Summary Nasal defects can occur as a result of head and neck trauma, or due to partial or complete ablation or resection of the tumor in the nasal area and surroundings. Smaller defects can be reconstructed surgically while large defects are mainly reconstructed combined surgically and prosthetically. The aim of this paper was to present prosthetic reconstruction of the nasal defect by colored vinyl polysiloxane prosthesis retained with craniofacial basal disc implants. An adequate aesthetics and stability of the prosthesis was achieved during mandible and mimic muscles movements.

Summary Introduction Development of inflammatory lesions or their persistence after primary treatment is considered endodontic failure. The reason for failure can be complex anatomy of the canal system and numerous iatrogenic factors. The objective of this study was to analyze, clinically and radiographically, the causes of primary endodontic treatment failure and assess possibilities for retreatment of teeth with failed endodontic treatment. Method The study included 79 teeth (36 multirooted and 43 singlerooted tooth) indicated for repeated endodontic treatment. Based on the radiographic assessment of the status of periapical structures, teeth were divided into two groups. The first group included teeth without periapical lesions, i.e. the healthy periodontal tissues (PAI score of 1 and 2) in which retreatment was required for prosthodontic reason due to the poor quality of obturation (28 teeth), and the second group included teeth with visible signs of periapical tissue damage (PAI scores 3, 4 and 5) (51 teeth). In both groups, quality of obturation, coronal sealing and the presence or absence of clinical symptoms was analyzed. Results The most common radiographic finding of definitive obturation was short filling (65.8% of cases); “forgotten” canals (25.3%); non-homogeneous obturation with correct length (5.1%) and fractured instrument (3.8%). There was significant difference between healthy periodontal ligament and adequate restoration (P < 0.001). In 95% of patients with symptoms, changes in the periapical tissue were observed. Also, there was significant difference in the presence of symptoms after primary treatments, between the teeth with healthy apical periodontal tissue and teeth with periapical lesions (P = 0.019). Conclusion The outcome of the root canal treatment is significantly affected by the quality (density) of obturation and the presence and quality of coronal restoration. In patients with symptoms there were changes in the periapical tissue.

Summary Root canal (endodontic) treatment is demanding and complex procedure. A variety of difficulties can occur in different phases of endodontic procedure. Complex anatomorphological tooth structure, curved canals, close proximity of lower molars and premolars to inferior alveolar nerve make endodontic treatment even more challenging. During endodontic treatment, an inferior alveolar nerve may become traumatized and symptoms may vary from mild neurosensory dysfunction to a complete loss of sensation in the innervation area of damaged nerve. The aim of this paper is to present a clinical case of endodontic treatment of lower second molar with C-shaped root canal in a patient with paraesthesia of inferior alveolar nerve due to endodontic origin.

Summary Treatment of bone tissue injuries and diseases is still a great challenge for surgeons, but also for researchers who work with materials. Today stem cells are commonly used in bone tissue engineering. However, advances in biocompatible materials design, especially biodegradable porous structure (scaffold) is gaining an important role in the treatment of diseased bone tissue. The basic advantage of these carriers is specifically designed scaffold with defined porosity and pore structure that is favourable for cells settlement. Scaffolds are most commonly used as ceramic brackets because they have excellent characteristics in biodegradation and bioactivity. The process of scaffold production is important because the appropriate technology must ensure control of liquids and reproducibility of scaffold production through standardized process. The aim of this study was to present some of different procedures of scaffold production in bone tissue engineering and point out the advantages and disadvantages of these methods.

Summary Introduction There is growing interest in the world for estimating the cost for the treatment of a disease. This value can be used to determine to which extent a particular disease or group of diseases burden society in terms of the global crisis (Segel 2006). In 2000, Organization for Economic Countries Development (OECD) established a System of Health Accounts (SHA), and provided methodological guide for calculating the cost of treating the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the cost of individual health care in the Republic of Serbia according to the major International Classification of Diseases (ICD) for the period 2010-2015. Material and Methods A retrospective and comparative analysis of health statistics from the database of the Institute of Public Health of Serbia (IPHS) and financial information provided by the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) in the period 2010-2015 was performed. Financial information and data on hospital services, outpatient, home health care, auxiliary health care services, drug consumption and consumer goods in healthcare were analyzed using SHA methodology. Results showed that during observation period the maximum cost of individual health care in Serbia by main classification ICD was achieved in 2015 and it was 194,128,864,011 RSD (€1,580,853,941; $1,764,807,854) and the minimal cost was achieved in 2010, 151,333,139,835 RSD (€1,434,464,541; $1,908,843,843). Conclusion The cost of individual health care in the Republic of Serbia in the period 2010-2015 increased by thirty percent. The highest amount was allocated to treat people with diseases of the circulatory system.

