Rosa is orthodontics professor at Association Educartiva of Brazil since 30 and has completed his PhD in Federal University of Sao Paulo- UNIFESP Brasil of Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology. Her research is oral breathing and respiratory sleep disorders.

Abstract:

The influence of the breathing mode on the morphology of the dentoskeletal complex has not yet been fully demonstrated. The aim of This an observational retrospective case-control study was to investigate the variables associated with craniofacial developmental features in oral (OB) and nasal breathing (NB) of 1596 patients. Nasal breathing individuals formed the control group and oral breathing study group. Radiographic, clinical data and models were analyzed. Patients were divided into three age groups: 5-12; 13-18; and 19-57 years old. Qualitative data were performed with the chi-square test to identify the associations between the variables examined. Odds ratio tests were performed on the variables, when the results of the x2 tests indicated an association with the "breathing mode" variable with a reliability of 95% and a significance of p < 0.05. The results showed that Class II malocclusion was associated with OB in all age groups. Small jaw and increased lower anterior facial height (LAFH) were associated with OB in patients 5 to 18-years of age, and retruded mandible was associated with OB only in younger patients, the 5-12 year old age group.The conclusion was that dental and skeletal factors, such as Class II malocclusion, small and retruded mandible and increased LAFH supports an association with oral breathing.

Abstract:

There are many Dental guidelines and recommendation for prevention of dental caries is providing many methods and their effectiveness in reducing the disease. Application of fluoride is widely researched, and the overall conclusion was that Fluoride is a natural mineral that have a potential of reducing dental caries. All evidence suggested if applied carefully and periodically to the tooth in the appropriate concentration taking into account patient age and weight believed to be safe and effective way in prevention of dental caries in both primary and permanent dentition. In this article will be reviewing the following subject.1) the history and the use of fluoride and how it alters the tooth structure and their effect on both primary and secondary dentition. 2) The different forms of fluoride available and how each contributes in reducing dental caries. 3) The controversy about the safety of using fluoride topically and systematically including fluorosis. 4) The forms of topical fluoride (varnishes, gels) can be used in dental practice and their availability in the markets further more how these can be delivered safely to the patient by the general dentist. General dentist should double their effort in order to change their current practice from delivering dental treatments only to focusing more on prevention of the diseases in the first place. So many ways and methods discussed in the literatures are proven their effectiveness and abilities reducing dental caries. Fluoride application is one way that general practitioners can easily deliver competently.

Abstract:

Introduction. Dental caries is the most common problem in many nations in the world, especially in Indonesia. Elimination of bacteria as one of caries causal can be done in many ways, one of them is using gambir plant extract. Gambir has chemical compounds like catechin and tannin, which have anticariogenic effect. The aim of this study was to determine anticariogenic effect of gambir extract on enamel tooth surface exposed by Streptococcus mutans. Methods. An experimental study, in vitro, had been conducted in Integrated Laboratory Pasca Sarjana Unsri, Province’s Health Laboratory of South Sumatera, dan Metalurgy’s Laboratory of Engineering Faculty of University of Indonesia, and held on March to April 2015. There were 35 first and second upper premolar samples and divided into 5 groups; each groups using 40%, 50%, 60% gambir extract, negative control or placebo, and positive control (using cefadroxyl 500mg). Data were analyzed by using SPSS 22 vers. Results. The results showed that 60% gambir extract had equal effect of reducing the decline of micropores in enamel topography to cefadroxyl 500 mg, 50% gambir extract had equal effect in reducing the decline of calcium’s weight to cefadroxyl 500 mg and had dose-dependent effect, 40% gambir extract had equal effect in lowering colonies of Streptococcus mutans to cefadroxyl 500 mg, and had dose-dependent effect. Conclusion. It can be concluded that 60% gambir extract has equal anticariogenic effect to cefadroxyl 500 mg.

Abstract:

Effects of thermal cycles and immersion in different beverages on color, translucency and hardness of different composite resins: The aim of this study is to evaluate the color stability, translucency and hardness of eight different composite resins, after thermal cycling and immersion in beverages. Six light-cured dimethacrylate-based composite (Clearfil Majestry Esthetic, Clearfil Majestry Posterior, Grandio, Grandio Flow, Arabesk Top, Valux Plus), ormocer (Admira) and silorane-based composite (Filtek Silorane) were tested in this study. Fifteen specimens (8x2 mm) of each composite were prepared. All samples were subjected to thermal cycling [(5.0 ± 0.5)~(55.0 ± 1.0) °C, 1000 cycles]. After thermal cycling, fifteen specimens in each group were divided into three subgroups (n = 5): distilled water (control), coffee, and red wine at 37°C for 30 days. With a spectrophotometer, the △E and Translucency Parameter (TP) were calculated against white and black backgrounds. Color, translucency and hardness of all samples were remeasured baseline, after thermal cycles and after immersion in beverages. The data were analyzed using repeated measured analysis of variance and Bonferroni multiple-comparison test (P<0.05). Red wine and coffee caused perceptible discolorations in all composite resin materials (△E>3.3). The effect of thermal cycles on color and transluceny was no statistically significant (P>0.05). TP values generally decreased especially after immersion in red wine (P<0.05). Hardness values were varied among composite resins but generally decreased after thermal cycles and immersion especially in red wine. Thermal cycling and immersion in beverages caused to decrease in hardness values for composite materials. Because of negative effects on color and translucency, it should be noted especially red wine consumption.

