Background: Nasal septum deviation might disrupt the integrity of nasal septum components, resulting in deformity. Such changes might affect the morphology of adjacent structures. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the dimensions of the palate in subjects with and without nasal septum deviation on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images in an Iranian population. Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, the CBCT images of subjects with and without nasal septum deviation were evaluated in two groups (n=107) referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Tabriz Faculty of Dentistry in 2017. The presence or absence of nasal septum deviation and its severity were evaluated in association with palatal dimensions. Data were analyzed by SPSS. Independent samples t test was used to compare the dimensions of the palate. Finally, the Mann-Whitney U test was employed to compare palatal arch depth (PAD)/palatal interalveolar length (PIL) ratios. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the palatal depth (P=0.967), palatal width (P=0.223), and palatal depth/palatal width ratio (P=0.644). However, the results demonstrated significant differences in palatal depth (P<0.001) and palatal width (P=0.05) between male and female subjects. Conclusions: Overall, no significant differences were observed in the dimensions of the palate (depth and width) and their ratios between subjects with and without nasal septum deviation, although greater palatal dimensions (depth and width) were detected in males compared to females.

Background: To establish a good and effective relationship between a doctor and his/her patient, certain non-verbal standards are as necessary as knowledge and skills. According to evidence, one of these standards may be the dentist’s attire. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of dental students’ dressing on patients’ trust and confidence. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed to evaluate the perception of dental school patients. After reviewing pictures of dental students in six different dress styles, the respondents were asked some questions on their preference for dental students’ attire, as well as several questions targeting patients’ trust and confidence. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 16. Results: In the present study, 169 respondents with a mean age of 27.5 years old were enrolled, including 47% men and 53% women. The included respondents significantly favored male dentists with a long white coat and surgical scrubs and preferred a long white coat with a white scarf for women (P<0.001). They believed that dentists with this attire are more knowledgeable, skilled, and professionally competent, and they were more appealing to share their personal issues with this kind of dentist. Conclusions: The respondents preferred dental students in professional attire. Wearing professional dress (a white coat) could have a favorable effect on patients’ trust and confidence.

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a spectrum of conditions characterized by mechanical fragility and blistering of the skin. Individuals suffering from EB display a wide range of symptoms based on affected proteins in different organs and tissues in the body, including the craniofacial complex and the oral cavity. In this case-report, a 22-year-old girl with Dominant Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa is presented. She suffered no other medical complication and psychological examination was normal. Atraumatic extraction of hopeless teeth was performed and patient was referred for endodontic treatment of maintainable teeth. Surgical crown lengthening in anterior segments was performed in two sessions with specific precautions to avoid soft tissue trauma and irritation both during surgery and after it. Post-surgery healing was uneventful and acceptable. In conclusion, with a few precautions, surgical crown lengthening can be performed in these patients with minimal soft tissue trauma and optimal healing post-surgery.

Background: One of the effective factors in successful orthodontic treatment is the use of appropriate bond between the orthodontic bracket and surface of the composite restoration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using composite primers, silane, and surface roughening on the shear bond strength of metal brackets bonded to old composites. Methods: In this laboratory study, 90 composite disks (Z350 3M) measuring 4 by 6 mm were kept in distilled water for 1 week and subjected to 5000°C heating rotation (rpm). These samples were divided into 6 groups based on the use of composite primer, surface roughening, and silane as follows: Group 1 (Control): old composite+37 % acid etching, Group 2: Old composite+37% acid etching+20 s cure. Group 3: Old composite+37% acid etching+5 s air-drying, Group 4: Old composite+acid etching+rubbing, Group 5: Old composite+roughing with diamond bur, Group 6: Old composite+Acid etching+roughing with diamond bur metal brackets were attached to the specimens and the specimens were immersed in water and in a thermal rotation system of 5000 rpm for 1 week. The shear bond strength of the brackets was measured. Results: The highest and the lowest shear bond strength values were found in the fourth and control groups, respectively, indicating a significant difference across all groups (P=0.001). In this regard, the results of least significant difference (LSD) test also showed that the mean shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets in the control group was significantly lower than that observed in other experimental groups, but without significant difference across the pointed groups. Conclusions: The use of surface roughness, composite primer, and silane together do not have a cumulative effect on the increase of the bond strength between old composite and orthodontic brackets. However, the use of each alone can increase the shear bond strength.

Background: Compared to other oral conditions, the effect of periodontal diseases on the quality of life (QoL) has received less attention. Hence, the present study aimed at determining changes in QoL related to oral health in patients with periodontal diseases after non-surgical periodontal therapy. Methods: This clinical trial study was conducted on 60 patients with periodontal diseases (moderate to severe periodontitis) referring to the periodontics department. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) index questionnaire and OHIP-14 were completed for all patients in order to assess the effects of oral status on daily activities before and one month after scaling and root planning. Its association with the age and gender of patients was examined as well. Statistical data were analyzed using the t test, paired t test, and one-way ANOVA. Results: The results revealed that the QoL of patients with periodontal diseases improved after scaling and root planning (P=0.001). Based on the findings, changes in QoL were not associated with the patients’ gender (P=0.001 and P=0.001 for males and females, respectively) or age (P=0.001 and P=0.001 for less than or equal to 30 years and more than 30 years, respectively). Conclusions: This study suggested a positive association between non-surgical treatment (NST) of periodontal disease and oral-health-related QoL.

