Adenosine A2a receptor (A2aR) agonist (CGS21680) has been associated with anti-inflammatory effects in models of sepsis, articular chondrocyte inflammation, and oral mucositis in vitro as well as particle-induced inflammatory bone destruction in vivo.

It is a digital system that employs CAM to translate designs from CAD into tangible goods.

These articles were included and/or excluded based on the following criteria: articles should be peer reviewed, not published before 2018 and not literature reviews or meta-analysis. The database used to conduct this literature review was PubMed through Augusta University's online library database. The keywords used to find relevant articles were CAD/CAM, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-assisted manufacturing, accuracy, intraoral scanner, high resolution, anxiety, stress, fear, nervousness, dental phobia, time distribution, time administration, effective planning, and time management.</p></div><div><h3>RESULTS</h3><p>To demonstrate that CAD/CAM improves clinician accuracy and efficacy, three separate studies were carried out. In the first study, an intraoral scanner is used to examine the accuracy of digital impressions at the edge of crown preparation using different scanning methodologies. A mandibular first molar was created entirely of ceramic on a typodont. Three settings—high solution, ordinary resolution, and combination resolution—were used to get the desired impression. Study two was carried out. Five skilled doctors and five less skilled clinicians were randomly allocated to build interim single crowns using digital sextant imaging.

Patient demographics and the clinicopathologic features were collected and analyzed. Additionally, a comprehensive literature review of benign myoepithelioma of the salivary glands was conducted. The database PubMed was searched from (1/1/2008-to-9/1/2023) using the search terms: “salivary gland”, “myoepithelioma.” Demographic and clinicopathologic data were extracted and analyzed. Descriptive analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics Version 26 (IBM Corporation, NY). Categorical data was analyzed through the Fisher exact test.

Tumor morphology was analyzed—epithelioid pattern, 6 cases (4 benign, 2 malignant); spindle cell pattern, 6 cases (4 benign, 2 malignant); plasmacytoid pattern, 7 cases (6 benign, 1 malignant). The characteristics of connective tissue trauma were also analyzed. The stroma was myxoid in 2 cases (1 benign, 1 malignant), fibrinous in 5 cases (4 benign, 1 malignant), and necrotic in 2 cases (2 malignant).

Artificial caries lesions were created on the dentin surfaces of CAD groups (S.mutans, UA159). After selective caries removal, the respective treatments were applied. A 50μL dose of each biomineralization agent was used on the DAC for 5 minutes, and excess removed. Subsequently, 50μL of a supersaturated calcium and phosphate solution was added for 1 minute. The bonding steps followed manufacturer's guidelines (Adper™ Singlebond2, 3M™ Oral Care), and a resin composite layer was added. Specimens were kept in Simulated Body Fluid solution (SBF) for 24 hours at 37ÅãC, simulating pulpal pressure. Sectioned beams (1mm2) were submitted to μTBS test.

Patient optimization for surgery required a multi-disciplinary approach in conjunction with neurology, anesthesiology, and the ICU/critical care teams.</p></div><div><h3>RESULTS</h3><p>This patient was able to successfully undergo surgery, consisting of bilateral custom TMJ replacement. This case offered a challenge in both peri-operative anti-epileptic management for seizure control as well as airway management with the use of an awake nasal fiberoptic intubation then converted to a tracheostomy.</p></div><div><h3>CONCLUSIONS</h3><p>Bilateral TMJ ankylosis is a rare and often difficult to manage condition. This report provides a unique case of a patient with difficult-to-control seizures and bilateral TMJ ankylosis as well as a discussion of management strategies and recommendations.</p></div><div><h3>IMPLICATIONS</h3><p>There is currently very literature in the OMS field of management recommendations for bilateral TMJ ankylosis and none in patients with a history of epilepsy or seizures. This report will offer the management strategies of these authors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100364,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry Review","volume":"4 3","pages":"Article 100135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772559624000580/pdfft?md5=b8c551a07b6467dea721cebe80e66a06&pid=1-s2.0-S2772559624000580-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142169121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
