Introduction: Fluoride varnish is quickly and easily applied without the need for bulky mouth trays or suctioning of saliva. This is especially helpful for infants and toddlers. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of three different fluoride varnishes (Durashield, Flour Protector and Bifluoride 10) on streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus count (in vitro study). Materials and methods : Total of 144 acrylic discs were divided into two main equal groups of 72 discs in each (group A: for examination of Streptococcus mutans and group B: for examination of Lactobacillus ); each group was further subdivided into four equal subgroups based on the type of varnish applied to the disc surface (A1, B1: Durashield; A2, B2: Fl protector; A3, B3: Biflouride; A4, B4: untreated discs served as control). Saliva collected from single volunteer was poured into tubes until the discs were completely immersed and incubated for 24h, 48h and 5 days. Six discs from each subgroup were taken out from tubes every time and sonicated in saline. Suspensions were been plated on selective media for Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus . The numbers of colony-forming units (CFU/mL) on suitably diluted plates were been determined. Results : For all tested subgroups, the lowest amount bacterial count of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus was observed during the first 24 h, followed by a significant increase over the following 4 days. Biflouride subgroups had the lowest values of viable Streptocoocusmutans and Lactobacillus counts during all test periods. In comparison Durashield with Flour protector subgroup difference of viable counts of streptocoocusmutans and lactobacillus was observed but statistically non-significant. Conclusions : Biflouridevarnish exhibited the greatest antibacterial effect ( Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus ) compared to Durashield and flour protector. Fluor protector varnish showed the same inhibitory effect of Durashildvarnish despite Flour protector had lower fluoride concentration than Durashield.

Introduction: Piezoelectric surgery is an osteotomy technique that can help to minimize tissue trauma and its complications. It is a safe technique since it only works on the mineralized tissues, leaving the surrounding tissues’ perfusion and innervation unaffected. It reduces tissue thermal damage and prevents osteonecrosis. Aim: The aim of study was to evaluate the effect of using Piezosurgery on pain, swelling, and trismus after surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molar. Patients and methods: This study was conducted on healthy patients classified as ASA class I patients. Fifteen patients with bilateral, symmetrical, mandibular impacted third molars that needed surgical extraction were selected and divided randomly into two equal groups 15 teeth for each group. The same patient is considered as control and study group. Group A: Underwent surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molar with a conventional rotary device. Group B: Underwent surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molar with piezoelectric device. Pain, edema, and trismus were evaluated after 2 and 7 days postoperatively, and the total number of analgesic tablets taken by the patient till day 7 was counted. Results: The results showed there was significantly less pain, edema, and trismus with piezosurgery compared to rotary instruments after 2 days and 7 days postoperatively. The total number of analgesics taken by the patients was significantly less with piezosurgery compared to conventional group. Conclusion: The use of piezoelectric surgery for bone removal during the extraction of impacted mandibular third molar reduces postoperative pain, edema, and trismus.

Introduction : Glass ionomer cement (GIC) has numerous advantages over other restorative materials. In particular, self-adhesion to tooth structure in addition to its fluoride release that makes it suitable for treatment of majority of high caries risk cases. However, clinical usage of GIC is still limited due to their sensitivity to initial desiccation, low resistance to abrasion and low esthetic properties explaining why these materials are not widely used for permanent fillings. Materials and Methods: Class II occlusal slot cavities were prepared in the first permanent molar of sixty patients and restored randomly by two restorations, either; EQUIA ® Forte Fil (Glass ionomer with glass hybrid technology) or Zirconomer ® Improved (Zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer). Restorations were evaluated according to FDI criteria in terms of biological properties at baseline, after six months and one year. Results: Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between both materials with 100% success in all restorations in both groups at the base line. At six months follow up time, 92% of the EQUIA ® Forte Fil group and 68% of the Zirconomer ® Improved group were clinically successful. Meanwhile, at 12 months follow up time, 88% of the EQUIA ® Forte Fil group and 48% of the Zirconomer ® Improved group were clinically successful with significant difference between them at both six and 12 months. Conclusions: Glass ionomer with glass hybrid technology exhibited better clinical performance in terms of biological properties than zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer in class II slot cavities after six months and one year. recurrent caries, which affects the restoration’s longevity (1) . The clinical use of resin composite is considered to be technique-sensitive where filling’s layer should not exceed 2 mm in isolated operating field. This is difficult to achieve in non-cooperative patients with high caries risk or when the rubber dam is impossible to install. Furthermore, resin composite is not cariostatic material, and bonding to dentin can be unpredictable with a significant variation in the bonding efficiency (2) .

