Although the risk is low, corrosion products such as nickel and chromium may cause sensitivities or allergic reactions during orthodontic treatment [1-5]. Other consequences may involve discoloration or roughening of surface leading to friction between the bracket and the arch wire [1,2]. Several intrinsic and environmental factors influence the corrosion reactions of orthodontic wires such as, types of alloys, surface roughness, surface coating, electrolyte, pH value, aging, immersion time and temperature [1,3,4,6-12]. Orthodontic appliances rely on the formation of a passive surface oxide film to resist corrosion. The addition of nickel and chromium in stainless steel alloy imparts corrosion resistance. The chromium in the stainless-steel forms a protective, passivating oxide layer (Cr2O3) that provides a barrier to oxygen diffusion and other corrosive environments [2]. The Australian wires are special type of high tensile stainless-steel wire, with rougher surface than other stainless steel [13,14]. The corrosion resistance of nickel-titanium wire is due to the large amount of titanium in its compositions with passivation surface film of several oxides (TiO, TiO2, Ti2O5) [2]. The beta-titanium alloy wire has excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility which is due to the presence of titanium oxide (TiO2) [2,15,16].","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129668834","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 metastasis score (MS) was taken from the CT scan interpretation in the preoperative assessment and was found to be reliable. Objectives: To validate and evaluate the accuracy of the metastasis score (MS); a new method for cervical lymph nodes ASSESSMENT for metastasis in oral and maxillofacial cancer patients, in comparison to histopathology results. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital, the main oral and maxillofacial referral center, during the period 2011-2013. Clinical investigation, CT scan, the metastasis scores (MS); from the CT scan interpretation, was calculated preoperatively on 25 patients who undergone neck dissection for primary head and neck malignancy. Results: Seven cases had a score of (0-3) and 18 cases had a score of (6-10). Twelve (48.0%) cases were positive (+ve) for neck metastasis and 13 (53.0%) cases were negative (-ve) for neck metastasis in the histopathology results. The histopathology results for the cases with metastasis score (MS) (0-3) showed (-ve) results in all the cases with an accuracy of 100% as there was no (+ve) results. For metastasis score (MS) the group (6-10) the histopathology results were (-ve) in 6 cases with an accuracy of 33.3% and it was (+ve) in 12 cases with an accuracy of 66.7%. The Sensitivity (true +ve results) and specificity (true -ve results) of this study are 100% and 53% respectively. Conclusion: The metastasis score (MS) predicts cervical metastasis with an accuracy of 100% for the group (0-3) and with an accuracy of 66.7% for the group (6-10) as there was an incidence of false positive results; nevertheless, this group mostly present with clinically positive neck where prophylactic neck dissection is indicated. the Metastasis","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128406988","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}

According to Ellis [1] the prevalence of Gingival Overgrowth or DIGO is approximately 20% to 83% of the patients taking the medication. Of the medication prescribed 50% of DIGO is attributed to phenytoin, 30% to cyclosporin, and 10% to 20% to calcium channel blockers. Nifedipine appears to be the more prominent calcium channel blocker causing DIGO [2]. Hyperplasia of this nature is usually the result of a combination of the above-mentioned medications and a local irritant such as plaque biofilms. Plaque may be associated with dental calculus or a poorly adapted margin of a dental restoration, which may allow biofilm accumulation and maturation and therefore may impede its disruption and removal. If left untreated, this oral condition can affect the alignment of the teeth and increase the risk of developing gum disease. Gingival hyperplasia can be resolved by improving oral hygiene habits. In more severe cases, surgical treatment is necessary. It has been proposed that medication affects the normal inflammatory response with a resultant increase in gingival fibroblast proliferation and collagen production [3].","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128460312","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}
