Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a common diagnostic problem. No universal radiological parameter of the analysis was introduced. Aim. Comparison of values of selected radiological parameters between asymptomatic patients and those with the TMJ arthropathy. Material and methods. Retrospective analysis of CT scans of patients of the Department of Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology and the Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Surgery and Implantology, Medical University of Warsaw. Patients were divided into two groups: 1. without TMJ disorders, 2. with TMJ dysfunction symptoms. Following parameters of heads of mandible were analyzed bilaterally: shape, anteroposterior and lateromedial dimensions, the distance between lateral points of both heads (HL-HR), distance between a head and the mandibular fossa. The angle between the horizontal axis of the head of mandible and the line drawn by posterior points of heads of mandible was measured. Results. The most common type of the head of mandible in group 1 (40 patients; 13 women, 27 men) was convex (14 patients), in group 2 (16 patients; 14 women, 2 men) – plane (8 patients). Significant differences between groups were obtained for: GL-GP (group 1 – 120.35 mm, group 2 – 115.4 mm), dimensions of heads of mandible: lateromedial – 19.7 mm, 18.14 mm, anteroposterior – 8.03 mm, 7.04 mm for group 1 and 2, respectively. Conclusions. Computed tomography allowed for an accurate analysis of the TMJ components. Measurements of structures discussed in this work should be a part of the diagnosis of patients with TMJ dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":55698,"journal":{"name":"New Medicine","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43857489","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}

Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are benign lesions thought to be caused by the abnormal development of the lymphatic system in utero. Most commonly, LMs affect the head and neck. Because of LM morphology and location close to important vascular and nervous structures, surgical treatment is difficult, associated with a high risk of complications, and often incomplete. Aim. Bleomycin sclerotherapy is a recognised minimally invasive technique used in the treatment of LMs. We present the outcomes of bleomycin therapy of LMs located in the head and neck area in children receiving therapy in our centre. Material and methods. Between September 2017 and October 2019, treatment with bleomycin was provided to a total of 6 patients with LMs of the head and neck, aged from 3 weeks to 10 years. The procedures were performed under ultrasound and/or fluoroscopy guidance. The aspects analysed included the number of procedures applied in patients, drug doses, treatment response and complications. Results. In 4 patients, the LM was located on the neck, in 1 patient ? on the neck and in the mediastinum, and in 1 patient in the cheek region. Three patients underwent 2 procedures, 1 patient ? 3 procedures, and 2 patients ? 1 procedure. The treatment outcome was excellent and good in 4 patients and 1 patient, respectively. However, in 1 patient, the therapeutic effect was unsatisfactory, and a decision was made to administer another course of treatment. The maximum single dose of bleomycin was 10,000 IU; the dose of 700 IU/kg BW was not exceeded. No complications were observed after the procedures. Conclusions. Preliminary results suggest that bleomycin sclerotherapy of LMs in the head and neck region in children is an effective and safe treatment modality.","PeriodicalId":55698,"journal":{"name":"New Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47612673","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}

Congenital cholesteatoma is a rare middle ear pathology in children. An abnormality can be classified as congenital cholesteatoma if it meets certain clinical criteria. Aim. To present patients with congenital cholesteatoma hospitalised at the Department of Paediatric Otolaryngology of the Medical University of Warsaw in 2018-2019 in whom the abnormality was detected incidentally during paediatric and ENT examination. The disease was hidden behind an intact tympanic membrane with no clinical symptoms. Material and methods. A thorough ENT history was taken and microotoscopy and a hearing test were conducted. Preoperative computed tomography of the temporal bone was performed to assess the extent of the pathology in the middle ear. A single-stage surgical procedure was performed in all the patients to remove the pathological growths from the middle ear. Subsequently the patients’ hearing and surgical outcomes were evaluated. Results. During surgery, in two patients cholesteatoma masses were found in the anterosuperior part of the tympanic cavity and in the Eustachian tube area; in one patient, the growth filled the whole mesotympanum. No inflammatory lesions were found in the mastoid cells and antrum. No cholesteatoma recurrence has been found found in follow-up to date. Conclusions. 1. Congenital cholesteatoma in children is most often detected accidentally and localized in the antero-upper quadrant of the tympanic cavity. 2. Congenital cholesteatoma is a slow-growing lesion and develops behind the unchanged eardrum.3. Diagnosis is based on microotoscopy. 4.

