The term “Nano” refers to a unit of measurement that is equal to one billionth of a kilometer (10-9). To get closer to “how much Nano is”, it is worthy to know that the length of a normal human being ranges from one and a half to two meters, while, if we move to something smaller, such as a mobile phone, it can be measured by 12 cm, and if we move to smaller things, ants for example are about 2 mm long, while if we take a human hair, its diameter measures about 100 micrometers. Viruses are much smaller ranging in size between 30 and 50 nanometers, and a DNA molecule has a size of about 2.5 nanometers. Taking into account that the approximate size of the sun is 1.4 billion meters, this means that a nanoparticle for a human is the same as the size of a human in relation to the sun [1].

evaluate the surgeon's impact on intraoperative blood Secondary to evaluate the difference in between Operative each procedure. Abstract Objective: Several patients and operator related factors have been confirmed to be of importance for blood loss in orthognathic surgery, e.g., type of surgical intervention and operative time. However, the surgeon's impact has been studied only to a limited extent. Thus, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the surgeon's impact on intraoperative blood loss. Methods: Clinical data was gathered retrospectively for all osteotomies performed by three different experienced surgeons between January 1 st , 2013 to December 31 st , 2016 at a regional centre for orthognathic surgery at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden. Results: A total of 179 patients (92 women and 87 men) who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy, Bilateral Sagittal Split osteotomy, or Bi-maxillary osteotomy were included. No statistically significant difference was seen between the three surgeons for intraoperative blood loss. Conclusion: Intraoperative blood loss during orthognathic surgery is not operator dependent when experienced surgeons are compared.
评估外科医生对术中血液的影响其次是评估不同手术之间的差异。【摘要】目的:研究证实了与患者及术者相关的因素对正颌手术出血量的影响，如手术干预方式、手术时间等。然而，外科医生的影响只在有限的程度上进行了研究。因此，本研究的主要目的是评估外科医生对术中出血量的影响。方法:回顾性收集2013年1月1日至2016年12月31日在瑞典哥德堡Sahlgrenska大学医院区域正颌外科中心由三名经验丰富的外科医生进行的所有截骨手术的临床资料。结果:179例患者(女性92例，男性87例)分别行Le Fort I型截骨术、双侧矢状劈裂截骨术和双颌截骨术。三名外科医生术中出血量差异无统计学意义。结论:与经验丰富的外科医生比较，正颌手术术中出血量与操作人员无关。

Bioactive silicate glass-based (PerioGlas®) has been previously used to enhance periodontal bone regeneration. However, the degradation of this glass in the body fluid generates a high pH (>8) which may enhance the growth of periodontopathic bacteria, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis ( P. gingivalis ) thereby inhibiting osteoblastic activity. The aim of this study was to: (i) develop a mixture of a phosphate and silicate glass to produce a more neutral pH environment where the alkaline pH arising from the bioactive silicate glass can be offset by the acidity of phosphate glass, (ii) whether the alkaline phosphatase enzyme (ALP) when added to the silicate/phosphate glass mixture can enzymatically hydrolyse the Q2 metaphosphate chains to release Q0 orthophosphate species that can be used in forming apatite and bone mineralization. For this purpose, nine compositions of bioactive silicate/ phosphate glass-mixtures were prepared. The glass bioactivity was performed by immersing the prepared glass mixtures in ALP containing Tris buffer solution. The pH change in solutions was measured as a function of time. The glass mixtures degradation and apatite formation were investigated by 31P Solid and 31P Solution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. The results showed that the pH behaviour was modulated by immersing the glass-mixtures in buffered solutions. Solid and Solution NMR revealed that the terminal Q1 species belonging to the Q2-metaphosphate chains was hydrolysed by the ALP and converted into a Q0 orthophosphate species. In conclusion, the glass mixtures regulated the pH through its degradation stepwise on immersion. The output of the NMR spectra significantly supported the enzymatic degradation of glass mixtures with ALP enabling apatite precipitation for new bone formation. The concept of using silicate/phosphate glass mixtures with ALP is innovative and pioneering technology, suggesting its potentiality to develop new biomedical materials for different applications.

