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:

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign lesion, CGCG occurs mainly in children and young adults with more than 60% of all cases occurring before the age of 30 years and female to male ratio of 2:1. The mandibular / maxillary ratio is from 2:1 to 3:1. rnSurgery is the traditional treatment of CGCG. Calcitonin and intralesional steroid were used with good results. rnIn this case report, a 14 years old Saudi girl presented with a hard swelling of left side of the mandible with few months duration. Investigations including blood tests, radiographs and biopsy were done which confirmed the diagnosed of CGCG. rnLesion has been treated using six weekly intralesional injections of steroid which gave very good result. rnPatient has been followed up for 10 months with radiographic evidence of defect refill with bone and no sign of recurrence

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:

In Guinea the oral diseases have long been given the importance for health instead tooth brushes plants were used because of their effects, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibiotic. 1) Phyllanthus floribunda -family euphorbiacéa 2) Alchornea cordifolia -Family: euphorbiacea 3) the Gongrenema latifolia -family asclépiadacéa 4) Hyppocratéa indica Family: hyppocratacé. Oral infections were treated with honey, citrus juice and medical leaves Euphorbia hirta children, were added sheets phyllanthus floribunda adults. Today modern toothbrushes and toothpaste are used to reduce the risks and complications dough. These are the traditional practices affecting the health dangerously. Weakening the role of the teeth (mechanical digestion), the risk of tetanus and HIV by cutting the teeth. At 20 years my incisors were cut. To conclude my article, I ask the international committee to intervene so that this traditional practice is prohibited. The epidemic of Ebola fever is endemic by harmful traditional practices that do not improve prevention. I ntil the day hui continue the same practices here are the results of my queries in the last two months between Guinea Conakry and Sierra Leone these young people and older people live within 200 km of my capital Conakry. Hardly, they accepted photos for fear of being prosecuted because the area was hard hit by the Ebola fever.

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.
