There is a solid association between a considerable number of previously mentioned qualities and elements. The association between the individual's (general public's) wellbeing and the existence standard is promptly significant the medication. This association is clear to such an extent that there is no need in any extra demonstrates. The quintessence of this association comprises in numerous limitations, forced by the wellbeing level on work, rest, indispensable action and surprisingly on man's presence prospects. The limits forced by actual handicap, cardiovascular sicknesses, by diabetes, mental illnesses in transit of life and its standard are notable by everybody. That is the reason perhaps the main undertakings of any general public is the increment of individuals' life standard. By the level of this marker, one could decide of the human advancement, movement level, society and state success, about the level of their correspondence to individuals' desires and yearnings. For the last decade the issues managing the existence standard have more prominent and more noteworthy association with the levelheaded use of the earth assets, its biology, solid method of living, the schooling of the character.

When Someone missed his/her teeth they will have some problems such as eating and laughing and also bad psychological state that can even affect his/her confidence and there are two option treatment plans according to their dentist’s opinion to choose dental implants or dentures. In this paper, I’ve tried to investigate the advantages of both treatment plans. Each treatment plans has its own advantages and disadvantages. Dental Implant treatment plan advantages are natural-looking, natural-acting and natural feeling teeth and Dentures advantages are versatility, cost, and aesthetics. Both treatments plans are used as an alternative for the missing teeth and can vary according to some of the parameters including the patient-specific treatment plan, functionality, financial aspect, the appearance of teeth and the comfort care.

When severe atrophy in posterior portion of the mandible is present, lateralization of the alveolar nerve might be an option that allows implant installation in the area. However, this technique is complex and can produce some sequelae to patient, as paresthesia. Planning the implant installation using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)-guided surgery might prevent inferior alveolar nerve lateralization. The current report presents a clinical case of implants placement in posterior mandible area with severe alveolar ridge atrophy using CBCT-guide. The reported clinical case refers to a patient (female; 65 years old), partially edentulous, who sought dental rehabilitation complaining lack of efficiency of the removable inferior prosthesis. Clinically, it was observed that the remaining inferior teeth included 34, 33, 32, 31, 41, 42 and 43, and two dental implants in 35 and 44 positions. Moreover, severe bilateral alveolar ridge atrophy was noted. However, tomographic exams revealed bilateral proximity to inferior alveolar nerve canal where further implants should be placed. In order to avoid complications, a CBCT with surgical guide was obtained. At surgery with the surgical guide, 2 Cone Morse 3.5 × 10 mm dental implants were installed in the position of teeth 36 and 46. After implants placement, a new tomographic exam was performed. It was possible to verify the correct positioning to the implants laterally to the inferior alveolar nerve canal. Through the technique employed, it was possible to avoid manipulation of the inferior alveolar nerve bilaterally.

As we all look forward to phasing towards the new normal, COVID-19 has certainly changed the way we would be practicing dentistry. As the global health organizations are working relentlessly laying down guidelines to control the transmission, the dental team should effectively integrate these guidelines to establish safe practices considering the scarcity of available armamentarium. As we cautiously move from treating emergencies to regular care, it would be important to modify and reorganize our existing offices to best contain and prevent cross contaminations of the novel corona virus. Incorporating teledentistry wherever possible, careful management of personal protective equipment, employing strategies for extended use, re use and decontamination of respirators, improvising disinfection protocols will enable us to effectively surmount the existing scarcities and provide quality care. Also it is important that each and every one of the dental team have clear guidelines on how to manage patients with different COVID experiences. These experiences may range from COVID screening to dealing with patients who have active infection or patients who have resolved COVID infection when presented for dental care, and if situations arise, the team should be prepared for self quarantine. It is crucial to be in collaboration with local and state health departments to better understand local disease transmission rates and follow guidelines until we receive evidence based data.

