Abstract:

Despite the technological advances in dentistry in recent years, there still exist major challenges for restoring endodontically treated teeth in special cases where the root is weakened. The objective of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically fiber posts with and without accessories associated with a self-adhesive resin-modified glass-ionomer. in restoring structurally compromised upper permanent central incisors in children. Thirty patients (10 -15 years) had a structurally compromised upper permanent central incisor with different degrees of flaring and indicated for rehabilitation. The patients divided into 3 groups, 10 specimens each. Group I: patients with over-flared canal were restored with only master fiber posts. Group II: patients with over-flared canal were restored with master posts and one accessory fiber post. Group III: patients with over-flared canal were restored with master posts and two accessories. All 3 groups used a self adhesive resin-modified glass ionomer (GC Equia) as root reinforcing material and core build-up. Another ten patients were used as control group (normal canals) using only master posts. The data were collected and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Clinical evaluation, showed no displacement of reinforcing system or displacement of any fiber posts. There was no fracture in the core or the reinforcing material in any of studied groups. Radiographic evaluation showed that no evidence of root fracture, external root resorption and no periapical or periodontal pathology requiring crown removal for clinical interference. The clinical findings showed 100% early success rate of reinforcing system in the studied technique for root rehabilitation. It is concluded that the use of accessory fiber posts associated with self-adhesive RM-GIC is an effective promising method and a better alternative to single post in clinical practice.

Abstract:

The dental implants represent a useful method in solving many problems in restoring edentulous or partially edentulous patients. Their integration to the jaw bone can be predicated to large extent; however marinating such integration depends on many biomechanical factors that should be considered. The implant position in relation to occlusal plane; the amount and direction of occlusal loads and connection to natural abutments are among these factors. In order to predict the clinical behavior of a specific implant configuration for treating certain partially edentulous or completely edentulous situations; several methods can be utilized in vitro. Strain gages and finite element analysis (FEA) methods are widely used for these purposes. The current presentation tries to cast light on some questions; linear or staggered arrangement of implants in completely edentulous situations. Is it safe to connect an implant to natural abutment with different bone support in over- denture design? What kind of attachment to use when using an implant for extensive mandibular partially edentulous situation as an abutment for implant supported removable partial denture? Finally is it necessary to splint in the previous situations. The current presentation tries to address these issues with the results of several in vitro studies conducted by the author\'s research group using FEA and strain gages

Abstract:

For a long period of time the orthodontic treatment has covereded a big percent of People`s treatments . Nowadays, in order to get new goals to reach gold standard we need to obtain not only right teeth but also a facial harmony, functional occlusion, increase airway space, peridonthal health, TMJ health. Therefore, to obtain all these goals we need to work together with surgeans in Orthodontic and sugery treatment.. Time ago we used to treat all our patients trough diferent orthodontic techniques to obtain in severe skeletal anomalies some good results. The wrong idea was to compensate the skelatal cases . The ortodontic treatment did not get the goals.. Now when we work with patients with severe and moderate skeletal problems we choose the Orthodontic and surgical treatment, improving the results and decreasing treatment time.

Abstract:

Generation of specific antibody response is a critical component of host defense against pathogenic microorganism and HIV is no exception. HIV specific antibodies of immunoglobulin isotypes IgA, IgG and IgM are readily found in salivary secretions of infected individuals but at levels considerably lower than found in blood. HIV specific antibodies were detected in saliva and serum samples by ELISA in established HIV sero-positives. The results were found to be 99% sensitive and 100% specific for saliva samples, which proved that saliva can be used as a substitute to blood for detection of HIV antibodies and saliva collection is painless, non-invasive, low-cost, easy and fast as well. This paper highlights the salivary antibodies testing which may provide better access to epidemic outbreaks, children, large populations, hard-to-reach risk groups and may thus play a major role in the HIV surveillance and manage the spread of HIV.

Abstract:

This study aimed to compare the clinical outcome of two in-office dental bleaching techniques in vital teeth with hydrogen peroxide. Currently, new dental bleaching technologies have been introduced in the market to speed up the whitening results .Evaluate clinical performance of available technologies in relation to both efficacy and safety aspects are of utmost importance. All subjects were assigned to the treatments in a split-mouth study design. The systems tested were a brand new 46% hydrogen peroxide gel laser activated at 940nm (400μm fiber diameter; 10min; 7W; 30S) (LaserWhite20, Biolase, USA) or 38% hydrogen peroxide conventional gel (Power Whitening, WHITEsmile, Germany). Laser-assisted system was evaluated on the right quadrants of upper and lower jaws, while conventional hydrogen peroxide system on the left quadrants. The degree of color change was evaluated using a spectrophotometer based on VITAscale (Shade Star, Degudent, Germany) immediately after treatments. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test or Student t test setting a significance level of 5%. Both treatments performed were effective in promoting tooth whitening (p<0.05). No differences among teeth and arches were observed within each treatment group (p>0.05). Laser-assisted system resulted in lower shade values in both upper and lower jaws when compared to the conventional treatment (p<0.05). Laser-assisted system has shown enhanced tooth whitening than conventional treatment without irradiation in an immediate post bleaching assessment.

Abstract:

