Abstract Objectives This study aimed to determine the role of stress in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Stress was examined with the Perceived Stress Scale and cortisol levels; meanwhile, recurrent aphthous stomatitis was assessed with the duration of the lesion. Materials and Methods This was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted at Oral Medicine Installation, Universitas Sumatera Utara Dental Hospital, and Prodia Laboratory, Medan. The subjects were 50 patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, without systemic disease, who did not take systemic drugs or use orthodontic appliances. The diagnosis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis was established with anamnesis and clinical examination. Stress was examined by filling out the Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire and blood tests for serum cortisol levels. Statistical analysis The data were analyzed using the Fisher test and Mann–Whitney U test. Results This study showed no significant relationship between the Perceived Stress Scale category and recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with a p -value of 0.392. This study also showed no significant relationship between blood cortisol level and recurrent aphthous stomatitis with a p -value of 1.000. Conclusion Stress may play an important role in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. However, this study did not show any difference in stress examined through the Perceived Stress Scale and cortisol levels based on the duration of recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

Tricalcium silicate cements have long been used in dentistry for management of open apex. Biodentine was introduced to overcome the disadvantages of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The aim of this systematic review was to compare the success rates of biodentine and MTA as a material of choice for the management of open apex in children with nonvital immature permanent teeth. PubMed/Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were searched until November 30, 2021, with the search terms young permanent teeth, immature permanent teeth, open apex, MTA, and biodentine. Based on the inclusion criteria, the articles were selected following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and assessed for quality using a risk-of-bias assessment tool. The outcomes of the studies were qualitatively synthesized. A total of 379 studies were identified and after refinement only two studies met the eligibility criteria. Both the studies were performed in children with nonvital pulp status. One of the studies showed a clinical success of 91.66% for MTA and 100% for biodentine in revascularization cases while the other study showed 100% for both the materials in apexification cases. Radiographic success was 100% for both the materials at the end of the follow-up period in both the studies. Treatment modality can create heterogeneity that does not allow making a pooled conclusion for the two materials collectively, which is the case in this review where one study used revascularization, while the other used apexification. An overall high risk of bias was noticed for the selected studies. With high risk of bias and low quality of evidence, a strong definitive conclusion cannot be arrived at. Further studies with proper randomization and minimal risk of bias are required to provide a conclusive result. However, as per the included studies, biodentine can be a material of choice for revascularization while both MTA and biodentine can be used for apexification procedures.

Bruxism is considered to be an unusual repetitive movement syndrome, which is described as involuntary gnashing of teeth. The condition is classified as sleep bruxism (SB) and awake bruxism (AB). The objective of the study was to review the current literature on bruxism and its potential relation to stress and movement disorders. Factors causing bruxism are numerous. It has been found that people suffering from stress are more prone to the condition than healthy subjects. Awake bruxism is frequently observed in subjects with hyperkinetic movement disorders and it can be associated with anxiety, which involves the limbic part of the basal ganglia. However, further studies should be conducted to interpret the link more thoroughly.

Abstract Flavonoids are a large group of naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds that are almost universally present in various plant parts such as fruits, berries, leaves, and tubers. These compounds are synthesized in plants in reaction to environmental stressors such as microbial infections. The antioxidant properties in these flavonoids provide us with numerous health benefits. They can be extracted from said natural sources via methods such as maceration and boiling all the way to advanced methods such as microwaves and ultrasounds. Numerous studies have been conducted to research the protective role that flavonoids can play in preventing infectious diseases in humans. The present modalities of treating such infectious diseases rely solely on chemotherapeutic agents and adjunctive therapies such as palliative and supportive care. These chemotherapeutic agents, primarily antibiotics, cause a degeneration of our immunity and an increased susceptibly to several other diseases. Thus, it is crucial that our methods in dealing with infections focus on prevention. This can be achieved by strengthening our immune system, which is the primary line of defense against such diseases. Flavonoids can help boost our immunity, fight infections, and decrease the incidence of antibiotic resistance. Hence, these natural compounds are being largely studied and used as nutraceuticals to supplement our daily diet and successfully reduce the occurrence of major infectious diseases in our body.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to provide an inclusive comparison between the peri-implant phenotype of immediately placed in fresh extraction socket one-piece and two-piece implants with immediate loading in the anterior region. Materials and Methods Twenty-two patients with a mean age of 36 ± 4.6 (4 males and 18 females)) were randomly allocated to the one-piece and the two-piece groups. Each patient had one immediate implant placement with immediate loading by provisional restorations. Gingival Index, Peri-implant Probing depth, Papilla Presence Index, and, Implant Quality Score were recorded at 3, 6, 9 months, and 18 months. Cone beam computerized tomography is utilized to assess peri-implant bone for 1 year. Statistical analysis A two-sample t -test was used to compare the two groups. Results Both groups showed similar clinical presentations. For group two, Gingival Index, Papilla Presence Index, Peri-implant Index, Implant Quality Score, and eri-implant bone level showed statistically significant improvement. Group one showed a non-significant increase in bone density. Conclusions The peri-implant phenotype showed more predictable treatment outcomes in the context of health and esthetics in two-pieces than in one-piece.

