Aims: To determine pattern of demand, reasons for root canal treatment (RCT) and survey routine practices of RCT in Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja (LASUTH). Methods: A retrospective review of hospital records of patients who had done RCT in Endodontic Unit of Restorative clinic of LASUTH, Lagos State, Nigeria from January 2016 to December 2019. Information on age, gender, ethnicity, tooth treated, indications for treated tooth, obturation techniques, obturation materials, irrigants and intramedicaments used were obtained. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 23. Results: A total of 231 patients’ records were retrieved. 220 records had complete data, of which 100 (45.4%) males and 120 (54.5%) females. Age range was 18–86 years while mean age was 38.6 ± 1.47. Highest incidence of RCT (24.1%) was found in 30–39 years age group. Commonest indication for RCT was apical periodontitis 145 (58.9%). Total number of teeth treated was 246. Upper central incisors were 56 (22.8%) which were treated most endodontically. More maxillary 176 (71.5%) teeth underwent RCT than 70 (28.5%) mandibular teeth. Step-back technique 226 (92.3%) was the commonest used. Irrigants frequently used were sodium hypochlorite alternating with normal saline 246 (100.0%). More of calcium hydroxide 201 (81.7%) was utilized as canal medicaments. Gutta-percha was solely used as obturation material and endoseal as sealant in this study. Conclusion: Most of endodontic practices done in this study used conventional preparations and obturation techniques. There was need for community dental awareness to prevent and treat early carious lesions.

Introduction: With the current need for large bone reconstructions due to very robust losses in skeletal architecture, not only of the maxillary and mandibular regions but also in other regions of the body, this guided bone regeneration has been increasingly used. Case Report: A leukoderma patient at 52 years of age sought the implantology clinic of the Brazilian Dental Association (ABO) to solve his case of tooth loss. The patient presented overly aggressive bone loss in the total maxilla, and, because of this, it was planned to reconstruct the lost area with a synthetic particulate nano-biomaterial (Blue Bone, Curitiba, Brazil), with the help of the platelet aggregate (PRF). For the surgery, 6 grams of this biomaterial were used, in the anterior region of the maxilla, tent screws were placed to stabilize the grafted bilateral and maxillary sinus lifting surgeries were performed in the posterior regions. The entire regenerated area was covered with L-PRF membrane for better stability and healing. An incredibly significant gain in bone volume was observed six months after surgery throughout the regenerated region, enabling the placement of dental implants (Systhex, Curitiba, Brazil) and later the placement of the supported prosthesis. Conclusion: The nano graft presented a very favorable result in the gain of bone volume, proving to be an excellent indication for more severe cases of bone loss.

Introduction: The dental implant steadiness has been estimated in clinical trials, but a precise amount is frequently tough in experimental simulations. In such circumstances, the amount of implant stability quotient (ISQ) inside the jawbone is desirable afterward formalin fixation. Aim: This research aims to explore the influence of formalin 10% fixation on the implant stability. Material and Methods: Twelve dental implants (Dentium Co. Ltd, Suwon, Korea) and four fresh natural tibia bones of sheep gained from the slaughter workshop had been utilized in this research, the implants inserted in the bone specimen then fixed in formalin 10%, and the ISQ was calculated employing device named Osstell mentor at day zero, day 10, day 30, day 60, and day 90. Result: Implant stability quotient readings were showed no significant differences among evaluated times. Conclusions: These findings propose that bone fixation in formalin does not disturb the implant stability quotient after fixation in bone.

The World Health Organization announced that the outbreaks of the novel coronavirus have constituted a public health emergency of international concern. The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), originating in Wuhan, China, has become a major public health challenge for not only China but also for countries around the world. As for April 12, 2020, COVID-19 has been recognized in almost all the countries around the globe, with a total of 1,696,588 laboratory-confirmed cases and 105,952 deaths. Inhalation or contact with infected droplets is the main rout of disease transmission and the incubation period ranges from 2 to 14 days. Fever, cough, sore throat, breathlessness, fatigue, malaise are the symptoms of the disease. In most people the disease is mild or asymptomatic but in some (usually the elderly and those with comorbidities) the disease is fatal because of progress to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and multi-organ dysfunction. Urgently infection control measures are necessary to prevent the virus from further spreading and to help control the epidemic situation. One of the characteristics of dental settings is the risk of cross infection can be high between patients and dental practitioners due to the face-to-face communication and the exposure to handling of sharp instruments, saliva, blood, and other body fluids. Staff of dental clinics and hospital plays great roles in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 disease. We strongly recommended all elective and nonessential dental services are immediately must be suspended only emergency treatment should continue with infection control measures during dental practice to block the person-to-person transmission routes in hospitals and dental clinics.

