Abstract:
Dental decay in children continues to be a significant problem. The World Health Organization reports that, worldwide, 60–90% of school children and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities. Significant risk factors in children include an unhealthy diet, poor oral hygiene and social determinants. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the use of office-based general anesthesia, provided by a dentist anesthesiologist, by pediatric dentists practicing in the United States. This information can provide much needed care for the very young child, or children with special needs, with significant dental decay in a cost effective manner. Pediatric dentists have traditionally relied upon self-administered sedation techniques, or the use of general anesthesia in the operating room, to provide care for those patients not able to undergo treatment in the regular office environment. Recent research has demonstrated that the use of dentist anesthesiologists to provide office-based general anesthesia is an emerging trend in the United States. Research findings included: (1) Over 70% of board-certified US pediatric dentists use some form of sedation in their offices; (2) Less than 20% administer IV sedation; (3) 20 to 40% use a dentist anesthesiologist and (4) 60 to 70% would use dentist anesthesiologists if one were available.A review of 750 patients that received dental care under general anesthesia provided by the author was evaluated as to patient age, primary medical diagnosis and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification 1 to 4. Candidates for office-based general anesthesia (ASA types 1 and 2) were identified and a basic cost analysis was completed for those receiving care in the operating room as compared to if treatment had been provided in the office environment. Discussion of the results will be provided.

Abstract:
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of dry mouth in a select sample of edentulous Jordanian older population wearing complete dentures and to evaluate its impact on oral functions. Background: The prevalence and impact of Xerostomia as a cofactor in causing denture problems in Jordanians have not been previously investigated. Materials and methods: This study included 455 participants (253 men and 202 women). Perception of dry mouth was measured by a pilot-tested questionnaire. Xerostomic status was confirmed clinically. Complete denture function was also assessed. Results: One hundred and thirty six subjects (29.9%) had reported a subjective feeling of dry mouth with a prevalence of 24.9% in men (n = 63) and 36.1% in women (n = 73) (p < 0.01). 136 of the 145 subjects with satisfactory dentures showed one or more signs suggestive of Xerostomia. The majority of xerostomic participants with different sets of complete dentures were dissatisfied with oral functions (p < 0.05). There was a significant association between dry mouth and increasing age, female gender and smoking status (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Among complete denture wearers, Xerostomia is significantly more prevalent in women and associated with increased age and smoking. Xerostomia adversely affects oral functions and overall satisfaction with dentures.Keywords: complete denture, oral function, saliva.

Abstract:
In day to day practice we need to treat patients for crown and bridge, fillings, implants with occlusal wear, abfraction, loss of anterior guidance. There is definite cause and effect relationship. So if occlusal disease is present then how to treat patients in day to day practice?.... traditional way … that is at intercuspal position (IP or MIP) or at Centric Relation(CR ) . What are the signs of occlusal disease, muscle incoordination? How it affects health? Are we really restoring our patients to health in? Is there any easy and practical way to bring health back due to occlusal disease? Is it possible to increase success of endodontic treatment or implants just by correcting occlusal disease? Are we doing unnecessary Endodontics when traumatic occlusion is present? All these issues in day to day practice will be discussed.

Abstract:
Increasingly, human saliva is used as a valuable biomarker to the identification of oral and systemic diseases. Additionally, salivary biomolecules can provide powerful activators for antimicrobials in the treatment of oral malodor and oral diseases. This presentation describes the discovery and use of a pharmaceutical composition of stabilized chlorine dioxide for the treatment and prevention of oral malodor and disease wherein the composition is buffered specifically to react to salivary biomolecules of the oral cavity. A novel means of composing has been discovered wherein the activation and release of active (gaseous chlorine dioxide) from the composition a) occurs rapidly and without a measurable interval of induction, b) results from the oxidative reduction and consumption of amino acids and volatile sulfur compound precursors, and c) generates twice the available active as that generated from conventional formulations. Further, a novel means to measuring the oxidative consumption of salivary biomolecules is revealed and discussed.Implications for future use of salivary biomolecules as biomarkers of disease and oral malodor are discussed as well as implications for future research of using the measurementof the consumption of salivary biomolecules by antimicrobials in disease diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract:
The key in understanding occlusion and malocclusion is the analysis of function. Neuromuscular Orthodontics is a relatively new and easy approach engineered for the orthodontist of the future. This brief course has the objective to introduce you to the basics of Neuromuscular Orthodontics: muscle function (EMG), lip balance, Cranio-Cervical posture, Mandibular Tracking, Muscle relaxation (T.E.N.S.). During this course you will be shown several cases treated with a variety of functional appliances for the treatment of Class I-II-III malocclusions and Oral Orthotics for the treatment of TMJ disorders. See how easy treatment is once your comprehension of the cause of malocclusion is exhaustive. Part 1 of the course will focus on how to diagnose a malocclusion without all the complicated tasks that have been taught in the past, but in a more modern and functional fashion. Part 2 will show you how to build a better looking face while reducing relapse and TMJ problems. Join over 600 orthodontists worldwide that have participated at courses led by the International College of Neuromuscular Orthodontics and Gnathology (ICNOG).

Abstract:
Scanning abutments allow clinicians to use digital intra-oral scanners to produce casts on which to fabricate implant-supported prostheses. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a digital impression approach and to compare it to a conventional impression technique. A simulated patient was fabricated with implants placed in posterior edentulous segments. Digital implant impressions were taken using an intra-oral scanner with scanbodies and conventional implant impressions were taken using an open-tray technique. 3-dimensional analysis and comparison of implant location on resultant working casts was performed using a laser scanner. A statistically significant difference between the two groups was found, with average 3-dimensional error of implant positioning of 116μm and 56μm for the digital group and conventional groups, respectively (p=0.01). Within the limitations of this study, the digital impression technique was less accurate than the conventional impression technique and did not produce working casts with clinically acceptable accuracy.

Abstract:
Pediatric restorative dentistry is challenging due to various reasons. Limited mouth opening, isolation difficulties, poor micromechanical bonding to primary enamel, and above all, unpredictable child behaviour are the common reasons for poor success of intra-coronal restorations in primary teeth. Furthermore, the success of restorations is also an outcome of caries control and prevention in the long run. This presentation overviews the recent concepts and techniques in the restorative management of dental caries in children based on recent best evidence. It includes topics such as caries risk assessment, minimally invasive approaches, stepwise excavation, sealing of caries, pit and fissure sealants, preventive resin restorations, glass-ionomer and composite restorative materials, stainless steel crowns and anterior crown restorations.
