Background: The rapid development of the dental industry and the daily practice of dentists necessitate constant learning because replenishing the stock of acquired knowledge and skills is the basis for the formation of a highly qualified specialist. Self-directed learning, especially reading and purposeful work with medical literature, constantly contribute to the development of thinking, which should correspond to the modern level of science in medical professionals in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the study was to monitor and analyze ways to obtain new scientific and practical knowledge by dentists to improve their dental practice. Materials and methods: The study involved 4.026 dentists who filled out for dentists online. Results: To improve daily dental practice, dentists additionally use information that is provided in lectures at scientific and practical events (80.19%) and Internet resources (71.48%). For dentists, the most convenient way to read scientific and practical articles was through the electronic version on the websites of the journals (62.20%). Informing doctors with articles with well-illustrated clinical cases (72.66%) and lectures along with practical materials (64.75%) are of the greatest interest to the vast majority of dentists. Conclusion: According to the analytical results, it is shown that the main ways of obtaining scientific and practical information for dentists in the process of self-directed learning is the active involvement of the materials gained on the lectures, scientific and practical events, from Internet resources, from scientific and methodological literature, from scientific articles of domestic and foreign English-language professional journals.

Background: Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a common endocrine disorder with potential complications on the skeletal, renal, neurocognitive and cardiovascular systems. Its association with the lack of osseointegration of dental implants has not been described in the medical literature. Case presentation: This case report aims to discuss two cases of dental implant loss in which a high level of parathormone (PTH) was found in the absence of any other systemic or local comorbidity, suggesting the possible correlation between HPT and implant. Both patients were referred to the clinic complaining about prosthetic complications, gingival inflammation and mobility of the dental prosthesis. After a Cone-Beam computed Tomography evaluation, all implants of both patients were removed for rejection arising from periimplantitis and then four implants were inserted in the patient 1 and five implants in the patient 2. For both patients short implants (Bicon LLC, Boston, Massachusetts, USA), featured by 4 mm in diameter and 5 mm in height, were used and the prosthesis substructure was made of Trinia® (Bicon LLC, Boston, Massachusetts, USA). During the fifth year, the patients reported complications and the implant treatment failure. In order to establish the causes of failure, a thorough investigation was performed. Since no causes were detected, the patients were required to perform a blood test to evaluate bone metabolism and specifically to assess parathyroid-hormone levels (PTH), calcium levels and vitamin D. Results: The results of the blood tests showed normal calcemia, vitamin D deficiency and elevated PTH levels in both patients. After an endocrinologist's consultation, secondary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed. Conclusion: It is reasonable to assume that the loss of osseointegration of dental implants can be correlated with the effects of HPT.

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the percentage of bond failures of placed brackets with a modified direct method in patients of both genders, different ages and malocclusion types during 12 months of initial bonding. Material and Methods: The retrospective clinical study covered the period from November 2019 to December 2022 and included thirty patients with an average age of 17.07±5.35 8 males,(average age 18.77±7.87), and 22 females, (average age 16.45±4.17) who met the criteria. A total of 600 brackets with a 0.022" slot size (Mini Sprint ® , Forestadent, Germany) were placed by a modified direct method using thin paste adhesive (Reliance Light Bond™, Itasca, USA) by one operator. The observation of bond failures lasted 12 months. Results: The total number of bond failures was 10 (1.67%), where eight patients (26,7%) experienced unwanted debonding. The number of failed brackets in relation to age and malocclusion did not show statistical significance. There was a clinical difference between the genders, in 18.2% of women and in 50% of men. Statistical significance in number of failed brackets was not significant (HR=0.343; 95% CI: 0.084-1.394; p=0.135). Conclusion: The modified direct bonding method did not show differences at the level of age, gender and type of malocclusion, but it can be one of the methods of choice during direct bonding.

Background: The present study aims to determine the relationship between the level of periodontal pocket depth with the weight of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)using an analytical balance. Material and Methods: This is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The level of periodontal pocket depth was analyzed by probing. Twenty-seven subjects were divided into three groups, namely, group 1 (with normal pocket depth: 0-3.5 mm), group 2 (pocket depth of 3.6-5.5 mm), and group 3 (pocket depth of more than 5.5 mm). GCF sampling was conducted by the infraclavicular method using paper points and its weight measurement wit han analytical balance. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance followed by post hoc Tukey test to determine the comparison of GCF's weight between groups. The correlation was determined using the Pearson correlation test. Results: The average of GCF's weight obtained respectively in each group was 0.352 ± 0.09 mcg, 0.598 ± 0.10 mcg, and 0.899 ± 0.06 mcg. There was a significant difference (p < 0.001) with the highest GCF's weight was found in the pocket depth group >5.5 mm. The Pearson correlation test showed that there was a positive correlation between the depth of the periodontal pocket and the weight of GCF. Conclusion: The level of periodontal pocket depth is related to the weight of GCF.