Describe a modern technique, non-invasive, based on tomography CBCT to measure the dimensions and analyze the relationships of various periodontal structures and dental-gingival attachments. This simple method called ST-CBCT and has wide application in various dental specialties as periodontics, implant dentistry, orthodontics, prosthodontics and restorative dentistry. Furthermore, this method will help clinicians in different specialties for interdisciplinary approach. It is important to mention that this is a quantitative and not qualitative method, because discrimination is specific macro and microscopic features of tissues can not be viewed. For example, an inflamed gingiva would have a similar appearance in the ST-CBCT acquisition as a healthy gingiva. Similarly, it is not possible to distinguish different types of soft tissue (gingival epithelium and connective tissue exhibit the same appearance in acquiring STCBCT). A clear view of both soft tissue and hard periodontal structures was not managing CBCT acquisition without retraction of soft tissue and that is our discovery and we have several cases to present with great aplicaçações and clinical outcomes. Despite the fact that several CBCT systems were recently presented one of the greatest limitations of these systems is their inability to discriminate soft tissues. We reported earlier that this limitation is particularly the CBCT system and this is due to its low contrast resolution. Some articles describe different techniques to measure gingival thicknesses and distances between the structures of the periodontium. Bone probing or transgingival drilling have been widely applied for these purposes, however, this method is uncomfortable for the patient because it is invasive and must be performed through the use of local anesthesia. In addition, it is sometimes difficult to accurately determine the position of some structures, such as the CEJ and the bone crest. Also the palatal masticatory mucosa is the main donor area of soft tissue grafts, when you need to increase the dimensions of keratinized tissue around teeth and implants, cover exposed roots, and locally increase the alveolar thickness (Wennström & Pini Prato 2003). Connective tissue grafts are also indicated for increasing root complete coverage probability when associated with advanced types of gingival recession (Cortellini et al 2009;. 2008 Cairo et al.). While the choice of thickness of the palatal mucosa are of great value to better predict the outcome of various surgical procedures, pre-surgical evaluation of the donor area of thickness is usually neglected due to lack of safe methods for this purpose. For studies that applied conventional histology in cadavers to determine the thickness of the palatal mucosa (Kydd et al. 1971), the researcher had a "general idea" of the best area for removing graft. However, each patient and each area showed variations in the amount available for removal. Invasive methods such as use of needles and periodontal probes have been described in the literature (Greenberg et al., 1976, Wolf et al. 2004). These methods present a great disadvantage because they require local anesthesia and is thus usually performed immediately prior to removal of the graft, not allowing perfect planning and preoperative procedure. A non-invasive method that applies an ultrasonic device was also described; however, this method presents a certain degree of difficulty to obtain reliable results (Müller et al. 1999), however, we reported earlier that CBCT can be applied to visualize and measure the complex soft tissue dental-gum and now to evaluate. Because of limited knowledge of individual thicknesses and regional differences of the palatal mucosa, we developed a CBCT technology-based method to constantly view and precisely the dimensions of the palatal masticatory mucosa. This simple and non-invasive technique requires a CT (CBCT) standard and materials commonly used in dental offices. I would also present a study associated with Professor Jan Lindhe on evaluation of alveolar bone thickness in anterior teeth on a survey of more than 250 patients and evaluated more than 4,500 sites. This work is of paramount importance in periodontics, implant dentistry and orthodontics. In summary, we describe a new, non-invasive and powerful method for clinical data dimensions and relationships of various periodontal and dentogengivais attachments structures. This method will definitely help clinicians in planning and executing various procedures in dentistry with increased predictability.

Abstract:

Recent advances in ceramics have greatly improved the functional and esthetic properties of restorative materials. New materials offer an esthetic and functional oral rehabilitation, however their impact on opposing teeth is not well-documented. Scientifically, there are several methods of measuring the wear process of natural dentition which enhances the comparison of the results complicated. This conference will present an overview of the newly used prosthetic materials and their implication on antagonist teeth or prostheses, especially emphasizing the behavior of zirconia restorations. No current material can fulfill all of the requirements of an ideal restorative material, considering esthetic, mechanical and economic demands. Material as well as patient factors are implemented. Several factors will be raised. Patient selection and controlling wear factors are essential. Careful tooth preparation, adequate core support of veneering porcelain, proper occlusal adjustment, and careful cementation technique will enhance success and longevity rates Ceramic material has been shown to destroy enamel, whereas Gold is reported to be kind to antagonist. Machined ceramic is the less abrasive than condensable one. Lack of a sound standard and wear incidence on the opposing teeth, limit the use of monolithic zirconia crowns. Available data shows low enamel wear when opposed to zirconia. The zirconia fine uniform structure allows a mirror polishing. Concerns remain regarding the structural stability of zirconium dioxide ceramics when exposed to the oral environment. Compared to metal-ceramic restorations, lower loads accumulation initiated porcelain veneer damage and failure in the case of zirconia.

Abstract:

There are a number of criteria that are viewed as essential components of an attractive smile. The interaction between the teeth and the lips is one, and on top, of these components and must not be overlooked. The upper lip curvature is assessed from the central position to the corner of the mouth in smiling. It either upward, straight when or downward. Smile symmetry is the relative positioning of the corners of the mouth in the vertical plane, can be assessed by the parallelism of the commissural and pupillary lines while smile symmetry is the different positioning of the two corners of the mouth in the vertical plane. Smile asymmetry has many causes and can be treated using different approaches. Smile asymmetry can be categorised into true and pseudo asymmetrical smile where each has different methods of diagnosis and management. Patients with missing maxillary posterior teeth and deficient buccal plate of bone will develop asymmetrical smile which can be corrected by bone augmentation and dental implants. In the Asymmetrical lip related Skeletal deformity the vertical preference line was constructed and the horizontal reference line was constructed Intergonial.

Abstract:

Dentists are known for their major role and that is to render dental treatment but they are also expected to be proficient and prepared during critical situations particularly on the off chance that it happens in one's dental clinic. The accessible data concluded that dental graduates across the world are not satisfactorily skilled in handling medical emergencies; an issue obliging an enhanced undergraduate training. The main thrusts of the study were to determine the profile of the respondents in terms of number of years in practice, types of workplace, and seminars attended. It was paramount to recognize the practices, skills and knowledge of dentists in handling common emergencies and their points of view regarding this concern to be able to identify the necessary proposed improvement program. Purposive sampling technique was utilized in choosing the respondents. Inclusion criteria focused on dentists with established dental office located in Manila, Makati and Quezon City that are practicing for more than 5 years. Questionnaire was validated and undergone Crochbach’s Alpha reliability test prior to distribution among the respondents. Data gathered revealed that dentists in the selected cities are not well-informed with regards to protocols of different medical emergency conditions. The respondents were also unprepared in handling different medications that deals with different routes of administration like intravenous injection of Epinephrine or intramuscular injection of Dipenhydramine and were slightly unprepared in carrying out task such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and Heimlich maneuver. Therefore, different suggestions were highly recommended such as amendment of laws and provision of policies and guidelines in handling common medical emergencies among dentist nationwide, improvement of dental curriculum through establishment of urgent care clinic and integration of course subject that deals with the medical emergency management. At the end of the study an improvement program dealing with medical emergencies management was proposed.

Abstract:

Detailed knowledge of root canal anatomy and awareness of the configuration of the pulp canal are essential when practicing root canal therapy. There are evident indications that root canal morphology is almost limitless in its variability. The unusual number of canals should always be expected in various teeth. Untreated root canals may cause failure of the treatment. Mandibular second premolars are known to have a single canal. The incidence of their having two or three canals was reported to vary from 0 to 34.3%. Case reports describing four canals in mandibular second premolar have been occasionally According to El-Deeb the mandibular premolars may show wide variation in their root canal anatomy. Thus, the recognition of atypical anatomy is important even though it is not usually encountered. . A case report is presented that deals with the successful treatment of a mandibular second premolar with three canals.

