Introduction. Extracted teeth are still considered clinical waste and therefore are being discarded. It is evident that obtained and prepared autogenous dentin graft (ADG) may be used for guided bone regeneration (GBR) due to its similar biochemical characteristics to human bone. The aim was to present a novel procedure in a clinical setting that employs freshly extracted teeth that are processed into a bacteria-free particulate dentin, and then grafted immediately into the extraction sites or bone deffects. Monitoring the clinical and radiological parameters (vertical and horizontal dimensional changes on the alveolar ridge and vertical dimension of intrabony defects at the distal aspect of the second molar after extraction of third molar) for a period of 6 months, proved rapid healing capacity of ADG on the bone and soft tissue structures in the jawbones. Material and methods. Clinical measurements were performed using a questionnaire for monitoring the postoperative clinical manifestation, bone measuring calipers for measuring horizontal changes of the alveolar ridge and graduated probe for measuring vertical dimensional changes, also paraclinical-radiological examinations to follow-up bone density. Results. During the follow up period of six months, clinical measurements of post-extraction dimensional changes of the alveolar ridges showed minimal horizontal and vertical bone resorption with preserved alveolar ridge volume, with an accelerated bone regenerative process without special postoperative complications. Conclusion. Dentin particulate grafted immediately after extractions should be considered as gold standard due to its osteogenetic, osteoinductive and osteoconductive effects on bone tissue regeneration. With the use of mineralized dentin matrix we get maximum utilization of our own biological potential without the use of other artificial graft materials.

Introduction. Endodontically treated teeth are usually weaker due to the loss of tooth structure. As most of the crown of the tooth is destroyed, the most common retention for restoration is application of a fiber-reinforced composite posts in the root canal. In endodontically treated teeth, there are two main problems in the restorative procedure: reduced resistance of the remaining tooth structure and choosing the necessary adequate retention for restoration. The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of irrigation protocol on the bond strength of two types of fiber posts luted with two different adhesive cements. Materials and method. In this in vitro study, 48 single-rooted teeth (incisors, single-rooted second premolars) extracted for orthodontic and periodontal reasons were used. The teeth were divided into the four groups of 12 teeth depending on the type of fiber post used as well as the irrigation agent. Each group was further divided into the two subgroups of six teeth depending on the material and cementation technique. Results. In all cross-sectional statistics the difference appeared only when different types of irrigants were used and they changed bond strength between dentin and bonding material. Conclusions. Irrigation protocol has a significant influence on the bond strength of composite post, independent of the type of post and cementation material used.

Introduction. Decreased salivary flow is frequently associated with numerous diseases such as diabetes mellitus and may lead to numerous oral diseases. The aim of this study was to compare salivary flow rate and oral health status in type 2 diabetics and healthy controls. Material and methods. The study involved 90 patients, divided into the three groups: 30 with well controlled (HbA1c<9%), 30 will poorly controlled (HbA1c?9%) diabetes and 30 healthy subjects. The following clinical parameters were determined: decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT); plaque index (PI), sulcus bleeding index (SBI), probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL). Culture of Candida spp. specimens were obtained from tongue dorsum and inoculated into Sabouraud Dextrose Agar. Saliva was collected using ?a spit technique?. Results. Highest mean of unstimulated salivary flow was in healthy subjects; however significant difference between groups was not observed. Stimulated salivary flow results indicate significant reduction in diabetics as well as significant relation between metabolic control and salivary flow. Unstimulated and stimulated salivary flows were negatively and significantly correlated with periodontal parameters and DMFT. Conclusion. The present findings indicate that decreased salivary flow rate could have a significant impact on oral health status in type 2 diabetics.

