Abstract Introduction Optimal aesthetic results require suitable smile design that fulfils patient’s expectations. Psychological importance of teeth appearance is clear and often discussed in relation to the success of prosthetic treatment. The objective of this article was to present methodology for creating customized smile design using the Visagismile concept and evaluate aesthetic satisfaction with prosthetic treatment. Case report A 52-year-old female patient required complete esthetical dental mouth reconstruction. Digital planning software (Visagismile) provided dentists and technicians a 2D preview of the final design that relates facial perception and personality of the patient. The latest innovation of used software in addition to documents that dentists send for the Visagismile application is that they need to send an intraoral 3D scan of the patients mouth (with any scanner) and define the length and position of incisal edges of the central incisors. This information as a STL file is sent to new Visagismile/REBEL center that is actually a digital lab, that converts 2D designs created by the Visagismile concept into 3D and create a digital wax up immediately. Conclusions Visagismile concept supports both dentist and patient in deciding the aesthetics of the prosthetic restoration. The total coefficient of the assessment of patients for the final aesthetic result was highly satisfactory. Using the proposed methodology, a smile design corresponding to individual facial features, temperament and personal preferences of the patient can be reproduced.

Abstract Radiotherapy in the treatment of head and neck tumors is most often used as an independent method or in combination with surgery and / or chemotherapy. These therapeutic methods in a multidisciplinary approach generally lead to favourable therapeutic response. During radiotherapy of this region, oral mucosa is inevitably covered within irradiated volume. Radical therapy is achieved with high doses of radiation, which usually results in development of undesired toxic effects, which, depending on the time of manifestation can be acute and late. Acute radiation toxicity occurs during or immediately after completion of performed therapy, and the late one several months or years after the completed treatment. The most common acute complications in the oral cavity are inflammation of oral mucosa, loss of taste, dry mouth and secondary infections. Late complications include radiation caries, trismus, and osteoradionecrosis. The aim of this paper was to present the effects and specificities of toxicity observed on oral cavity tissues after radiotherapy.

Abstract Decoronation is a surgical procedure based on idea of sectioning tooth crown and maintaining the root in situ with intention to preclude occurrence of severe deformities of bone and soft tissue which may aggravate later rehabilitation of patient. The aim of this report is to present the use of decoronation in a young adult patient as a solution in order to preserve sufficient amount of bone for delayed implant placement and decrease volume of grafting material to a minimum. Obtained results showed this procedure may greatly improve anatomical conditions for implant placement while reducing invasiveness and required financial means.

Summary One of the objectives of prosthetic dentistry is to restore teeth in harmony with temporo-mandibular joints. Articulator is a device that allows an operator to fabricate a restoration that will be physiologically and psychologically successful. But how much do we really know about the origin of articulators? First articulator designs attempted to duplicate anatomic relationships and functional movements. More sophisticated articulators evolved as more new knowledge about anatomy, mandibular movements and mechanical principles were obtained. The aim of this article was to describe the origin, history and evolution of articulators through the years. For this article, an electronic search was performed across three databases (Science Direct, PubMed and Google Scholar) for relevant citations. Keywords such as articulators, history, early articulators were used alone and in combination for the search. The option of “related articles” was also utilized. Finally, search was performed on the review articles and the most relevant papers were selected.

Summary Introduction Human organism can be identified through testing and analysis of DNA sequences. The most common source of DNA for analysis is blood, soft tissues, hair, bones and teeth. Teeth represent a tissue of choice for analysis in those cases where there is high degree of degradation of other tissues. Hard tooth structure provides protection and preservation of DNA molecules. The aim was to investigate which group of teeth and dental tissue (pulp or hard dental tissues) has the greatest amount of DNA. Material and method Forty-five extracted teeth were analyzed. In the first examination 30 teeth were divided into the three groups (10 teeth each): first group were incisors, second premolars and third molars. The teeth were measured before and after the procedure of DNA isolation using special scale with precision of 0.02-0.000005ng. The procedure included grinding teeth in a blender and DNA isolation using commercial kits (isolation with magnetic particles). For the second test 15 teeth divided into two groups were used. In the first group isolation of DNA molecules was performed from pulp tissue, and in the second group from hard dental tissues. The quantification of samples was done with Quantifiler® Duo DNA Quantification Kit by Applied Biosystems. Results The greatest amount of DNA was obtained from molars (0.230011ng/μl/g) while the smallest amount of DNA was obtained from incisors and it was 0.06437ng/μl/g. In addition, the amount of DNA isolated from pulp tissue was significantly greater than that from hard dental tissues (pulp of molars obtained quantitatively the largest amount of DNA). Conclusion Main tissue to be used for the isolation of DNA from a tooth is pulp, but in those cases when it is not present (endodontic treatment), hard dental tissues provide sufficient quantity of DNA for identification procedures. The group of teeth that provides the greatest amount of DNA is molars.

