Tooth hypersensitivity is a common clinical complaint after dental treatment. Objective: This study presents a case report of the use of a diode laser for treating tooth hypersensitivity in a patient with a cantilever fixed partial denture abutment. Case Report: A 23-year-old female patient presented to the Faculty of Dentistry, Umm Al-Qura University in Makkah, with the chief complaint of pain in a deeply carious maxillary right first premolar. The tooth was extracted, and a cantilever fixed partial denture was placed using the second premolar as an abutment. One year later, the patient experienced tooth hypersensitivity under the bridge. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was implemented to treat cervical hypersensitivity using a novel protocol with a total application time of 2.5 minutes across two visits. LLLT effectively relieved the pain. Conclusion: Diode laser is a valid method for treating tooth hypersensitivity in fixed partial denture patients.

Objective: There are many different methods for removing caries. In this study, to evaluate four caries removal methods in terms of patient comfort and to evaluate the clinical success of restorations according to modified-USPHS criteria. Methods: In 31 patients with at least 4 Class II caries in their posterior teeth, 4 teeth were randomly divided into four groups and 4 different methods (conventional method, Carisolv, Papacarie, Er-Cr:YSGG Laser) were used for caries removal. Pain formation during caries removal was determined by FACE Pain Scale questionnaire. The restorations were controlled with Modified-USPHS criteria in 3-6-12 months period. Mann-Whitney U test for two-group comparisons, Kruskal Wallis H test for comparison of three or more groups, Wilcoxon Sign test was used to examine the changes according to time (p < 0.05). Results: A significant difference was found between conventional methods and alternative methods in terms of pain tolerance. In the 1-year clinical evaluation of the restorations, there was a significant decrease in the postoperative sensitivity in all groups. A significant difference was detected in Carisolv and laser groups between 6-months and 12-months for marginal coloration. A significant difference was found between the conventional and laser groups between 6-months and 12-months in terms of color match. Conclusion: The success of restorations, efficacy and efficiency of the methods used in the evaluation of all groups were found to be successful. In terms of patient comfort, all alternative methods gave positive results.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is a disease that is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and is characterized by severe ear pain, auricular vesicular eruptions, and peripheral facial paralysis. Objective: The aim of this case report is to provide information about the clinical findings and treatment process of RHS, which is a rare case and may have oral findings and stress the importance of early diagnosis. Case Report: A 60-year-old male patient had previously consulted an otolaryngologist and a family physician with complaints of vesicular eruptions in the right ear auricle and on the mandible. The patient in whom a diagnosis could not be established presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology after exacerbated lesions. White plaque-like and ruptured vesicular lesions were observed in the intraoral examination. All vesicular lesions were on one side of the face, and the patient was referred to the dermatology clinic with the diagnosis of RHS. Facial paralysis fully recovered in a short time after early diagnosis and treatment. It should be kept in mind that there may also be oral findings in RHS, and a patient’s intraoral and extraoral examination findings should be evaluated together. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment are highly important in preventing complications such as permanent facial paralysis, vestibulocochlear dysfunction, and hearing loss

Fenestration term is derived from the Latin word ‘fenestra’ means ‘window’. Gingival fenestration is not found in routine while its actual occurrence is assumed to be higher. Additionally, if these mucogingival defects persist for a longer duration it may lead to adverse outcomes like compromised esthetics, hypersensitivity, plaque and calculus deposition, and susceptibility to dental caries. Present cases of gingival fenestration were successfully treated by using full-thickness flap elevation with connective tissue graft placement. Two cases were presented with the accumulation of plaque and calculus and having gingival fenestration to the respective sites. After phase 1 therapy, full thickness flap was raised and a connective tissue graft was placed beneath the fenestrated area. The successful results were obtained in both cases in terms of complete closure of gingival fenestration defects and well-adapted margins with adjacent tissues at one year of follow-up. Full thickness flap with connective tissue graft procedure resulted in complete closure of gingival fenestration in both cases with no recurrence at one-year follow-up and can be used as a successful and predictable treatment modality for the management of such cases.

Image representation via machine learning is an approach to quantitatively represent histopathological images of head and neck tumors for future applications of artificial intelligence-assisted pathological diagnosis systems. Objective: This study compares image representations produced by a pre-trained convolutional neural network (VGG16) to those produced by a vision transformer (ViT-L/14) in terms of the classification performance of head and neck tumors. Methods: Whole-slide images of five oral tumor categories (n = 319 cases) were analyzed. Image patches were created from manually annotated regions at 4096, 2048, and 1024 pixels and rescaled to 256 pixels. Image representations were classified by logistic regression or multiclass Support Vector Machines for binary or multiclass classifications, respectively. Results: VGG16 with 1024 pixels performed best for benign and malignant salivary gland tumors (BSGT and MSGT) (F1 = 0.703 and 0.803). VGG16 outperformed ViT for BSGT and MSGT with all magnification levels. However, ViT outperformed VGG16 for maxillofacial bone tumors (MBTs), odontogenic cysts (OCs), and odontogenic tumors (OTs) with all magnification levels (F1 = 0.780; 0.874; 0.751). Conclusion: Being more texture-biased, VGG16 performs better in representing BSGT and MSGT

