Objectives. To assess the type and distribution of dento-periodontal traumas in mixed dentition in a group of children aged 3-9 years who seek consultation and treatment in the Pedodontics Department of the Faculty of Dentistry. Material and methods. Retrospective descriptive observational descriptive study performed on 114 children (67 boys) aged 3-9 years, (mean age - 5.65 ± 1.45 years) with dento-periodontal trauma to temporary teeth (dt) and permanent teeth (PT), which occurred in Bucharest Pedodontics Clinic during 2015-2019. The recorded data were obtained from the emergency register of this clinic. The distribution of patients according to age, sex, environment, etiology, age and location of trauma and number of affected teeth was assessed and the distribution of affected teeth was analyzed according to the type of dentition affected, topography of affected teeth and emergency treatment performed. Results. The most frequent traumas for dt were registered at the age of 3 years, and for DP at the age of 7-8 years. Boys were more affected than girls (58.77% and 41.23%, respectively; NS, p > 0.05). 63% of patients came from urban areas and 37% from rural areas. Most injuries (64.03%) were caused by accidental falling children. 50.87% of patients presented to the clinic less than 24 hours after the accident. 55.27% of the traumas occurred in the internal environment. Most patients (87.71%) had 1 or 2 affected teeth. 41% of the traumas were at DP and 59% at dt. At DP there were 21.57% dental injuries and 19.12% periodontal injuries. At dt 11.76% were dental traumas and 47.54% periodontal. The upper frontals were the most affected teeth at both dentitions. Conclusions. Dento-periodontal injuries are a common pathology in this age group and it is important to make the persons around children aware of the importance of their prevention.

Maternal oral pathologies during pregnancy represent a controversial subject. The incidence of periodontal disease is approximatively 40% among pregnant women. Periodontal disease has been associated with several unfortunate outcomes; among them, the most important are cardiovascular disorders, respiratory infections, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Regarding mechanisms, bacteria enter the blood stream and cross the placenta or the inflammatory mediators can affect the fetoplacental unit or generate an increased inflammatory response with subsequent consequences on the fetus. The most disputed subjects concerning periodontal disease in pregnancy are related to the effects on the pregnancy outcome and the offspring, respectively the associations between maternal periodontal disease and small for gestational age, preeclampsia, arteriosclerosis, gestational diabetes and perinatal mortality. In order to improve neonatal outcome and ensure maternal oral health, we should assure that the necessary dental treatment is provided during the entire pregnancy, preferably between 14 and 20 gestational weeks. Moreover, women should be encouraged to received dental treatment preconceptionally.

The aim of this report is to describe the lichen planus on the oral mucosa in the bullous variant of the disease. It is often misdiagnosed with other mucosa disorders (allergies, bullous dermatosis). A 37-year-old-female patient presented for oral mucosa painful lesions of 3 months duration. A microscopic examination of the lesional areas was consistent with the diagnosis of oral lichen planus and direct immunofluorescence confirmed it. This case showed that although a rare condition the variant of bullous lichen planus can be encountered in daily clinical practice.

The problem of hormonal imbalance in periodontal diseases, as well as the importance of endocrine diseases in its development, plays a significant role. In the professional literature there are data that thyroid disease is a risk factor for the occurrence and further progression of periodontal diseases. The processes of bone modeling and remodeling and its mineralization are closely related to calcium metabolism. The biochemical manifestation of osteoporotic processes in the alveolar bone in generalized periodontitis is a violation of calcium-phosphorus homeostasis against the background of altered markers of bone metabolism. The aim of our investigation was to study the calcium-phosphorus homeostasis of the oral fluid in patients with primary hypothyroidism and persons without endocrine pathology, with generalized periodontitis. Since in the structure of periodontal diseases in the study groups generalized periodontitis of the initial-I and II degree had the largest percentage, biochemical studies were performed in this sample of patients. The first group included 50 people with generalized periodontitis against the background of primary hypothyroidism: 25 patients – with generalized periodontitis of the initial-I degree and 25 patients with generalized periodontitis of the II degree of development. The second group included 50 patients with generalized periodontitis without endocrinological pathology (25 patients with GP of the initial-I degree and 25 patients with GP of the II degree of development). In young people with generalized periodontitis, against the background of hypothyroidism, there were observed negative changes in calcium-phosphorus homeostasis of the oral fluid: there was a tendency to the decrease of calcium content in the oral fluid with the development of inflammatory-dystrophic process in the periodontium, on the contrary, phosphorus level has increased. Negative dynamics of calcium-phosphorus molar coefficient was found in patients with hypofunction of the thyroid gland. Thus, the analysis of research results shows that in young people with periodontal diseases and hypothyroidism there is a pathological change in metabolic processes, increased excretion of mineral components, especially calcium. Periodontal pathology against the background of hypothyroidism is characterized by the development of a chronic inflammatory process together with a pronounced decrease in calcium-phosphorus homeostasis of the oral fluid.

Dental bleaching is a method of treatment for tooth discoloration that uses hydrogen peroxide in various concentrations. For this dental maneuver to be successful, the etiological diagnosis of dental dyschromia and the treatment plan must be rigorously established. In this article we present the criteria underlying the selection of patients who can benefit from dental bleaching, grouped in a questionnaire. Adequate case selection suitable for teeth whitening, as well as the appropriate choice of the specific bleaching method are essential in obtaining satisfactory aesthetic result for the patient, immediately after completing the treatment, but also in the long term.