Abstract:

Aim and objective of the Study • To measure the efficacy of articaine and mepivacine buccal infiltrations supplemental to mepivacine IANB on mandibular first molar pulp anaesthesia. • To determine the time of onset and duration of pulpal anaesthesia for each treatment. • To assess patient reported feelings of numbness in teeth and soft tissues after each local anaesthetic injection Materials & Methods • The volunteers received LA regimens randomly over two visits, at least one week apart following reading the information sheet and signing the formal consent • The efficacy of pulp anaesthesia was determined by electronic pulp testing • The efficacy of pulp anaesthesia was evaluated for mandibular first molar after both treatments before injection (baseline) and at intervals of 2 minutes for the first ten minutes and then at intervals of five minutes until 45 minutes after the injection. A control unanaesthetised tooth on the other side of the lower jaw was tested at base line, once again at 10 minutes and at the end of the trial (45 minutes). • The discomfort of the injections was recorded by the volunteers after each treatment on standard 100mm visual analogue scales (VAS), with “no pain” (0 mm) and “unbearable pain” (100 mm). • After all injections, the volunteers were asked to subjectively gauge soft tissue anaesthesia of the lower lip, tongue, and teeth as soon as numbness is felt following either treatment. Results • All (23 volunteers) secured anesthetic success for first molar tooth following pulp testing after articaine and mepivacaine regimens within 10 min and continuously sustained for 45 min postinjection (P = 1). • Differences between articaine regimen and mepivacaine regimen are statistically significant in regard to the number of episodes when there are no sensation on first molar pulp testing on 64 reading (maximum stimulation) at 2 min (P = 0.008) and 4 min (P = 0.019) but not at 6 min (P = 0.15) or 8 min (P = 0.32).

Abstract:

Bone regeneration is a complex, well-orchestrated physiological process of bone formation, which can be seen during normal fracture healing, and is involved in continuous remodelling throughout adult life. However, there are complex clinical conditions in which bone regeneration is required in small or large quantity, such as for loss of cortical bone at the time of implant placement, loss of bone due to peri implantitis, skeletal reconstruction of large bone defects created by trauma, infection, tumour resection and skeletal abnormalities, or cases in which the regenerative process is compromised, including avascular necrosis, atrophic non-unions and osteoporosis. Currently, there is a plethora of different strategies to augment the impaired or 'insufficient' bone-regeneration process, including the 'gold standard' autologous bone graft, free fibula vascularised graft, allograft implantation, and use of growth factors, osteoconductive scaffolds, osteoprogenitor cells and distraction osteogenesis. Improved 'local' strategies in terms of tissue engineering and gene therapy, or even 'systemic' enhancement of bone repair, are under intense investigation, in an effort to overcome the limitations of the current methods, to produce bone-graft substitutes with biomechanical properties that are as identical to normal bone as possible, to accelerate the overall regeneration process, or even to address systemic conditions, such as skeletal disorders and osteoporosis. Over the past year we have seen new products approved and released to the market. And the pipeline of therapies on the horizon continues to expand. This paper demonstrates the various approaches, material, implants produced by various commercial companies to reconstruct soft and hard tissue defects and its application in implant dentistry and oral surgery.

Abstract:

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is defined as a chronic disease of oral mucosa characterized by inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the lamina propria and deeper connective tissue layers. The pathogenesis of the disease is not well established, but is believed to be multifactorial. The treatment for patients afflicted with oral submucous fibrosis is focused on relieving the symptoms and improving the mouth opening by therapeutic and/or surgical means. Medical management which forms the first line of treatment includes topical, intralesional and systemic usage of agents like placental extracts, steroids, vitamins and hyaluronidase. However the role of these medications in advanced cases of oral submucous fibrosis with established restricted mouth opening is limited. Submucous fibrosis with a severe degree of trismus is a great surgical challenge. The surgical procedures include excision of fibrous bands with or without coverage of the surgically created defect. Materials commonly used for coverage of defect include skin or placental grafts, tongue flaps, palatal flaps, radial forearm free vacularized, buccal fat pad grafts, nasolabial flaps and many more. This presentation will focus on the intricacies of surgical procedure with emphasis on two locally available tissue replacements that is Buccal pad of Fat and Nasolabial flap.

