Orbital floor fracture reconstruction is considered crucial in restoring the orbital volume and avoiding complications such as diplopia and enophthalmos. Traditionally, transcutaneous or transconjunctival approaches have been implemented to access the orbital floor fractures. However, these approaches suffered the drawbacks of possible visible scars, ectropion or entropion. Recently, the transantral approach has been revisited to access and reconstruct orbital floor fractures with adequate success. This is a retrospective study where transconjunctival and transantral approaches are compared in terms of complications and orbital volume correction after using customized titanium implants for orbital floor reconstruction. Ten patients were included in the transconjunctival group while eight were included in the transantral group. The mean volume of the reconstructed orbits in the transconjunctival group was 2.2% smaller than that of the contralateral intact orbits compared to 0.6% smaller volumes for the reconstructed orbits vs the intact orbits in the transantral group. It can be concluded that the transantral approach is a valid alternative to the transconjunctival approach for orbital floor reconstruction yet with fewer complications.

Aim: The current randomized clinical trial (RCT) evaluated normal saline solution (NSS), hyaluronic acid (HA), and manuka honey (MH) for multiple extraction sockets under general anesthesia (GA) of primary teeth in order to assess the effects of various dressings on blood clot formation and soft tissue healing. Material and methods: In the present RCT, 63 patients aged two to seven were involved. Under GA, several primary teeth were removed from each participant. Three groups of volunteers (n = 21 each) were randomly assigned to the study. Following tooth extraction, the group 1 primary investigator moistened a piece of gauze with NSS and placed it over the socket, covering it with one millimeter of MH. Rather than using MH on the gauze, group 2 applied HA. Group 3 had a piece of gauze soaked with NSS put to the socket wound. The parents and the patients were instructed to keep the gauze in place for 45 minutes. Assessments were made on the color of the wound tissue, the presence of pus, and the bleeding upon palpation at baseline, three, and seven days later. Results: When comparing the MH and HA wound dressing groups to the NSS group on the third and seventh days after tooth extraction, the results revealed no differences in the color of the wound tissue, the presence of pus, or the bleeding upon palpation. Conclusions: Wound dressings play a crucial role in mitigating clinical symptoms such bleeding and inflammation, with a noticeable reduction observed after approximately a week.

Aim: Comparing the prevalence and the severity of postoperative pain after usage of two different rotary systems Reciproc in reciprocating motion versus One shape in continuous rotation for instrumentation of root canals among symptomatic irreversible pulpitis patients. Methodology: Fifty four patients, males and females, aged between 25-45 years, with non-contributory medical history, were incorporated into this trial who found eligible. In a single Visit root canal treatment, Vital mandibular premolars with single, straight canals were only chosen and treated with one of the aforementioned instrumentation systems. The eligible Participants were randomly subdivided into two groups (n=27); Reciproc and One Shape. Pain assessment was done using the NRS; Pre-operative pain was recorded, then patients were provided with instructions to report their pain scores at 6,12,24,48 and 72 hours postoperatively as well as the number of analgesics tablets “ Ibuprofen 400 mg” taken on demand up to three days post-treatment. Results: The severity and prevalence of postoperative pain reveal no statistically significant difference at various follow-up periods (6,12,24,48 and 72 hours post-treatment) following single visit root canal treatment in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis between both groups. Likewise, no significant difference was found concerning the number analgesics administered in both groups . Conclusion: The different motions used for root canal instrumentation have the same effect on postoperative pain as well as the number analgesics administered.

Introduction: While the term “polishing” has been employed to refer to the expert elimination of soft deposits and stains from the surfaces of teeth, this encompasses both cleaning and polishing. Objective: To compare invitro the surface roughness and stain Remover Ability of Prophylaxis Paste and Biochar gel for Stained Teeth Based on Cucurbita Moschata. Materials and methods : study was carried out on 10 sound non-carious periodontally involved human premolars teeth after getting the patients’ approval (age of 20-40 years). Teeth were then immersed in black tea for 24 hrs. After staining, all specimens were stored in artificial saliva for 7 days. Then randomization by software divided in to 2 groups: Group 1: Prophylaxis paste, Group 2: Biochar Gel. Specimens were embedded in self-cure acrylic resin and allowed to set to create blocks. Specimen was divided horizontally into three thirds by permanent colour marks. Each sample were subjected to Mitutoyo Surface Roughness Tester pre and post polishing in both groups. Shade Assessment of the three thirds of each sample were assessed before and after polishing per group by VITA Easyshade ® V. Results: In surface roughness, Comparison between prophylaxis paste and Biochar Gel revealed insignificant difference as P was 0.46 and 0.27 regarding pre-and post-polishing respectively. Regarding stain remover ability, comparison between Biochar gel and prophylaxis paste groups regarding post-polishing VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER shade guide and VITA classical shade guide showed no significant difference as P>0.05. Conclusion: Biochar Gel Based on Cucurbita Moschata is considered a promising alternative to prophylactic pastes.
介绍：虽然 "抛光 "一词是指通过专业手段去除牙齿表面的软沉积物和污渍，但它同时包括清洁和抛光。目的比较预防牙膏和生物炭凝胶的表面粗糙度和去污能力。材料和方法：在征得患者（20-40 岁）同意后，对 10 颗无龋牙周病的人类前臼齿进行了研究。然后将牙齿浸泡在红茶中 24 小时。染色后，所有标本在人工唾液中保存 7 天。然后用软件随机分为两组：第 1 组：预防膏，第 2 组：生物炭凝胶。将标本嵌入自固化丙烯酸树脂中，待其凝固后形成块状。用永久性颜色标记将试样水平分成三等分。两组的每个试样在抛光前和抛光后都要接受三丰表面粗糙度测试仪的检测。用 VITA Easyshade ® V 对每组样品的三分之二在抛光前后进行阴影评估：在表面粗糙度方面，预防膏和生物炭凝胶在抛光前和抛光后的 P 值分别为 0.46 和 0.27，差异不明显。在去污能力方面，生物炭凝胶组和预防膏组在抛光后的 VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER 遮光导板和 VITA 经典遮光导板之间的比较没有发现显著差异，P>0.05。结论基于葫芦的生物炭凝胶被认为是一种很有前途的预防性糊剂替代品。

