The Effects of Orthodontic Movement on a Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft in the Treatment of Gingival Recession
Authors: Taffarel Ivan Pedro , Avila Ana Leticia Rocha , Silva Gabriela Molina , Añez Maria Cecilia Galacini 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The purpose of this article is to report on the five-year follow-up of a case involving treatment of gingival recession with a subepithelial connective tissue graft prior to orthodontic tooth movement.

Background
Gingival recession has a global prevalence that varies from 3 to 100 perpcent depending on the population studied and the method of analysis. In addition, the frequency of recession seems to be positively correlated with age. Planned orthodontic tooth movement is not necessarily an etiological factor for gingival recession, so long as it does not move the tooth out of its alveolar process. When the tooth is shifted without adequate biomechanical control, bone dehiscence can develop, and the recession can occur as a consequence of the orthodontic treatment.

Case Description
A 19.6-year-old female patient was referred for orthodontic treatment due to severe anterior-inferior dental crowding and a mandibular right lateral incisor in linguoverson and 4.0 mm of gingival recession on the labial surface. Normal gingival architecture was restored with a subepithelial connective tissue graft used to cover the 4.0 mm defect, after which orthodontic treatment repositioned the malposed incisor into its correct occlusal alignment. Individualized torque was applied to the mandibular right central incisor during the orthodontic treatment. The patient was reevaluated five years after completion of the orthodontic treatment.

Results
At the five-year recall appointment, the patient exhibited normal tooth alignment and generalized normal gingival architecture; however, 2 mm of gingival recession was noted on the graft site.

Summary
This case demonstrated that periodontal surgical correction of facial gingival recession with a subepithelial graft may be performed prior to initiating orthodontic treatment.

Clinical Significance
The interdisciplinary association between orthodontics and periodontics contributes to good prognosis and acquisition or maintenance of the periodontal tissue health, masticatory function, esthetics, and patient satisfaction. The subepithelial connective tissue graft placed prior to the orthodontic movement showed satisfactory results five years after completion of the orthodontic treatment.

Diagnostic Reliability of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology against Histopathology for the Diagnosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Oral Leukoplakia
Authors: Olekar Santosh T , Sangeeta T , Kumar YS Prasanna , Gururaj M 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Aim
The purpose of this study was to determine the possibility of using fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) as a primary diagnostic test in oral leukoplakia and squamous cell carcinoma.

Materials and methods
This study consisted of clinically diagnosed 15 cases of leukoplakia and 15 cases of oral squamous cell carcinomas. FNAC and biopsy were done on all the cases. A cytological and histopathological correlation was undertaken to determine the proportion of cancers. A 23-gauge sterile disposable needle was attached to a disposable syringe and introduced into the lesion at the proposed biopsy site in one movement. In leukoplakias, the center of the lesion or erythroplakic areas and, in squamous cell carcinomas, proliferative areas and edges of the ulcers were chosen.

Results
In leukoplakia group, out of 15 biopsy samples, one (6.67%) sample was negative and 14 (93.33%) were positive. Whereas out of 15 FNAC samples, 14 (93.33%) were negative and one (6.67%) sample was positive. In squamous cell carcinoma, out of 15 biopsy samples, no sample was negative and all (100.00%) were positive. Whereas out of 15 FNAC samples, two (13.33%) were negative and 13 (86.67%) sample were positive.

Conclusion
It is noted that FNAC can be employed as a sound diagnostic tool for rapid diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma. It may be particularly useful in cases, where formal biopsy procedure is difficult or contraindicated due to medical reasons or in cases of advanced malignancy.

Clinical significance
FNAC has been shown to be reliable and safe technique in the diagnosis of malignant in the head and neck. When the aspirations are performed by cytopathologists, it is easy to perform a rapid staining of the first smear and within 10 to 15 minutes to ensure that the material is sufficient and diagnosable and to suggest a preliminary diagnosis.

Connecting to Success: Practice Management on the Net
Authors: Freydberg Barry K. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Profound changes in the way dental practices manage data, patient records, and communication are beginning to unfold. Sooner than most of us can imagine, secured patient medical and dental records will reside on the Internet. Additionally, communication between health care providers and patients will become virtually 100% electronic. As the Application Service Provider (ASP) dental models mature, practices will transition from paper to “paperless” to “web-based” management and clinical systems. This article examines and explains these future frontiers.

Method for Immediate Measurement of In Vitro Bond Strength of Bonded Direct Esthetic Restorations
Authors: Talic Yousef Fouad 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
There are many different ways to measure the bond strength of direct esthetic restorations to various dental substrates. Unfortunately, most methods cannot measure bond strengths immediately after a restoration has been placed. This lack of clinically-relevant information seriously affects the clinician's ability to select and use various bonding agents and procedures. The aim of this article is to provide a very detailed method for immediate measurement of in vitro bond strengths of direct bonded esthetic restorations. It focuses on the steps that should be taken to select and prepare various tooth substrates for bond strength testing, the steps to “restore” various tooth substrates, and to measure the immediate in vitro bond strength. A fundamental understanding of a standardized testing protocol should provide clinicians with a clearer appreciation of bond strengths associated with various bonding procedures.

