This possibly could decrease anxiety during the surgery. This randomized clinical trial included young adult patients who required surgical removal of an impacted mandibular third molar and fulfilled the predetermined criteria. Forty-two patients met the inclusion criteria; two patients refused to look at the audio-visual presentation. For both groups, heart rate (HR) was recorded beat-by-beat using an HR sensor (POLAR H1, UK) connected to an ActiGraph wGT3X-BT, USA. The Modified Dental Analogue Scale was used to subjectively record the anxiety during the surgery. Those who watched the audio-visual presentation before surgery had lower HR reading compared with those who received verbal instructions. These differences in mean HR reading were statistically significant for the following surgical stages: drilling, suturing, and leaving the clinic. The audio-visual informed group had lower self-reported anxiety scores than did the verbally informed group. These results suggested that providing an audio-visual presentation about the surgical procedures in our routine clinical practice could aid in alleviating anxiety and thereby reduce surgical complications. *Correspondence to: Randa Alfotawi, Oral and Maxillofacial Department, Dental Faculty, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Tel: +96618056632; E-mail: ralfotawei@ksu.edu.sa","PeriodicalId":217575,"journal":{"name":"Oral Health and Care","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121200177","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}

These primary or aqcuired structural malformations bring major therapeutic challenges, notably while performing adhesive dentistry. Aim: Through the present systematic review, we intent to assess the adhesive interface, between abnormal dental structure and restoration materials, in order to identify the techniques that can improve its quality. Methods: The systematic search was undergone in three electronic databases : PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar, using the following key words: teeth abnormalities, Dental enamel, Enamel defect, fluorosis, amelogenesis imperfecta, Acid etching, Bonding, ultrastructure. A manual search was performed based on the electronic search bilbiography. Published articles, after 2000, were identified by reading titles and abstracts. Their critical analysis was done based on the reading grid (Audet N. Ledère H, Pédagogie médicale) and the literature analysis guide (approved by the Agence Nationale d’accréditation et d’évaluation en santé ANAES/HAS). Results: Among the 400 articles initially found, 110 were selected and 31 english articles were retained, after full reading. Prospective studies and systematic reviews have been conducted on four structural anomalies : amelogenesis imperfecta, fluorosis, Molar Incisor Hypomineralization and dentinogenesis imperfecta. Discussion: According to the found data, and in comparison with healthy dental tissues, lower adhesive bonding of filling materials have been noticed, on teeth with structural abnormalities. To overcome this problem, various techniques have been suggested, such as the deproteinization using the sodium hypochlorite solution, the micro abrasion, the prolonged etching, or the use of adhesion promoters. Conclusion: The quality of adhesive bonding to enamel and dentine is decreased in case of sutructural abnormalities, which is a real clinical challenge in dental practice. Phosphoric acid etching, without prolonged application, is recommended for damaged teeth with amelogenesis imperfecta. In the case of fluorosis, micro abrasion treatment, as well as prolonged etching, have been proven useful to the bonding protocol. More clinical trials with long term follow-up are required, in order to improve the adhesion quality in presence of the several structural abnormalities. *Correspondence to: Meriem AMINE, Associate Professor, Fixed Prosthesis Department, Faculty of Dentistry of Casablanca, University Hassan 2 of Casablanca, Morocco, Tel: 00212 665 012 021; E-mail: meriemamine@hotmail.com","PeriodicalId":217575,"journal":{"name":"Oral Health and Care","volume":"392 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121475700","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}

Several lines of evidence showed that inflammation is involved in cancer development and progression and chronic inflammatory diseases can promote cell transformation and tumorigenesis [1-4]. In response to endogenous and exogenous stimuli, activated inflammatory cells such as macrophages, sentinel dendritic cells, endothelial cells and neutophils are able to synthesize and release a plethora of inflammatory factors including lipid mediators, cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), matrix metalloproteases, and NO [5-7]. It has been demonstrated that NO is one of the most multifunctional gaseous molecule involved in inflammation-driven diseases such as cancer [8,9]. Since its discovery and the historic Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine 1998 awarded to Ferid Murad, Robert Furchgott and Louis J. Ignarro, NO has sparked a lot of scientific research in all the fields of biology and medical sciences with fascinating results and an exponential number of scientific publications. Despite its short half-life, NO participates in various biological and pathological functions. NO is a very fascinating and attractive molecule in that it by itself exhibits opposite effects depending on its variable production and its heterogeneous chemistry. It has been reported that NO has pro and anti-inflammatory activities due to the biphasic regulation of NF-kB [10]. NO is distinctly known as an intracellular signaling molecule with complex and dichotomous effects. The dual role of NO in cancer biology demonstrate its dynamic involvement in tumor development and progression. In cancer, the heterogeneous effects of NO are dependent on many factors such as the activity and localization of NOS isoforms, concentration and duration of NO exposure, and cellular sensitivity to NO [11]. The well-known dual effects of NO are closely linked to its concentration which is under the control of several factors primarily genetic variations affecting its bioavailability. In carcinogenesis, it is known that at low concentrations (less than 100 nM), NO acts as a pro-tumorigenic factor [12]. However, high concentrations of NO (more than 500 nM) were known to be proapoptotic causing cytotoxic and anti-tumorigenic effects [13].","PeriodicalId":217575,"journal":{"name":"Oral Health and Care","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131900793","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}
