Methodology: 24 disc-shaped samples for each group were prepared with glass hybrid (Group I) and resin- modified glass ionomer cement (Group II). Each group was divided into four subgroups; 1: Control, 2: Equia Forte Coat, 3: Single bond Universal and 4: Petroleum jelly. Fluoride ions released was measured at different time intervals using fluoride-specific ion-electrode. After 63 days, samples were immersed in sodium-fluoride gel and fluoride recharge capability was evaluated. Results: Application of coats on glass hybrid resulted in significant decrease in fluoride ions release at all tested time intervals, in comparison to control group (p<0.0001). The least ions release was recorded in nano-filled coat and universal adhesive. For RMGIC, delay in burst release was observed after coating, with the least fluoride release recorded in nano-filled coated subgroup. All groups showed the ability to recharge with NaF gel and re-release again. Conclusions: 1. Application of coatings has dramatic reducing effect on fluoride ions release/recharging ability. 2. Nano-filled coating and universal adhesive have a hindering influence on fluoride ions release more than petroleum jelly. 3. The effect of nano-filled coating is more evident on glass hybrid than on resin- modified glass ionomer cement. 4. Application of coatings on glass hybrid and RMGIC delayed the burst release but maintained the fluoride release ability of GICs at constant level.","PeriodicalId":140501,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Dental Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123272060","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}

Methods: The study was conducted on 180 patients attending the Hematology Department in Kasr Al Ainy Hospital and diagnosed as having IDA, the history was taken from patients through an interview with the investigator and followed by clinical examination to determine if they had any generalized symptoms and signs of anemia. The oral complaints and the presence of oral mucosal changes were recorded. The diagnosis of any of the forms of oral mucosal lesions was done mainly on clinical basis, depending on the recognition of the lesion. Results: The results showed that the prevalence of oral manifestations at different Hb levels in the IDA patients included high frequency of oral lesions such as: pallor (97.2%), atrophic glossitis (AG) (34.4%), fissured tongue (24.4%), and low frequency of: recurrent aphthous ulcer (RAU) (6.1%), burning sensation of the oral mucosa (2.2%), angular cheilitis (AC) (1.1%), oral pigmentation (1.1%), geographic tongue (GT) (1.1%), and oral lichen planus (OLP) (0.6%). Conclusion: Patients with IDA had special oral manifestations. In the light of the particular blood and iron profile detected in our patients, neither Hb level nor serum iron or ferritin level were showing any significant association with the presence of oral manifestations.

Results: Root coverage procedure was performed using a de-epithelialized graft harvested by a modified method from the palate. The modification is to de-epithelialize the graft with the desired dimensions on the palate and then harvest it already de-epithelialized. Complete root coverage with stable 2 year follow-up was documented. Conclusions: Recession defects can be treated with a modified de-epithelized graft harvested from the palate without significant inflammation. This technique may serve as an alternative for the conventional SECTG or de-epithelialized grafts.","PeriodicalId":140501,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Dental Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129981932","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}

Tooth size differs among and within populations. Objectives: The aim of the current study was to measure the mesiodistal widths of the mandibular incisors, maxillary and mandibular canines and premolars in a group of Egyptian children in Suez Governorate and to correlate between the widths of these teeth to formulate normative data for the Egyptian children. Materials and Methods: 12-15 year old children (150 boys and 150 girls) from Suez Governorate were included in the present study. The measurements of the mesiodistal widths of the teeth were conducted on dental casts by a digital caliper Results: The means of the mesiodistal widths of the boys’ teeth were significantly larger than those of the girls. Also, there was no statistically significant difference between the right and left sides in girls. However, in males the right mandibular second premolar was significantly bigger than the left side. Conclusion: Sexual dimorphism is present between boys and girls where boys had larger teeth than girls. There were no statistically significant differences between the right and left sides in girls. But in boys only the mandibular second premolar showed slight statistically significant difference. The mandibular permanent incisors can be used in the prediction of the mesiodistal widths of the maxillary and mandibular permanent canines and premolars due to positive correlation between them.","PeriodicalId":140501,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Dental Journal","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123561168","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}

Many adipokines were reported to play a major role in periodontal inflammation. Chemerin is one of these adipokines which is blamed to be involved in inflammatory conditions such as diabetes. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is another adipokine which is believed to induce regulation of glucose. The current study aimed to spot the light on the potential role of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) level of FGF21 and chemerin as biomarkers of periodontal disease activity and an attempt to understand their role in the link between periodontitis and diabetes. Methods: The study was conducted on 45 individuals, 15 diabetic patients with periodontitis, 15 periodontitis patients and 15 healthy controls. GCF samples were collected from all participants for assessment of chemerin and FGF 21. Samples were analysed using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Periodontitis patients with diabetes had significant higher levels of chemerin and FGF21 than the periodontitis patients without diabetes followed by healthy controls. ROC analysis showed a 100% diagnostic accuracy for chemerin and FGF21.
