In the more than 20 years that cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been available in dentistry, a lot has changed. The image quality has been greatly improved by better detectors and extraction algorithms. Moreover, the grading dose has been reduced by using pulsed beams, the possibility to select smaller fields of view and by the optimization of the reconstruction algorithms [1]. Most modern devices have many setting options, unlike the first generations of devices (Figure 1a and 1b). The field of view can be limited to 4x4cm or similar and the milliamperage, the number of basic projections, the spatial resolution, are all adjustable, so that the image quality and dose can be easily influenced. Something that is also required by the applicable guidelines. The devices have also become a lot more affordable over time. Actual equipment can be used for 2D and/or 3D images.

Objectives: A major league baseball organization (MLBO) noticed significant player-time loss due to severe dental caries and abscesses. The trend was noted most often in Hispanic players. The administration of the MLBO recruited a dentist to come down to perform dental screening examinations in Spring Training to identify dental problems, specifically among the Hispanic players. Methods: Dental screening examinations were performed in the athletic training room by direct clinical visual examination utilizing high intensity light, mouth mirror and tongue depressors. Caries lesions were classified via the International Caries Detection and Assessment System. Teeth classified as Grade 5/6 were recommended for immediate treatment during spring training. Results: Forty-two Hispanic baseball players were examined. Ten percent exhibited no dental caries; ninety percent exhibited dental caries. Twenty-nine percent of players (N=12) examined required immediate dental treatment during spring training; seventy-one percent (N=30) required dental treatment at a later date. Nine of the twelve players requiring treatment during spring training had severe decay that, if left untreated, would result in a loss of valuable playing time. Thus, for the total sample of nine players with severe decay, the MLBO would incur the loss of sixty-three days of player playing-time loss. Seven of the nine players had a total of fifteen teeth requiring immediate treatment, thus reducing the need and cost for advanced dental treatment. Conclusion: Spring training dental screening examinations and expedited treatment can lead to significant cost savings and minimize potential loss of athlete playing time for the major league baseball organization. Clinical Significance: More than ever, today’s society is sports and fitness oriented. Our research involves identifying the oral health needs of athletes. This study is a prime example of the importance of dental screening exams to be included within pre-season physicals. This information can benefit dentists who manage athletes in their practice.

Dry socket or Alveolar Osteitis (AO) is amongst the most common complications following extraction of teeth in dentistry. A great number of research literature is available to alveolar osteitis with reference to its etiology and pathophysiology. Many studies are available for techniques to prevent AO but controversy still exists regarding the actual etiology, pathophysiology, methods of prevention and treatment. Review of the concepts and controversies surrounding AO is an aim of this article.

In these three different cases, synthetic putty graft material has proven to be a reliable alternative to autologous bone for implant placement, directly into the anterior extraction socket of the maxilla. This study presents three different patients who require implants in the anterior maxilla. Immediate implant placement was the treatment solution of choice. Because the aesthetic expectations and the initial screw-in torque are different however, a differentiation between direct loading, a phase 1 or a phase 2 approaches was made. Clinical results show that synthetic putty is an effective alternative to transplantations with xenograft or allogeneic graft materials in single-phase, two-phase, and direct loading.

Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder. Patients with ectodermal dysplasia have ectodermally-derived organs disorders which can affect teeth, nails, hair and sweat glands. Disorders of sweat gland function can be classified into two major groups: hypohidrotic or anhidrotic. Oral findings in patients with ectodermal dysplasia (ED) include markedly reduction in number of teeth (oligodontia or hypodontia), malformed and widely spaced conical-shaped teeth, and underdeveloped alveolar ridges. Other dominant clinical features can be found like very thin hair. The goal of the article is to present the prosthetic management particularities of two patient with hereditary ectodermal dysplasia.

