Introduction: Developmental disturbances of teeth at the stage of morpho-differentiation have been related to abnormalities associated with changes in the tooth shape and size. Dens evaginatus and dens invaginatus are the developmental variations of the human dentition. Dens evaginatus, a rare anomaly characterized by the presence of a tubercle on the occlusal surface of teeth is seen to occur due to abnormal proliferation and folding of the inner enamel epithelium and part of the dental papilla into the stellate reticulum of the enamel organ; whereas, dens invaginatus is seen to occur due to infolding of the enamel and dentine into the pulp cavity and sometimes extending to the root apex. Case report: We report cases with bilateral dens evaginatus in mandibular second premolars and dens invaginatus in maxillary lateral incisor. Conclusion: Such developmental anomalies of teeth deserve clinical importance, as high chances of early pulpal pathosis.

Introduction: Some of the typical skin diseases, such as Pemphigus vulgaris, Pemphigoid mucosae oris, Erythema exudativum multiforme, Sclerodremia, Dermatitis herpetiformis-Duhring and Lichen planus, can cause swelling and irritation in mucous membranes of the oral cavity. Aim: The aim of the study was to precise diagnosis and treatment of oral Lichen planus manifestations. Methods: Analyzing the literature data and the experience of clinicians, the most common oral lichen planus manifestations were investigated. Results: This disease most commonly occurs in middle-aged patients (30-60 years) and is more common in women than in men. Oral Lichen planus is rarely seen in children. The disease presents in 0.5% to 2% of the population. Clinical history established the relation between oral Lichen planus and oral carcinoma, and therefore this disease should be considered a precancerous lesion. Conclusion: Dermatoses in the mouth are localized most often in the oral mucosa, both at the height of the occlusal line and in the mucous membrane of the retromolar area, but they can also occur in the mucous membranes of the tongue, the floor of the mouth and lips.

Introduction: Recent studies have found that patients with periodontitis have greater risk of incurring fatal cardiovascular disease than patients without periodontitis. Emerging research has identified inflammation caused by periodontitis as significantly increasing the risk for ACS. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate a periodontal status in the patients with ACS, and to assess the association of different periodontal parameters with ACS. Material and methods: In the first group, patients both with ACS and periodontitis were enrolled as cases. Patients were examined 3 days after ischemia. The second group consisted of patients who had only periodontitis. The control group consisted of healthy individuals. Periodontal parameters were measured and matched on the basis of demographic characteristics and assessed between the groups. The severity of periodontitis in both cases was analyzed. Results: Analysis of the periodontal parameters showed that median scores were higher in patients in the first and the second group compared to the third control group but significantly higher in group with ACS. Levels of inflammatory markers were highest in the first group, compared to the second group and the control group. Periodontal pathogens were more strongly present in patients with ACS than in the group with periodontitis, indicating that it was a serious illness in these patients. Conclusion: This study supports an association between periodontitis and ACS. Severe periodontitis is present in this patients indicating that periodontitis can further act on the development of ACS.

Background: Imperfect smile and face profile is one of the main reasons why patients turn to orthodontists. Aim was to investigate if there is a difference in perception of smile and profile esthetics between the examined groups. Subjects and method: In conducted research, smiles of 21 persons (8 male and 13 female), 18 to 30 years old were evaluated by 15 orthodontists, 15 students of dentistry and 15 laypeople. They were to rate esthetics of every smile from 1 to 9 and choose just one main reason that impairs aesthetics. Orthodontists and laypeople should also evaluate male and female normal, bimaxillary prognathic and bimaxillary retrognathic profiles from 1 to 3. The most beautiful profile should be marked with number 3. Results: Although there was no statistically significant difference in the evaluation of smile esthetics among groups, laypeople gave the lowest evaluation. Apart from irregular position of certain teeth, all investigated groups emphasized different factors that impair smile esthetics. Orthodontists and laypeople marked bimaxillary prognathic male and female profile as less beautiful than the others. Conclusion: Because of the differences in perception of the smile aesthetics between orthodontists and laypeople, it is necessary to create a new diagnostic plan of treatment protocols that includes studies investigating laypeople perception of smile and facial esthetics.

