Abstract

Dentoalveolar traumas can lead to various injuries that may result in tooth loss. A suitable treatment plan and appropriate interventions should be performed to maintain the dental function and aesthetics, especially for the anterior teeth. Objective: To report the interventions performed on dentoalveolar trauma on a 9-years old male patient who presented with gingival immersion of the right maxillary central incisor and missing a tooth due to a falling accident. Case Report: The patient had multiple traumatic injuries. The medical and dental history was taken, and the clinical and radiologic examinations were performed. The patient underwent surgical intervention and splinting to take the intruded tooth back into its normal place. Moreover, the teeth with lateral luxation underwent apexification and composite filling. Also, endodontic treatment was performed on the coronal segment of the tooth with root fractures. The patient underwent clinical and radiographic follow-up for 24 months to assure the treatment efficiency and prevent further complications. Conclusion: It was shown that the interventions performed could preserve the function and aesthetics of the patient’s teeth, which can directly impact his quality of life and emotional state in adolescence.

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the surface roughness of three anterior composite resins with different filler size, rate, and shape after brushing for 5000, 10000, and 20000 cycles with a whitening dentifrice. Methods: 44 disk-shaped specimens of each material (5mm diameter, 2mm depth) G-aenial Anterior, Harmonize, Asteria were prepared and divided into four groups according to the brushing cycles (Initial, 5000, 10000, and 20000 cycles). Initial surface roughness values (Ra-values) were assessed using a profilometer and measurements were repeated after each brushing cycle. 4 specimens from each composite resin were observed by scanning electron microscopy before and after brushing. The data were analyzed by Shapiro Wilk., ANOVA, Tukey, Friedman, and Wilcoxon tests (p<0.05). Results: The Ra-values of all groups increased in proportion to the number of brushing cycles (p<.05). The Ra-values of both Asteria and Harmonize were significantly lower than the G-aenial after all brushing cycles (p<0.05). Conclusion: All of the materials demonstrated surface irregularities after 20.000 brushing cycles corresponding to 24 months. The degree of surface alteration increased with brushing time and depends on the composite’s filler rate, size, and shape.

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two polishing techniques and 10.000 thermocycles on the color stability, surface roughness, and hardness of two nanohybrid (Tetric N-Ceram, Escom100) and one bulkfill (Filtek) resin composites. Methods: A total of 60 specimens were prepared using three resin composites and 20 discs from each composite. Specimens for each composite were randomly divided into two different polishing groups (Optrapol rubber and Sof-Lex discs) (n=10). Surface roughness (Ra, μm), microhardness (VHN), and color change (ΔE00) values were measured pre- and post-thermocycling. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate the effect of independent variables. Bonferroni test was used for multiple comparisons (p<0.05). Results: Escom100 with Sof-Lex found the highest mean ΔE00 and Filtek bulk-fill composite with Optrapol found the lowest mean ΔE00. Escom100 with Sof-Lex exhibited the lowest Ra values in all groups. Sof-Lex discs exhibited smoother surfaces than Optrapol in all groups.. Among the polishing groups, Optrapols’ VHN values were higher than Sof-Lex’s (p<0.05). Conclusions: Filtek bulk-fill with Optrapol in terms of color change and microhardness; Escom100 (nanohybrid) with Sof-Lex in terms of smoothness, can be recommended for clinical use. After thermocycling, surface roughness values increased and surface hardness values decreased in all composite resins.

