Abstract Nowadays, patients require the highest quality of treatment, but generally prefer to spend as little time as possible in the dental chair. Therefore, there is significant benefit for using new technologies such as CAD/CAM (computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing), which provides both quality and speed. There is an increase in ceramic materials and ceramic blocks/discs available, with varying properties. This has resulted in some confusion and difficulty in making an informed decision about which material is best for a specific clinical situation. The objective of this review is to provide an overview and comparison of basic mechanical properties of currently used CAD/CAM ceramic materials based on a review of the currently available literature.

Abstract Periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus have been said to have a two-way relationship, with diabetes leading to oral disease and periodontitis exacerbating hyperglycemia. The universal biologic mechanisms and demographic and behavioral risk drivers, underlying these associations in both directions, are also described. Both the diseases are chronic and they are affecting large population worldwide. Periodontitis is also recognized as the sixth major complication of diabetes, while diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder which has an impact on the global health and plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. The aim of this article is to illustrate a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the literature, on the mutual relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontal diseases, trying to identify if the prevalence of periodontitis is higher in diabetics or if the incidence of diabetes is greater in patients with periodontal disease. Moreover, our intention is to increase the level of awareness of diabetologists and dentists about the interaction between this two pathologies. Oral and periodontal health should be promoted as integral components of diabetes management. Dental professionals can detect unrecognized potential dysglycemia and refer for medical examination. Furthermore, the control of periodontal disease may enhance glycemic control which contributes to a better control of periodontal disease.

Abstract Introduction: Dental fear and anxiety are an important issue affecting children’s oral health and clinical management, and also an insufficiently studied subject in dentistry. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to better understand the child patient - dentist versus dentist - child patient relationship and study the dental fear and anxiety of children in order to improve the dental office practice. Material and methods: In this study a personalized questionnaire was created and applied on a number of 333 children, in 4 schools from Mures county, Romania, on girls and boys between the ages of 8 and 13. The questionnaires used emoticons alongside words in order to better determine the state of anxiety created by the dental appointment and everything that it entails. All data and results obtained were analyzed using Excel and Graph Pad Prism 5.0 software. Results: Out of 333 patients, 133 subjects (40%) were 8-10-year-old, 143 subjects (42.9%) 11 - 13 years and 57 subjects (17.1%) were over 14 years. 175 girls (52.6%) and 158 boys (47.4%) demonstrated their courage and desire in participating in our study. It was determined that fear of dental appointments was caused in children over 14 years of age. The state of relaxation is generally enjoyed by urban children (45%) and those aged 11-13 years (37.1%); the percentage of boys in this category is an interesting aspect (40.5%). Conclusion: Dental anxiety is multifactorial and is far more complex than can be explained by a single contributing factor. The direct involvement of the child from the perspective of maintaining dental health, leads to the elimination of the state of fear and anxiety. Regular visits to the dental office, on the initiative of the child patient itself can reduce the anguish.
摘要导读:牙科恐惧和焦虑是影响儿童口腔健康和临床管理的重要问题，也是目前口腔医学研究不足的课题。研究目的:本研究旨在了解儿童病人与牙医、牙医与儿童病人的关系，并研究儿童对牙科的恐惧和焦虑，以改善牙科诊所的做法。材料和方法:在这项研究中，我们制作了一份个性化的问卷，并对罗马尼亚Mures县4所学校的333名8至13岁的男孩和女孩进行了调查。问卷中除了文字外还使用了表情符号，以便更好地确定牙医预约及其相关事宜所造成的焦虑状态。使用Excel和Graph Pad Prism 5.0软件对所得数据和结果进行分析。结果:333例患者中，8 ~ 10岁133例(占40%)，11 ~ 13岁143例(占42.9%)，14岁以上57例(占17.1%)。175名女生(52.6%)和158名男生(47.4%)表现出参与我们研究的勇气和愿望。结果表明，14岁以上的儿童害怕看牙医。城市儿童(45%)和11-13岁儿童(37.1%)普遍享受放松状态;男孩在这一类别中的比例是一个有趣的方面(40.5%)。结论:牙齿焦虑是多因素的，远不是单一因素所能解释的。儿童的直接参与从维护牙齿健康的角度来看，导致消除恐惧和焦虑的状态。定期到牙科诊所就诊，儿童患者自己主动就可以减少痛苦。

