Chronic apical periodontitis (CAP) is one of the most common endodontic diagnosis caused by microbial infection within the root canal system of the affected tooth. Endodontic therapy is one of the possible treatment modalities for CAP, but the prognosis depends on numerous factors. The size of the periapical lesion is always singled out as one of the most significant, as its increase drastically decreases the degree of success of endodontic therapy. Certain periapex radiographic indices (PAI, CBCT-PAI, PESS) are used to evaluate the size and characteristics of the periapical lesion, as well as to monitor the outcome of the implemented therapy. A 30-year-old patient presented with pain caused by an acute exacerbation of CAP on tooth 37. Radiographic analysis revealed the presence of an extensive, diffuse radiolucency in the area of tooth 37. A complete endodontic procedure was performed. One year after, there were clear, radiographic signs of the reduction of the lesion. Findings of periapical radiographic indices indicated the success of therapy as well. The aim of this paper was to present, on one case from clinical practice, complete endodontic therapy protocol of an extensive periapical lesion with symptoms of exacerbation.

Introduction. The aim of this study was to analyze working surfaces of new hand endodontic instruments and to check possible existence of dirt or defects on working surface that resulted from manufacturing process using SEM. Material and methods. Three sets of new hand instruments: K-File (KF), (18 instruments) (Dentsply Maillefer, Switzerland) and Hedstorm Files (HF), (18 instruments) (SybronEndo Co, USA) were used. Instruments were analyzed by SEM method at 170? magnification while semi-quantitative EDS analysis was used to determine chemical composition of dirt particles. Fisher test (p < 0.05) was applied in statistical analysis. Results. Results showed that none of the instruments was defect-free. The most common defects were metal strips and fretting noticed at the surface of all tested instruments. Debris was present on all KF (100% in apical and middle third) and HF (56% in apical and 56% in middle third) instruments. Pitting was noticed in KF (33% in apical and 39% in middle third) and HF (11% in apical and 6% in middle third) instruments. Corrosion of working surface, metal flash and disruption of cutting edge were marked only in KF group. Conclusion. Manufacturing defects were noticed in all instruments and the most common type of irregularity were metal strips and fretting.

Introduction. Patients with orthodontic diagnosis of spacing most often require a multidisciplinary approach, which includes orthodontic and following restorative treatment to enhance the esthetic outcome. The aim of this case report is to present management of spacing in the anterior region by orthodontic treatment followed by partial veneers using the injectable composite resin technique. Case report. In this case, leveling and alignment of dental arches and stable occlusion was achieved during orthodontic treatment, with the correction of upper and lower incisor inclination and closing the diastemas. Intraoral and extraoral esthetic parameters were evaluated on the photographs, and partial veneers on lateral incisors and canines were designed for the wax-up model. In the injectable composite resin technique, the silicone index was used to transfer the wax-up to composite restorations. The highly filled injectable composite resin was injected through the silicone index and light-cured. The restoration required only gentle polishing due to the great precision of the index. Discussion. Post-orthodontic recontouring in the anterior region is mostly done by direct composite restorations because they are cost-effective, minimally invasive, and the procedure is relatively simple. The injectable resin composite technique can be a solution for the same indication since it is less technique sensitive and gives predictable and great esthetic results, mostly without tooth preparation. Conclusion. Management of anterior spacing in adult patients requires a comprehensive approach for optimal esthetic and functional results. In this case, orthodontic treatment was followed by partial veneers on lateral incisors and canines, using the injectable composite resin technique as a simple and predictable solution for minor restorative interventions to solve morphological tooth abnormalities in the esthetic smile zone.

Due to the development of digital technologies, the modern concept of prosthetic-guided implantology is based on non-invasive surgical and restorative techniques. Computer-aided planning, computer-guided workup and computerguided surgery have largely ensured the predictability of the therapeutic outcome. This is supported by research data related to the frequency of implant therapy, according to which in the first half of 2020 there was an increase of 9.7%. However, anatomical limitations remain a challenge for the implant team. The most common problem related to implant therapy in edentulous patients is limited edentulous space in one or more spatial planes. Improving the design of surgical guides facilitates implantation in spatially limited and complex cases. By introducing interactive computed tomography into the field of implantology, a three-dimensional approach to every aspect of planning and implantation has become possible.

Introduction. ALBO-HA (Vinca, Serbia) is new nanostructured calcium aluminate cement, synthesized as a potential alternative to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The purpose of this study was to compare the periapical tissue response to new nanostructured calcium aluminate cement ALBO-HA with white MTA (MTA Angelus, Londrina, Brasil) as root-filling material into the root canal of sheep?s teeth. Material and methods. Sixteen mandibular incisors from two 24-month-old sheep were used. Root canals were prepared and filled with ALBO-HA (group 1) or MTA (group 2) (eight teeth per group in each sheep). After four weeks the animals were sacrificed, teeth with surrounding tissue removed, and histologically processed. The sections were analyzed for determination of scores of the following parameters: periapical inflammatory infiltrate, newly mineralized apically formed tissue, apical periodontal ligament space thickness and resorption of dentin, cementum and bone. Data were analyzed statistically (?=0.05) using Mann-Whitney U test. Results. Slight inflammatory infiltrate was observed in 75.0% and 62.5% of samples in the group 1 and group 2, respectively (p>0.05). Partial newly mineralized apically formed tissue was found in 75.0% of samples in the group 1, and 87.5% of samples in group 2 (p>0.05). No significant difference was noted for periodontal ligament space thickness (p>0.05). Resorption of dentin, cementum or bone was not observed. Conclusion. ALBO-HA and white MTA Angelus had a similar effect on inflammation, newly mineralized apical tissue formation and thickness of periodontal ligament space after root canal filling under the present experimental conditions.

