<![CDATA[Clinicians have previously reported effective outcomes of apexification in cases of complicated caries or trauma; however, there is still not enough evidence of how root development stage before treatment influences the success of this procedure. Objectives: The study was performed to evaluate the influence of pretreatment root development stage on the success of apexification, with the use of a modified forensic technique for estimating odontologic age. Methods: Apexification of maxillary and mandibular permanent incisors, first molars, and premolars was provided to 43 pediatric patients with symptoms of irreversible pulp changes or signs of chronic apical periodontitis. Success of apexification was evaluated with the use of a modification of Demirjian et al.’s age estimation technique; root development stages were documented radiologically before and 12 months after treatment. Results: There was a close covariance between pretreatment tooth development stages F and G and the possibility of achieving stage H after apexification (rs = 0.87 and 0.91, respectively; p < 0.05) with an average follow-up period of 11.6 ± 0.7 months. Conclusion: Pretreatment tooth development at stages F to H, as originally proposed by Demirjian et al., was found to significantly influence the prognosis for achieving successful apexification outcome.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of detecting abnormal radiographic findings from a diagnostic panoramic radiograph of edentulous patients prior to complete denture constructions. Methods: We reviewed the dental records and panoramic radiographs of 194 edentulous patients receiving complete denture treatment over a 5-year period. We identified cases with recorded abnormal radiographic findings which did or did not require intervention prior to complete denture fabrication. Results: Radiographic abnormalities were detected in 24 of 194 cases (13%), of which 11 cases (6%) required intervention prior to denture construction. Of those 11 cases, 7 had a retained root which required extraction and 4 had irregular ridges which required alveoloplasty. The remaining 170 patients (87%) had no abnormal findings detected on their panoramic radiographs. Conclusion: Abnormal radiographic findings that affect denture construction were only found in 6% of patients, similar to the previous reports. Therefore, taking panoramic radiographs prior to complete denture construction offers insignificant clinical value and should, thus, be discontinued as a screening tool.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Mouth breathing has been reported to affect gingival health in children. However, studies on the effect of mouth breathing in adult patients are scarce. The objective of present cross sectional study was to examine the relationship between mouth breathing and gingival condition and to evaluate the distribution of gingival inflammation in young adult mouth breathing patients. Methods: Study groups comprised of participants with mouth breathing (test group) and nose breathing (control group) patients with gingivitis. Both the groups underwent periodontal examination. PI, GI and BOP % sites were recorded and analyzed statistically for the differences in mean values. Results: Mouth breathing patients showed higher full mouth GI and BOP scores. Upper anterior segment in mouth breathing patients showed highest GI and BOP followed by lower anterior segment, lower posterior and upper posterior region. Conclusion: Within the limits of present study, our findings suggest that relative to control group participants, test group i.e. patients with mouth breathing had higher gingival inflammation and bleeding sites in upper anterior region.]]>

<![CDATA[Little is known about the antibacterial activity of licorice root extract. Objective: To investigate the antimicrobial and anti-proteolytic activities of root extract on Porphyromonas gingivalis in both planktonics and biofilm cells. Methods: Glycyrrhiza glabra (G. glabra) roots were extracted by 95% ethanol freeze dried and kept at -20˚C prior experiments. P.gingvalis (ATCC 33277) were cultured and used for experiments. Determination of antibacterial activities of G.glabra extracts (lico rice) against P.gingvalis planktonic the MIC and MBC were evaluated by agar well diffusion, broth microdilution, and time-killing methods. The crystal violet assay was used to assess the biofilm growth inhibition and the disruption of established biofilm. The Arg - specific proteolytic activities were analyzed using the chromogenic substrates assays using N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-4-nitroanilide hydrochloride and N-(p-tosyl)-Gly-Pro-Lys 4-nitroanilide acetate salt to assess the enzymatic inhibition effects of the extracts com¬pared with the controls. Results: The licorice root extract had antimicrobial activities on P.gingivalis with MIC and MBC of 62.5μg/ml and 25 μg/ml respectively. The assay showed that Licorice root extronidazole. Licorice root extract also had effect on P.gingivalis biofilms. Quantification by crystal violate staining showed the reduction of bioflm mass in the presence of Licorice root extract. The Arg-and Kgp- proteases activities were also inhibited by the extract in dose dependent manner. Conclusion: The results suggested that licorice root extract may has poten¬tial therapeutics values as a candidate for periodontal disease.]]>