This re-audit of paediatric exodontia under general anaesthetic assessed seventy one patients’ GA records across three boroughs in the directorate Bury, Oldham and Rochdale between 02/01/2020 to 17/03/2020. It assessed compliance with Pennine Care local guidelines including: • The justification for GA • Attendance at a dedicated POA • Pre-operative radiographs and their justification • Pre-operative restorations • Were patients caries free following GA? • Were guidelines adhered to when extracting FPM’s including orthodontic considerations? • Were first permanent molars balanced/compensated where appropriate? • Were all poor prognosis deciduous teeth extracted under GA? • Was appropriate consideration given to balancing/compensating extractions? • Record keeping standards • Were patients appropriately discharged/reviewed? Results were varied and showed good compliance with some parts of the guidelines such as 70/71 (98.6%) patients having dedicated POA in the re-audit. The percentage of patients with a dedicated oral health appointment rose from 13.9% (11/79) for Cycle 1 to 38.0% (27/71) for Cycle 2 which is a 24.1% improvement. The percentage of patients without documented justification for a lack of radiographs dropped from 26.5% (9/34) for Cycle 1 to 9.1% (3/33) for Cycle 2. This shows a 17.4% improvement. There were improvements in the numbers of patients having appropriate balancing extractions for unilaterally carious deciduous canines: 6/9 (66.7%) for Cycle 1 and 11/13 (84.6%) for Cycle 2. This shows an improvement of 17.9% 24/26 of patients (92.3%) in Cycle 2 who had planned extraction of FPM’s had pre-operative x-rays and there were some improvements in the number of patients with documented orthodontic considerations compared to Cycle 1. For example: The number of patients with documented assessment of crowding rose from 16.7% (4/24) in Cycle 1 to 85.2% (23/27) in Cycle 2. This is a 71.8% improvement. The percentage of patients who were advised of the risk of future mesial tipping or malocclusion of the second permanent molars rose from 8.3% (2/24) in C1 to 57.7% (15/26) in C2. This is a 49.4% improvement. 94.3% (67/71) of patients were caries free following completion of GA in the re-audit whereas the target is 100%. However, some of these findings appear to be record keeping errors. Greater consistency is needed regarding record keeping as well as the post-operative review/discharge process. A greater awareness of the guidelines would be helpful.

Objectives: The aim of this cross-sectional questionnaire study was to evaluate the perception and preferences of Greek dentists who either specialised in or had an interest in periodontal regenerative procedures and to compare the results with corresponding findings from two previous studies from different countries. Materials and methods: The questionnaire was divided in two main sections and included multiple choice and/or open/closed questions. The first section consisted of six questions and was designed to collect demographic data of the sample and the second section, consisting of 15 questions, included general questions regarding periodontal regeneration procedures and questions based on specific clinical cases. 200 questionnaires were distributed at selected venues in Greece by the investigators. The participants were given one month to complete and return to the questionnaires to the School of Dentistry in Thessaloniki. Statistical analysis: Data management and analysis was performed using both Microsoft Excel 2007® (Microsoft Corporation, Reading, UK) and SPSS® version 22.0 software (IBM United Kingdom Ltd, Portsmouth, UK). Frequencies and associations between the demographic profiles of the participants were evaluated and presented in the form of frequency tables, charts, and figures. Results: 104 questionnaires (67 males, 37 females: mean age 43.2 years [±9.8]) (52% response rate) were received. Of those who responded 56.7% (n=59) specialized in Periodontics and 43.3% (n=45) specialized in a variety of other dental disciplines (General Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Implantology). Guided tissue regeneration procedures and the use of enamel matrix derivative were recommended for the reconstruction of bony defects and both subepithelial connective tissue graft and coronally advanced flap with or without enamel matrix derivative were the most popular choices for root coverage. Smoking was considered a contraindication by most of the participants and conflicting responses were given regarding the use of antibiotics as part of the post-operative care following regenerative procedures.

Intraoral swellings are a clinical presentation of a wide range of pathology, and clinicians should use a diagnostic sieve to rule out possible causes (Figure 1). Often intra-oral swellings can be associated with a non-vital tooth, which can cause a periapical abscess, whereby bacteria and their associated toxins spread through the apical foramen of a tooth and cause abscess formation [1]. Chronic infection in the apical tissues can initiate the development of an inflammatory cyst.

Background: This article provides an overview of denture plaque as both a microbiota community and a biofilm. The most promising strategies to ascertain the differences between biofilms formed by commensal populations and those related to increased pathogenesis and persistent infections This literature review covers the microbial communities colonizing dentures and their relationship to oral health. Supported by in vivo and in vitro studies, we highlight emerging–targeting strategies for physical and mechanical therapies intended to limit biofilm formation. Nevertheless, many challenges to eradicating mature biofilms are discussed. Conclusions: Oral biofilms in the denture wearer can be controlled with daily hygiene but cannot be totally eradicated. To prevent the pathogenesis of denture biofilm, the biomass on the denture surface and the bioburden in the oral cavity must be reduced focusing on not only the inhibition of putative pathogens, but also interference with environmental factors that drive selection and enrichment. Clinical implications: An effective oral hygiene regimen targeting dentures, saliva planktonic cells, mucosa, and the remaining teeth, whether or not they are affected by periodontal diseases, is necessary to control biofilm, particularly in the presence of many general diseases.
