Introduction. Mandibular kinetics is composed of a series of complex movements regarding opening and closing and latero-lateral movements. The procedure for registration of this trajectory is condylography. This procedure represents a diagnostic method for monitoring and registering the movements of the mandibular condyles. The analysis starts from the most distal position of the condyle to the maximum propulsive point and latero-lateral maximum extensions. The aim of this examination is to compare the trajectory of movement of the mandibular condyle in patients with symptoms of TMD, in the acute phase and the trajectory after the treatment and corrections of intermaxillary relations. Materials and methods. The examination was carried out in 20 (10 men and 10 women) patients of PHO Denta Estetika Team Skopje. The patients were complaining about pain, limitation of movements and crepitations in the temporomandibular joint as well as difficult mastication. Condylographic measurements were made with the Kavo Arcus Digma digital condylograph. The registration of the movements was done in two sessions, before and after the treatment. Results. There was no statistically significant difference in temporomandibular condyle movement angles before and after the treatment in patients with TMD. There was a statistically significant difference in the value of Bennett?s angle. Easier and more accurate movements of mandible were noticed in the patients after the treatment.

Introduction. Sudden fracture of instruments without previous warning signs, which occurs due to cyclic and torsional fatigue, represents the biggest problem and one of the most difficult complications during endodontic therapy. The aim of this research was to check the influence of diameter of the instruments on the appearance of cyclic fatigue in simulated canals in full rotation. Material and Method. The study analyzed 24 ProTaper Universal instruments (12 instruments with a diameter of 25 and 12 instruments with a diameter of 30) and 24 ProTaper Next instruments (12 instruments with a diameter of 25 and 12 instruments with a diameter of 30). The instruments were tested in an artificial canal stuffed in a metal block at an angle of 45? and a corner radius of 5 mm. The operating time of each instrument until fracture was measured, and then the number of cycles to fracture (NCF) was calculated. The length of the fractured fragments (FL) was measured with a Vernier caliper. Results. The number of cycles to fracture was higher (p < 0.001) in instruments of the ProTaper Universal group of diameter 25 (367.83 ? 17.00) compared to instruments of diameter 30 (329.33 ? 12.86) of the same group. The number of cycles leading to the fracture in instruments of the ProTaper Next group of diameter 25 (1189.33 ? 18.97) was higher (p < 0.001) compared to instruments of the same group of diameter 30 (971.08 ? 15.26). Conclusion. Obtained results indicated that with an increase in the diameter of rotating endodontic instruments, there is a decrease in the resistance to cyclic fatigue.

Introduction. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a state of chronic hyperglycemia that is a predisposing factor to caries, gingivitis, inflammation of periodontium, oral candidiasis, xerostomia and many other diseases of the oral cavity. Inflammation of the supporting tissue of the tooth is a chronic disease that destroys the supporting structure of the tooth, i.e. periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. The aim of this study was to examine using histological analysis the presence of periodontitis and gingivitis in rats with experimentally induced DM that were sacrificed after 14 and 30 days. Material and methods. The research was conducted on 42 Wistar rats. DM in experimental animals was induced by the use of Alloxan intraperitoneally. The first group (Exp_14) consisted of 16 rats in which DM was induced and sacrificed after 14 days, the second group (Exp_30) consisted of 16 rats in which DM was induced and they were sacrificed after 30 days, while the control consisted of 10 healthy rats. Results. Periodontitis and gingivitis in the first group of rats (Exp_14) were determined in 54.5% of cases, while in the second group (Exp_30) in 88% of cases. In the control group no case of periodontitis and gingivitis was recorded. A highly statistically significant difference was found between the examined groups (Chi-square = 14.685; p < 0.001). Conclusion. In the group of rats with experimentally induced DM that were sacrificed after 30 days, a significantly higher incidence of periodontitis and gingivitis was found compared to the group of rats that were sacrificed after 14 days.