The Normal and Pathological Pigmentation of Oral Mucous Membrane: A Review
Authors: Ertaş Ümit , Çiçek Yasin 
Published: July 2019

AbstractPigmentation is both the normal and abnormal discoloration of oral mucous membrane. Pigmentation has multifactorial etiology. Most of the pigmentation is physiologic but sometimes it can be a precursor of severe diseases. Melanin pigment irregularities and color changes of the oral tissues could provide significant diagnostic evidence of both local and systemic disease.The differential diagnosis, clinical, etiology, and histopathological features of pigmentation are discussed and the current literature is reviewed.CitationÇiçek Y.

Broken Appointment Behavior in a Dental School Enviornment
Authors: Awartani Fatin 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe present study was designed to determine the prevalence of broken appointments of female and male patients scheduled for third, fourth, and fifth year dental students. Data was obtained from computers used for patient scheduling at two campuses of the dental college. The proportion of broken appointments at these facilities was computed using the X2-test to determine a difference between males and females. Results showed that male patients (14.9%) had a higher proportion of broken appointments than female patients (12.4%). Such differences among gender was statistically significant (p=4.218).The highest percentage of broken appointments was during December of 2001. Thirty four percent of these broken appointments were in the Restorative Clinic at the Darraiyah Campus (DUC) serving primarily male patients and 24% in the Removable Partial Denture Clinic at the Malaz Campus (MUC) serving only female patients.It was concluded the percentage of broken appointment s is considered to be unacceptable because of the negative impact on student learning and, ultimately, their academic progress.CitationAwartani F.

Orthodontic Treatment Planning: Do Orthodontists Treat to Cephalometric Norms?
Authors: Al-Balkhi Khalid M. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractCephalometric norms are important to orthodontists in their diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of orthodontic treatment outcomes. The purpose of the present study is to establish if orthodontists treat and finish their cases to the cephalometric means or norms.Pre- and post-cephalometric radiographs and dental casts of 35 orthodontically treated cases were analyzed. The Kappa test, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, Paired t- test, and Z-test were used for the statistical analysis of the data. The result revealed that orthodontists do not reach the cephalometric mean values post-treatment. However, sagittal maxillomandibular relationship and interlabial gap are the main areas of improvements. This leads to improvement of soft tissue esthetics by camouflaging the skeletal and dental relationship.CitationAl-Balkhi KM.

Immediate and 24-Hour Bond Strengths of Two Dental Adhesive Systems to Three Tooth Substrates
Authors: Talic Yousef Fouad 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Bond strengths of bonded composite resins to tooth substrates vary depending on when they were measured. Most bond strengths reported in the literature are a result of one hour, 24-hour, or longer periods of time that do not simulate actual clinical practice when occlusal adjustment and finishing and polishing procedures are performed within seconds after restoration placement.
There are many different ways to measure the bond strength of direct esthetic restorations to various dental substrates. This research uses a method published previously that compares immediate and 24-hour bond strengths of a single-bottle dental adhesive and a self-etching primer adhesive to prepared enamel, unprepared enamel, and prepared dentin substrates.
Significant differences were found between immediate and 24-hour bond strengths, but there were essentially no differences between substrates or adhesives.

Authors: Martins Wilson Denis , Wastphalen Fernando Henrique , Westphalen Vania Portela Ditzel 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
A case of microstomia caused by swallowing caustic soda is presented. A 54-year old man developed a progressive stricture of the circumoral region following accidental ingestion of caustic soda when he was 9 years old. He was treated by a general surgeon who performed bilateral commissurotomies when he was 19 years old and lived normally until he needed major dental prosthetic treatment. His dentist was unable to perform the treatment due to the mouth stricture. The surgical option was to perform bilateral buccal mucosal flaps.
A review of the literature and the surgical technique are presented.

The Comparison of the Thickness of the Cementum Layer in Type 2 Diabetic and Non-diabetic Patients
Authors: Gokhan Kamer , Keklikoglu Nurullah , Buyilertan Mete 
Published: July 2019

AbstractIt has been suggested diabetes plays an important role in tooth loss. Studies examining the periodontal structures and the alveolar bone architecture in diabetics have revealed some alterations. However, mechanisms responsible for these alterations have not been elucidated completely. Established relationships between the cementum layer, which is resistant to resorption, and diabetes are few in number. The aim of this study was to compare the thickness of the cementum layer in Type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic subjects in order to improve the understanding of dental mobility in Type 2 diabetes and its effect on tooth loss. A total of 46 male patients with a mean age of 61.72 ± 5.45 yr. were included in this study (Type 2 diabetics, n=23; nondiabetics, n=23); undecayed. Single rooted premolar teeth extracted from 46 male patients were used to assess the alterations in the cementum layer in Type 2 diabetics. Histological preparations from extracted teeth were examined under light microscopy. In each tooth, the thickness of the cementum layer was measured by an oculometer in 4 different sites on the specimen with the largest pulp space including the pulp chamber and root canals. Statistical analyses were performed with student'sttest.The average thickness of the cementum layer in the decalcified teeth extracted from non-diabetic patients was compared to the average thickness of the cementum layer in Type 2 diabetic patients. A significant difference was observed in every site of measurement between Type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients with regard to the thickness of the cementum layer (p < 0.05). The cementum layer was thicker at the apical part of the root and at the midpoint of the apical half, and thinner at the central part of the root and at the midpoint of the coronal half in Type 2 diabetic patients.CitationGokhan K, Keklikoglu N, Buyukertan M.

