The raising understanding of the need for this treatment option has led to a shift in the addressability of various social groups, leading to an increase in adult patients' interest [2]. Orthodontic treatment in adult patient is more dificult because the bone remodeling is hard to do and thereis not growing process. Cortiotomy consists of milling the alveolar bone, the vestibular board, in order to create small labor in which the dental displacement following the application of orthodontic force will be faster. The corticotomy is performed in local anesthesia, with bone cutters, under continuous cooling with saline. Orthodontic treatment in adult patient is more difficult because the bone remodeling is hard to do and thereis not growing process [3]. Filho et al. said that the introduction of this technique of corticotomy makes it possible to solve complex cases while providing an alternative to the classical approach, eliminating a number of inventients, such as dental extractions [4]. Despite the many benefits it can bring when it is integrated into orthodontic therapy to correct various dento-maxillary changes, the corticotomy is still regarded with some reluctance by orthodontists. Reitan et al. (2015) consider that the main reason is that the intervention is expensive and some consider it invasive [5]. In a similar study, Bos et al. (2005) points out that even for patients, the high costs of such an intervention can lead to its refusal, with the risk of obtaining results at the end of less satisfactory orthodontic treatment [1]. Dab et al. (2007) states that there is a direct link between the degree of dental displacement induced by the corticotomy and the type of dento-maxillary anomaly that needs to be corrected, but also the time of orthodontic treatment in which the surgery is performed [6]. Further experimental studies are also needed to understand in more detail the biological mechanisms and transformations that occur at the intervention level.","PeriodicalId":33514,"journal":{"name":"Revista Romana de Stomatologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43745070","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 at comparing the methodologies for achieving an occlusal-mesial ceramic inlay using both the conventional and digital methods in terms of workflow protocol, aesthetic and functional results, working time, but also costs and equipment needed. Material and methods. A 22-year-old patient presented with a direct mesio-occlusal composite restoration with a secondary marginal decay in tooth 3.6 that was subsequently restored by a ceramic inlay manufactured using both traditional and digital methods. Outcomes. The dental technician's talent, experience, and vision guided the technical process of creating the conventional inlay. The technical process of producing the digital inlay involved fewer laboratory stages, but also contamination risks than conventional ones, removing potential human errors associated with each stage and allowing possible changes to be made more quickly and efficiently. The conventional method took more time to complete all of the laboratory steps than the digital method. Conclusions. When compared to the digital method, the traditional method allowed the dental technician to achieve a high level of individualization of the prosthetic restoration. Digital techniques are a method of the future that is rapidly growing and improving. Digital techniques for obtaining an inlay involved high-performance equipment, which is pricey to purchase and maintain.","PeriodicalId":33514,"journal":{"name":"Revista Romana de Stomatologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44140044","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 article presents an assessment of the procedures that dental technicians apply, the principles and criteria that are at the base of their choices and decisions when they use metal alloys in fixed prosthetic restorations. Objective. The article aims at the identification of the practices used by dental technicians in Romania when manufacturing non-noble metal alloys prosthetic suprastructures. Material and method. The data collection methodology is an attribute of both quantitative and qualitative research. Results. Over 50% of the dental laboratories are using classical methods of processing metal alloys, 82% of dental technicians use non-noble alloys (Cr-Ni, Cr-Co). 60.7% apply the recycling technique by reusing alloys and 46.4% of them are reusing the materials. Defining factors for choosing recycling process are determined on \"personal appreciation based on experience in the field\" and \"financial-economic\" criteria. Discussions. Scientific studies investigating the negative effects of recycling processes used for fixed prosthetic suprastructures emphasize on microstructural and chemical changes, consequences on the mechanical strength of the materials. They underline the strength in acidic environment, significant long-term toxic contribution in relation to the acidic environment of the oral cavity. Conclusions. The predominant use of classical laboratory methods favours the over-reuse of alloys left overs from previous melts as well as materials. The effects of these techniques are drastic and the cautious use is fundamental.","PeriodicalId":33514,"journal":{"name":"Revista Romana de Stomatologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42594426","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}