Backgrounds: The patient’s satisfaction is considered as a direct measure to assess the performance of clinicians and the clinics.The present study was, therefore, conducted to evaluate the level of patients’ satisfaction with treatment services provided by undergraduate students at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University. The main purpose of this investigation was to explore opportunities for further improvement in the BDS program as well as undergraduate dental care training at the College. Methods: Patients’ feedback was sought through cross-sectional research wherein a specialized questionnaire was circulated among all undergraduate clinics located at male and female campuses of the college. A total of 3200 survey forms were distributed among patients who were treated in the undergraduate clinics. The supervisors were requested to clarify any questions or ambiguity encountered by their patients in filling in the survey forms. The questionnaire consisted of 19 questions addressing all aspects of the patients’ care. Five-point Likert scale varying from 'strongly agree' to 'strongly disagree' was used to evaluate the feedback. The data were subjected to statistical analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) Results: The 2558 patients participated in the present investigations representing 80% of the total population. The highest level of patient's satisfaction was observed for preparedness, knowledge, and helpfulness of the young doctors by 88.97% of patients (n=2048). Only 9.6% (n=221) and 1.31% (n=33) patients attributed moderate and low levels of satisfaction to this question, respectively. Likewise, 86.78% (n=1963) patients were found highly pleased with the young doctors who explained all procedures before and during their treatment. The percentage of patients with a moderate and minimal level of satisfaction to this attribute was 11.67% (n=264) and 1.55% (n=35), respectively. The lowest satisfaction was observed concerning waiting time, followed by the comfort of the waiting room and knowledge of young dentists about the accurate estimation of expenses incurred in case some material was required wherein 61.44% (n=1388), 63.75% (n=1486) and 77.91% (n=1552) patients associated high satisfaction level, respectively. In fact, these questions proved as areas for further improvement. Conclusions: Results of the present investigations provided benchmark data to map and compare patients’ satisfaction with their treatment in undergraduate dental clinics. Most patients in the present investigations were found satisfied with the quality and standard of care provided to them in the undergraduate clinics. The survey results further reported that most patients had trust in the knowledge, capabilities, and skills of the undergraduate dental students. However, they showed dissatisfaction over waiting time, comfort in the waiting rooms and students’ knowledge about the accurate estimati
背景:患者满意度被认为是评估临床医生和诊所绩效的直接指标。因此，本研究旨在评估患者对沙特国王大学牙科学院本科生提供的治疗服务的满意度。本次调查的主要目的是探索进一步改进BDS计划以及学院本科牙科护理培训的机会。方法:采用横断面调查的方法，在学院男女分校的本科生诊所中分发一份专门的问卷，以寻求患者的反馈。在本科门诊就诊的患者中共发放调查表3200份。主管被要求澄清病人在填写调查表时遇到的任何问题或含糊不清的地方。问卷由19个问题组成，涉及患者护理的各个方面。从“非常同意”到“非常不同意”的五点李克特量表被用来评估反馈。使用statistical Package for Social Sciences软件version 21 (SPSS Inc.， Chicago, IL)对数据进行统计分析。结果:2558例患者参与了本次调查，占总人数的80%。88.97%的患者(n=2048)对年轻医生的准备、知识和帮助的满意度最高。只有9.6% (n=221)和1.31% (n=33)的患者对这个问题的满意度分别为中等和低水平。同样，86.78% (n=1963)的患者对年轻医生在治疗前和治疗过程中解释所有程序非常满意。对该属性满意的患者比例分别为11.67% (n=264)和1.55% (n=35)。满意度最低的是候诊时间，其次是候诊室的舒适度和年轻牙医是否了解在需要某些材料时所需费用的准确估计，其中61.44% (n=1388)、63.75% (n=1486)和77.91% (n=1552)的患者满意度较高。事实上，这些问题被证明是需要进一步改进的地方。结论:本调查结果为绘制和比较大学生牙科门诊患者对治疗的满意度提供了基准数据。在本调查中，大多数患者对本科诊所提供给他们的护理质量和标准感到满意。调查结果进一步表明，大多数患者对牙科本科学生的知识、能力和技能表示信任。然而，他们对等待时间、候诊室的舒适度以及学生对治疗过程所需牙科材料的正确费用的准确估计的知识表示不满。

Orthodontic therapy includes the use of orthodontic appliances that favour plaque retention further causing inflammation of the underlying periodontium. This inflammation if left untreated further progresses to gingival enlargement. Bulky interdental papillae in gingival enlargement further act as an area of plaque retention thereby preventing the plaque control and thus worsening the periodontal condition of the patient. Diagnosis of such enlargements is carried out with co-relation of clinic radiographic findings and histo-pathological findings. Although with the advancements in technology, a variety of treatment options like laser excision, chemosurgery, cryotherapy, electrosurgery, sclerotherapy is available nowadays but surgical excision still remains the treatment of choice. This case report focusses on treating the gingival hyperplasia with surgical excision along with stringent follow-up and patient education regarding different plaque control practices to be followed during on-going orthodontic therapy in order to reduce chances of recurrence.

Background: Orthodontic treatments of skeletal open bite are among the most challenging and at high relapse. Available therapies vary from behaviour-modifying appliances in growing patients to surgical approach in adults. Recently, clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, have also been proposed as a treatment modality, to be used alone or in combination with temporary anchorage devices. Case report: A 19-year-old female presented with 3-mm anterior open bite, peg-shaped upper lateral incisors, incorrect tongue posture at rest and during function. Due to aesthetic request, an orthodontic camouflage with Invisalign® was carried out for 17½ months, along with myofunctional therapy and composite veneers on upper lateral incisors. During the first months of retention, intermaxillary vertical elastics were maintained at night-time as positive feedback to the tongue. A 5-year follow-up confirmed stability of the results. Conclusions: A system of clear aligners in combination with myofunctional therapy was effective in the treatment of a skeletal open bite malocclusion, with stability at 5 years. The closure of the anterior open bite was obtained through a combination of lower molar intrusion, incisor extrusion and counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. In selected cases of optimal compliance, Invisalign® may constitute a feasible treatment option in management of open bite in non-growing patients.

The use of ceramic implants has been on the rise in recent years. More and more dental clinicians add this option in their therapy concepts. Also, more and more implant companies add this kind implants to their product portfolio. As mean reason, the growing demand from patients for metal-free restorations can be identified. However, applying zirconia implants is surely not identical to the manipulation of titanium implants. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that practitioners are well informed and decently trained before starting to use these implants. This article gives an overview on the main differences between the 2 types of implants.
