Antibacterial and Antiplaque Effects of a Novel, Alcohol-Free Oral Rinse with Cetylpyridinium Chloride
Authors: Witt Jon , Ramji Nivedita , Gibb Roger , Dunavent John , Flood Janine , Barnes John 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Antimicrobial agents are commonly incorporated into hygiene products for the treatment and prevention of plaque and gingivitis. Recently, a new alcohol-free rinse containing 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) in a high bioavailable matrix (Crest® Pro-Health Rinse) was introduced to provide antiplaque and antigingivitis benefits. This paper reviews results from an in vitro pre-clinical study and an in vivo clinical study evaluating the antibacterial and antiplaque benefits of this CPC rinse technology. In the in vitro experiment, a no-alcohol 0.065% high bioavailable CPC prototype rinse was evaluated for its hostility against a broad range of microorganisms commonly associated with plaque and gingivitis. The rinse demonstrated greater than 99% germ kill for all organisms tested individually as well as in whole saliva. The benefit of this antibacterial action on plaque inhibition was assessed in a clinical trial. A double-blinded, 3-period, 6-sequence crossover study was conducted evaluating the antiplaque effect of the novel 0.07% high bioavailable, alcohol-free CPC rinse versus a positive control (Listerine® Cool Mint containing essential oils) and a negative control (placebo CPC rinse). A modification of the Addy 4-day plaque model was used for this evaluation. Plaque was measured at baseline (Day 1) of each treatment period and at Day 4 using the Turesky modification of Quigley-Hein index. During the treatment period, subjects brushed only their lingual surfaces twice daily for up to 60 seconds. Following brushing, subjects used 20 mls of the mouthrinse product for 30 seconds in the morning and evening. Fifty-five subjects completed the study. For non-brushed sites, both the essential oils and CPC rinse exhibited a 25% reduction in plaque vs. placebo after four days of product usage, which was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). Both treatments also exhibited a statistically significant benefit versus placebo (p<0.0001) for brushed sites (>38% plaque reduction). These data support the antibacterial action of the high bioavailable, alcohol-free CPC rinse and demonstrate antiplaque effects for Crest Pro-Health Rinse that are “at least as good as” the leading essential oils antiseptic, making it well-suited for a broad range of patients, particularly those who are sensitive to products containing alcohol.

Effects of One Versus Two-layer Applications of a Self-etching Adhesive to Dentin of Primary Teeth: A SEM Study
Authors: Ölmez Ayşegül , Öztaş Nurhan 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Resin composite is increasingly the material of choice for the restoration of primary teeth, and new materials with simplified procedures are increasingly being offered. Self-etching primers have been developed to simplify the bonding procedures. Some manufacturers recommend the application of these materials in two layers. However little is known about the application times. Therefore, this study evaluated the quality of the interfacial seal and the micromorphology of the hybrid layer in composite restorations bonded with one or two layer applications of a self-etching adhesive to the dentin of the primary teeth.
The superfacial dentin (within 1-2 mm of dentinoenamel junction (DEJ)) on the occlusal surfaces of fourteen primary molars was exposed by a flat cut perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth. The occlusal surfaces were divided into two halves by a 1 mm deep groove in the labial-lingual orientation. The teeth were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1: Single Bond (control group) was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions on one half of the surface. On the other half of the same tooth, one layer of Prompt-L-Pop (experimental group) was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. Group 2: the teeth received the same bonding regimes as group 1, but the experimental group had two layer application of Prompt-LPop. All samples were analyzed in SEM. Student's t-test was used to compare the width of the gap and hybrid layer thickness generated by experimental groups and control.
There was a statistically significant difference between control (Single Bond) and the experimental groups (one or two layer application of Prompt-L-Pop) (p<0.05). Single Bond showed the best results. Two layer application of Prompt-L-Pop showed better sealing ability than one layer application of it (p<0.05). Only Single Bond presented a visible hybrid layer that had an average thickness of 3.7 µm.

