Background: the common problem in prosthodontics is a fracture of the denture base and it represents an annoyance for the dentists. Therefore, the option of increasing repair strength using new reinforcement materials is of great interest to prosthodon- tists. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of using a special type of acrylic o-cry1 in repair instead of heat cure acrylic resins and different surface treatments on impact bond strength using Ivomet and conventional curing methods. Materials and Methods: One hundred thirty specimens of heat acrylic resins were constructed. There are 2 main groups accord- ing to curing methods (Ivomet and conventional method curing). For each group, there were 6 groups according to the surface treatments used (untreated, monomer, thiner, zirconium oxide, glass fiber and butt joint with monomer) as well as control group. Results: The study showed that the control group had a higher value of impact strength than other groups which were cured by conventional method. For Ivomet curing, the butt joint with monomer and glass fiber groups improved the impact bond strength in comparison to other groups. Conclusion: the butt joint with monomer treatment and glass fiber groups have improved the impact strength of the repaired acrylic resins when using Ivomet compared with other groups. On the other hand, the use of thiner and zirconium oxide reduced the impact bond strength when using the conventional curing method. The use of Ivomet device in curing samples improved the impact strength of acrylic repaired with O-cry1.

Background: white acrylic resins are widely used for fabrication of scleral part of ocular prostheses to restore acquired or congeni- tal ocular defects. However, such materials are not available in the local markets. Several additive materials, hence, must be applied to the prosthesis to match the colour of natural eye. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of adding titanium dioxide oil paints to scleral part of ocular prosthesis on its porosity. Methods: there were 20 samples in total. The first group was fabricated without addition of oil paint and considered as control. The second group was constructed from heat cured acrylic resin with addition of oil paint in a concentration of 1 ml. A surface area of 1cm 2 was limited in the center of each specimen &observed under optical microscopy and numbers of pores per area was manually determined. All values were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and comparison between 2 groups was obtained using inde- pendent t test. Results: there was an increase in the mean values of porosity following addition of oil paint. The control group presented a lower mean value of porosity compared to experimental group. however, no significant differences between control and TiO 2 group where P >0.05. Conclusion: the incorporation of titanium dioxide into clear acrylic resin increases its ' porosity .
背景:白色丙烯酸树脂被广泛应用于眼球假体巩膜部分的制作，以修复获得性或先天性的眼部缺损。然而，这些材料在当地市场上是买不到的。因此，必须将几种附加材料应用于假体以匹配天然眼睛的颜色。本研究的目的是评估眼假体巩膜部分添加二氧化钛油彩对其孔隙度的影响。方法:共20份样本。第一组制备时不添加油彩，作为对照。第二组由热固化的丙烯酸树脂组成，加入浓度为1ml的油画颜料。每个样品的中心限制1cm 2的表面积，在光学显微镜下观察，并手动确定每个区域的孔数。所有数值均采用SPSS version 20进行分析，两组间比较采用独立t检验。结果:加入油漆后孔隙度平均值有所增加。与实验组相比，对照组的孔隙率平均值较低。对照组与tio2组间差异无统计学意义(P < 0.05)。结论:二氧化钛掺入透明丙烯酸树脂中增加了其孔隙率。

The treatment of distal extension base removable partial denture has long been the dilemma of many Prosthodontists, since the support for this type of restoration is based on two functionally different systems, the teeth and associated periodontal membrane and the edentulous ridges. So one of their most elusive goals were to finish the prosthesis by utilizing both systems of support without exposing the tissues to undue stresses which might lead otherwise to bone resorption. Material and method: A two-dimensional finite element analysis method was used to assess the stress distribution on supporting structure where different rest position, including mesial-occlusal rest, distal-occlusal rest, and mesio-distal occlusal rest. The X, and Y coordinate for each node of the model was transferred to the ANSYS program, a load of 10MP was used in this study, where each of the models was subjected to load distributed on the saddle area. Results: Von Mises stress values revealed that, mesial rest produces less stress concentration

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the intensity of post-surgical pain and swelling experienced by patients who had undergone lower third molar and periapical surgery {(L3MS),(PAS)}, and also to investigate the impact of age and gender on the same parameters. . Methods: The study involved 86 patients; some of whom underwent L3MS (n=46), while the others had PAS (n=40), all procedures were performed under local anesthesia. The visual analogue scale measured pain and swelling for seven consecutive days, after surgery. Results: After L3MS, it was found that patients experienced the most intense pain the day of surgery, with facial swelling reaching a maximum on the 2nd day. In addition, the influence of age and gender on the intensity of pain and degree of swelling was found to be insignificant... Patients who underwent PAS; also reported maximum pain on the day of surgery while swelling reached maximum on the 2nd day. However, female patients reported significantly more post-operative pain than males (P<0.024). No significant differences between females and males were recorded with respect to post-operative swelling, in addition, age was found to have no effect on both pain and swelling. Conclusion: Pain and swelling after L3MS and PAS peaked on the day of surgery and the day after respectively with mild to moderate intensity, it subsided gradually to minimal levels on day 7. Short-term outcomes of L3MS and PAS with respect to degrees of pain and swelling were found to be similar, and it seems to be independent of both’ age and gender.