Abstract:

Objective: To study the effectiveness and safety of acellular der-mal matrix (ADM) graft in preventing Frey syndrome after parotid neoplasm surgery, we reviewed foreign reported clinical random-ized controlled trials systematically. Based on this review, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of ADM graft and provide reliable evi-dence for clinical application. Methods: We reviewed foreign-language databases, such as MEDLINE, applied meta-analysis with Rev.Man 5, and drew forest plots with odds ratio as effect size. Results: Three trials were recruited. The morbidity of Frey syndrome in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control on both subjective index and objective index, with odds ratios at 0.03 (95% confidence interval, 0.01Y0.11) and 0.03 (95% confidence interval, 0.01Y0.12), respectively. There was no significant difference between ADM group and blank control in total adverse reactions and complication incidence, whereas results differed for a kind of specific adverse reaction or complication. Conclusions: Based on existing research data, implanting ADM could effectively prevent Frey syndrome, and its poor prognosis effects did not significantly increase, which suggested that its total safety was reliable. Nevertheless, further investigations about the difference on a specific adverse reaction or complication were still needed. Key Words: Parotid neoplasm, acellular dermal matrix, Frey syndrome, systematical assessment.

Abstract:

There have been many advances in the management of head and neck infections over the past decade. New classes of antimicrobial agents, noninvasive imaging techniques, improved culturing methods are just some of the changes that have occurred which have enhanced dramatically our ability to diagnose and treat these infections with speed and accuracy. Concerns among the lay population regarding the perceived shifting of infectious disease patterns and their subsequent manifestations have become a topic of discussion in the news media. For example Time magazine has suggested that antibiotics are so overused that the human body has become saturated and that the human immune system is so depressed that it provides an environment for the creation of ‘‘bacterial monsters’’ The impressive ability of bacteria and viruses to adapt, change, and mutate in response to our pharmacologic bombardment is a testimony to the complex and unpredictable nature of these microbes. For every new drug we formulate, resistance develops to an older and often used one. For every organism that we eradicate, another one suddenly emerges to take its place. To those of us in the clinical trenches, it seems that we are in a war with an ever-expanding number of increasingly virulent and destructive microbes. Objective: It is my hope that by summarizing the information provided by various outstanding contributors to this serious issue of antibiotic resistance and genetic mutation of these deadly bugs will help to resolve some of the important issues we currently face.

Abstract:

The purpose of this presentation is to evaluate the significance and influence of tissue preparations as well as bonding and cementation on the longevity of crown treatments as a fixed prosthesis for clinical practitioners. The reflection of teeth features on prepared hard tissue increases dramatically the stability factors such as the retention and resistance. Furthermore, the mathematical models illustrate the changes of the chemical bond’s strength according to the prepared surfaces. The amount of used cement for fixing an artificial crown and how long it was compressed are other important factors that lead to achieving a successful crown treatment. In this presentation for the first time, it is demonstrated that the correct usage (quantity, pressure and time) of cements in an appropriate prepared core dominates the determination of the effect of agents on the retention.

Abstract:

Introduction : Gone is the era of removable partial dentures for edentulous ridges, currently the focus is on implant supported superstructures for oral rehabilitation. Implants have shifted from being a complex and expensive option to simple and feasible choice. However implants are not entirely devoid of complications.Some percentage of implants may not sustain over prolonged periods of time due to several factors. Peri-implantitis is one such factor leading to late failure of implants . Clinical Significance : Periodontitis being a multifactorial disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss all over the globe.After loss of teeth either partially or completely, the question arises about whether the implants which replace the missing teeth also will face the same fate and have peri-implantitis.Thus it is clinically relevant to examine the relationship between periodontitis and peri-implantitis. Summary and Conclusion: Evidence in the form of studies is conflicting, making it difficult to arrive at a definitive conclusion.There are insufficient long term studies with proper controls.Some evidence points to a history of severe chronic generalized periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis having a role in future peri-implantitis. Contrarily few studies show a successful survival of implants in subjects who have lost teeth due to periodontitis previously provided they are on a regular maintenance regimen. Key words : Bone loss ; Denture ; Implants ; Periodontitis ; Peri-implantitis ;Tooth loss.

Abstract:

Present day advances in medical sciences and technology has resulted in substantial increase in the volume of dental patients with systemic illnesses. The term Medically Compromised refers to dental patients with impaired health status like pregnancy, or patients with systemic diseases like ischemic heart disease, congenital heart disease, liver disease, renal disease, asthma, patients with immunodeficiency and patients with altered immune status. Absence or inadequacy of precautions needed to be taken while carrying out routine dental treatment in these patients may result in worsening their medical status or even result in a fatality. Care needs to be taken while prescribing medications for these patients in the form of altered dosage or altering the medications themselves. Medico-legal litigations are reportedly on the rise in all the countries across the globe due to increased patient activism and awareness of their rights and sensationalization of such cases by the media. Worsening of the patient’s medical status or fatality occurring as a result of inadequacy of precautions can prove to be nightmarish to the dentist’s practice, life and reputation. Many of these medical conditions can be identified by detailed case history recording and thorough clinical examination. There may be alterations in the oral cavity as a result of some of these systemic diseases or due to medications/treatment received for these diseases which may present as taste alterations, salivary alterations, oral ulcerations, petechiae, ecchymosis, pigmentations, candidiasis, necrosis and gingival overgrowth. This presentation will be highlighting the maxillofacial & general clinical features useful for suspecting presence of the underlying systemic conditions and precautions needed to be taken during the dental treatment of these patients.