Abstract

The success of orthodontic treatment depends upon the accurate assessment of mesiodistal widths of unerupted canines and premolars in mixed dentition stage. There are several methods available for mixed dentition analysis with dubious reliability in our population. Objective: To statistically develop new prediction equations for Pakistani subjects to predict the widths of unerupted upper canines and premolars (U345) and lower canine and premolars (L345) using mesiodistal widths of lower incisors (I1I2) and lower incisors and first molars (I1I2M1) and compare their performance with previously established methods of Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston. Methods: Study was conducted using the data from the dental casts of 200 Pakistani subjects with permanent teeth. Linear regression analysis was used to develop general and gender specific equations for estimation of U345 and L345 using the combined mesiodistal width I1I2 and I1I2M1. The actual and estimated sum of of U345 and L345 as determined by Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston and those from prediction equations based on I1I2 and I1I2M1 were compared using the paired sample t-test. Results: There were signficant differences in the actual mesiodistal widths of U345 and L345 and those calculated using Tanaka-Johnston and Moyers methods. Newly developed equations based on I1I2 and I1I2M1 performed better than the Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston methods in both the arches. Conclusion: Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston analyses generally overestimated U345 and L345 dimensions. The newly developed prediction equations based on I1I2 and I1I2M1 performed better for the prediction of mesiodistal widths of U345 and L345.

Abstract

Smile aesthetic perceptions could have different impact on orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment management and options to the patient. Objectives: To determine the laypersons’ smile aesthetic perceptions; irrespective of age and gender, of gummy smile and its treatment need and benefit on three different facial types. Methods: Smiling frontal photographs of a male and female subject were altered to simulate three facial types (brachyfacial, mesofacial and dolichofacial) with different levels of gummy smile increase from 2.0mm to 5.0mm. A total of 150 laypersons ranging from 18-45 years old were randomly approached to rate the photographs. Perceptions differences were assessed using visual analog scale for each group. Results: Repeated measure ANOVA was applied and showed that the mean level of attractiveness among three different facial types based on gummy smile levels was not statistically significant. This suggests that the facial type does not influence the laypersons’ ratings on gummy smile level. Further test found that the laypersons perceived 4.0mm gummy smile as borderline attractive while at 5.0mm is considered as unaesthetic. Chi Square test showed that there was statistically significant difference between the treatment need and attractiveness scoring (p=<0.01) whereby the treatment benefit is dependent on attractiveness ratings of gummy smile variables. Conclusion: Different levels of gingival show affect the laypersons’ perception of smile attractiveness, regardless of the facial type. The higher the level of gingival show, as seen in 4-5mm categories is perceived to be unattractive and thus, more likely to benefit from treatment.

Abstract

Drug-influenced gingival enlargement (DIGE) among hypertensive patients is commonly associated with antihypertensive drugs such as calcium channel blockers (CCBs). Immune response alteration is one of the proposed mechanisms for DIGE. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) in saliva which involves in defense mechanism was shown to be affected in patients with DIGE. Objective: This study aimed to determine the association of salivary IgA level with DIGE. Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 47 hypertensive patients who had consumed antihypertensive drugs for at least 3 months. Twenty-one (44.7%) males and 26 (55.3%) females had participated in this study. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. The p-value of less than 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval is considered statistically significant. Results: Eighty-three percent and 17.0% of hypertensive patients were on CCBs and non- CCBs respectively. Amlodipine was found to be the most common (55.3%) antihypertensive drug consumed. Twenty- one (44.7%) patients presented with DIGE. The salivary IgA level was significantly decreased (p=0.03) among hypertensive patients with DIGE [Median 4.9 ng/mL (IQR 5.268)] compared to those without DIGE [median 15.03 ng/mL (IQR 32.246)]. Conclusion: This data indicates the level of salivary IgA was significantly affected in patients with DIGE which may compromise the defense mechanism of saliva.

Abstract

Objectives: This study evaluated the perceived positive and negative general and oral health outcomes of patients after using mandibular distal extension partial removable dental prostheses (PRDPs) and assessed the effect of recall procedures on the treatment outcomes. Methods: A questionnaire comprising 20 items, pertaining to perceived positive and negative outcomes related to the patients’ perception scores after using mandibular distal extension PRDPs, was designed. The patients were recalled 1 week and 3 months after the insertion of the mandibular distal extension PRDPs. The perception scores were obtained, and the mean values calculated at 1 week and 3 months were compared using the paired t-test. Results: A significant difference in the mean scores was observed for the perceived positive outcomes (p = 0.018) but not for the perceived negative outcomes at 1 week and 3 months. Most patients agreed or strongly agreed with the statements concerning the perceived positive outcomes and disagreed or strongly disagreed with those concerning the perceived negative outcomes after 3 months. Conclusion: Most patients were satisfied with their mandibular distal extension PRDPs in terms of the perceived positive outcomes and disagreed with the statements concerning the perceived negative outcomes. The questionnaire was deemed appropriate for measuring the patients’ perceptions about the possible outcomes of using mandibular distal extension PRDPs.