Abstract Objectives This Study Aimed To Find The Relationship Between Lack Of Knowledge And Self-Awareness About Temporomandibular Disorders (Tmds) And Their Signs And Symptoms Among Dental Students Of College Of Dentistry, Jazan University, Jazan, KSA. Materials and Methods A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to assess the demographic variables, information regarding self-awareness and knowledge about TMDs among dental students. The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using the IBM SPSS version 20.0 software. Statistical Analysis The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using the IBM SPSS version 20.0 software. Descriptive statistics, that is, frequencies and percentages were computed. The comparative analysis was done using Chi-square statistical analysis. Results Out of 406 participants, 44.08% were male and 55.91% were female. Also, 329 were undergraduate students and 77 were interns. Almost a similar percentage of undergraduates and interns were suffering with trismus, articular sounds, pain, and arthralgia. Interns had more incidence of injuries of the head and neck, and had undergone orthodontic treatment, with a significant difference statistically ( p < 0.05). A significant relation ( p < 0.05) was observed between responses, with interns having better knowledge regarding investigations and treatment interventions. Conclusion A direct relationship exists between the level of knowledge about temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and TMDs and self-awareness of its signs and symptoms. A thorough knowledge is required among the students to investigate, diagnose, and treat TMDs at early stages.

Abstract Objectives This is an in vitro study that aimed to evaluate the ability of different glass ionomer restorations to mask the discoloration produced following silver diamine fluoride (SDF) only and after potassium iodide (KI) application. Materials and Methods Thirty-six extracted human adult posterior teeth were collected. Box-shaped cavities (4 × 2 × 2 mm 3 ) were prepared along the cementoenamel junction. Specimens were randomly divided into two major groups according to the materials applied under the restorations group (A) 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) followed by immediate application of potassium iodide (KI), group (B) 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) only. Each group was further subdivided according to the restorative material applied as follows ( n = 6): subgroup (I) zirconia reinforced glass ionomer, subgroup (II) resin-modified glass ionomer restoration, and subgroup (III) high viscous glass ionomer restoration. Color assessment of all specimens was performed using a reflective spectrophotometer. Specimens' color was assessed color of normal dentin then assessed immediately after application of SDF (group A) and after application SDF + KI (group B) with the respective restorative material used. Statistical Analysis Data showed parametric distribution and variance homogeneity and were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post hoc test. Results Intergroup comparisons showed that for SDF and SDF + KI samples, there was a significant difference between the different restorative materials ( p < 0.001). For glass ionomer, SDF samples had significantly higher color change value than SDF + KI ( p < 0.001), while for RMGI and zirconia reinforced glass ionomer, SDF + KI samples had significantly higher value ( p < 0.001) although zirconia reinforced glass ionomer showed the least color change following SDF (6.00 ± 2.74). Conclusion Within the limitations of this study, we could conclude that using zirconia reinforced glass ionomer could have a good masking effect on discoloration produced by SDF. While the resin-modified glass ionomer restoration showed more discoloration and darkening effect even after using of KI. Also, using KI in combination with SDF had a good masking effect on discoloration that produced by SDF.

