Biography:

Marwa Abdelaziz: Graduated from the University of Geneva in 2010 and since she has been working simultaneously in a private practice as a general dentist and at the University of Geneva (Division of cariology, endodontlogy and pediatric dentistry) teaching students and conducting research. In 2013 at the age of 29 years ,Marwa Abdelaziz started a PhD Project supervised by the University of Amsterdam (ACTA) and the University of Geneva, the subject of the research is focused on non-invasive diagnostic methods and non-invasive treatment options of initial carious lesions like infiltration and sealing.

Abstract:

In developed countries, clinical manifestation of caries lesions is changing: instead of being confronted with wide open cavities, more and more hidden caries are present. For a long time, the focus of the research community was to find a method for the detection of carious lesions without the need for radiographs. In the last few years different detection and diagnostic tools were introduced and are mostly based on laser transillumination or the reflection of the emitted wavelength, providing sensitive information about early non cavitated lesions. This improved imaging and diagnostic capabilities will provide greater support to promote the principles of minimally invasive dentistry including caries monitoring of non-cavitated carious tooth surfaces, remineralisation therapy, and use of non invasive preventive and restorative materials that will improve our ability to monitor disease activity and the out- comes of preservative therapies.

Abstract:

Dental treatment in young children and anxious patients is difficult because of limited cooperation. Fear of anesthesia, of the drill and of noise related to treatment result in anxiety a negative perception of the dental experience. The erbium yag laser allows cavity preparation without two of these main causes of dental fear. The localized pulsated ablation of hard tissue occurs through micro-explosions due to vaporization of water created by the laser through a sapphire which remains at 2mm of the targeted tissue thus no vibrations are felt. There is no transmission of the heat towards the pulp since the effect is very localized thus no or little pain is experienced. Laser cavity preparation is very useful in pediatric dentistry for treatment of caries in primary teeth as well as for sealants and preventive resin restorations. Children accept and often prefer this new way of treatment for the reasons mentioned. In the permanent dentition, small cavities in the posterior segments and treatment of anterior teeth are also ideal for laser treatment. Other indications include eliminating composite material and making reparations. The selected substance is ablated and then laser etched which allows conditioning for bonding. It is also possible to debond ceramic restorations such veneers because the laser is absorbed in the composite but not in ceramic. Another major advantage of the the erbium yag includes the decontamination of the tissues. The smear layer of dentin is eliminated and the carious tissue is sterilized. Thus primary tooth pulpotomies can be avoided in deep caries. Laser cavity preparation saves time and is interesting from an ergonomic point of view. It is possible to substitute conditioning with phosphoric acid by laser etching which takes very little time in comparison. Only one hand piece is necessary for the entire preparation. Finally, tooth substance removal is very conservative and minimally invasive with the laser, and caries can be evicted selectively.

He currently practices general dentistry and oral surgery in Netanya, Israel. His practice has employed dental lasers since early 2002. He is a member of the academic staff at the Institute of Advanced Dental Education in Haifa, Israel. He is a member of the ALD –Academy of laser dentistry. He is a member of the Israel Society of Dental Implantology. He is the secretary of the Israeli dental laser society. He is lecturing dental lasers in the dental school of Hadassah university from Jerusalem. Five wavelengths are used in his practice: Erbium: YAG (2940nm), CO2 (10600nm), Diode (830nm, 980nm) and LLLT (808nm). He has been publishing and lecturing extensively worldwide in the field of dental laser. He is a reviewer of several dental journals. He was the global opinion leader of Lumenis Company for dental laser division. Today he is a luminary doctor of Syneron Company for the dental laser division.

Abstract:

The array of available clinical applications for laser assisted dentistry is growing rapidly, with the greater number of applications being for oral surgery. Er:YAG is a laser wavelength which is located in the infrared zone of the electromagnetic spectrum (2940nm), is considered to be extremely safe and is the dominant wavelength in dentistry today. Er:YAG is one of the most suitable wavelengths for bone applications. The presentation will demonstrate the use of the Er:YAG laser in the world of implantology and the advantages vs. conventional treatment methods. My purpose in this presentation is to put some order into the chaotic information surrounding the subject and to provide some answers to the most common and frequent questions I often meet: How far we can go with this technology? Is it just a marketing tool or proven therapy? Where is the line between reality and fantasy? Does the new technology completely replace the conventional methods and if not, at which point do we lay the laser's hand piece down and re-employ the "old" tools and conventional ways? This lecture will exhibit, beyond any doubts, that Er:YAG laser is very valuable tools for implantology and will show cases studies with 8-year follow-ups, each procedure explained in details including video exhibitions.