Abstract:

Current concepts suggest that endodontic infections are caused by microbial biofilms that are formed on the dentinal surfaces of root canal system. Coaggregation and Coadhesion reactions of microorganisms are significant factors in development, stabilization, and maintenance of complex communities. A good understanding of the coaggregation of bacteria in root canal infection, is important to enable development of techniques to eliminate microbial biofilm. Interactions between Enterococcus faecalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum found in root canal infections might be important for the development and persistence of endodontic disease. Various coaggregation mechanisms are the cause for these bacterial interactions. Coaggregation inhibition of bacteria will simplify the eradication of bacteria from the root canal. This presentation will revisit the coaggregation and coaggregation inhibition of bacteria in the endodontic biofilm.

Abstract:

The explosive development of new technology in endodontic therapy, as well as innovative solutions to unanswered questions of the past in the field of Endodontics, will continue at an exponential rate well into this millennium. Although the latest tools for performing endodontics, such as rotary instrumentation and thermoplastic obturation techniques, have elevated the specialty to a level of sophistication never before attained, a number of areas remain that require significant advancement. Diagnosis is one of the areas of main concern. While medicine has catapulted itself in the areas of prevention and diagnosis, endodontics is lagging behind in these areas. Pulpal diagnosis may no longer be strictly based upon ice application or tapping a tooth with the end of a mirror handle but we still continue to use this as the main tool. Scenarios such as these are not too far off in the distant future and that’s why Supporters of Dental Implants keep on threating the unconquered regime of Endodontics. Priority areas in endodontics which can improve further upon the success rate includes conservation of tooth structure, improved cleaning and shaping with Irrigation and replacing traditional Gutta Percha with some biological Polymer or some similar smart material To imagine an endodontic obturating material that would completely seal a system and alter its structure or release a chemical in response to a pH change or bacterial influx is another possibility. The future of Endodontics has never looked so bright, promising and exciting….the unspoken Tension is here but can be taken care off.

Abstract:

The success of endodontic treatment depends on three factors –biomechanical preparation, disinfection and three dimensional obturation of root canal. All these factors are important but access cavity preparation is an important step of root canal treatment as all other factors precedes this step. A well designed access preparation is essential for good endodontic result. Inadequate access may lead to intricacy of negotiating the root canal, missed canals and difficulty in subsequent steps of biomechanical preparation, disinfection, obturation and ultimately leading to failure of the treatment. Knowledge of pulp chamber morphology, along with an examination of preoperative radiographs, should be incorporated while designing the access cavity. A properly prepared access cavity creates a smooth, straight line path to the canal system and ultimately to the apex or canal curvature. Due to advancement like surgical microscope which aid for better vision, ultrasonic instruments design and new improved clinical techniques helps the clinician to perform this step more efficiently. This paper highlights the common features in root canal anatomy and outlines basic principles for locating root canals and producing a good access cavity. It will also describe the recent armamentarium for gaining the access to root canal. In this modern era of instrument driven endodontic it is imperative that one should understands that the efficacy of cleaning and shaping is effective only if an adequate access opening is done and all root canal opening are visible. The precise and proper execution of this step make the path more easier for the clinician to reach the destination.

Abstract:

WHO data reveal that craniofacial anomalies affect approximately 1:500–700 live births, with cleft lip and palate (CLP) being the most common and the ratio varying widely across geographic locations. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently estimated that, each year in the United States, about 2,650 babies are born with a cleft palate and 4,440 babies are born with a cleft lip with or without a cleft palate. Evidence shows that, in addition to coping with their physical appearance, children with cleft anomaly in general have to deal with their psychological issues/ psycho-social limitations like lowered self esteem and difficulties in social interaction. Existing multispecialty care is primarily aimed at physical rehabilitation with the psychological issues of care often being neglected. It is recommended that every member of cleft care team should have basic understanding of various psychological issues of concern to CLP patients and their parents so that these issues can be taken care of during the management of cleft lip and palate. The need to provide psychological support to CLP patients and their parents is critical because of extensive and prolonged surgical and rehabilitative interventions, including orthodontic treatment, throughout the childhood and adolescence as the child’s face grows from birth to adolescence. This paper discusses the various psychosocial issues amongst children and adults with cleft lip and cleft palate.

Abstract:

One of the challenges the orthodontist might face in the daily practice, patients with congenitally missing teeth with anterior and posterior spaces. The case is known as hypodontia, it could be mild to moderate (few teeth) or severe (more teeth to complete absence). In the anterior region, the most commonly are the maxillary lateral incisors or the mandibular central incisor, and in the posterior region the mandibular or maxillary second premolars. The treatment strategy will be either to close the space or open it, and replace the missing teeth with different modalities. In the anterior spaces a resin bonded bridge, a conventional fixed partial denture, implants or transplantation can be used when decided to open the space, or using canines to replace maxillary lateral incisors when decided to close the spaces. For the posterior spaces the choice is to upright the first molars and use conventional fixed partial dentures or implants. Each decision has its criteria, indications, contraindications, advantages and disadvantages. The treatment planning needs good interdisciplinary teams work with good diagnosis tools (study models, radiographs, photos and diagnostic wax up).

Abstract:

All-ceramic crowns have been extensively used in prosthodontics in recent years for their superior gingival response and esthetic quality, while achieving similar marginal accuracies when compared to traditional metal-based restorations. CAD/CAM, which is computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing technology, offers a superior advantage of time-saving procedures and precise dimensions, which give more control over the products of this type of technique. The use of toughened ceramics such as yttrium-stabilized zirconium offers a more fracture-resistant application of all-ceramic crowns to the posterior region without sacrificing esthetic qualities. The use of press-on ceramic over the zirconium core combines the high bond strength and superior interface quality achieved using press-on ceramics with the superior esthetics obtained by using layering ceramics. A laboratory research to compare the fracture strength between monolithic lithium di-silicate pressed crowns and the bi-layered zirconium based pressed crowns with two different coping design will be discussed and presented.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic success rates of two different pulpotomy agents: one novel agent, the biologically active odontogenic protein enamel matrix derivative (EMD) versus formocresol (FC). A randomized, single-blind, split-mouth study was used with a sample of 15 children aged 4 to 7 years (mean age, 5 ± 0.73 years). A total of 15 pairs of teeth, 1 pair per child, were selected for treatment. One tooth from each pair was randomly assigned to either the EMD pulpotomy group or the FC pulpotomy group. All teeth were followed up clinically and radiographically at 2, 4, and 6 months. After 6 months , the clinical success rates for the FC and EMD groups were 67% and 93%, respectively. Although most likely clinically relevant, the clinical success rate difference after 6 months was not statistically significant. After 6 months, the radiographic success rates for the FC and EMD groups were 13% and 60 %, respectively. This was a statistically significant difference at p ≤ 0.05. The clinical and radiographic assessment of EMD pulpotomized teeth in this study offers preliminary evidence that EMD is a promising material which may be as successful, or more so, than other pulpotomy agents.

