Abstract

Understanding the microstructural and elemental composition of pulp capping materials is crucial for predicting their biocompatibility and effectiveness in promoting pulp healing. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize the microstructural and elemental properties of carbonated hydroxyapatite as a dental pulp-capping material. Methods: Carbonated hydroxyapatite was synthesized using the precipitation method. MTA and Apacal ART were obtained from commercial sources. The materials were prepared into disk-shaped specimens, hydrated in deionized water at 37°C for 14 days, and analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Results: SEM images revealed that MTA exhibited smooth, plate-like crystalline structures surrounded by a rougher matrix. Apacal ART showed smooth, spherical particles. carbonated hydroxyapatite displayed small, spherical, and irregularly shaped particles. EDX analysis indicated carbonated hydroxyapatite had the highest calcium content, followed by MTA and Apacal ART. Conclusion: Carbonated hydroxyapatite demonstrated favorable microstructural and elemental properties for use as a pulp capping agent. Its high calcium content and specific microstructural features suggest it could be a viable alternative to traditional materials like MTA and Apacal ART. Further clinical studies are needed to validate these findings and assess the in vivo efficacy of carbonated hydroxyapatite.

Abstract

Odontomes are the most common type of odontogenic tumors. Odontomes are of two major types i.e, complex and compound odontoma. They are usually asymptomatic and, hence, are seen as accidental findings on a radiograph. They may be associated with an unerupted or delayed eruption of a permanent tooth. Usually, odontomes are diagnosed at an early age. This case report provides a case of compound odontoma causing impaction of the right maxillary central incisor with its clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features and its management. Case report: Here, a 13-year-old patient reported with unerupted maxillary central incisor on the right side. Clinical examination revealed a firm to hard swelling, and radiographic examination revealed multiple radiopaque toothlike structures in the region of 11. These were removed surgically and histopathologically, confirming the diagnosis of compound odontoma. The maxillary right central incisor was then orthodontically brought to its correct position. The patient was recalled for regular follow-ups. Conclusion: Early and timely diagnosis will help in the treatment of this condition at an early stage and thus reduce complications in tooth eruption and other abnormalities associated with it.

Abstract

Objective: To find out if scaling and root planing for periodontal disease during pregnancy lowers the incidence of preterm births. Methods: This is a meta-analysis study design; searches were conducted in the PubMed database and on Google Scholar between January 2000 and December 2023. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were considered. The studies will be examined to determine the relationship between non-surgical periodontal treatment and preterm birth rates among pregnant women. Results: Only 14 trials were included out of 194 articles identified. The overall result indicated a statistically significant reduction in preterm birth rate when we use the random effects model (odds ratio 0.64, 95% CI: 0.46 to 0.89; p = 0.008). Conclusions: This meta-analysis demonstrates that treating chronic periodontitis with scaling and root planing in pregnant women has a significant impact on reducing the incidence of preterm birth rate. Periodontal disease is common in pregnancy, resulting in a lower quality of life, frequent systemic pathologies, and poor pregnancy outcomes. Given the negative consequences, public health implications, and large disease burden, it is worthwhile to look into more aspects of periodontal disease during pregnancy. Further well-organized studies are still needed.

