Abstract

Fenestration term is derived from the Latin word ‘fenestra’ means ‘window’. Gingival fenestration is not found in routine while its actual occurrence is assumed to be higher. Additionally, if these mucogingival defects persist for a longer duration it may lead to adverse outcomes like compromised esthetics, hypersensitivity, plaque and calculus deposition, and susceptibility to dental caries. Present cases of gingival fenestration were successfully treated by using full-thickness flap elevation with connective tissue graft placement. Two cases were presented with the accumulation of plaque and calculus and having gingival fenestration to the respective sites. After phase 1 therapy, full thickness flap was raised and a connective tissue graft was placed beneath the fenestrated area. The successful results were obtained in both cases in terms of complete closure of gingival fenestration defects and well-adapted margins with adjacent tissues at one year of follow-up. Full thickness flap with connective tissue graft procedure resulted in complete closure of gingival fenestration in both cases with no recurrence at one-year follow-up and can be used as a successful and predictable treatment modality for the management of such cases.

Abstract

A hemangioma is a benign vascular neoplasm, relatively common in the head and neck. In the oral region, it affects the tongue, gums, mucosa, palate, and lip. Its size can vary from millimeters to centimeters, characterized as a purplish or reddish lesion. The present study aims to present two clinical cases of hemangiomas, the first of a male patient treated by sclerotherapy and the second of a female patient in which she was treated with ethamolin and later surgical treatment. It was concluded that sclerotherapy, in addition to being a safe treatment, managed to drastically reduce the initial size of the lesions present in this article.

Abstract

Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is a disease that is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and is characterized by severe ear pain, auricular vesicular eruptions, and peripheral facial paralysis. Objective: The aim of this case report is to provide information about the clinical findings and treatment process of RHS, which is a rare case and may have oral findings and stress the importance of early diagnosis. Case Report: A 60-year-old male patient had previously consulted an otolaryngologist and a family physician with complaints of vesicular eruptions in the right ear auricle and on the mandible. The patient in whom a diagnosis could not be established presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology after exacerbated lesions. White plaque-like and ruptured vesicular lesions were observed in the intraoral examination. All vesicular lesions were on one side of the face, and the patient was referred to the dermatology clinic with the diagnosis of RHS. Facial paralysis fully recovered in a short time after early diagnosis and treatment. It should be kept in mind that there may also be oral findings in RHS, and a patient’s intraoral and extraoral examination findings should be evaluated together. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment are highly important in preventing complications such as permanent facial paralysis, vestibulocochlear dysfunction, and hearing loss

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the first endodontic case experiences, self-confidence levels, and perceptions toward endodontic learning of final-year undergraduate students. Methods: An online questionnaire was emailed to 270 final-year dental students at 10 Malaysian dental schools. The questionnaire consists of 29 questions on students’ experience, self-confidence, and perception toward endodontic learning. Results: The response rate was 74.4%. The most frequently treated case was tooth diagnosed as nonvital associated with periapical periodontitis. Most of the students perceived working length determination as the most difficult stage and reported having low confidence in locating canal orifices in multirooted teeth and achieving satisfactory obturation. Overall, the students were satisfied with the endodontic knowledge taught by their respective faculties. Conclusion: Endodontic teaching in Malaysian dental schools was perceived as satisfactory by most dental students. Although endodontic treatment is perceived as difficult, students demonstrated high confidence in carrying out this treatment. However, they had limited ability in treating the complex root canal system.

Abstract

Image representation via machine learning is an approach to quantitatively represent histopathological images of head and neck tumors for future applications of artificial intelligence-assisted pathological diagnosis systems. Objective: This study compares image representations produced by a pre-trained convolutional neural network (VGG16) to those produced by a vision transformer (ViT-L/14) in terms of the classification performance of head and neck tumors. Methods: W hole-slide images of five oral t umor categories (n = 319 cases) were analyzed. Image patches were created from manually annotated regions at 4096, 2048, and 1024 pixels and rescaled to 256 pixels. Image representations were classified by logistic regression or multiclass Support Vector Machines for binary or multiclass classifications, respectively. Results: VGG16 with 1024 pixels performed best for benign and malignant salivary gland tumors (BSGT and MSGT) (F1 = 0.703 and 0.803). VGG16 outperformed ViT for BSGT and MSGT with all magnification levels. However, ViT outperformed VGG16 for maxillofacial bone tumors (MBTs), odontogenic cysts (OCs), and odontogenic tumors (OTs) with all magnification levels (F1 = 0.780; 0.874; 0.751). Conclusion: Being more texture-biased, VGG16 performs better in representing BSGT and MSGT in high magnification while the more shape-biased ViT-L/14 performs better in representing MBT, OC, and OT.

