Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the adjunctive clinical effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the non-surgical treatment of subjects with residual pockets (≥ 6 mm) at the maintenance phase. Methods: 36 systemically healthy subjects in the periodontal maintenance phase were included in this 3-month randomized clinical trial. Subjects received a course of full-mouth, scaling and root debridement (SRD). In the test group (n = 18), HA 0.8% was applied subgingivally immediately after SRD. The control group (n = 18) was treated with SRD only. Subjects in both groups were required to apply HA 0.2% twice a day for 2 weeks. Clinical parameters collected at baseline and 3 months post-treatment were periodontal pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and clinical attachment level (CAL). Results: In both groups, all parameters were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) after treatment. Subjects treated with HA 0.8% showed a greater gain in mean CAL and higher percentage of ‘healthy pocket’ (PPD ≤ 3 mm) than the control group. However, no statistical difference was observed. Conclusion: The overall results show that treatment with HA 0.8% has a potential improvement in periodontal health.

Abstract

With a global aging population, the oral hygiene of elderly individuals in institutional settings requires unique management. Maintaining adequate denture hygiene is a critical aspect of their overall well-being, while neglecting denture hygiene can lead to various oral health issues, malnutrition, and further impacting their overall health. Objective: This paper aims to provide a preliminary overview of denture hygiene care among the elderly using an ordered logistics model. Methods: Data was obtained from 174 participants in two government institutional homes in Malaysia. The Principle Components Analysis (PCA) was used to identify significant variables and an ordered logistic model showed the relationships between these variables and denture hygiene. Results: PCA identified three significant variables: calf circumference, age, and appetite. The ordered logistic model shows that lower calf circumference, lower age groups and severe loss of appetite, all were associated with significantly poorer denture hygiene. The model’s fitting and goodness-of-fit was also assesed and found to be satisfactory. Conclusion: Poor denture hygiene is prevelant among institutionalized elderly. Addressing these issues is crucial for caregivers and healthcare providers to enhance the well-being of the aging population. This research provides a foundation for future interventions to improve denture hygiene and, by extension, overall health and quality of life for institutionalized elderly individuals.

Abstract

Classification and resin infiltration treatment of MIH-related permanent anterior teeth are increasingly receiving attention nowadays. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the characteristics of these teeth; and to assess factors regarding treatment. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using transilluminated and reflected light photographs, and the lesion was classified according to its color, size, type, heterogeneity and surface integrity. The data were analyzed using a chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis to evaluate enamel craze lines (ECL), post-eruptive breakdown (PEB), and treatment procedures. Results: 73 teeth from 46 patients were included, in which 53 teeth had been treated. Size I showed the highest rate of PEB (66.67%). Females (OR = 20.39 (95%CI: 1.62 – 256.18)) and colored lesions (OR = 13.01 (95%CI: 1.82 – 93.13)) were associated with ECL/PEB. Microabrasion and etching cycles were inversely proportional and PEB required 4.33 etching cycles on average. A significant relationship was observed between surface integrity and composite fillings, between yellow/brown spot transformation and lesion color, sex and homogeneity. Conclusion: Lesion color, size, and sex are significant factors influencing ECL and PEB, while sex, surface integrity, lesion color, and homogeneity affect the treatment. Dental practitioners should consider these factors to provide appropriate treatment planning and consultation.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the anatomical length of the mandibular incisive canal and anterior loop and the distance to surrounding structures. Methods: Our study was conducted on 70 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) films of 70 Vietnamese adult outpatients (40 females, 30 males) at Hanoi Medical University, Vietnam. T-test was applied to assess the difference between the two sides and genders. Results: The mean length of the mandibular incisive canal (MIC) was 12.83 ± 5.13 mm. The anterior loop (AL) prevalence was 62.86%, with an average length of 2.37 ± 0.90 mm. The difference between the right and left sides was statistically significant (p < 0.05), measuring 2.51 ± 0.87 mm and 2.24 ± 0.92 mm, respectively. Our research findings revealed that the distance from the MIC to the alveolar border was approximately twice as long as the distance to the inferior border, with measurements exceeding 17 mm, and it was closer to the buccal cortical bone than the lingual border. Conclusion: The length of AL on the right side was greater. Due to the high prevalence of the MIC and the AL, clinicians should observe the mandibular incisive canal and anterior loop on CBCT scans before performing clinical procedures to avoid injuries.

Abstract

Objective: The acidic pH of remineralizing agents is beneficial in etching the enamel to facilitate increased remineralization. This study aims to modify the pH of Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium phosphate to acidic and evaluate the enamel surface microhardness exposed to acidified CPP ACPF, acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF gel), and conventional CPP ACPF. Methods: The pH of conventional CPP ACPF (GC Tooth Mousse) is acidified. 24 tooth samples were assigned into three groups receiving as follows: Group 1 (n = 8) acidified CPP ACPF, Group 2 (n = 8) APF gel, and Group 3 (n = 8) CPP ACPF for four minutes. Baseline and post-exposure microhardness values were evaluated using Vicker’s microhardness number. Descriptive and inferential statistics were done. Results: The mean post-surface microhardness was highest in the acidified CPP ACPF group (323 ± 26.0) while lowest in the CPP ACPF group (307 ± 31). The APF gel group had a 312.4±18.6. A one-way ANOVA test between the groups showed statistical significance (p value 0.054), post hoc Tuckey test showed significance between the acidified CPP ACPF and CPP ACPF groups (p value 0.05). Conclusion: Acidified CPP ACPF increased the surface microhardness less than APF gel in a single exposure for four minutes.