Abstract:

Autologous bone, for it’s osteoconductive, osteoinductive and osteogenetic properties, has been considered to be the gold standard for maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. Autograft procedures brings also some disadvantages: sometimes the limited amount of available intraoral bone makes necessary to obtain bone from an extraoral site, and this carries an associated morbidity.
To overcome this problem we started using homologous freeze-dried bone in maxillary sinus augmentation procedures.
This bone is industrially processed with γ-irradiation to eliminate it’s disease transmission potential and it’s considered safe, but this treatment also eliminates the osteoinductive and osteogenetic properties, making it just an inert scaffold for regeneration.
Mesenchymal stem cells are successfully used in and orthopedic surgery for their amplification potential of healing mechanisms.
We assumed that mesenchymal stem cells can restore the osteogenetic and osteoinductive properties in homologous bone grafts.
The aim of this study was an histological evaluation of bone regeneration in maxillary sinus elevation using: 1) mesenchymal stem cells engineered freeze-dried bone allografts
2) freeze-dried bone allografts Twenty patients (20M, 20F) with a mean age of 55.2 years affected by severe maxillary atrophy were treated with bilateral maxillary sinus floor elevation. For each patient were randomly assigned a “test” side and a “control" side, different from each other exclusively in the composition of the graft material. The "control" sides were composed by corticocancellous freeze-dried bone chips and the “test” sides were composed by corticocancellous freeze-dried bone chips engineered in a bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells concentrate. After three months bone biopsies were performed on the grafts and histological specimens were made in order to evaluate the healed bone from a histological point of view. Histologically all the specimens showed active remodelling signs and all the tissues were free of inflammatory cells.

“Control” side specimens showed a substantial persistence of the grafted bone and, with the interposition of connective tissue, a considerable amount of newly formed bone.
“Test” side specimens showed a much more represented cellular component compared to the “control” sides. The grafted bone trabeculae, when detectable, were completely imprisoned inside new formed bone, in direct contact with it and without interposition of connective tissue. Freeze-dried bone can be used successfully as graft material in the treatment of maxillary atrophy. The same bone engineered with stem cells showed a greater histological integration potential comparable with autografts histological morphology. Further studies are needed to confirm these hypotheses.

Abstract:

At the outset let is recognize that everyone has their own idea of health and they work around it for their well-being! Well, for many, Health is the absence of Disease. WHO in 1948 defined heath as a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely an absence of disease. We all know that a healthy mind in a healthy body is strongly correlated and to take it further, that significantly affects our response and behaviour both at work and home. In order to deliver well, one has to be at the best of their health. Productivity is directly tied to our health. My presentation focuses on oral health for women which are directly proportional to their overall health as the only source of carrying nutrition to our body IS the mouth!

Abstract:

The efficiency of early orthodontic treatment has been a controversial issue among researchers and practitioners for the last century. Supporters considered that early treatment helps to create an environment in which a more favorable dentofacial development can occur. Opponents claimed that most early (preadolescent phase I) orthodontic treatment has to be followed by a second stage of treatment (comprehensive fixed, phase II) during adolescence when the permanent teeth are available for final positioning. This presentation aims to focus on the appropriate timing of early treatment for selected preadolescent patients and which techniques or appliances are applicable to achieve satisfactory treatment outcome.

Abstract:

Oral health is an important factor determining the quality of life in aged individuals. The increased number of aged individuals implies an important demographic change worldwide. The quality of life for older adults can be affected by the many complex diseases/conditions which are associated with aging. These can be more deleterious when accompanied with smoking and tobacco chewing. Smoking is a known cause of cardiovascular diseases. It also causes cancer of the oral cavity and tongue, leukoplakia, and other premalignant lesions and conditions, gingival and periodontal diseases, caries, staining of teeth and dentures. This paper aims to guide dental physicians in identifying oral lesions that occur due to the use of tobacco, followed by a differential diagnosis, and then arrange for tests and referrals as per the need.