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the DNA damage caused by ceramic bracket (Clear II, SIA Orthodontic Manufacturer Srl, Italy) on human buccal mucosal cells using comet assay and the mutagenicity of orthodontic bonding system (Transbond XT; 3M Unitek) by Ames test. Methods: In this study, twenty orthodontic patients were recruited from Specialist Orthodontic Clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. The Buccal mucosal cell sample was obtained from each patient at three time points-before (TO), after one month (T1) and after two months (T2) of ceramic bracket placement for performing comet assay. The spot test version of Ames test was performed using four Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) tester strains (TA 98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537) for mutagenicity testing. Total comet score (TCS) and damage frequency (DF) were used to determine the DNA damage using non-parametric Friedman test followed by multiple pairwise comparison. The Ames test was analysed by a non-statistical method based on revertant growth ring formation. Results: There was no significant change of both TCS and DF between T0 and T1, but both parameters increased significantly from T0 to T1 and from T1 to T2. Non-statistical analysis was carried out to evaluate the results of Ames test based on the formation of revertant colony growth ring. None of the S. Typhimurium tester strains showed any revertant growth ring formation around the light cure adhesive primer. Conclusion: Ceramic bracket does not cause any DNA damage on human buccal mucosal cells and light cure adhesive primer is non mutagenic under the present test conditions.
目的:本研究的目的是用彗星法测定陶瓷支架(Clear II, SIA Orthodontic Manufacturer Srl, Italy)对人颊粘膜细胞的DNA损伤和正畸结合系统(Transbond XT;3M Unitek)通过Ames测试。方法:在本研究中，从马来西亚圣士大学医院正畸专科诊所招募20例正畸患者。每个患者在放置陶瓷支架前(TO)、放置一个月后(T1)和放置两个月后(T2)三个时间点获得口腔粘膜细胞样本，进行彗星试验。采用4株鼠伤寒沙门菌(S. Typhimurium)试验菌株(ta98、TA100、TA1535和TA1537)进行Ames试验现场试验。总彗星评分(TCS)和损伤频率(DF)测定DNA损伤，采用非参数Friedman检验，并进行多两两比较。Ames试验采用基于反向生长环形成的非统计方法进行分析。结果:TCS和DF在T0和T1之间没有明显变化，但T0到T1和T1到T2这两个参数均显著升高。基于反向菌落生长环的形成，对Ames试验结果进行非统计分析。所有鼠伤寒沙门氏菌试验菌株均未在光固化胶粘剂引物周围形成任何反向生长环。结论:在本试验条件下，陶瓷支架对人口腔粘膜细胞无DNA损伤，光固化粘接引物无致突变性。

The treatment of skeletal and dental Class III malocclusions is a challenge for orthodontists, and one of the treatment alternatives for a non-growing patient is orthodontic camouflage treatment. Different approaches may result in different outcomes; therefore, a proper diagnosis and treatment plan are needed to avoid undesirable effects. In this case, a 21-year-old female patient presented with a skeletal Class III malocclusion, with a normal maxilla, prognathic mandible, moderate crowding, and an acceptable facial profile. The treatment modality for orthodontic camouflage treatment was a conventional orthodontic appliance with the extraction of mandibular first premolars to resolve crowding. At the end of the treatment, a Class I canine and incisor relationship was achieved while maintaining a Class III molar relationship. After 25 months of treatment, the patient had a more pleasant smile with improved functional occlusion.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the first endodontic case experiences, self-confidence levels, and perceptions toward endodontic learning of final-year undergraduate students. Methods: An online questionnaire was emailed to 270 final-year dental students at 10 Malaysian dental schools. The questionnaire consists of 29 questions on students’ experience, self-confidence, and perception toward endodontic learning. Results: The response rate was 74.4%. The most frequently treated case was tooth diagnosed as nonvital associated with periapical periodontitis. Most of the students perceived working length determination as the most difficult stage and reported having low confidence in locating canal orifices in multirooted teeth and achieving satisfactory obturation. Overall, the students were satisfied with the endodontic knowledge taught by their respective faculties. Conclusion: Endodontic teaching in Malaysian dental schools was perceived as satisfactory by most dental students. Although endodontic treatment is perceived as difficult, students demonstrated high confidence in carrying out this treatment. However, they had limited ability in treating the complex root canal system.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide morphometric and anatomical data for mandibular lingula (Li) in The Turkish population using three dimensional-cone beam computed tomography (3D-CBCT) images. Methods: CBCT images of the patients taken between July 2020 and March 2021, were retrieved from the archival records. A total of 100 Li’s of 50 patients who met the criteria of this study were evaluated. The distances between the tip of the Li and ramal landmarks/occlusal plane were measured and the shape of the Li was evaluated on 3D-CBCT images. Results: CBCT images of the 50 patients (19 males and 31 females) with an age range of 18 to 56 years were included in this study. Significant differences were found for the measurements of right LP (p < 0.001), left LP (p = 0.003), right LOP (p = 0.016) and left LOP (p = 0.007) between genders. A significant difference was observed for LI (p = 0.024) between the left and right sides. Regarding the shape of the Li significant difference was found between the right and left sides (p = 0.003), while no significant differences were observed among genders on either both sides. Conclusion: This study contributes additional data to the literature about the location and morphology of the Li in Turkish subpopulation. These results provide a reference for the clinicians regarding the procedures involving mandibular ramus to perform maneuvers in safe margins.

Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome, also called as Gorlin Gotz syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the presence of multiple odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) of the jaw, basal cell carcinomas and skeletal anomalies. Presence of multiple OKCs is the first clinical manifestation in majority of the cases. Early diagnosis and treatment are of utmost importance in reducing the severity of this syndrome. We hereby report a rare case of Gorlin Goltz syndrome in a 28 years old female patient who presented with multiple cystic lesions in the jaws. Present case also highlights the clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features of this uncommon syndrome.
