This review article delves into the multifaceted realm of oral piercings, exploring their implications for oral health and beyond. We navigate through the motivations driving individuals to adorn their mouths with piercings, ranging from self-expression to cultural identity. Despite their allure, oral piercings harbor a myriad of risks, including infection, trauma, and dental complications, which demand careful consideration. We dissect the intricate interplay between piercings and oral anatomy, highlighting their potential to disrupt oral hygiene practices, erode tooth enamel, and exacerbate periodontal disease. Moreover, we scrutinize the psychological and sociocultural dimensions of piercings, unraveling their impact on self-image, social perceptions, and interpersonal dynamics. Moving forward, we chart a course for managing and preventing complications associated with oral piercings, advocating for comprehensive counseling, education, and preventive strategies. By fostering collaboration between healthcare providers, piercers, and policymakers, we aim to promote safer and more inclusive practices that prioritize the health and well-being of individuals with piercings. Finally, we glimpse into the future of oral piercings, envisioning emerging trends and innovations that promise to redefine the landscape of piercing culture. Through this comprehensive exploration, we endeavor to illuminate the complexities of oral piercings, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their oral health and self-expression.

Dental diseases, encompassing conditions such as dental caries and periodontal diseases, are among the most prevalent chronic diseases globally, posing significant public health challenges. While environmental factors play crucial roles in disease development, there is increasing recognition of the contribution of genetic factors to individual susceptibility to dental diseases. This comprehensive review synthesizes current evidence on the genetic basis of dental diseases, exploring key genetic determinants, molecular pathways, gene-environment interactions, and implications for personalized dental care. We discuss findings from candidate gene studies, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and emerging genomic approaches, shedding light on the complex interplay between genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and oral health outcomes. Additionally, we highlight challenges, future directions, and opportunities for translating genetic research into clinical practice to advance precision dentistry and improve oral health outcomes.

Replacing or repairing a defective restoration has become a daily practice in dentistry. It is therefore necessary to know how to evaluate a restoration to decide whether or not to re-intervene and then to choose whether to replace, repair, or refrain from doing so by setting up a monitoring system. The best-known evaluation criteria accepted by the scientific community are the modified Ryge / USPHS criteria and the FDI criteria. In Senegal, no such study has been carried out, and it was with this in mind that our study was carried out, involving 158 dental surgeons. The results showed a predominance of men (70.89%). The average age was relatively young at 37. The study confirmed that re-intervention is common practice among the dentists surveyed: the majority (77.72%) had done a re-intervention less than a week before the survey. The most common reason encountered by dentists for their last re-intervention was fracture of the tooth or restorative material with a rate of 36.71%, then we have caries recurrence and advanced decay and wear with the same rate of 17.09%, followed by pain or hypersensitivity with a rate of 16.46%. After diagnosis, 73% replaced the restoration deemed defective, versus 22% who chose to repair the restoration. Clinical evaluation criteria were used by only 12.66% of the sample. The majority, 74.05% of practitioners, take into account the benefit/risk/cost ratio. The results of this study show the limits of dental surgeons' knowledge in re-intervention, as well as the lack of codification of parameters related to this practice. It is therefore necessary to develop training programs and teaching units for both initial and continuing training.

Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome encompasses systemic abnormalities such as dental, cardiac, craniofacial, and abdominal-wall defects. As a rare autosomal dominant condition, it presents as a heterogeneous group of features. Managing this syndrome requires a multidisciplinary approach involving dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and geneticists due to the complexity of dental anomalies and the rarity of the condition. Early diagnosis is pivotal not only for addressing dentofacial appearance and function but also for detecting systemic abnormalities that could impact vision. Collaboration among specialists, including ophthalmologists and maxillofacial surgeons, is vital for comprehensive care. Diagnosis is typically based on clinical and ophthalmologic examinations, supplemented by genetic analysis if the syndrome is suspected. Treatment plans are customized by specialized teams to meet the distinct needs of each patient.

In this study, we examined the prevalence of impacted and supernumerary teeth in Libyans based on their age, gender, and type of teeth.: Data sources were 374 patients referred to the University Hospital at Benghazi and Almarj as part of this study, including their clinical records. Age, gender, the number of impacted/supernumerary teeth, the type and frequency of impacted/supernumerary teeth, and other variables were examined and processed.: A total of 374 patients were examined, of which 295 (78.8%) were female, and 79 (21.2%) were male, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:3.7. Among patients with impacted teeth, 194 (35.8%) had one, 134 (31.5%) had two, and 139 (32.7%) had three or more impacted teeth. Of 585 impacted teeth, there were only 23 premolars (3.93%), 10 supernumerary teeth (1.7%), 2 impacted molar (0.34%), 7 impacted incisors (1.19%), 2 impacted odontome (0.34%) and 2 impacted deciduous teeth (0.34%).: The third molars revealed the highest frequency of impaction (P<0.001), while the number of impacted teeth of the mandible was more than that of the maxilla (P<0.001). Among the most commonly impacted teeth, the maxillary canines were the most commonly impacted teeth and the mesiodens were the most frequent supernumeraries. To prevent malocclusion and malalignment of permanent teeth, it is crucial to detect supernumerary and impacted teeth early with panoramic radiographs.