Abstract:

Obesity as one of the most significant health risks of modern society, is now recognized a major health concern in both developed and developing countries. The prevalence of obesity is increasing at alarming rates reaching epidemic proportions particularly among children and young adults. Analyzing the effect of nutritional variables on gingival and periodontal health questions the role of obesity and overweight in periodontal disease pathogenesis. However, studies exploring the relationship between obesity and periodontal disease from developing countries with different eating habits and health behaviors are scarce. The objective of this study was to assess overall and abdominal obesity and their relation to periodontal disease among young adults. The sample comprised 380 young adults (170 males and 210 females) ranging from 20 to 26 years. Body mass index (BMI) and Waist circumference (WC) were measured to assess overall and abdominal obesity. Clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival index (GI) and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) were measured. Results revealed a significant correlation between BMI & WC and CAL, GI & CPI in females. In males, a significant correlation was only recorded between WC and GI & CPI. It is concluded that overall and abdominal obesity of young adult females and abdominal obesity of males were significantly associated with periodontal disease.

Abstract:

Root canal preparation is one of the most important stages in endodontic treatment which aids both is cleaning and shaping of the canals. A well-shaped canal helps both in irrigation and obturation. Canal preparation can be achieved by different techniques, systems and concepts among which single file canal preparation is the latest. The single-file root canal preparation was first introduced by Yared in 2008 , who proposed the use of only one F2 file (Tulsa Dentsply, Tulsa, OK, USA) in a reciprocating motion for the preparation of curved root canals. Shortly thereafter, some manufacturers adopted this technique and introduced different files with a unique flute design, cross sectional shape, alloy, and working motion to the market. The aim of this lecture to describe and synthesize the available literature about different single-file systems and evaluate their overall efficiency.

She is the author of a book (Utility of MDCT in fibro-osseous lesions of craniofacial complex) published by Lambert Academic Publishing, available online since Feb.2015.

Abstract:

Fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial bones comprise a diverse group of pathologic conditions that includes developmental lesions, reactive or dysplastic diseases, and neo-plasms. They share many similar histo-pathological features with other non-fibro-osseous disease processes that develop within the jawbones. Thus a definitive diagnosis of fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) requires a correlation of the histological features with the clinical, radiographic, and intra-operative findings. This study highlights the importance of the role of multi-detector row CT images, in assessment of fibro-osseous lesions in craniofacial complex in patients with known fibro-osseous lesions, facial disfigurement, and facial swelling. MDCT including reformations better delineate craniofacial complex anatomy than do single detector row CT images. It becomes possible to depict the complete path of complex structures. It is confirmed to be valuable in diagnosis and in guiding the surgical interventions by allowing pre-operative delineation of craniofacial complex anatomy. The proximity of the various components is best appreciated when the area is viewed in axial and coronal sections and different reconstructive methods using sub-millimetric thickness. MDCT is a powerful diagnostic and illustrative tool that will narrow the gap between the radiologists and the surgeons.

Abstract:

In day-to-day clinical experience, dental and medical practitioners often encounter a wide spectrum of oral mucosal lesions. But advancement in diagnostic aids reduces the morbidity and mortality associated with oral diseases. In the past decades, adjunctive techniques like toluidine blue, ViziLite, VEL scope, Oral CDx & brush biopsy facilitated the detection & distinctions between oral benign & malignant lesions. Oral brush cytology has been found to be very useful for detection of cancer and precancer. Touch imprint cytology is a valuable tool in evaluation of sentinel lymph node biopsy, tumor margins etc. Chemiluminescence is one of the newly developed adjuncts, employed as an adjunct for the early detection of cervical cancer and pre-cancer. Flow cytometry is an important method used to analyze cell kinetics and protein expression in normal and tumor cells. A major advancement in the quantitative study of mRNA is Microarray technology known as DNA chips that helps determine the expression levels of hundreds and thousands of genes. Immunohistochemistry has provided insight into tumor histopathogenesis and contributed to more accurate determination of patient prognosis. Nanotechnology is applied to various fields of medicine like pharamacological experiments and cancer therapeutics also as a means for drug delivery .Currently, computerized image systems have been increasingly applied as useful tools in oral health, aiding in clinical diagnosis and research. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the various diagnostic aids used to detect oral precancerous and cancerous lesion, with their implication and limitations along with advancement in techniques.

Josef Kucera is an Assistant professor at the Department of Orthodontics at the Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. He completed his degree in Orthodontics in 2009 and is a PhD student at the Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic.

Abstract:

Unexpected complications (X-effect, Twist-effect) associated with the use of fixed orthodontic retainers are a relatively rare finding. However, they may cause unwanted tooth movement which can have detrimental effects on periodontal tissues. As much as half of these patients may require retreatment, depending on the severity of the complication and the amount of unexpected tooth movement. In the presented case, a 28-year-old female with a Miller class III gingival recession defect that occurred 6 years of orthodontic retention phase was retreated with a fixed appliance followed by reconstructive periodontal treatment. Orthodontic retreatment improved the root positions of the affected teeth in the alveolar bone and reduced the degree of gingival recession. A modified tunneling technique with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG) was then applied to cover the exposed root surface and restore the gingival tissues. At the 3-year follow-up examination no visible difference in clinical crown length or gingival tissue appearance was observed. An interdisciplinary approach combining orthodontic and a periodontal reconstructive treatment of a severe unexpected complication of a lower fixed retainer was succesfully used to correct the malposition of teeth and cover the denuded root surface. In cases where long-term retention with fixed retainers is indicated, precautionary measures should be taken and patients should be encouraged to come for regular recalls. Patients, as well as dentist and hygienists should be informed about the risks of these complications and should take an active part in monitoring of lower fixed retainers to prevent the development of severe complications.

