But when clinical results do not mirror this view, explanations remain unclear. The hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that better clinical outcomes are obtained from fluoride plus calcium phosphate varnishes when there is sustained, controlled release of mineralizing ions. Evaluation of the hypothesis: Calculations of ion activity products and putative mineral phases have been underutilized in assessing clinical outcomes of fluoride varnishes with calcium phosphate agents. In this study, a mineral phase comparison between a low-release varnish comprising functionalized tricalcium phosphate (fTCP) against a high-release varnish comprising casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) was made. These calculations revealed the predominance of hydroxyapatite, fluorapatite, and calcium fluoride formation for the varnish containing fTCP, whereas the varnish containing CPP-ACP produced the same minerals along with β-TCP and octacalcium phosphate. This hypothesis shows the mineral phases expected to form from fluoride plus calcium phosphate varnishes might bear on clinical outcomes.","PeriodicalId":43354,"journal":{"name":"Dental Hypotheses","volume":"12 1","pages":"202 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48579698","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: A total of 122 silicone impressions were prepared. Two samples were considered the negative controls, and the rest were contaminated with C. albicans fungal species and disinfected with 0.525% NaOCl, 5.25% NaOCl, 2% H2O2, 16-mg/mL propolis, and 96% ethyl alcohol for 5 and 10 minutes (10 samples for each interval in each group). The data were analyzed with Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests in all the groups at 5- and 10-minute intervals. Results: All the disinfecting agents significantly decreased C. albicans colony counts at both intervals compared to the control groups (P = 0.00). The differences in the disinfecting effects were significant between the four study groups (P = 0.00). The most significant effects were related to NaOCl at both intervals and concentrations and 2% H2O2 at the 10-minute interval (P = 0.001), followed by 2% H2O2 at the 5-minute interval and propolis (P = 0.001). Concerning propolis (P = 0.001) and 2% H2O2 (P = 0.004), the effect of exposure time was significant. Conclusion: All the disinfecting agents in the present study can be used to disinfect impressions contaminated with C. albicans; however, concerning propolis, although it resulted in significant decreases in C. albicans colony counts, the elimination of the remaining colonies was ineffective.","PeriodicalId":43354,"journal":{"name":"Dental Hypotheses","volume":"12 1","pages":"139 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42163601","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 aim of this study was to determine the dental students’ confidence level in performing endodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 dental students of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences participated in this descriptive study by census sampling. A self-administered questionnaire, including demographic data, endodontic experience, confidence in performing different stages of endodontic treatment, and suggestions for improving the quality of endodontic training, was distributed among the fourth to sixth year students. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, USA), using t test, ANOVA, and linear regression analysis (α = 0.05). Results: The response rate was approximately 88%, and the highest and lowest confidence scores (standard deviation) were reported for establishing proper communication with patients with 4.0 (34.67) and finding all root canals with 3.0 (23.88). The confidence score of male students was significantly higher than female students (P < 0.05). There was no significant association between the total score of confidence and difficulty level of the first endodontic treatment and educational level (P > 0.05). The multiple linear regression showed a significant correlation between the difficulty level of the first endodontic treatment and confidence (β = −2.1, P = 0.02, 95% CI: −3.9–−0.2). Conclusion: Given the low confidence level of students in some skills, the following are suggested to be taught practically and theoretically.

This study aimed to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of two herbal toothpastes and a nonherbal type on pathogens responsible for caries and periodontal disease. Materials and Methods: Full and 1:3 concentrations of two herbal toothpastes (Himalaya® and Herbex®) and a nonherbal type as the positive control (Crest® cavity protection) were prepared. Sterile distilled water was considered as the negative control. Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Lactobacillus casei, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A.a) were cultivated on agar plates and incubated after adding toothpaste preparations. The diameter of the inhibition zone was measured in millimeters. Two-way analysis of variance and Tukey Post-hoc tests were applied at P < 0.05. Results: The mean margin diameter was higher in full concentration than the diluted 1:3 formula for all examined toothpastes (P < 0.001). All three toothpaste types exerted a significant antimicrobial effect compared to the negative control (P < 0.05). The antimicrobial effect of Herbex® on S. sobrinus was significantly lower than the positive control, and it was significantly less effective against S. mutans compared to Himalaya (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the efficacy of Himalaya® on L. casei and A.a was significantly lower than the positive control (P < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in other pair comparisons. Conclusion: Considering the observed efficacy of herbal toothpastes against cariogenic bacteria and periopathogens, they potentially qualify as complementary agents for self-care oral hygiene procedures.","PeriodicalId":43354,"journal":{"name":"Dental Hypotheses","volume":"12 1","pages":"118 - 123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48896177","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}

