Authors: Hathiramani Sánchez. Mónica , Palma Lopez Silvia , Pizarro Domínguez Carlos , Rubio Almendáriz Carmen , Hardisson de la Torre Arturo , López Alarcón María Dolores 
Published: August 2023

Introducción: La fenilcetonuria es el trastorno hereditario más frecuente del metabolismo de los aminoácidos y su abordaje suele centrarse en dietas restringidas en fenilalanina, un aminoácido presente en el edulcorante aspartamo habitualmente usado como excipiente en tecnología farmacéutica.
Objetivo: El objetivo principal es la revisión de los medicamentos sin receta comercializados en España hasta marzo de 2023 y que contienen aspartamo en su composición.
Método: Se realizó una revisión en la base de datos BOT plus de todos los medicamentos comercializados en España que contienen aspartamo. Se seleccionaron solo los MSR. Se consultaron las fichas técnicas en el Centro de información online de medicamentos de la AEMPS (CIMA), y los datos obtenidos se registraron en una tabla.
Resultados: Se obtuvieron 570 medicamentos; 58 eran MSR. Cuando exista petición de MSR con aspartamo en pacientes con fenilcetonuria, en el SIF, tras su evaluación, en el 100% de los casos, el farmacéutico aplicando el Servicio de Indicación Farmacéutica podría indicar un MSR alternativo, con el mismo principio activo pero sin aspartamo como excipiente.
Conclusiones: La actuación del farmacéutico comunitario para aplicar el SIF es muy importante en pacientes con fenilcetonuria. Existen medicamentos que no requieren prescripción y se pueden indicar en estos pacientes. El farmacéutico debe tener a su disposición las herramientas necesarias que le faciliten el SIF con este tipo de enfermos.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT
Background: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the distances between the roots of maxillary incisors and the nasopalatine canal and the floor of the nasal cavity, and the buccal cortical bone thickness at the apices of the roots of these teeth by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in children in the permanent dentition period.
Materials and Methods: CBCT images of 49 patients aged 6-14 years were evaluated. In the sagittal plane, the distances of the apices of the maxillary central teeth with the nasopalatine canal and with the floor of the nasal cavity were evaluated. Buccal cortical bone thickness at the apex of the roots of maxillary anterior teeth was examined. These data were compared in terms of gender and whether the teeth had open or closed apices.
Results: When the mean distance of the maxillary central teeth (11,21) to the nasopalatine canal was evaluated in terms of the open/closed apex status of the teeth and gender, there was no significant relationship (p>0.05). Among the maxillary anterior teeth (11, 21,12, 22), the root apex of tooth 22 was the farthest from the floor of the nasal cavity and the root apex of tooth 12 was the closest. It was found that the mean buccal cortical bone thickness of maxillary anterior teeth 11 and 21 with open apex was significantly higher than those with closed apex (p
Effects of pH, titratable acidity and calcium concentration of non alcoholic carbonated beverages on enamel erosion: an in vitro study.
Authors: Saxena S. 
Published: August 2023

Objective: Beverage acidity has been measured routinely using the pH value. However, titratable acidity is thought to be a true indicator of beverage erosive potential. It has also been reported that experimental addition of calcium in beverages can reduce the progression of erosion. This study was carried out to investigate effects the of pH, titratable acidity and calcium concentration of non alcoholic carbonated beverages on enamel erosion of extracted human premolar teeth.
Method: The erosive potential of 13 carbonated beverages and control was characterized based on analysis of pH, titratable acidity, and calcium concentrations. This was followed by ename demineralization tests. Baseline and post-immersion measurements of enamel microhardness were carried out using Vickers microhardness tester. Mean and standard deviation for each parameter was calculated. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA), paired t test, pearson's correlation, and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were employed for statistical analysis. P values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Result: Among the beverages, Pepsi had the lowest pH while Sip-on-appy had the highest pH. Titratable acidity was lowest for Limca and highest for Red Bull. Calcium concentration was lowest in Limca and Sprite and highest in Appy fizz. Statistically significant negative correlation between pH and percentage reduction of enamel microhardness, and between calcium concentration and percentage reduction of enamel microhardness was found. Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis revealed pH as the best predictor for erosive potential.
Conclusion: All beverages have potential for enamel erosion. Beverages with lower pH and less calcium are more erosive.

