A convenience sample, including 40 children and adolescents with autism, aged 6 to 14, attended in seven institutions for people with special health care in the state of Sergipe, Brazil. It was used the Brazilian version of the Parental-Caregivers Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ) and the Family Impact Scale (FIS), which are applied to evaluate the perception of parents or caregivers on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children and adolescents. The clinical oral examination was performed for the prevalence of dental caries and assessment of oral hygiene. The global score for the P-CPQ in the sample ranged from 0 to 63, with a mean of 13.52 (9.05). 97.5% of mothers reported that oral conditions had an impact on OHRQoL. The increase in years of schooling (p=0.016) of caregivers was associated to greater perception regarding their child’s OHRQoL. Most children and adolescents with autism had no caries experience and presented good to moderate oral hygiene. We did not find differences in OHRQoL scores according to the oral hygiene status and prevalence of dental caries. This study suggested that caregiver literacy has played a role in OHRQoL in children and adolescents with autism. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to assess the influence of other oral health measures on QoL in this population.","PeriodicalId":15598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental health, oral disorders & therapy","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81194249","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}

A total of 140 patients, between 35 and 82 years of age, undergoing dental surgery, receiving a total of 402 dental implants have been investigated. Informed consent was signed by all of them. From this group, 58 patients (31 males and 27 females) received a total of 209 implants and were treated with local growth hormone in the surgical bed during the procedure, and in 29 implants of this group, when surgical beds were more extensive also with daily systemic application for one month. Another 82 patients between 35 and 82 years of age (39 males and 43 female) were also submitted to implant surgery and received a total of 193 implants without growth hormone treatment. For the evaluation of results, a simple apical radiography was used. Osseointegration was determined by bone neoformation and density between and around the implant coils. Study showed that growth hormone treatment was able to induce a statistically significant decrease in the average time between the surgical approach and osseointegration of the implant. The median value for treated patients was 82 days whereas the untreated needed a median of 140 days. No differences were observed either regarding gender or groups of age. It was concluded that in all age and gender groups the reduction of the osseointegration time was very significant when growth hormone treatment was used.","PeriodicalId":15598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental health, oral disorders & therapy","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87855349","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}

Method: a convenience sample of 350 individuals (aged 35 to 74 years) from Sao Paulo underwent a full-mouth periodontal examination (FMPE) which assessed pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding on probing on six sites per tooth. The CPI, CPI modified (CPIm) and three partial-mouth protocols examination (PMPE)-half-mouth 6 sites, full- and half-mouth 3 sites-were derived from the records of the FMPE and have been compared for sensitivity, absolute bias, relative bias and inflation factor in estimates of periodontitis. Results: Significant differences were found in periodontitis prevalence estimates between PMPE, in different case definitions, with relative biases ranging from -10% to -55%. The CPIm had sensitivity of 100% for gingivitis and PD ≥4 mm prevalence, and 80% for moderate and severe periodontitis in relation to FMPE, while for CPI such estimates were 70% and 50%, respectively. The full-mouth 3 sites protocol was similar to the CPIm, regarding the prevalence estimate, but CPIm overestimated severity and extent of periodontitis. The random half-mouth protocols presented low sensitivity to estimate periodontitis prevalence, although they presented small biases for severity and extension (<2.0%). Conclusion : The CPIm and the full-mouth 3 sites protocol presented satisfactory sensitivity to estimate prevalence of periodontitis in populations, being superior to the previous CPI and to the random half-mouth protocols. However, accuracy of estimates may vary with the case definition and population characteristics.","PeriodicalId":15598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental health, oral disorders & therapy","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79297401","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 diagnosis of this pathology is based on the anamnesis and physical examination together with imaging exams of the patients. Cervicofacial pain, palpation of the styloid process in the tonsillar fossa and limitation in neck mobility are the most classic signs and symptoms of this disease [2]. Due to the nonspecific symptoms present in these patients, this disease is usually underdiagnosed and confused with temporomandibular disorders, cervical myalgias, and even being diagnosed as atypical trigeminal neuralgias [3].

However, removing calcium hydroxide accumulated in the apical foramen was difficult, and there is a risk of overflowing outside of the apical foramen during removing procedure. In this study, we investigated (1) the status of overflow from root apex foramen in each removal method using hand file or ultrasonic scaler, (2) possibility of reducing overflow in combination with citric acid solution or EDTA solution. Twenty-four maxillary premolar artificial teeth were performed root canal enlargement using K-fail until No.25 or No.30 size of thickness in each 12 teeth. After finishing root canal enlargement, calcium hydroxide was filled within root canal apex completely. Then calcium hydroxide was removed using ultrasonic scaler or hand file. Furthermore purified water, citric acid solution or EDTA solution was prepared as auxiliary agents respectively. After removing calcium hydroxide from each root canal was finished, the condition of calcium hydroxide overflowing from root apex was observed using stereomicroscope. Calcium hydroxide in the root canal was sufficiently removed from root canals in the groups using ultrasonic scaler. However slighted calcium hydroxide was remained around root apex in the groups using hand file. Overflow of calcium hydroxide to outside around root apex was observed both using ultrasonic scaler and hand file. The tendency of calcium hydroxide overflowing was higher in the case of using ultrasonic scaler than using hand file. In the groups of using hand file, no significant difference was observed for the different size of root canal enlargement, however overflow of calcium hydroxide was clearly higher in 30 size of root canal enlargement using ultrasonic scaler. The use of citric acid solution and EDTA solution as auxiliary agents showed that overflow of calcium hydroxide was decreased compared without using them. In particular, the decrease of overflowing was more clearly using citric acid solution than using EDTA solution. It is recommended that using hand file on removal apex areas of calcium hydroxide to reduce amount of overflowing and improve the removal efficiency. Moreover reducing the risk of calcium hydroxide overflowing are expected using citric acid solution or EDTA solution.","PeriodicalId":15598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental health, oral disorders & therapy","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81602804","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 present study therefore aimed to determine in vitro metal ion dissolution from different alloy combinations. Materials and methods: Dental alloys were subjected to a lactic acid immersion test together with titanium implants and matched with controls. Between day 1 and 38, open direct current potentials (DCP) between the samples and the electrolyte were recorded and metal dissociation inside the electrolyte was assessed using ICP-MS. Results: Absolute DCPs of the different alloys increased significantly (p<0.001) from 100-150mV to 490-580 mV within the first two weeks of immersion, dropping to about 450mV later on largely independent of the material. Titanium showed highest dissociation rates (2.00-12.06µg/cm2 per day; p=0.0002); all other components demonstrated poor corrosive dissolution (<0.6µg/cm2 per day). After immersion of 38 days, titanium still yielded high dissociation (0.64-1.38µg/cm2 per day) for all test groups. Presence of fine gold inside the electrolyte significantly increased dissociation of titanium (p=0.027). Dissociation of iron indicated contamination from tool components used for implant production. Optical examination of non-precious metal surfaces showed no corrosive discoloration after 5 or 26 weeks of lactic acid immersion. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, there is no objection against the use of non-precious alloys for the fabrication of components and prostheses supported on titanium implants if gold is not present inside the same electrolyte.","PeriodicalId":15598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental health, oral disorders & therapy","volume":"140 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72552184","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}