Abstract

Mental illness is a psychological impairment involving emotions, cognitions, and behaviors, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Dental students may encounter patients with underlying psychological problems during their training. Objective: To evaluate dental students’ perception, attitude, and willingness to interact with patients with mental illness. Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted involving undergraduates at three dental institutions in Malaysia using an online self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive data analysis was conducted and statistical analysis using chi-square test was done for associations (p < 0.05). Results: The response rate was 63% (225); the majority of respondents were female (77.8%) and of Malay ethnicity (88.4%). Our study found that positive attitudes are independent of respondents’ sociodemographic profiles. No significant differences in attitudes were portrayed by gender, race, or history of mental illness. Our findings suggest that respondents’ place of study, gender, and previous encounter with mental illness are associated with willingness to interact with patients (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Dental students displayed positive attitudes and willingness to interact with patients with mental illness. However, to further improve students’ attitudes and enhance their readiness to interact with patients with mental illness, more mental health-related educational programs should be introduced in the dental curricula.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the cortical and trabecular mandibular bone morphology of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and control group utilizing fractal dimension analysis (FDA) and different panoramic radiomorphometric indices through digital panoramic radiographic images (DPRIs). Methods: The study included 57 patients for the type 1 DM group (25 male and 32 female with a mean age of 11.5±2.4 years) and 57 patients for the control group (28 male and 29 female with a mean age of 10.5±2.1 years). The type 1 DM group was divided into the well-controlled, moderately-controlled, and poorly-controlled subgroups based on HbA1c. Mandibular cortical width (MCW) (according to Lengerton et al.) and panoramic mandibular index (PMI) (according to Benson et al.) were measured, mandibular cortical index (MCI) (according to Klemetti et al) and simple visual estimation (SVE) (according to Lee et al.) were evaluated, and FDA was conducted according to White and Rudolph, resulting in three areas of interest (IAs) being obtained in all of the DPRIs. Results: There was no significant difference between type 1 DM group and control according to the mean MCW, mean PMI measurements, MCI and SVE. The mean FD values were not significantly different between type 1 DM group and the control and between type 1 DM subgroups and control. Conclusion: This study revealed no cortical and trabecular bone changes in mandibula in children and adolescents with type 1 DM compared to the control group. In addition, metabolic control states of DM did not affect the bone structure.

Abstract

Objectives: This study compared the amount of apically extruded debris and irrigant using VDW.ROTATE instruments with different kinematics (continuous rotation and reciprocation motion) and the ProTaper Gold system. Methods: Sixty extracted mandibular premolar teeth were selected. The teeth were prepared for the agar gel model. The roots were randomly divided into three groups (n=20). In two groups, the root canals were instrumented using the following movement kinematics: VDW.ROTATE reciprocation motion and continuous rotation. In the other group, root canals were prepared with ProTaper Gold. Apically extruded debris and irrigant during instrumentation were collected into preweighed Eppendorf tubes and were assessed with an electronic balance. All procedures were performed in a 35oC hot water bath. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk and Kruskal–Wallis tests at a 5% significance level. Results: ROTATE-Reciprocation extruded the least amount of debris, but this finding was not significant when compared with the amount of debris and irrigant extruded by the ProTaper Gold and ROTATE-Rotation (p>.05). Conclusion: All instrumentation kinematics were associated with apical debris and irrigant extrusion. Movement kinematics did not affect the amount of apically extruded debris and irrigants when using VDW.ROTATE instruments.