Purpose: The purpose of the research was to establish and mutually complement the frequency of hypodontia and hyperdontia in selected locations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to assess the participation of hereditary factors in the registered heterogeneity. Respondents and Procedures: A sample of 1,640 children of school age, both sexes, aged 12-14, served as the subject of research. The sample was collected from five urban centers in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Sarajevo, Mostar, Tuzla, Bihać and Gorazde. In order to estimate the difference in the number of respondents by sex, as well as in assessing the differences in the frequency of observed anomalies (hyperdontia and hypodontia), a ch 2 test with a statistical significance limit p <0.05 was applied. The Fisher Exact Test was used to assess the correlation between the occurrence of hyperdontia and hypodontia between children and parents. Scientifically verified ver. Ver. MedCalc 11.5.0.0. In order to evaluate the distinction between possible hereditary and non-positive factors, an assessment of heritability was performed (h) by applying regression analysis (parent-offspring regression). Results: A total of 40 children with anomalies of the number of teeth were identified, of which 16 boys and 24 girls. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of hypodontia and hyperdontia between boys and girls with respect to geographic regions (ch 2 = 0.500; P = 0.9735). Conclusion: The total prevalence of hypodontia and hyperdontia was 2.43. The prevalence of hypodontia is 1.58, and the hyperdontia is 0.85. The relative risk of anomalies in the number of teeth in children is 8,965 and is statistically significant, indicating that the likelihood of the occurrence of this disorder in children whose at least one parent has the same anomaly is greater.

Introduction: Odontogenic malformations of teeth can be frequently encountered affecting both the primary and permanent dentition. The co-occurrence of talon cusp in a fused tooth, however, is an uncommon developmental dental aberration that necessitates a variety of prophylactic procedures to minimize potential consequences. Often, the presence of talon's cusp can result in pulpal necrosis due to its deep extension, which increases functional complexity. Methods: The present case describes the fusion of a supplemental tooth to a maxillary permanent tooth in conjunction with multiple talon's cusps on labial and palatal aspects which is an extremely rare entity and first of its kind. Results: Endodontic management followed by esthetic reconstruction of the affected tooth is considered as the standard treatment in cases of pulpal involvement of any odontogenically malformed tooth. Our case also demonstrates the establishment of an accurate diagnosis using a three-dimensional imaging modality by overcoming the challenges of periapical radiographs. Conclusion: In addition to diagnosis, practitioners should also have an in-depth understanding of the origin, prevalence, clinical and radiographic characteristics of odontogenic malformations, which AIDS in an effective treatment strategy.

Introduction: Cheiloscopy is defined as the study of the sulci labiorum, known as "lip prints". Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to determine the morphological characteristics of the lip grooves in the three dominant nationalities in the Republic of North Macedonia (Macedonians, Albanians, Roma) and to compare the obtained results with the morphological characteristics of the lip grooves in three other populations from different geographical regions. Material and methods: In this research, we included 150 examinees aged 25-50 years and divided them into three groups: Macedonians (50), Albanians (50) and Roma (50). The lip prints were taken using microscopic slides and detected using the dactyloscopic powder and brush method. We used the Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification to typify the lip prints. Results: The most common type of lip grooves in the population of the Republic of North Macedonia was the type II grooves. There was no significant difference in the presence of different types of lip grooves in the four quadrants between males and females, nor between Macedonians, Albanians and Roma. The comparative analysis showed that populations from different geographical areas had different anthropological and morphological characteristics of the lip grooves. Conclusion: Type II lip grooves are the most common in the population of the Republic of North Macedonia and there is no statistically significant difference between the prevalence of different types of lip grooves in the three nationalities in this study. Considering the large number of factors that can affect the quality of the lip print, we recommend that a swab should always be taken before collecting the lip print in order to attempt to extract DNA material from the found trace.

Introduction: The occurrence of mesiodens is somewhat rare, but amongpatients with any kind of supernumerary teeth, it is rather common. From an anthropological point of view, it is interesting to confirm the development of mesiodens in various historical ages. Case report analyses a mesiodens and the surrounding skeletal remains dating from the late medieval ages (13th -16th centuries) which confirms the incidence of the mesiodens and presents the conclusion that historically, mesiodens, as a form of supernumerary teeth has been present throughout history. Conclusion finding of a mesiodens in an archaeological context proves that the occurrence of this type of accessory teeth has been present for at least half a millennium.

From an anthropological point of view, it is interesting to confirm the development of mesiodens in various historical ages. Case report analyses a mesiodens and the surrounding skeletal remains dating from the late medieval ages (13th -16th centuries) which confirms the incidence of the mesiodens and presents the conclusion that historically, mesiodens, as a form of supernumerary teeth has been present throughout history.

Uvod: Pyogenic granuloma is a common non neoplastic growth in the oral cavity which is hyperplastic in nature. Various theories of etiopathogenesis have been suggested for pyogenic granuloma. It is commonly thought to be a response to various local irritants like calculus, foreign body material etc. It is hemorrhagic and often bleeds on touch. It usually causes local interference. Excisional biopsy is considered the treatment of choice for pyogenic granuloma followed by removal of the local irritants in order to avoid recurrence. This article presents a case of oral pyogenic granuloma in a 54-year-old patient in the gingiva extending up to the palate with a review of literature. Materials and methods: A thorough case history and clinical examination was done. A provisional diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma was given. Excisional biopsy was performed and the lesion was sent for histopathological evaluation. Result: Histopathological examination of the lesion confirmed the clinical diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma. Conclusion: Pyogenic granuloma is non neoplastic in nature and hence a detailed knowledge of this lesion is required in order to identify it in its early stage and to manage it appropriately before it causes any hindrance in normal routine functions.
