This report describes a case of a 20-month-old baby with severe intrusive luxation. Axial displacement of the teeth in the labial direction was found through the lateral radiograph of nose. Minimal intervention treatment was proposed by periodic follow-up. After 30 days, the teeth started to re-erupt spontaneously without the need for surgical or orthodontic assistance. At eight months, it had erupted completely, showing slight gyroversion of the left upper central incisor. The mother was alerted to monitor the permanent eruption. Conservative treatment in this case of severe dislocation in a baby showed a clinically satisfactory result.

The objective of this study was to compare the volume of three-dimensional (3D) models generated by different scanners and computational modeling protocols. Eight dry mandibles were scanned by five different computed tomography (CT) scanners and by a 3D-scanner. Three-dimensional models were generated, received different surface treatment processes, and the final volume of the 3D models was compared. The results show that there was no significant difference among the volume of the 3D models generated by the different CT scanners and surface treatment techniques, however, the model volume generated by the 3D-scanner show the highest volume. It can be concluded that the different combinations of surface treatment protocols did not determine differences in the model volume generated by different CT and CBCT scanners and that the 3D-scanner determined the highest volume models.

Objectives: Down Syndrome patients are a particularly vulnerable group to teeth loss and periodontal disease. Therefore, the need for prosthetic rehabilitation is only a matter of time. The aim of this systematic review is to assess and summarize the available literature regarding the outcome of dental implants in patients with Down Syndrome. Materials and Methods: An electronic search was performed in Pubmed-Medline, Lilacs, and Cochrane Library. Search terms used were: “dental implant” OR “implant rehabilitation” AND “down syndrome”. Articles reporting the placement of implants in patients with down syndrome up until 2022 were included. Results: A total of 15 studies (10 case reports, 4 retrospective studies and 1 prospective study) comprising 234 implants placed in 61 patients were included. Implant failure occurred for 45 implants, leading to a survival rate of 80.7%. 12 studies out of 15 reported their results after a follow up period of 6 months to 4 years. Conclusion: The limited body of evidence suggests a survival rate of implants in Down Syndrome patients that is lower than among the general population. While several risk factors could explain these failures, there is still much to be answered regarding the mechanisms leading to implant rejection. A careful approach by dental practitioners should be the norm until better designed future studies with longer follow up periods can further shed light on the outcomes of implant therapy in Down Syndrome patients.

This clinical trial was planned to examine the long-standing clinical achievement of dental implants equipped either with cemented or screw-retained systems. A total of 100 teeth were selected based on the following inclusion criteria: should have a particular implant by means of cement and screw implant prosthesis, participants should have superior oral hygiene, non-alcoholic and non-smoker patients, and aged between 20 - 65 years. They were separated into two groups; 50 teeth were cemented (group A) and 50 by a screw (group B) system. At least 24 months evaluation was integrated to measure the periodontal pocket depth. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) where comparisons were assess by using the Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test; a P-value <0.05 was considered significant. It was found that at six months, periodontal pocket depth was increased in 2.0% of teeth in Group-A, but none in Group-B. Periodontal pocket depth increased significantly in group A (20%) at 12 months comparing to group B (4.0%). In the same way, at 18 and 24 months, teeth in group-A had significantly higher periodontal pockets (64.0% and 84.0%, respectively) than in group-B (8.0% and 32.0%, respectively). It can be stated that comparing to the cemented implant, the screw implant prosthesis perform better in terms of their periodontal pocket depth.
本临床试验计划检查牙种植体配备骨水泥或螺钉保留系统的长期临床成果。根据以下入选标准，共选择100颗牙齿:应采用特定的种植体，采用骨水泥和螺钉种植体修复，参与者应具有良好的口腔卫生，非酒精和非吸烟者，年龄在20 - 65岁之间。他们被分成两组;50颗牙采用骨水泥(A组)，50颗牙采用螺钉系统(B组)。结合至少24个月的评估来测量牙周袋深度。使用SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science)进行统计分析，其中使用卡方检验(Fisher精确检验)评估比较;p值<0.05为显著性。6个月时，a组牙周袋深度增加2.0%，而b组牙周袋深度没有增加。与B组(4.0%)相比，A组12个月时牙周袋深度显著增加(20%)。同样，在18个月和24个月时，a组的牙周袋率分别为64.0%和84.0%，明显高于b组(8.0%和32.0%)。可见，与骨水泥种植体相比，螺钉种植体在牙周袋深度方面表现更好。