Abstract

Tooth hypersensitivity is a common clinical complaint after dental treatment. Objective: This study presents a case report of the use of a diode laser for treating tooth hypersensitivity in a patient with a cantilever fixed partial denture abutment. Case Report: A 23-year-old female patient presented to the Faculty of Dentistry, Umm Al-Qura University in Makkah, with the chief complaint of pain in a deeply carious maxillary right first premolar. The tooth was extracted, and a cantilever fixed partial denture was placed using the second premolar as an abutment. One year later, the patient experienced tooth hypersensitivity under the bridge. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was implemented to treat cervical hypersensitivity using a novel protocol with a total application time of 2.5 minutes across two visits. LLLT effectively relieved the pain. Conclusion: Diode laser is a valid method for treating tooth hypersensitivity in fixed partial denture patients.

Abstract

The definition of oral leukoplakia has not much changed during the past five decades and is still a definition by exclusion of ‘known’ lesions. Therefore, a diagnosis of leukoplakia is not always a straightforward one for the clinicians and, to some extent, also for the pathologists. The traditional clinical classification in homogeneous and nonhomogeneous leukoplakia may just be simplified into leukoplakia (thin and thick/verrucous) and erythroleukoplakia. In spite of numerous reported predictive molecular and genetic parameters of malignant transformation, the presence and grade of epithelial dysplasia as assessed by histopathological examination is still the most important one. Of the various treatment modalities, surgery and CO2 laser evaporation are still the most common ones. Treatment may delay or prevent recurrence, but does not seem to prevent malignant transformation or the occurrence of cancer development elsewhere in the mouth or the head and neck region or beyond. There is a strong need for randomized prospective studies and uniform reporting of treatment results..

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the centering ability and canal transportation of the ProTaper Next, One Curve, and TruNatomy instruments in curved root canals. Methods: Forty-five curved mesiobuccal canals of human mandibular molar teeth were selected, randomly divided into 3 groups, and prepared using the ProTaper Next, One Curve, and TruNatomy files. Cone Beam Computed Tomography images of the cross-sectional planes at 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, and 7 mm from the apical foramen were determined before and after the preparation. For each specified millimeter canal transportation and centering ability were measured. Statistical analysis was performed and compared all groups. Results: No significant differences were observed between the groups or root canal levels in both canal transportation and centering ability (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The TruNatomy system demonstrated comparable results with both predecessor ProTaper Next and One Curve single-file systems.

Abstract

Changing the water solubility property of glass ionomer cement (GIC), which is frequently used in pediatric dentistry, is the starting point of this study. Objective: To evaluate the effects of boric acid on the water solubility (WS) of GIC. Methods: The samples were prepared as n=12 in each of four groups: GIC-Conventional glass ionomer cement; BGIC with 1:3 boric acid added to conventional GIC powder; RMGIC-resin-modified glass ionomer cement; BRMGIC with 1:3 boric acid added to RMGIC powder. Weight changes were compared 1, 3 and 24 h after keeping in distilled water. One sample in each group was measured by SEM-EDX analysis. The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance, Dunnett’s T3 in multiple comparison tests, and generalized linear models. Results: In all groups, water solubility increased. There was a significant difference between the mean values of the WS-1h, WS-3h, and WS-24h variables in each group and between the GIC, BGIC, RMGIC, and BRMGIC groups in the mean values of the WS-1h, WS-3h, and WS-24h variables. The SEM-EDX analysis revealed 14.19–18.47%; 0.80–1.00%; 8.69–14.91%; 0.09–13.10% boron minerals in GIC, BGIC, RMGIC, and BRMGIC, respectively. 8: The addition of boric acid led to an increase in water solubility. The effects of boric acid on the GIC samples emphasized its potential role in altering the cement’s physicochemical properties. Therefore, it is important to consider carefully when using boric acid as a supplement in GIC formulations for dental applications.

Abstract

The biocompatibility of toothpaste in an oral cavity should be approved by clinical trials. Nowadays, herbal toothpaste is increasing in popularity due to its natural ingredients. Being genetically similar to humans, zebrafish are used in potential toxicity testing. The zebrafish embryotoxicity test is a fast and straightforward method to study chemical toxicity during embryogenesis. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate if there was any biocompatibility of the toothpaste on zebrafish embryos. Methods: Adult AB strain zebrafish were used according to Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee protocols. Normally dividing, spherical embryos were exposed to herbal toothpaste with ginger (Gumgumix, Turkey) (50 mg/L) and conventional toothpaste (Signal, Expert Protection, Bulgaria) (50 mg/L) in well plates containing 20 embryos, having four replicates. Developmental effects, mortality, and hatching rates were evaluated for 72h. Results: Zebrafish embryos exposed to conventional toothpaste had a higher mortality rate than those exposed to herbal toothpaste; they hatched later and delayed in development. There was no difference between herbal toothpaste and the control group regarding mortality and hatching rates (p > 0.005). Conclusion: The herbal toothpaste showed higher biocompatibility on zebrafish embryos compared to the conventional toothpaste under the condition of this study.
