He and Dr. Joseph Choukroun have recently edited the first textbook on PRF titled: “Platelet Rich Fibrin in Regenerative Dentistry: From Biological Background to Clinical Indications.

Abstract:

Course Description: The use of platelet concentrates has had a long history of use in various fields of medicine as an autologous source of growth factors fabricated utilizing centrifugation of blood under various conditions. While platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was proposed as a first-generation platelet concentrate over 3 decades ago, over the past 10 years, platelet rich fibrin (PRF) has seen a steady increase in utilization for a variety of medical procedures due to its lack of anti-coagulation factors favoring fibrin clot formation and faster wound healing. More recently, further research has demonstrated that shorter and slower centrifugation spin cycles ('the low-speed concept' now termed advanced-PRF, A-PRF+) additionally favors wound healing by incorporating higher populations of white blood cells and progenitor cells within the PRF fibrin matrix leading to higher growth factor release within the local microenvironment. Parallel to these findings, the development of a liquid injectable PRF (i-PRF) provides a new formulation of liquid PRF without using anti-coagulation factors that may specifically be combined with currently available bone biomaterials favoring particle stability, angiogenesis and tissue integration. This course aims to highlight the recent advancements made with respect to the newest formulations of platelet concentrates and systematically presents when, where and why specific platelet concentrates may be utilized to further speed wound healing and tissue regeneration for various clinical indications faced in routine daily dental practice. Objectives: ??? Provide the biological background and scientific rationale for why platelet concentrates speed wound healing ??? Introduce the low-speed centrifugation concept and the theory behind these advanced PRF formulations ??? Provide clinical indications when, where and why to use A-PRF and i-PRF in regenerative dentistry ??? Provide key areas for future uses of A-PRF and i-PRF for everyday dental practice

Abstract:

In the book ???Seeing What???s Next,??? Clayton Christensen coined the term disruptive innovation and further predicts the future of different industries. Disruptive innovation may be defined as an innovation that disrupts an existing market by taking out a service or product in that market and entering it into a new or another existing market. As a result, this decreases the value of one market while increasing value of another. After examining various case studies, it was determined that Clayton Christensen disruptive innovation model may be applied to predict the future of dentistry. An infographic was created to illustrate this notion. Education differentiates the level of the hierarchy, while the area of each segment represents market size available for that section. With time, it is natural for services to decrease sectors. In the current day, you will find general dental practitioner offices that offer more services outside the general dentist scope. Practitioners have access to continuing education courses allowing them to be trained in areas of specialty, such as Invisalign. There is an increased prevalence of general dental practitioner offices offering services for extractions and implants, rather than referring a patient out. The general dentist can perform the operation if they believe they can perform up to the standard of a specialist. If not, the dentist may hire a specialist to come into the office and carry out the surgery in-house. This scenario will happen for an array of reasons. Research contributes to each disruptive innovation through finding new biological treatments, such as natural adult tooth growth with the contribution of laser stimulation, the addition of fluoride in public water, and the implementation of technology to aid treatment. This is important in dentistry to continuously enhance the care that a health care provider can give to patients.

Abstract:

Regenerative dentistry has a need to develop better bone grafting materials. Bone augmentations and guided bone regeneration (GBR) offers the clinician a chance to solve the problem of space deficiency due to morphologic and pathologic problems of insufficient bone volume or space. Bone grafting materials are commonly categorized to 4 major categories: autogenous bone, alloplastic bone, allograft bone, xenograft bone. There has been made many studies on how each type of bone graft is effective in the GBR procedure and autologous bone graft is considered by many to be the "golden standard" due to its ability for osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction. Its advantage is the rapid healing time without immune rejection. How ever the shortcomings of an autologous bone is that the harvest amount is limited, resorption after graft is unavoidable and that there is another surgical site for the patient other that the area of the defect. We are studying the usage of autologous bone as grafting material for alveolar socket preservation after the third molar extraction. In control group after 3 months (n=11) the depht of periodontal socket was 4,63 +- 0,48mm whereas in sudy group (n=13) 1,43 +-0,35mm. Patients also confirmed that food stuck less to the site which was grafted. So this video presentation will focus on human dentin which can be used as an autologous bone grafting material.

He is currently a senior Post graduate pursuing Masters in Dental Surgery in Periodontology and Implantology. He has presented papers and posters at National and State level conferences.

