Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of three distinct file systems with two motion types—rotary and reciprocation—on the development of dentinal microcracks after root canal preparation using a stereomicroscope. Methods: Sixty mandibular molars with a curvature of 30° were decoronated and divided into three groups (Vortex Blue, Mtwo, and ProTaper Next) and two subgroups (rotary and reciprocating motions). The samples were then instrumented with the files, dyed with 1% methylene blue dye, and sectioned horizontally at 3, 6, and 9 mm from the root apex. The dentinal microcracks were inspected using a stereomicroscope at 40× magnification. One-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey tests were used to perform statistical analysis. Results: Crack formation was statistically significant at the 6-mm and 9-mm levels from the root apex in both motions (p < 0.05). Among all the file system, Vortex Blue caused the highest dentinal microcracks in both motions at 6 mm from the root apex. Conclusion: The reciprocating motion resulted in fewer dentinal microcracks than the rotary motion. All file systems caused significant dentinal microcracks at the curvature of the root canal during both motions. Dentinal microcrack formation was not significant at the root apex.

Abstract

Objective: To compare of pharyngeal airway dimensions and dentoskeletal changes after treatment with twin block (TWB) and monoblock (MB) appliance in growing patients. Methods: The sample was comprised of a total of 72 patients at the ages of 10 to 13. The TWB group consisted of 36 patients (22 females, 14 males, mean age: 11.9±1.5) and MB group consisted of 36 patients (18 females, 18 males, mean age: 11.8±1.2). The linear and angular measurements were evaluated on lateral cephalometric radiographs at beginning (T0) and end of treatment (T1). Results: The amounts of increase in the inferior airway space, L1xNB, IMPA and FMA measurements from T0 to T1 in the TWB group were significantly higher (p < 0.05).In the TWB group, the amounts of the increase in the soft palate thickness, distance between hyoid and C3, Co-A and Co-Gn measurements from T0 to T1 in the female patients were significantly higher (p < 0.05).In the MB group, the amounts of increase in the Upper adenoid thickness and Vertical airway length measurements from T0 to T1 in the female patients were significantly higher (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Both the MB and TWB appliances increase the pharyngeal airway dimensions, and the lower airway is most affected by the appliance type.

Abstract

Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome, also called as Gorlin Gotz syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the presence of multiple odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) of the jaw, basal cell carcinomas and skeletal anomalies. Presence of multiple OKCs is the first clinical manifestation in majority of the cases. Early diagnosis and treatment are of utmost importance in reducing the severity of this syndrome. We hereby report a rare case of Gorlin Goltz syndrome in a 28 years old female patient who presented with multiple cystic lesions in the jaws. Present case also highlights the clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features of this uncommon syndrome.

Abstract

The permanent mandibular first molar is frequently involved in conventional root canal treatment due to its function and position in the oral cavity. Additional root canals mandate accurate diagnosis and conservative management to prevent any procedural errors. The first independent middle mesial canal incidence was verified in mandibular molars in 1974, with a global incidence of 10.8–27.0%. Reporting of the middle distal canal in the endodontic literature is scarce, with an incidence of 0.2–3%. The present case report describes the endodontic management of an unusual permanent mandibular first molar with three canals in the mesial and distal roots, diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis. A dental operating microscope and multiple angulated radiographs were used to identify the unusual morphology, and this was confirmed with cone-beam computed tomography imaging. The access cavity was modified to a trapezoidal shape, and the pulp chamber was carefully explored following root dentinal maps to expose additional canals by ultrasonic troughing. Incorporating a dental operating microscope and cone-beam computed tomography imaging in routine endodontic cases facilitates a better understanding and visualization of the complex root canal anatomy, making even the management of endodontically challenging cases more predictable.

Abstract

Benign or malignant tumor is one of the frequent causes of resection of the mandible. The extent and location of the tumor decides the mode of treatment of the neoplastic lesion. Surgical removal of oral neoplasm leads to an extensive resection of the mandible along with the associated structures. Objective: This case report describes the use of palatal ramp prosthesis to guide the mandible during movements and restore a stable occlusal relationship with an additional acrylic buccal pad to achieve partial esthetics. Case Report: A 30-years-old female patient reported with the inability to chew food following the mandibular resection of the left side. History of the patient revealed left side segmental mandibulectomy following surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of mandible. This case report describes the use of palatal ramp prosthesis to guide the mandibular deviation. Conclusion: The clinician must keep in mind the prosthetic intervention until and unless the reconstruction of the defect is planned. The rehabilitation of the defect should be done as soon as possible to prevent the mandibular deviation.