Abstract

Objective: Self-medication refers to medication behavior for self-diagnosed symptoms. Oral ulcers are self-medicated lesions in the oral cavity. Dental students have different knowledge about oral cavity lesions and may self-medicate using drugs. This study aimed to determine the self-medication behavior of dental students for oral ulcers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on dental students in the Faculty of Dentistry from different batch years. Purposive sampling was used to select students with oral ulcer lesions in the last six months. A validated and reliable questionnaire was used to assess self-medication behavior. Data collection using the online form. Student behavior data were presented descriptively and analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. Results: The mean of self-medication behavior for oral ulcers was observed to be higher for the earliest intake group (2015–2016) of students than for the middle (2017–2018) or most recent (2019–2020) year groups. The results of the one-way ANOVA test showed that the p-value was not significant between the groups of dental students. Conclusion: No difference was observed in the self-medication behavior for oral ulcers among dental students based on their study year.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the oral health practices, status, and treatment requirements of adolescents with special healthcare needs attending special education schools in Selangor, Malaysia. The adolescents’ parents perceived challenges to oral healthcare were also established. Methods: The current study employed a cross-sectional approach involving 131 adolescents with varying special needs. The participants were between 13 and 18 years old and fulfilled the pre-determined inclusion criteria. The participants’ parents supplied information on sociodemographic, oral health practices, and possible obstacles to dental care through an online survey form. The oral examination on decay, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT), simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), and treatment requirements were performed in the school with teachers in attendance. The chi-square test was then conducted during statistical analyses. Results: Most adolescents examined in this study demonstrated good oral hygiene, recording 0.79 ± 1.49 and 0.73 ± 0.4 mean DMFT and OHI-S scores, respectively. A majority of the participants also reported brushing their teeth more than once daily, while approximately 93.9% employed fluoridated toothpaste. A majority of the participants required oral prophylaxis and restorative treatment. Nevertheless, the most significant barriers perceived by the parents or caregivers were time constraints to bring their child to dental clinics and the child's dental anxiety. The present study found no association between barriers to dental care and dental treatment requirements. Conclusion: The results indicated no correlation between barriers to dental care and dental treatment requirements. The findings might be due to this study being conducted in an urban area in Malaysia. Consequently, a multi-centre study with a bigger sample size is recommended.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine patients’ positive and negative personality traits in relation to treatment satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in patients who have received dental implant-supported prosthesis. Methods: This study was carried out on 135 adults above the age of 30 who had received reasonable implant treatment and prosthesis in the last 1–24 months in a private and a public dental office. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire, which was sent to patients via WhatsApp and email. Also, the Persian version of the Oral Health Impact Profile 14 and the Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale were used to collect data related to OHRQOL and personality profiles. A Likert scale was also used to obtain the treatment satisfaction level. Results: Among 135 participants, most reported good oral hygiene and positive affect, with 62.7% rating their oral health as good and a mean PANAS score indicating an overall positive emotional state. Oral health-related quality of life was linked to tooth brushing and self-rated oral health, while satisfaction with implants was influenced by education and emotional affect. Conclusions: Overall, negative personality traits increased the chance of not being satisfied after an implant-supported prosthesis. Meanwhile, people with more positive personality traits had a better chance of being satisfied. Personality traits were not associated with OHRQOL.

