Case Report: A leukoderma patient at 52 years of age sought the implantology clinic of the Brazilian Dental Association (ABO) to solve his case of tooth loss. The patient presented overly aggressive bone loss in the total maxilla, and, because of this, it was planned to reconstruct the lost area with a synthetic particulate nano-biomaterial (Blue Bone, Curitiba, Brazil), with the help of the platelet aggregate (PRF). For the surgery, 6 grams of this biomaterial were used, in the anterior region of the maxilla, tent screws were placed to stabilize the grafted bilateral and maxillary sinus lifting surgeries were performed in the posterior regions. The entire regenerated area was covered with L-PRF membrane for better stability and healing. An incredibly significant gain in bone volume was observed six months after surgery throughout the regenerated region, enabling the placement of dental implants (Systhex, Curitiba, Brazil) and later the placement of the supported prosthesis. Conclusion: The nano graft presented a very favorable result in the gain of bone volume, proving to be an excellent indication for more severe cases of bone loss.\u0000","PeriodicalId":126789,"journal":{"name":"Edorium Journal of Dentistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127850800","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}

The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), originating in Wuhan, China, has become a major public health challenge for not only China but also for countries around the world. As for April 12, 2020, COVID-19 has been recognized in almost all the countries around the globe, with a total of 1,696,588 laboratory-confirmed cases and 105,952 deaths. Inhalation or contact with infected droplets is the main rout of disease transmission and the incubation period ranges from 2 to 14 days. Fever, cough, sore throat, breathlessness, fatigue, malaise are the symptoms of the disease. In most people the disease is mild or asymptomatic but in some (usually the elderly and those with comorbidities) the disease is fatal because of progress to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and multi-organ dysfunction. Urgently infection control measures are necessary to prevent the virus from further spreading and to help control the epidemic situation. One of the characteristics of dental settings is the risk of cross infection can be high between patients and dental practitioners due to the face-to-face communication and the exposure to handling of sharp instruments, saliva, blood, and other body fluids. Staff of dental clinics and hospital plays great roles in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 disease. We strongly recommended all elective and nonessential dental services are immediately must be suspended only emergency treatment should continue with infection control measures during dental practice to block the person-to-person transmission routes in hospitals and dental clinics.\u0000","PeriodicalId":126789,"journal":{"name":"Edorium Journal of Dentistry","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126671789","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}

This article presents a classic case with characteristic symptoms of gingival necrosis, punched out ulcerated papillae, pseudomembrane formation and pain. Case Report: The patient was treated with the conventional treatment modalities of antimicrobial treatment, swabbing of the pseudomembrane with H2O2 followed by irrigation at home mouth rinses. A soft toothbrush was advised without any adjunctive toothpaste. Additionally, ozone therapy was done on the 3rd day since the lesion persisted. Each arch was ozonated for five minutes using custom made silicon stents with nozzle in the front to allow the ozone generator to pass through. With adjunctive ozone therapy lesions had started to resolve by the 5th day and the patient was also relieved of all associated symptoms. Conclusion: Elimination of the bacteria is a very important part of treatment of NUG. Treponema, bacteroides intermedius and fusobacterium species are the principle bacteria involved in the disease. These bacteria are essentially anaerobic. Ozone therapy creates an aerobic environment for these bacteria inhibiting their growth and disrupting the integrity of the bacterial cell wall by oxidation and inactivating the existing bacteria. Ozone therapy does not damage the other surrounding healthy cells. These healthy cells have a coating of enzymes like catalase, glutathione perioxidase, reductase and superoxide dimutase which prevents the oxygen radical from penetrating them. Hence using ozone as an adjunctive therapy helps accelerate healing and treat the basic etiology in a very targeted manner.\u0000","PeriodicalId":126789,"journal":{"name":"Edorium Journal of Dentistry","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115003526","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}

Case Report: This article describes the treatment of four anterior maxillary permanent incisors of an 11-year-old boy with history of traumatic avulsion and delayed replantation. The avulsed teeth were kept in unclean and dry conditions for 5 h. The root canal treatment was carried out with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). After treatment, the patient was referred to the orthodontic department and two of replanted teeth were extracted orthodontically. The remained replanted teeth were stable and functional position during the four-year follow-up. However, one of teeth showed an excessive root resorption on the last radiographic examination.Conclusion: Although the risk of progressive root resorption and ankloysis is high, delayed replantation of avulsed teeth can be a best choice to avoid early tooth loss. To prevent the complications of delayed replantation, MTA might be used for root canal treatment. Thus, the level of alveolar bone can be preserved till the growth is completed. \u0000","PeriodicalId":126789,"journal":{"name":"Edorium Journal of Dentistry","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125545575","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}