Management of Periodontitis Associated with Endodontically Involved Teeth: A Case Series
Authors: Anand Pradeep S. , Nandakumar K. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe pulp and the periodontal attachment are the two components that enable a tooth to function in the oral cavity. Lesions of the periodontal ligament and adjacent alveolar bone may originate from infections of the periodontium or tissues of the dental pulp. The simultaneous existence of pulpal problems and inflammatory periodontal disease can complicate diagnosis and treatment planning. The function of the tooth is severely compromised when either one of these is involved in the disease process. Treatment of disease conditions involving both of these structures can be challenging and frequently requires combining both endodontic and periodontal treatment procedures. This article presents cases of periodontitis associated with endodontic lesions managed by both endodontic and periodontal therapy.CitationAnand PS, Nandakumar K.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Tobacco use is the chief avoidable cause of death and illness in our society. Military leaders are concerned with rising medical costs and the related negative effects on combat readiness associated with tobacco use. Tobacco use cessation (TUC) programs available in the military services have not reached their full potential. Dental officers have an opportunity to assume a more active role as first-line providers in TUC programs.
This paper presents a model TUC program for use in military dental clinics. It emphasizes the dentist's role in directly prescribing pharmacologic agents in nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) combined with appropriate patient counseling. Other key elements of this TUC program include the non-threatening manner in which patients are offered access to TUC, its convenience when compared with other programs, and the minimal cost to implement this program.

Tooth Width and Arch Dimensions in Normal and Malocclusion Samples: An Odontometric Study
Authors: Hashim Hayder Abdullah , AL-Ghamdi Sarah 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish tooth width and arch dimensions in normal and malocclusion samples and to compare tooth width and arch dimensions between males and females in normal and malocclusion samples. A total of 120 pairs of orthodontic study casts were included in the study. An electronic digital caliper was used for the measurements. Descriptive statistics and the t-test were used for the statistical analysis of the data. Tooth width and arch dimensions were established in normal and malocclusion in the present study. Significant differences were found in tooth width between normal and malocclusion samples. However, no significant difference was observed in arch dimensions. Furthermore, there was statistical significant difference in tooth width between males and females where the males showed higher mean values. The same was true when arch dimensions were compared. The results of the current investigation are of great value to the anthropologist as well as to the orthodontist in understanding dimensional arch criteria and orthodontic arch wire selection. Furthermore, it helps the prosthodontist in the selection of the correct shape and size of stock impression trays and of suitable molds of artificial teeth for fixed and removable prostheses.

Authors: Büyükkurt M. Cemil , Tozoglu Sinan , Aras M. Hamdi , Yolcu Ümit 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Ectopic eruption of teeth into regions other than the oral cavity is rare although there have been reports of teeth in the nasal septum, mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, chin, and maxillary sinus. Occasionally, a tooth may erupt in the maxillary sinus and present with local sinonasal symptoms attributed to chronic sinusitis. We present a case of an ectopic maxillary third molar tooth that caused chronic sinusitis in the maxillary sinus.

Maxillary Myxoma: Surgical Treatment and Reconstruction with Buccal Fat Pad Flap: A Case Report
Authors: Öğütcen-Toller Melahat , Şener Ismail , Kasap Vildan , Çakir-Özkan Nilüfer 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Myxoma is a benign tumor that arises from mesenchymal tissue and is found less commonly in the bone than in soft tissue. The majority of bony myxomas occur in the jaws. When compared with other odontogenic tumors, myxoma of the jaws is a rare entity. Numerous types of treatment have been used for these tumors including simple curettage, enucleation, curettage with peripheral ostectomy, and en bloc resection with or without immediate reconstruction. The buccal fat pad (BFP) is a lobulated mass of fatty tissue in the oromaxillofacial region, which has long been a source of grafts in facial augmentation. A case of an odontogenic myxoma in the left maxillary molar area of a 34-year-old female that was treated by curettage and peripheral ostectomy is presented. The surgical defect was successfully repaired with a pedicled BFP flap.

