Composite resin has produced as an esthetic material around since the 1960s. To attain that the composite resin matches the surrounding natural teeth, shade matching is a very important process. Human teeth show variety of colorations depending on age, race, and other factors...... ReadMore

Summary Children with rare diseases present various clinical manifestations affecting different structures and viscera. The oral cavity is no exception and shows several dental anomalies. These anomalies are very frequent but not well studied in our population. Thereby, the present study was conducted to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical features of dental anomalies in Moroccan patients with rare diseases. Material and methods: A descriptive study was carried out on a sample of children and adolescents with rare disease recruited from the Pedodontics and the Medical Genetics Departments of ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca. Each patient underwent clinical and radiographic examinations. Sociodemographic, clinical and para-clinical data were collected. Results: A total of 6..... ReadMore

Believe it or not, the art of dentistry or taking care of one’s teeth has been established long before the original toothbrushes were made. The first use of toothbrushes was invented by the Chinese in the 15th to 16th century. The original toothbrush bristles consisted of animal hairs such as hog or bamboo, while its handle was of animal bone. From there it has been ever since evolving and changing to the very plastic and nylon bristles toothbrush that is in use currently...... ReadMore

Objectives: This study evaluates the effectiveness of active participation on improving oral health knowledge among preschool children aged 3-5 years, using age-appropriate materials and multiple learning modalities. Methods: Children aged 3-5 years were randomly assigned to either the test group, where children actively participated in oral health education (provided in English and Spanish), or the control group, where children viewed videos not related to oral health. Two educational sessions were used as part of the training: Lesson 1 focused on educating children about healthy versus unhealthy foods (n = 136); and Lesson 2 focused on oral hygiene habits (n = 132). Blinded post- testing was conducted and oral health knowledge before and after the education was evaluated to analyze the effectiveness of active participation. Results: ..... ReadMore

Chemical oxidation of stains using hydrogen peroxide (HP) or carbamide peroxide (CP) is one of several approaches to whiten teeth. There is an increasing number of consumer products with varying concentrations of these active ingredients as well as ways to apply the product. Pthalimidoperoxycaproic acid (PAP) is another oxidizing agent that has recently been used in consumer products. The goal of this project was to measure both the amount of collagen and other proteins released from teeth treated with either 44% CP, 35% CP with LED light, 14% HP or PAP. Products with 35% CP, 44% CP and PAP had short exposure times (30 min) while the 14% HP was left on teeth overnight. Teeth were suspended in artificial saliva (AS) for six days before first round (12 treatments applied as recommended by the manufacturer) followed ..... ReadMore

Purpose: To reproducibly evaluate on video graphs an aesthetic score (Smile Esthetic Index (SEI)) previously validated on photos. Methods: Smile video graphs were done using a smartphone associated with the Smile lite MDP mounted on a tripod. They were then randomized and evaluated twice consecutively at a 1-week interval by 3 periodontists according to the SEI based on 10 variables. Cohen’s Kappa and Fleiss’ Kappa tests were performed to measure intra- and inter-rater agreement. Results: Sixty-five smile video graphs of 24 men and 41 women (mean age 33 +/- 11.3 years) were scored. A mean intra-individual agreement of 0.68 [0.64-0.73] was obtained, representing substantial agreement. The inter-individual agreement calculated for each variable ranged from 0.31 for the variable “absenc..... ReadMore

Currently, dental implantology continues to develop actively. There are more than a hundred manufacturers of dental implants (DI) and methods of processing their surfaces on the market. The traditional methods of modifying the DI surface include shot blasting with fractions (TiO2, Al2O3, SiO2, hydroxyapatite) followed by acid etching; anodizing method; laser treatment; spraying metals or salts on the surface of the DI. As a result, the surfaces of dental implants acquire macro- and micro-roughness, porosity to increase the area of contact with the bone tissue [1]...... ReadMore

Cleaning your teeth isn’t only for a more white grin and fresher breath, it’s basic for your general wellbeing. Whenever you brush, you eliminate plaque - a flimsy film of microbes that adheres to your teeth and will make holes, gum infection, and assuming you disregard it adequately long, will make your teeth drop out! You know for what reason to brush, however in the event that you might want to figure out how to clean your teeth effectively, these ideas will help...... ReadMore

Mouthwash is the process of soaking the teeth, gums and mucosa of the mouth with a solution. Its purpose is to improve oral hygiene and to treat certain oral pathologies. The aim of this work is to evaluate the in vitro effect of salt water mouthwashes on oral flora. We conducted a cross-over clinical trial in the Bacteriology Department of the Central Laboratory of the HGY. This study lasted 6 months, from November 2019 to April 2020. During the course of this work, we carried out convenience sampling. Each participant in our study received the same intervention (mouthwash) at a specific time and the effect was observed at regular intervals (H1 - H5). A period of 3 days (wash-out period) was observed between the interventions (mouthwashes with different saline solutions: 0.9%; 2%; 5.8% and 23%) in order to avoid carry-over ef..... ReadMore

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease and is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. This disease is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with the route of spreading through the air. Tuberculosis has various manifestations in various locations in the body, which are generally classified into pulmonary TB and extrapulmonary TB groups. The incidence of extrapulmonary TB is estimated to account for about 10-15% of total TB cases, which includes the lymphatic system, musculoskeletal system and central nervous system, skin, kidneys, and several other organs, including the oral cavity [1]. According to the 2015 WHO report, the number of TB cases in Indonesia is estimated to be 1 million new TB cases per year (399 per 100,000 population) with 100,000 deaths per year (41 per 100,000 population).

Oral care issues are widespread with South African terminally ill patients. It is one of the least understood and poorly handled areas of general medical care among patients and their families. In order to provide effective end-of-life care, all parties involved must be educated on the importance of meticulous oral awareness and management. Palliative care patients who are low-income, uninsured, and have limited access to appropriate oral health care are more likely to have poor oral health. As a result, poor dental health has become a symbol of social disparity [1]. Palliative care is a comprehensive approach to disease care and prevention that stresses contemplation of the complete person, physiologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually [2]. It is important to assess an individual and family using all these different domains..... ReadMore

Discrete count data abounds in a variety of scientific fields such as epidemiology, medicine, biology, and in a number of clinical trial settings [1,2]. For example, in the field of dental caries, we work with the popular DMFT/DMFS index [3] that counts the total number of decayed (D), missing (M) and filled (F) tooth(T)/surfaces(S) for the whole mouth. A common feature of these data is the presence of ‘overdispersion’ when fitting a Poisson (P) distribution, in the sense that the sample variance is larger than the sample mean, and hence the well-known “unit variance to mean ratio” is violated. Overdispersion is caused due to several factors, such as unobserved heterogeneity, missing covariates, or correlation among repeated or longitudinal measures. These count responses can also be characterized by excessive observations at one ..... ReadMore