Summary Introduction Local therapy of denture stomatitis (DS) associated with Candida species fungi infection usually involves the application of nystatin and miconazole. Due to the fact that these drugs may be less efficient against biofilm and possible resistance development, a new approach in the treatment includes the use of antiseptic agents. The aim of the study was to compare clinical and microbiological therapeutic outcomes of antiseptic solution Listerine® and Daktanol® antifungal oral gel in the treatment of DS associated with Candida species fungi. Material and Methods The study included 30 patients affected by DS, divided into the two treatment groups, control group (n=15) treated by Daktanol® gel and experimental group (n=15) treated by the antiseptic solution Listerine®. Successful treatment was evaluated based on palatal mucosa inflammation reduction classified according to the Newton classification and the difference in the number of fungal colony- forming units (CFU) isolated by smears before and after the treatment that lasted 14 days. Results Reduction in inflammation intensity and fungal CFU number on palatal mucosa (p<0,01) as well as on denture base (p<0,01) were observed in both groups of subjects after the treatment. Conclusion Antiseptic solution Listerine® and Daktanol® antifungal gel both reduced palatal mucosal inflammation and CFU number of fungi in mouth without significant differences among them. CFU number of fungi isolated from denture base was significantly lower after the treatment with Listerine® (p<0.05).

Summary Introduction Knowledge of biological and cultural heritage represents a significant basis for the advance of human civilization. The aim of this study was to determine and define dental health status of pre-historic people of the Vinca culture. Material and method Study included twenty skeleton remnants of different gender and age from anthropological series of Gomolava. Skeletons originated from one necropolis and two individual graves dating from mid and early Neolithic periods of the Vinca culture. Based on radiocarbon analysis absolute skeletal age was determined to date within the periods from 5848±38 to 5739±35 BC. Preservation of skeletons varied from completely preserved skulls and jaws to fragmented parts of jaws. Data analysis was performed with methodology used in the research of human population teeth and jaws from the Lepenski Vir culture. Results Results showed high level of teeth abrasion (98,1%), medium level of dental calculus deposits (44,9%), low level of tooth decay, significant number of retained roots, as well as the occurrence of periapical lesions and periodontal disease within the neolith population of Gomolava site. Conclusion Taking into account absolute age of examined skeletons, collected data are very significant, from the perspective of its wide content. From a pathological perspective, teeth abrasion stands out as a dominant feature, while tooth decay fits within standard values for human population of the neolith period.

Abstract Articulators are instruments that aimed to reproduce the range of jaw movements. The first instrument designs were attempts to duplicate anatomic relations or reproduce functional movements of the anatomy. They were able to preserve centric position only. More sophisticated articulating instruments evolved as more was learned about the anatomy, mandibular movements, and mechanical principles. Over time, interest for articulators progressed. Articulators became adjustable, and they attempted to reproduce jaw movements of each patient by reproducing the anatomy of temporomandibular joints (TMJ’s) and related structures. Part I of the article has discussed evolution of articulators beginning from the 18th century till 1940. A history of articulators from 1940 till today is discussed in the present article.

Summary Introduction Deep caries is a reversible process where caries lesion has affected bigger part of dentin and only thin layer of softened dentin that separates lesion from the pulp is remained. The objective of this study was to identify and determine serotypes of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in teeth with deep caries lesions at the beginning of their treatment. Material and methods Clinical research included 29 patients of both genders, aged 16 to 40 and 45 permanent teeth with diagnosed deep caries lesions based on medical history, clinical and radiographic examination. After cavity preparation and removal of softened dentin, microbiological swab was taken from the bottom of the cavity. Swabs were disposed in special sterile micro tubes and stored at the temperature of −80°C until serotyping was done (determination of serotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans bacterium). Results In one of the 3 samples two serotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans (b and c) were identified which is relatively rare finding, while in the second and third sample serotypes (a) and serotype (b) was identified, respectively. Conclusion In the three samples the 3 serotypes were found (a, b and c) and one of the samples was carrying even two different serotypes, which is a rare phenomenon. For more serious epidemiological study of A. Actinomycetemcomitans serotypes at the population level incomparably larger starting material is necessary, at least few hundred of samples.

Conclusion In the three samples the 3 serotypes were found (a, b and c) and one of the samples was carrying even two different serotypes, which is a rare phenomenon. For more serious epidemiological study of A. Actinomycetemcomitans serotypes at the population level incomparably larger starting material is necessary, at least few hundred of samples.","PeriodicalId":52984,"journal":{"name":"Stomatoloski glasnik Srbije","volume":"103 1","pages":"176 - 182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91298331","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}
