Abstract Oral hygiene, which is measured by the status of plaque-free tooth surfaces, is essential for the promotion of oral health. This study aimed to determine the social predictors of good oral hygiene for children in a suburban population in Nigeria. This was a secondary analysis of data. The study participants were 8- to 16-year-old children who were residents in Ile-Ife, which is a suburban population in Nigeria. Information on the age, gender, socioeconomic status, family structure, number...

Abstract Recently, it has been suggested that the anti-inflammatory hormone ghrelin (GHRL) and its receptor GHS-R may play a pivotal role in periodontal health and diseases. However, their exact regulation and effects in periodontitis are not known. The aim of this in-vitro study was to investigate the effect of microbial and inflammatory insults on the GHS-R1a expression in human osteoblast-like cells. MG-63 cells were exposed to interleukin (IL)-1β and Fusobacterium nucleatum in the presence and...

Abstract Nowadays, demand for esthetic restorations has risen considerably; thus, nonmetal esthetic posts made of either high-strength ceramics or reinforced resins, such as fiber-reinforced resin posts, have become more and more popular. Important characteristics of fiber-reinforced posts involve a modulus of elasticity similar to dentin and their ability to be cemented by an adhesive technique. A total of 36 maxillary incisors were divided into four groups. In this study, four adhesively luted...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of periodontal treatment on the salivary cytokine levels and clinical parameters of individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) with gingivitis. A non-randomized, clinical trial was conducted in individuals diagnosed with spastic CP. Thirty-eight individuals were enrolled in the study and were categorized according to gingival index scores between 0-1 or 2-3, assigned to groups G2 or G1, respectively. Periodontal treatment comprised oral hygiene...

Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on tooth extraction sites in rats treated with bisphosphonates. Thirty Albinus Wistar male rats were administered 0.035 mg/kg zoledronic acid intravenously for 8 weeks, divided into four administrations with a 2-week interval between each application, after which their upper right central incisors were extracted to induce the development of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). The samples were...

Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the concentration of total fluoride (TF) and total soluble fluoride (TSF) in children’s dentifrices marketed in the city of Lima, Peru. Three samples of 23 dentifrices (4 without fluoride and 19 with fluoride) were purchased in different pharmacies in Lima, Peru. The TF and TSF concentrations found in the dentifrices were determined by ion-selective electrode, expressed in ppm F (μg F/g of dentifrice). The TF concentration in the majority of...

Patients presenting at least one NCCL were included. NCCLs (n=148) were randomly assigned to 4 groups: NE (Non-EWBT + three-step etch-and-rinse (Scotchbond Multi Purpose, 3M ESPE [MP]), E (EWBT + MP); EB (EWBT + [Bond – third step of MP]), and...

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the association between weight status and ΔDMFS among 12-year-old schoolchildren from South Brazil. A total of 801 12-year-old schoolchildren were followed-up for 2.5 ± 0.3 years. Data collection included questionnaire, recording of anthropometric measures (height and weight), and caries examination. The outcome was the difference between DMFS (number of decayed, missing or filled surfaces) at follow-up and baseline (ΔDMFS). Weight status, based on body...

We describe a 49-year-old white woman who presented to the oral diagnosis clinic with a 10-year history of asymptomatic desquamation of the oral mucosa. Her medical history showed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis that had been treated with 50mg of levothyroxine sodium daily for 20 years. No history of allergy or local trauma was reported. Intraoral examination showed greyish-white strips coming off the buccal mucosa. These layers came off spontaneously, or could be peeled off easily, leaving beneath a clinically...

The absence of the submandibular gland and the enlargement of the ipsilateral sublingual gland has been reported previously, and may occur unilaterally or bilaterally. The finding may be incidental, as a symptom associated with reduced saliva, or an enlarged gland, or it can manifest as a mass in the neck.1–5 Although aplasia or atrophy of the submandibular gland is thought to cause hypertrophy of other glands, including the sublingual gland, compensation of function by the glands has not been shown...

Photography is an essential technique to record clinical practice in modern dental aesthetics. In particular, it can be used on patients having oral and maxillofacial surgery to obtain high-quality images before, during, and after operation. The images can be available for surgeons to reflect on themselves, develop their surgical skills, facilitate their communication with patients, and improve the patient’s knowledge. Currently, a number of designs and equipment are available for surgical photography...

It has been widely shown that minimally-invasive surgery for benign tumours of the parotid gland improves function (by reducing the amount of resected normal parotid tissue and facial nerve branches), shortens the operating time, and reduces postoperative complications. It is also oncologically safe and secures low recurrence.1–5 It is, however, controversial in lesions within the parapharyngeal space.

In‐vivo accuracy of tooth surface reconstruction based on CBCT and dental MRI—a clinical pilot study
Abstract Objectives Guided implant surgery (GIS) requires alignment of virtual models to reconstructions of three‐dimensional imaging. Accurate visualization of the tooth surfaces in the imaging datasets is mandatory. In this prospective clinical study, in‐vivo tooth surface accuracy was determined for GIS using cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) and dental magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). Materials and Methods CBCT and 3‐Tesla dMRI were performed in 22 consecutive patients (mean age:...

Periodontitis progresses due to increased levels of active metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the imbalance between MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). Natural curcumin limits the lytic activity of MMPs but has low cellular uptake. Use of synthetic curcumin analogs could be a means of overcoming this limitation of treatment efficiency. Human periodontal stem cells were isolated from gingival tissue, gingival ligament fibers, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. The effect of five synthetic curcumin...