Introduction. In addition to the advantages of glass ionomer cements that have led to their wide application, hybrid glass ionomer cements have been developed to overcome the shortcomings in mechanical resistance. The aim of the study was to perform an ultrastructural analysis of restorations made from conventional and hybrid glass ionomer cements after recommended finishing procedures and application of a protective coating. Materials and Methods. This study analyzed 30 samples of conventional glass ionomer cement Fuji IX? and 30 samples of hybrid glass ionomer cement EQUIA Forte HT Fil?. The samples were prepared in cylindrical molds and divided into the three groups. The first group of samples, after adaptation, was left untreated and served as a control group. The second group consisted of samples that were finished with a cylindrical diamond bur with water cooling. The samples in the third group were finished and protected with appropriate coatings (G-COAT PLUS? and EQUIA Forte Coat?). The samples were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. Results. The finishing procedures of Fuji IX? samples significantly reduced crack width (t = 3.42, p < 0.005; Z = 3.25, p = 0.001). Similarly, the crack width in EQUIA Forte HT Fil? samples was also significantly smaller in treated samples (t = 4.78, p < 0.001; Z = 4.28, p < 0.001). Ultrastructural analysis of both materials showed the complete absence of cracks in finished samples protected by coatings. Conclusion. Finishing of conventional and hybrid glass ionomer cements results in a reduction in the number of cracks as well as a decrease in their widths, and the protective coatings completely cover remaining cracks.
介绍。除了玻璃离子水门合剂的优点使其得到广泛应用外，杂化玻璃离子水门合剂还克服了其机械阻力方面的缺点。该研究的目的是在推荐的整理程序和应用保护涂层后，对传统和混合玻璃离聚体水泥修复体进行超微结构分析。材料与方法。本研究分析了30份传统玻璃离子水泥Fuji IX?混合玻璃离子水泥EQUIA Forte HT Fil?样品在圆柱形模具中制备，并分为三组。第一组样本在适应后不进行处理，并作为对照组。第二组由用圆柱形钻石完成但水冷却的样品组成。第三组样品用适当的涂层(G-COAT PLUS?和EQUIA Forte Coat?)。用扫描电子显微镜对样品进行了分析。结果。富士IX的整理程序?样品显著减小裂缝宽度(t = 3.42, p <0.005;Z = 3.25, p = 0.001)。同样，EQUIA Forte HT Fil的裂缝宽度为?处理后的样本也明显更小(t = 4.78, p <0.001;Z = 4.28, p <0.001)。两种材料的超微结构分析表明，涂层保护的成品样品完全没有裂纹。结论。常规和杂化玻璃离子胶结剂的整理可以减少裂缝的数量，减小裂缝的宽度，并且保护涂层完全覆盖剩余的裂缝。

Introduction Marginal adaptation of sealants is important element in prevention of dental caries. The failure of marginal adaptation leads to marginal leakage, passage of bacteria, fluids, molecules or ions between enamel and sealant, creating possibility for development of dental caries below the sealant. The aim of this study was to assess and compare microleakage of resin based sealant after acid etching and Er: YAG laser treatment of enamel. Materials and Methods An in vitro study included 30 premolars and molars extracted for orthodontic purpose, without any structural anomalies, and divided in the two groups of 15 samples. Group I included teeth with fissures sealed using resin based sealant (Helioseal-F, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Liechtenstein) after enamel etching with 37% phosphoric acid. Group II consisted of teeth where fissures were sealed with resin based sealant (Helioseal-F, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Liechtenstein) after enamel etching with Er: YAG laser (Fotona Light Walker Laser). Results In the group I, 10 (66.67%) samples demonstrated level 0 microleakage, 2 (13. 33%) samples demonstrated level 1 microleakage and 3 (20%) samples demonstrated level 3 microleakage. In the second group, 10 (66.67%) samples demonstrated level 0 microleakage, 1 (6.67%) demonstrated level 1 microleakage, 2 (13.33%) samples demonstrated level 2 microleakage and 2 (13.33%) samples showed level 3 microleakage. Descriptive statistics for microleakage resulted with mean score=0.73 for the first and second group. There was no statistically significant difference in chosen technique for etching occlusal enamel (37% phosphoric acid or Er: YAG Laser radiation) p>0,05 (p=0,98), when placing fissure sealants. Conclusion The use of Er: YAG Laser radiation for pits and fissures treatment, demonstrated excellent results and could replace the procedure of etching pits and fissures with phosphoric acid, with the same effect and without the negative impact of the phosphoric acid.

Introduction Materials used for root canal obturation and root perforation are expected to have, in addition to preventing apical, lateral and coronary leakage, antimicrobial effects on microorganisms that are not accessible to chemomechanical instrumentation and intra-canal medications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of a novel calcium aluminate-based endodontic nanostructured biomaterial (ALBO-MCCA) using agar diffusion test. Material and methods the two materials were tested in the study. The nanostructured calcium aluminate was synthesized by the hydrothermal sol-gel method from individual components of calcium aluminate (CaOxAl2 O3 ), calcite (CaCO3 ) and barium sulfate (BaSO4 ) as radiocontrast agent in the ratio of 2:2:1 according to V. Jokanovic's recipe. The other used material was calcium silicate MTA Angelus (Londrina, Brazil). The antimicrobial effect was assessed using agar diffusion test. Standard strains of Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, cultured on blood Mueller-Hinton agar and Candida albicans cultivated on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar, were used as test microorganisms. Results the best antimicrobial effect after 24 h both materials showed against S. aureus. The mean values of the growth inhibition zone for ALBO MCCA were 5.7 ± 0.25 mm and MTA 6.2 ± 0.4 mm. The ALBO MCCA material showed slightly stronger antibacterial effect against E. coli compared to MTA (p < 0.05), whereas none of the materials showed antibacterial effect against E. faecalis. Conclusion the ALBO MCCA material showed certain antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans that was comparable to antibacterial effect of MTA.