Summary Introduction The aim of this research was to determine oral hygiene related habits, knowledge and behavior in children with asthma compared to healthy children. Methodology This study included 136 children, between 6 to 16 years of age, divided into the two groups. The first group included children with asthma (study group - SG), while the second included healthy children (control group - CG). A questionnaire containing three groups of questions related to oral-hygiene and dietery habits as well as oral health related behaviour in children was prepared. Results The percentage of children from SG that brush teeth several times a day was 60.2% compared to 77.2% of CG children (p<0.05). 19.1% of SG group children versus 38.2% of CG children brush their teeth longer than 2 minutes (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of knowledge about plaque impact on oral health between the two groups (p>0.05). More than half (52.9%) of CG respondents regularly visit dentist, while 50.0% of SG goes regularly (p<0.01). 51.5% of CG children visit the pediatric dentist due to preventive reasons, while SG children goes mainly due to rehabilitation of teeth (42.6%). The fear of dental procedures is more pronounced in SG compared to CG children (p<0.001). Conclusion Oral hygiene related habits and oral health behavior were worse in children with asthma, while no difference was found in relation to the knowledge among the observed groups.

Summary Impacted tooth is a tooth that has failed to reach occlusal plane, with 2/3 of completed root growth. There are various reasons for teeth impaction, however, lack of space for its emergence is considered to be the main reason. The most commonly impacted teeth are lower wisdom teeth, then upper wisdom teeth, upper canines, and less frequently lower premolars. There are only few studies that have addressed the issue of impacted lower premolars, their etiology, prevalence and treatment. The patient (22 years old) visited orthodontst for the lower jaw aesthetic teeth corrections, due to crowding. Ortopantomography analysis revealed impacted lower right second premolar that caused resorption of mesial root of the first molar. The treatment plan included tooth #46 extraction and placing orthodontic brackets on the impacted second premolar. The next step was extrusion of the tooth #45, its introduction to occlusal plane and orthodontic treatment resumption. Orthodontic treatment of impacted teeth with fixed orthodontic appliance provides excellent therapeutic results. The treatment success depends primarily on adequate planning, cooperation and joint work of oral surgery and orthodontic specialists.

Summary There is growing need for synthetic tissue replacement materials designed in a way that mimic complex structure of tissues and organs. Among various methods for fabrication of implants (scaffolds), 3D printing is very powerful technique because it enables creation of scaffolds with complex internal structures and high resolution, based on medical data sets. This method allows fabrication of scaffolds with desired macro- and micro-porosity and fully interconnected pore network. Rapid development of 3D printing technologies has enabled various applications from the creation of anatomical training models for complex surgical procedures to the printing of tissue engineering constructs. The aim of current investigations was to develop compatible printers and materials (bioinks) to obtain biomimetic scaffolds, which allow printing of living cells without significant loss of cell viability. The advanced level of such printing assumes “in situ” printing, i.e. printing cells and biomaterials directly onto or in a patient that will reduce recovery time.

Summary Introduction Fear of dental procedures is one of the main reasons for oral health neglect. The first permanent molars are functionally very important. Dental anxiety may compromise their health as well as the health of all other teeth. The aim of the study was to determine dental anxiety level and the status of first permanent molars in healthy school aged children. Methods This study included 105 students, 11 and 15 years of age, from two elementary schools in Foca (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS), questionnaire was used to determine the level of dental fear in patients. The status of first permanent molars was recorded using Klein-Palmer DMFT (decayed, missing, filling teeth) system. The number of healthy first permanent molars (with or without sealant) was registered as well. Results More than one third of respondents involved in this study (33.3%), suffered from severe dental anxiety (DAS = 13–20 points). Statistically significant difference in answers to questions was not observed between respondents of different age but higher level of the fear was registered in girls compared to boys (p < 0.05). Less than 50% of all examined first permanent molars were healthy and sealed fissures were recorded in 9.4% of them. The percentage of decayed molars was about 11%, 7% extracted and 35% filled. Conclusion Application of prophylactic measures is beneficial for dental health preservation. They are pain free and can be used to minimize fear by establishing dentist-patient relationship based on confidence.
