Yeaple probe) and thermal (Schiff Air Index) sensitivity, and an oral soft tissue examination was conducted at baseline, week four, and week eight.ResultsThe mean sensitivity score based on the Schiff Air Index for the stannous fluoride + SHMP group was statistically significantly lower than that of the control group, at both weeks four and eight (P < .0001). At week eight, the stannous fluoride + SHMP dentifrice group had an adjusted mean 44% lower than that of the control group. The mean tactile sensitivity score for the stannous fluoride + SHMP group was statistically significantly higher, indicating a reduction in sensitivity, than that of the control group, at both weeks four and eight (P < .0001). At week eight, the stannous fluoride + SHMP dentifrice group had a mean desensitizing improvement of 71% greater than the control.ConclusionThe stabilized stannous fluoride + SHMP dentifrice provided statistically significant reductions in dentinal hypersensitivity at four and eight weeks compared to the sodium fluoride control dentifrice.CitationSchiff T, He T, Sagel L, Baker R.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
To determine the prevalence of tori in Jordanian edentulous patients, the sex variation in their distribution, and their clinical characteristics.

Methods
Three hundred and thirty eight patients were examined in the Prosthodontic Clinic in the Department of Restorative Dentistry at Jordan University of Science and Technology. The location, extent, and clinical presentation of tori were recorded related to the age and sex of patients.

Results
The overall prevalence of tori was 13.9%. The prevalence of torus palatinus was 29.8% (14/47), while that of torus mandibularis was significantly higher 42.6%(20/47). Both types of tori were associated with each other in 27.7% of cases (13/47).

Conclusions
There was no significant difference in the prevalence of tori between males and females. There seems to be a strong association between mandibular and palatal tori.