Abstract An association of malocclusion as potent risk factor to temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) has been under question since ages. A systematic review and meta-analysis of case–control and cohort studies was performed following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses)guidelines to compare the prevalence of TMDs in subjects with malocclusion to patients with normocclusion. The study was registered on the PROSPERO database (identifier: CRD42022315863). An elaborate electronic database (PubMed, DOAJ, and Google Scholar) and manual search resulted in 325 articles, among which 7 and 3 articles were shortlisted for qualitative and quantitative review, respectively, for articles published from January 2000 until December 2021. A total of 4,183 participants were included in this review with age range of 5 to 75 years. New–Castle Ottawa tool was employed for quality assessment, while I 2 statistical value for meta-analysis was interpreted in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Fixed effect model was applied as, I 2 = 0. Pooled odds ratio with 95% confidence interval for all three studies was 14.64 [4.43, 48.36] suggesting that TMDs were 14.64 times more associated in patients with malocclusion (cases) than patients without malocclusion (controls). Within the limitations and fair quality of evidence of the current review and analysis, TMDs and associated symptoms are more prevalent in patients with malocclusion with or without more associated factors.
摘要:牙合错作为颞下颌疾病(TMDs)的潜在危险因素的相关性一直受到质疑。遵循PRISMA(系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目)指南，对病例对照和队列研究进行了系统评价和荟萃分析，以比较错颌合患者和正常颌合患者的tmd患病率。该研究已在PROSPERO数据库中注册(标识符:CRD42022315863)。通过精心设计的电子数据库(PubMed、DOAJ和谷歌Scholar)和人工检索，共检索到325篇文章，其中2000年1月至2021年12月发表的文章分别有7篇和3篇入选定性和定量评审。这项综述共纳入了4183名参与者，年龄范围从5岁到75岁。质量评价采用New-Castle Ottawa工具，meta分析采用Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions进行解释。采用固定效应模型，i2 = 0。三项研究的合并优势比(95%可信区间)为14.64[4.43,48.36]，表明错颌合患者(病例)与无错颌合患者(对照)的TMDs相关性为14.64倍。在目前综述和分析的证据的局限性和公平质量范围内，TMDs和相关症状在有或没有更多相关因素的错颌合患者中更为普遍。

Within the limitations and fair quality of evidence of the current review and analysis, TMDs and associated symptoms are more prevalent in patients with malocclusion with or without more associated factors.","PeriodicalId":37771,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of General Dentistry","volume":"11 1","pages":"149 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45244302","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}

Abstract Objective Pregnant women are more at risk to suffer dental infection. Untreated dental infection during pregnancy can lead to more serious problems to mothers and their children, such as premature birth and low birth weight. This study aims to analyzed the relationship between oral hygiene status (OHI-S) and the expression of Porphyromonas gingivalis in third trimester pregnant women. Materials and Methods This was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional study design. Patients consisted of 37 final trimester pregnant women, divided into good OHI-S and fair OHI-S. The P. gingivalis expression was measured using real-time qPCR from the mucosal swab. Results The P. gingivalis expression found no differences between good OHI-s and fair OHI-S ( p = 0.557). Conclusion Based on this study, although there was no significant difference in P. gingivalis expression in the final trimester based on their oral health status, oral health is considered important to be taken care of during pregnancy.

Abstract Genetic influences are critical for determining mandibular protrusion in class IIImalocclusion cases, and growth hormone receptors (GHRs) are thought to have an essential impact on craniofacial bone growth. This review aimed to assess the association between GHR gene polymorphism variants and mandibular morphology. Studies were extensively searched using PubMed and Google Scholar until December 2020. The study design according to PECOS was: P, class III malocclusion; E, GHR polymorphism; no polymorphism in C, GHR; O, linear dimensional changes in maxillary and mandibular measurements; and S, cross-sectional and case-control studies. Selected studies were of acceptable methodological quality on a 10-point scale. A preliminary search identified 107 studies; after excluding duplicate abstracts, 63 studies were screened. Nine studies were subsequently included in the systematic review. Conclusion Polymorphic variants at rs6180, rs6182, and rs6184 in the GHR gene were associated with condylion-gonion measures in Asians and Turks but not in Colombians and Egyptians.