<![CDATA[Treatment of maxillofacial patients needs a multidisciplinary approach of several expertise based on the complexity of the case. Prosthodontists often work together with e.g. ENT, oral or plastic surgeons to provide patient with better prosthesis and optimum treatment. Case report: A 55 years old male was referred to Dental Teaching Hospital of Universitas Indonesia for facial prosthesis fabrication. Patient had undergone squamous cell carcinoma ablation surgery that encompassed nose, cheek, sinuses, upper lip and most of the hard palate. Due to the extensive nature of the defect, Department of Prosthodontics collaborated with Department of Biomedical Engineering to employ 3D printing technique using general purpose machine for fabricating the trial pattern for the prosthesis, with attention given especially to margin areas and facial contours. This technique helps for prosthesis fabrication of this patient because manual wax carving is no longer necessary. Wax carving usually is a labor/skill intensive step and takes longer time. Conclusion: 3D printing of the trial pattern for the prosthesis help minimizes the labor/ skill intensive part of facial prosthesis fabrication.]]>

<![CDATA[Enterococcus faecalis can withstand harsh environmental conditions in the root canal and cause a secondary infection. Myrmecodia pendens is an herbal medicine rich in polyphenol compounds that have antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Objectives: To analyze the effects of M. pendens fraction combination on the sensitivity of E. faecalis. Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using a serial microdilution method, and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was determined by adding the test sample to sterile Mueler Hinton agar medium. Results: The MIC of combination 1 (hexane-ethyl acetate, HE) was 0.049 mg/mL, whereas those of combinations 2 (hexane-water, HA) and 3 (ethyl acetate-water, EA) were 0.098 and 0.390 mg/ mL, respectively. The MIC of NaOCl was 0.390 mg/mL, and that of methanol extract was 0.390 mg/mL. The MBC of combination 1 (HE) was 12.50 mg/mL, whereas that of combinations 2 (HA) and 3 (EA) was 50 mg/mL. The MBC of NaOCl was 25 mg/mL and that of methanol extract was 50 mg/mL against E. faecalis. This study showed that fraction combinations increase the antibacterial effect of M. pendens against E. faecalis ATCC 29212. Conclusion: The HE fraction combination showed the best effect against E. faecalis and can be developed as an alternative endodontic irrigant]]>

<![CDATA[The relationship between orthodontic bracket systems and external root resorption has remained debatable. Objective: This study compared the magnitude and pattern of the external root resorption of maxillary incisors as induced by self-ligating and conventional bracket systems via cone beam computed tomography and medical imaging programs. Methods: Eight participants were recruited for each bracket system. Their maxillary incisors were scanned at the beginning (T0) and 18 months into treatment (T1). Three-dimensional models of the four maxillary incisors at T0 and T1 were reconstructed using the Mimics program. The difference in root length between T0 and T1 models represented external root resorption. Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann–Whitney tests were conducted to compare resorption within groups and between groups, respectively. The two models were also superimposed in the 3-matic program to reveal the pattern and magnitude of resorption as induced by the different complexities of tooth movement. Results: The root resorption in both groups was significant. The mean root resorption of the conventional system ranged from 0.14 mm to 0.51 mm, whereas the mean root resorption of the self-ligating system varied from 0.16 mm to 0.42 mm, but the mean difference between the groups was not significant. However, the pattern and magnitude of root resorption noticeably differed when the teeth were subjected to different complexities of tooth movement. Conclusion: The magnitude and pattern of root resorption seemed independent of the type of bracket system used but appeared dependent on the complexity of tooth movement.]]>

