Abstract:

Introduction & Aim: Gingival color is an important component of an attractive smile. It helps to increase once self-confidence and reflect positive impact on the viewers. The aim of the present study was to identify most effective treatment option for the management of generalized physiological gingival hyperpigmentation.

Method: A thorough literature search was done from 1919 to October 2018 on different databases (CINHAL, PubMed and Dental and Oral Science) and manual search was also conducted to answer the review question. Only clinical trials done on human subjects and focused on different depigmentation methods were included. Control group in all the included studies was surgical stripping. The outcome was the amount of recurrence and discomfort associated. Final selected 25 articles underwent qualitative analysis and few studies underwent meta-analysis. RevMan software was used for data analysis.

Results: Out of total 26,132 articles, 25 met the inclusion criteria. Laser ablation was the most frequently used method for depigmentation in the included studies. There was no significant difference in terms of amount of depigmentation achieved (P=0.23) and recurrence between the groups (P=0.75). However, laser ablation was associated with significantly less post-operative pain when compared to surgical stripping group (P≤ 0.05).

Conclusion: All gingival depigmentation techniques are equally effective. Diode laser was the most frequently used method for depigmentation and associated with less discomfort and pain more patient preference and satisfaction. More good quality evidence in form of Randomized control trials are needed to draw strong conclusion.

Abstract:

Cavity liners are film-forming materials which are applied in a thin layer to seal the dentine and walls of the cavity against the influx of bacteria or irritants from restorative procedures. Cavity liners are pulp protection materials placed with minimal thickness which act as cavity sealers and provide beneficial functions, such as fluoride release, adhesion to tooth structure with antibacterial action that promotes the health of the pulp. Several materials have been used as sealers, such as, glass ionomer cement, resin modified glass ionomer cement and calcium hydroxide. The newer materials, mineral trioxide
aggregate and biodentine are also used to protect the pulp. Biodentin is a promising material and has the potential of making major contributions in the field of dentistry. We have compared and assessed the pH and diffusion of ions from three different materials when used as a cavity liner in permanent molars. A standard class-I cavity preparation was made in 30 extracted permanent molars with maintaining remaining dentin thickness of 1±0.3 mm tissue. Samples were divided into three equal groups for three different materials and two teeth as positive controls. Indirect pulp capping was performed in all the teeth by using Dycal, light curing calcium hydroxide (Pulpdent) and Biodentin. The leached Ca2+ ions were measured using optical emission spectrometry and the release of OH– ions using a pH meter. The measurements were performed after 24 hours, 7 days and 28 days in saline solution. Samples were subjected for statistical analysis by using ANOVA test.

Abstract:

Different extraction patterns are employed during orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to compare occlusal parameters in symmetric and asymmetric extraction groups that led to the decision of certain extraction pattern. This will help in developing accurate treatment plans in the future which will improve both the efficiency and outcome of the treatment.
A cross-sectional study was conducted using orthodontic files of 62 patients at a tertiary care hospital. These patients were divided into two groups according to their treatment approach. Group 1 and Group 2 consisted of 31 patients each treated with symmetric and asymmetric extraction patterns respectively. Categorical variables such as gender, and canine and molar relationships were reported as frequencies and percentages. The frequencies of canine and molar relationships were compared between the symmetric and asymmetric extraction groups using Chi-square test. The mean midline discrepancy, overjet,
overbite, and tooth material-arch length discrepancy were compared between the two groups using independent sample t-test. A p-value < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Greater overjet values were found in the symmetric extraction group, whereas greater values of midline discrepancy were found in the asymmetric extraction group. Molar and canine relationship also showed significantly different values between the symmetric and asymmetric groups. It can be concluded that overjet, midline discrepancies, molar and canine relationships play an important role in formulating ideal extraction plans. Customized treatment plans on the basis of comprehensive analysis should be developed to expect reliable results.

Abstract:

Nanotechnology based dentistry comprises the areas of expertise like diagnosis, materials, restorative dentistry and surgery. Manipulating nanotechnology in each of these fields reveals extensive advantages. In this study, the merits which have been presented by nanotechnology in dentistry have been highlighted. By nano-diagnostics based on nanostructures, detection of diseases like tumor cells in initial stages have been possible which was not possible in chemical-based diagnostic techniques. Nano dental materials have two main features, strength and esthetics. Artificial teeth and dental implant with better quality are available based on nanomaterials. In nano surgeries the main goal is performing surgery at cellular levels. Nano dentistry as a multidisciplinary field of study has gained great interest in the past decade which leads to fast growth of this field with noticeable benefits for dentists and patients.

Abstract:

The objective of present systematic review is to evaluate the success of pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth presented with irreversible pulpitis. The following databases were searched: PubMed, Oral and Dentistry Database, Cochrane and CINAHL plus. We included studies published in English language only. However narrative reviews and case reports/series were excluded. The first electronic and hand search yielded a total of 2851 articles. After going through extensive screening and eligibility process, only 6 articles were finally selected for the review. The follow-up period ranged from 1-10 years. Randomized controlled trial compared pulpotomy with the root canal treatment and reported comparable and even better success of the pulpotomy (78% success). All the other studies have also shown better clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy (68%- 100%). Pulpotomy can be considered as an alternative option for mature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis.