Abstract:

Multiple agenesis is a rare kind of anomaly and its solution could be rather difficult – including setting up an ideal treatment plan and co-ordinating the whole treatment process – since several dental disciplines take part in the process of the treatment. When setting up the treatment plan, not only the number of teeth of agenesis, but also the sagital relation of jaws and vertical discrepancy have to be taken into account. Therefore, orthodontic therapy often consists of only adjusting the position of pillars and gaps in the place of agenesis, then the prosthetic reconstruction takes place. The age of the patient together with the plan of implantation are other important factors when planning the final prosthetic reconstruction with or without implants. The authors analyse the process of treatment plan formation on several cases, then possible complications, which can occur during the treatment, together with consequetial modifications. Resolving multiple agenesis is thus based on interdisciplinary co-operation of an orthodontist, prosthodontist and implantologist; in some cases an maxillofacial surgeon can be involved. The authors stress the importance of the therapy coordinator who manages individual phases of the treatment, who bears the responsibility for forming the team, as well as for the treatment results

Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the existing level of knowledge, attitude and practices regarding biomedical and hazardous waste disposal among radiation workers. Material & Method: This knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) study was done in King George Medical University, India. A self-administered questionnaire was designed and distributed among 97 radiation workers, who included radiology technicians and students undergoing training in diploma in Radiology. The survey form composed of 18 questions framed based on knowledge, attitude and those regarding the practice they followed in relation to health-care and hazardous waste management. The percentage response for each question from all the participants was obtained and the data was calculated. Results: The survey was done on 97 individuals and was attended by 86 of radiology diploma trainee and 11 radiology technicians. 56 of respondents underwent training for biomedical waste management out of which 53 could match the color coded bins. 25 of respondents were not aware about the ill effects of harmful chemicals used in the radiology. 3 respondents did not use gloves and worked bare handed on the patients. Only 6 technicians used lead apron for taking radiographs. For oil leakage from the X-ray machine, 78 respondents believed in informing the authorities, 4 were indifferent to it, while 15 wanted to clean the oil leakage from the X-ray machine. 12 subjects were not aware of presence of silver in used fixer solution. 83 respondents believed in diluting and throwing used developer in the drain, while 14 wanted to throw it without dilution. All the respondents believed that environmental pollution could be caused by throwing processing chemicals down the drains. Conclusion: It can be concluded from this survey study that, though many radiation workers have knowledge about the management of waste but are not applying it diligently. It is imperative that waste should be segregated and disposed off in a safe manner to protect the environment as well as human health.

Abstract:

Tooth extraction is a way to remove the tooth from its place in the oral cavity due to the dental caries, severely damaged and can not be restored. Tooth extraction traumatize to the tooth supporting tissue (alveolar bone), which resulted in the emergence socket (hole) on the alveolar bone. Alveolar bone healing process after tooth extraction involves the osteoblasts activity. Osteoblasts are the cells which are responsible for depositing calcium and phosphate into bone matrix (osteoid) and worked for bone mineralization process, so that the socket area can be covered with new bone. One of the factors that may affect bone healing is vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Vitamin C has the ability towards bone formation because it is able to stimulate the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts in a way to stimulates alkaline phosphatase which is a marker of osteoblast formation. In addition, vitamin C can activate prolil hydroxylase enzyme which serves for the formation of collagen. Collagen is the main component of the extracellular matrix of all soft tissue, tendons, ligaments and bone matrix. Vitamin C may also increase the collagen synthesis of type I, and osteocalcin. Then, osteoblasts synthesize osteocalcin which binds to the hydroxyapatite and it found in bone. Vitamin C can maintain a balance between the differentiation of osteoblast and osteoclast which activities directly affect the early stages of bone repair. Vitamin C works by suppressing the osteoclasts activity and stimulate the osteoblasts growth to form new bone and increase bone formation.

Abstract:

Significant symptoms that highlight the shortcomings of our healthcare system include health disparities, poor utilization and escalating costs. These fatal flaws are the result of consumers, payers, providers and policy makers not working effectively together. This lack of synergy among the stakeholders is understandable when one realizes that two key components of the system are unavailable: timely data regarding consumer oral health related behaviors and the provider examination data that corroborate these findings. There is an opportunity to effectively inquire about common consumer and caregiver behaviors and authenticate their responses with their dental health record. This information (data) would benefit the healthcare system in order to improve population health, reduce health disparities, reduce costs and create an effective public health policy and practice standards and bring value to dental practice. Goals: The goal of this presentation is for the attendee to understand: 1. Why does healthcare continue to experience cost problems? 2. What impact does dentistry have in this concern? 3. Can oral health management significantly reduce cost? 4. How would this benefit dental care?

Abstract:

Digital technology is continually changing as it is being incorporated into the educational arena. In order for higher education institutions to continue to be successful, they must be able to market themselves to Generation X by offering online courses. Many faculty members presume they are addressing digital learning by posting a PowerPoint lecture in a learning management system but offering no form of active engagement to the learner. There are many didactic courses offered to first and second year dental students, where online learning could be used to facilitate development of an active learner. The increased use of online courses will promote the expansion of the dental profession, by enabling students in more remote areas to have access to educational programs, which may not have been available to them previously. Learner support is needed for students and faculty to facilitate online learning for dental educational programs. Online educators need to have an understanding and knowledge of the following concepts: empathy, self-directed learners, fluency with technology, instructional design and learner support for the student and the educator. Dental educators will need specialized training to develop retentive and productive programs. This will enable them to achieve a major goal of their profession by increasing Access to Care, increased savings to students and institutions, and contribute to the growth of dental professionals.

