Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of ultrasonic tip with and without solvent in removing gutta-perca and bioceramic sealer from the middle and apical third of the root canals. Methods: This is a true experimental study with randomized pretest-posttest control group design. Eighteen freshly extracted straight single-rooted mandibular first premolars were confirmed by CBCT and selected. The teeth were decoronated until a length of 16 ± 0.5mm. The teeth were prepared and obturated using gutta-percha and bioceramic sealer with a hydraulic condensation technique. Pre-instrumentation CBCT imaging of all teeth was carried out to obtain the initial volume of the obturation material. After incubating for 30 days, the treated teeth were randomly divided into three groups (n = 6): ultrasonic and xylene, ultrasonic and orange oil, and ultrasonic only. Post-instrumentation CBCT was carried out and the amount of obturation material removed was calculated using CT Analyser. The two-way ANOVA was used to determine the solvent and location interaction. Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference among the groups based on the treatment and location (p > 0.05). In addition, no significant interaction was found in relation to the cleanliness of the root canal (p > 0.05). Conclusion: There was no difference in the effectiveness of ultrasonic obturation material cleaning with and without endodontic solvents. Based on the results, the obturation material with the most residue is a sealer.

Abstract

Objective: Anamnesis, extraoral intraoral examination, radiographic examination, and other special examination methods are used to diagnose diseases in the oral and maxillofacial regions. The aim of this study was to establish the demographic, systemic, and radiographic characteristics of the patients by analyzing the records of patients who were treated at the Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Clinic of the University Faculty of Dentistry. Methods: The anamnesis and diagnostic records of patients who were treated at the OMR clinic between 01.01.2013 and 31.12.2019 and the radiographic records of the patients referred to the X-ray department were retrospectively analyzed. The number of patients was analyzed according to demographic, systemic, and radiographic classifications, and tables were created according to years and total numbers. Results: The number of females who applied between 2013-2019 was statistically significantly higher than that of males. When the age distribution of all patients who applied to the OMR clinic was analyzed, it was observed that the patients who applied were 15 years of age and older, and 29.3% of these patients were in the 30-44 age group, with the highest proportion. When radiographic data were analyzed, it was observed that the most common radiograph obtained was a panoramic radiograph (90%). Conclusion: Anamnesis records revealed the systemic disease characteristics of the study area, which is helpful for diagnosis and treatment planning. The most requested radiographic types and clinics that requested the most radiographs were determined. This will help improve the functioning within and between departments. By determining the common diagnoses in panoramic radiographs, the issues to be considered in patients of certain age and sex groups have been clarified.

Abstract

In recent years, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) has become a promising tool for non-destructive imaging and the study of root canal morphology in endodontics. However, the reliability of such analyses heavily relies on the accuracy and consistency of the software used for image processing. Objective: This study aims to investigate the reliability of two different micro-CT voxel sizes using open-source three-dimensional (3D) software (Drishti v3.0) used to identify and quantify the Apical Foramen (AF) and Apical Constriction (AC) in mandibular premolars. Methods: Eight mandibular premolars were divided into two groups, with four samples in each group. Samples were scanned using a ZEISS X-Radia 520 Micro-CT system with two different voxel sizes of 23 μm (Group A) and 17 μm (Group B), respectively. The micro-CT data were reconstructed and transferred to Drishti Software, and individual image rendering was performed to visualize the images for data analysis. The position and measurement of AF and AC to the anatomical apex were measured individually and independently by single operators. Results: The reliability of the measurements assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) between two voxel sizes was excellent and on par with previous research. This pilot study suggested that results for voxel sizes of 23 μm and 17 μm were comparable. Both voxel size 3D images demonstrated excellent and high-quality visualization of the root canal configuration, lateral and accessory canals, apical deltas, major AF, and AC. Conclusion: It is feasible and reliable to visualize and analyze 3D micro-CT images using open-source software (Drishti v3.0). Both voxel sizes of 23 μm and 17 μm are recommended for use in root canal study.

Abstract

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetic disease characterized by producing morphological and structural changes in tooth enamel. Objective: To highlight the morphological changes observed in teeth with hypocalcified AI based on scanning electron microscopy and microtomography analysis. Case report: An adult male had teeth seriously compromised by hypocalcified AI. The treatment plan involved removal of third molars followed by restorative and prosthetic treatment. After extraction, the teeth were analyzed by SEM and X-ray microtomography (microCT). Teeth with AI revealed the presence of microfractures arranged from the outer surface to the center of the enamel. Microfractures had a cracked or “cracked ground” pattern. SEM confirmed the presence of microfractures and distortion in the orientation of the enamel prisms in some regions. Conclusion: Teeth of patients with hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta IIIA subtype show significant structural changes that are closely related with the ease of fractures.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Titanium reinforced platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) as the sole biomaterial amongst the biologics in periodontal regeneration of both soft and hard tissues. Methods: A PUBMED database search is conducted from August 2013 to August 2023. Only original articles, including Randomized controlled clinical trials, cross-sectional studies, prospective studies, and case-control studies, were included. The studies will be analyzed regarding the outcome of the association between T-PRF and periodontal regeneration of both hard and soft tissue. Results: From 35 articles identified, 8 RCTs were included. The use of T-PRF statistically significantly reduced PD and improved CAL and Radiographic bone fill. On soft tissue regeneration, better results in terms of PPD, CAL, RGML, Recession Depth, and an increase in thickness of attached gingiva are observed. Conclusion: The use of T-PRF significantly improved clinical outcomes in hard tissue regeneration and periodontal parameters, including the soft tissue outcomes in root coverage procedures.