Introduction: Necrotising ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) is a microbial disease characterized by the death and sloughing of gingival tissue. This article presents a classic case with characteristic symptoms of gingival necrosis, punched out ulcerated papillae, pseudomembrane formation and pain. Case Report: The patient was treated with the conventional treatment modalities of antimicrobial treatment, swabbing of the pseudomembrane with H2O2 followed by irrigation at home mouth rinses. A soft toothbrush was advised without any adjunctive toothpaste. Additionally, ozone therapy was done on the 3rd day since the lesion persisted. Each arch was ozonated for five minutes using custom made silicon stents with nozzle in the front to allow the ozone generator to pass through. With adjunctive ozone therapy lesions had started to resolve by the 5th day and the patient was also relieved of all associated symptoms. Conclusion: Elimination of the bacteria is a very important part of treatment of NUG. Treponema, bacteroides intermedius and fusobacterium species are the principle bacteria involved in the disease. These bacteria are essentially anaerobic. Ozone therapy creates an aerobic environment for these bacteria inhibiting their growth and disrupting the integrity of the bacterial cell wall by oxidation and inactivating the existing bacteria. Ozone therapy does not damage the other surrounding healthy cells. These healthy cells have a coating of enzymes like catalase, glutathione perioxidase, reductase and superoxide dimutase which prevents the oxygen radical from penetrating them. Hence using ozone as an adjunctive therapy helps accelerate healing and treat the basic etiology in a very targeted manner.

Aims: To find the correlation between arbitrary surface intercondylar distance on one hand and freeway space, rest vertical dimension, occlusal vertical dimension on the other hand. Methods: A cross sectional study of randomly selected individuals between 18–56 years old, in a tertiary hospital in Ikeja from September- October 2017. Participants were examined and measurements, arbitrary surface intercondylar distance, rest vertical dimension,and occlusal vertical dimension were taken. Data collected were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS version 20. Level of significance was set at p≤0.05. Results: Of the 48 participants involved in this study, 50% were males. Majority (47.9%) were between 26–35 years old with a mean age of 31 years. Participants in age group 18–25 years and ≥36 years had similar freeway space (FWS) which were 3.43±1.01 mm and 3.45±0.82 mm respectively while 26–35 years old had 3.13±0.87 mm. Mean FWS was 3.29 mm. There was no significant statistical difference in FWS based on gender and age. Spearmans correlation coefficient (R2) analysis revealed a positive correlation of intercondylar distance with freeway space, rest vertical dimension and occlusal vertical dimension. Regression equations were formulated and utilized to calculate concerned parameters. Conclusion: There is correlation between inter condylar distance on one hand and freeway space, rest vertical dimension and occlusal vertical dimension on the other hand. Therefore a regression equation becomes a simple and rapid method of calculating each parameter.