Intentional Dental Reimplantation: A Case Report
Authors: Nuzzolese Emilio , Cirulli Nunzio , Lepore Maria M. , D'Amore Addolorata 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
It is well known dental reimplantation is indicated following traumatic avulsion by the preservation of cellular vitality in the periodontal ligament and under conditions of asepsis. The rate of endodontic success at five years reported in the literature ranges between 70% and 91%. However, intentional dental reimplantation is an effective strategy for the treatment of teeth that would be difficult, if not impossible, to treat using traditional root canal therapy. Different prognoses exist for intentional dental reimplantation and trauma-related reimplantation. This is due to such important variables such as the level of cellular vitality in the periodontal ligament; the degree of trauma to surrounding tissues, and the degree of asepsis when a tooth is removed. Surgical extraction is more favorable in this regard compared to a traumatic avulsion scenario. This paper presents a report of an intentional dental reimplantation of a maxillary right firstmolar.

The Effect of Menopause, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), Alendronate (ALN), and Calcium Supplements on Saliva
Authors: Gurgan Timur , Gurgan Sevil , Yalcin Filiz 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Purpose
In menopausal women many physiological changes take place, most of which are due to decreased estrogen production. It is known estrogen influences oral health in a number of ways and saliva undergoes variations depending upon the levels of this hormone.

Materials and Methods
The study was designed to evaluate the relationship of menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), alendronate (ALN), and calcium supplements on salivary flow rate, saliva pH, and electrolytes. A group of a group of 14 osteoporotic women in menopause with an age average of 50.7 and 14 non-menopausal women with an age average of 42.4 and were selected as subjects. The oral status of the subjects was determined using the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN), the Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT) and the Decayed, Missing and Filled Surfaces (DMFS) indicies.
The non-stimulated whole saliva samples were subsequently collected from the women in both the control and experimental groups and then analyzed biochemically. The women comprising the experimental group received HRT supplemented with ALN and calcium; saliva collecting and analyzing procedures were repeated at the third and sixth months of the treatment.

Results
The most significant oral discomfort in women in the menopausal period was oral dryness, and this symptom was relieved after HRT with ALN and calcium supplements. The oral status of the nonmenopausal women was better than the women in menopause. The salivary flow rate was decreased in the menopausal period and increased after HRT, ALN, and calcium supplementation. The saliva pH values were not affected by menopause and HRT with ALN and calcium supplementation. The level of Na+ was increased with menopause and did not change with HRT supplemented with ALN and calcium, whereas the K+ level decreased in the menopausal period and remained constant after HRT with ALN and calcium. The Cl- level was not affected by menopause and the HRT supplemented with ALN and calcium. The Ca++ level was not different in the two groups of women and did not change after HRT supplemented with ALN and calcium.

Conclusion
HRT with ALN and calcium supplementation affected some factors in saliva positively.

The Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft: Part II. Histologic Healing and Clinical Root Coverage
Authors: Breault Lawrence G. , Covington Lemuel L. , Bishop Barry G. , Sedon Constance L. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Periodontal plastic surgical techniques have evolved to meet the demands of today's dental patient. Free gingival grafts (FGGs), pedicle flaps, subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTGs), acellular dermal matrix (ADM) grafts, and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) have all been used to cover denuded root surfaces. FGGs have demonstrated inconsistent results. Pedicle flaps have provided consistent results, but adequate tissue must be present initially. ADM grafts have also demonstrated success, but long-term stability may be a problem. Presently, SCTGs and GTR should be considered the treatment of choice for root coverage. They are the most predictable with average root coverage as high as 98.9% and 92.3%, respectively.

Published: July 2019

AbstractThe aim of this clinical report is to describe the management of a young patient, affected by ectodermal dysplasia, during a nine-year period. Dental treatment can vary depending on the severity of the disease (tooth size, morphology, and amount of available alveolar bone). New technologies, such as adhesive dentistry, and new materials, such as composite resin, represent current options in the management of the dental rehabilitation of patients affected by ectodermal dysplasia. Removable partial dentures were used to replace congenitally missing teeth, and composite resin materials were used to restore conical-shaped maxillary teeth to achieve a favorable esthetic result. This option minimized the sacrifice of healthy dental tissue. Prosthodontic and restorative treatment was provided for the psychological and social comfort of the young patient.CitationLo Muzio L, Bucci P, Carile F, Riccitiello F, Scotti C, Coccia E, Rappelli G.