Introduction: White spot lesions (WSLs) are early signs of enamel demineralization, which may or may not lead to the development of caries, this indicates that there is a mineral loss of subsurface area beneath an intact enamel surface. Aim: This is a vitro study evaluated the effect of three treatment modalities for white spot enamel lesion namely; resin infiltration, remineralization and micro-abrasion on enamel surface roughness and micro-hardness. Materials and methods: Artificial white spot lesions were produced in enamel surface from a sixty intact extracted human permanent premolars were selected for the study. The selected teeth were divided into three groups according to methods of treatment of white spot lesion (20 teeth each); resin infiltration, micro-abrasion and remineralization. For both surface roughness and micro-hardness tests, the assessment was done three times; prior to WSLs productions (baseline) after WSLs production (pretreatment phase) and after treatment (post treatment phase). The different between base line and post treatment phase values will be calculated and represented as the change occurring (value). Statistical analysis was done using one way Anova. Results: The results of the current study showed that after treatment of WSLs the surface roughness improved significantly in all tested groups but there was no statistically significant difference between all treated groups. Also, the results of the current study showed that after treatment of the WSLs the microhardness increased in all groups but there was statistically significant difference between Icon ® treated group compared to both Opalustre ® and Tooth Mousse ® treated groups. Conculsions: The three tested modalities for the treatment of white spot lesions could improve the surface roughness and the micro-hardness of the treated enamel but the Opalustre ® and Tooth Mousse™ were equally effective in improving the microhardness ® and more effective than Icon. demineralization, which may or may not lead to the development of caries, this indicates that there is a mineral loss of subsurface area beneath an intact enamel surface.

Introduction: The use of fluoride for caries prevention has been known for many decades, as it has the ability to incorporate into the crystalline lattice of dental hard tissues, resulting in a tissue less soluble in acidic environment. Other alternatives for preventing dental caries are metal ions; Nano Silver Fluoride (NSF). The laser–fluoridation combination was introduced as a technique that combines the application of fluoride varnish along and laser. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of diode laser when irradiated at diffirent powers and when used either before or after fluoride varnish application on the longevity of fluoride release using ion selective electrode, from three different fluoride varnishes (in vitro study): Enamel pro varnish, Clinpro XT varnish and Nano Silver Fluoride. Material and Methods: 72 samples were collected, and then divided into 3 groups: Group I: Enamel pro, Group II: Clinpro XT and GroupIII: Nano Silver Fluoride (NSF). Each group was subdivided according to diode laser application into 3 subgroups, then samples were placed individually in a test tube containing artificial saliva. Fluoride release was measured by ion selective electrode for fluoride. Results: Clinpro XT had the highest amount of fluoride release followed by Enamel pro. Meanwhile, NSF didn`t release a significant amount of fluoride. There was a statistically significant difference in fluoride release when diode laser was irradiated at 5 Watt, after Enamel pro and Clinpro XT application. However, no significant effect for diode laser irradiation on NSF was found when used either before or after NSF treatment. Conclusion: Enamel pro and Clinpro XT can be used efficiently as fluoride varnishes. Diode laser irradiation at 5 Watt after fluoride varnish application has a profound effect on fluoride release.