Introduction. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a collective term for numerous symptoms, with the most common being masticatory muscle pain, pain in temporomandibular joints, limited mouth opening, irregular jaw movements, headaches and sound effects in TMJ. The aim was to determine the prevalence and severity of TMD in orthodontic patients determining whether the type of malocclusion affects the prevalence and severity of TMD. Material and Methods. The study was conducted in the form of Fonseca Anamnestic Index, which classifies TMD severity among examinees (no TMD, mild, moderate and severe TMD). The experimental group consisted of orthodontic patients with confirmed malocclusions, while the control group consisted of dental students with a Class I occlusion and no need for orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic patients were classified into the three subgroups based on malocclusions. Results. In the experimental group, 45.03% of orthodontic patients had some degree of TMD, while among students, that percentage was 56.41%. Compared to Class I, higher percentage of TMD was found among patients with distal and mesial occlusion in experimental group. In the experimental and control groups, the greatest percentage of participants showed mild TMD. The prevalence of TMD was greater in females than in males in the experimental group. Conclusion. The high prevalence of TMD in the control group speaks in favor of its complex etiology, with stress having an important role. Malocclusion is one of many factors which can contribute to the occurrence and severity of TMD, but it cannot be considered the most significant.

Introduction. Dental caries is, along with periodontitis, the most frequent oral disease and represents a chronic, progressive, multifactorial process that leads to loss of hard dental tissues. The oral health status analysis and caries risk factors assessment in early childhood and adolescence are necessary for creating strategies in oral health promotion and preventive treatment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate caries prevalence in 12 and 15-year-old schoolchildren in Cukarica, a municipality of Belgrade. Material and method. The retrospective study included 409 schoolchildren of both genders. The oral health status was registered using the Klein-Palmer DMFT system (D - Decayed, M - Missing, F - Filled teeth). The methods of descriptive statistics were performed and p-values lower than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results. The younger group included 214 children (52.3%) and the older group 195 (47.7%). Individual caries rate was higher in 15-year-old children (81.02%) comparing to 12-year-old (57%). The mean value of decayed teeth for all participants was 2.43 and of total DMFT was 8.99%. Conclusions. Oral health promotion programs gave positive results. Moreover, it is important to implement them in the underdeveloped regions of Serbia with an improvement of the oral health literacy of parents and raising awareness of oral diseases.

Skin cancers are the most common malignant tumors in general. The most significant risk factor is exposure to UV radiation. They mainly occur in the head and neck region, and the majority of about 80% are basal cell carcinomas. Surgery is standard treatment of uncomplicated basal cell carcinomas, but a multidisciplinary approach is necessary in advanced cases. The case report refers to a patient with locally advanced recurrent basal cell carcinoma with primary tumor localization in the right auricle and parotid region in 2012 when primary surgery was performed. Due to the local recurrence, amputation of the right auricle and trepanation of the mastoid process was done in November 2018, and after that, radiation therapy of a recurrent tumor in the area of the trepanation cavity was applied. In the course of follow-up so far, there is good local control, without signs of toxicity. The case report points to the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the role of radiotherapy in the treatment and control of advanced basal cell carcinoma of this region.

Surgery is standard treatment of uncomplicated basal cell\u0000 carcinomas, but a multidisciplinary approach is necessary in advanced cases.\u0000 The case report refers to a patient with locally advanced recurrent basal\u0000 cell carcinoma with primary tumor localization in the right auricle and\u0000 parotid region in 2012 when primary surgery was performed. Due to the local\u0000 recurrence, amputation of the right auricle and trepanation of the mastoid\u0000 process was done in November 2018, and after that, radiation therapy of a\u0000 recurrent tumor in the area of the trepanation cavity was applied. In the\u0000 course of follow-up so far, there is good local control, without signs of\u0000 toxicity.

Rickets is a disorder of bone mineralization in children?s skeleton. It is most often associated with vitamin D deficiency, however, it can also occur due to a decrease in serum phosphate levels, which leads to inadequate tissue mineralization, with consequent skeletal deformity and growth disorders. Patients with hypophosphatemic rickets show teeth changes at the morphological and histological level, as well as on radiological images. The aim of this study was to perform clinical and radiological evaluation of dental manifestations of hypophosphatemic rickets in a four-year-old boy, as well as to point out the necessity of including a dentist in the treatment of this disease in order to prevent oral complications.