Abstract:

Odontogenic infections occur as periapical inflammation, i.e. acute periapical periodontitis or a periapical abscess. Traditionally, before placing dental implants, the compromised teeth are removed and the extraction sockets are left to heal for several months. Early restoration of the masticatory function, phonetics and aesthetics are some of the current goals of immediate implant placement. However, placing implants in infected sites have always been questioned and debated for the longest time. Clinical experience has led most clinicians to avoid the immediate placement of endosseous dental implants at infected sites and to consider infection a contraindication for immediate implantation. A published systematic review emphasized the paucity of available literature discussing this subject. It also stressed the need for studies incorporating designs that eliminate confounding variables, including implant placement immediately compared with placement in intact ridges. Considering only the human case series, the protocol of most studies in literature includes socket debridement, curettage, the use of systemic antibiotics, and postsurgical chlorhexidine rinses varying from 1 to 8 weeks. Many performed GBR procedures. Some studies included peripheral intra socket ostectomy, PRGF coating of implant, combination of bone, xenograft and platelet-rich plasma, antibiotic solution irrigation of the socket, socket irrigation with chlorhexidine 0.12%, and the use of an erbium laser using photo acoustics to reduce the bacteria in osteotomy sites that were infected by apical pathology. These adjunct procedures often alter socket environment, destroy the periosteal cells present along the socket wall that are crucial for bone formation and regeneration. This presentation will rationalize, and describe step by step treatment protocol for immediate implant placement in six maxillary anterior teeth with infected sockets without the use of any adjunct procedures, to achieve good esthetics, form and function.

Abstract:

Caries is the most chronic infectious disease of childhood; despite the fact that it is totally preventable. With the advent of innovations in dentistry, there is an increasing shift from the classic “drill and fill” surgical model of caries management towards the biological approach of understanding the aetiology, prevention and occurrence of caries and managing it accordingly. Consequently, there are many paradigm shifts for dealing with caries in young ones. Successful prevention is based on an individualized/ customized prevention protocol rather than the previous model of “one size fits all” approach of caries management. The multi-factorial nature of caries presents a challenge to all clinicians dealing with children in their early years of life.

Abstract:

Non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC) are congenital defects with complex etiology. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 3’UTR of candidate genes were considered to be associated with NSOC susceptibility by affecting binding ability of miRNA to the target mRNA. Fibroblast growth factors (FGF) and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) serve critical functions in orofacial development. The aim of the present study is to explore associations between SNPs within 3’UTR of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and their receptor (FGFR) genes and risk of NSOC. Finally, 11 SNPs were selected and genotyped in a 602 cases /602 controls study. 3 of them (FGF2/rs1048201, P=0.026; FGF5/rs3733336, P<0.001; FGF9/rs546782, P=0.043) were proved to be associated with NSOC susceptibility. Their respective potentially binding microRNAs were predicted by bioinformatic analysis and confirmed by luciferase activity assay in vitro, which was further confirmed by mRNA and protein expression in vivo. In conclusion, our findings indicated 3 SNPs in 3’UTR of FGF genes were associated with NSOC by a possible mechanism of modifying miRNA-mRNA interaction.

Abstract:

The aim of the work is to describe a successful flask free technique for microwave processing of poly[methyl methacrylate] (PMMA) resins and to evaluate this technique regarding dimensional accuracy, denture adaptation to the master die and porosity by comparing it with the traditional water bath curing method. The result of this study provided a promising method for processing dentures having all the benefits of microwave technique but without the major drawback of the conventional microwave curing, that is, it does not need special flask. It was concluded that artificial dentures processed by flask free microwave curing (FFMC) were as acceptable as dentures processed by the conventional water bath curing (CWBC). It showed also that resin record bases processed by the FFMC were better adapted to master cast than resin record bases processed by the CWBC and microwave energy can be used to cure denture resin without producing porosity up to 6.5 mm thickness.

Abstract:

Hyposalivation, xerostomia and alterations in the saliva composition are important side effects related to the use of psychotropic, including the anxiolytics and antidepressants. The mechanism in which these side effects take place has still not been completely clarified; however, histomorphometric and gravimetric studies have been contributing to a better understanding of the cytotoxic effects of anxiolytics drugs on the salivary glands. This study histologically analyzed the parotid glands of Wistar rats that received two benzodiazepines (BZDs) (Lorazepam and Midazolan), associated or not with Pilocarpine (PILO), in order to quantify the number of nuclei of acinar cells (N). Ninety male Wistar rats were allocated to nine groups. Control groups received a saline for 30 days (C30) or 60 days (C60), and (PILO) for 60 days. Experimental groups received lorazepam (L30) and midazolam (M30) for 30 days, lorazepam (LS60) and midazolam (MS60) associated with saline for 60 days, and lorazepam (LP60) and midazolam (MP60) associated with PILO for 60 days. ANOVA and Games-Howell tests were used for statisitical analysis. The L30 and M30 groups presented less N than did the S30 group (p<0.05). The LS60, MS60, and LP60 groups presented less N than did the S60 and P60 groups (p<0.05). No differences could be observed between the MP60 and S60 groups. The administration of Midazolam and Lorazepam reduced acini, which may well have collaborated in the reduction of salivary flow previously verified. The association of Midazolam with Pilocarpine led to the reestablishment of acinar cells, which may have favored the restoration of the salivary flow rate.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of resiliency of bar and clip attachment on the supporting structures in implant supported overdenture cases. Thirty edentulous patients were treated by two implant supported mandibular overdentures. The patients were randomly allocated to three treatment groups; rigid, semi resilient and resilient bar designs. The dentures were refitted after implant insertion and the implants were finally loaded within two weeks by one of the three studied bar designs. Follow up was carried on three months basis for the first year. During this period; patient satisfaction, implant mobility, bone level changes around them, gingival index as well as peri-implant crevicular fluids were monitored. Further follow up was carried out for five years on biannual basis and included bone level changes and Patient satisfaction. During the whole follow up period; none of the implants failed and there were no significant differences in denture satisfaction scores between patients in the three treatment groups. The bone level changes around the implants in all groups showed significant increases during the first year to reach 0.73± 0.03, 0.79± 0.015 and 0.95± 0.045 for group I, II and III respectively. These levels reached equilibrium after 2 years. The implant mobility, gingival index and peri-implant crevicular fluids showed no statistical differences between the three groups. Under the limitations of the current study it may be concluded that: resilient bar design produce less bone resorption than the other two designs, however the three designs have similar influence on the other studies parameters.

