Aim: To assess the association of sociodemographic factors on parental perception of Saudi parents on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of their children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 Saudi parents whose children with ASD were enrolled in special schools in Riyadh. Parents were asked to fill out two questionnaires consisting of their sociodemographic information and parental caregiver perception questionnaire. The results were then statistically analyzed by applying mean standard deviation with 95% of confidence interval, Pearson’s Chi-square test, and multinomial regression model with level of significance P < 0.05. Results: Sociodemographic factors, like age, education, and family income, affected various domains of parental perception of OHRQoL of their children with ASD. Age and education of the father are significantly associated with the oral symptom domain (P value = 0.002) and emotional well-being (EW) (P value = 0.032), respectively. Age and education of the mother are significantly associated with the oral symptom domain (P value 0.035) and EW (P value 0.040), respectively. Family income is significantly associated with the oral symptom domain (P value 0.000). Conclusion: There is a definite role of sociodemographic factors on parental perceptions of Saudi parents regarding OHRQoL of ASD children.

Aim: To estimate glutathione (GSH) and total antioxidant (AO) levels in the saliva of smokers and nonsmokers and to establish a correlation with periodontal status. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 males (30 smokers and 30 nonsmokers) were part of the study. Salivary samples were collected by unstimulated method and were stored at 20°C. Salivary GSH concentration was assessed using the enzymatic recycling method and AO levels by phosphomolybdate method spectrophotometrically. Periodontal status was assessed based on the CPITN index. Kruskal–Wallis H test, unpaired “t”-test, and Spearman’s correlation coefficient were used to analyze the statistical significance. Results: The salivary GSH levels in smokers were lower than in nonsmokers. The mean salivary GSH levels of smokers were 10.22 µM, whereas among nonsmokers was 12.99 µM. The mean total AO level of smokers and nonsmokers was 181.18 and 162.58 µgm/mL, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P = 0.02). Kruskal–Wallis H test showed to be statistically significant between the periodontal status of smokers and nonsmokers (P < 0.05). Conclusion: AO levels were significantly lower in smokers than in nonsmokers. The periodontal status showed a higher prevalence of calculus and shallow pockets among the smokers. The correlation of all three parameters showed statistical significance between salivary GSH and AO and periodontal status.

Aim: Grape seed extract (GSE) is considered a herbal alternative and has been noted for its remineralization potential. Thus, this systematic review is to analyze the in-vitro remineralization effectiveness of the natural remineralizing agent, GSE, helping to reinstate new investigative possibilities in the field of restorative dentistry. Materials and Methods: This systematic review was undertaken using objectives and transparent methods as per the PRISMA guideline and was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021269585). Studies that had assessed the remineralizing efficacy of GSE on human primary teeth for the past 20 years published in English language were included. Electronic and manual searches were conducted to identify suitable citations, and electronic search was performed using various databases such as PubMed, Trip Database, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost Database, Scopus, and Web of Science. Those articles that were written in English and those that had full text available were considered because of its use in dentistry, whereas unpublished data and literature written in other languages and articles with only abstracts were excluded. The search was focussed on the effect of GSEs on primary teeth. Results: The search identified 446 citations, and 12 articles were chosen and reviewed in full texts, among which 2 relevant citations met the eligibility criteria for the final inclusion in the systematic review. The studies were of good quality and meta-analyses showed inconsistent evidence on the remineralization potential of GSE when compared with fluoride [mean difference: 16.63 (95% confidence interval: -62.48, 95.73); P = 0.004]. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, the findings of this systematic review suggest that GSE has a remineralizing effect on primary teeth but strong literature-based clinical evidence in favor of GSE is lacking and also the remineralizing effectiveness is lesser when compared with fluoride. This reinforces the need for further in-vivo, in-vitro, and comparative clinical studies.
目的:葡萄籽提取物(GSE)被认为是一种草药替代品,并以其再矿化潜力而闻名。因此,本系统综述旨在分析天然再矿化剂GSE的体外再矿化效果,有助于恢复修复牙科领域的新研究可能性。材料和方法:根据PRISMA指南,使用目标和透明方法进行了系统审查,并在PROSPERO注册(CRD42021269585)。包括在过去20年中以英语发表的评估GSE对人类乳牙再矿化功效的研究。进行电子和手动搜索以确定合适的引文,并使用各种数据库进行电子搜索,如PubMed、Trip数据库、Google Scholar、EBSCOhost数据库、Scopus和Web of Science。那些用英语写的文章和那些有全文的文章之所以被考虑,是因为它们在牙科中使用,而用其他语言写的未发表的数据和文献以及只有摘要的文章则被排除在外。研究的重点是GSE对乳牙的影响。结果:检索共发现446篇引文,共选择12篇文章进行全文综述,其中2篇相关引文符合最终纳入系统综述的资格标准。这些研究质量良好,荟萃分析显示,与氟化物相比,GSE的再矿化潜力证据不一致[平均差异:16.63(95%置信区间:-62.48,95.73);P=0.004]。结论:在本研究的限制范围内,该系统综述的结果表明GSE对乳牙具有再矿化作用,但缺乏支持GSE的强有力的基于文献的临床证据。这加强了进一步的体内、体外和比较临床研究的必要性。