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of heated irrigating solutions on the cyclic fatigue resistance of reciprocating endodontic files. Materials and Methods: Reciproc Blue, ProDesign S and X1-Blue files were immersed in the irrigating solutions 5.25% NaClO and 2% chlorhexidine digluconate gel heated in oven at 37ºC for 10 min. In same conditions, saline solution was considered as control. The following groups (n=15) were considered: RSs (Reciproc Blue + saline solution); RNa (Reciproc Blue + 5.25% NaClO); RCd (Reciproc Blue + 2% Chlorhexidine digluconate gel); PSs (ProDesign S + saline solution); PNa (ProDesign S + 5.25% NaClO); PCd (ProDesign S + 2% Chlorhexidine digluconate gel; XSs (X1-Blue + Saline solution); XNa (X1-Blue + 5.25% NaClO) and XCd (X1 Blue + 2% Chlorhexidine digluconate gel). Cyclic fatigue test was performed in a device with a 60 degrees curved canal and 5 mm radius immersed in water at 37ºC. The time for file failure was recorded in seconds to calculate the number of cycles to fracture (NCF). Data were submitted to ANOVA followed by Tukey's test (α=0.05%) comparing split plots (SPSS 26.0). Results: There was no statistically significant difference for NCF between irrigating solutions and control in all file types. ProDesign S showed greater and significant difference when compared to Reciproc Blue and X1 Blue in all irrigating solutions and control. Conclusions: NCF value in each file type was not influenced by the solutions. Among file types, the NCF value was higher for ProDesign S and lower for X1-Blue in all solutions. Clinical Relevance: Heated irrigating solutions is not a relevant factor in relation to fracture resistance of reciprocating endodontic files; however, the fracture was influenced by the file types.
目的:研究加热灌洗液对往复根管锉抗循环疲劳性能的影响。材料与方法:将Reciproc Blue、ProDesign S和X1-Blue锉浸入5.25% NaClO和2%二光酸氯己定凝胶的冲洗液中，37℃烤箱加热10 min。同样条件下，以生理盐水为对照。考虑以下组(n=15): RSs (Reciproc Blue +生理盐水);RNa (Reciproc Blue + 5.25% NaClO);RCd (Reciproc Blue + 2%二光酸氯己定凝胶);PSs (ProDesign S +生理盐水);PNa (ProDesign S + 5.25% NaClO);PCd (ProDesign S + 2%二光酸氯己定凝胶;XSs (X1-Blue +生理盐水溶液);XNa (X1-Blue + 5.25% NaClO)和XCd (X1 Blue + 2%二光酸氯己定凝胶)。循环疲劳试验采用60度弯管、5 mm半径的装置浸泡在37℃的水中。文件失效时间以秒为单位记录，以计算断裂周期数(NCF)。数据进行方差分析，然后进行Tukey检验(α=0.05%)，比较分裂图(SPSS 26.0)。结果:在所有文件类型中，灌洗液与对照的NCF无统计学差异。与Reciproc Blue和X1 Blue相比，ProDesign S在所有灌洗液和对照中均表现出更大且显著的差异。结论:各文件类型的NCF值不受溶液的影响。在所有文件类型中，ProDesign S的NCF值较高，X1-Blue的NCF值较低。临床意义:加热冲洗液与往复根管锉的抗折性无关;然而，骨折受锉型的影响。

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound effects on oral healthcare services globally. Objective: The main objective of this study was to determine the impact of COVID -19 pandemic lockdown on clinical dental practice in Nigeria and discuss how adverse impact could be mitigated. Methods: A cross-sectional self-administered pre-tested questionnaire-based survey of consenting dental practitioners from different States and geopolitical zones in Nigeria was employed for the study. Study participants were recruited by non-random convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Results: A total of 105 out of 142 respondents completed and returned the survey questionnaire giving a response rate of 74%. While only about 47% of respondents in public sector practice had their clinics shut down, all the respondents in private sector practice (100%) had their clinics closed down during the pandemic lockdown and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.000). Majority of respondents in private sector practice (65.4%) experienced income loss compared to 24.1% of respondents in public sector practice and this difference was also statistically significant (p=0.000). Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with government instituted lockdown periods with attendant scaling down or outright closure of dental clinical practices in Nigeria. The private sector practice bore the brunt of the adverse impacts of the pandemic lockdown in terms practice shutdowns and attendant economic losses. The adverse impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on clinical dental practice could be mitigated by the incorporation of teledentistry into routine dental practice.

