Abstract:

 Most of “all-in-one” dental adhesives contain a mixture of hydrophilic and hydrophobic components that are dissolved in an organic solvent. This variability between the adhesives would affect their interaction with tooth structures. Flaw in this interaction, represented by poor dentin hybridization might affect the treatment success. Thus, the objective of the study was to compare between two different all-in-one self-etch adhesives, by examining the nanoleakage expression at dentin-resin interface.

Methodology: Tetric-N- bond self-etch adhesive (TN; Ivoclar/Vivadent) and Tri-S bond plus (TS; Kuraray Noritake) “all-in-one” self-etch adhesives were used for bonding resin composite to human dentin. After sectioning, they were subjected to ammoniacal silver nitrate solution followed by developing solution. Then, images were taken under scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to trace the silver grains at the dentin-resin interface.

Result: In TN group, SEM/EDS showed heavy silver deposition along the hybrid layer as well as throughout the adhesive layer, whilst in TS group the dentin-resin interface did not show silver deposition.

Conclusion: Water-based TN adhesive showed heavy silver deposition along the dentin-resin interface.

Abstract:

Oral health is essential to general health and quality of life. It is a state of being free from mouth and facial pain, oral and throat cancer, oral infection and sores, periodontal disease, tooth decay, tooth loss and other diseases and disorders that limit an individual’s capacity in biting, chewing, smiling, speaking and psychosocial wellbeing. It is a norm for a dentist to perform oral examination on every patient arriving to the clinic. But it is unfortunate that the term “oral examination” usually incorporates dental or periodontal examination only, while, proper oral mucosal and hard tissue examination is a rarity in dental practice. This enhances the risk of failing to identify potentially health compromising or life threatening oral lesions. Only a handful of studies have assessed the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in Saudi Arabia. This study was conducted to assess the type and prevalence of oral soft and hard tissue lesions in dental patients arriving at two dental centers in Riyadh namely, “Riyadh College of Dentistry & Pharmacy” (RCDP) and “Shamesi Hospital” (King Saud Medical City - KSMC). The study included 2366 patients and only 45 had chief complaint at the time of history taking, while the rest were unaware of any dental problems. Results showed numerous patients with oral lesions, some demanding immediate therapeutic intervention such as ameloblastic fibroma, ameloblastoma, dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst and others don’t, but the patient should be notified if there are variations from normal. The findings of this study provide information on the type and prevalence of oral lesions among dental patients in various dental centers in Riyadh. Furthermore, this study shows that numerous dental patients who have oral pathological lesions remain undiagnosed or fail to report any symptoms to the dentist, thus, greater emphasize should be placed on proper oral mucosal and oral hard tissue examination during the routine intraoral examination in dental clinics and dental schools. This study provides baseline data for future studies about the prevalence, etiology and pathogenesis of oral lesions in KSA population.

Abstract:

Dental implant placements are increasing worldwide. The success of dental implant depends on several factors. The dentist should be familiar with all the aspects the lead to a successful implant before placing them. Dental implant success depends on different factors. Patient, surgeon, and the clinical protocol are the main factors in dental implant. Patient psychological status and systemic conditions play an important role in implant placement. Also, planning the procedure by the dentist before the surgery taking into the consideration the surgical and the prosthetic plans are crucial factors in implant success.

Abstract:

One of the most perplexing and tricky aspects of complete denture prosthodontics is the selection of appropriate maxillary anterior denture teeth size chiefly when no pre-extraction records are available. Despite the use of interalar distance, interpupillary distance, and distance between the medialis angles of the eyes is considered a reliable guide for determining the size of the maxillary anterior teeth to some extent, dental literatures indicate that there is no crucial method recommended. This study introduces a new methodology (3asal Methodology) and tool for determining the maxillary anterior teeth mesiodistal width based on certain stable guides that were derived from dentate casts with angle class I arch relationship and normal teeth alignment. These guides include basically the midline and the inter-canine line (a line joining the canine cusp and tips).

Abstract:

Eruption disorders are numerous varying from delayed to complete failure of eruption. Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare condition that involves arrested eruption of teeth with the absence of local or general contributory factors. Another rare and clinically challenging phenomenon is canine transmigration which is the intra-osseous movement of impacted canines across the midline. This report presents the first case of combined failure of eruption of multiple teeth with bilateral mandibular canine transmigration, transposition of upper canine and the first premolar, torus palatinus, and class III incisor relationship in a 33-year-old asymptomatic and nonsyndromic female patient.

Abstract:

The conventional tooth-borne rapid maxillary expander (TBME) has been used for a long time in widening the palate of maxillary transverse in deficiency patients. Although an acceptable expansion can be achieved, TBME has undesirable side effects as a result of using teeth for anchoring the appliance. Tipping of the posterior teeth, buccal root resorption, buccal cortex dehiscence or fenestration, limited skeletal expansion, relapse or instability of the expansion are some of the post-treatment complications that might occur after treatment with TBME. Recently, after the innovation of implants, new anchorage techniques took place. Skeletal anchorage used mini-implants and palatal screws as anchoring tools for maxillary expansion. Forces from an activated screw can be oriented directly to the palatal bone instead of being transmitted through anchoring teeth. This can be clinically achieved through placement of mini screws on the palatal vault providing temporary skeletal anchorage for maxillary expansion. Bone-anchored maxillary expanders have been invented in order to provide extreme pure skeletal expansion without dentoalveolar detriment. In fact, there are studies that addressed the clinical effectiveness and outcomes of bone-borne maxillary expansion, but they were done mostly on adult subjects with surgical assistance. Unfortunately, few clinical published studies have compared the effectiveness of tooth-borne and bone-borne maxillary expansion in mixed dentition subjects (under 12 years old). Other studies addressed bone-borne expanders in subjects much older than 12 years old, teenagers. Therefore, there should be more extensive clinical studies before considering bone-borne expansion a more effective method for maxillary expansion than tooth-borne expansion.