Aims: Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent and can affect up to 90% of the worldwide population. Gingivitis is reported to be the most abundant in the adult population all over the world. However, periodontitis also affects approximately 10 to 15% in adult populations of the world. Methods: This study was conducted at University of Rwanda-College of Medicine and Health Sciences Polyclinic-Dental Clinic. A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out. Patients’ records of new cases who attended the University of Rwanda-College of Medicine and Health Sciences Polyclinic-Dental Clinic in 2017 were recruited in this study; data were coded and entered into IBM SPSS Version 21. Chi square test was used to check for associations. The significance level was put at a P-value ≤0.05% with 95% Confidence Interval. Results:The prevalence of periodontal diseases among the participants who attended the University of Rwanda-College of Medicine and Health Sciences Polyclinic-Dental Clinic was found to be 41.6%. There was an increase inperiodontal disease with age alongwith significant association between periodontal diseases and gender. However, there was no significant association between periodontal diseases with geographical locations. Conclusion: The prevalence of periodontal diseases among the patients who attended the University of Rwanda-College of Medicine and Health Sciences Polyclinic was high. There was a correlation in the prevalence of periodontal diseases in East Africa and worldwide. We recommend that the government, through dental associations, should organize and conduct community outreaches to different areas that are not accessing dental services and provide oral health education and other preventive care.
目的:牙周病非常普遍，可影响全球90%的人口。据报道，牙龈炎是全世界成年人中最常见的疾病。然而，牙周炎也影响着世界上大约10%到15%的成年人。方法:本研究在卢旺达大学医学与健康科学学院综合诊所-牙科诊所进行。进行回顾性横断面研究。本研究招募了2017年在卢旺达大学医学与健康科学学院综合诊所-牙科诊所就诊的新病例患者记录;对数据进行编码并输入IBM SPSS Version 21。卡方检验用于检验相关性。p值≤0.05%，置信区间为95%。结果:在卢旺达大学医学和健康科学学院综合诊所-牙科诊所就诊的参与者中，牙周病的患病率为41.6%。牙周病发病率随年龄增长而增加，牙周病发病率与性别有显著相关性。然而，牙周病与地理位置之间没有显著的关联。结论:卢旺达大学医学与健康科学学院综合门诊患者牙周病患病率较高。在东非和世界范围内，牙周病的患病率存在相关性。我们建议政府通过牙科协会组织和开展社区外展活动，到无法获得牙科服务的不同地区，提供口腔健康教育和其他预防保健。

Introduction: Management of dental trauma in pediatric patients requires not only immediate intervention but also long-term follow-up regimen. Especially, avulsion of permanent teeth is the most serious injuries of the tooth, and replantation of teeth must be carried out immediately for good prognosis. Case Report: This article describes the treatment of four anterior maxillary permanent incisors of an 11-year-old boy with history of traumatic avulsion and delayed replantation. The avulsed teeth were kept in unclean and dry conditions for 5 h. The root canal treatment was carried out with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). After treatment, the patient was referred to the orthodontic department and two of replanted teeth were extracted orthodontically. The remained replanted teeth were stable and functional position during the four-year follow-up. However, one of teeth showed an excessive root resorption on the last radiographic examination.Conclusion: Although the risk of progressive root resorption and ankloysis is high, delayed replantation of avulsed teeth can be a best choice to avoid early tooth loss. To prevent the complications of delayed replantation, MTA might be used for root canal treatment. Thus, the level of alveolar bone can be preserved till the growth is completed.

Aims: Racial dimorphism refers to those differences in size, stature and appearance between two races among females and males which can be utilized to aid in identification based on dental records. Racial determination forms one of the important aspects of forensic odontology. The study evaluated the permanent teeth to assess and compare the mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions of permanent teeth in the North Indian and North-East Indian populations. Methods: The study sample comprised of 100 subjects (50 males and 50 females). One group comprised individuals from North India, whereas, second group included individuals with ethnic origin in North-East India. Using the digital calliper, the mesiodistal and buccolingual diameters of each permanent tooth were determined. Measurements were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Using statistical program SPSS 19.0 for Windows descriptive statistics were calculated for each group independently, means were compared by sex of the mesiodistal and bucolingual dimensions of the pieces analyzed so intragrupal (Group of north Indian individuals and groups of northeast Indian individuals),significance in the mean differences were analyzed by unpaired t test for independent samples with p lessthan 0.01 and p lessthan 0.05. Results: Most of the permanent teeth examined had larger dimensions both mesiodistally and buccolingually in North-East Indians with the exception of maxillary central incisor, maxillary first premolar and maxillary second molar. In general, the group of North-East Indians showed higher racial dimorphism compared to the North Indian group. Conclusion: The study showed that there is a strong race-specific behavior in dimorphic dimensions of the teeth in both the populations.
