Introduction: HIV-positive children are susceptible to various infections, and they are often placed on long-term medications to control and/or prevent these infections. It is possible that the ingestion of these medications by the children could result in some form of dental conditions, like dental caries that possibly results from the intake of sugar-containing medications and poor oral hygiene, and or molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) ensuing from the febrile conditions, ingestion of certain medications and/or other chemicals at the time the dentition is developing. Case Series: Two cases of HIV-positive children have been described in this paper, both of which suffered from severe dental caries and MIH. The treatment included extractions and extensive dental restorative procedures to improve their masticatory function and aesthetics. Conclusion: HIV-positive children may be at a greater risk of developing dental caries and MIH.

Aims To examine whether an audit and feedback system administered to groups of dental nurses could improve their awareness of dental sealant quality. Methods: A randomized cluster trial was performed among 45 dental nurses in 12 hospitals (6 control and 6 intervention hospitals). The dental nurses' baseline awareness about sealant effectiveness was ascertained by self-administered questionnaires. Dental nurses applied dental sealant to 1703 children 4121 teeth as their routine works. All sealed children were examined for sealant retention and caries. The audit and feedback system consisted of an examination of sealed teeth followed by confidential feedback of the data collected to the dental nurses who had applied the sealant. Logistic regression was used to estimate the influence of baseline awareness on sealant effectiveness. After the audit and feedback, focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted in the intervention hospitals to establish the dental nurses' awareness about service quality, and thematic content analysis was performed. Results: Forty percent of the dental nurses had low awareness about the effectiveness of sealant application. The rate of complete sealant retention and the rates of caries on sealed surfaces were poor at 41.2% and 4.2%, respectively. The dental nurses' baseline awareness had significant effect on sealant effectiveness. The results from the FGDs showed an improvement in the subjects' awareness of dental service quality. Conclusion: The intensive audit and feedback system was able to improve the dental nurses' awareness of dental service quality.

Introduction: Non-surgical treatment with calcium hydroxide offers a high success rate in the healing of large periapical lesions. Case Series: We present the healing of large periapical lesions with conservative, non-surgical treatment in three young patients presenting large periapical lesions and diagnosed with chronic periapical periodontitis. Non-surgical endodontic treatment was carried out involving canal preparation, irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite, filling of the canal with 75% calcium hydroxide and 25% Kri-1 iodoform paste mixed with sterile saline solution, and sealing of the cavity with composite. The filling was replaced several times, after which endodontic treatment was finally carried out. Complete apical healing was observed in all cases. Conclusion: Non-surgical treatment as a first option allows us to avoid the trauma of surgery in young individuals.

Aims: Ectopic eruption is a change in the normal path of eruption of a tooth. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of ectopic eruption of the permanent maxillary first molars in a Spanish subpopulation of 505 children, its distribution as regards age and gender, unilateral and bilateral occurrence and loss of space. Methods: Periapical and panoramic X-rays were taken of the patients, with six-monthly check-ups to evaluate development. A statistical analysis of the data was performed using the chi-square test (p lessthan 0.05, 95% C.I). Results: A prevalence of 6.7% was obtained being the most common age of presentation was seven years and bilateral occurrence (67.6% of cases) with no statistically significant differences as regards to the gender. Only 14 of the 505 explored patients required treatment for ectopic eruption. Conclusion: This study provides information regarding treatment needs and prevalence regarding molar ectopic eruption in a Spanish population. It is essential for professionals to be familiar with the diagnostic factors, clinical consequences and therapeutic options for ectopic eruption of permanent molars.

Introduction: The aim is to describe the treatment of three immature permanent incisors associated to apical periodontitis, based on the placement of an apical mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plug for apexification. Case Series: Apexification was carried out by opening the pulp chamber, with debridement of the canal following anesthesia and isolation of the tooth. The canal was filled with pure calcium hydroxide in powder form, dissolved in saline solution for one week, and the aperture was sealed with IRM (Dentsply, Germany). One week later, the calcium hydroxide was removed and an MTA apical plug was positioned, sealing with a humid cotton pellet and IRM (Dentsply, Germany). After setting of the MTA, conventional endodontic treatment was carried out using gutta-percha, with definitive restoration of the tooth. Conclusion: All three cases, treated with MTA showed complete apical repair with rounding of the apex at radiographic control one year later, and the patients remained free of symptoms.

Introduction: Implant Dentistry was created to show reliable treatment approaches for restoring the oral cavity’s esthetic and function. However, while dental implants have a high long-term success rate, dental implants are exposed to mechanical or biological complications. Objective: The therapeutic approaches will be addressed in this review, which is the main objective of this study. Materials and Methods: Data sources: The PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases were used to conduct the literature search from June to September 2021. Study selection: Non-surgical and surgical peri-implantitis treatment modalities are the main themes of this study. Result: Implant dentistry was created to show reliable treatment approaches for restoring the oral cavity’s esthetic and function. However, while dental implants have a high long-term success rate, dental implants are exposed to mechanical or biological complications. Conclusion: Peri-implantitis appears to be a multifactorial disease including the patient’s host/microbe response, implant characteristics, soft tissue and the hard conditions surrounding the implant, and the dentist’s surgical and prosthetic part experience. Different treatment modalities are present today, all are used to treat peri-implantitis, such as surgery, laser therapy, and innovative treatments such as cold atmospheric pressure air plasma jet (CAPAJ), enamel matrix derivative, and PRF gel.
简介:种植牙科是为了展示可靠的治疗方法来恢复口腔的美观和功能而创建的。然而，虽然种植体具有很高的长期成功率，但种植体暴露于机械或生物并发症。目的:本文将讨论治疗方法，这是本研究的主要目的。资料与方法:数据来源:使用PubMed/MEDLINE、SCOPUS和Web of Science数据库进行文献检索，检索时间为2021年6月至9月。研究选择:非手术和手术治疗种植体周围炎的方式是本研究的主题。结果:种植牙医学为恢复口腔美观和功能提供了可靠的治疗方法。然而，虽然种植体具有很高的长期成功率，但种植体暴露于机械或生物并发症。结论:种植体周围炎是一种多因素疾病，包括患者的宿主/微生物反应、种植体特性、种植体周围的软组织和坚硬条件以及牙医的手术和假体部分经验。目前有不同的治疗方式，都用于治疗种植体周围炎，如手术、激光治疗和创新治疗，如冷大气压空气等离子体喷射(CAPAJ)、牙釉质基质衍生物和PRF凝胶。