Abstract:

• Introduction: Oral mucositis (OM) is a severe side effect of anti-cancer therapy, especially in children. It causes a painful inflammatory process, which may have a detrimental effect on quality of life and on therapeutic protocols.\r\nObjectives: The aim was to assess the efficacy of a medical device (Mucosyte ®), respect of placebo, in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced OM in childhood. \r\nMethods: Patients between 5 and 18 years of age undergoing chemotherapy for malignancies diseases with OM grade 1 or 2 were enrolled in this study. They were randomized in group A (treated with Mucosyte ®, 3 mouthwashes/day per 8 days) and group B (treated with placebo, that is an inert water based solution, same dosage). \r\nThe OM scoring was performed at day 1 (diagnosis of OM-T0), after three days of treatment (T1), and at day 8 (T2). Pain was evaluated through the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with the same timing of OM measurement. A statistical analysis was performed. \r\nResults: A total of 59 patients were included (28 patients per group). Group A experienced a statistically significative decline of OM just at T2 (p=0.0038) while a statistically significative difference in pain reduction between two groups both at T1 and at T2 (p<0.005) was observed. \r\nConclusions: The present trial demonstrated the efficacy of this medical device (Mucosyte ®) on the treatment of chemotherapy-induced OM in children; in fact, thanks to its barrier effect, it is useful in reducing pain, OM score, burning and erythema. \r\n

Abstract:

IntroductionrnOccasionally paediatric patients present with symptomatic, unerupted non-third molar mandibular teeth which require surgical intervention but are known to be closely related to adjacent sensory nerves. rnrnCoronectomy is a conservative surgical technique in which the crown of a tooth is removed whilst the roots are deliberately left in situ and may represent the treatment of choice in this situation. Coronectomy is widely and successfully used to reduce the risk of postoperative neuropathy in the surgical management of symptomatic mandibular third molars which are intimately related to the inferior alveolar nerve canal. rnrnMaterials and MethodsrnWe present three paediatric patients who had coronectomy as part of a paediatric dental, orthodontic and oral surgery multidisciplinary treatment plan. They were all assessed clinically, radiographically and with the use of cone beam tomography prior to treatment under day case general anaesthetic. rnrnResultsrnNo patient experienced temporary or permanent postoperative sensory neuropathy or required further surgical intervention for root retrieval following coronectomy.rnrnAn excellent result was achieved for the patient who had orthodontic treatment after coronectomy; the deliberately retained roots had little adverse effect on the alignment of adjacent teeth.rnrnDiscussionrnWe have demonstrated that coronectomy can be used successfully in paediatric patients as an alternative to extraction in the management of mandibular teeth in cases where extraction is considered to present a ‘high risk’ of postsurgical neuropathy. Whilst coronectomy may reduce the risk of neuropathy compared to extraction, it is not a risk or complication- free procedure.rn

Abstract:

To analyze the genetic structure of Streptococcus mutans, through the use of sequences of strains from Argentina, Japan, Thailand and Finland; and estimate the demographic history of the bacteria through Bayesian analysis. Forty strains of S. mutans were recovered from stimulated saliva of children of Córdoba-Argentina. This work was approved by the Ethics Committee. Of each strain, DNA was extracted DNA and we sequenced the genes aroE, lepC, gyrA and gltA. Sequences from Cordoba-Argentina were aligned with those of strains from Japan (n = 89), Thailand (n = 52) and Finland (n = 12). The total DNA matrix consisted of sequences of 193 strains. Statistical analyzes were performed to determine whether there was evidence of clonality or of recombination in the genes of S. mutans. The pairwise FST between countries was estimated and we performed the Bayesian Skyline Plot and Extended Bayesian Skyline Plot analyses to estimate changes in the effective population size in the last 15,000 years. We detected high allelic diversity (137 alleles) and very low nucleotide diversity, only 12 were shared by two or more countries. The FST values between countries were significant. Of the statistical analyses performed, eight supported the existence of recombination. We detected inter-gene recombination and absence of this mechanism at the intra-gen level. A marked increase in the effective population size was detected approximately 7500 and 5000 years, according to the Bayesian Skyline Plot and Extended Bayesian Skyline Plot analyses, respectively. S. mutans present a recombinant type population genetic structure. The demographic analyses support the hypothesis that the bacteria experimented a population expansion in the last 10000 years.