Introduction Gingival recession is the most common mucogingival anomaly, as well as the most frequent periodontal plastic surgery indication. The surgical procedure and healing of the wound result in scar formation, which impacts oral soft tissue aesthetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of a postsurgical scar after gingival recession treatment using the mucosal scarring index (MSI). Material and methods In accordance with the MSI, ten standardized and calibrated photographs of the postsurgical site, taken 3-6 months following the surgical procedure, were analyzed. That included the evaluation of six parameters: scar appearance, scar length, suture marks, contour, color, and overall appearance. 30 professionals divided into the three groups conducted the scar analysis: 10 dental students (S), 10 periodontology and oral medicine residents (SS) and 10 periodontal specialists (SP). Results the average MSI values showed the following results: S: 3.63 ± 2.71, SS: 3.63 ± 2.83 and SP: 3.12 ± 2.75. There was no difference between the MSI values obtained in the three groups (p=0.544). Conclusion Due to the similar MSI values among all the groups, a conclusion may be drawn that by the application of this index, the aesthetic evaluation of the postsurgical scar after the gingival recession treatment can be done in a fast and simple way. Further research based on a larger sample and various surgical procedures is necessary in order to confirm these statements.

Introduction an increase in the number of elderly users of dental services is expected in bubbling. The aim of the study was to examine the oral health behaviour and oral hygiene habits of the elderly population in Podgorica, Montenegro. Materials and methods the study used a 21 closed-end question questionnaire, prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Using standard statistical methods, ch2 test was performed (p = 0.05). Results the average age of subjects was 71 ± 6.35. 40.0% of population was edentulous; 81.90% had some kind of dentures; last visit to the dentist was less than a year ago in 25.7% and more than five years ago in 27.6%. Higher educated population had regular dental check-ups (ch2 = 47.178; p < 0.001). The reason for dental visit was most commonly pain or other mouth discomfort, teeth or dentures in 59.0%. 33.3% of examined population reported fear of dental interventions as the reason for the lack of dental care. 16.2% reported high cost of dental services as reason for avoiding dentist. 41.0% of population used tobacco products and 21.0% alcoholic beverages. Les than half of population (40.0%) had regular dentist. 41% of population brushed teeth and dentures three times a day, oral hygiene AIDS use was noted in 35.6% while 50% used denture-cleaning tablets. Conclusion Oral health behaviour and oral hygiene habits of the elderly in Podgorica are not satisfactory. Since elderly are mostly in need of prosthetic treatment it is important to improve dental-prosthetic care in the state health care system.

Introduction Maxillary labial frenulum (MLF) is a mucous membrane fold that shows diversity in morphology, position and clinical significance throughout life. The aim of the study was to evaluate different morphological variations and MLF attachment site prevalence in elementary school children. Material and methods the study included 110 children of "Ljutica Bogdan" Primary School in Kalinovik, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Clinical examinations were performed visually under natural light. The upper lip was lightly elevated with the forefingers and thumbs of both hands in horizontal alignment from alveolar ridge. Morphological variations were registered in accordance with Sewerin classification and attachment site according to Placek et al. Results the study included 49 (44.6%) male and 61 (55.4%) female subjects. Mucosal MLF was registered in 57.3%, gingival in 17.3%, papillary in 20.9% and papilla penetrating in 4.5% of examined children. Frenulum simplex was registered in 64.6%, persistent tectolabial frenulum in 4.5%, frenulum with appendix in 9.1%, frenulum with nodule in 14.5%, duplication of frenulum in 5.5%, frenulum with two or more variations was registered in 1.8% of respondents. No difference was observed in morphological variations and attachment site positions between genders. Conclusion Most prevalent MLF morphological type was frenulum simplex and mucosal attachment site. Familiarity with MLF morphology, attachment site position as well as prevalence of different variations is very important in everyday clinical practice from the aspect of proper oral hygiene maintenance, periodontal disease prevention, orthodontic treatment and proper surgical therapy.
