Inclusion criteria adhered to the recruitment of fourth and final-year students of dentistry. Informed written consent was taken after explaining the study protocol. The format of the questionnaire was based on previously published studies, literature, and guidelines provided by Centers for Disease Control. The questionnaire was validated by a Pilot Study and the opinion of dental health experts on the subject. Methodology constituted of a paper-based and web-based questionnaire with closed-ended questions and feedback were received from (60%) participants. Variables for analysis included demographic profile, next section comprised of questions regarding COVID – 19 disease knowledge, its precautionary measures, and attitude towards the disease. Moreover, participant's awareness in case of suspected infection was also analyzed to gauge the level of preparedness.

Currently, dental charting is proceeded by one of the three commonly used tooth notation systems, The Zsigmondy-Palmer, Federation Dentaire International, and American Dental Association. Although these systems have been used and adopted internationally, in practice, there is much confusion in referring to a tooth, which leads to mismanagement and eventually leads to confusion affecting the clinician-patient relationship. Hence, a growing need for a new system to make dental charting simple, secure, and void of confusion is always felt. In this experiment, we evaluated currently in use tooth notation systems and introduced three tooth numbering systems named based on the place of origin as the Herat Dentistry Faculty 1, Herat Dentistry Faculty 2, and Herat Dentistry Faculty 3 tooth notation systems. A questionnaire containing 17 questions was designed, a meeting was held with the participants where both systems were introduced, and the questionnaire was explained to them. The questionnaire was filled by a population of 481, among which 213 were randomly selected, and data were entered into SPSS. The results proved that the three newly suggested systems are more efficient in terms of learning and entering into patient files compared to traditionally in-use systems.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126966021","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 study aimed to assess the effect of lateral cyclic loading on screw loosening (detorque value) in Morse taper implant-straight abutment connection. \u0000Methods: This in vitro, experimental study evaluated 12 dental implants with Morse taper implant-abutment connection. Dental implant-abutment assemblies were mounted in transparent acrylic resin blocks with 45-degree angle relative to the acrylic surface. The abutment screw was torqued to 30 N/cm by a digital torque-meter and retorqued after 10 minutes. The assemblies were then randomly divided into two groups (n=6). In the test group, lateral cyclic loads with 75 N magnitude and 1 Hz frequency were applied at 45-degree angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the fixture. After 500,000 cycles, the detorque value was measured at the implant-abutment interface by a digital torque-meter. The assemblies in the control group did not undergo cyclic loading. The detorque values were compared between the two groups using the Student t-test (alpha=0.05). \u0000Results: The mean detorque value was 23.17±1.33 N/cm in the control and 21.3±3.38 N/cm in the test group. According to the Student t-test, this difference was not significant (P=0.4). \u0000Conclusion: According to the present results, application of lateral cyclic loads had no significant effect on screw loosening (detorque value) of Morse taper implant-straight abutment connection but insignificantly increased the torque loss.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124899797","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}