Published: August 2023

Objective: One of the most important components of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning is an evaluation of the patient's soft tissue profile. An assessment of the nasolabial angle is a vital component of this evaluation. The purpose of this study was to establish norms for the nasolabial angle of an adult Nigerian population; compare the male and female values and to compare the values obtained for Nigerians with those reported for other populations.
Method: Lateral cephalometric radiographs of one hundred students (44 males and 56 females) of the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, aged 18-25years were taken. Selected subjects were of Nigerian ancestry with normal occlusion. The radiographs were manual ly t raced and the nasolabial angle of each subject measured.
Result: A mean value of 84.35° +13.71° was computed for the entire sample. No statistically significant difference was observed between the male and female values (p>0.05), although 0 0 the males recorded a lower nasolabial angle (83.70 ) than the females (85.28 ).The nasolabial angle recorded in this study was similar to that reported for South African blacks, but much lower than that reported for Caucasian populations.Conclusion: The mean nasolabial angle of 84.35 + 13.71 was observed in the Nigerian population studied. Sexual differences were not observed; however, the values observed in this study differ from that reported for Caucasians and other racial groups.

Published: August 2023

Objective: To identify the various misconceptions that still exist among teachers about oral health practices and their incorrect ideas about dental conditions.
Method: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out between May and September 2008 among 640 primary school teachers in Oredo Local Government area of Benin City, Nigeria. Data collection was by the use of self –administered questionnaire.
Result: More than a third of the respondents (39.6%) felt that tooth decay is caused by worms, 0.3% felt it is caused by black magic. While 11.9% felt gingival bleeding is caused by worms. Tooth loss was considered a natural process by 43% of the respondents and 53.1% did not feel it is possible to keep all the teeth in the dentition for life. In addition, 23.2% did not consider tooth loss a serious health problem. Traditional medicine was used for toothache and gingival bleeding in 5.0% and 2.6% of cases respectively, while 6.5% reported self medication. Improvement of oral hygiene by toothbrushing was considered ineffective in the prevention of gum disease by 15.3% of the respondents.
Conclusion: This survey revealed that a few misconceptions still exist among teachers about what constitutes appropriate oral health practices and correct knowledge of oral diseases and remedies. These misconceptions should be corrected to prevent the teachers form impacting incorrect knowledge on the children they teach. In service training of the teachers in the area of oral health is therefore recommended.

Published: August 2023

Objective: The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effectiveness of paracetamol and ibuprofen in the pharmacologic management of acute post-operative dental pain.Method: This study employed the visual analogue scale to measure the effectiveness of single doses of ibuprofen and paracetamol over a six-hour period, following a third molar surgery in a homogenous study population, matched for age, body mass index (BMI) and gender. Alarms were set to remind patients to score pain intensity at time point 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 hours, post-dosing. A measure of the difference between the pain scores at the various time interval and that at the basal level (time 0) is the pain intensity difference (PID) at the various time intervals. Data obtained were analysed, using the SPSS version 16.0. (Chicago, IL, USA). Inferential statistics used include Chi squared test and a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). P<0.05 was considered significant.Result: Ibuprofen showed a statistically significant superiority over paracetamol from time 2.5 hours to the sixth hour (P<0.05). There is no significant difference between paracetamol and placebo (P>0.05). The difference per dose prices of ibuprofen and paracetamol is negligible. Probability of developing significant pain following use of paracetamol is greater than 0.9, the relative risk is 1.10 and the odds 10.3, C.I. 95%.Conclusion: This study concludes that ibuprofen is significantly more efficacious than paracetamol in the management of post-surgical dental pain and suggests that paracetamol should not be prescribed as a sole agent for analgesia after a third molar surgery.