Abstract:

The dental education stress effects and sources were explored thoroughly in the literature,rnbut the effectiveness of stress management programs received less attention. This study introducedrna new stress management program, named Dental Education Stress Management (DESM) program.rnIt showed its effectiveness in a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest-follow-up-control group design.rnThe new program was based on the principle of psychoeducation and consisted of three 90-minuternsessions, to teach dental students how to better deal with their stress symptoms and to reduce theirrngeneral stress level. Two instruments were used to assess the level of stress of the dental students,rnnamely the Dental Environment Stress questionnaire (DES), and the Psychological Stress Measurern(PSM-9). Results show that the DESM program has the desired effect of decreasing the stress levelsrnof its participants, and these effects lasted for at least two weeks.. Because of severalrnmethodological limitations of the study more research is needed to draw more generalizablernconclusions.

Abstract:

Because of functional reasons and relationship with burden of disease, the oral health is so important.Childhood and adolescence are the best time to learn and know how to live healthy and also keep it on during the life. It is exactly the school time. Availability and number of schools as a comprehensive educational setting around the world, make them to a suitable place to oral health promotion.rn“Health Promoting Schools” (HPS) program is an useful program to guide supportive practices in promoting the development of healthy behaviors in students.rnThe World Health Organization\'s (WHO\'s) HPS program framework is flawless as a general guide.The DOCUMENT ELEVEN (Oral Health Promotion: An Essential Element of a Health-Promoting School) of WHO, is the suitable guide to integrate of “oral interventions” in HPS program. But as it is mentioned in “Local Action Creating” (publication of WHO) HPS program from country to country, even within different regions and communities of one country, schools have distinct strengths and needs.According to distinct strengths and needs of schools in Alborz, we integrate oral interventions in the HPS program via the most effective manner so the program was customized to Alborz students.rnSo, the purpose of this study was to know:rnIs the integration of oral interventions in the HPS program, theoretically cost-benefit per each student or not? rnMethod:rn We searched the following electronic databases OVID, MEDLINE, EMBASE, IRCTC, CINAHL, Biblio Map, IBSC, Global Health Database, SIGLE, Australian Education Index, British Education Index, Database of Education Research, and also relevant libraries, websites, and other relevant articles to find how can we integrate the “oral interventions” in HPS program and cost-benefit analysis of implementation of program .Obtained information via the mentioned sources, presented to experts and stakeholders. Brainstorming, nominal group technique, the Delphi method and tri-angulation technique were employed to achieve the most correct answers. After integration of oral interventions in the HPS program, we implement the cost-benefit analysis per each student. rn Result:rn Our cost-benefit analysis showed that the implementation of integrated package of oral health interventions in HPS program that was customized and localized for Iran, Alborz, was more beneficial in reducing of 1 unit in DMFT of Alborz students. rnConclusion:rnThe localized and customized package was more beneficial to influencing on oral health status and promotion and it have to be a general program for schools