Olczak-Kowalczyk","doi":"10.25121/newmed.2019.23.4.152","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25121/newmed.2019.23.4.152","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction. Pit and fissure sealing is a effective procedure in preventing caries, as proven in numerous clinical trials. Materials used for this technique are usually resin-based fissure sealants, but some studies suggested using flowable composites as well. The latest generations of these materials include self-adhesive flowable composites and bulk fill composites. Retention of these materials is one of the main factors that contribute to caries prevention. Therefore, shear bond strength tests that determine the material’s ability to bond with the enamel may help determine their clinical effectiveness. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the shear bond strength to the enamel of the following materials: Helioseal F (Ivoclar Vivadent), Vertise Flow (Kerr), and SDR (Dentsply Sirona) with XP Bond (Dentsply Sirona). Material and methods. 15 permanent third molars extracted for orthodontic reasons with prepared flat enamel surfaces were randomly divided into three groups. Tested materials ? Helioseal F, Vertise Flow and SDR with XP Bond were polymerised on these surfaces, using a mould. Samples were immersed in distilled water, kept at 37°C for 24 h, and then installed in an Instron testing machine. The machine stopped at sample fracture and the load was recorded. Shear bond strengths were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed. Also, samples were assessed using an optical microscope to assess sample failure type. Results. 35 samples, including 11 Helioseal F, 12 Vertise Flow, and 12 SDR were analysed. SDR with XP bond had the highest shear bond strength ? 23.70 (± 6.35) MPa; Vertise Flow ? 20.10 (± 3.95) MPa, and Helioseal F the lowest ? 15.93 (± 3.17) MPa. There was a statistically significant difference between flowable composites (SDR and Vertise Flow) and resin-based fissure sealant (Helioseal F). There were 18 cohesive sample fractures within the enamel, 14 adhesive fractures and 4 mixed. Conclusions. The shear bond strength of SDR with XP Bond and Vertise Flow is statistically significantly higher than that of Helioseal F. However, it is also crucial to clinically assess the effectiveness of these materials.","PeriodicalId":55698,"journal":{"name":"New Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44335365","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}

Chronic sinusitis affects most patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The Lund-Mackay (LM) scale is an objective tool allowing for easy assessment of the severity of lesions in sinuses observed in computed tomography (CT). The link between clinical picture, image results and CFTR gene mutations is not well evaluated. Aim. To specify the correlation of the severity of lesions found in computed tomography and the CFTR gene mutation type causing an underlying disease in children with cystic fibrosis. Material and methods. Data of the children with cystic fibrosis who underwent CT between 2016-2018 at the Department of Paediatric Otolaryngology of the Medical University of Warsaw was analysed. The following factors were taken into account: age, sex and CFTR gene mutation type. Each CT was assessed using the basic and modified Lund-Mackay Score (LMS and MLMS). The study was retrospective. Results. 34 children, 16 girls and 18 boys aged between 3 and 17 years (median age ? 10 years), were enrolled to the study at the time of CT. LMS median was 17 (range 2-23), and MLMS ? 18 (range 2-24), and their difference was statistically significant. 16 patients were F508del homozygous. Severe CFTR mutation in both alleles was observed in 28 patients, and mild mutation was found in at least one allele in 6 patients. LMS median in the group of patients with severe mutation was 17.5, and in the group of patients with mild mutation ? 14.5. MLMS median was 18 and 14.5, respectively. The difference was statistically significant for both LMS and MLMS. No statistically significant correlation was found between the LMS and MLMS results and sex. The weak positive correlation between LMS and MLMS and patient’s age was not statistically significant. Hypoplasia or aplasia of one or more paranasal sinuses was observed in 11 children (32%). Conclusions. The score on the modified Lund-Mackay scale is higher than the score on the basic LMS scale in children with cystic fibrosis. The group of patients with a severe CFTR gene mutation has higher scores for both LMS and MLMS than the group with a mild mutation. Due to frequent sinus aplasia in children with cystic fibrosis, the use of the modified Lund-Mackay scale allows for error avoidance when comparing CT results of different patients.","PeriodicalId":55698,"journal":{"name":"New Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46232179","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}