Published: August 2023

Objective: Psychological impact of poor dento-facial aesthetics constitutes a major part of the low quality of life in maxillectomy patients. The purpose of this study was to present the aesthetic outcome following prosthetic rehabilitation after ablative maxillary surgery.Method: All consecutive patients that had surgery for tumours affecting the upper jaw and gave their consent were included in the study. Classification of maxillectomy was based on the Brown's classification. Facial attractiveness after final prosthetic rehabilitation was graded by two independent observers with a modified Liekert scale into four grades. For the purpose of comparison of facial attractiveness, the patients were divided into 2 groups: those below 2A and those above 2A.Result: Seventeen patients with tumours affecting the upper jaw were operated. Ten (58.8%) were females and 7 (41.2%) were males. The age range was 6-65 years, mean (SD), 37.6 (18.5) years. Two (11.8%) cases were children. There were 3 (17.6%) cases in the level 1, one case was 1A, two cases were 1B; 11 (64.7%) cases in level 2, 8 (47.1%) cases were 2A, 3 (17.6%) cases were 2B and 3 (17.6%) cases in level 3. Two (11.8%) patients, both in the level 2B had moderately attractive appearances and also, 2(11.8%) patients in the levels 2B and 3B respectively had least attractive appearances.Conclusion: Majority of our patients had resections at levels 2A and below and there was no obvious difference between the two groups, immediate prosthetic obturation may have minimized collapse of midface in those above 2A.

Background: Assessment of blood pressure is the most common diagnostic procedure performed in the outpatient clinic. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of the wrist-cuff electronic oscillometric device with the universally-accepted gold standard measurement made with Korotkoff sound technique mercury sphygmomanometer.Materials and Methods: This was a randomized, crossover study with a total of 60 subjects. All subjects were at least 30 years of age. Three blood pressure readings were recorded for each subject, two with a wrist-cuff device and one with a mercury sphygmomanometer by the secondary investigator. The order of the 3 readings were determined by chance.Results: Patients (32 women, 28 men) aged 30-94 (mean age = 55, SD =16) years were included in the study. Based on the paired-sample t-test, the data provided strong evidence that there was no statistically significant difference in systolic or diastolic blood pressure readings between the wrist-cuff electronic oscillometric device and mercury sphygmomanometer.Conclusions: The evaluation of blood pressure remains a basic diagnostic step in every clinical practice as it positively imparts the clinical well-being of the patient. It is, therefore, important to maintain a good degree of accuracy and reliability in the blood pressure monitoring device.

Authors: Loto A.O. , Awotile A.O. 
Published: August 2023

Introduction: The teaching, learning and practice of rubber dam use are incorporated into dental schools' curricula all over the world. Its usage in operative dentistry and endodontics is highly recommended. Its merits include moisture control and soft tissue retraction leading to better access and visualization of teeth. It also enhances cooperation among children. However, previous studies had shown very low usage of rubber dam by post doctoral dentists. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of teaching, learning and usage of rubber dam during undergraduate studies on the frequency of use of rubber dam post-graduation.
Materials and methods: This survey was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out amongst dentists working with private, federal and state governments' hospitals in Lagos State. A convenient simple random sampling was used to select the participants. Newly structured self administered questionnaires were used. They were mostly closed with a few open ended questions. The questionnaires contained fifteen questions based on biodata, knowledge and usage of rubber dam in clinical practices. These were fully completed and returned by consented respondents. Data collected were analyzed by Statisitical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 20 edition. Univariate analysis was done using frequency, percentages, and chart while bivariate analysis was carried out by cross tabulation of categorical variables with Chi-square, p-value ≤0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.
Results: The total number of respondents was 135 consisting of 50 males and 85 females. Of the 135 respondents, only 8(5.9%) routinely used rubber dam, which is in contrast to 120 (88.9%) and 127(94.1%) that had high knowledge on rubber dam and its merits respectively. Reasons for non-usage included non availability of rubber dam kit in hospital 120(94.5%) and lack of skills 11(8.7%). Test of association showed that knowledge of rubber dam system was significantly affected by age of respondents (p-value =0.001), designation (p-value=0.008) and years of experience (p-value= 0.010). In addition, use of rubber dam was significantly different based on respondents designation.
Conclusion: The usage of rubber dam amongst dentists working with the federal and state governments in Lagos State was very low in spite of their high knowledge on its merits. Therefore, there is the need to develop a culture of rubber dam use in clinical practice amongst dentists.