Abstract:

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the supporting structures of teeth, resulting in tooth loss. Mainly initiated by plaque�????biofilm and characterized by bacteria induced inflammation which leads to the destruction of tooth supporting structures and alveolar bone. Periodontitis is one of the major causes of tooth loss in adults. Periodontal diagnostic procedures provide useful information to the clinician regarding the present periodontal disease type, location, and severity. These findings serve as a basis for treatment planning and provide essential data during periodontal maintenance and disease-monitoring phases of treatment. Traditional periodontal diagnostic parameters used clinically include probing depths, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment levels, plaque index, and radiographs assessing alveolar bone level. Non-surgical periodontal procedures like scaling and root planning followed by periodontal surgical procedures are carried out to restore the periodontal health and function. A major objective of periodontal therapy is to remove the soft and hard, supra and sub gingival deposits from the root surface to stop disease progression. The surgical procedure involving treatment of periodontal pockets mainly aims at reattachment and readaptation of the pocket walls rather than the surgical eradication of the outer walls of the pockets. Recent advancements like lasers, microsurgery and other treatment aids have set a milestone in the field of periodontics. Hence, the aim of this study is to evaluate the benefit of a diode laser to conventional flap technique in the surgical treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Abstract:

There exists tremendous opportunity for instructional application of the specialty field of dental removable prosthodontics. There is currently no technical institutional instruction for dentures and partial dentures in the State of Michigan. I believe the technical school setting is an ideal situation to expose candidates to the field of dental technology. While fixed prosthodontics such as crowns and bridges are being produced more and more by cad cam milling, dentures and partial dentures are still being made primarily by hand in most laboratories and intimate clinical settings. The very best appliances are custom arranged for the patient???s age, gender and personality and colored to match the patient???s oral tissues. The artistic ability and technical knowledge to enter the field can be discovered and taught at the introductory level and continued in laboratory practicum to bring motivated candidates to a level that will allow them to enter the field at dental laboratories and dental offices. Over the last 20 years, formal accredited dental laboratory technology programs have been reduced to 15 compared to 53 in 1976. Additionally, the aging of the talent pool is leading to a severe shortage of qualified technicians. It is my firm belief that I can develop and lead a successful program to bring young people into a very rewarding and challenging field whereby they will develop the skills to comfortably raise a family and possibly even grow their own laboratory in the future. The National Association of Dental Laboratories has foundation grants to assist DLT program development and the State of Michigan may have programs that will also assist us in startup. The American Denturist School offers all levels of instruction for removable prosthetics and is certified and accredited to instruct online distance learning. I am looking forward to assisting you and your technical institution in developing the Removable Dental Technology Program.

Alshadidi has completed his BDS at the age of 25 years from King Khalid University and postgrad studies Saudi Board in Prosthdontic Dentistry in Saudi Commession for Health specialties. He has published more than 2 papers in reputed journals.

Abstract:

Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the influence of indirect chair-side polymerization of resin composite cores on the fracture resistance of overlaying IPS e.max press crowns. Materials and Methods: Root canals of 60 extracted premolars were prepared to receive #2 fiber posts after the crowns were sectioned 2 mm above the cervical line. In groups 1???3 (n = 10 each), posts were luted to the prepared dowel spaces using selfadhesive resin cement. Resin composite cores were then bonded and incrementally built-up using Filtek Z250 XT, Filtek P60, and Filtek P90 resin composites. In groups 4???6 (n = 10 each), the fabricated post-core systems were subjected to post-curing heat and pressure treatment before cementation to their respective teeth using self-adhesive resin cement. Another 10 sound premolars served as control. All teeth in the test and control groups were then subjected to standardized preparation to receive IPS e.max press crowns before testing their fracture resistance and the mode of restorations' failure. The collected results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, Kruskal???Wallis, and Tukey's tests on the past software used at ?=0.05 to stand on the significance of the detected differences. Results: Significant differences were detected between the fracture resistance of teeth in different groups (ANOVA, P = 2.857E- 35). Crowns in groups 4???6 provided higher fracture resistance than those in groups 1???3 (Tukey's test, P < 0.05). Crowns in groups 4 and 6 provided higher fracture resistance than the control, while those in groups 2 and 3 provided lower fracture resistance than the control (Tukey's test, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Indirect composite cores improved the fracture resistance of IPS e.max press crowns when compared to directly fabricated post and cores. The directly and indirectly polymerized nanohybrid, methacrylate-based composite (Filtek Z250 XT) cores yielded the highest fracture resistance for the utilized all-ceramic crowns.

Abstract:

The major goal of all restorative procedures is to: magfintain the viability of the dental pulp whenever possible, over the last few decades minimally invasive endodontic techniques has been introduced and have received wider acceptance over conventional treatments. These techniques could serve as viable, less invasive, potential treatment options for the management of teeth with inflamed pulps compared to the conventional approach ofa root canal treatment, prevent unnecessary dental extractions. Minimally invasive techniques are based on the ability of the remaining radicular pulp to recover following the removal of the infected coronal pulp tissue and placement of a suitable medicament. Dental pulp stem cells were isolated from irreversibly inflamed pulp tissue, maintaining the potential of cell proliferation and differentiation. Serve as a source of endogenous multipotent cells needed for the regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex. This has changed the general understanding of a clinical diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis and its anagement, particularly in the era of improved understanding of the healing process and regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex, cases traditionally deemed irreversible may in fact still be savable, thereby shifting the balance of what was irreversible towards reversible, when the correct treatment is applied. Despite these great improvements, mild to moderate cytotoxic effects of various biomaterials when they are placed in direct contact with the pulp tissue, also these techniques itself never leads to the regeneration of pulp or dentin that was lost in the coronal portion. So a novel strategy for the local regeneration of dentin-pulp complex in the pulp chamber is introduced as ???Regenerative Pulpotomy??? based on the induction of the outgrowth of pulp cells, capillaries, and neurons from the residual root pulp using a biodegradable autologous scaffold.