Aim: to assess the clinical and radiographic success rates of direct pulp capping versus pulpotomy using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in the treatment of primary molars. Patients and methods: The current study was planned as a split-mouth randomized clinical trial. The trial included 50 healthy, cooperative children (32 boys [64%] and 18 girls [36%]) aged 4–7 years, with two deep carious lower second primary molars requiring vital pulp therapy. One hundred lower second primary molars were randomly classified into two groups according to the technique used: Group (1): direct pulp capping using MTA and Group 2: pulpotomy using MTA. Then each case was followed clinically and radiologically every 3, 6, and 12 months to detect success and failure rates. The clinical and radiographic outcome criteria were treated as binary data (present or absent) and tested using Mcnemar’s chi-square test. The alpha level of significance was set to 0.05 at 95% CI. Results: Over the follow-up period, no significant statistical difference was found between the two groups (p-value > 0.05). The overall success rates were 100% for both techniques clinically and radiographically after a 12-month follow-up period. Conclusion: In cooperative patients, in well-chosen cases, both direct pulp capping and pulpotomy may be dependable options for treating deeply decayed primary molars.

Introduction : Smoking represents a chief health problem, and it is associated with high rates of fatal destructive events. Smoking is major risk factor for developing several oral mucosal lesions. Furthermore, it can result in epithelial dysplasia and subsequent increase in the risk for the development of oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer. Subjects and methods : The present cross-sectional study included 1000 male participants and they were divided into 2 groups; smokers and non-smokers. All participants were clinically examined together with full-mouth intra-oral photographs were taken for all of them. Results : The prevalence of oral mucosal lesions was higher in the smokers’ group (82%), in which white and pigmented OMLs were found to be the most prevalent forms. Additionally, the prevalence of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) in smokers was higher than in non-smokers. However, it didn’t show a significant difference, On the other hand, the prevalence of oral ulcers in non-smokers was higher than in smokers and this difference was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: White and pigmented OMLs were the most prevalent forms detected among smokers.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether the clinical performance of (Sonicfill 2) and (Fill Up) bulk fill resin composite is comparable according to the modified United State Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. Methods: A total of 40 class II restorations were done following the manufacturer’s instructions, one side of each patient’s mouth received both types of restorations (SonicFill 2) and (Fill Up) in two adjacent posterior teeth. The restorations’ Color match (CM), Marginal adaptation (MA), Marginal discoloration (MD), Anatomic form (AF), and Secondary caries (SC) were evaluated based on Ryge’s criteria (modified USPHS) at baseline (after 1 week), as well as 6 month, 12 months, and after 18 months of follow-up by two calibrated examiners. The statistical analysis utilizing the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests, A p-value below 0.05 was deemed to be statistically significant. Results: There were no significant differences between the two types of bulk fill resin composite at baseline, and after six months, as 100% of both restorations had Alpha (A) score. Following 18-month period, 60% of (Fill Up) rein composite restorations displayed a decline in the (A) score and revealed Bravo (B) score regarding color match and anatomical form criteria, a statistically significant difference was observed between the two restorations (p ≤ 0.05), while in the other assessed criteria, both restorations displayed the (A) score. Conclusion: Within 18 months clinical follow up period, the two tested bulk-fill resin composite restorative materials exhibited satisfactory clinical performance as a direct restoration for class II cavity preparations.

Following 18-month period, 60% of (Fill Up) rein composite restorations displayed a decline in the (A) score and revealed Bravo (B) score regarding color match and anatomical form criteria, a statistically significant difference was observed between the two restorations (p ≤ 0.05), while in the other assessed criteria, both restorations displayed the (A) score. Conclusion: Within 18 months clinical follow up period, the two tested bulk-fill resin composite restorative materials exhibited satisfactory clinical performance as a direct restoration for class II cavity preparations.","PeriodicalId":11504,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian dental journal","volume":"54 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141712656","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}

Objective: This clinical trial study examined the success of clinical utilization of expired titanium dental implants following ultraviolet C light (UVC) photofunctionalization. Patients and Methods: The study included the installation of 25 expired implants in 15 patients. The implants planned for installation were photofunctionalized using UVC (254nm wavelength) for 30 minutes on the day of implantation. All implants were installed following a two-stage protocol. Following implantation, all patients were followed up on the 3 rd , 7 th , and 14 th days, then the 1 st , 3 rd , and 6 th months for signs of infection or implant rejection. Postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was acquired on the 3 rd -day and 6 th -month follow-up visits. Bone density at six areas around and marginal bone level at four sides of the implant were measured using CBCT scans of the two radiographic follow-up events. The postoperative and 6th-month CBCT measurements were statistically compared for significant differences. Results