Background : Stainless steel wires are widely used in fixed orthodontic appliance. In order to have good oral cleaning, an optimum orthodontic force, and desirable biological response and tooth movement, the current study was hence carried out to investigate the impact of Chlorhexidine and Listerine on the surface characteristics of stainless steel wire. Materials and methods : The effect of chemicals was studied through immersing the wires in the solutions for 1.5 hour. The distilled water was considered as control. The samples consisted of 10 wire pieces in the form of U shape with dimensions of (25mm length of bridge,10mm length of arms). Such wires were cut and their straight form were used for corrosion test. Wires were then embedded in base of cold cure acrylic resin ( 3mm thickness,10mm width,65mm length). Next, The wires were connected to conductor rod. A potention state equipment was utilized for testing the samples and a Nikon digital optical microscope was used to identify the surface changes. ANOVA and LSD tests were utilized for statistical analysis. Results : the results indicated that the Listerine group presented the highest mean of corrosion resistance; on the other hand, chlorhexidine group created a greater value of mean in comparison to control group. Furthermore, highly significant differences were observed between two groups (P<0.01). Moreover, there were significant differences among all groups (P<0.01). Conclusion : The Listerine has a significant effect on the surface corrosion of stainless steel wire compared to chlorhexidine. The optical microscope found that there was an increase in presence of pit and scratched areas with Listerine compared with Chlorhexidine.

Background: The accurate treatment of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) can be achieved just when the cause is properly identified. This study had been conducted to find out the relationship between symptoms and the causative factor(s) of the disease, so that to make successful treatment more easily reachable. Method: The study was conducted with informed consent on 124 patients (63 females and 61 males, ages ranging from 39 to 66) complaining of burning mouth syndrome visited the Oral Medicine Clinic in Dentistry College/ Muthanna University and referred by dentists to private clinic for consultation from January 2014 to November 2016. Medical and social history was taken from each patient, haematological investigations and measurement of stimulated salivary flow rate were done for all patients. Intraoral exam was done for each patient to exclude any detectable lesion. Findings were recorded and matched with symptoms for each patient. Each patient received treatment according to diagnosis of causative factor(s) and 6 months follow up was done for each patient after initiation of treatment to evaluate the outcome of treatment and to confirm the accuracy of diagnosis in case of good response to treatment for each patient. Results: Group A: no 41 subjects (33% of all groups): complained of continuous symptomatic day with asymptomatic night, examination and investigations showed that 35 of them (85.4% of group A) were complaining of chronic anxiety and menopause women, while the rest 6 were of similar symptoms but due to different causative factor(s). Group B: Symptoms for one day with asymptomatic following days was the criteria of 27 subjects (21.8% of all groups), 22 of them (81.5% of group B) were with nutritional deficiency and good results were obtained after treatment, the rest 5 were with tongue thrust habit, psychotic and sharpness. Group C: No symptoms on waking which increase throughout the day was associated with 36 subjects (29% of all groups), 30 of them (83.3%) suffer from dry mouth (diabetis, medications or age-related causes), the rest 6 patients complained of sharpness, ill fitted denture and menopause. Group D: Restricted night symptoms with inconstant day symptoms (no 20) (16.1% of all groups), of whom, 18 were associated with sharpness and bad prosthesis (90%) who showed excellent response after treatment, the rest 2 subjects complained of menopause and anxiety. Conclusion: Each causative factor of burning mouth syndrome is characterized by specific criteria of symptoms differ from symptoms caused by another factor(s) which must determine treatment methods.

This study had been conducted to find out the relationship between symptoms and the causative factor(s) of the disease, so that to make successful treatment more easily reachable. Method: The study was conducted with informed consent on 124 patients (63 females and 61 males, ages ranging from 39 to 66) complaining of burning mouth syndrome visited the Oral Medicine Clinic in Dentistry College/ Muthanna University and referred by dentists to private clinic for consultation from January 2014 to November 2016. Medical and social history was taken from each patient, haematological investigations and measurement of stimulated salivary flow rate were done for all patients. Intraoral exam was done for each patient to exclude any detectable lesion. Findings were recorded and matched with symptoms for each patient. Each patient received treatment according to diagnosis of causative factor(s) and 6 months follow up was done for each patient after initiation of treatment to evaluate the outcome of treatment and to confirm the accuracy of diagnosis in case of good response to treatment for each patient. Results: Group A: no 41 subjects (33% of all groups): complained of continuous symptomatic day with asymptomatic night, examination and investigations showed that 35 of them (85.4% of group A) were complaining of chronic anxiety and menopause women, while the rest 6 were of similar symptoms but due to different causative factor(s). Group B: Symptoms for one day with asymptomatic following days was the criteria of 27 subjects (21.8% of all groups), 22 of them (81.5% of group B) were with nutritional deficiency and good results were obtained after treatment, the rest 5 were with tongue thrust habit, psychotic and sharpness.

Background: Wound healing is a complex process, which is influenced by several factors. The use of natural products as an alternative treatment has been on the rise in the last few decades. Honey is a natural product that has been recently introduced in new medical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical honey dressing on healing of chemically induced oral gingival ulcer by histological analysis. Materials and methods: Twenty-six New Zealand rabbits were used and divided into control and treated groups, wound was created on the rabbit oral mucosa by applying a piece of filter paper ( φ 5 mm) soaked with 50% acetic acid for 2 minutes to the mandibular gingival mucosa and then experimental groups treated by daily application of natural honey on the ulcer site for 4 days then the sites of the ulcer were examined histologically . Results: Honey showed marked active anti-inflammatory effect as a natural agent on a chemically induced oral ulcer in treated animals, histological examination of biopsies from ulcers after four days of treatment showed marked difference in the rate of healing process and epithelialization of ulcers site between the two groups. Conclusions: honey has a clear effect on the healing process of oral gingival ulcer.