Abstract

Objectives: The growing popularity of vaping has introduced additional challenges, as potential health risks are still under investigation. Exploring differences in smoking perceptions between smokers and non-smokers could provide valuable insights into smoking behavior and inform effective intervention strategies. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the perceptions of smoking, specifically vaping and conventional cigarette use, among young adult smokers and non-smokers. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional design was employed, with 542 university students included through random sampling, using a questionnaire consisting of 8 items. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Rasch model analysis. Results: Of the subjects, 259 (48%) used vapes and 283 (52%) were non-smokers. The age distribution was as follows: under 19 years (13.51% vs 38.87%), 19-20 years (46.33% vs 32.16%), and over 21 years (40.15% vs 28.98%). The Wright map indicated perceptual differences between smokers and non-smokers, with smokers showing greater agreement with smoking perceptions (>1 logit). Significant differences (p < 0.001) were found in each item across all groups. Conclusion: The study identified distinct perceptual differences regarding smoking between smokers and non-smokers, with smokers having a more favorable perception towards smoking. Non-smokers generally showed a stronger aversion to conventional cigarettes compared to electronic ones. These findings underscore the importance of developing targeted smoking cessation programs that address the specific perceptions and attitudes of both groups.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to compare pharyngeal airway and dentoskeletal effects of 2 and 4 premolar extraction treatments in adult patients separately for each gender. Methods: The study was conducted with 60 adults (26 males; 34 females) aged 18-35 years. Individuals were divided into 3 groups as non-extraction, 2-premolar extraction, and 4-premolar extraction. Pre-treatment (T0) and post-treatment (T1) dentoskeletal and pharyngeal airway measurements were performed on cephalometric radiographs. Results: A significant increase in nasopharyngeal airway (PNS-ad2) and anterior hyoid bone movement (CV3ai-H) was observed in the 4-extraction group; whereas in the 2-extraction group, inferior oropharyngeal airway (IAS) narrowing and hyoid bone movement in posterosuperior direction were observed. In the non-extraction group, inferior oropharyngeal airway narrowing and hyoid bone movement in the anteroinferior direction were observed. A significant increase in nasopharyngeal airway, narrowing of oropharyngeal airway, and superior hyoid bone movement were observed in the 2-extraction group in males. In the non-extraction and 4-extraction groups, the hyoid bone moved in inferior and anterior directions, respectively. While the hyoid bone moved posteriorly in the 2-extraction group in females, there was an increase in nasopharyngeal airway and narrowing of the middle oropharyngeal airway (MAS) in the 4-extraction group. Conclusion: While the nasopharyngeal airway was widened in individuals with 4-extractions, the inferior oropharyngeal airway was narrowed in both the 2-extraction and non-extraction groups. Hyoid bone movement was observed in anterior, posterosuperior, and anteroinferior directions in 4-extraction, 2-extraction, and non-extraction patients, respectively, and these changes vary according to gender.

Abstract

Objectives: It is challenging to achieve satisfactory outcomes in a complete denture for patients with resorbed residual ridges. Utilization of neutral zone techniques to guide posterior denture tooth arrangement and denture base contouring has been considered for many decades. However, the evidence is still not enough to revise protocols. This study aimed to compare patient satisfaction and stability of neutral zone denture with conventional denture. Methods: A crossover clinical trial was conducted among patients with resorbed mandibular ridges. Each participant received two sets of dentures: one fabricated using the neutral zone technique and one using the conventional method, in a randomized sequence. Denture stability was assessed clinically at the time of insertion. Patient satisfaction was recorded after three weeks of wearing each denture using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests for within-subject comparisons, and carryover effects were evaluated using pre-test. Results: The carry-over effect was not statistically significant for both satisfaction (p = 0.099) and stability (p = 0.316). The stability of neutral zone denture was significantly higher than conventional denture (p = 0.043). Conclusion: Dentures prepared using neutral zone technique have been found to be more stable when compared to ones prepared using conventional methods.

Abstract

Objective: In this work, Hyflex CM, TruNatomy, and Plex V heat-treated nickel titanium rotary instruments were evaluated at body temperature (36 °C ± 1 °C) with and without a cooling protocol to assess the cyclic fatigue resistance. Methods: A 90° curved stainless-steel block was used for cyclic fatigue tests on 60 randomly selected rotary instruments, divided into two groups of 30: body temperature (n = 10) and body temperature with cooling (n = 10). Instruments were further subdivided into 6 groups of 3 different instruments. Cooling protocol group instruments received 5-second spray cooling every 30 seconds, along with continuous 5% sodium hypochlorite. Instrument fractures were recorded via audiovisual methods, inspected under a stereomicroscope, and statistically analyzed. Results: Significant cyclic fatigue resistance was observed in both body temperature and cooling protocol groups in intergroup and intragroup comparisons. Plex V files outperformed others at body temperature, while TruNatomy showed superior cyclic fatigue resistance in the cooling protocol group. Each group displayed expected signs of cyclic fatigue behavior under the stereomicroscope. Conclusion: All three instruments showed comparable cyclic fatigue resistance at body temperature, and the cooling treatment enhanced their resistance. TruNatomy presents a better outcome than other tested files after the cooling protocol.