Abstract:

Objectives: Neurofibromatosis type I (NF 1) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting approximately 1 in 3500 individuals. NF1 exhibits multiple manifestations such as the presence of café-au-late spots, learning disabilities and bone deformities. A large proportion of NF 1 patients display skeletal deformities including alteration in bone size and shape, the presence of scoliosis, and tendency to develop pseudoarthrosis. Craniofacial abnormality occurs in about 7% of NF1 patients and characterized by hypoplasia or absence of greater wing of sphenoid bone. This dysplasia is progressive and always unilateral, results in bulging of one eye and mid-facial bone associated with malocclusion, and is termed Sphenoid Wing Dysplasia (SWD). By using an NF1 KO mouse model, we propose to eliminate the possibility of tumor as a cause of facial deformity, by histological examination of numerous specimens and there by establish an osteoblast origin for the phenotype, to characterize the time course of the progression of craniofacial defect and to identify metrics to follow the progression of the phenotype, and to test the effect of treatment with diet, PTH and Ras antagonist on the development and progression of the phenotype. Methods: We have established a breeding colony of neurofibromin (NF1 gene) osteoblast conditional knockout mice. Mice sacrificed for skull Micro-CT scan and for cell harvest ( osteoblast and osteoclast precursors ). The skulls\' images then manipulated and landmarked using Analyze 10.0 software, and the deformity assessed using EDMA morphometric analysis to compare the changes in landmarks position in control and KO mice skulls. Results: Results from 12 mice samples ( 8 KO and 4 control) indicate that the NF1ob-/- mice present with cranial asymmetry with eye bulging and malocclusion as the animal age. Micro-CT of these animals shows a progressive (12- 24 weeks) loss of craniofacial symmetry at the sphenoid bone and other cranial bones. This phenotype is strikingly similar to SWD seen in NF1 patients. Conclusions: Upon completion of the study, we will, hopefuly, be able to identify the original cause of sphenoid wing dysplasia in NF1 and try to block or prevent such deformity, which will help the NF1 patients not to develop malocclusion and facial asymmetry.

Abstract:

Introduction: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of hereditary diseases affecting 1 in 17,000 live births worldwide. It consists skin and mucous membrane blistering in response to minimal trauma. The genes that cause EB are also involved in development and maintenance of a variety of oral tissues. The specific oral manifestations and their severity are defined by the expression of genes that are important in cell adhesion and integrity. Proteins such as Kindlin-1 are important in maintaining mucosal integrity but appear not to affect tooth formation. Diagnosis of EB is based on clinical findings, Immunoflourescence and Electron microscopy. Out of the three major types of EB, Dystrophic EB is caused by the defect in the anchoring fibril protein that is located below the basal lamina at the dermal-epidermal basement membrane zone. Although specific therapies are not yet available for the prevention of blisters in any of the EB types, these diseases can certainly be controlled. Objective: If treatment is instituted at an early age, it can retain a functional dentition through the use of a combination of aesthetic, restorative, and preventive measures. Proper maintenance of oral structures not only reduces the possibility of oral soft tissue trauma but may also provide proper nutritional support and alleviate systemic complications due to nutritional deficiencies. Conclusion: Possible treatment modalities for EB will be discussed in order to educate the dental fraternity regarding clinical manifestations and their individualized treatment options. We present a case of dystrophic EB with oral manifestations and its management.

Abstract:

Background: Reduced vertical bone level in the implantation area is often considered one of the limiting factors before implant insertion. Inserting implants of reduced length might be useful in order to avoid vertical bone augmentation prior to implantation. The use of short implants in compromised sites are considered an alternative procedure to avoid extensive surgical procedures such as sinus lifting and grafting. Methods: 40 short dental implants (4.8 and 6.2 mm diameter with 5 and 7 mm diameter). fixtures were installed on 20 bovine rib blocks. The primary stability of the implant was measured by the resonance frequency using an Osstel ® device. The removal torque values (RTV) of the implants was assessed using a Digital torque gauge instrument. Results: Both 4.8 and 6.2 mm wider implants showed marginal increase in resonance frequency and removal torque values with 5 and 7 mm implants. However when the comparison was done between the two implants with different diameter a significantly higher primary stability was observed with 6.2 mm diameter implants. Conclusion: From the observations of the study it can be concluded that short implants were able to achieve desirable primary stability. The primary stability substantially improved with short implants with wider diameter.

Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of 5-fluorouracil nanoparticles, curcumin naoparticles and combination of both nanoparticles on the expression of the apoptotic marker (caspase 3) in squamous cell carcinoma cell line. Material and methods: Human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cell line (Hep-2) was used in this study. 5-fluorouracil nanopartciles and curcumin nanoparticles were prepared and applied in different concentrations for 24 and 48 hours on the used cell line. The yellow tetrazolium salt (MTT) assay was used for evaluation of cytotoxicity of prepared nanoparticles. Real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for the assessment of caspase-3 expression in the treated cell line. Results: MTT assay revelaed that 5-fluorouracil nanoparticels, curcumin nanoparticels, and combination of both nanoparticles showed a concentration dependant cytotoxicity on Hep-2 cell line. The RT-PCR assessment of caspase-3 expression revealed that there was a concentration dependent increase in caspase-3 expression in Hep-2 cell line treated with different concenrations of 5-fluorouracil nanoparticles, curcumin nanopraticles and combination of both nanoparticles. Conclusion: Curcumin nanoparticles could be more acvtive in inducing apoptosis in short term assays than long term assays due to differential cellular uptake. 5-fluorouracil nanoparticles induced apoptosis could be better detected by RT-PCR rather than by MTT.

Abstract:

According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC), fluoridation of community drinking water for the prevention of dental caries is considered to be one of the ten most important public health achievements of the 20th century (1999). The use of fluoride provides the most effective method for dental caries prevention and control. Fluoride is important for optimum oral health at all ages. It is made available at the tooth surfaces by two general means: systemically, by way of the circulation to developing teeth, and topically, directly to the exposed surfaces of erupted teeth throughout life. Concurrent with the decline in dental caries has been an increase in the prevalence of dental fluorosis, a side-effect of systemic exposure to greater than optimal levels of fluoride during amelogenins (clark 1994; Mascarenhas 2000; Pendrys 2000). Discoloration of teeth is the most common reason why patients seek treatment of fluorosed teeth. The discoloration may be due to white opacity resulting from enamel hypomineralization. Uptake of extrinsic stains into the porous subsurface enamel may give rise to discoloration which may be yellowish, light brown, dark brown or black (Akpata ES 2014). To restore the natural white creamy enamel appearance, the tooth may be bleached or the subsurface porosities abraded together with the entrapped extrinsic stains, by microabrasion or macroabrasion. If the subsurface porosities are so deep-seated that they cannot be easily removed by microabrasion without causing hypersensitivity or resulting in unaesthetic tooth morphology, the enamel surface is veneered with porcelain or resin composite. Where more than 50% of surface enamel has been lost as a result of fluorosis, the remaining enamel may be insufficient for adhesive bonding; in which case, the fluorosed tooth may have to be crowned (Akpata ES 2014).

