Purpose/Objectives: While improvements have been made in the amount of opioid prescriptions written by dentists, studies continue to show wide variability in opioid prescribing practices among dentists, suggesting additional education in this area is needed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate opioid knowledge, attitudes and prescribing behaviors among dental school students. Methods: The authors conducted a web-based survey of dental students at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry from 2016 through 2018. The survey was comprised of demographic information, student knowledge of clinical and regulatory interventions to reduce prescription opioid abuse, student attitudes and knowledge regarding the magnitude and causes of opioid misuse and abuse, and student opioid prescribing patterns. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine whether calendar time or progression in the dental program were associated with differences in survey responses. Results: The response rate was 43.67% for a total of 586 dental student participants over the course of this study. The knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding opioid use and abuse among dental students was influenced by both the dental school program curriculum as well as the passage of time during which the evolution of students views and awareness about opioids impacted their responses. Conclusions: Misperceptions and a lack of knowledge influence dental student attitudes and behaviors related to prescription opioids. Understanding the influence of the dental school curriculum and the passage of time on dental students’ knowledge, attitudes, and prescribing behavior may assist in guiding the development of dental curriculum to improve best practices in pain management and prevent the misuse, abuse, and diversion of prescription opioids. Academic dentistry plays a significant role in targeting gaps in student knowledge and understanding that will lead to the development and consistent implementation of best practices for pain management and safe opioid prescribing in dentistry

Introduction: Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a rare bony lesion in the Head and Neck region. It is a non-odontogenic tumor never seen in any other bone of the skeleton. It is an intraosseous lesion consisting of cellular fibrous tissue that contains multiple foci of hemorrhage, aggregations of multinucleated giant cells and occasionally trabeculae of woven bone. Case Report: We report a case of a 50-year-old female patient with swelling on the right side of face for 4 months. Intraoral examination shows a mass in right lower jaw in the region of 45 and 46 edentulous areas. The swelling had smooth surface, firm and tender on palpation. There was no expansion of lingual region. The radiological examination revealed a well-defined multiloculated expansile and lytic lesion in the right mandible, extending from the 44 to 47 with a resorption of teeth 44. The patient underwent incisional biopsy and the diagnosis of CGCG and brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism was proposed. According to the clinical radiological and biological findings, the diagnosis of CGCG was confirmed. The enucleation of the lesion with the extraction of 44 was done. Discussion: Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign intraosseous lesion of the head and neck with potential for aggressive and locally destructive behaviour. Lesions of the maxilla tend to expand more than those of the mandible due to the thinner cortices and spongy tissue of this location. Surgical removal is the most common treatment; however, it may be disfiguring in aggressive cases, especially for lesions located in the maxilla. Alternative treatments, such as intralesional corticosteroid injections, have been performed with satisfactory results.

Odontoma is defined as calcifying benign odontogenic tumor composed of various tooth tissues such as enamel, dentin, pulp, and cementum and representing the second most common odontogenic tumor of the jaw bones. These lesions are often associated with impacted permanent teeth. They are usually small, asymptomatic and diagnosed after routine radiographic examination. The aim of this work was to report a case of a compound odontoma in the anterior maxilla of a 35-year-old woman, which was causing the impaction of the maxillary left central incisor. A removal of the tumor was planned. An orthodontic approach was proposed as a surgical procedure for orthodontic traction of the impacted tooth. After 12 months, the clinical and radiographic examination revealed the eruption of the impacted incisor. The recommended treatment of compound odontoma is the complete removal of the tumour. An orthodontic approach may be indicated to correct any malocclusion or to perform the traction of the tooth, due to a possible impaction.