Abstract

Periodontitis is a disease marked by inflammation of the periodontium, caused by biofilms present in the oral cavity, and results in alveolar bone destruction. One of the main hallmarks of periodontitis is the presence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetecomitans, which is generally suppressed by antibiotic administration. The strategy to control A. actinomycetecomitans by small specific peptide inhibitors potentially halts the progression of alveolar bone damage while lowering the risk of antibiotic resistance. The detailed interaction mechanisms of A. actinomycetecomitans and bone cells are fundamental to discovering and constructing the specific inhibitor. Objective : To systematically review the mechanism of bone destruction by A. actinomycetecomitans based on its interaction with bone cells and its precursors. Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in two database (Scopus, PubMed) from September 2021 to June 2022, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for SystematicvReviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. The terms used in the search were ”Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans” OR “A. actinomycetemcomitans” AN” bone”OR “bone loss” OR “bone destruction” OR “bone resorption” OR “bone formation” OR “bone remodelling” OR “osteclast” OR “osteoblast” OR “osteocyte”. Only articles in English and research articles published within ten years were included. Results: In total, nine articles discussing alveolar bone destruction were included in the review. Most articles reported the virulence of A. actinomycetecomitans, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and its target cells, osteoclast progenitors, osteoclasts, and osteoblasts. Conclusion: A. actinomycetecomitans induces alveolar bone destruction via various mechanisms, including osteoblast apoptosis, lowering osteoblast differentiation, increasing osteoclast activity and differentiation, and releasing inflammatory cytokines. The detailed interaction mechanisms between A. actinomycetecomitans and bone cells would provide valuable hints for further investigation toward constructing specific inhibitors to disrupt the interaction between A. actinomycetecomitans and bone cells that eventually protect the alveolar bone destruction.

Abstract

Tooth decay is a widespread disease with considerable financial and psychological costs. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate dental health of a large sample of people covered by rural insurance program in Kerman province. Methods: A sample size of 5000 was determined among people living in villages and towns with a population of less than 20000 who are all covered by dental rural insurance program. The DMFT/dmft index was assessed in five target age groups using the WHO oral health measurement standard form. Demographic and socioeconomic status of participants was also recorded. The percentage of people in need of immediate treatment was also recorded. STATA software version 14. Regression analysis and chi square tests were used for further data analysis. Results: Questionnaires of 3248 participants qualified to enter the study. The least mean DMFT score was related to the 12 year target group (3.1 ± 2.7) and the 65-74 year target group revealed the highest mean DMFT score (20.8 ± 12.2). In most target groups, the decayed component of DMFT/dmft index contributed the most to the overall score. DMFT index revealed an increase compared to the results of 2012 survey. Overall, 8.3 percent of individuals were in need of immediate treatment. Tooth brushing status and the use of fluoridated toothpaste was related to lower DMFT/dmft scores. Conclusion: Despite the rural dental insurance coverage, the DMFT/ dmft has not decreased in this more deprived population of Kerman province. An evaluation of this program is needed to detect possible defaults. Dental health education with a special emphasis on toothbrushing with a fluoride containing toothpaste can help improve dental health.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed at a comparative analysis of the remineralization potential of grape seed extract (GSE) alone, together with casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and/or acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF). Methods: The samples were randomly divided into seven groups according to the treatment used: 25% GSE, 1.23% APF (Gelato APF gel), and CPP-ACP (GC Tooth Mousse). The samples in group 7 received no treatment as a control group. All specimens were subjected to pH cycling for two weeks. Surface microhardness analyses were performed at baseline, after demineralization and remineralization. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Post Hoc Bonferroni, and Repeated measures of ANOVA tests (0.05). Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the mean microhardness values of the groups after remineralization (p < 0.05). The difference was between groups 2 and 7. According to the surface microhardness values measured at baseline, after demineralization, and after remineralization within groups 3, 5, and 6, the difference was due to all measurement times. The mean microhardness values were highest at baseline and the lowest after demineralization. Conclusion: This study concluded that grape seed extract with other agents can increase the remineralization efficiency, however, it is essential to support the results with in vivo studies.