The overall health condition, as well as the course and duration of pregnancy are important determinants of the term of delivery and child’s well-being, including birth weight and oral health. Unfortunately, dental attendance of pregnant women is insufficient. This may result from the poor oral health knowledge of dentists and obstetrician-gynaecologists. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge of Polish dentists and obstetrician-gynaecologists on oral health and dental care in pregnant women, as well as its socio-economic determinants. Material and methods. An anonymous questionnaire for dentists and obstetrician-gynaecologists, which included questions on the demographic characteristics of respondents, as well as 29 single-choice questions on dental issues in pregnancy, which we classified into 4 thematic categories (I ? relationship between maternal periodontal diseases and the course of pregnancy/child’s health; II ? dental management and oral physiological changes in pregnancy; III ? the safety of dental procedures in pregnancy; IV ? providing health advice) was carried out. The data were analysed statistically. Results. A total of 485 dentists and 185 obstetrician-gynaecologists (670 doctors in total) completed the questionnaire. Dentists were more likely to know the relationship between oral conditions in pregnancy and birth weight, the future risk of periodontal diseases and caries in the child. However, they were less likely to provide correct answers to questions on the safety of diagnostic radiology in pregnancy. On the other hand, obstetrician-gynaecologists were more likely to have doubts about performing some dental procedures, including fluoride varnish application and scaling. The mean number of correct answers to all questions was higher in the group of dentists vs. gynaecologists. Correlations with age and a longer period of practice were found in the group of dentists, while correlations with age and the type of practice were observed among gynaecologists. Conclusions. The poor level of knowledge of Polish dentists and gynaecologists on dental treatment and its safety in pregnant women indicates the need for education of dental and obstetric practitioners. The level of knowledge in both these professional groups is associated with age and, additionally, with the length of practice in the case of dentists, and the type of practice in the case of obstetrician-gynaecologists.","PeriodicalId":55698,"journal":{"name":"New Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42427872","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}

Premature loss of the first primary molar may cause malocclusion or impair permanent tooth eruption. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess spatial changes in the dental arch after unilateral premature extraction of the first primary molar. Material and methods. The alginate impressions were taken in patients aged between 5 and 7 years who met the inclusion criteria based on medical history, clinical examination and panoramic x-ray during a preliminary qualifying examination 14 days before or on the day of extraction (before the procedure), as well as during follow up (at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 after extraction). Gypsum models were used to measure the circumference of the arch, the posterior and intercanine width, as well as the interdental distance: IIID-VM, IIID-VD on the side of extraction and the opposite side of the arch. The data were analysed statistically (Statistica 10, Statsoft, p < 0.05). Results. A total of 14 mandibular and 16 maxillary teeth were extracted in 27 children aged between 5 and 7 years (mean age ± SD = 6.64 ± 1.01; 15 boys and 12 girls). A significant loss of interdental spaces for IIID-VM and IIID-VD between the study vs. control side due to distalisation of canine and mesialisation of the second primary molar was observed. Much less significant displacement of these teeth was noted in the case of the presence of the first permanent molar at the time of first primary molar extraction. Conclusions. Premature loss of first primary molars results in reduced interdental distances which does not hinder the eruption of their permanent successors. There is no need for space maintainers.","PeriodicalId":55698,"journal":{"name":"New Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41469557","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}

Improper eating habits among children and adolescents often lead to overweight and obesity. Research indicates that these are risk factors for many diseases, including diseases in the oral cavity. Aim. To analyse the correlations of selected parameters of dental and periodontal health as well as oral hygiene status in overweight and obese children and adolescents versus control group. Material and methods. The study included 120 patients aged 11-18 years, who were classified into a study group with 60 overweight/obese individuals and a control group of 60 individuals with normal body weight based on BMI (Body Mass Index). Each patient underwent anthropometric measurements, such as height (cm), body weight (kg), which were used to calculate BMI. Additional measurements were taken of waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC), to obtain the waist-hip ratio (WHR). Clinical examination of the oral cavity included an assessment of dentition (DMF), oral hygiene API (Approximal Plaque Index) and periodontal tissue (PD ? Pocket Depth, CAL ? Clinical Attachment Level, %BOP ? % Bleeding On Probing) and CPITN (The Community Periodontal Index for Treatment Needs). Results. Statistically significant differences were found between patient groups with BMI ≥ 25 and BMI < 25 in the values of the following parameters: DMF p = 0.005, API p < 0.001, %BOP p < 0.001, PD p < 0.001, CPI p < 0.001.