Aim: Bixa orellana and Camellia sinensis are plant species cultivated in several South American countries such as Peru and used to combat diseases due to their antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial activity of the methanolic extract of B. orellana compared with the ethanolic extract of C. sinensis against Streptococcus mutans at 24, 48, and 72 h. Materials and Methods: This in vitro and longitudinal experimental study had a sample of 12 wells per group. The antibacterial activity was assessed at concentrations of 1000 mg/mL (100%), 750 mg/mL (75%), and 500 mg/mL (50%), by the well diffusion method on Müller Hinton Agar in two stages. In first stage, antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract of C. sinensis and methanolic extract of B. orellana was determined. In second stage, concentrations of both extracts with higher antibacterial activity were compared using 0.12% chlorhexidine as a control. In addition, antibacterial sensitivity was assessed according to Duraffourd’s scale and the minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentration (MIC and MBC) was determined. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskall Wallis test and ANOVA test of one factor inter-group and intra-group with Tukey and Bonferroni post hoc, considering a significance level of 5%. Results: In first stage, ethanolic extract of C. sinensis (100% and 75%) and methanolic extract of B. orellana (100% and 75%) showed higher antibacterial activity against S. mutans at 48 h (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively). In second stage, at 48 h, highly sensitive activity was observed against C. sinensis (100% and 75%) and B. orellana at 100%. In addition, C. sinensis at 100% and 75% showed significantly higher antibacterial activity against S. mutans compared with B. orellana (P < 0.05) and chlorhexidine (P < 0.05). Likewise, a significant increase in antibacterial activity could be observed in all concentrations at 48 h (P < 0.001), decreasing significantly in all groups at 72 h (P < 0.001). The MIC of the ethanolic extract of C. sinensis was 250 mg/mL and the MBC was 500 mg/mL. In the methanolic extract of B. orellana the MIC was 125 mg/mL and the MBC was 500 mg/mL. Conclusion: Ethanolic extract of C. sinensis and methanolic extract of B. orellana, both at 100% concentration, presented their highest antibacterial activity against S. mutans at 48 h, with C. sinensis more effective compared with B. orellana. However, this antibacterial effect decreased in both extracts at 72 h. The MBC of C. sinensis and B. orellana against S. mutans was 500 mg/mL for both extracts, whereas the MIC was 250 mg/mL and 125 mg/mL, respectively, for both extracts.

Aim: In certain situations, other forensic aids fail to provide proper personal identification such as changes after death, tissue injury trauma, burns, and insufficiency of fingerprint evidence. Dental identification plays a crucial role in this aspect. However, in edentulous patients, who do not possess teeth and the alveolar bone resorbs very fast, denture marking is a reliable aid for easy identification. This review was carried out to investigate how many methods of denture marking are listed in the literature for personal identification to date and which method is the most reliable?Materials and Methods: Following PRISMA principles, a search of the published literature was conducted electronically in PubMed/Medline, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases, without the publication year limitation using keywords such as (“Denture marking,” OR “Denture labelling”) AND (“Prosthesis”), AND (“Personal identification”), AND (“Forensic science” OR “Forensic odontology”). A manual search of all related journals and reference lists of the relevant articles was also performed. Results: The database search yielded a total of 140 articles; out of which 45 relevant articles were selected describing 10 surface denture marking methods and 20 inclusion denture marking methods. Each method is enclosed with a few of its advantages and disadvantages. Conclusion: From this research, it can be concluded that at present, 30 denture marking methods for personal identification have been reported in the literature, but it cannot be stated definitely which method is the most reliable, as the strengths and weaknesses of each method supersede each other. Robust research and a number of population-based studies are required in this context.

