Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of the denture base materials produced by different methods after repair and was to evaluate effect of thermal aging. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 specimens were fabricated by conventional, CAD/CAM milled, and 3D-printed denture base materials for this in vitro study. Specimens were divided into four groups; non-repaired groups (N), repaired groups (R), non-repaired-aged groups (N-aged), and repaired-aged (R-aged) groups. In N groups, specimens were stored in the water bath for 24 h before the flexural strength test. In N-aged groups, samples were subjected to thermal aging for 5000 cycles, then tested. For repaired R groups, samples were repaired with auto-polymerized acrylic resin and storage in the water bath for 24 h then tested. For the R-aged groups, samples were repaired with auto-polymerized acrylic resin, aged for 5000 cycles, then tested. Specimens were performed a three-point loading test using a universal testing machine. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: When the groups were compared with each other, the difference between all groups was found to be statistically significant (p

Maxillary defects resulting from surgical treatment for tumors, congenital malformations, and traumas might interrupt the patient’s speech, mastication, swallowing function, and physical appearance. The surgical obturator serves to restore the continuity of the palate as an immediate prosthesis after surgery. It provides an anatomically accurate, clean scaffold for surgical dressing while supporting and keeping the facial flap pressure. We report a case of temporary immediate oral rehabilitation after partial maxillectomy. A-39-year-old female with benign right maxillary tumor. The surgical obturator design with the addition of a buccal extension. Buccal extension is a high buccal flange that supports the facial flap and consequently maintains the facial aesthetics. This obturator also serves as a scaffold for surgical dressing and temporary defect closure between the nasal and oral cavities. A brief literature review regarding oral rehabilitation using a surgical obturator after maxillectomy is also explained. Follow-up evaluation showed that the obturator supports the upper lip, lifts the nasal lobe of the affected area, and provides a more symmetrical facial feature. Oral function improvements such as swallowing, speech, and better facial profile are also observed.

Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition of the periodontium leading to loss of supporting structures of the tooth. The regeneration of periodontium refers to the restoration of the lost tissues to their original form and function by reiterating the fundamental wound healing processes involved in their development. Research has led to the development of “Autologous biomaterials” provide signals for healing, repair, and regeneration. These autologous substances also fosters neo-angiogenesis and new bone formation and therefore have yielded encouraging results in the field of regenerative dentistry. Platelet concentrates have higher concentration of growth factors which enhance periodontal regeneration. Blood derivatives have several advantages such as being autogenous, cost effective, less time consuming, simple to perform and prolonged release of growth factors. Since inception, many approaches have evolved also in-depth research has been done regarding its biological and clinical applications. Several modifications have been advocated in the conventional protocol like the advanced PRF, injectable PRF, PRF lysate and Titanium-prepared PRF. This review paper addresses the evolution, applications of platelet concentrates for tissue engineering, recent advances, and novel protocols. Furthermore, several future perspectives of platelet concentrates, such as platelet concentrates as drug delivery agents, platelet dust and liposomes encapsulating platelet concentrates are also discussed.

ABSTRACT Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate various risk factors thought to be associated with the etiology of bruxism in adults in Turkey. Materials and Methods. 400 adults aged 17-60 years were examined in terms of probable bruxism using the bruxism survey and clinical examination findings. The survey method was used to evaluate the correlation of bruxism with gastroesophageal reflux, gastric ulcer, gastritis, migraine, antidepressant use, cigarette consumption, alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption, and marital status between bruxist and control groups. Results. It was found that gastroesophageal reflux, gastric ulcer, migraine, antidepressant use, caffeine consumption, and cigarette consumption were significantly higher in bruxists (P=.000, P=.004, P=.000, P=.000, P=.000, and P=.008, respectively). No significant difference was observed between bruxist and control groups in terms of the presence of gastritis, alcohol consumption, and marital status (P=.163, P=.221, and P=.913 respectively). While presence of migraine (P=.041) was higher in bruxist females, cigarette and alcohol consumption was higher in bruxist males (P=.000 and P=.001 respectively). Conclusions. In conclusion, it was determined that medical disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux, gastric ulcer, and migraine as well as antidepressant use and cigarette consumption and caffeine consumption were risk factors associated with bruxism. If dentists are aware that these risk factors may cause or exacerbate bruxism, this may be beneficial in preventing damage to the mastication system before it occurs, and in planning treatment correctly.

