Abstract

Background: The developments in endodontics have created opportunities for patients to maintain functional teeth for longer. Surgical endodontic treatment, such as hemisection, has become a more conservative treatment than complex treatments, such as removable or fixed partial dentures or implants. Purpose: The aim of this treatment is to preserve the remaining tooth structure through a hemisection procedure and socket preservation using an alloplastic bone graft and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Case: A female patient presented with mastication pain and a large carious tooth in the right mandibular first molar and wanted to save the tooth. Examination showed deep caries and perforation in the bifurcation area of the tooth with loss of the distal crown. However, the mesial root could be preserved, thus hemisection was proposed. Case management: A root canal treatment was performed on the mesial root, followed by separation of the mesial and distal roots, and, finally, distal root extraction. A mixture of PRF and bone graft was used for socket preservation. The tooth was restored with a splinted zirconia crown. Conclusion: Hemisection with socket preservation using alloplastic bone graft and PRF represents a more conservative treatment option for molar teeth with extensive caries. This approach exhibits a good long-term prognosis and enhances the bone healing process.

Abstract

Background: Endodontic infections frequently occur in children and stand out as dental issues where antibiotics are widely favored. However, the recent overuse of antibiotics has resulted in the development of antimicrobial resistance in children. The awareness and understanding dental students have regarding the application of antibiotics for treating endodontic infections in pediatric patients have been explored in limited studies. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the understanding of fourth- and fifth-year dentistry students—who are actively involved in patient care during their internships and will soon become medical professionals—about prescribing antibiotics to treat endodontic infections. Methods: This study was conducted using the Google Form electronic survey method on intern students at three different faculties of dentistry who have started their clinical internships. Results: Data were obtained from 468 participants who responded to the survey within the scope of the study. Statistically significant differences were observed in terms of knowledge level between those who were informed and those who were not about general antibiotic knowledge, prescription awareness, pediatric antibiotics dose calculations, and parenteral antibiotic applications, as well as between the places where they were informed; the same difference was observed between those who considered the information they received sufficient and those who did not (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that dental students have inadequate knowledge about the use of antibiotics in children with endodontic infections. Nevertheless, the study concludes that the knowledge level of the students can be improved through various training and educational programs.

Abstract

Background: Complete tooth loss reduces a patient’s quality of life. The most suitable treatment option is complete denture fabrication, which provides an acrylic-based removable prosthesis as a substitute for all dentition and related structures. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of three types of artificial teeth—acrylic, composite, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milled denture teeth—and the effects of three surface treatments: bur roughening, air abrasion (AB), and dichloromethane (DCM). Methods: Milled CAD/CAM denture base resin was used to test three types of denture teeth: acrylic, composite, and milled CAD/CAM. A total of 120 maxillary right central incisors were used, with 40 of each tooth type. Each type was divided into four groups based on the treatment surface: control (no treatment), AB, bur roughening, and DCM. Universal testing equipment was used to measure SBS. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, and Duncan’s multiple range test was applied to compare mean values among groups. Results: Acrylic and CAD/CAM milled teeth demonstrated higher SBS compared with composite teeth. Teeth treated with AB and DCM surface treatments exhibited increased SBS across all tooth types compared with the control groups. Conclusion: Acrylic and CAD/CAM milled teeth show superior SBS compared with composite teeth. AB and DCM treatments effectively enhance SBS in all types of teeth.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has substantially impacted oral health services in Malaysia. The Prime Minister of Malaysia announced the “Transition to Endemic” phase of COVID-19. Although the World Health Organization issued provisional guidelines to address considerations for essential oral health services during the pandemic and endemic phases of COVID-19, there are limited studies on dental professionals’ knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding COVID-19. Purpose: To investigate the attitudes, perceptions, and preparedness of dental professionals in Malaysia during the transition from the pandemic to the endemic phase of COVID-19. Methods: This study was conducted among dental professionals practicing in Malaysia, either in the private or public sector. A cross-sectional online survey of 151 dentists was conducted between December 1, 2022, and January 13, 2023. A questionnaire was disseminated via Google Forms. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS for Windows, v. 22.0. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square test were used, with p < 0.05 considered significant. Results: The response rate was 100%. The majority of participants displayed a positive attitude toward the transition. Most respondents reported continuing to implement some general standard operating procedures in their dental practices. This study provides insights into the preparedness of dental practitioners in Malaysia for the transition from the COVID-19 pandemic to the endemic phase. Conclusions: The participants demonstrated a positive attitude and mental preparedness for the transition from pandemic to endemic, though some anticipated impacts on clinical practices during the post-lockdown period. This reflects an overall optimistic outlook among dental practitioners during this transition.

Abstract

Background: There is a potential correlation between tooth loss and dental caries in both obese and underweight patients. The presence of extensive dental caries can delay the process of eating, leading to a subsequent decrease in body weight. Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the correlation between dental caries and body mass index (BMI) in schoolchildren residing in Mosul City. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on a randomized sample of 7- to 10-year-old school students. The study assessed the clinical characteristics, namely the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT/dmft) index. The DMFT index represents the number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth in the permanent dentition, while the dmft index pertains to deciduous dentition. After adjusting for age, gender, height, and weight, BMI-age percentiles were determined using the BMI Percentile Calculator for Children and Teens. Children were then categorized as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. In the statistical analysis, the Kruskal–Wallis test was employed to examine variations between categorical variables. Results: The prevalence of dental caries in primary dentition was found to be 80.33%, whereas in permanent dentition, it was 50.33%. The majority of children affected by caries were in the obesity and overweight categories, followed by those with normal weight, while the lowest proportion was observed among underweight children. Conclusion: The findings indicate variations in the occurrence of dental caries across different subgroups of children based on their BMI-age percentiles.