Introduction: Oral and hypopharyngeal mucositis are considered acute effects of great importance of radiotherapy. Patients present painful ulcers, dysphagia, odynophagia and difficulties in speaking, which can lead to malnutrition and treatment discontinuation. Currently, photobiomodulation therapy, using low-level laser therapy is the treatment of choice for oral mucositis. Objective: To propose the use of extraoral laser therapy to treat odynophagia associated with radioinduced hypopharyngeal mucositis. Methods: Pilot study divided into two stages: (1) Anatomical study in cadavers, to select the best area of application of the extraoral laser in the cervical region to reach the hypopharynx. In this stage, we opted for the use of low-level light therapy (XXXXX®), continuous mode, λ660nm, 100mW power, 0.028cm2 spot. (2) Application of extraoral photobiomodulation for patients with odynophagia associated with oral and hypopharyngeal mucositis. The same low-level laser therapy (XXXXX®,) was used, but with λ808nm, 100mW power and 4J energy, 40 pulses per point. Reports of three patients who underwent treatment were collected, transcribed and reviewed qualitatively. Results: (1) The anatomical region that allowed better access of extraoral laser therapy to the hypopharynx was the carotid triangle. (2) Patients reported reduced odynophagia and greater comfort with the use of this treatment. Conclusion: The carotid trigone was the best extraoral region for laser application to reach the hypopharyngeal region. The laser therapy protocol applied in this region brought comfort to the patients assessed. Further studies are needed to assess the analgesic capacity of this treatment.

Craniofacial Necrotizing Fasciitis is an extremely rare entity, whose most frequent location is the pelvis and thoracic limbs, and some cases have been reported in the abdomen. On the other hand, a very low incidence has been reported in the head and neck region, 5% of cases with Necrotizing Fasciitis are mentioned in the literature. The name of this disease is related to the area in which it occurs, when it is located in the face and cervical region it is called Cervicofacial. In the same way when it affects beyond the middle facial third and the scalp it is called Craniofacial. Due to the different anatomical locations, it is essential to perform computed tomography, to provide early diagnosis, management, and a better prognosis to the patient. Craniofacial Necrotizing Fasciitis etiology is diverse, two of the main associated factors are the immunosuppression and comorbidities, which make the patient more susceptible to a possible complication. Some of the Craniofacial Necrotizing Fasciitis complications are sepsis, hemodynamic disorders and death. The most frequent antimicrobial biota found in Craniofacial Necrotizing Fasciitis is anaerobic and includes Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria, consequently, it is necessary to provide prompt antimicrobial treatment and aggressive surgical resection. This article present a clinical case of a patient with Craniofacial Necrotizing Fasciitis, who received a multidisciplinary treatment at the Specialty Hospital, National Medical Center, IMSS, located in Mexico City. The object of this article is to demonstrated the rapid spread and complications of Craniofacial Necrotizing Fasciitis.

Buccal exostosis is bony prominence located on buccal side of alveolar ridge of maxilla or mandible. It is commonly seen in maxilla than mandible, whereas the etiology remains unclear. This article presents a rare case of bilateral maxillary buccal exostosis, distomolars and polydactyly along with surgical management of exostosis. A 39-year-old male patient came to the dental OPD with a chief complain of swelling in the right and left back region of upper jaw from 12 years, which was a cosmetic concern to the patient. Patient was medically healthy with no familial history of gingival overgrowth. On examination, patient had polydactyly and bilateral mandibular distomolars. These isolated findings couldn’t be related to any syndrome after thorough examination and medical consultation. Finally, the treatment plan consisted of, oral hygiene instructions, mechanical debridement and periodontal resective osseous surgery, so as to reduce gingival inflammation and improve esthetic by removing the exostosis. Nonsurgical periodontal therapy alone did not reduce the gingival enlargement because of the bony nature of enlargement, thus necessitating surgical intervention. Post-operative evaluation at 1, 3 and 12 months reveled an uneventful healing and no sign of recurrence at surgical sites.