Also, the study aims to evaluate the mode of bond failure after debonding the brackets. Materials and Methods: It was an experimental study. Fifty extracted permanent premolars were collected, checked, and cleaned. Teeth were split equally into two groups, group A and B. Orthodontic brackets were bonded using conventional acid-etching and self-etching primer systems for group A and B, respectively. Shear bond strength (SBS) was measured with a universal testing machine, and the mode of bracket-adhesive failure was determined by using adhesive remnant index (ARI). Data were analyzed with a statistical software. Independent sample t-test was used to compare the SBS and Mann–Whitney U test was used to assess whether there is a significant difference of ARI score between the groups. Results: Although the SBS with self-etching primer was within clinically acceptable range, the overall mean SBS for group A (14.71 MPa) was significantly greater than group B (9.24 MPa) (P = 0.024). There was no significant difference in ARI scores between conventional acid-etching and self-etching groups (P = 0.801). Conclusion: The SBS of the conventional acid-etching was significantly higher than the self-etching primer. The SBS of self-etch was within the acceptable range to withstand the forces of mastication. The majority of the brackets recorded ARI score of 1 indicating a cohesive failure with no significant difference between acid-etch and self-etch groups.","PeriodicalId":43354,"journal":{"name":"Dental Hypotheses","volume":"12 1","pages":"155 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44096715","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: Sixty single-canal and single-rooted extracted human mandibular premolars were selected, all of which were intact and contained no fractures. After disinfection, teeth crowns were sectioned and teeth canals were prepped and obturated by a method similar to the rotary technique. Root fractures were created in half of the teeth by applying controlled buccolingual force. Prefabricated metal posts were subsequently placed in all teeth using AH26 sealer. All teeth, both intact and fractured, were mounted in bovine ribs and X-rayed randomly using a CBCT device (Planmeca Romexis, Helsinki, Finland) with three tube voltages (min = 66 kVp, mid = 80 kVp, and max = 92 kVp). Three experienced maxillofacial radiologists observed and commented on the images. Research data were analyzed using SPSS-25 software. Results: Images taken by kVp min were removed from further statistical analysis due to a lack of diagnostic information. For mid (80) and max kVp (92), the sensitivity values were 86.6% and 60 % (P = 0.04), and the specificity values were 33.3% and 30%, respectively (P = 0.45). Overall, observers’ opinions were more alike concerning images taken with kVp mid than kVp max.

As dentists already treat some nonmicrobial diseases, I will focus on craniofacial malformations, the group of nonmicrobial diseases usually called birth defects. Some examples include dental dysplasias, cleft lip and palate, and malocclusion. In this study, I introduce the word “dysmorphogenesis” (to replace the term birth defect) as it more appropriately ascribes this subset of nonmicrobial diseases results to mistakes during the formation of craniofacial structures. As dysmorphogenic diseases occur during gestation, their diagnosis and especially their treatment require intervention during embryogenesis. Fortunately, decades of research have shown that mutations are involved in malformations during amelogenesis, palatogenesis, and odontogenesis. Knowledge of which genes are involved, together with recent breakthroughs in Crispr gene editing, make interventions during gestation possible. Those dentists performing gene editing procedures I have previously called Biodontists, because creating the Biodontics specialty will take time.

Due to aerosol generating procedures, the risk of cross-transmission in dental clinics has recently risen. Open dental clinics should undergo present-time reassessment concerning infection control, in particular, to consider the implications of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic for today’s advanced technological and medical practices. It might be necessary to make urgent and appropriate modifications to the design of air circulation systems in the dental environment to prevent microbial transmission. The Hypothesis: In order to minimise cross-transmission in multi-chair dental operatories, we have designed two model ventilation systems with 12 and 36 air change/hour capacities and with laminar airflow direction. The conditioned air directly blows into the dental treatment units, especially into the aerosol generating area, where the contamination is more concentrated. We hypothesise that these new designs could serve to isolate dental treatment units to function separately like closed dental operatories while keeping them open to each other. Evaluation of the Hypothesis: Thorough physical and biological investigations will be required to determine how these designs can be applied effectively in terms of the required spatial separation of dental treatment units in the open multi-chair dental operatories.","PeriodicalId":43354,"journal":{"name":"Dental Hypotheses","volume":"12 1","pages":"161 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49012421","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}