Abstract:

The change of treatment paradigm for elderly patients Since dental implant has been applied as an artificial root for a replacement of tooth in edentulous site, treatment planning for prostheses has been significantly changed. When there was no alternative but to employ removable denture on the distal extension of partial edentulism in the past, dental implants have been a revolutionary tooth-replacement option for those patients. If dental implants are placed on the partial edentulous site, they will alter the conventional treatment method (A, B) for removable partial denture and eventually evolve into a new treatment paradigm(C, D) that natural teeth and implants co-exist in the same oral cavity. A. Fixed partial denture; crown & bridge B. Removable partial denture C. Implant supported fixed partial denture D. Implant assisted removable partial denture What is a universal design? The term “Universal design” refers to the design that can be used for all. Barrier-free designed device, facility, and equipment can be readily used by non-disabled people as well as by disabled people. Universal design in device, facility, and equipment can be accessed by everyone without difficulty regardless of disability. 7 principles of universal design 1. Equitable use 2. Flexibility in use 3. Simple and intuitive 4. Perceptible information 5. Tolerance for error 6. Low physical effort 7. Size and space for approach and use Smart Loading Protocols The scientific evidence for ‘immediate loading’ in implant dentistry except on partially edentulous maxilla is sufficient. But, in some of clinical reports, immediate loading even in posterior maxilla sometimes show good results under limited conditions as follows, 1) Utilize micro-rough surface treated implants, 2) Maintain around 30~55Ncm of insertion torque on implant surgery, 3) Confirm the implant bed of at least 5mm remaining bone thickness vertically, when cortical bone fixation technique (bicortical fixation) with sinus floor elevation is applied, In only those cases that primary stability effect is expected, which depends on pure physical force and no micro-movement what so ever, during 1 week post-insertion and etc. immediate loading by connecting immediate functional restorations is possible.

Dr Maria A. Landin is a toxicologist, specialized in toxicogenomics, working with Prof Harald Osmundsen at the institute for Oral Biology. During her PhD, she investigated and mapped the global gene expression in murine tooth buds using molecular biological methods. This lead to creation of a microarray database (68 microarrays) entailing 16 time points of murine tooth development from the embryonic day 11th up to 7 days post-partum (E11.5- P7). During her Dr’s degree she aquired knowledge and skills in molecular biological techniques such as microarrays, real-time RT-PCR, isolation of proteins or RNA / DNA from tissues or cells. She also masters various immunological techniques and have extensive experience in animal experiments and microdissection. She established In Situ hibridisering (Ribo-and oligoprober) at the institute and participated in several projects looking at the effects of brominated and / or perfluorinated flame retardants in wild type and knockout mice. She also colaborated with the biofilm groupe at the institute, where microarrays with up to 30K oligo were used to assess the toxicity of furanone in vivo.Currently Dr.Landin researches on the rolle microRNAs (miRNAs) in the regulation of the murine transcriptome using loss of function studies.

Abstract:

Tooth Development in murine models occurs in a short time-span providing a window of genetics events and is a good model for organ development. Understanding the genetic processes that govern tooth development by mapping the global murine mRNA transcriptome and their regulators miRNAs may provide new bio-therepeutic tools in dentistry. Previous research focus has been on identifying one or more target proteins that can be used as a diagnostic tool and to find the most successful treatment. The understanding of the genetic events during murine tooth development may provide bio-tools for dentists and influence positively the clinical outcome in persistent infectious cases like periodontitis or perio-implantitis. For many patients with persistent infectious conditions with loss of bone and eventually loss of teeth may benefit of new treatment approaches. Extrapolation of genetic studies may contribute to increase knowledge on the numerous biological events in regeneration and healing processes of oral soft and hard tissues may generate new treatment strategies and give predictable results in restoration treatment after oral infections resistant to clinical treatment.

Abstract:

Using additional equipment allows you to get information about the patients’ problems to plan the subsequent functional treatment. One of the important components that need to consider in the prosthodontic treatment planning is the individual trajectory of lower jaw movement. To register lower jaw articulation we use a new optical axiograph Dentograf, allowing obtaining the necessary data for programming mechanical and virtual articulator. This device may use in patients with any pathology of occlusion. The use of mechanical articulator allows producing prosthodontic constructions according to the individual protrusion and laterotrusion movements. In our study, we tried to reproduce additional, previously not used movements using plaster models of jaws: chewing, mouth opening. As a result, we have significantly upgraded the classical structure of the mechanical articulator. Our researches and using of additional devices formed the basis for articulation concept FIRA, which consists in the study and analysis of individual trajectories of lower jaw movement and implementing the data in the subsequent treatment. To minimize errors in the planning of functional treatment we have tried to eliminate unnecessary digital recounts of joint trajectories for obtaining numerical values of angles for programming the mechanical articulator.