Contemporary, Emerging, and Ratified Wireless Security Standards: An Update for the Networked Dental Office
Authors: Mupparapu Muralidhar 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Wireless networking is not new to contemporary dental offices around the country. Wireless routers and network cards have made access to patient records within the office handy and, thereby, saving valuable chair side time and increasing productivity. As is the case with any rapidly developing technology, wireless technology also changes with the same rate. Unless, the users of the wireless networking understand the implications of these changes and keep themselves updated periodically, the office network will become obsolete very quickly. This update of the emerging security protocols and pertaining to ratified wireless 802.11 standards will be timely for the contemporary dentist whose office is wirelessly networked. This article brings the practicing dentist up-to-date on the newer versions and standards in wireless networking that are changing at a fast pace. The introduction of newer 802.11 standards like super G, Super AG, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), and pre-n are changing the pace of adaptation of this technology. Like any other rapidly transforming technology, information pertaining to wireless networking should be a priority for the contemporary dentist, an eventual end-user in order to be a well-informed and techno-savvy consumer.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
In this study one-year clinical results of high-viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) (Fuji IX, A3, GC, Japan) were determined in class I and class II restorations in 68 primary molars with occlusal or approximal caries. Following caries removal and cavity preparation, the teeth were restored with Fuji IX. The restorations were evaluated according to the U.S. Public Health Service's (USPHS) criteria at the end of one year. Statistical analyses of the data obtained were analyzed using the X2 test. The evaluations showed no statistically significant difference between class I and class II restorations in terms of the color mismatch, anatomic form, marginal adaptation, and secondary caries (P>0.05), but they were statistically significant with regard to cavosurface marginal discoloration (P<0.05). At the end of one year, the success rate of the class I and class II restorations of the primary molars restored with Fuji IX was 94%.

Authors: Arigbede A.O. , Dosumu O.O. , Shaba O.P. , Esan T.A. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
Maxillectomy often results in a high level of morbidity with significant psychological and functional implications for the patient. Such disabilities include inability to masticate, deglutition, and speech disturbance. Unfortunately, little is known about the nature of the speech disturbance and the influence of the class of surgical defects in this group of patients. The aims of the present study were to assess the effectiveness of the maxillary obturator as a speech rehabilitation aid and to examine the influence of the classes of surgical defects on speech intelligibility (SI).

Materials and Methods
Twelve patients aged between 18 and 60 years with surgically acquired partial maxillary defects were included in this study. The patients were given immediate surgical obturators six to ten days after surgery, which were then converted to interim obturators by relining with tissue conditioner. Interim prostheses were used for two to three months until healing and resorption were found satisfactory after which the definitive obturators were fabricated. The SI test described by Plank et al.1 and Wheeler et al.8 was employed in this study. There were significant improvements in the mean SI score from 59.8% without prosthetic obturation, to 89.2% following interim obturation, and 94.7% following definitive obturation (p<0.005).
Nine patients (75%) had class I surgical defects, two patients (16.67%) had class II defects, while only one patient (8.33%) had a class VI surgical defect. None of the patients had class III, IV, or class V surgical defects. There was an improvement in the SI score from class I to class VI without obturation, after insertion of interim obturator, and after insertion of the definitive obturator.

Conclusion
Results support the widely held view that the maxillary obturator is a useful speech rehabilitation aid. It also shows immediate, interim, and definitive obturators are all important in the speech rehabilitation of patients with surgically acquired maxillary defects. Moreover SI is affected by the class of defect.

A Comparison Between Two Types of Radiographic Film for Accuracy of Measurements of Approximal Osseous Defects
Authors: Masood Farah , Angelopoulos Christos , Glaros Alan 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aim
The purpose of this study was to compare two types of conventional radiographic film: Ekta-speed plus and Insight (Eastman Kodak Co, Rochester NY, USA) for accuracy of measurements of approximal bone loss.