Objectives: To compare repair bond strength of acrylic and composite resin to different type of artificial teeth with and without thermocycling aging (TMC). Materials and Methods: A total of 192 specimens were prepared using four different types of artificial teeth (n=48) (Group CA-Conventional polymethylmethacrylate, Group IS-Isosite, Group DCL-Double cross-linked acrylic, Group NC-Nanohybrid composite). All specimens were aged with thermocycling (TMC; 5000 cycles, 5◦C/55◦C) and repaired with auto-polymerized acrylic resin or composite resin. Half of the repaired samples were subjected to shear bond strength (SBS) test while the other half were subjected to TMC to simulate the aging of the repair material. Then, artificially aged specimens were also subjected to SBS test. Data were statistically analyzed by three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Paired comparisons were made using one-way ANOVA, and multiple comparisons were made using Tukey HSD test (α=0.05). Results: The bond strength of both non-aged and artificially aged composite resin and non-aged acrylic resin did not differ according to artificial teeth type (p>0.05). However, artificially aged acrylic resin showed higher bond strength for group CA (9.25±2.96) than for group NC (5.01±3.09) (p

Introduction: Conscious sedation in dentistry becoming more popular in Malaysia nowadays. However, the knowledge ,exposure and practice of conscious sedation in dental setting has rarely been explored. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the knowledge awareness and exposure of Malaysian dentists about conscious sedation for dentistry and their association with sociodemographic profile. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire (Qualtrics@ Software) was conducted among Malaysian registered dentists. Questions on sociodemographic profile, knowledge, awareness, exposure and practice on conscious sedation were collected. Chi square test was used to analyse the associated factors for knowledge, exposure and practice. Result: A total of 166 respondents completed the survey, resulting in response rate of 43.1%. Majority agreed that conscious sedation is beneficial in allaying dental anxiety and knows at least 3 types of CS. More than half had been exposed in inhalation sedation (IS) with less than half had CS exposure during undergraduate (UG). However, only a quarter practicing CS in their dental practice. Discussion: Malaysian dentists were familiar with the indications of CS in dentistry which corroborates with other studies. Meanwhile, the exposure to CS during undergraduate study were dependant on the availability and the program structure. Conclusion: Majority of respondents know, but only some are practicing oral and inhalation sedation. Only a few of respondents know about other types of CS. Thus, there is a need for more exposure and training of CS during undergraduate to cater the need of patients with dental anxiety.

After a 5000-cycle thermal cycle was administered to half of the materials, cement bond strengths were measured. \u0000Results:It was found that the material used, the type of cement, the aging treatment, the material*aging treatment, and the material-cement interaction (p","PeriodicalId":10781,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Dental Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42115241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Bone tumors are a distinct entity among which osteoblastoma is a rare variant constituting less than 1% of all bone tumors. The bones most commonly involved include the backbone, sacrum, calvaria, long bones and the small bones of the hand and feet. Osteoblastomas have only 15 % occurrence in the head and neck region with a higher incidence in the mandible. Osteoblastomas are known to have a benign or conventional form and the aggressive form which exhibits locally aggressive behavior and a higher proneness for recurrence. We have reported the journey of two rare cases of aggressive osteoblastoma in the mandible. The treatment was planned considering the aggressiveness of the lesion and the reconstruction was carried out with free fibula graft to maintain the aesthetics, function, and to achieve a good quality of life for the patients.