Abstract Introduction. Dental aesthetics, although it seems something relative and difficult to evaluate, it is governed by a series of laws and rules that connect the dental disciplines, creating a unitary whole. It is structured by rules, perfected by artistic sense and by the inclination towards beauty of all specialists in dento-facial cosmetics. The aim of the study is to highlight an overview of aesthetic factors to consider when restoring anterior teeth with direct composite materials. Material and methods. A total of 25 patients were included in the study where the anterior teeth were restored using Gradia Direct Anterior (from GC) and Filtek Z550 (from3M-ESPE) composite kits, in perfect isolation using rubber damn, with a separate appointment after 24 hours for the polishing step, for which Rainbow Kit Technic and polishing Platina Hi-Gloss (from Prevest) paste were used. While the replacement of the tooth defect, we ensured that the composite increment, which we used should not be more than 2mm in thickness, and light cured for 20 seconds as the producer recommends. In none of all tooth shape modification (elongation in incisal zone) we did not modify the occlusion, by eliminating all premature contacts. All patients included in the study have signed the informed consent and agreed to participate in this research. Results. From a total of 25 patients, we repaired 20 central incisors with the mesial (18 cases) or distal (2 cases) angles fractured, in different accidents, 5 cases with diastema by small shape of the crown or malposition of one of the central incisors. Conclusions. Restoring the incisal angle or the incisal edge and refining a natural and improved smile of the patient is e very frequent dental intervention, especially nowadays when aesthetics plays an important role in the social society.
摘要介绍。牙科美学，虽然看起来是相对的，很难评价，但它是由一系列规律和规则所支配的，这些规律和规则将牙科学科联系起来，形成一个统一的整体。它由规则构成，由艺术感和所有牙齿面部化妆品专家对美的倾向而完善。本研究的目的是强调了当使用直接复合材料修复前牙时需要考虑的美学因素的概述。材料和方法。本研究共纳入25例患者，使用Gradia Direct anterior(来自GC)和Filtek Z550(来自3m - espe)复合试剂盒修复前牙，使用橡胶垫进行完美隔离，24小时后单独预约抛光步骤，使用Rainbow Kit Technic和polishing Platina high - gloss(来自Prevest)膏体。在更换牙齿缺陷的同时，我们保证我们使用的复合增量厚度不超过2mm，并按照生产商的建议光固化20秒。在所有的牙齿形状修改(延长在切区)，我们没有修改咬合，通过消除所有过早接触。所有纳入研究的患者均已签署知情同意书，同意参与本研究。结果。在25例患者中，我们修复了20例中切牙，其中近端(18例)或远端(2例)角骨折，不同事故，5例中切牙因冠形状小或其中一个中切牙位置不正确而出现裂口。结论。修复患者的内眦棱角或内眦棱角，使患者的笑容更加自然、优美，是牙科治疗中非常常见的方法，尤其是在审美在社会中占有重要地位的今天。

