Patients suffering from cardiovascular disease are vulnerable to physical and emotional stress. If, in addition, the patients have to undergo dental treatment, it will add to their stress. Cardiac patients may collapse in the dental clinic due to various cardiac emergencies or drug interactions. Hence, patients with cardiac disease may pose a significant risk in dental clinics. Multidisciplinary approach while treating medically compromised dental patients is mandatory to reduce complications and to achieve satisfactory results. This article gives an overview of inter-relationship of cardiac and dental pathogenesis and also aims to make recommendations that need to be followed in dental clinics while treating patients with associated cardiac problems.

Aim: Biochemical parameters in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) are affected by some systemic diseases and poor oral hygiene. The aim of this study was to evaluate the total amounts of Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in GCF in children with epilepsy. Material and methods: 80 children with epilepsy in free seizure period (Test group) and 80 healthy children (Control group) were evaluated. Gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) was measured. GCF was collected and its volume was measured. The total amounts of IL-1β and VEGF in GCF were analyzed in Biochemistry Laboratory. Results: The biochemical (IL-1β and VEGF) and clinic parameters (GI, PI, PD and GCF volume) were significantly higher in the children with epilepsy compared with healthy children (p<0.0001). When the epilepsy patients were divided into groups according to the drug used in this study, there were no significant differences in GCF levels of IL-1β and VEGF among the drug groups. Conclusion: According to these results it may be suggested that patients need an optimal oral care in epilepsy.

Marfan syndrome (MS) is a multisystemic, inherited disorder of the connective tissue. It is caused by mutations in the gene FBN1, encoding fibrillin, a major component of microfibrils. Thus, this disturbance causes effects in many systems composed of connective tissue such as skeletal and cardiovacular mainly. The skeletal phenotype of patients with Marfan syndrome is characterized by tall stature, joint hypermobility, ligamentous laxity, protrusion acetabular arms and long legs, disproportionate fingers (arachnodactyly) dolichocephaly, high palate, scoliosis, protrusion (pectus carinatum) or depression ( pectus excavatum) of the sternum; decreasing the relationship between the upper and lower third of the skeleton and espondilolistesis. The main cardiovascular manifestations are mitral valve prolapse and aortic dilation, and these increases the risk of dissection and rupture of the aorta and aortic regurgitation. Orofacial characteristics are frequently described and used in the diagnosis of the syndrome. The orofacial defects more prevalent are constriction of the maxilla and high palate, with concomitant dental crowding, posterior cross bite and open bite. The cranium and the face is present Benthic, usually the dolicocephalic and type II malocclusion is often found. The maxillary constriction can influence the increase in nasal resistance, which can cause severe obstructive sleep apnea, which has a high prevalence in These Patients who are respirators mouth often. The looseness of the capsular ligaments and muscles can hyperextensibility contribute to dysfunction and habitual movements or subluxation of the temporomandibular joint. Dental treatment of these patients is mainly focused on the resolution of orthopedic disorders, which include features like dolichocephaly, upper deep palate and occurrence of obstructive apnea. It is important to know the systemic features that accompany the syndrome to enable safe and proper treatment.

Objectives: We assessed the percentage of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection diagnosed by preoperative screening, and estimated the cost of screening. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed elective surgical cases in our-maxillofacial surgery department between April 2012 and March 2015. We also compared the number of HBV+, HCV+, and HIV+ patients identified by preoperative screening to those identified through a preoperative interview and questionnaire. We also compared the prevalence of HBV and HCV infections by age, sex, and the eleven commonest dental diagnoses. Results: Of 4469 patients, 34 (0.76%) and 90 (2.01%) patients were seropositive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and HCV, respectively. Five (0.59%) of 845 patients exhibited HIV-1/2 antibody. The self-reported rates were as follows: HBV, 47.1% (16/34); HCV, 64.4% (58/90); and HIV, 60% (3/5). The odds ratio for HBsAg was not significant, irrespective of age. HCV antibody was more prevalent in patients with alveolar disorders and impacted teeth, after adjustment for age. The annual cost for screening was ¥12,750,000 (US $127,500 at an exchange rate of US $1 = ¥100). Conclusion: Given the high cost, low prevalence, and the real likelihood of seroconversion after testing, screening for HBV, HCV, and HIV infections in patients requiring dental and oral-maxillofacial surgery is impractical. Universal precautions, with post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) as needed, remain the method of choice for minimizing risk to practitioners.

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a peculiar entity affecting the jaw bones. It is a benign intraosseous neoplasm of jaws that shows a very high recurrence rate. It is locally aggressive and is lined by keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. The most important feature that separates KCOTs and other odontogenic cysts and tumors is the presence of microcysts also called as daughter cysts. Daughter cysts are the main source of recurrence, and they complicate the treatment plan to a great extent. KCOT is commonly seen in the posterior mandible and ramus area and rarely the condyle. In this paper, we present the case of a 25 year old female patient with KCOT involving the condyle and coronoid process along with relevant review of literature. This patient was subjected to marsupialisation, and is followed up once in 3 months.