The aim of this presentation is to show the way of the invention of the modern toothpaste and the life of the genius, who started this part of consumer goods industry. Therefore the authors investigated recordings of the pioneer in this field of products, that were never published before and many contemporary and new historical references. From the making of candles, soaps and perfumes to toothpaste there were 50 years of research, big investments and fights against sly and powerful competitors and authorities, to form a company that was strong enough to establish the beginning of modern oral hygiene within 25 years, using methods of modern medicine, biology, jurisprudence, advertising and industrial procedures. In the upcoming nationalism and the resulting restrictions in trade together with shortage of raw materials, that reached a first high point in world war one and the period, that followed, like many in those years, this company failed at last. The inventor of the toothpaste was forced to sell his knowhow and some of his brand names. But because the name of the first modern style toothpaste became so popular since the last decade of the 1880ies, that in some succession countries of the long vanished multiracial state the name is still used as a synonym for toothpastes in general. Besides do You know, that most dentists and medical doctors of that time did not like toothpastes at all? In our presentation we can show you unique documents and pictures from the days, when dentistry started to change from repair oriented point of view mainly to an attitude focused on prophylaxis.

Abstract:

Aim: Irrigation is a crucial step of successful root canal treatment. It has several important functions, including biofilms disruption. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is the most popular root canal irriganting solution amongst dentists. This study aimed primarily to develop a transparent root canal model to study in situ Enterococcus faecalis biofilm surface removal rate and remaining attached biofilm when using 5.25%, 2.5% NaOCl and water as irrigating solution for 60s. Methodology: A total of thirty root canal models (n = 10 per group) were manufactured using a 3D printing technique. Each models consisted of two longitudinal halves of an 18 mm length simulated root canal with size #30 and taper 0.06. E. faecalis biofilms were grown on the apical 3 mm for 10 days in Brain Heart Infusion broth. Biofilms were stained using crystal violet. The model halves were reassembled, attached to an apparatus and observed under a fluorescence microscope. Nine mL of NaOCl (5.25%, 2.5%) or water (control) were used for 60 seconds and images were captured every second using a camera. The residual biofilm percentages were measured using image analysis software. Results: The difference in residual biofilm between 5.25% and 2.5% NaOCl groups was 3.3% (±0.3) (p = 0.001). The biofilm removal rate for 5.25% group was 0.6% s-1 (±0.02) (p = 0.001). Whilst, it was 0.4% s-1 (±0.02) (p = 0.001) for 2.5% group. Conclusions: The proposed biofilm model provided a viable mean to investigate biofilm removal under microscopy. The concentration of NaOCl had an influence on the removal rate of biofilm.

Abstract:

The orthodontist should evaluate carefully patient’s skeletal age to start an interceptive treatment. Different methods are used: Fishman’s hand wrist radiograph (Fishman 1982), cervical vertebral maturation (CVM method) in a lateral radiograph (Baccetti 2002), middle phalanx maturation of the third finger (MPM method) with an endoral radiograph (Perinetti 2014). Both CVM and MPM methods show six stages (CVS and MPS): two prepubertal stages (CVS 1-2 and MPS 1-2), two pubertal stages (CVS 3-4 and MPS 3-4), and two post-pubertal (CVS 5-6 and MPS 5-6). A diagnostic agreement between the stages of the MPM and the CVM was found so MPM can be used complementary or in alternative to CVM. In literature MPM is evaluated on the right hand as reference. A research made by University of Padua shows a difference of development between the right and the left hand in Caucasian patients. Hand preferred by the patient is also evaluated.

Abstract:

More than 60% of the force used to move teeth through an orthodontic fixed appliance is lost as friction force, with possible loss of anchorage, an enhanced risk of root resorption, an increase in treatment time. The use of molybdenum and tungsten disulfide (MoS2 and WS2) nanoparticles - known for their lubricating properties – can improve from a tribological point of view the substrates to which they are applied, providing a possible solution to minimize friction in an orthodontic system. In this study, nickel (Ni) coatings incorporating MoS2 and WS2 nanoparticles are applied by electrodeposition to 0.019 x 0.025 inch orthodontic stainless steel (SS) wires (Ormco, Glendora, CA, USA). Friction produced by in vitro sliding of coated and un-coated SS wires along self-ligating brackets (Damon Q, Ormco, Glendora, CA, USA; In-Ovation R, GAC International, Islandia, NY, USA) is then evaluated with the use of a universal apparatus for mechanical measurements (Instron 4502). This work shows that good results in terms of friction can be obtained coating SS orthodontic wires with Ni film containing MoS2 and WS2 nanoparticles, providing a possible change in orthodontic materials in the next future.