<![CDATA[Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) sounds are a common phenomenon in individuals with and without temporomandibular disorders (TMD). According to the Research Diagnostic Criteria of Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), there are the following two distinguished types of sound: click and crepitation. The implementation of diagnostic criteria in studies should be accompanied by a reliability assessment of these criteria. Objective: This study aimed to assess the intra- and inter-observer reliability of joint sounds examination, using the officially translated and culturally adapted Polish version of the RDC/TMD. Methods: Ninety-eight (n = 98) consecutive adult patients were examined during two clinical sessions by two independent examiners, based on the RDC/TMD examination. Results: The intra-observer reliability of clicking and crepitation examination was generally excellent, with fair-to-good intraclass correlation coefficient in case of crepitation during lateral movement in the same direction as the crepitation. The inter-observer reliability of clicking and crepitation was excellent; however, it was fair-to-good for clicking and crepitation during lateral movement in the same direction as the click. Conclusion: The intra-observer and inter-observer reliability of the officially translated and culturally adapted Polish version of the RDC/TMD is similar to that of examinations conducted worldwide. Therefore, the use of this examination protocol is justified in Poland.]]>

<![CDATA[The administration of glucocorticoids is proven to cause serious adverse events. Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the possible hazards of the short- and long-term administration of glucocorticoids on the periodontium in rats, using histological examination and scanning electron microscopy. Methods: Fifteen adult male albino rats were included in the study and divided into the 3 groups. Group I served as a control, group II received 7 mg/kg dexamethasone intramuscularly once a week for 5 wk, and group III received 7 mg/kg dexamethasone intramuscularly once a week for 10 wk. The mandibles were dissected and examined histologically as well as with scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive radiography. Results: Histologically, group I showed normal an alveolar process. In group II, bone trabeculae demonstrated obvious Howship’s lacunae of osteoclasts. In group III, bone trabeculae exhibited multiple degenerated osteocytes with apparent vacuolization. Scanning electron microscopy revealed smooth alveolar bone architecture in group I. Groups II and III demonstrated irregular bone architecture with widening of the neurovascular canals. EDX analysis demonstrated the highest calcium-phosphorous concentration in the control group and the lowest in group III. Conclusions: Dexamethasone has a devastating impact on the alveolar bone via the acceleration of bone resorption and decreased activity of osteoblasts. This effect was more pronounced with prolonged drug administration.]]>

<![CDATA[The World Health Organization (WHO) aims to strengthen oral health promotion and disease prevention around the globe. The prevalence and association of systemic diseases and oral diseases has been reported. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to investigate prevalence of medical conditions and oral diseases in elderly Thai dental patients. Methods: Three hundred dental records of patient aged 60 years old and older were retrospectively reviewed. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s Chi-square and Fisher›s exact test with the significant level at p < 0.05. Results: All of them were Thai of 142 males (47.3%) and 158 females (52.7%). Their age ranged between 60 and 85 years old with an average age of 66.1 ± 5.4 years old. Two third of patients had the history of systemic diseases (66.3%) and hypertension (10.3%) was the predominant one. Eighty-nine percent of patients had oral health problems. Fifteen percent were currently on antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs, and 15.4% had the history of drug allergy. The most prevalent oral diseases were tooth loss (87.7%) followed by periodontal diseases (80.0%), tooth wear (66.0%), dental caries (65.3%) and pulp diseases (54.0%). The prevalence of oral mucosal lesions, temporomandibular disorder and orofacial pain were 23.7%, 1.6% and 1.6%, respectively. Conclusion: The present study provides the information of medical conditions and oral diseases in a group of older Thai dental patients in the lower northern Thailand.]]>