Abstract:

Imaging in dentistry has always been an important aspect in assessing the dental diseases in conjunction with clinical assessment. CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) ideal in capturing images of hard tissues especially in the maxillofacial region has revolutionized the imaging modality in dentistry from conventional 2D IOPAs to 3D scans and is of great use in all the fields of dentistry. It has also expanded its role of imaging, from only diagnosis to guiding various operative and surgical procedures. In ENDODONTICS 1. Identify anatomic and pathologic alterations 2. Iatrogenic root perforation 3. Internal &external resorption 4. Accessory canal identification 5. Vertical root fractures 6. Surgical management of fractured instrument DENTAL TRAUMA CBCT identify dental root fractures, and the displacement, luxation injuries & avulsion DENTAL IMPLANT CBCT provides information concerning all structures (the mandibular and alveolar bone morphology, the maxillary sinuses, incisive canal, mandibular canal, and mental foramina) CYSTS/TUMORS/ACUTE INFECTIONS, CBCT shows the actual size of the lesion, its spatial relationship with anatomic landmarks and how far the lesion may extended from the oral cavity into the base of the skull, cervical, spine, paranasal sinuses or nasopharynx ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY For complex cases, particularly those requiring combined orthodontic/surgical management, CBCT may be justified. ORTHODONTICS CBCT offers an undistorted view to accurately visualize both erupted and non-erupted teeth, tooth root orientation and anomalous structures TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT Fibrous and bony ankylosis, tumors and tumor-like conditions in the region of the TMJ are also well seen with CBCT

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 neoplasms.They share many similar histopathological 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 Multidetector 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 submillimetric thickness .MDCT is a powerful diagnostic and illustrative tool that will narrow the gap between the radiologists and the surgeons.

Abstract:

Neuromuscular dentistry is the understanding of the relationship between the Temperomandibular joints(TMJ), teeth, muscles and nerves. It enables the optimum physiologic position of the jaw to be established to assist in the correction of the underlying causes of craniofacial – Temperomandibular joint, head and neck pain. Neuromuscular dentistry is also used to determine the optimum physiologic jaw position prior to complex dental restorative procedures, cosmetic dentistry, dental sleep medicine procedures, dentofacialorthopaedics and orthodontics. It is a treatment modality of dentistry that focuses on correcting the physiologic “misalignment” of the jaw at the Temperomandibular joint (TMJ). This lecture focuses on diagnosis and treatment of temporo-mandibular disorders according to neuromuscular principals and phylosophy. The procedure is described according to the ICNOG (International College of Neuromuscular Orthodontics and Gnathology) protocol.

In 2014, he joined the R&D Unit of K Line International with focus on orthodontic clear aligners. He also serves as a Research Fellow at the Orthopaedic Department, October 6 University, Cairo, Egypt. He has several publications in the orthopaedic field.

Abstract:

Objectives: To widespread the use of clear aligners to include cases with severe malalignment. To develop new engagers system that is applicable by patients and does not necessitate several visits to dental clinic. To help outpatients to achieve optimal benefit from clear aligner therapy with minimal office recalls. To implement new material in the clear aligners field. Methods: This is a call for participation targeting researchers in dental materials and orthodontics. The author serves as a technical coordinator at a clear aligners' company serving worldwide. In many cases, dentists ask to avoid building composite engagers on teeth as the patients are travelling outpatients, and using such engagers is not applicable for them. However, these patients are dismissed as optimal results are not guaranteed without using engagers. Composite engagers have the function of better anchorage and more force precision commonly used in severe malalignment/malocclusion cases. Results: New material needs to be developed to replace composite engagers that are routinely built up by dentists at dental clinics. The author wishes to find material being applied by the patient him/herself rather than requiring several office recalls. Conclusions: This discovery should consider biocompatibility, easy attach/detach and high sustainability to masticatory forces and intraoral conditions.

Abstract:

We all know that one of the main causes of death world wide is head and neck cancer. As the incidence of cancer patients are increasing, dentists have a higher chance of visiting such patients at their offices. Radiation to the head and neck region, especially in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, has serious adverse effects on oral and dental health. Despite advanced radiation methods, such as intensity modulated radiation therapy: IMRT, and the use of protective drugs, such as Amifostine, the burden of radition-related consequences in the patients with head and neck carcinomas is yet significant. There are some simple measures that, if be taken at the proper time, can reduce the negative effects of ionizing radiation on the oral hard and soft tissues, particularly salivary glands and teeth. The following steps, with known mechanisms, will be beneficial to the patients and will enhance their quality of life during and after radiation therapy period. 1- Elimination of all the sources of oral infections 2- Hydration 3- In-office fluoride therapy 4- Home use of Xylitol mouth wash 5- Frequent stimulation of salivary glands by mechanical and chemical methods These five simple and non-expensive steps not only soothe the severity of immediate radiation-induced consequences, such as mucositis, but also reduce the magnitude of post-radiation effcts, such as dry mouth and apple-core tooth decays.

