Osseointegration is the factor that control success or failure of dental implant that can be improved by addition of different adjunctive biological materials. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane plays a significant role in tissue regeneration and wound healing. Melatonin (MNL) is biological hormone that secreted from pineal gland and played an important role in human growth. Patients and methods The present controlled clinical trial was carried out to evaluate one-stage dental implant with local application of MNL gel versus PRF membrane as a biomimetic material clinically and radiographically. 30 female patients with missing mandibular premolars- molar were randomized to receive 30 dental implants. Group A (10 patient) control group with dental implant only, group B (10 patient) test group with application of PRF membrane and group C (10 patient) test group with application of MNL gel. Patients were followed up at baseline (before implant placement to record both gingival thickness and bone density and immediately after implant placement to record marginal bone loss), 2 weeks, and 6 months. Results At 6 months follow up, there were significant improvement in gingival thickness and bone density in PRF membrane and MNL gel groups, while the preservation of marginal bone level loss was significant in MNL gel group than other two groups. Conclusions The current results shown that PRF membrane and MNL gel can be used to improve both hard and soft tissue around implant with increased efficiency of MNL regarding marginal bone loss.","PeriodicalId":22324,"journal":{"name":"Tanta Dental Journal","volume":"123 1","pages":"47 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76676340","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 was conducted to evaluate and to compare the effect of spirulina gel versus spirulina nanogel clinically and immunologically in the nonsurgical treatment of stage II, grade B periodontitis. Methods 30 patients with a diagnosis of (stage II, grade B periodontitis) were randomly selected and divided into three groups, 10 patients in each group. Group (A) received scaling and root planing SRP with placebo gel 'methyl cellulose', group (B) received SRP with spirulina gel, and group (C) received SRP with spirulina nanogel. All the patients received one session full mouth SRP and immediate placement of the gel followed by frequent application after 1, 2, and 4 weeks. The following clinical parameters: bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were evaluated at baseline (before treatment), 3 and 6 months. Also, immunological assessment of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was done. Results There was statistically significant clinical improvement in favor to group B and C at all-time intervals follow-up periods when compared with group A where (P < 0.05). The immunological assessment showed statistically significant difference in group B and C when compared with group A at 6 months. Conclusion Adjunctive application of spirulina gel or spirulina nanogel to conventional mechanical therapy improved the clinical and immunological parameters over the traditional treatment alone. However, the strategy of spirulina nanogel may represents a promising natural product as an adjunctive treatment of chronic periodontitis.","PeriodicalId":22324,"journal":{"name":"Tanta Dental Journal","volume":"270 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135494638","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}

Botox, a commercially available botulinum neurotoxin A performs chemical denervation and degranulation of salivary acinar cells. Objective To investigate, histopathologically, whether pretreatment botulinum toxin could potentially protect the gland cells from the deleterious effects of ionizing radiation. Material and methods Twenty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Submandibular salivary glands were intraglandularly injected by either 2.5 U of botulinum in one group or an equal amount of saline in the other group before being exposed locally to 15 Gy of Cs137 γ-irradiation. Thirty days later, glands were harvested for histopathological assessment and calculation of acinar surface area. Results Botulinum-injected glands retained a near normal acinar architecture better than the saline group that showed marked serous atrophy and degeneration. Ductal and mucous cells were more radioresistant. A statistically significant difference existed between both groups in regards to serous acinar surface area P value less than 0.05.

The development of rotary devices like the micromotor and airotors was prompted by the traditional method of treating caries, which only used hand instruments and was painful and ineffective. Aim To evaluate the efficiency of conventional and disposable airotor in treating dental caries in children aged 6–12 years old. Materials and methods The split-mouth randomized controlled trial was designed on 60 teeth from 30 patients aged 6–12 years, involving caries removal techniques using conventional and disposable airotor. Ericson scale, stop-watch, animated emoji scale, and verbal pain scale were used to evaluate efficacy, time taken, patient acceptance, and pain threshold during caries removal. Results Intergroup comparison in terms of time taken for caries removal, patient acceptance and pain threshold showed a statistically significant difference between the conventional and disposable airotor concerning patient acceptance (P = 0.01) and pain threshold (P = 0.04). No statistically significant difference was found between the groups in caries removal efficacy (P = 0.55). Conclusion Caries removal time and clinical efficacy were almost comparable with disposable and conventional airotor. The disposable airotor had more patient acceptance and less pain threshold when compared to the conventional airotor.","PeriodicalId":22324,"journal":{"name":"Tanta Dental Journal","volume":"71 1","pages":"1 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75960224","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 and methods Strain gauge technology was used for strain analysis. A two-layer epoxy resin model with a unilateral distal extension base was used in this study with the second premolar as the last standing abutment. Model A: A lower metallic partial denture was made with an RPI clasp as a direct retainer on the second premolar and a double Aker clasp for cross-arch stabilization on the 1st and 2nd molars of the dentulous side, and the lingual plate served as a major connector. Model B: Lower metallic partial denture was made with the extra-coronal attachment (OT Cap attachment) as a direct retainer on the second premolar splinted with the first premolar by crowns. Stresses were measured vertically and obliquely at the buccal and lingual sides of the lower 2nd premolar, the edentulous ridge in the lower 2nd molar, and the double Aker in the dentulous side of model A. However, stresses were measured vertically and obliquely at the buccal and lingual side of the lower 2nd premolar and the edentulous ridge in the lower 2nd molar of model B. Data were collected, tabulated, and statistically analyzed using the SPSS software program. Results The present study revealed that stresses recorded at the abutment teeth and the ridge in the area of the lower second molar were higher in the case of conventional RPD than in OT attachment and the micro strains recorded around the abutment tooth were much more than micro-strains recorded around the residual ridge. Conclusions Mandibular partial denture using OT attachment can be considered as a prosthetic option for the management of class II Kennedy classification as it can improve the integrity of the alveolar bone of the abutment tooth and the residual ridge. Splinting of abutments reduces the stresses located in the buccal and lingual aspects of the abutment connection between the abutment and the OT attachment allowing better distribution of the stresses between the abutment tooth and the ridge vertically and obliquely.","PeriodicalId":22324,"journal":{"name":"Tanta Dental Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135494864","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}
