It has different clinical presentations, specifically, patients with tongue cancer typically present with a sore or a lump. The treatment depends on the stage, with single modality treatment being the most used for stage I and II tumors, and combined treatment being used most of advanced stages. Methodology: This is a retrospective study done in Khartoum Dental Teaching Hospital on patients diagnosed with tongue squamous cell carcinoma from 2011 to 2019. Results: A total of 69 patients were included in this study, 58% of the patients were females and 42% were males. The majority of the patients were stage IV (66.7%), followed by stage III (18.8%), and only (7.2%) were at stage II. Most of the patients received surgical treatment (52.2%) with (15.9%) having adjuvant therapy and (18.8%) had both, segmental resection was the most common surgical resection in this study followed by soft tissue and marginal resection (43.5%, 15.9%, and 2.9% respectively). The surgical margins were negative in (37.7%), positive in (11.5%) and close in (1.4%). There was a perineural invasion in (21.7%) and was absent in (65.2%), microscopic depth of invasion was >or equal to 4mm in (52.2%), >4mm in (1.4%) and <4mm in (10.1%). The overall survival rate for the patients in this study was (45%). Conclusion: The current study showed that the most common site of this cancer was the lateral part of the tongue. Also, an increase in the incidence of tongue cancer among adults of 40 to 60 years old was found. Most of the patients in this study were at a late stage. Ulcerative swelling was the most common clinical feature. Moreover, surgical treatment was the most common treatment done to the patients and the overall survival rate of the patients was 45%.","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130983912","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}

Materials & Methods: A comprehensive electronic search of databases such as PUBMED, Cochrane, Google Scholar, EmBase and Web of Science was performed up to February 2016. Results: 55 potentially relevant reports were identified with six studies included in the review. Of the six included papers, only one study was randomised, and five studies were either non-randomised controlled clinical trials or, quasi randomised trials. The results from these studies would suggest that there was an indirect association between the presence and perception of oral malodour in both RPD and complete denture wearing patients.

They have become popular as an alternative to metal posts due to their aesthetics and biomimetic behavior, bringing them closer to the properties of the natural dentin [6-8]. By themselves, radicular posts cannot connect to the root canal dentin. This connection is mediated by the cement. The aim is for the cement to provide a tight seal of the endodontic space, to completely prevent micropenetration, to support the formation of a monoblock between the root canal dentin, the cement and the fiber post [3,6,9,10]. One of the main problems with the fiber posts is the loss of retention leading to detachment [3,7,11,12]. There are two factors that need to be worked on. One is related to the surface treatment of the fiber post surface, which is necessary due to the highly crosslinked epoxy matrix of most types of fiber posts [6,3,13].","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"55 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116384801","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 4262 teeth were examined in 178 individuals comprising 96 males and 82 females for the RABL of the AGP and the AP. Subject pooling sample with AgP and a compared group, AP, were originally identified from the Periodontal Clinic population (College of Dental Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University). The following criteria were used to classify subjects with AgP and AP for the past 20 years. The method used to document mesial and distal sites included periapical radiographs, scanner, computerized programs system equipped with the Microstation 95 Image software. All the RABL of teeth were calculated by a computer system equipped with Microstation 95 software under a 10x magnification of radiograph. Quantity assessment of RABL using the DSRIA showed that: (1) the means of RABL of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth in the AgP group were significant greater than those in the AP group when two sample t-test was used; (2) the greatest values of mean RABL of affected sites with AgP group occurred most common in the first molars and mandibular incisors; whereas the AP group occurred most common in the first and second molars; (3) the mean RABL in a descending order for tooth type were molars, incisors, premolars and then canines, respectively; (4) the mean DSRIA was increased with increased age group. We can conclude that the features of naturally progressing alveolar bone loss at the molar and incisor sites in untreated subjects with the AgP and the AP revealed that the mean RABL in the AgP group was faster and greater than those in the AP group.","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127254032","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: 100 intact, extracted, human incisors were randomly divided (n=4x25/group) and underwent black tea staining. The bleaching protocols applied per group were: 1. (BH, at-home) 10%CaP for 5 days (120min/day), repeated twice, 2. (BO1, in-office) 40%HP for 3 successive applications (15 min/application), repeated twice, 3. (BO1, in-office) 40%HP for 3 successive applications (15 min/application), repeated 3 times and 4. (BH+BO1, at-home/in-office) starting with BH, interval of 2 days, followed by BO1. The color was measured before bleaching(t0), right after staining(t1), after each bleaching procedure(t2), 3(t3), 6(t4) and 24 months(t5) after treatment, with a colorimeter (Braive Instruments) in CIEL*a*b*system. ΔΕ*values were calculated relative to t0. Statistical analysis was performed by Mann-Whitney U and Friedman and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests (a=0.01). Results: All bleaching protocols, at t2 induced increase in L*, return of a* to before-staining values, shifting of b* to blue (BO1, BO2) and improvement of tooth color ( ΔΕ*) with no statistically significant difference among protocols. All color coordinates presented gradual rebound at t3. Regarding ΔΕ*, tooth color reached after-staining values for BH, BO1, BO2 up to 24 months, while bleaching effect was partially preserved for BH+BO1 group. Conclusion: At-home and in-office bleaching protocols provided similar whitening effect on tea-stained teeth, immediate after application. However, rebound effect started at 3 and progressed up to 24 months post-treatment. The combination of at-home and in-office treatment showed relative better potential in bleaching color preservation.","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124147805","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}