Abstract:

Introduction: in the last decades the hypothesis that there is a correlation between dental occlusion and posture has been under investigation by a lot of authors, especially because it has been suggested that disorders of the masticatory system can affect body posture as a whole. the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of rapid palatal expansion (rpe) on gait and posture in children with maxillary transverse discrepancy; differences before and after rpe were assessed. Methods: 50 patients were enrolled, age and bmi were respectively: 9.6±2.1 years, 18.1±1.1 kg/m2, divided into 3 groups: 10 control subjects (cs), 20 patients with unilateral posterior crossbite (cbmono), 20 patients with maxillary transverse discrepancy and no crossbite (nocb). The analyses were carried out in three stages. In the first phase after oral examination, every subject underwent gait analysis, romberg test and surface emg. after 2 moth of the end of rpe’ activation it has been executed surface emg. the last phase was 3 month after the removal of the rpe. The test was executed by means of a 6 cameras sterophotogrammetric system (60-120 hz, bts) synchronized with 2 bertec force plates and a novel pedar plantar pressure system. 3dimensional (3d) joint kinematics, center of pressure displacement (cop), plantar pressure distribution during gait and posturographic parameters were estimated. One way anova or kruskalwallis test was performed among the variables in order to compare the 3 group of subjects, paired t-test was performed instead when comparing a and b conditions within the same group of subjects (p<0.05), tamane t2 or bonferroni correction was used where needed. The presence of asymmetries in each population of subjects was also investigated in term of significant differences between left and right side 3d joints kinematics. Results: the posturographic analysis doesn’t revealed significant differences between cbmono, nocb and control groups. The variables of gait analysis are significant before and after treatment. Surface emg shows an increase of muscle’s force after treatment with a delay of the recruitment of masseter and temporal muscles. Conclusion: it seems to be a relation between occlusion and body posture. it is expressed by dynamic posture in cranio-caudal direction.

Abstract:

Nowadays titanium miniplates are used as a reliable source of absolute anchorage for orthodontic and facial orthopedic movement. Miniplates are generally used apical to dental roots in order to not interfere with dental movements. Cortical bone thickness and density are found to be essential to induce a strong primary stability, the most important factor in anchorage success. Since miniplates induce a stronger primary stability than single miniscrew, they are a valid alternative when a heavy load is necessary or when other absolute anchorage devices fail. A recent research made by University of Padua, Department of Orthodontics, investigated onto cortical bone thickness (mm) and density (HU) in relation to age, gender and skeletal Angle class. No differences were found between groups regarding cortical bone thickness (p-value < 0.05). Differences in cortical bone density were found with adult presenting higher values than adolescents in the three classes (p-value < 0.05). Skeletal pattern, on the other hand, has a slight clinical significance on cortical bone density variations.

Abstract:

The appropriated placed dental implants are the most reliable method of tooth replacement. Keys to dental implant success should include proper case selection, excellent surgical technique, placing adequate restoration on the implant, educating the patient to maintain meticulous oral hygiene. Although the overall success rate of dental implant is very high, there are few absolute Constraints and Obstacles. The experienced trained clinician should have little difficulty in assessing patients as suitable.

Abstract:

Neuromuscular dentistry is the understanding of the relationship between the Temperomandibular joints(TMJ), teeth, muscles and nerves. It enables the optimum physiologic position of the jaw to be established to assist in the correction of the underlying causes of craniofacial – Temperomandibular joint, head and neck pain. Neuromuscular dentistry is also used to determine the optimum physiologic jaw position prior to complex dental restorative procedures, cosmetic dentistry, dental sleep medicine procedures, dentofacialorthopaedics and orthodontics. It is a treatment modality of dentistry that focuses on correcting the physiologic “misalignment” of the jaw at the Temperomandibular joint (TMJ). TMJ disorders are not a problem limited to adults. This lecture focuses on how to diagnose and treat TMD in children and young adults. Neuromuscular-functional orthodontics is an easy error free procedure that will take the practitioner to treat TMJ disfunction in children during interceptive therapy.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to present case report of a dentigerous cyst associated to permanent teeth in children treated by conservative techniques.\r\n Dentigerous cyst is the most common developmental cysts of the jaws. Conservative treatment is very effective to this entity and aims at eliminating the cystic tissue and preserving the permanent tooth involved in the pathology. Two techniques are described as conservative treatment for these cysts, marsupialization and the decompression. \r\nAn eight years female child was affected by a large lesion at the right side of the mandible associated to tooth 45. The dentigerous cyst promoted severe tooth displacement. \r\nThe patient was treated with decompression which could manage enough space to do a surgical Orthodontic traction, and therefore place conveniently the permanent tooth