Abstract

Appropriate management of anterior tooth fracture restores the function and aesthetics and provides a positive psychological impact for the patient. One of the most conservative approaches for such a restoration is reattachment; if a fracture fragment remains attached to the tooth and is available, as in young patients, immediate reporting helps preserve the vitality and long-term defense mechanism. Objective: This case report provides two cases with varied approaches for the management of complicated and uncomplicated crown fractures using reattachment procedures. Case report: During the clinical examination, the first case described the management of an uncomplicated fracture using the putty index technique. The second case report describes the management of a complicated fracture of the upper central incisor, which invades the biological width using flap elevation and fiber post-cementation. Conclusion: Fragment reattachment is a reliable, conservative, and immediate alternative technique having better retentive and aesthetic values. Tooth fragment reattachment provides dentists with a conservative approach for an aesthetically satisfactory tooth reconstruction.

Abstract

The long-term clinical performance of restoration in endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is an essential yet complicated strategy to achieve it. A resin-build-up tooth with higher elastic moduli is a minimally invasive strategy to decrease the risk of catastrophic root fracture. Additionally, intracanal resin composite anchorage simplifies the restorative procedure and increases the bonding. Objective: This case report describes a resin-build-up tooth restoration using the direct monoblock concept to replace a failed metal post and core and porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crown on the maxillary right central incisor. Case report: A 50-year-old man attended a dental university hospital with a chief complaint about the repeated detachment of the old resin-veneered crown along with the metal post on his maxillary right central incisor. He has been using that aged restoration for five years. The measurement of crown preparation in thickness was 2 mm, core length was 9 mm, post length was 7 mm, remaining gutta-percha was 5 mm, and the length from the end of gutta-percha to the apex was 1 mm. A Direct monoblock restoration using flowable and packable resin composite with universal adhesive was chosen to save time and to achieve long-term bonded restoration. Conclusion: Endodontically treated teeth on the maxillary incisor were successfully restored using the resin-build-up direct monoblock concept. The adhesive intracanal resin composite anchorage to a depth of 7 mm using a flowable resin composite replaced the post for ETT with favorable results. Moreover, the four-year follow-up of the clinical examination and evaluation showed good results.

Abstract

Peripheral ameloblastoma (PA), an uncommon and unique form of odontogenic tumor, accounts for around 2-10% of all ameloblastomas. The extraosseous position is the distinguishing aspect of this form of tumor, which is otherwise comparable to a typical ameloblastoma. As late recurrence is also recorded, continuous follow-up is required. A case of peripheral ameloblastoma in a 23-year-old male that affected the right posterior palatal mucosa was presented in this case study. A 23-year-old male patient had an exophytic mass located at the junction of the hard and soft palate, in the palatal neighborhood of the tooth number 18. An excisional biopsy of the lesion was performed under local anesthesia, and the final diagnosis showed peripheral ameloblastoma. An appointment for intermittent controls was scheduled in case of a recurrence. PA arises at a much younger age than intraosseous ameloblastoma. It is an exophytic growth in the soft tissues overlaying the tooth-bearing portions of the jaws, with fibrous epulis being the most common first diagnosis. Conservative supraperiosteal surgical excision with appropriate disease-free margins is the current therapy of choice.

Abstract

Mild form of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) on anterior teeth are posing great challenges to dental practitioners as it can have a huge aesthetic impact. In terms of deep MIH-related lesion below the healthy enamel, highly invasive methods for approaching the lesion body and removing the entire hypomineralized enamel using burs could lead to failures including aesthetic problems and even further tooth structure damage to the affected teeth. Case report: To resolve t his issue, we have proposed a modified resin infiltration technique based on the minimally invasive philosophy. In this study, we would like to report three specific cases about the use of the technique, which has the potential to restore the naturally aesthetic appearance for the anterior teeth while maintaining healthy tooth structure. Conclusion: Recovering the natural appearance of anterior teeth requires thorough attention to the aesthetics and integrity of the affected teeth. The proposed modified resin infiltration technique has been illustrated to bring back the natural morphology and maximally protect the healthy structure to ensure a long-term treatment outcome. The technique should be implemented to a significant degree for the long-term improvement in the oral health of pediatric patients in Vietnam and around the world.

Abstract

Human teeth are unique since one population’s dental pattern might differ from another. Such specific dental characteristics, such as the incisor, are observable in each dentition. Objective: his study analyzed the population differences in Javanese and Chinese-Indonesian populations through observations of the incisal traits, namely winging, shoveling, and double shoveling. Methods: 50 dental casts (76 Javanese samples and 74 Chinese- Indonesian samples) were obtained from Dr. Myrtati Dyah Artaria’s private collection, stored in the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga. The traits were observed and scored using the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS) and analyzed statistically using crosstab and chi-square methods. Results: Only three out of 13 test results exhibit significant differences (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The dentitions observed in the Chinese-Indonesian samples mirror the immense Chinese acculturation into Javanese cultures through interbreeding that happened generations ago. The gene flow between these two populations appears phenotypically in the dentitions, leading the Chinese-Indonesian samples in this study to express Sundadont traits despite their noticeable facial traits and heritage.