Abstract:

Introduction: The use of porcelain crowns and veneers to solve esthetic problems has been shown to be a valid management option especially in the anterior esthetic zone. This case report discusses a patient having diastema in the anterior region. The patient was treated with orthodontic treatment and porcelain crowns & veneers in the maxillary arch for the closure of diastema. Clinical report: A 35 year old male patient with a chief complaint of discolored anterior teeth and gaps between the teeth. The patient was unhappy with the appearance of his teeth. After thorough examination, impressions for diagnostic models were made in irreversible hydrocolloid. The models were studied to decide the shape and size of the restorations with help of a diagnostic wax up. Before proceeding for tooth preparation, shade was selected using Classical shade guide. The maxillary teeth were then prepared from right 2nd premolar to the left 2ndpremolar to receive porcelain crowns and laminate veneers. Impression of the maxillary arch was made in addition silicone. The laminates were etched with 4% hydrofluoric acid. After etching, they were washed thoroughly using liberal amount of water. On drying, a coat of Silane coupling agent was applied. The prepared teeth were etched using 37% phosphoric acid for 15 seconds. On air drying, bonding agent was applied & light cured for 10 seconds. Composite luting agent was used for cementation. The laminates were spot cured for 5 seconds initially. Excess cement was removed with explorer and then complete curing was done for 20 seconds. On completion of the cementation procedure, the occlusion was checked in centric and eccentric positions for interferences. The high points were removed and polished. Discussion: The etiology of diastema may be attributed to the following factors: (a) Hereditary- congenitally missing teeth, tooth and jaw size discrepancy, supernumerary teeth & frenum attachments; (b) Developmental problems- habits, periodontal disease, tooth loss, posterior bite collapse. Treatment planning for diastema correction includes orthodontic closure, restorative therapy, surgical correction or multidisciplinary approach depending upon the cause of diastema. Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment, bonded porcelain crowns & veneers can provide successful esthetic and functional long-term service for patients.

She worked with cosmetics specially composite veneers in jordan for 1 year and then worked as gp dentist in qatar.

Abstract:

Composite veneers are used to improve the colour, shape, size and texture of teeth to make them more attractive. They can be used to fix minor chips and cracks in teeth. They are different from porcelain veneers in that they require little if any tooth reduction (drilling) and the treatment can be completed in a single visit. However unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers can be prone to staining and may not last as long. To create composite veneers, composite material is applied to the front surfaces of the teeth and sculpted to the desired shape and finish under the hands of an experienced cosmetic dentist fillings” are made of composite resin and are directly placed on the tooth and cured (set) with a blue light. These composite resin veneers can improve the appearance of teeth significantly and normally last 3 to 5 years. However, being more porous than porcelain veneers, they can stain and chip over time and may require regular polishing to address this spoiling. The larger the restoration and the greater the number of restorations, the more challenging it is for your prosthodontist to control the size, shape and colour of your veneers using direct composite fillings. If many teeth, or large portions of teeth, are involved porcelain veneers may be the preferred option.

Abstract:

Low Level Laser Therapy :- Low level laser dentistry is mainly underestimated. It is mainly used in orthodontics for faster tooth movements, post extraction pain and probably any kind of pain, with faster healing post surgeries. The only physical risk in laser therapy is the risk of an eye damage. While never reported to have occurred, the risk of an eye damage must be considered, especially when using an invisible and collimated (parallel) beam. Suitable protective goggles should be worn by the patient for extra oral therapy in the face. The therapeutic lasers offer improved possibilities in the treatment of pain, wound healing, inflammation and oedema. However, they also offer the dentist a possibility to treat indications previously not within the capability of the general dentist. Diode Laser:- Since the introduction of the first dental diode laser in 1995, numerous diode lasers are now available. Oral surgery procedures that require the removal of soft tissue can be achieved by vaporization (ablation) and/or cutting (incision, excision, or dissection) with the diode laser. Some of these soft-tissue applications include but are not limited to gingivectomy, frenectomy, hemorrhagic lesion removal, gingival sculpting techniques associated with implant recovering or therapy, and subgingival curettage.3 The advantages for laser soft-tissue oral surgery include improved hemostasis, reduced intraoperative and postoperative pain/discomfort, decreased postoperative swelling, eliminated need for sutures, reduced bacterial count at the wound site, reduced operator time, and versatility. Because of its versatility, this laser may be a useful alternative for soft-tissue oral surgery compared to traditional periodontal surgery. It is also used for depigmentation of gums and disinfection of periodontal pockets and root canals. Erbium Laser :- The term laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Erbium lasers are categorized in the mid-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, with light emitted as invisible, nonionizing, thermal radiation. Currently, two types of erbium lasers are available, each emitting a unique wavelength, depending on the material present in the laser rod inside the device. The rods contain the active medium, host crystals, into which dopant atoms are uniformly distributed. According to current science, laser light energy must be converted into some other form of energy to produce a biologic effect. Both types of erbium lasers are categorized as laser light that is converted into acoustic (mechanical) energy. This type of energy is in the form of a shock wave, physically disrupting the target tissue. Although wavelength is a major factor, laser peak power, pulse duration, pulse energy, and beam focusing are critical parameters. Production of acoustic shock waves is due to the rapid, volumetric expansion occurring when water changes from liquid to gas. This expansion causes the surrounding tooth structure to explode, causing an explosive expansion. The water spray of the handpiece accelerates this effect by removing exploded tissue, transferring minimal heat to the remaining tooth. The Er,Cr:YSGG wave length has two pulse width options for hard tissues and soft tissues. The longer pulse width used for soft tissue haemostasis. The uses of erbium, has a wide range right from cutting of bone sinus lift surgeries, pips phenomenon in periodontal pockets and irrigation of root canals. Conclusion :- The concepts are going to be illustrated with clinical cases and also uses of specific wavelengths according to the absorption in tissues will be discussed. The difference between laser scalpel and electro surgery at microscopic level will also be discussed.

