Although the literature is rich with research work discussing MRONJ, the pathogenesis of this devastating condition has not been adequately understood yet. Roles of infection, immunity and genetic predisposition have been extremely unclear. Moreover, many controversies have been governing risk assessment and management guidelines. In 2003, 36 cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) associated with the use of either pamidronate or zoledronate were reported. Furthermore, in 2014, the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) suggested the term “medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw” (MRONJ) to describe jaw osteonecrosis related to the use of medications. This review sheds the light on recent research work discussing the pathogenesis of MRONJ. Moreover, it suggests possible guidelines for risk assessment and management based on information gathered from different research papers found in the literature.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129001269","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 aim of this study is to estimate sex and stature from odontometric parameters of Kalabari ethnic group of Rivers State in Nigeria. The cross-sectional descriptive study involved 100 volunteers between the ages of 15 to 30 years (50 males and 50 females) whose parents and four grandparents were from Kalabri ethnic group. The parameters measured were the crown height (CH), maximum mesiodistal width (MD), buccolingual dimension (BL) of the right maxillary and mandibular incisors, canines, and premolars. The heights (HT) of the volunteers were also measured. Discriminant function analysis was used to design a predictive model for sex and Multivariate Regression Analysis was used to design a predictive model for stature. The results showed that the mean values of all teeth variables were larger in males than in females except buccolingual dimensions of second maxillary incisor (BL2) and crown height of first maxillary premolar (CH4). Discriminant Function Analysis of all measured parameters showed the score that predicts male is 1.067 while -1.067 for female. Stepwise Discriminant Function Analysis showed maxillary canine to be the best predictor of sex followed by mandibular incisor. Predictive model for sex identification was derived. Multivariate regression analysis was used to derive equation for stature estimation. This study showed that the combination of the teeth could be used for sex and stature estimation.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130870094","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}

Two main types of esthetic brackets have been developed and became widely available; the polycarbonate brackets, and the ceramic brackets. Both types have faced two significant de-bonding problems: (1) enamel and bracket fracture. The two problems have been well documented and continue to be of concern to clinicians. \u0000Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate quantitatively the effect of three volatile oils and their combinations on the de-bonding of ceramic brackets. \u0000Material and Method: Polycarbonate brackets reinforced with ceramic filler were bonded to one hundred and eighty (180) sound extracted human premolars using Transbond XT light curing adhesive. The teeth were then distributed into the following groups according to the type of volatile oil and period of application: clove oil (5 & 30 minutes), peppermint oil (5 & 30 minutes), Black seed volatile oil (5 & 30 minutes), and mixture of peppermint + Black seed volatile oils (5 & 30 minutes) in addition to control group. The brackets were then de-bonded using the Instron Universal Testing Machine and the de-bonding force was recorded for each type of the volatile oils in different times of application. \u0000Result: The result revealed that the Black seed volatile oil gave the lowest de-bonding force in 5 minutes and 30 minutes of application whereas the mixture of the Black seed oil + peppermint oils gave the highest force in both time of application. Further, the peppermint oil application for 5-minute was found to be in the second rank whereas the Clove oil was in the third rank. Furthermore, in the 30 minutes of application the Clove oil was in the second rank whereas the peppermint was found to be in the third rank and the combination of Black seed oil + peppermint oil shows the highest debonding force. \u0000Conclusion: Despite the limitation of the present study result, an assumption has been drawn from the results obtained that (1) the 5- minutes of black seed or peppermint volatile oils application can be considered the best debonding agent compared to the other volatile oils; (2) the clove oil can be used after de-bonding to facilitate the final cleansing-up of enamel surface. To confirm the latter assumption, further investigations are needed.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130795848","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 aim of this survey was to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of radiation hazards and exposure protection techniques of dentists in Pakistan. A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed among all regions of Pakistan through social media and WhatsApp after carrying out the reliability analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0. Question wise analysis using frequencies and percentages was done. Association between the level of awareness with qualification and workplace setting was carried out using chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. The minimum required sample size calculated for this study was 335. A total of 341 dentists [performing endodontic treatment] participated and submitted the form from all regions of Pakistan. 65% of the dentists were aware with the ALARA principle. 40% were aware with the ICRP and NCRP guidelines. Only 27% were using lead apron and 71.8% had never used thyroid collar on the patient. Furthermore, a positive correlation was seen between the designation and awareness level and practice [p=0.01]. Similarly, a significant correlation p=0.01 was seen between awareness level/practice and workplace setting.