Abstract:

Aims: Crowns have been considered the restoration of choice for endodontically treated teeth. This study tested, which restorations are associated with improved survivability of endodontically treated teeth. Materials & Methods: King Khalid University College of Dentistry (KKUCD) treatment database was used to identify permanent posterior teeth that had undergone endodontic treatments in the year 2008. 375 patients were treated by students and specialist in KKUCD, 101 patients (121 teeth) were included under the criteria of age and tooth type. Patients were recalled and examined their type, quality of restorations and endodontic lesions healing status. Results: The 121 teeth, 65 treated by specialist and 56 by students. 46 were crowned, 39 amalgam restored, 25 composite restored, 6 glass ionomer restored and 5 extracted. Successful cases which had good quality restorations and successful endodontic healing, 30 cases of the crowned teeth, 19 cases of the amalgam, 9 cases of the composite and 1 case of the glass ionomer. Survival cases which had acceptable to good quality restorations and uncertain to successful endodontic healing, 45 cases of the crowned teeth, 37 cases of the amalgam, 23 cases of the composite and 2 cases of the glass ionomer. The 5 extracted teeth were not crowned and there was no significant difference between the treatment done by specialist or students on the endodontic lesion healing but there was significant difference on the coronal restorations quality. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, a strong association between the presence, type, quality of the restorations and the endodontic success and survivability. Crowns placement improved the success (65%) and survivability (98%) of endodontically treated teeth.

Abstract:

Intensive training may cause oxidative stress associated with the onset and progression of chronic inflammatory diseases. As the bodybuilding and protein powder supplements have become popular, the aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the oxidative stress in non-competitive bodybuilders using protein powders and non-exercising males in saliva, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum. Non-competitive male bodybuilders with gingivitis (BB-G)(n=25) and non-exercising males with (G) (n=25) and without (H) (n=25) gingivitis were included in the study. Serum, saliva and GCF were collected from the participants after 24 hours off acute exercise for total antioxidative status (TAS) and total oxidative status (TOS) analysis using a novel colorimetric method. Oxidative Stress Index (OSI) levels were calculated according to TAS and TOS levels. No differences were found for age, smoking, alcohol consumption and body mass index (BMI) in groups. Serum OSI levels were higher in group BB-G than both groups G and H (p<0.01). No differences were found for the saliva OSI between groups (p>0.05). GCF OSI levels were higher both in groups BB-G (p<0.05) and G (p<0.01) than in group H. No correlation was found between saliva and serum TOS, TAS, and OSI levels in group BB-G. Bodybuilding training may disturb the balance between the oxidants and antioxidants in serum, and supplements having antioxidant effects may be inadequate for prevention. No harmful effect in GCF and saliva for oxidative stress was detected in bodybuilders. Saliva may not be an alternative to serum for oxidative stress screening in bodybuilders using protein powder supplements.

Abstract:

Objectives: The intent of this study was to evaluate and compare the preferences and treatment choices between dentists and dental interns with regard to the following different treatment modalities: root canal treatment (RCT) with restoration versus extraction then implant-supported crown (ISC) or surgical treatment in relation to the given case scenarios. Methods: The questionnaire was presented as an online survey with a case scenario. The four clinical case scenarios included an anterior and posterior tooth having apical periodontitis, with and without previous RCT. The treatment options were as follows: RCT with restoration, extraction then implant, and surgical treatment. Results: A total of 165 dentists and dental interns were included in this study. A 103 (62.4%) subjects were dentists, 60 (36.3%) were males and 105 (63.7%) were females. Most of the respondents graduated from the College of Dentistry, Jazan University 155 (93.9%). The highest percentages and numbers for anterior teeth (AT) were selected the RCT and restorations in the four scenarios among gender, dentist, and interns, with no considerable differences. A high percentage of RCT and restoration option was recorded for posterior teeth (PT) with no previous restoration and around 50% for the same treatment modality to posterior teeth with previous restorations. Conclusions: All dentists and interns preferred RCT with restorations over extraction then ISC in the AT with and without previous RCTs. In the PT with no previous RCT, the participants agreed that RCT with restorations is superior to other choices. Among the future selected specialties, the dentists and dental interns demonstrated an absolute agreement to RCT and restorations as a treatment of choice comparing with the different scenarios.