Abstract Objective: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the disintegration of the contact point system, the occlusal changes, and the masticatory force following the loss of the first permanent molars (FPM). Material and methods: Clinical examinations were performed among 8-18-year-olds following the changes in the contact points and their effects on the dento-maxillary apparatus. The sample comprises 422 individuals, 220 girls and 202 boys. The occlusal masticatory force was measured using the T-Scan in the case of the opening of contact points. For the statistical data analysis, was used correlation and Chi Square Test in the GraphPad InStat program. Results: A very weak reverse dependence was found between the size of the edentulous space and the deflection of the upper and lower interincisal lines (r=-0.02) and between the age and size of the edentulous space (r=-0.05). There is a statistically significant chance of mandibular lateral deviation by dental migration following edentulism (p=0.043). In the case of the opening of contact points, there are 1.42 times higher risks of modified sagital relationship in the molar segment (p=0.016) and 2.7 times greater risks of the tipping of the neighbouring teeth (p=0.021). Following the evaluation of the T-Scan measurements, we found in each case a significant decrease in the masticatory force in the edentulous area and the opening of the interproximal contact points. Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, we can state that the opening of contact points decisively influences the stability of the occlusion and the size of the masticatory force.

Abstract Children`s dental anxiety is responsible for increasing dental health problems, as patients avoid seeking treatment. The aim of our study was to evaluate the level of dental anxiety and its correlation with dental health status in a group of children aged between 6-9 years. Material and Methods. Our study included 56 children: first, they completed a questionnaire and then the decay-missing-filled teeth index was measured (DMFT). Results. From a total of 59 children, 29 children had dental anxiety (51.78%) and the prevalence of caries was 69%. The mean and SD for the DMFT index was 1.76+/- 1.54 (2.04 +/- 1.98 for boys and 1.69 +/- 1.72 for girls, with p= 0.0391, p<0.05). In conclusion, the level of dental anxiety can be reduced by frequent visits to the dental office. A favorable personal experience might help children increasing their confidence for dental treatment. There was a significant negative association between the value of filled teeth and the level of child's anxiety.

Abstract Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) affect the temporomandibular joints, the masticatory muscles, and surrounding tissues. Among symptoms such as jumps, joint noises, reduced mouth opening (closed lock), difficulties in closing the mouth (subluxation or open lock), pain is the most common symptom encountered among patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders. As literature on this topic is abundant and sometimes controversial, the authors focus on reviewing the state of art of occlusal splints indications. Therefore, the most common occlusal splints, like Lucia jig, nociceptive trigeminal inhibition (NTI), directive splints, etc., are being described, based on their design and therapeutic indications. Cases of malocclusions associated or not with parafunctions are usually manageable using the splints mentioned in this article. In case of disc displacements, occlusal appliances can be used, but as the etiology is multifactorial, there are some limitations, depending on the complexity of each clinical situation.

Abstract Introduction: X-ray radio imaging is commonly used because most diseases in the oral area can only be diagnosed by using this method. Proper identification of elements on a radiological image may also be difficult due to errors that may occur before, during or after the X-ray. These errors are called artifacts. Aim of the study: The aim of our study is to distinguish the artifacts that can occur on two-dimensional and three-dimensional dental X-rays (intraoral or extraoral) from the actual pathology of the investigated area, by performing control X-rays. Material and Methods: In our study we viewed, assessed and compared a number of 80 retroalveolar X-rays, 45 orthopantomographs (OPG) and 35 Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT). In case of artifacts or errors, X-rays were repeated within 5 days or a CBCT was performed. In the case of OPGs, another option was to perform retroalveolar X-rays to establish the final diagnosis. Results: From a total of 80 retroalveolar X-rays, in 13 cases (16.25%) we found artifacts. Of these, in only 4 cases (5%) diagnosis and treatment plan were changed following a clinical examination or a CBCT. In the case of OPGs, out of a total of 45 OPGs, 17 (37.7%) presented artifacts, but only in a percentage of 17.7% (8 cases) they affected the diagnosis. Of the 35 CBCTs, in 10 of them (28.57%) prosthetic works with a metal component or implants were present, with specific artifacts found, but their presence did not influence the diagnosis. Conclusion: It is necessary for doctors to know the anatomy of the oral region, the most fervent appearance of the components and the different types of artifacts that may occur. Control X-ray is a very commonly used possibility, but there are cases where radiation exposure needs to be minimized.