Preventing overtreatment in dentistry: causes, types and how to be avoided. Ro J Stomatol. 2022;68(2):63-68) on techniques for identifying and preventing possible dental procedures [1]. I would like to compliment the authors for their thoughtful review and give a few more thoughts. According to the cited study, it is essential to recognize and identify the rationales of potential overtreatments as soon as feasible and to behave professionally to accomplish positive outcomes in preventing them. The results of the study highlight that besides ones relating to economic profit or organizational growth, the majority of the overtreatments were performed inadvertently [1]. The contemporary period encourages and motivates the dental profession to overcome unessential therapeutic interventions. Conquest et al. evaluated the relevant worldwide research on capped-fee and fee-for-service funding strategies employed by government dentistry care. The study indicated that overtreatment was more frequent in the fee-for-service approach, whereas undertreatment was more common in the feecapped model [2]. To accurately identify overtreatment, given the requirement for guidelines, certification, and general agreement strategies, it is recommended to construct a paradigm of essential dental care that encompasses urgent and fundamental dental medical treatment to enhance professional congruence [3]. Strategies are required to broaden the availability of clinically significant treatment, provide cost-effective insurance policy systems, and encourage patient-centered oral health, therefore dentists must actively engage in significant, framework reforms [4]. As future directions, the integration of artificial intelligence in collaborative decision-making may warrant careful consideration [5]. Since the principle of “primum non-nocere” also pertains to dentistry, the highest standard of treatment for the patient’s health is advocated [6].","PeriodicalId":33514,"journal":{"name":"Revista Romana de Stomatologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47548079","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}

In this regard, some procedures have emerged to accelerate the movement of teeth through the alveolar bone, thus shortening the duration of active treatment: corticotomy, application of mini-implants, etc. Of these methods, bone anchorage on mini-implants is increasingly popular among adult patients, as it is a versatile technique that ensures a stable, bony anchorage and more predictable final results. Compared to implantology in prosthodontics, which has a long history, mini- orthodontic implants emerged later in medical practice. In 1998, Shapiro and Kokich described for the first time the possibility of using dental implants for anchorage in orthodontic therapy. Odman J et al. (Upsala University, Sweden) applied implants to patients with partial edentulousness. The results were favorable, leading the authors to recommend the technique for adult partial edentulousness. Kanomi (1997) showed that a 1.2 mm diameter titanium mini- implant provides anchorage for the intrusion of the lower front teeth. After 4 months, the mandibular incisors were intruded by 6 mm without root resorption. Birte Melsen et al. (1998) introduced the use of zygomatic ligatures as anchorage in patients with partial edentulousness. To this they attached nickel-titanium springs for intrusion and retraction of maxillary incisors. Hugo de Clerk (2008) used 4 mini-implants (Bollard type) inserted into the infra-zygomatic crest in patients with Angle class III anomalies. He used 2 mini-implants with hooks in the chin area, and patients wore Class III 150 grams elastics on each side. This direct anchorage also has orthopedic effects, with clinicians achieving upper jaw advancement and correction of mandibular prognathism.","PeriodicalId":33514,"journal":{"name":"Revista Romana de Stomatologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42285320","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}

In the first case presented, the patient goes through bone augmentation procedures, without reaching the time of implant insertion and prosthesis, with the loss of bone addition on one side of the mandible, the case being later completed with corticobasal implants in immediate prosthetic loading. The second case in which the patient successively loses the inserted two stage implants, without reaching their functional load, resorts to the treatment with corticobasal implants in immediate loading and the fixed prosthetic restoration of the mandible in 3 days postimplantation. The last case in which the patient comes for the removal of a maxillary prosthetic work fixed on 4 two stage implants with bone addition and unilateral sinuslift, with mobility, and in which the treatment with corticobasal implants and fixed prosthetic work in 3 days was the optimal way of treatment. These cases as well as the feedback of the treatment after a number of years show us that the treatment with corticobasal implants can be made much easier using only the native bone of the patient using implants that adapt to the morphology of the existing bone and a immediate loading protocol to allow the optimal functioning of prosthetic works; knowledge of surgical and prosthetic protocols of Strategic Implant® technology lead to predictable prosthetic results with minimally invasive surgery, without sinus lift and bone addition, in a short time of 3 days from the surgical step until the final oral rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":33514,"journal":{"name":"Revista Romana de Stomatologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47641381","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}