Lactoferrin is a cationic glycoprotein found in different compartments of the body and secreted mostly by glandular epithelia and neutrophils. Although initially considered that its functions derive solely from its iron-binding capacity, further research demonstrated the pleiotropic nature of the glycoprotein. Thereby, lactoferrin fulfills various essential physiological functions based on its anti-infectious, immunomodulatory and antioxidative properties. In the oral cavity, lactoferrin is an central component of the local defense mechanisms, and based on its versatility, it can prevent the occurrence and progression of different local pathologies, including periodontitis. Microbiological and inflammatory periodontitis-induced modifications influence the local levels of secreted lactoferrin, the protein becoming a potential diagnosis biomarker of periodontal disease. Moreover, lactoferrin has a potential adjunctive therapeutic benefit in periodontal treatment, based on the interference of the biomolecule with local microorganisms, its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activity. Additionally, the adverse effects of lactoferrin administration seem less evident as compared to other adjunctive agents. Thus, the present study aims to review the most important characteristics of lactoferrin in different oral pathologies, particularly in periodontitis.

The route of delivery influences the gut microbiota and the development of the immune system. At the moment of birth, cesarean section infants have a lower diversity of bacteria when compared to naturally born infants. The delivery mode does influence the oral cavity colonization of infants, but there is no relevant association with dental caries.

The aim of this study was to determine whether or not the analysis of maximal intercuspation, protrusive and laterotrusive movements requires an additional digital method of occlusal diagnosis using the T-Scan™ Novus™ device (TekScan). In this observational study, we retrospectively examined a number of 10 subjects which were divided into 2 groups: the 1st group involved patients with intact dental arches and the 2nd group with patients that had received implant-supported restorations. The methods of analysis involved the calibrated articulating paper of 200 and 40 micrometers, and also the T-Scan™ Novus™ device (TekScan). The following data were collected: contact points in maximum intercuspation (functional and premature contacts), the pairs of teeth performing protrusion and right/left laterotrusion, active/passive interferences and premature contacts during protrusion and right/left laterotrusion. Descriptive statistics were obtained using the MedCalc Statistical Software version 19.2.6 (MedCalc Soft-ware bv, Ostend, Belgium) and Microsoft Excel for MAC 2011. It was tested if a statistically significant difference existed between the diagnostic methods regarding the number of contact points. The T test for independent samples without the assumption of equal variances and the Mann-Whitney test was used (to which we reported the medians of the 2 subgroups and the P value adjusted for equalities) and also the magnitude of association using the Chi-square test (p value) was measured. Also it was studied the correlation between the number of premature contacts and the number of contact points, respectively, obtained by each diagnostic method, and we expressed the results through the Spearman correlation coefficient. The analysis of the maximum intercuspation, of the protrusive and the laterotrusive movements has shown comparable results using the two examination methods. There were no statistically significant differences between the two methods of analyzing dental occlusion.
本研究的目的是确定最大咬合间、前伸和后伸运动的分析是否需要使用T-Scan进行咬合诊断的额外数字方法™ Novus™ 设备（TekScan）。在这项观察性研究中，我们对10名受试者进行了回顾性检查，这些受试者被分为两组：第一组涉及完整牙弓的患者，第二组涉及接受植入物支持修复的患者。分析方法包括200微米和40微米的校准铰接纸，以及T形扫描™ Novus™ 设备（TekScan）。收集了以下数据：最大咬合间的接触点（功能性接触和过早接触）、进行突出和右/左后突出的成对牙齿、突出和左/右后突出期间的主动/被动干扰和过早接触。使用MedCalc统计软件19.2.6版（MedCalc软件公司，Ostend，Belgium）和Microsoft Excel for MAC 2011获得描述性统计数据。测试了诊断方法之间在接触点数量方面是否存在统计学上的显著差异。在不假设方差相等的情况下，使用独立样本的T检验和Mann-Whitney检验（我们报告了2个亚组的中位数和根据等式调整的P值），还使用卡方检验测量了关联程度（P值）。此外，还研究了每种诊断方法分别获得的过早接触次数和接触点数量之间的相关性，并通过Spearman相关系数表示结果。使用这两种检查方法对最大咬合、前伸和后伸运动的分析显示出可比较的结果。两种分析牙齿咬合的方法之间没有统计学上的显著差异。

Dental extraction is followed by decreases in alveolar volume, vertically and horizontally. This retrospective study measured vertical alveolar resorption after insertion of immediate implants, using OPG, without CBCT or additional radiographs. Patients were randomly split in two groups A (57 implants) and B (47 implants). Measurements were made by two independent observers. The types of implants were: Exacta (Biaggini Medical Devices), Nova, Dentix Millenium and Surcam. The method was based on the size of the implant and another common element of the two radiographs. It used an optimal radiologic exposure. It can be generalized to other studies. Similar results measured in the two groups showed that alveolar remodeling does not depend on the type of the implant. Half of the alveoli did not have any resorption. Another quarter showed barely perceptible clinical resorption (1-2 mm). In the last quarter were registered all the notable resorptions that were associated with various factors (temporary mobile prosthesis, surgical flap, medication and some health problems, smoking, etc.) showing real situations, not ideal conditions. Maximum resorption was unique (7.63 mm).

In order to verify the concordance of the bone development indices (SMI) estimated on the hand and fist radiograph by the method of Fishman (1982) and the indices of development of the cervical vertebrae (CVMS), estimated on the profile teleradiography by the method of Baccetti (2002), was conducted a cross-sectional study on a group of 150 subjects (89 girls and 61 boys), aged 8-18 years. Based on the existing data in the literature and taking into account the average ages at which the SMI and CVMS stages were reached in the research group, a hypothesis of correspondence between SMI and CVMS stages in the pubertal stages was issued and this hypothesis was statistically verified using the coefficient Cohen k. The obtained results (k = 0.82 for the girls 'group and k = 0.67 for the boys' group) confirm the concordance of the SMI and CVMS indices within the researched group and validate the correspondence hypothesis issued.