Aims: There is a controversy regarding the indication of implant insertion into the sockets of infected teeth. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of immediate implants replacing periapically infected teeth utilizing Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) method. Materials and Methods: Preoperatively, clinical, and radiographic examination accomplished for the patients. After anesthetizing the surgical area, the accused tooth extracted, and the socket curetted by surgical curette to remove the periapical lesion then irrigated by normal saline solution. The implant inserted into its prepared site. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) (combined by collagen membrane) used to fill gaps ≥ 2 mm and to repair bone defects. Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were measured for the implants during surgery and after 16 weeks. Postoperative clinical and radiographic evaluation were conducted for each patient. Results: Fourteen implants out of 41 immediate implants (34.1%) had been inserted in the extraction sockets of teeth have chronic periapical lesions (infected sites), T-test showed no significant difference in implant stability (ISQ value) between implant placed in infected and non-infected sites neither at baseline nor at 16-weeks. Paired t-test showed highly significant increase in implant stability (ISQ value) of implants placed in infected sites while in the other implants the mean ISQ value increased with no significant difference during the healing period. The success rate was 100% after 4 years of implantation. Conclusions: Presence of periapical lesion is not a contraindication to place immediate implant when properly managed and can provide similar survival rate to that of implants inserted into healthy sockets.

Introduction: Pandemics have affected and will continue to affect humankind. Historically the Human Immunodeficiency Virus changed the way dental clinics operate and the COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented closure of dental clinics leading to short- and long-term impact on oral health. Aim: To assess the impact on oral health and related behaviours related to modern pandemics. Method: A literature search across eighteen electronic databases was conducted. Three reviewers screened 2029 articles against inclusion criteria and assessed quality. Included articles underwent thematic analysis, followed by narrative synthesis to describe the results. Results: Forty-eight articles were included that identified themes: (i) oral health related quality of life, (ii) stress and pandemics, (iii) oral health behaviours, (iv) social capital, (v) access to oral healthcare, (vi) fear as a barrier to accessing oral healthcare and (vii) teledentistry. Conclusion: Pandemics present multiple challenges to both individuals and oral health professionals that impact on oral health and these challenges disproportionately affect the most vulnerable communities. However, with the right support, these impacts can be mitigated through social capital and support to establish healthy routines. The use of digital technologies should be promoted to reach all communities before the next pandemic arrives.

Historically the Human Immunodeficiency Virus changed the way dental clinics operate and the COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented closure of dental clinics leading to short- and long-term impact on oral health. \u0000\u0000\u0000Aim: To assess the impact on oral health and related behaviours related to modern pandemics. \u0000\u0000\u0000Method: A literature search across eighteen electronic databases was conducted. Three reviewers screened 2029 articles against inclusion criteria and assessed quality. Included articles underwent thematic analysis, followed by narrative synthesis to describe the results. \u0000\u0000\u0000Results: Forty-eight articles were included that identified themes: (i) oral health related quality of life, (ii) stress and pandemics, (iii) oral health behaviours, (iv) social capital, (v) access to oral healthcare, (vi) fear as a barrier to accessing oral healthcare and (vii) teledentistry. \u0000\u0000\u0000Conclusion: Pandemics present multiple challenges to both individuals and oral health professionals that impact on oral health and these challenges disproportionately affect the most vulnerable communities.

Conventional bridges are considered the standard treatment for single missing teeth with a good clinical outcome, but it is an invasive treatment. The introduction of new ceramic materials becomes a useful treatment option for premolar and molar replacement, and high demand of conservative restoration with metal free materials has become more important for both, clinicians and patients. The present article is a case report that present a patient who was treated by a resin-bonded zirconia bridge showing a follow up of seven years.

Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of teeth, is etiologically associated with a subset of pathogenic organisms that thrive in the anoxic niche provided by the diseased periodontal pockets. These anaerobic gram-negative organisms resident in plaque biofilm and causing an overwhelming chronic inflammatory response in periodontal tissues have also been associated with other systemic chronic inflammatory diseases like cardiovascular, renal, and adverse pregnancy outcomes as per literature being published for the past twenty years or more. This paper aims to provide an overview on the biological plausibility of a strong association between systemic seeding of pathogenic oral bacteria and chronic bowel diseases like Inflammatory Bowel Diseases by reviewing recent literature from open-source journals on the same topic. Knowledge of the association between oral bacteria and gut inflammatory diseases will help in broadening the preventive and therapeutic options available currently by suggesting measures to suppress the systemic hyper-immune response.