Introduction: Despite substantial advances in the treatment of Hemophilia A with the use of concentrated factor VIII preparations during recent decades, bleeding episodes still occur from time to time. The development of inhibitors significantly reduces the efficacy of traditional replacement therapy, seriously increasing morbidity and mortality in these patients. Emicizumab (HEMLIBRA ®) is a chimeric bispecific humanized antibody that bridges activated FIX and FX and thus restores the function of missing activated FVIII. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the literature date of the effect of Emicizumab in the treatment of Hemophilia A. Results: Multicenter randomized studies called HAVEN have shown excellent results of this medication in the treatment of patients with Hemophilia A. FVIII inhibitors do not bind to or neutralize Emicizumab and therefore have no effect on the hemostatic activity of the drug. Emicizumab prophylaxis produced a significant reduction in treated bleedings of 79%, compared to with the group of patients on prophylaxis with bypassing agents, while the rate grew up to even 95% after longer observation. Other studies have also confirmed good treatment results and a favorable safety profile in both adults and children. In the cases of bleeding events or preparation for immediate surgical interventions, it is recommended to user FVII (NovoSeven) ® according to previous guidelines. Conclusion: The results of the prophylactic use of Emicizumabhave so far shown that it may be a revolutionary preparation that can significantly reduce bleeding episodes and improve the quality of life of patients with Hemophilia A. Nevertheless, further testing of this drug is required.

Introduction: The dental profession is a high-risk profession, considering the aspect of a possible 100% infection from patients who are carriers of bacterial, viral and fungal diseases during dental interventions. Aim: To perform the analysis of all data that explain the possibility of a SARS-CoV-2 virus infection in dental practice. Material and Methods: The literature data on the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus, and its characteristics and behavior in the external environment and in living tissues was analyzed. Databases from the Medline, Cochrane Library, Science-Direct, EMBASE, and Google scholar libraries were used, as well as other sources of literature information about this virus. Results: SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus, which has a submicron size and the ability to survive in various environments. The retention of SARS-CoV-2 virus in air / aerosol lasts an average of 3 hours, while the half-life of this virus is 5 to 6 hours on stainless steel and 6 to 8 hours on plastic. Infected patients with SARS-CoV-2 virus develop COVID-19 disease, which manifests itself through presymptomatic, symptomatic and post-symptomatic periods of the disease. Conclusion: The SARS-CoV-2 virus can be found in aerosols generated by dental equipment, which uses compressed air for its work. Protection of dentists and staff from infection with the virus is possible by wearing an N95 respiratory mask with protection levels 2 and 3, which has a filtration efficiency, i.e. retention of submicron particles with an efficiency of ≥ 98%. Waterproof goggles with a protective visor or a special industrially designed facial visor in the form of a full face mask, which has its own motor for the supply of filtered air to the mask, and which prevents the contamination of the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and mouth from liquid or solid aerosol in the air, need to be used. Other disposable protective equipment also must be waterproof.

Aim: To perform the analysis of all data that explain the possibility of a SARS-CoV-2 virus infection in dental practice. Material and Methods: The literature data on the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus, and its characteristics and behavior in the external environment and in living tissues was analyzed. Databases from the Medline, Cochrane Library, Science-Direct, EMBASE, and Google scholar libraries were used, as well as other sources of literature information about this virus. Results: SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus, which has a submicron size and the ability to survive in various environments. The retention of SARS-CoV-2 virus in air / aerosol lasts an average of 3 hours, while the half-life of this virus is 5 to 6 hours on stainless steel and 6 to 8 hours on plastic. Infected patients with SARS-CoV-2 virus develop COVID-19 disease, which manifests itself through presymptomatic, symptomatic and post-symptomatic periods of the disease. Conclusion: The SARS-CoV-2 virus can be found in aerosols generated by dental equipment, which uses compressed air for its work. Protection of dentists and staff from infection with the virus is possible by wearing an N95 respiratory mask with protection levels 2 and 3, which has a filtration efficiency, i.e. retention of submicron particles with an efficiency of ≥ 98%. Waterproof goggles with a protective visor or a special industrially designed facial visor in the form of a full face mask, which has its own motor for the supply of filtered air to the mask, and which prevents the contamination of the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and mouth from liquid or solid aerosol in the air, need to be used. Other disposable protective equipment also must be waterproof.

Introduction: By examining numerous thermoplastic and flexible materials that would aesthetically and functionally surpass acrylates used for the production of dental prostheses, polyamides were discovered as materials with great potential application in prosthodontics. The aim of this study was to describe polyamide materials used for the production of partial dentures. Material and methods: The main methodological approach of this study was a systematic search of the literature in two electronic databases: Google Scholar and PubMed using predefined keyword combinations. Results: The advantage of polyamide dentures is the comfort and ease of accommodation of the patient, with preserved optimal mechanical and physical properties. The dentures are flexible but rigid enough to be resistant to shock and fractures. Due to their low specific weight, polyamide dentures are light, extremely thin and do not interrupt patient speech. Excellent aesthetics are provided by a high choice of working colors and high translucency of the material, which ensures that the soft tissue that's covered by the denture base or clasp is seen through the prosthesis and gives it a more natural appearance in the patient's mouth. Conslusion: Polyamides, unlike acrylates, do not contain residual monomers, so they have an greater degree of biocompatibility. They can be used for the production of both complete and partial dentures, in combination with a Cr-Co skeleton, or crowns and bridges.