Abstract:

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death throughout the world. In 2013, it was the number seven cause of death In Indonesia, by reaching 1.4% or an estimated 347,792 people. Among them, squamous cell carcinoma is the most common cancer in the oral cavity, patient survival is less than 50 %. Despite rapid advances in the field of surgical therapy, radiation, and chemotherapy, the treatment of cancer has not been completed. Meanwhile, new cases continue to emerge every year. The development and growth of cancer cells is caused by several factors, including; Apoptotic barriers and angiogenesis activity. The formation of angiogenesis is induced by growth factors, one of which is dominated by VEGF. With these backgrounds, authors want to inhibit cancer cell growth by increasing apoptosis of cancer cells and inhibiting the formation of angiogenesis. Pomegranate (punica granatum L, PGL) is one of the plants that has an active ingredient of ellagic acid (EA), EA in some studies has anti-cancer activity in vitro, but EA is difficult to absorb.   Biovability of pomegranate / PGL fruit extract is better than EA because it is easily absorbed and contains polyphenol. The aim of this study was to determine the mechanism of action of whole pomegranate extract (PGL) in killing oral cavity cancer cells through VEGF expression and apoptosis. The research method used was experimental laboratories, 24 mice (Balb / c), males, aged 5 months were divided randomly into 3 groups: K0 (not suffering from cancer and not given PGL), K1 (had cancer and was not given PGL, P1 (have cancer and is given PGL). Mice become cancerous by: injecting the buccal mucosa of the right mouse with benzopirene 0.04 mg dissolved in 0.04ml olivarum oil, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Giving PGL at a dose of 75 mg / kg BW / day for 4 weeks. Examination using immunohistochemistry and tunnel assay techniques. The results showed that administration of pomegranate whole extract (PGL) group P1 could kill cancer cells by decreasing VEGF expression 0.183 ± 0.098 compared to KO group 0.133 ± 0.103 did not differ significantly, differ significantly in comparison with K1 group 0.350 ± 0.104.   Whole pomegranate extract (P1) killed cancer cells by increasing apoptosis expression highest 0.367 ± 0.196 compared to the KO group 0.083 ± 0.132 and K1 0.050 ± 0.054 significantly different than KO and K1.   In conclusion, the mechanism of action of pomegranate extract (PGL) / P1 in killing cancer cethlls is by increasing apoptosis expression and decreasing VEGF expression

Abstract:

Background: Dental caries are a global public health problem and influence the overall health of children. The risk factors for caries include biological, socio-behavioral and environmental factors. This cross-sectional study assessed dental caries and their associations with socioeconomic factors, oral hygiene practices and eating habits among Emirati and non-Emirati children in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Methods: The stratified sample comprised children aged 18 months to 4 yearsrecruited from 7 nurseries. The World Health Organization (WHO) decayed, missing and filled teeth index (dmft) was used to analyze the dental status of the children. Parents completed a questionnaire regarding demographics, food consumption and oral habits. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee at Zayed University, UAE.

Results: A total of 186 children with a mean age of 2.46 years, of which 46.2% were Emirati, participated. Overall, 41% of the children had dental caries. The mean dmft±SD was 1.70±2.81 with a mean±SD decayed component (dt) of 1.68±2.80 and mean±SD filled component (ft) of 0.02±0.19. Emirati children showed higher mean dmft, Plaque Index and Significant Carries Index values than non-Emirati children (P<0.000). Low maternal education, rural nursery location, infrequent tooth-brushing, frequent consumption of high-sugar food items and Emirati nationality were factors significantly associated with dental caries.

Conclusions: In this study, 4 out of 10 nursery children were found to have dental caries. Sociodemographic factors, dietary and oral health habits were associated with dental caries. Effective oral health interventions tailored to improve eating habits and the dental screening of children in this age group are imperative to mitigate these concerns.

Abstract:

Background: Early detection of oral cancer can improve the prognosis and the 5-year survival rate. Oral cancer screening should be done by dentists as a routine procedure.

Objectives:  To assess the level of oral cancer knowledge among new dental graduates who attended the continuing education courses through MOH, Dental Administration –Kuwait. Methods: Self-reporting questionnaire was distributed to newly graduated dentists in Kuwait during 2012 to 2015. The questionnaire included questions on knowledge, practices, opinion, and attitude regarding oral cancer. The answers to knowledge questions were coded, then entered, and analyzed separately using Epi-Info 3.5.3. Results: Of the 310 dentists who responded, 96% were Kuwaiti, 4% were from other countries. The mean age was 31.7±10.3 years with the gender distribution of 55.2% males and 44.8% females. The mean experience was 1.4±1.8 years. Ninety four percent of the dentists had a bachelor degree and 6% had degrees more than bachelor.    Majority of dentists knew the lesions associated with oral cancer (92%). Also, most of dentists had knowledge about the characteristics of oral cancer metastases (83%) as well as its common risk factors (95%).  Their knowledge on the age of oral cancer diagnosis (41%) as well as its common symptoms (51%) was not very encouraging. Almost, all dentists were interested in attending continuing education courses regarding oral cancer (96%). Conclusion: Most dentists showed a good knowledge about various aspects of oral cancer. More continuing education programs should be arranged to train newly graduated dentists regarding visual oral cancer screening. Oral cancer screening should be a routine procedure for the high risk patients at the primary oral health care clinics. Key words: oral cancer, dentists, knowledge, risk factors.