Abstract:

A connection between teeth and body posture has been assumed ever since. While occlusion all in all has not shown a connection to body posture, craniofacial heights do provide this. This suggests a relation to an external goal and raises the question, whether the upper occlusal plane is positioned to space rather than to the body. This would even concern man’s orientation to space. rnrnWhile an EbM/EbD- investigation has been lacking in the theme, video recordings with exact focus were used. The position of the upper occlusal plane is shown with a marking cross fixed to upper teeth. It then has been adjusted to the true horizontal and the movement direction.rnrnProvisional ResultsrnIn walking, running and jumpingrn- the marking cross stays spatially constantrn- wafers of asymmetrical thickness affect an asymmetric body posture and uneven motion. The marking cross stays spatially constant meanwhile.rn- The interpupillary line is spinning around the marking cross.rnrnProvisionally is concluded, that teeth seem to be connected to posture via the position of the occlusal plane to the skull. Maxilla and the upper occlusal plane seem to image the spatial dimensions. Changes in teeth length, even iatrogenic (!), will turn body posture and movements asymmetrically: Shear forces by torsions and a non-axial loading will damage the body’s structures. This seems to be the pathomechanism for pain in TMD.rnrnIntegrating the spatial function of teeth in dentistry may prevent and cure TMD. Therefore, a spatial articulator is recommended. rn

Abstract:

Burkitt’s lymphoma is rare forms of malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma mature B-cells. In Europe and North America, about half of non-Hodgkin lymphomas is seen in children and about 2% of those in adults. Indeed, two incidence peaks exist: The first is in childhood/adolescence/early adulthood and the second after 40 years. Male individuals are preferentially affected. Patients infected with the HIV virus and that the antiviral therapy is not optimal are particularly susceptible to developing Burkitt's lymphoma. Two forms exist: One is called "endemic" (sub tropical Africa) and linked to the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). Diagnosis is based on biopsy of a mass or puncture of an effusion or bone marrow revealing the presence of tumor cells. The staging is performed using imaging (mainly ultrasound and scanner). Differential diagnosis includes other forms of child abdominal tumors (such as Wilms' tumor and neuroblastoma. The management should be done in a specialized center in oncology/hematology. The treatment is based on chemotherapy which is some months but intensive. Our clinical observation reports the case of a girl aged 13 who presented with severe oral manifestations budding Burkitt lymphoma having evolved after 2 years of treatment.

Abstract:

Even though temporomandibular joint and its anatomical relations seem to be of little significance in the view of most pedodontic practitioners, the collection of data needed to establish the proper diagnosis in the field of pediatric dentistry should surely involve the basic knowledge of developmental anatomy of the temporomandibular joint. From the articular fossa, the first anatomical structure to become recognizable during the development process, to the degenerated intra-articular disc which appeared as a result of parafunctional habits of an 18- year-old, the unique morphological features of this unique joint, from the standpoint of anatomical sciences, will be briefly presented with a developmental perspective in this speech. The audience will be provided with some important clinical implications to consider during performing pedodontics and translational research as well.