Introduction. This review aims to investigate modern methods of applying artificial intelligence to diagnose SARS Cov-2 and predict the development of potential emergencies. Methods. The most commonly used electronic databases, such as Scopus and Medline during 2020, were searched. A narrative approach was used to synthesize the extracted data. Results. In this review paper, it has been shown that the application of artificial intelligence plays a significant role in virus diagnosis and prognosis in clinical trials. It allows resources to be used much more rationally, such as respirators, in hospitals, during the treatment of SARS Cov-2 and the prediction of possible mortality. The obtained results are from the analysis performed on 120 papers and studies that were electronically taken from papers published on Scopus and Pub Med line. Most commonly used artificial intelligence techniques are convolutional neural networks and machine learning. Conclusions. Included studies showed that artificial intelligence can significantly improve the treatment of SARS Cov-2, although many of the proposed methods have not yet been clinically accepted. In addition, more effort is needed to develop standardized reporting protocols or guidelines on applying artificial intelligence into conventional clinical practice. This technology is suitable for fast and accurate diagnosis, prediction and monitoring of current patients and prognosis of disease development in future patients.

Numerous technological solutions in recent years have significantly improved the cleaning and shaping of canals and made canal instrumentation simpler, more efficient and safer. Significantly faster and less stressful canal instrumentation for the therapist is enabled by the specific design of the file working part and a special thermal modification of NiTi alloy with a change in the movement dynamics of the file in the canal. Research has shown that the problem of cyclic fatigue and torsional stress of the file during canal preparation can be solved by changing usual continuous rotation of the file. Dental technology has introduced the technique of reciprocal movements as an alternative to full file rotation. This change in file rotation direction during instrumentation, based on the technique of balanced forces, significantly reduces contact surface with the canal wall, eliminates the effect of screwing, extends the life of the file and further increases safety of instrumentation of different canal systems. An important advantage of changing the usual dynamics of file movements is that the concept of reciprocal movements is based on the use of only one file, which in addition to shortening treatment time also makes this intervention safer and with significantly lower percentage of defects and fractures of NiTi files. The aim of this paper was to present the concept of canal instrumentation with NiTi files with reciprocal movements as well as development, properties and possibility of application of these files in different clinical situations.

Introduction. Due to its simplicity, sliding mechanism is very often used in clinical practice for post-extraction space closure, however, the efficiency of this method may be reduced due to friction and changes in the properties of the materials used in this method. The most commonly used methods of sliding mechanics are nickel titanium (NiTi) closed coil spring and elastic chain. The aim of this study was to analyze force degradation in the application of nickel titanium closed coil springs and elastic chains during post-extraction space closure within treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances. Material and Methods. The total sample in this study consisted of 78 post-extraction spaces in patients who were indicated for extraction of first premolars and treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances. Nickel titanium closed coil springs and elastic chains were used to close the post-extraction spaces. Post-extraction spaces were monitored for 6 months with follow up examinations every 4 weeks. Measurements of initial force, at the beginning of mechanism activation and residual force in the observation period were performed during control examinations. Results. Results of this research showed that with both methods of sliding mechanism there was a significant decrease in the observation period. When using NiTi closed coil springs, the value of average initial force at control examination was between 189.00-210.25 g, while residual was in the range of 117.56-133.50 g that NiTi closed coil springs kept an average 61.57% of initial force. The average initial force on the control examinations for elastic chains was between 184.5-205.38 g, while residual force was in range of 100.39-113.00 g, that elastic chains retained an average 53.41% of initial force. Conclusion. There was a significant force degradation between inspections, when sliding mechanics were applied. The loss of force between activation phases of NiTi closed coil springs was smaller compared to the forces produced by elastic chains.

Oral health is an important part of general health, and the overall quality of life directly depends on preserving the function of the orofacial system. The use of exclusively clinical parameters does not adequately present functional and psychosocial aspects of oral health and individual?s needs. Therefore, the concept of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) is introduced to assess the impact of oral diseases on overall well-being. Numerous questionnaires and scales adapted to the needs of different population groups are used for this purpose. The OHRQOL measurement facilitates the screening of hidden oral health problems in population and directs the design of public health programs following the population?s health needs. Although the use of OHRQOL assessment tools has improved significantly in the recent years, it is still underrepresented in clinical practice. There is a need to increase the use of the OHRQOL assessment questionnaire in clinical practice in order to improve communication between dentists and patients, facilitate the evaluation of final therapeutic outcomes and improve the quality of dental health care.