Abstract:

Background: Mandibular tumors are complex and restoration of these resected regions of the mandible can cause defects which are cosmetically visible and can prove to be a challenge to restore functionally. The current practice of reconstruction with a free fibula graft and restoration of dental structures after 6 months can prove to be a challenge to patients. Also, the success of the reconstructed fibula flap depends on a variety of factors. Objectives: To plan and place a patient–specific implant “PSI” with immediate restoration of form and function and minimizing the need for additional surgical procedures like harvesting of flap. Methods: Using 3D printing technology and 3D designing software, a patient specific implant was designed and fabricated. Also, the surgery was planned using anatomic models and virtual surgery much before performing the actual surgical procedure. Results: As a single procedure, the resection and reconstruction of the mandibular segment was done with immediate replacement of the dentition. This resulted in a well restored form and better esthetics as compared to traditional reconstructive methods like fibula implant. Conclusion: The use of 3D technology to design and fabricate PSI facilitates better esthetics, better surgical outcome and earlier restoration of normal function for the patient. It avoids the needs for a second surgery.

Abstract:

Illustrating different techniques of treating gingival recessions is our goal. Many techniques and materials are recently used to repair the gingival recession which becomes one of the most common dental problems. Several factors are contributing in gingival recession as inadequate brushing and flossing or brushing teeth too hard or on the wrong way. In fact, studies show that 30% of the population may be predisposed to gingival disease, regardless of how well they care for their teeth. Gingival recession is the process in which the gingival margin migrates apically exposing the teeth roots. If left untreated, the supporting tissue and bone structures of the teeth can be severely damaged and may ultimately result in tooth loss. If gingival recession cannot be treated with deep cleaning because of excess loss of bone and pockets that are too deep, surgical intervention may be required to repair the damage caused.

Abstract:

To ensure the long term stability and a successful dental treatment, the dentist should establish a stable dental occlusion. During diagnosis and establishing therapy plan, it is mandatory for the dentist and dental technician to understand the masticatory system as well as masticatory forces that will be applied on the final restorations. It is important to protect the integrity of the masticatory system, so dentists take the responsibility of establishing proper form and function in any restorative treatment. Dental occlusion plays an important role in not only function and patients acceptance of the treatment but also in final aesthetics. This presentation is to highlight the requirements for a stable dental occlusion, and how to reduce the complications after the restorative treatments.

Abstract:

Although various treatment modalities are available, which aim at the correction of a Class III malocclusion during the growth period, these have proved unsuccessful in maintaining the results for a long time. Retention appliances are required to be worn until growth is complete. And relying on the patient to cooperate over long and extent treatment protocols is a potential problem in achieving successful,stable treatment results. Surgical intervention may be still needed in a few cases. The decision for camouflage or surgery must be made before treatment begins, because the orthodontic treatment to prepare for surgery often is just the opposite of orthodontic treatment for camouflage. Diagnosis reflects a greater emphasis on soft tissue considerations in modern treatment, and is essential when camouflage versus surgery is considered. Material and methods: patients with skeletal class III dentofacial deformities were treated surgically. Etiology, diagnosis, orthodontic preparation and surgical techniques will be discussed as well as complications.

Abstract:

Background: Maulana Azad Medical College is the largest tertiary centre in Delhi, India, having 3000 registered hemophiliac patients. The physiopathology of the hemorrhagic blood coagulation disorders is well known. Among these the most frequent ones include the type A-B Hemophilia and the von Willebrand disease. If they are not subjected to an adequate haemostatic prophylaxis, they present a serious hemorrhagic risk after dental procedure. Objectives: Oral surgical procedures in blood coagulation disorders are associated with high risk of bleeding. It requires a multidisciplinary approach and a well defined protocol. Objective of the present study is to review the efficacy of our protocol in order to reduce patient discomfort and to minimize the length of hospital stay. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients from January 2009 to December 2014. We found records of 111 patients who underwent any type of oral surgical procedures. Efficacy of protocol was assessed by looking for the number of post-operative visits, need for extended /re hospitalisation, re transfusion of factors, episodes of post-operative bleeding and mortality of patient. Findings: Among 111 patients, 5 had mandibular fractures, 3 had benign pathology, and 28 had impacted third molars. We recorded 7 instances of postoperative bleeding. In 4 patients, bleeding stopped after compression whereas in 3 patients condition reverted to normalcy after infusion of the deficient clotting factor. Conclusions: Our protocol produced a favourable outcome. We were able to limit the duration of hospital stay to 1 hour in most of the cases, and were successful in improving patient’s comfort postoperatively.

Abstract:

Background: The transmasseteric approaches has been considered a well established approaches for condylar fracture repair. They may be accessed through a preauricular anteroparotid incision, a high cervical incision or a retromandibular incision. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the high cervical transmasseteric approach and the preauricular anteroparotid one as regards the accessibility , the rate of complications and the final outcome. Patients:Twenty four patients had malocclusion due to a unilateral low subcondylar fractures either alone or associated with other fractures were classified into two groups . Group (A) included 12 patients accessed through the high cervical transmasseteric approach .The second group (B) included 12 patients accessed through the preauricular anteroparotid transmasseteric one. Results:The high cervical approach was found to have a better accessibility, a low complication rate especially those related to the facial nerve and a better outcome. Conclusion:When a transmasseteric approach is choosen to repair a fracture condyle,it is better to utilize the high cervical rather than the preauricular anteroparotid one. Keywords: Fracture condyle approaches – Transmasseteric approach – Anteroparotid approach-High cervical approach

Abstract:

Anchorage control in orthodontic treatment is an important factor in determining treatment outcome. Orthodontists have historically used many devices to prevent unwanted tooth movement such as extra-oral and/or intra- or inter-maxillary appliances. However, many of these devices call for patient cooperation, and loss of anchorage is often observed. The use of temporary anchorage system (TAS) as a source of skeletal anchorage has become routine in present-day orthodontic practice.TAS opens up alternative treatments, to borderline surgery patients. Because they are bone-borne and provide excellent control over tooth movement in the three spatial planes of movement, TAS can be used to serve many purposes in addition to anchorage. Therefore, a variety of successful TAS appliances are explained in relation to the three planes of movement: saggital, vertical, and transverse. The aim of this review is to illustrate the clinical versatility of TAS in the three spatial planes of malocclusion in orthodontic and orthopedic management and to define clinical guidelines for the selection, application and biomechanics of TAS.