Objectives: This in vitro study evaluated the release of organic compounds by composite KaloreTM (GC FUJI) and FiltekTM Silorane (3M ESPE) by means of fluorescence spectrometry, varying the source of curing light, the immersion solution and the pH of these immersions. Methods: 56 specimens were made for each composite, 28 polymerized with halogen light and 28 with LED light. Samples of each composite were stored in water with neutral or acidic pH and in saliva with acidic or neutral pH (n=7 specimens for each condition examined). The reading was performed between 1 and 672 hours (28 days).The results were statistically analyzed using the Tukey and ANOVA tests, adopting the significance level of 5%. Results: The KaloreTM resin released more organic compounds than FiltekTMSilorane in the aqueous environment, either in the polymerization by the halogen light as by the LED light in both pHs (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in aqueous environment, only when polymerized by halogen light and acid pH (p>0.05). When immersed in artificial saliva, the KaloreTM resin also released more organic compounds than FiltekTMSilorane, but there was only statistically significant difference when polymerized by LED light, both in neutral pH and at acid pH. Both resins released greater amount of organic compounds in aqueous solution, compared to saliva, regardless of the light source and pH (p<0.05). Conclusion: Even the most modern resins such as KaloreTM and FiltekTM Silorane release organic compounds and the polymerization by LED light decreases the liberation of organic compounds by FiltekTM Silorane resin.

Volume 2(2): 1-3 Prior to 1985, low back pain was the most commonly reported musculoskeletal disorder or repetitive injury for dentists and dental hygienists. Since then, there has been a rise in MusculoSkeletal Disorders from extended work days, awkward postures, prolonged standing/unsupported sitting, and a host of other problems caused by poorly designed workstations, improper work habits, and instruments that are difficult to manipulate. Dentists and hygienists are required to perform physically challenging work with the muscles of their arms and hands almost constantly moving during the day, while trying to provide the highest quality of care for each member. The current workstation in most dental offices requires that the practitioner lean forward, flex his neck forward and laterally, hold his shoulders abducted and his arms flexed, with this position being held statically for most of the workday. Dentists need to tightly grip thin, sharp instruments and make a high volume of short, forceful movements with the muscles of their wrists and hands to treat heavy calculus and other conditions. The human body is not built to handle these kinds of stresses, and the positions in which dentists repeatedly put themselves through their work place them at great risk for developing MSDs [1].

Mandibular defects arising as a result of trauma, infections or ablative tumor surgery usually cause significant facial deformity, functional disabilities, and psychological problems. Successful prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with partially resected edentulous mandible can be an especially challenging task for a prosthodontist. Apart from the deviation of the remaining mandibular segment, other dysfunctions are observed in mastication, speech, swallowing, respiration, salivary control and mandibular movements which can severely compromise the prosthetic prognosis. Hence, it becomes imperative to judiciously apply the basic principles of denture construction in such cases to obtain optimum retention, stability, support, esthetics & function. The present case report describes the successful prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous mandibulectomy patient using two rows of non-anatomic teeth on the unresected side of the maxillary prosthesis. The inner (palatal) row helped in restoring the function while the outer (buccal) row improved the cheek support and esthetics. Non-anatomic teeth were used to minimize the lateral displacing forces and enhance the stability of the dentures. The incorporation of twin-occlusion in this case helped in achieving a satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcome of treatment.

Successful prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with partially resected edentulous mandible can be an especially challenging task for a prosthodontist. Apart from the deviation of the remaining mandibular segment, other dysfunctions are observed in mastication, speech, swallowing, respiration, salivary control and mandibular movements which can severely compromise the prosthetic prognosis. Hence, it becomes imperative to judiciously apply the basic principles of denture construction in such cases to obtain optimum retention, stability, support, esthetics & function. The present case report describes the successful prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous mandibulectomy patient using two rows of non-anatomic teeth on the unresected side of the maxillary prosthesis. The inner (palatal) row helped in restoring the function while the outer (buccal) row improved the cheek support and esthetics. Non-anatomic teeth were used to minimize the lateral displacing forces and enhance the stability of the dentures. The incorporation of twin-occlusion in this case helped in achieving a satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcome of treatment.","PeriodicalId":259053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Science Research Reviews & Reports","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114268355","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}

Supernumerary teeth are those which are additional or in excess of the normal number. They can be present anywhere in the dental arch with predilection for the premaxilla. They can cause many complications, the most common being the delayed eruption of permanent teeth. Early diagnosis and management can minimize the potential complications caused by supernumerary teeth and the extent of surgery and orthodontic treatment. Aim: This case report highlights the problem of delayed eruption of permanent maxillary left central incisor in a 9-year-old boy due to a supernumerary tooth. After surgical removal and 18 months of follow up, the left permanent central incisor erupted.
