For restoration of normal jaw structure and function, proper bony healing is important and thus, stable plate osteosynthesis has become an indispensable component of cranio-maxillofacial surgery.Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 3D versus 2D mini bone plates used for internal fixation of mandibular fractures.Methods and Material: A prospective randomised control trial was conducted on 20 patients with mandibular fractures in the symphysis and parasymphysis regions. In group 1, 3-D miniplates were used with a single, rectangular, 4-holed titanium plate with 4 screws and in group 2, 2-D miniplates were used with two 4-holed titanium plates fixed with 8 screws.Time taken for fixation and operators comfort was analysed using Chi square test whereas trismus and pain were analysed using Anova.Results: The difference for mean time taken for fixation was statistically highly significant (P < 0.01) between 3-D (33.1 minutes) and 2-D plate( 44.7 minutes).Fixation of 2-D plate was found more comfortable.Swelling in both the groups was generally comparable and lasted for about 1 week. Mouth opening in patients of both the groups showed a gradual recovery till 1 month after which it stabilized.Conclusion: 3-D miniplate were more economical, with less intraoperative time required and showed better performance over 2-D miniplates. However there was difficulty in their adaption and were inappropriate when fracture line was very close to mental foramen.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43921663","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 failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a risk assessment and management tool that ensures the safety of patient care by a systematic approach to failures. This study aimed to identify the potential errors and failures in the process of RCT using the FMEA.Materials and Methods: This descriptive study evaluated the failure modes and their effects qualitatively and quantitatively using the FMEA methodology. For this purpose, a FMEA team was first established and the steps of RCT were described in a flowchart. Next, the potential errors and failures in each step were identified, and each failure mode was scored from 1 to 10, based on the severity of impact, likelihood of occurrence, and likelihood of detection. The three scores were multiplied to obtain the risk priority number (RPN). Corrective measures and preventive strategies were suggested for high-risk failure modes (RPN≥250).Results: The FMEA identified 19 steps and 48 potential failures in the process of RCT. The maximum RPN in the process of RCT was assigned to file fracture in the root canal (RPN=324), apical extrusion of irrigating solution (RPN=320), and inappropriate or no rubber dam isolation (RPN=315).Conclusion: The FMEA has high efficacy for detection and prioritization of improvable points in a complex dental procedure in a busy department such as the endodontics department.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48055246","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}

Furthermore, no randomized controlled trial (RCT) has utilized 3D piezo-surgical guides to accelerate severe orthodontic de-crowding.Study design: A Parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients with severe mandibular teeth irregularity. Sample size was 34 patients (19 females and 15 males), then subjects were divided into two parallel groups using Minitab® Version 17 software. First group received conventional orthodontic treatment, whereas the second group received 3D- guided piezo-assisted orthodontic one. Little irregularity index (LII) changes were studied using dental cast in four time points before inserting the first archwire (T0), after 1 month of treatment onset (T1), after 2 months (T2), and at the end of the alignment stage (T3) and the overall alignment time (OAT) required to complete anterior alignment of the mandibular arch was also measured.Results: Ninety-five severe dental crowding patients were evaluated for eligibility, 46 of them fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Thirty-four participants were allocated to the treatment groups randomly. There were no withdrawals during the trial phases. Accordingly, the results of 34 patients were statistically analyzed. OAT was reduced by 48% in the experimental group compared to the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups . Likewise, the time difference between all arch changes was significantly lower when 3D guided piezocision was performed, except for the first arch (T0) and the last arches (T3).Conclusion: Minimally invasive 3D guided Piezocision seems to be a very effective and easy technique in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47988051","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 future, individually tailored, more effective therapeutic treatment options could be provided through the application of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and dentistry (TERMD) approaches. A relevant finding is the potential of both dental mesenchymal and dental epithelial cells to regenerate mineralized dentin and enamel tissues, respectively.Materials and Methods: In the current study, a multi-layered, bioengineered tooth bud model was assembled by combining human dental mesenchymal (hDM) and porcine dental epithelial cells (pDE). The hDM cells were seeded onto poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/ poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PCL/PLGA) wet electro-spun scaffolds overlayed with confluent pDE cell sheet harvested from thermo-reversible tissue culture plates. The so-formed multi-layered bioengineered tooth bud was then used to study the mineralization potential of the dental cells in in vitro culture. It was hypothesized that the addition of the in media soluble factors Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) and the extracellular matrix derivate Emdogain (EMD) would result in enhanced differentiation and mineralized dental tissue formation. Scanning Electron morphological observation was used to characterize scaffolds porosity. Histological and immunofluorescent analyses confirmed the localization of hDM cells inside the scaffold, an intact pDE cell sheet, and the presence of beta-integrin 1-positive cell-cell junctions connecting the two.Results: Scanning Electron Microscopy showed that EMD, in particular, enhanced the mineralization potential of pDE cells. qRT-PCR analyses showed that both EMD and IGF-1 significantly enhanced the expression of Ameloblastin (AMBN), reflecting pDE cell differentiation.Conclusion: In conclusion, these results proved the hypothesis that both EMD and IGF-1 should be considered for their utility in preclinical dental tissue engineering approaches.","PeriodicalId":37056,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry 3000","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42409203","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 investigates the association of sella turcica bridging and morphologic characteristics with the palatally impacted canine tooth.Materials and Methods: Orthodontic records with high-quality lateral cephalometric and panoramic images were chosen. The study comprised 30 patients with palatally impacted canines (17 females and 13 males) and 30 controls with erupted canines (15 males and 15 females). The measurements were performed using the SCANORA 5.2.6 software. Further, the relevant data was collected and analyzed using SPSS software version 22.

This genetic association leads to numerous significant systemic and craniofacial changes, which should be recognized and considered by the dentist.OBJECTIVE: To assess, in databases, the presence of congenital hypertrichosis associated with genetic syndromes and conditions affecting the head and neck.METHODS: The search was conducted in PubMed-NCBI databases; genetic conditions along with their characteristics were available in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) and in Protein®.RESULTS: The analysis was performed on 63 articles and all diseases were considered as rare. In the syndromes, prevalence of autosomal dominant inheritance was observed in 48.64%, followed by autosomal recessive in 45.9%, 1 X-linked recessive case, and 1 arising from defective mitochondrial energy generation. Among the 63 genetic conditions, 44 showed neurodevelopmental changes. Besides the craniofacial involvement itself, there is a high prevalence of alterations of the oral structures involving 47 of all conditions, including mainly dental abnormalities, palatal and gingival changes.CONCLUSION: The association of hypertrichosis with genetic components is strongly associated with major craniofacial changes.