Abstract:

Oral cavity cancers are in sixth place in men and the eighth in women worldwide. They are often favored by alcohol intoxication and/or smoking but approximately 25% of these cancers are virus-induced tumors. Four viruses are clearly associated with the occurrence of some forms of cancer of the oral cavity.rnThe human papilloma virus (HPV) belongs to the family of the Papillomaviridae. It’s an extremely common virus in the nature with sexual transmission. Some high-risk genotypes are considered as agents who may increase thecancer risk of the upper aerodigestive tract. These cancers are a distinct clinical entity and develop in young patients not necessarily subject to Ethylo tobacco intoxication.They mostly affect the oropharynx, invade the lymph nodes and are poorly differentiated histologically.rnEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) a member of the Herpesviridae family that infects most of the world\'s population. In the oral cavity, EBV,transmitted by saliva is associated with Burkitt\'s lymphoma. It is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma due to the malignant proliferation of cells B. There are three types of Burkitt: endemic, sporadic and linked to HIV infection, which are associated with significant differences in epidemiology, clinical form and biology.rnThe human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also called KaposiSarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV) is considered as the etiologic agent of Kaposi\'s sarcoma. It’s a malignant multifocal mesenchymal tumor of blood and lymph vessels. There are four types of sarcoma: classic, endemic, iatrogenic and epidemic HIV associated, which are involved with significant differences in clinical and epidemiological aspects.rnThe Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family. It is transmitted primarily through blood. At the oral cavity, HCV is associated with oral lichen planus (OLP). It is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, characterized by a keratinization disorder with polymorphic clinical aspects. During its evolution, the OLP has an increased risk of malignant transformation leading to the development of a verrucous or squamous cell carcinoma.rn

Abstract:

Dens invaginatus is a dental anomaly that may show many different complex anatomical forms. The complexity of the internal anatomy of the root canal may create difficulties and challenges for treatment completion of the root canal. A 10-year-old girl was referred by her dentist for suffering from pain and a persistent infection arising from the maxillary left lateral incisor. After clinical examination, the case was classified as Oehler’s type II due to invagination extending through the root canal with no communication with the periodontal tissue. The main canal was contained a central cylindrical mass of hard tissue. Owing to a limitation in access to the canal system and the cleaning and sealing of canal spaces, a modification of the internal anatomy of the canal system was achieved under the operating microscope. The conventional chemical and mechanical preparation with sodium hypochlorite combined with intracanal calcium hydroxide was done. The root canal was obturated with MTA. In this case, the conventional root canal treatment and the modification of the internal anatomy were able to promote the regression of the lesion noted at 2-year follow up.

Abstract:

Introduction: Periodontal disease is more prominent in developing countries. It is common in all ages and affect both genders. Unhealthy periodontium cause serious problems for the individual and lead to tooth loss Objective: Determine prevalence of periodontal disease and its risk factors. Method: Electronic search conducted on PubMed using Inclusion criteria; articles in English about prevalence of periodontal disease and its risk factors from 1990 to 2014. 47 articles were identified initially, and after applying exclusion criteria only nine articles were selected for this review. Results: Prevalence of periodontal disease affect 63% - 68%. In the patients above 40 years old, an average of 76% of extracted teeth was due to periodontal disease. The main risk factor for periodontal disease is poor oral hygiene. The role of smoking in developing of periodontal disease was clear. Diabetic patients have the highest prevalence of periodontal disease compared with other diseases, which is 21%. Conclusion: The prevalence of the periodontal disease is high and more studies needed in different cities and in rural areas. Proper sampling and longitudinal studies should be considered to ensure representativeness and confirm the causality. The direct relation between poor oral hygiene and periodontal disease is clear. This review provides convincing evidence about effect of tobacco smoking on oral health. The review shows high prevalence of periodontal disease among diabetic patients. Better understand the full extent and characteristics of periodontal disease in our population beside public health programs will diminish the effects of the disease.

Abstract:

Introduction: Dental caries is one of the most common diseases and most cause of tooth loss in young people. It is painful and can harm nutrition and overall health. However, having baseline information about oral health status is important for planning and evaluation of the improvement in oral health. Objective: Determine prevalence of dental caries among children and identify the associated risk factors. Method: An electronic search conducted to identify articles in PubMed that met our inclusion criteria. A total of 43 articles were identified initially, and after applying exclusion criteria a total of ten articles were selected for this systematic review. Results: Prevalence of caries in primary dentation of children under 6 years ranged from 73-99% and the mean dmft score ranged from 2.92–6.53. In the permanent dentition, the prevalence varied from 87.9-99% and the mean DMFT ranged from 0.78 to 5.94. Prevalence of caries in primary teeth was higher in the urban population. §Poor oral hygiene, dental health knowledge, frequency consumption of cariogenic food, developmental enamel defect and the use of some medication which affect salivary flow rate were found as possible risk factors. A strong possible link was found between poor oral hygiene and prevalence of dental caries with a prevalence of 57.8%. Conclusion: Dental caries is a serious dental public health problem that warrants the immediate attention. Oral health education programs must be deployed and school based approaches should be combined with family and community preventive programs. However, dental caries is both curable and preventable. Therefore, dental caries should be given the top priority and the full resources. Biography Dr. Yazeed A. Alhabdan earned his BDS degree from King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2010.

