The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prepared dentin surface and to determine whether or not it is possible to seal the dentinal tubules, after different cavity disinfectant applications.  Thirty mandibular molars were sectioned parallel to the occlusal plane to expose the midcoronal dentin. All of the teeth were divided into five groups (n = 6 per group): (1) in group OZ, the dentin surfaces were exposed to ozone gas from the Ozonytron XP delivery system, (2) in group ED, the dentin surfaces were irradiated with an Er:YAG laser, (3) in group ND, the dentin surfaces were irradiated with an Nd:YAG laser, (4) in group CHX, the dentin surfaces were treated with a 2% chlorhexidine solution, and (5) in the control group, no treatment was applied.  Significant differences among the test groups were also observed in the scanning electron microscopy evaluation (P < .05). Scanning electron microscopy showed that the effect of laser energy on dentin varied from cratering, poring, fissuring, fracturing and cracking up to melting; also, the dentinal tubules were not sealed, in contrast with the control group.  No formation of smear layer and open dentinal tubules were obtained by using Er:YAG laser irradiation. Clinical article(J Int Dent Med Res 2013; 6: (2), pp. 65-68)

Candida is the most common fungal pathogen of oral cavity in humans. It exists as a commensal inhabitant of mucosal surfaces in most healthy individuals. Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontium with multifactorial etiology. There is a positive relationship between periodontal inflammation and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Diabetes mellitus can impair the function of polymorphonuclear leukocytes which may predispose diabetic patients to greater risk of diseases including periodontal disease and oral candidal infections . The objective of this study is to evaluate the oral candidal carriage in the subgingival sites and also to evaluate the predominant candidal subtypes in non-diabetic individuals with periodontitis, diabetic individuals with periodontitis and healthy individuals without periodontitis.

The aim of this study was to identify the oral health attitudes and behavior among dental students and analyse the variations in oral health attitudes based on the level of education, United Arab Emirates.  This study included 279 dental students. The Hiroshima University – Dental Behavior Inventory (HU-DBI) was used to assess oral health attitudes and behavior of the participants. Data were tabulated and analyzed by using Chi-square test, and statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.  Students from the higher years had better oral health attitudes, behavior, especially towards gingival health, oral hygiene practice, tooth brushing and visiting the dentist.  In this study the overall knowledge of oral health was good, even though there were deficits in their knowledge in a few areas. The oral health attitudes and behavior of dental students improved with increasing level of education. Clinical article (J Int Dent Med Res 2013; 6: (2), pp. 84-87)

Open bite is a lack of vertical overlap of the anterior teeth in centric occlusion. Diastema is defined as no contacts between proximal teeth. Dentofacial discrepancies negatively affect the speech, masticatory function and aesthetics. Where orthodontic and surgical treatments can not be applied, it is inevitable to carry out the restorative treatments to accomplish the function and the aesthetics. This clinical report presents the rehabilitation of a bilateral open bite with midline maxillary and mandibular diastemas using zirconia ceramic restorations.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of temperature and pH on corrosion resistance of Ni-Cr and Co-Cr dental alloys used for fixed and removable partial dentures using potentiodynamic polarization and surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy. The three materials analyzed were Ni-Cr and CoCr dental alloys: Kera NH®, Kera 501® and PD Casta H®, which were tested in Fusayama-Meyer artificial saliva with different values of temperature and pH. Our results have shown that Kera 501® and PD Casta H® alloys , which contain Co and a high Cr content, shows the best corrosion resistance in Fusayama-Meyer artificial saliva compare with that of Kera NH® alloy. In acidifid saliva and artificial saliva at 37 °C, the corrosion resistance of Kera NH®, Kera 501® and PD Casta H® alloys was low compare with that of referance solution, but the effect of temperature and pH on the corrosion resistance of Co-Cr alloy was low compared with that of Ni-Cr alloy. On the basis of the results obtained, our advise would be to recommend to avoid an increase in the oral temperature and reduced the taking of acid food which are likely to lower the oral pH and enhance the corrosion of the Ni-Cr and Co-Cr alloys when the fixed and removable partial dentures treatment.Experimental article (J Int Dent Med Res 2013; 6: (1), pp. 9-14)

The purpose of this study was to assess, by means of structured questionnaire, dental students' attitudes to the use of rubber dam. Cross-sectional study, with anonymous structured questionnaires was distributed to final year dental students in Ajman University of Science and Technology in Feb 2012. Information sought included attitudes to the use of rubber dam for a variety of operative and endodontic treatment. The sample consisted of 75 dental students (response rate 83%). Rubber dam was routinely used by 94% of the respondents during root canal treatment on molar teeth of adult patients, but only 73% of respondents had used rubber dam on child patients (P < 0.05). Forty five percent of the respondents (n=34) who placed composite in anterior teeth never used rubber dam for this procedure. However, 44% of the students felt that the application of rubber dam is difficult. Around 97% of the respondents felt that patients do not like rubber dam. The findings revealed that our students showed positive attitude towards the use of rubber dam. However there is a room for improvement to overcome the difficulty in rubber dam application by increasing the preclinical training on phantom heads and hands-on training in clinics particularly for operative procedures and in pediatric patients in order to improve treatment quality and patient safety.

The purpose of this case report was to present a case of a recurrent peripheral odontogenic fibroma, which required periodontal plastic surgery, due to resultant esthetic complications. This report describes a case of removal and biopsy of a large gingival lesion over the left maxillary central incisor, which recurred, thus requiring more aggressive treatment, followed by esthetic periodontal plastic surgery. After fourteen months, there was uneventful healing of the gingival and alveolar tissues with no further recurrence noted. The attempt to create satisfactory esthetics was achieved in cases where aggressive surgery may be necessary. The peripheral odontogenic fibroma should be removed entirely, due to its high propensity for recurrence. Attempts at regeneration and cosmetic enhancement may create a more satisfactory outcome for the patient in cases where aggressive surgery may be necessary.

Tooth wear and discoloration is a normal process in the life time of an individual. Severe wear and discoloration can result in cosmetic concern and loss of vertical dimension. These problems can best be treated by giving fixed prosthesis. This case provides the management using the concept of Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Dentistry (MICD) with Ceramopolymer as the restorative material. Computer Guided Occlusal Analysis (CGOA) was used for establishing uniform occlusal force distribution. Case report (J Int Dent Med Res 2013; 6: (1), pp. 31-35)

Odontogenic infection may be dangerous; especially when life-threatening complications occur. Infection spreads through the bone and periosteum toward nearby or more distant structures and spaces. Canine fossa abscess is an odontogenic infection that can lead to life-threatening complications. Successful treatment requires early recognition, determination of etiological factors, and proper medical and surgical management. The aim of this paper is to emphasize different and rare etiological factors that can play a role in odontogenic abscesses that can lead to complications.