Methods and Materials
Four dried human mandibles with complete dentition were selected. Radiographic images were made with a standardized technique. Mesial and distal bone levels on the mandibular premolar and molar teeth were measured on the two types of radiographs (Ekta-speed plus and Insight) by nine observers. The data obtained by the observers were compared with the primary investigators’ corresponding measurements, which served as “the ground truth” for this study.

Results
The results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) demonstrated a significant difference for the Ektaspeed plus film (p = .001), but the difference was not clinically significant. The level of intra-rater reliability was high for the observers (0.969 to 0.990).

Conclusion
Performance of Ekta-speed plus and Insight films was found to be similar.

Penetration of Fluids into Peridontal Pockets Using a Powered Toothebrush/Irrigator Device
Authors: Thompson Ana L. , Brackett Martha Goêl , Drisko Connie L. , Waller Jennifer L. , Marshall Donna L. , Schuster George S. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This study was a single-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial. The researchers evaluated a powered brush/irrigating device (HydraBrush Oral Health System™; OHS) for its safety and ability to deliver a solution to the bottom of 5-6 mm pockets, compared to rinsing alone with a solution following brushing with a powered toothbrush (Sonicare Elite™ 7800; SE). An evaluation technique to measure the quantity and quality of solution able to enter the pocket was also introduced in this project.

Methods
Subjects were randomized in one of two-groups: brush plus simultaneous irrigation (OHS) versus brush plus rinsing (SE). Subjects used their devices at home for two weeks. At the measurement visit, subjects used the OHS to irrigate and brush simultaneously for 1 minute (30 seconds per each side of the mouth) with a 0.01% erythrosine disclosing solution in 10 oz of distilled water. Control subjects brushed for 2 minutes with a SE followed by a 1 minute rinse with an identical disclosing solution. A blinded evaluator collected six samples of approximately of 1 μL of sucular fluid from six 5-6 mm evaluation sites. This was accomplished by inserting a microcapillary tip with a 20 μL micropipette in the sulcus. Two-group repeated measures ANOVA was used to examine differences in two measures of the disclosing solution between OHS and SE subjects; the spectrometer reading of the disclosing solutions, and by visual inspection of the samples (positive/negative) to determine the presence or absence of solution in the samples. Subjects’ diaries were collected. Bleeding and discomfort during the evaluation period was reported.

Results
Visually, OHS had a significantly greater proportion of solution taken from the base of 5-6 mm sites than the SE (p=0.0001). However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups (p=.1359) in the spectrophotometer readings.

Conclusion
The experimental device is more efficient in delivering a solution to the base of 5-6 mm pockets than rinsing following use of a control powered toothbrush. Both devices have demonstrated they are safe and well accepted by patients. The technique developed provides a useful method for quantitative and qualitative studies of solutions from the base of periodontal pockets.

Gene Therapy in Periodontics: A Review and Future Implications
Authors: Karthikeyan B.V. , Pradeep A.R. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
New advancements in gene therapy continue to have a significant impact on dentistry since 1995. At the same time, periodontal disease has attracted the attention of scholars and research scientists as a global concern. With a better understanding of disease progression and new advancement in biological science, gene therapy has emerged to enhance existing therapy and has radically recast approaches to the management of periodontal disease. Since the advent of gene therapy in dentistry, significant progress has been made to control periodontal disease and reconstruct the dentoalveolar apparatus. However, to date, gene therapy methods have not been developed to control periodontal disease due to its multifactorial origin, complex genetic predisposition, and risk associated with it. This review article provides a brief insight into the ever-expanding field of gene therapy and its possible future implication in the field of periodontics. Most of the modalities described in this article are more theoretical and still in infancy stage except for genetically fabricated materials used for regenerative purposes.