Background: The key reason for failure of an endodontic treatment is incomplete debridement and sterilization because of complex root canal system anatomy which makes elimination of micro-organisms difficult. In spite of the chemical and mechanical debridement of root canals, studies have reported that some microbes like Enterococcus faecalis thrive in periapical lesions, triggering a failure of an endodontic treatment. Considering the vanity, adverse effects and toxicity issues of synthetic medications, the herbal alternatives have been sought for endodontic irrigation. Objectives: To review the current evidence on the efficacy of different plant derivatives against Enterococcus faecalis. Materials and methods: Studies were identified through systematic search of the following electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and Cochrane database of systematic reviews. The results from the relevant published literatures are discussed. Summary and Conclusion: The conclusion drawn from in vitro and in vivo studies seems encouraging and as proven in clinical studies, Propolis and Salvadora persica have been proven to be efficacious against Enterococcus faecalis. More laboratory and clinical research is required to assess the safety, efficacy and biocompatibility of other plant extracts, before finally recommending them as alternative endodontic irrigants.
背景:根管系统解剖结构复杂，微生物清除困难，导致根管治疗失败的主要原因是清创术和灭菌不彻底。尽管对根管进行化学和机械清创，但有研究报道，一些微生物，如粪肠球菌，在根尖周围病变中大量繁殖，导致根管治疗失败。考虑到合成药物的虚荣度、不良反应和毒性问题，人们一直在寻求草药替代品来进行牙髓冲洗。目的:综述不同植物衍生物抗粪肠球菌作用的研究进展。材料和方法:通过系统检索以下电子数据库:PubMed、Web of Science、Scopus、Google Scholar和Cochrane系统综述数据库来确定研究。讨论了相关已发表文献的结果。摘要与结论:体外和体内研究得出的结论令人鼓舞，并且在临床研究中证实蜂胶和木耳对粪肠球菌有效。需要更多的实验室和临床研究来评估其他植物提取物的安全性、有效性和生物相容性，然后才最终推荐它们作为替代的牙髓冲洗剂。

Objective: Benign migratory glossitis is a immunologic-psychologic disease with unknown etiology. Aim of this study is evaluation of salivary IL-1 and Il-8 levels in these patients. Study Design: A case-control study was performed on 170 participants (85 with BMG, 85 controls). Unstimulated whole saliva was collected, and interleukin 8 (IL-8) and interleukin 1(IL-1) concentrations were measured. Anxiety level was measured using psychologic and physiologic testing instruments. An independent t test and a Pearson correlation analysis were performed with SPSS. Results: There was a significant difference between the 2 groups regarding the salivary concentrations of IL8 (P ≤ .006) and IL-1 (P ≤ .002). The concentration of salivary cortisol and state and trait anxiety levels in the BMG group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ≤ .001). Conclusions: Immunologic and psychologic parameters appear associated with BMG and may constitute risk factors of this condition.

Background: Hepatitis B is a well-documented occupational hazard for health care workers, including both doctor and paramedical personals. Vaccination is the best way by which one can arm oneself against Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The present study was conducted to assess awareness, attitude and vaccination status of staff nurses of a teaching hospital in north India. Materials and Method: All the staff nurses (170) who gave consent to participate in the study were enrolled in the study. A self-structured close ended questionnaire comprising of three parts was used to collect information. First part comprised of questions on demography, second part assessed subjects’ awareness regarding HBV infection and third part comprised of questions on immunization status. Chi-square test and multiple linear regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 24.9 ± 6.8 years. Awareness regarding HBV infection was present among 94.7% (161) of subjects. Universal Precautions were followed by 81.8% (139) of subjects. Only 18.8% (32) subjects were following correct method of disposal of Biomedical Waste (BMW). The odds of getting immunized were 4.46 times greater in subjects who had awareness of Hepatitis B infection than those who did not. Conclusion: Awareness regarding HBV injection and its coverage was high among the subjects. Very few subjects were aware regarding correct route of transmission emphasizing the need for effective intervention programmes designed to increase knowledge about HBV infection.

Very few subjects were aware regarding correct route of transmission emphasizing the need for effective intervention programmes designed to increase knowledge about HBV infection.","PeriodicalId":19556,"journal":{"name":"Oral health and dental management","volume":"69 3","pages":"256-260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91431661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Microbial contamination in dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) has recently become an important issue in the field of dental infection control. Using neutral electrolytic water as a new disinfecting method has attracted considerable attention. However, long term data about the effect of using neutral electrolytic water in clinical settings are scarce. This is the first study to evaluate the long term effectiveness of inhibition of bacterial proliferation using the purification system to supply neutral electrolytic water to refine the waterworks in DUWLs. Methods: Before the study, we investigated the actual levels of bacterial contamination in DUWLs. Then we did thorough cleaning of DUWLs and water samples were collected 6 dental units. Three dental units assigned as Group A had purification systems that used neutral electrolytic water, and the other 3 units were the Control group. Water samples were collected from the gargle water, high-speed handpieces and the three-way syringe. We utilized the equipment in Group A, and both groups were maintained for daily clinic work for 14 months. We counted the bacterial colony forming units (cfu) for each sample and identified the pathogenic bacterial species. Results: 3 and 14 months later, no microbes were detected during the study period in Group A whereas numbers of cfu which grew from the Control group increased and glucose non-fermenting gram-negative rod of possible pathogenic organisms to human were identified in the control groups. Conclusions: The water purification system using neutral electrolytic water was effective to control the proliferation of bacteria and could maintain a hygienic environment in DUWLs.