Abstract:

Smart materials are those materials having properties which may be altered in a controlled fashion by stimuli, such as stress, temperature, moisture, pH, and electric or magnetic fields. Examples include piezoelectric materials, which produce a voltage when stress is applied or vice versa, shape memory alloys or shape memory polymers which are thermo responsive, and pH sensitive polymers which swell or shrink as a response to change in pH. Smart behavior occurs when a material can sense some stimulus from its environment and react to it in a useful, reliable, reproducible, and usually reversible manner. These properties have a beneficial application in various fields including dentistry. Shape memory alloys, zirconia, and smart seal are examples of materials exhibiting a smart behavior in dentistry. There is a strong trend in material science to develop and apply these intelligent materials. These materials would potentially allow new and ground breaking dental therapies with a significantly enhanced clinical outcome of treatments. The numerous applications they have been put to, no wonder tells us that these smart materials hold a real good promise for the future of dentistry. The aim of the presentation is to show how dentists and dentistry made use of these smart materials for benefits of their patients.

Abstract:

Recent advance in laser technology has revolutionized the dental practice. The individual laser type owing to its physical properties and tissue interactions has range of application in dental practice. Diode laser are semiconductor lasers used for multitude application in dental procedures. The objective o the presentation is to highlight the uses of diode lasers in dental procedures as pulpotomy medicament and canal disinfectants, in frenectomies and laser applied fluoride therapy (LAFT). LAFT is a combination of laser irradiation combined with fluoride application. This combination improves the resistance of enamel surface to acids in the process of caries by creating the microspaces in the enamel surface and serves as the reservoirs of fluorides. This was tested by evaluating the loosely bound fluoride and the SEM evaluation of the enamel surfaces exposed to LAFT. Diode lasers used as canal disinfectants demonstrated better antibacterial properties. In frenectomies, diode lasers demonstrated better patient satisfaction and healing as compared to conventional surgical procedures. Diode laser as a plpotomy medicament demonstrated better pulpal response by maintaining the integrity of odontoblastic layer, reduced inflammation and necrosis when compared to formocresol. In conclusion, diode laser has proven to have a multitude of application in preventive and restorative procedures and in diagnosis of caries.

Abstract:

The new psychosocial model of health led to viewing health from different prospective. Thus, the three main aims of health promotion are, reduction of disease that is based on biomedical model. Second and third are promoting health and improving the quality of life which is linked with psychosocial model. Moreover, there are a prolifration of researches in the gulf countries in both models. However, these researches are unorganized efforts that cannot be reliable by decision makers to approach the aim of health promotion. This lecture discus the rationality toward organized oral and dental research and presenting a proposal that could be implemented in the gulf region in this regard.

Abstract:

The orthodontic patient’s number one concern has always been “how long will I have to wear the braces for?” Recent developments in the field of orthodontics have made it possible to increase the speed and efficiency of orthodontic tooth movement such that there is a dramatic decrease in treatment time. Various pharmaceutical, surgical, mechanical/physical simulation methods have been utilized in an attempt to enhance the periodontium’s response to orthodontic forces, and subsequently accelerate tooth movement. This scientific poster reviews the need for shortening orthodontic treatment time, the different modalities available in order to do so, as well as their limitations and future scope for further improvement.

Abstract:

Trauma is the most important cause of severe morbidity among young population. It has been termed as the "neglected disease of modern society". Maxillofacial injury is usually seen in majority of road traffic accidents. Panfacial trauma represents about 10% of all the facial fractures and remains the most challenging facial injury pattern to treat. Since decades, the focus is to develop an organized plan to treat the Panfacial trauma so as to retain the facial form and functions post operatively. The goal of treatment is to restore the anatomy in all three dimensions, plating the maxillofacial buttresses wherever necessary through the flexible approach at the same adhering to basic principle. In the present day scenario because of high velocity accidents, patterns of fracture are so varied, that it is difficult to adhere to any specific sequence or pattern. The correct timing of surgical intervention and use of rigid fixation allows the restoration of morphological and functional nature of face after Panfacial fractures. The aim of presenting the paper is to review the principles that determine the choice of method of treatment and the outcome in traumatic injuries and to present one such case of Panfacial trauma which was successfully managed following these principles