Abstract:

First introduced in 2001, Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an autologous fibrin matrix which can be defined as a second-generation platelet concentrate since it does contain leukocytes and does not necessarily require an anticoagulant. Last decades, platelet concentrates have been used in many fields of dentistry. These preparations are aimed to use on operated or wounded sites to achieve a better process of stimulating and accelerate healing mechanism. Although platelet concentrates offer impressive therapeutic perspectives, their clinical relevance implicates a high controversy. Both the translational research and and clinical studies on PRF are a confused and contradictory in a way. The differences mainly depend on preparation techniques and research designs as well. Today several techniques for platelet concentrates are available. The cutting edge technique is Platelet rich fibrin (PRF). PRF is classified as a leukocyte and fibrin concentrate. The main difference between PRF and other platelet concentrates is that the PRF technique does not require any anticoagulant, carrier or activator. PRF can be used successfully solely or in combination with graft materials in the treatment of intrabony periodontal defect, sinüs lifting surgery, socket preservation and peri-implant defects. The goal of this presentation is to describe the current types of state of the art PRF techniques as well as the clinical success rate of these techniques in oral implantology.

Abstract:

Abstract: Different restorative materials are proposed to the clinician. Their reliability depends on the percentage of restorations still functioning after placement. Different study conditions make the comparison of obtained data challenging. Zirconia frameworks are now widely used by dentists. However, some problems and concerns are reported from the dental market. Zirconia restorations emerged as a substitute to metal ceramic restoration, in response to patients’ esthetics growing demand. The metal-porcelain bonding mechanism is well known; whereas, the zirconia-porcelain interface is still not fully understood. Several factors have been pointed to explain the high porcelain chipping incidence. Latest findings will be detailed in an attempt to explain the zirconia-porcelain bonding. Similarities and differences between metal and zirconia have been raised in the literature.

Abstract:

PURPOSE: rnStudy the epidemiological and histopathological profile of the oral cancers in children in care at the Pediatric Hemato-Oncology, Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery departments at the 20 August hospital in Casablanca, and at the hospital of children in Rabat. Our aim is to define the importance of the pediatric oncology, especially the one affecting the oral cavity, and also to describe the oral cancers in children, theirs frequences and theirs histopathological characteristics. We did collect 71 patients consultation records and files between 2004- 2012. rnMATERIALS AND METHODS: rnThis is a retrospective study of 126 children hospitalized between 2010 and 2013 of the Pediatric Hemato-Oncology Department, Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery department at the 20 August hospital in Casablanca, and also in the Pediatric Hemato-Oncology Department at the hospital of children in Rabat, and in which we did diagnose a confirmed cancer of the oral cavity. rnRESULTS:rn In our sample, all age groups were affected by the disease process, but ages between [0-4] years and between [13-16] were the most affected with an average of age of 8 years, and extremes ranging from 4 months to 16 years. In our population sex sample, we noted a slight female predominance with 50.7% of cases . Non-Hodgkin lymphoma Burkitt was the most common histological type with 35.2% of cases. Cheeks represented the most frequent localization with 37.9% of cases, while the maxillary represented 19.7% of cases. Chemotherapy has been the exclusive therapeutic strategy most used in our sample in 67.6% of cases.rn CONCLUSION: rnEpidemiological, clinical and pathological characteristics of cancers of the oral cavity in our population are not different from the literature data. However, the parents lack of awareness and late diagnosis of these lesions appear to be responsible for the dramatic profile of oral cancers.rn