: The position of maxillary impacted canine (MIC) and the presence of lateral incisor root resorption (RR) remains a challenge for interceptive orthodontics and surgical treatment planning. The use of panoramic radiographs will be compared with CBCT in the diagnosis of RR and emphasize the importance of accurate diagnostic imaging.: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of Cone Beam Computed Tomography and Panoramic Radiography in detecting lateral incisor RR associated with MIC. To evaluate, with respect to sector position of impacted canines, the agreement between panoramic radiographs and CBCT in detecting lateral incisor RR.: A cross-sectional retrospective descriptive study on panoramic and CBCT radiographic records between January 2014 and December 2020. The study setting was Section of Diagnostic Imaging at a University Oral Health Centre. All patients requiring radiographs are referred to this section by all dental departments of the dental hospital. The study sample consisted of CBCT and panoramic images of impacted maxillary canines of patients older than 9yrs. Patients with odontogenic and non-odontogenic pathology in the canine and incisor area, those with previous diagnosis of external root resorption verified from the patient’s treatment records, and patients who have had any form of orthodontic treatment; removable or fixed appliances were excluded. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27. Pearson's chi-squared test was used to analyse the agreement between panoramic radiographs and CBCT in locating canine sector position. All tests were conducted at 5% significance level. Fifty patients records were analysed in our study. The median age of the sample was 15 years and the IQR was 12.5-19. Our sample consisted predominantly of females (n=40) compared to males(n=10). A total of 65 MIC were assessed with 16 bilateral impactions (n=32) and the unilateral impactions (n=33). Of the 65 MICs, 46% were located on the right side and 54% were located on the left side. The CBCT examination showed that 58% (n = 38) of MIC were located palatally, 34% (n=22) labially and 8% (n=5) in the mid-alveolus (between the teeth). The majority of MIC occurred in sector 4 in 2-D pan (26%, n=17) and 3-D pan at (32%, n=21). Pearson's chi-squared test results showed a statistically significant difference in the agreement between 2-D pan and 3-D pan in locating canine sector position (p=0.001).: The detection of root resorption in our study underscores the importance for clinicians to examine panoramic radiographs thoroughly beyond the counting of teeth. Although panoramic radiographs are the routine diagnostic tool in contemporary dental practice, their limitation in definitive diagnosis of root resorption should be augmented with the use of CBCT.
:上颌阻生犬齿（MIC）的位置和侧切牙牙根吸收（RR）的存在仍然是阻断性正畸和手术治疗计划的一个难题。我们将比较全景X光片和 CBCT 在诊断 RR 中的应用，并强调准确诊断成像的重要性：比较锥形束计算机断层扫描和全景放射摄影在检测与 MIC 相关的侧切牙 RR 方面的诊断准确性。评估全景X光片和CBCT在检测侧切牙RR时，在影响犬齿扇形位置方面的一致性。 研究内容：对2014年1月至2020年12月期间的全景X光片和CBCT影像记录进行横断面回顾性描述性研究。研究地点为一所大学口腔健康中心的影像诊断科。牙科医院的所有牙科部门都会将所有需要进行放射成像检查的患者转诊至该科。研究样本包括 9 岁以上上颌犬齿撞击患者的 CBCT 和全景图像。不包括犬齿和门齿部位有牙源性和非牙源性病变的患者、根据患者治疗记录确诊为外根吸收的患者，以及接受过任何形式的正畸治疗（活动或固定矫治器）的患者。数据使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）27 版进行分析。皮尔逊卡方检验用于分析全景X光片和CBCT在定位犬齿扇形位置方面的一致性。所有检验均在 5%的显著性水平下进行。我们的研究分析了 50 份患者病历。样本年龄中位数为 15 岁，IQR 为 12.5-19。与男性（10 人）相比，我们的样本主要由女性（40 人）组成。共评估了 65 例 MIC，其中双侧撞击 16 例（n=32），单侧撞击 33 例（n=33）。在 65 个 MIC 中，46% 位于右侧，54% 位于左侧。CBCT 检查显示，58%（n=38）的 MIC 位于腭部，34%（n=22）位于唇部，8%（n=5）位于齿槽中部（牙齿之间）。大多数 MIC 出现在二维扫描的第 4 区（26%，n=17）和三维扫描的第 4 区（32%，n=21）。皮尔逊卡方检验结果显示，二维平移和三维平移在定位犬齿扇区位置的一致性方面存在显著差异（P=0.001）：在我们的研究中发现了牙根吸收，这强调了临床医生在计算牙齿数量之外彻底检查全景X光片的重要性。虽然全景 X 光片是当代牙科实践中的常规诊断工具，但其在明确诊断牙根吸收方面的局限性应通过使用 CBCT 得到加强。

A total of 65 MIC were assessed with 16 bilateral impactions (n=32) and the unilateral impactions (n=33). Of the 65 MICs, 46% were located on the right side and 54% were located on the left side. The CBCT examination showed that 58% (n = 38) of MIC were located palatally, 34% (n=22) labially and 8% (n=5) in the mid-alveolus (between the teeth). The majority of MIC occurred in sector 4 in 2-D pan (26%, n=17) and 3-D pan at (32%, n=21). Pearson's chi-squared test results showed a statistically significant difference in the agreement between 2-D pan and 3-D pan in locating canine sector position (p=0.001).: The detection of root resorption in our study underscores the importance for clinicians to examine panoramic radiographs thoroughly beyond the counting of teeth. Although panoramic radiographs are the routine diagnostic tool in contemporary dental practice, their limitation in definitive diagnosis of root resorption should be augmented with the use of CBCT.","PeriodicalId":516738,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Oral Health Dentistry","volume":"7 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141337371","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}

Antibioma is a chronic sterile, tough fibrous abscess formed commonly due to prolonged and inappropriate use of antibiotics for infections, without facilitating proper drainage of the pus. It is a localized swelling which is painless, smooth, non-tender and firm on palpation. It is only after the abscess has been incised, the body defence mechanism and antibiotic can eradicate the infection by releasing pressure, increasing blood circulation and oxygen to the anaerobic environment. Here, a rare case of antibioma in the neck of an 8 year old male child who had undergone extraction of an offending tooth to eradicate the infection. However, inadequate drainage of the abscess and lack of proper postoperative follow-up led to persistence of residual infection.
