Abstract

Objectives: Tooth loss is a common oral health issue in the general population, with its prevalence increasing significantly with age. Tooth loss that is not immediately rehabilitated with dentures can lead to disruption of the occlusion pattern. This condition may be affected by the position of the condyle, but it can also lead to morphological alterations of the mandibular condyle. If this condition is left untreated for an extended period, these changes can significantly impact the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Materials and Methods: The sample used in this study was secondary data from panoramic radiographs of bilateral partially edentulous patients who had high-quality radiograph standards. Results: The findings of this study demonstrate the alteration in mandibular condyle position, with 57.7% of cases showing anterior position and 13.7% showing retroposition in patients with bilateral partial edentulism. The most dominant condyle morphology distribution was found to be the pointed shape (36.3%), whereas the least was the flat shape (5.7%). Conclusion: In this study, the results showed that the anterior position and pointed shape were the most common position and morphology of the condyle. The distribution of this position was found to be higher in women than in men, with hormonal, anatomical, and habitual factors influencing the distribution of pressure on the TMJ.

Abstract

Background: Silicone base dental holders have been introduced in periapical radiography to improve ergonomic and patient comfort. However, repeated intraoral use raises safety concerns related to microbial contamination due to direct contact with saliva and the potential for biofilm formation. This study aimed to evaluate the sterility of silicone based dental holders following clinical use, routine antiseptic washing, and seven days of storage. Methods: This experimental laboratory study employed a post-test with control group design. Thirty silicone dental holder samples were divided into an intervention group (used clinically; n = 15), and control group (unused; n= 15). After clinical use, intervention samples was washed using antiseptic soap according to standard hospital procedures and stored in sterile containers at room temperature for seven days. Sterility testing was performed using Heart Infusion Broth (HIB) culture medium incubated at 37°C for five days. Bacterial growth was assessed based on medium turbidity. Results: All samples (100%) in both groups showed turbidity in the HIB medium, indicating bacterial contamination despite prior antiseptic washing. The findings demonstrate that manual cleansing with antiseptic soap alone is insufficient to eliminate microbial colonization on silicone dental holders. Conclusions: Routine antiseptic washing and short term storage were insufficient to ensure the sterility of silicone dental holders. These finding highlight the need for more effective sterilization protocols to support safe reuse in periapical radiographic practice.

Objectives:Tooth loss is a common oral health issue in the general population, with its prevalence increasing significantly with age. Tooth loss that is not immediately rehabilitated with dentures can lead to disruption of the occlusion pattern. This condition may be influenced by the position of the condyle and can also result in morphological alterations of the mandibular condyle. If left untreated for an extended period, these changes may significantly impact the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Materials and Methods:The sample used in this study consisted of secondary data obtained from panoramic radiographs of bilaterally partially edentulous patients with high-quality radiographic standards. Results:The findings of this study demonstrate alterations in mandibular condyle position, with 57.7% of cases showing an anterior position and 13.7% showing a retroposition in patients with bilateral partial edentulism. The most dominant condylar morphology observed was the pointed shape (36.3%), whereas the least common was the flat shape (5.7%). Conclusion:The results of this study indicate that the anterior position and pointed shape were the most common condylar position and morphology. This distribution was found to be higher in women than in men, with hormonal, anatomical, and habitual factors influencing the distribution of pressure on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