Abstract

The treatment of skeletal and dental Class III malocclusions is a challenge for orthodontists, and one of the treatment alternatives for a non-growing patient is orthodontic camouflage treatment. Different approaches may result in different outcomes; therefore, a proper diagnosis and treatment plan are needed to avoid undesirable effects. In this case, a 21-year-old female patient presented with a skeletal Class III malocclusion, with a normal maxilla, prognathic mandible, moderate crowding, and an acceptable facial profile. The treatment modality for orthodontic camouflage treatment was a conventional orthodontic appliance with the extraction of mandibular first premolars to resolve crowding. At the end of the treatment, a Class I canine and incisor relationship was achieved while maintaining a Class III molar relationship. After 25 months of treatment, the patient had a more pleasant smile with improved functional occlusion.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of the concha bullosa (CB) and the nasal septum deviation (NSD) on the volume of the maxillary sinuses using ITK-SNAP (http://www.itksnap.org/ download/snap/). Methods: A total of 70 CBCT scans were analyzed. Three groups were evaluated; control (absence of CB), unilateral CB, and bilateral CB. Moreover, scans were classified according to the NSD into control (no deviation), mild, moderate, and severe NSD deviation. The volume of each maxillary sinus was calculated using the ITKSNAP. Intra-observer reliability analysis was performed by paired-sample t-test. Analysis of variance ANOVA and t-test were used to compare the mean bilateral maxillary sinus volumes. Results: Intra-observer reliability for the maxillary sinus volume exhibited no significant difference for both sides (p > 0.05). The mean volume of the right and left maxillary sinuses were 12.98±4.90 cm3 and 13.18±4.99 cm3, respectively. No significant difference between the volumes of both sides (p > 0.05) was found. The results showed no significant differences between the CB or NSD groups on both sides (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The two anatomical variations have no effect on the maxillary sinus volume. The open-source software ITK-SNAP is a valuable tool for volumetric analysis.

Abstract

Objective: The objective was to evaluate cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) indications and distribution in pediatric, adolescent and adult patients. Methods: A total of 1013 CBCT images were reviewed in detail from the electronic patient database. The patient’s age, gender, CBCT indications and acquisition sites, referral departments, reason for referral, incidental findings in the imaging field and the presence of artifacts in the CBCT images were all recorded. The European DIMITRA project recommendations were used to categorize CBCT indications in the children and the European Guidelines were used for adults. Results: From a total of 1013 images; 5.3% were from children, 9.2% were from adolescents and 85.5% from were adult patients. The most common indication was impacted permanent teeth in children (37%) and adolescents (34%) and impacted 3rd molars (28.7%) and implant dentistry (25.8%) in adults. While the most common regional image was taken from children (37%) and adolescents (43.4%), it was determined that CBCT was taken from the maxilla+mandible (37.7%) in adults. Conclusion: Our results show that while attention was paid to use CBCT in children and adolescents in accordance with clinical guidelines and taking into account radiation protection protocols, it was used in the adult patient group in cases where it is not superior to traditional methods.

Abstract

Objective: There are many different methods for removing caries. In this study, to evaluate four caries removal methods in terms of patient comfort and to evaluate the clinical success of restorations according to modified-USPHS criteria. Methods: In 31 patients with at least 4 Class II caries in their posterior teeth, 4 teeth were randomly divided into four groups and 4 different methods (conventional method, Carisolv, Papacarie, Er-Cr:YSGG Laser) were used for caries removal. Pain formation during caries removal was determined by FACE Pain Scale questionnaire. The restorations were controlled with Modified-USPHS criteria in 3-6-12 months period. Mann-Whitney U test for two-group comparisons, Kruskal Wallis H test for comparison of three or more groups, Wilcoxon Sign test was used to examine the changes according to time (p < 0.05). Results: A significant difference was found between conventional methods and alternative methods in terms of pain tolerance. In the 1-year clinical evaluation of the restorations, there was a significant decrease in the postoperative sensitivity in all groups. A significant difference was detected in Carisolv and laser groups between 6-months and 12-months for marginal coloration. A significant difference was found between the conventional and laser groups between 6-months and 12-months in terms of color match. Conclusion: The success of restorations, efficacy and efficiency of the methods used in the evaluation of all groups were found to be successful. In terms of patient comfort, all alternative methods gave positive results.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the DNA damage caused by ceramic bracket (Clear II, SIA Orthodontic Manufacturer Srl, Italy) on human buccal mucosal cells using comet assay and the mutagenicity of orthodontic bonding system (Transbond XT; 3M Unitek) by Ames test. Methods: In this study, twenty orthodontic patients were recruited from Specialist Orthodontic Clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. The Buccal mucosal cell sample was obtained from each patient at three time points-before (TO), after one month (T1) and after two months (T2) of ceramic bracket placement for performing comet assay. The spot test version of Ames test was performed using four Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) tester strains (TA 98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537) for mutagenicity testing. Total comet score (TCS) and damage frequency (DF) were used to determine the DNA damage using non-parametric Friedman test followed by multiple pairwise comparison. The Ames test was analysed by a non-statistical method based on revertant growth ring formation. Results: There was no significant change of both TCS and DF between T0 and T1, but both parameters increased significantly from T0 to T1 and from T1 to T2. Non-statistical analysis was carried out to evaluate the results of Ames test based on the formation of revertant colony growth ring. None of the S. Typhimurium tester strains showed any revertant growth ring formation around the light cure adhesive primer. Conclusion: Ceramic bracket does not cause any DNA damage on human buccal mucosal cells and light cure adhesive primer is non mutagenic under the present test conditions.