Objective: The aim of this study was to establish a protocol for the isolation and expansion of a fibromesenchymal cell population from the connective tissue of the oral mucosa for future bioengineering protocols. Methods: For the isolation of fibroblasts and progenitor cells, we used pieces of surgical samples from patients with an indication for oral surgery. The protocol for isolation was as follows: the tissue was washed with Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) supplemented with antibiotic-antimycotic (PSA). The tissue was placed in a test tube containing collagenase type II and was incubated overnight in the oven. After incubation, the collagenase was collected and the tissue was again washed once with PBS +PSA. Subsequently, the Colony-Forming Unit (CFU) test was performed. The cells (1.0 × 105 ) were plated on a 10 cm² dish containing Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) with high glucose, supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). The cells were fixed with 10% formalin and stained with crystal violet before counting the colonies. The assay was performed in triplicates. Results: The cells from all samples showed a homogeneous morphology with a characteristic stellate appearance. The only difference was in the number of colonies formed. There was a significant increase in the number of colonies formed on day 1 when compared with those formed at day 0, and a significant decrease when compared with those formed at day 2. Conclusion: It was possible to establish a protocol for the primary culture of fibroblasts derived from human oral mucosa.
目的:本研究的目的是建立一种从口腔粘膜结缔组织中分离和扩增纤维间充质细胞群的方案，为未来的生物工程方案提供依据。方法:为了分离成纤维细胞和祖细胞，我们使用了来自有口腔手术指征的患者的手术样本。分离方法如下:用磷酸盐缓冲盐水(PBS)加抗菌药(PSA)洗涤组织。将组织放入含有II型胶原酶的试管中，在烤箱中孵育过夜。孵育后，收集胶原酶，用PBS +PSA再次洗涤组织一次。随后，进行菌落形成单位(CFU)测试。将细胞(1.0 × 105)置于10 cm²培养皿中，培养皿中含有高葡萄糖的Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM)，并添加10%胎牛血清(FBS)。细胞用10%福尔马林固定，结晶紫染色，计数菌落。试验分三次进行。结果:细胞形态均匀，呈星状。唯一的区别是形成的殖民地数量。与第0天相比，第1天形成的菌落数量显著增加，与第2天形成的菌落数量显著减少。结论:建立人口腔黏膜成纤维细胞原代培养方案是可行的。

This study is a descriptive cross-sectional conducted at Wad Medani, Dental Teaching Hospital, Sudan. Aim: The study aims to estimate the level of patient satisfaction of available services and facilities at Wad Medani dental teaching hospital Methods: The sample size was 100 patients. A structured questionnaire obtained the information; all the respondents agreed to participate in this study, giving a response rate of 100%. Most of the patients who underwent the study were women (56%). Results: The overall patients 'satisfaction rate was (61%), and the dissatisfaction rate was (39%). The areas for satisfaction were the residents', doctors (79%), respect for what the patients said (85%), getting approval before treatment (77%), explain the treatment plan in a clear way and the explanations that residents provided (70%). The areas behind the dissatisfaction were with cleanliness in the hospital (59%), evaluating the waiting time after registering to enter the clinic (44%), evaluating pharmacy services and providing medicines (51%), assessing of the radiology service (35%). Conclusion: Assessment of patient satisfaction and the impact of collecting patient information is essential to build up strategic quality improvement plans. The resulted report provides the opportunity for the Dental Teaching Hospital managers and policymakers to yield a better understanding of patient views and perceptions, and the extent of their involvement in enhancing the quality of dental healthcare services. Furthermore, managers should implement effective changes by unfreezing old behaviours, introducing new ones, and re-freezing them for better dental healthcare delivery.

Thousands of children visit the dentist every year and even though general practitioners do their best to provide them with good oral health, there is always something that escapes our control: the way teeth and jaws are disposed of. According to research carried out in the UK almost 55 % of the children population has an orthodontic problem. So how should we general dentists know when it’s the right timing to refer these patients for their first appointment with an orthodontist when even specialist’s opinions on this matter differ? These treatments, in general, are very time sensitive and if premature or delayed it leads to problems down the line which could have been prevented in the first place. The purpose of this study is to provide the general practitioner with the necessary tools and tricks to identify the most common skeletal malocclusions in the dental practice and to give them the ability to decide on the best moment to start with our orthodontic treatment based on age, development and the specific jaw problem.
