As compared to conventional ameloblastoma it shows a low recurrence rate after conservative treatment. We report a case of extensive unicystic ameloblastoma of mandible in young male patient that showed tumorous characteristics on computed tomography (CT) and was treated conservatively by decompression. CT follow up after 3 months showed significant bone formation. The lesion was then enucleated. Follow up at 8 months showed tremendous bone healing.","PeriodicalId":19556,"journal":{"name":"Oral health and dental management","volume":"1 1","pages":"202-205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89951866","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}

Astringent agents should provide sufficient free gingival margin displacement, and must be free of systemic and local harmful adverse effects. This study aimed to determine the biocompatibility of three different astringent agents on human gingival fibroblast. Materials and Methods: In order to evaluate cytotoxicity of 25% aluminum chloride, 25% aluminum sulphate and 20% ferric sulphate, in 24 well culture plates containing human gingival fibroblasts, RPMI media, antibiotic and 10% fetal bovine serum was added. Cell cultures were incubated in a CO2 incubator. After 1, 5 and 15 minutes, optical absorbance of each plate was determined by MTT assay. Cytotoxicity of each astringent at 1, 5 and 15 minutes were compared by using Student t-test. A p-value<0.05 was considered as significant level. Results: The cytotoxicity of aluminum chloride at all time periods was significantly greater than other two astringents (p<0.05). At 1 minute application, cytotoxicity of ferric sulphate was significantly lower than aluminum sulphate (p=0.01). At 5 minutes, the effect of ferric sulphate and aluminum sulphate was similar and at 15 minutes, aluminum sulphate had significantly lower cytotoxicity compared to ferric sulphate (p=0.043). Conclusions: At all tested time periods, 25% aluminum chloride exhibited greater cytotoxicity than aluminum sulphate and ferric sulphate. Compared to aluminum sulphate, the cytotoxicity of ferric sulphate was lower at 1 minute, similar at 5 minutes, and greater at 15 minutes.","PeriodicalId":19556,"journal":{"name":"Oral health and dental management","volume":"41 1","pages":"179-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77097664","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 sample included all female patients referred to the Comprehensive Dental Course for treatment by 5th year students at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University during the academic year 2014-2015. Patients were clinically examined and different dental treatment needs was assessed and documented. Results: A total of 264 patients were examined and 81 were referred mostly to post graduate and undergraduate courses the reason for referral was significantly because of either simplicity or difficulty of the case. Almost 76% of the patients needed restorative treatment, 74.5% needed periodontal treatment, and 71% needed endodontic treatment. Seventy percent of the patients needed fixed prosthetic treatment while 52% of the patients needed removable partial dentures; in addition more than half of the patients (57%) needed teeth extraction. Caries was found to be the main reason for extraction, restorative and endodontic treatments. In Fixed prosthodontic treatment need, crowns were found to be more needed than fixed partial dentures however among removable dentures, conventional partial dentures was the most needed. Conclusion: The study revealed a considerable amount of treatment need, and as caries was found to be the main reason for extraction, restorative and endodontic treatments; efforts should be directed towards more dental educational programs. This can be done through community services programs conducted by the dental school, the main target of these services should be improving oral hygiene and implementing preventive measures to reduce dental caries and periodontal disease.","PeriodicalId":19556,"journal":{"name":"Oral health and dental management","volume":"12 1","pages":"172-178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83297983","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: A titanium implant abutment was used to receive 30 Nickel-Chromium copings. The copings were constructed using pattern wax (group 1), acrylic pattern resin (group 2), and lightcured pattern resin (group 3). The marginal gap of the Nickel-Chromium copings was measured at 4 points on the abutmentimplant assembly by using a digital microscope. One-way ANOVA and post hoc tests were adopted for statistical analysis (α=0.05). Results: The mean marginal gap values of Nickel-Chromium copings fabricated from pattern wax, acrylic pattern resin, and lightcured pattern resin were 34.00, 31.78 and 25.87 μm, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between groups 1 and 3 (p=0.02), whilst the difference between groups 2 and 3 and between groups 1 and 2 was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusions: The marginal gaps of the copings, fabricated from tested pattern materials, were within the clinically acceptable range.

A total of 4,512 questionnaires were distributed among patients visiting the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital for oral implants between January 2012 and December 2014. Of these, 2,972 questionnaires (66% of total questionnaires) were considered suitable for analysis. The study included 856 male and 2,116 female patients. With regard to reason of opting for dental implant treatment, males selected the “chewing ability” and females selected the “feeling of disgust associated with dentures.” The main concerns associated with the therapy among females were “post-surgical complications” and “pain after surgery.” There were differences pertaining to the purpose of the therapy between males and females.

The theory demonstrates a qualitative and quantitative relationship between observationally and experimentally collected findings. The Cybernetic approach system operates through signals that transmit information. The signal may be of physical, chemical or electromagnetic nature. Any cybernetic system, when provided an input (or stimulus) it processes such an input and produces an output. The output is related to the input by a transfer function. Physiologic system can be of two types: Open loop: The output does not affect the input and closed loop in which a specific relation is maintained between the input and output. Closed loops are characterized by a feedback loop and a comparator. The input is fed into a comparator which analyses the input and judges the degree to which the transfer function needs to be carried out to obtain a certain output. The output is fed back to the comparator (by a feedback loop) and is analyzed as to its adequacy. If it is found to be inadequate, the transfer function is carried out once again. The feedback loop can have a positive or enhancing effect or a negative or attenuating effect. Servo-system is a type of closed loop in which the main input is constantly changing with time, and the output is constantly adjusted in accordance with the input. The various components of a Servo-system include: Command Reference Input Comparator (Peripheral)-Central Comparator-the actuatorthe coupling system and the controlled system.","PeriodicalId":19556,"journal":{"name":"Oral health and dental management","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90252687","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}
