Abstract

Background: General dental practitioners (GDP) are responsible for providing new patients with periodontal screening. However, the knowledge, attitude, practices, awareness, and confidence (KAPAC) of GDP in performing basic periodontal examination (BPE) are still unclear. Purpose: This study identified the KAPAC towards performing BPE among GDP. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire, distributed online to Malaysian GDP. The questionnaire consisted of six sections: respondents’ demographics, knowledge, attitude, practices, awareness, and confidence in performing BPE. Data were analysed descriptively and Spearman’s correlation coefficient test was employed to determine the correlation between knowledge, attitude and practices towards awareness and confidence. Results: A total of 137 GDP responded to the questionnaire. Majority of respondents demonstrated good knowledge (73.0%), positive attitude (89.8%) and good practices (75.0%) towards performing BPE. Only 66.4% and 51.8% of respondents had high awareness and confidence, respectively. The knowledge and practices of BPE showed a weak positive correlation (p<0.05) with awareness and confidence in performing BPE, with correlation coefficients ranging from r=0.211 to r=0.346. Conclusion: A moderate to good level of KAPAC is found among GDP towards BPE. Patient oral health outcomes would benefit from a greater focus on periodontal screening education and practice. Further emphasis should be placed on the importance of periodontal screenings for patient care.

Abstract

Background: Adolescent patients with maxillary hypoplasia due to cleft may benefit from maxillary protraction therapy. Purpose: This review aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of different maxillary protraction methods in adolescents with cleft palate through a systematic review and network meta-analysis. Methods: Relevant studies were identified through electronic searches of the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to 2024. Randomized and controlled clinical trials assessing maxillary protraction outcomes in this population were included. Risk of bias was evaluated, and pooled data were analyzed using a random-effects model and network meta-analytic techniques. Results: The post-treatment results of A-VRP, ANB, A-N perp, Wits, overjet, and SNA landmark mean differences indicate successful correction of class III malocclusion and protrusion of the maxilla. Based on a subgroup study of the face mask with mini-plate (FM-MP) and class III intermaxillary elastic (C3-IE) subgroups, the FM-MP subgroup exhibited more pronounced alterations in SNA, ANB, and overjet features than the C3-IE subgroup. When the outcomes of these two treatment methods were examined, no statistically significant differences were discovered—except for the overjet subgroup. Utilizing class III elastics with bone anchors was less successful in boosting overjet than using FM-MPs. Conclusion: Maxillary protraction therapy is a good substitute for teenagers with cleft lip and palate deformities.

Abstract

Background: Uneven dentition is a cause of dissatisfaction to many. However, irregularities in teeth may be less unattractive when viewed from a full-face perspective than from a circumoral view. Purpose: To ascertain the influence of dental aesthetics (DA) on the overall appraisal of facial aesthetics (FA) and to compare the perception of the general population with that of dental experts. Methods: Frontal and circumoral view photographs with mild-to-moderate dental asymmetries were selected for FA and DA evaluation. Participants from the general population assessed attractiveness using a questionnaire (validated in a pilot study) with questions on FA and DA. Dental experts assessed attractiveness using the Dental Esthetic Screening Index with extraoral and intraoral components. Smile mesh measurements were taken to calculate the various attributes of smiles. Results: The experts considered that all the images had insufficient-to-good aesthetics (mean score: 20.82±6.545), and a statistically significant correlation was identified between the two variables (R2=0.04, p=0.0015). The general population considered all the images to have satisfactory-to-good aesthetics (mean score: 15.8±3.006), and no correlation was identified between the two variables for all the images taken individually and cumulatively (R2=0.002, p=0.46). It was observed that there was a statistically significant correlation between patient scores as the dependent variable and expert scores as the independent variable (R2=0.24, p<0.001). Conclusion: Facial attractiveness overshadowed dental irregularities and influenced the general population’s judgment; however, the dental experts’ judgment was influenced by intraoral aesthetics.

Abstract

Background: Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is widely used in bone grafting due to its biocompatibility and bioresorbability. Recently, there has been growing interest in using sustainable materials, such as green mussel shells, as an alternative source for β-TCP. These shells, rich in calcium carbonate, provide a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative for β-TCP synthesis. Purpose: To fabricate composite blocks from β-TCP derived from green mussel shells, mixed with polyacrylic acid (PAA), using a setting reaction and freeze-drying method. Methods: Beta-tricalcium phosphate powder was obtained via wet precipitation, starting with calcium carbonate from green mussel shells, converting it to calcium oxide, and then to β-TCP. The resulting powder was mixed with PAA, set, and freeze-dried to form composite blocks. Results: Characterization of the composite blocks for porosity and diametral tensile strength (DTS) showed that blocks made with green mussel shell-derived β-TCP had rougher surfaces due to larger particles than control blocks made with commercial β-TCP. Composite blocks with 70% green mussel shell-derived β-TCP and 30% PAA exhibited significantly higher porosity (26.97% ± 2.64%) and DTS (11.76 ± 1.59 MPa) than those made with commercial β-TCP (porosity: 13.40% ± 1.56%; DTS: 7.79 ± 1.29 MPa). Reducing β-TCP content to 60% resulted in increased porosity (34.22% ± 1.84%) and lower DTS (6.41 ± 0.78 MPa). Conclusion: Composite blocks made from green mussel shell-derived β-TCP and PAA showed higher porosity and significantly higher DTS than blocks made from commercial β-TCP. Decreasing β-TCP content increased porosity but decreased DTS.
