Aim: To assess the relationship between the potential factors affecting the perception of aesthetic smile among adult patients, to evaluate the patient's satisfaction toward their smile and to find the most common factors for their dissatisfaction caused by smile. Materials and methods: A 100 males and 100 females were evaluated for the presence or absence of aesthetic smile. The clinical examination was included categories related to personal aesthetic factors of the smile. A questioner designed by Goldstein to measure the patient's self-perception and satisfaction of their smiles was used. The data were pooled for analysis, statistical significance was set to p-value ˃ 0.05. Results: There was a significant differences in the parallel interpupillary line and coincided of dental midlines alone and with facial midlines in the aesthetic and non-aesthetic choices, also between the symmetry of maxillary central and lateralicisors, and canines with their axial inclinations choices (p< 0.05). Some group of questions showed significant differences among female and male subjects while, the male subjects Some questions were near to the statistical significant differences, while others showed no significace between males and females choices. Conclusion: Dental and facial factors showed highly significant relationship with aesthetic smile. So, it should be observed by a dental specialist to provide a proper treatment plan with respect to the potential factors of the aesthetics to help for self-satisfaction measurement.","PeriodicalId":39229,"journal":{"name":"Acta Stomatologica Naissi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71202295","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}

Results: Although there was no statistically significant difference in the evaluation of smile esthetics among groups, laypeople gave the lowest evaluation. Apart from irregular position of certain teeth, all investigated groups emphasized different factors that impair smile esthetics. Orthodontists and laypeople marked bimaxillary prognathic male and female profile as less beautiful than the others.

Pored toga, u određivanju \"najboljeg\" stomatološkog tretmana, izvesnu ulogu imaju i pacijenti. Cilj istraživanja bilo je ispitivanje stavova stomatologa u Srbiji u vezi etičkih dilema u svakodnevnoj praksi, kako bi se utvrdili faktori koji utiču na njihovo rešavanje. Materijali i metode: Rad je realizovan kao studija preseka. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 88 ispitanika, 42 apsolventa stomatologije Medicinskog fakulteta u Nišu i Stomatološkog fakulteta u Beogradu i 46 stomatologa iz privatne i državne prakse. Prvi deo upitnika obuhvatio je socio-demografske karakteristike ispitanika, a drugi deo, sačinjen od 7 pitanja zatvorenog tipa, bio je posvećen određenim etičkim dilemama. Statistička analiza urađena je korišćenjem Excel programa iz Microsoft Office programskog paketa i SPSS programa u verziji 18.0. Rezultati: Odgovori studenata i stomatologa na pitanja o pojedinačnim etičkim aspektima nisu se znatno razlikovali, osim u domenu 2. pitanja pod b – da li je oralni hirurg trebalo da izvadi oba zuba na zahtev pacijenta, koji je srčani bolesnik. Pronađena je statistički značajna razlika (χ= 18,834; p < 0,0001) u odgovorima stomatologa u odnosu na odgovore studenata. Zaključak: Znanje većine ispitanika o etičkim principima bilo je zadovoljavajuće.

The development of inhibitors significantly reduces the efficacy of traditional replacement therapy, seriously increasing morbidity and mortality in these patients. Emicizumab (HEMLIBRA ®) is a chimeric bispecific humanized antibody that bridges activated FIX and FX and thus restores the function of missing activated FVIII. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the literature date of the effect of Emicizumab in the treatment of Hemophilia A. Results: Multicenter randomized studies called HAVEN have shown excellent results of this medication in the treatment of patients with Hemophilia A. FVIII inhibitors do not bind to or neutralize Emicizumab and therefore have no effect on the hemostatic activity of the drug. Emicizumab prophylaxis produced a significant reduction in treated bleedings of 79%, compared to with the group of patients on prophylaxis with bypassing agents, while the rate grew up to even 95% after longer observation. Other studies have also confirmed good treatment results and a favorable safety profile in both adults and children. In the cases of bleeding events or preparation for immediate surgical interventions, it is recommended to user FVII (NovoSeven) ® according to previous guidelines. Conclusion: The results of the prophylactic use of Emicizumabhave so far shown that it may be a revolutionary preparation that can significantly reduce bleeding episodes and improve the quality of life of patients with Hemophilia A.

Aim: To perform the analysis of all data that explain the possibility of a SARS-CoV-2 virus infection in dental practice. Material and Methods: The literature data on the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus, and its characteristics and behavior in the external environment and in living tissues was analyzed. Databases from the Medline, Cochrane Library, Science-Direct, EMBASE, and Google scholar libraries were used, as well as other sources of literature information about this virus. Results: SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus, which has a submicron size and the ability to survive in various environments. The retention of SARS-CoV-2 virus in air / aerosol lasts an average of 3 hours, while the half-life of this virus is 5 to 6 hours on stainless steel and 6 to 8 hours on plastic. Infected patients with SARS-CoV-2 virus develop COVID-19 disease, which manifests itself through presymptomatic, symptomatic and post-symptomatic periods of the disease. Conclusion: The SARS-CoV-2 virus can be found in aerosols generated by dental equipment, which uses compressed air for its work. Protection of dentists and staff from infection with the virus is possible by wearing an N95 respiratory mask with protection levels 2 and 3, which has a filtration efficiency, i.e. retention of submicron particles with an efficiency of ≥ 98%. Waterproof goggles with a protective visor or a special industrially designed facial visor in the form of a full face mask, which has its own motor for the supply of filtered air to the mask, and which prevents the contamination of the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and mouth from liquid or solid aerosol in the air, need to be used. Other disposable protective equipment also must be waterproof.