After two years of the pandemic, there is still concern about COVID-19, mainly among non-vaccinated and specific groups such as patients at risk, particularly, a group of young people who may or may not be vaccinated and who are hookah users. These are exposed to trachea and lung damage considering that they use the equipment in closed places with little air exchange. Studies have shown that regular hookah users share the mouthpiece exchanging saliva and its contaminants; it well describes the presence of several bacteria in shared waterpipes, revealing potential biological hazards that may contribute to respiratory tract colonization, including case reports of patients with tuberculosis due to mouthpiece exchange. Although there is no research on the presence of coronavirus in hookah waterpipes, it was already proved that the virus is present in the self-collected saliva of 91.7% of patients with COVID-19. This coincidence may contribute to a much worse perspective of the COVID-19 pandemic in those locations.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a potentially malignant oral disorder that affects 0.5-2% of the general population with a malignant transformation rate of around 1.1%. Malignant transformation is characterized by the increased proliferation of basal layer cells under the influence of biomarkers released from the inflammatory infiltrate. This study was conducted to assess the expression of biomarkers in OLP and their possible predictive value for malignant transformation of these lesions. Methods: A search for studies on tumor biomarkers in OLP was performed in the following databases: PubMed (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library), Web of Science, and Scopus. Data were analyzed using the statistical software RevMan 5.4 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK). For continuous outcomes, the estimates of effects of an intervention were expressed as mean differences (MD) using the inverse variance (IV) method, and for dichotomous outcomes, the estimates of effects of an intervention were expressed as odds ratios (OR) using Mantel-Haenszel (M-H) method, all with 95% confidence intervals. Results: A total of 30 studies were included in this meta-analysis. OLP patients compared to controls without the disease had a significantly higher expression of mutated p53 protein (P<0.001), Ki-67 antigen (P<0.001), p16 protein (P<0.001), and cell proliferation nuclear antigen (PCNA) (P=0.04), but not blc-2 protein. In contrast, OLP patients showed 3.71 times higher probability of bcl-2 protein detection (P=0.01). Conclusions: The expression of tumor biomarkers in OLP suggests the potentially malignant nature of some of these lesions

Background: Dental injury is an important public health problem that occurs in athletics. This study aimed to determine dental injuries in Iranian athletes. Methods: By searching related keywords in the Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and EMBASE databases, as well as the reference list of the eligible articles, and related published studies in English and Persian by the end of 2020 were included in the study, and the required data were extracted from them. Results: Out of 475 papers initially identified, 10 satisfied the inclusion criteria and were fully evaluated accordingly. Most dental injuries belonged to combat disciplines, and the most common types of injuries were fractures and mobility in the maxillary incisors. Based on these studies, it was found that most reported injuries occurred in men during exercise. Studies have also shown that the lack of using dental protectors is one of the most important causes of injury, and the use of protectors is crucial in preventing dental injuries. Conclusions: It seems that the emphasis on the preventive role of the use of dental protectors in controlling and preventing the occurrence of dental injuries can be decisive in this regard.

Methods: By searching related keywords in the Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and EMBASE databases, as well as the reference list of the eligible articles, and related published studies in English and Persian by the end of 2020 were included in the study, and the required data were extracted from them. Results: Out of 475 papers initially identified, 10 satisfied the inclusion criteria and were fully evaluated accordingly. Most dental injuries belonged to combat disciplines, and the most common types of injuries were fractures and mobility in the maxillary incisors. Based on these studies, it was found that most reported injuries occurred in men during exercise. Studies have also shown that the lack of using dental protectors is one of the most important causes of injury, and the use of protectors is crucial in preventing dental injuries. Conclusions: It seems that the emphasis on the preventive role of the use of dental protectors in controlling and preventing the occurrence of dental injuries can be decisive in this regard.","PeriodicalId":8679,"journal":{"name":"Avicenna Journal of Dental Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81357759","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}
Background: Irregularity of the dorsum is one of the common complications in rhinoplasty. Today, various methods are used to correct the irregularity of dorsum. This study was conducted to determine the effects of using Buccal Fat pad on dorsum changes. Methods: In a randomized clinical trial, 20 patients undergoing primary rhinoplasty with open technique were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. In intervention groups, after the end of the osteotomy and before the skin is sutured, A layer of buccal fat was placed on the dorsum and fixed. In the control group dorsum region without the use of buccal fat was sutured. Both groups followed for six months and were assessed regarding, dorsum changes and satisfaction of dorsum aesthetic. Results: In the intervention and control groups, the mean age of patients was 26.60 ±3.92 and 25.90 ±4.38 years, respectively (P = 0.711). In terms of gender, 70% of patients in the intervention group and 80% in the control group were women. The frequency of nasal asymmetry, nasal depression, dorsum narrowing, step and nasal width in the intervention and control groups were 20% and 50% (P = 0.350). The mean score of patient satisfaction and surgeon satisfaction with the beauty of the bridge of the nose in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion: Using Buccal Fat pad on dorsum during primary rhinoplasty, in addition to reducing changes in dorsum, increases the satisfaction of dorsum beauty.