Due to its similarity with biological apatite found in vertebrate hard tissues, calcium hydroxyapatite is one of the most investigated materials in bone tissue engineering. As the biological apatite is not stoichiometric, ion substituted hydroxyapatites attract much atention since they more closely mimic the composition of natural bone. Although there are many investigations of the influence of foreign ions on the structure and physico-chemical properties of ion-substituted hydroxyapatites, there is scarse information on their behaviour in different media. In the present study, magnesium (Mg), that plays a key role in bone metabolism and silicon (Si), that is necessary for normal skeletal development, were used as ion substitutes. The behaviour of Mg and Si substituted hydroxyapatite in simulated body fluid was investigated by XRD, FTIR and SEM. Obtained results confirmed great potential of these substituted hydroxyapatites for biomedical applications.

Introduction. Marginal seal or adequate marginal adaptation of material along the cavity walls should be able to prevent leakage of tissue fluid and consequently bacterial microleakage, terefore, it is considered as significant factor for long term success of endodontic treatment. The aim of this work was to test the marginal microleakage of newly synthesized nanostructured biomaterials based on calcium aluminate, calcium silicate and MTA with a dye penetration test after application the material to the interradicular perforations of extracted teeth. Material and method. The study included 48 extracted human maxillary and mandibular molars. Newly synthesized nanostructured materials were tested: material based on calcium aluminate, calcium silicate. Commercial calcium silicate cement (MTA Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) was used as a control material. Marginal microleakage was examined with a dye penetration test six months after application of the material in experimentally prepared interradicular perforations on extracted human molars. Penetration depth measurement was analyzed with a binocular magnifier (Leica DM 500, Leica Byosistems). Results are expressed in millimeters and statistically processed by applying the analysis of variance for repeated measurements with the Sidak test. Results. The lowest average penetration (mm) was for MTA (1.40 ? 0.63 mm), and the highest for Ca aluminates (2.10 ? 0.63 mm), while for calcium silicates an average color penetration of 1.73 ? 0, 67mm was recorded. By testing intergroup differences in color penetration between groups, a statistically significant difference between MTA and Ca aluminate was obtained using Sidak?s test (t = -0.693; p = 0.036). No statistically significant difference was recorded between MTA and Ca silicate, nor was there a statistically significant difference between Ca aluminate and Ca silicate. Conclusion. The lowest marginal microleakage, the best marginal sealing, was recorded with the MTA material. The microleakage of calcium aluminate-based materials was significantly higher compared to calcium silicate and MTA.

Introduction. When planning orthodontic treatment, it is sometimes necessary to apply the extraction of individual teeth, in order to achieve proper occlusion and an acceptable aesthetic appearance. Clinicians give the greatest advantage to elastic chains as a method for post-extraction space closure during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances. When closing post-extraction spaces, it is necessary to measure them in order to adjust the treatment plan. One of the most acceptable methods is photogrammetry. The aim of this study was to analyze, using a photogrammetric method, the efficacy of post-extraction space closure with elastic chains during orthodontic treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances. Material and Methods. The total sample in study consisted of 38 post-extraction spaces in 19 patients who were indicated for first premolars extraction and use of fixed orthodontic appliances in order to achieve treatment goal. Elastic chains were used to close post-extraction spaces. Post-extraction sites were monitored for 6 months with follow-up examinations every 4 weeks. Mechanisms were activated at controlled examinations, and measurements of the width of post-extraction spaces were performed by photogrammetry and digital caliper. Results. The results showed that average reduction of post-extraction space width was 1.00 mm per month by photogrammetric measurement, while the average values of measurements with a digital caliper were 1.02 mm. The average values were measured in six time intervals and a statistically significant change in average intervals of post-extraction spaces during 6 months was determined. Conclusion. The elastic chain has proven to be a very effective mechanism for closing post-extraction space, and photogrammetry as a simple and precise method for monitoring results of treatment. Since the difference in relation to measurements with a digital caliper is minimal, photogrammetry can be routinely applied in everyday practice.