Aim: With the help of developments in artificial intelligence (AI), picture archiving systems, and computer-aided diagnostic systems, dentists have been able to augment the quality of treatment and ensure a favorable outcome, by improving and facilitating the delivery of appropriate dental care. There has been a breakthrough in designing the diagnosis, treatment plans, and predicting prognoses recently, which has helped to explore newer options for better treatment. Materials and Methods: A literature search was conducted using MeSH terms in a variety of databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science, to gather information on “Artificial intelligence (AI) in endodontics.” Unpublished data, literature written in other languages, and articles with only abstracts were discarded. Forty-one relevant articles were included. Results: Since there were not many papers referring to AI in endodontics, papers published relating to AI in dentistry were also referred. The search showed that the use of AI in dentistry, specifically in endodontics, has enormous promise. Although useful, AI has its disadvantages as well as the need for long-term studies. Conclusion: AI, consisting of a sequence of algorithms, work on a concept that mimics the human brain and thinking. AI in endodontics has been used widely in locating apical foramina, identifying periapical pathologies, diagnosis of vertical root fractures, evaluating the outcome of regenerative procedures and retreatments, and assessment of root morphologies and difficulties associated with canal preparations. Being a potential game changer and beginning something called a “fourth industrial revolution,” AI has what it takes to revolutionize endodontics with time.

Aim: Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally aggressive epithelial odontogenic tumor. The present review aimed to identify the most commonly expressed signaling molecule in ameloblastoma detected using cDNA microarray. Materials and Methods: It is a systematic review. In this review, articles were searched using databases—PubMed and Google Scholar and were also searched using Hand Search. All the studies which used cDNA microarray to detect the expression of signaling molecules were included. All the variants of ameloblastoma were included for the review. A total of 22 ameloblastoma cases were included in this systematic review. Out of three studies, 67% of the cases demonstrated upregulation of smoothened (SMO) and sonic hedgehog (SHH). Results: Out of three studies, 33% of the cases showed upregulation of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), fos proto-oncogene (FOS), Wnt family member 10a (Wnt10a), and patched and down-regulation of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2). Of the 67% of the studies which described SMO and SHH, significant expression of SMO (73 times fold change) was noted. SHH expression was noted to have 0.88 times fold change. Of the 33% of the studies included, the highest average fold change was noted to be associated with FOS (14-fold change time) followed by Wnt10a (5.1-fold change times) and TLR2 (3.29-fold change times). However, downregulation of IGF2 by 0.09-fold change times was observed in 33% of the studies. Conclusion: The SMO gene from the SHH pathway was the highest expressed signaling molecule in ameloblastoma.

Aim: Indonesia is the most disaster-prone country in the world, which can cause many dead victims, therefore, the identification process becomes essential, but the difficulties increase when only the skulls, partial jaws, and teeth remain found in the body. Some researchers began to pay attention to estimating stature through teeth dimensions because teeth have high individual characteristics and are the most muscular body structures. This study aims to describe several studies and methods that have been used by researchers from outside Indonesia in estimating stature using odontometric parameters. Materials and Methods: This narrative literature review was conducted by reviewing several studies of stature estimation using odontometric parameters based on PubMed Central and indexed articles and documents published by authorities and boards. Some of the methods found and included in this study include parameters of maxillary permanent dentition, mandibular permanent dentition, all maxillary and mandibular permanent dentition except third molars, and also deciduous dentition. Result: From all parameters above, the easiest method and most applicable in Indonesia is the method using permanent mandibular dentition because it uses the Carrea’s index formula, so the measurement becomes easier and faster to get the desired result. Conclusion: The odontometric parameters used to estimate height vary greatly, although some still showed a low-moderate relationship to height. Carrea’s index is one of the easiest, cheapest, and most reliable and straightforward methods to estimate the height.

This case report designates a combined perio restorative technique in the management of peri-implant 3-dimensional soft tissue defects in an esthetic zone. A staged approach was implemented to treat this case; the first stage was planned to treat the horizontal defect around the implant, in which crown was removed, and coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft were used to treat the soft tissue defect. At the second stage, a modified coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft was used to augment the vertical defect, and no vertical releasing incision was made in this stage to maximize the blood supply to the advanced flap. De-epithelized free gingival graft was harvested from the palate to obtain better fibrous connective tissue graft . Graft was placed over the site to compensate for the vertical defect and flap was advanced to ensure primary closure without tension. Resin-bonded bridge was used as a provision after modification to avoid any soft tissue contact. Healing by primary intention was attained providing a clinically healthy soft tissue surrounding a well-functioning restoration, and periapical radiographs showed a stable crestal bone level without presence of mucositis or peri-implantitis. Within the limitations of this clinical case report, it revealed the possibility of fully restoring severe horizontal and vertical peri-implant soft tissue defects and at the same time attaining high level of patient satisfaction via a combined mucogingival and prosthetic approach; nevertheless, the long-term preservation of this successful outcome needs to be monitored.