Other alternatives for preventing dental caries are metal ions; Nano Silver Fluoride (NSF). The laser–fluoridation combination was introduced as a technique that combines the application of fluoride varnish along and laser. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of diode laser when irradiated at diffirent powers and when used either before or after fluoride varnish application on the longevity of fluoride release using ion selective electrode, from three different fluoride varnishes (in vitro study): Enamel pro varnish, Clinpro XT varnish and Nano Silver Fluoride. Material and Methods: 72 samples were collected, and then divided into 3 groups: Group I: Enamel pro, Group II: Clinpro XT and GroupIII: Nano Silver Fluoride (NSF). Each group was subdivided according to diode laser application into 3 subgroups, then samples were placed individually in a test tube containing artificial saliva. Fluoride release was measured by ion selective electrode for fluoride. Results: Clinpro XT had the highest amount of fluoride release followed by Enamel pro. Meanwhile, NSF didn`t release a significant amount of fluoride. There was a statistically significant difference in fluoride release when diode laser was irradiated at 5 Watt, after Enamel pro and Clinpro XT application. However, no significant effect for diode laser irradiation on NSF was found when used either before or after NSF treatment. Conclusion: Enamel pro and Clinpro XT can be used efficiently as fluoride varnishes. Diode laser irradiation at 5 Watt after fluoride varnish application has a profound effect on fluoride release.","PeriodicalId":11270,"journal":{"name":"Dental Science Updates","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81904887","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}

Introduction: The maxillary sinus both affects and is affected by orthodontic treatment thus knowledge about it is of great value. With the emergence of Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) studying the maxillary sinus became more accurate. Aim: to find out if there is a correlation between the maxillary sinus volume and facial pattern in adults using cone beam computed tomography. Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 36 adults were obtained. They were divided equally into three groups: Normal facial pattern, hyper-divergent facial pattern and hypo-divergent facial pattern. The volume of the maxillary sinus on both the right and left sides were measured in each group using OnDemand3D software program. Results: The results of this study were that there is no significance difference between the maxillary sinus volume in the different groups of facial pattern. There is no significance between the volume of the maxillary sinus on the right and left side. Conclusions: There is no correlation between the maxillary sinus volume and the vertical growth pattern. The right and left maxillary sinus are corresponding to each other in volume. INTRODUCTION Evaluation of the maxillary sinus during orthodontic diagnosis is crucial since it may affect the orthodontist’s treatment plan. Precautions should be taken so that the line of treatment chosen not encroach on the integrity of the maxillary sinus(1). Orthodontic treatment plan is affected by the size and position of the maxillary sinus. Likewise, the maxillary sinus may be affected by different malocclusions either dental or skeletal, anteroposterior or vertical in terms of size and position(2,3). With the emergence of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and its advantages in the world of radiography appreciated, orthodontists are using it more and more frequently. Studying the maxillary sinus becomes more accurate and with a 3D approach and the volume of the sinus could be evaluated(4). Several researches were made to pinpoint whether there is a relation between maxillary sinus volume and malocclusion. Some studies show that there was a correlation between the maxillary sinus volume and vertical malocclusion however there were other studies that contradicted that findings(5-8).

Dental injuries usually affect one or two of the anterior teeth, and especially the maxillary central incisors. The aim of the experimental study was to radiographically evaluate the effect of both Emdogain with and without high power Diode laser irradiation Emdogain with and without high power Diode laser irradiation on replanted teeth of rats teeth of rats after extended extra oral dry time. Material and methods: The study was conducted on extracted maxillary incisors of 42 adult male Albino rats weighing 160–250 g. The rats were assigned to three groups 14 rats in each, then replanted after 75 minutes as follow ; Group I (Control group) no treatment for the root surface was performed on the extracted upper right central incisors and alveolar wound before their replantation. Group II (EMD) Emdogain was applied on root surface and alveolar wound. Group III Diode laser then Emdogain were applied on root surface and alveolar wound. Replantation was done then splinting of teeth. Half of each group was euthanized after 4 weeks, while the other half after 8 weeks. The jaws were dissected out for radiographic examination using standardized periapical technique. Results: The radiographic analysis showed that the alveolar crest bone density in group III was the highest and less in the group II, while the least density was in the group I. Conclusion : Application of EMD to the root surface has limited inductive effects on bone while using EMD with Diode laser leads to better PDL healing and formation of bone in comparison to using EMD only or without treatment of root surface.
