The study participants were recruited by an online research company. Oral examinations and questionnaire surveys were conducted on this cohort in January 2023. A total of 144 participants were finally included. Workers exposed to an acidic environment showed more use of protective equipment and underwent more dental examinations at the workplace (p<0.001). Possible dental erosion was observed in only 3 out of the total of 144 participants (2.1%), however. No significant difference was observed in the number of teeth, caries experience, or dental erosion according to the number of years of acid exposure in the workplace. The results of this study suggest that acid exposure exerts a relatively small effect on the oral health status of workers in Japan.","PeriodicalId":45490,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140945316","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 selecting the superstructures and abutments to be used it is important to consider their potential effect on the stability and durability of the planned implant. Excessive force applied to an implant during maintenance commonly results in complications, such as fracture of the superstructure or abutment, and loosening or fracture of the screws. This report describes a case of implant treatment for a 23-year-old man with esthetic disturbance due to trauma to the maxillary anterior teeth. The left maxillary central incisor could not be conserved due to this trauma, which had been caused by a traffic accident. After extraction, the tooth was restored with an anterior bridge. The crown of the left maxillary lateral incisor was fractured at the crown margin and, at the patient's request, implant treatment was selected as the restorative treatment for the missing tooth. A thorough preoperative examination was performed using placement simulation software. One titanium screw-type implant was placed in the maxillary left central incisor under local anesthesia. An all-ceramic crown with a zirconia frame was placed as a screw-fixed direct superstructure. At one year postoperatively, however, the superstructure and abutment became detached due to trauma. The fractured zirconia abutment was removed and replaced with a remanufactured abutment and superstructure. The patient has reported no subsequent dental complaint over the last 11 years. In this case, a surface analysis of the fractured zirconia abutment was performed. The scanned images revealed a difference in the fracture surfaces between the tensile and compressive sides, and electron probe microanalysis demonstrated the presence of titanium on the fracture surface. It was inferred that the hard zirconia abutment had scraped the titanium from the internal surface of the implant.","PeriodicalId":45490,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140945288","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}

When presenting to a dentist, however, appropriate treatment for such patients is often delayed, as dental problems are usually the first to be suspected when the chief complaint is orofacial pain. This report describes a case of a 70-year-old woman who was aware of pain and a burning sensation in the oral cavity upon exertion for a year prior to presenting at our clinic. She had been examined by her family physician, an otolaryngologist, and another dentist, none of whom found any abnormalities other than suspected periodontal disease and caries, for which she was treated. An examination at our clinic revealed no abnormal dental findings that would have been consistent with the mandibular pain, however. Although no chest symptoms were reported, pain was elicited on exertion, suggesting cardiogenic toothache. An immediate referral to a cardiologist was therefore made on the same day. The patient visited the cardiology department of the University Hospital of Tokyo Dental College 6 days later. The increased frequency of symptoms on exertion suggested unstable angina, and the patient was admitted to the emergency department on the same day. Emergency coronary angiography showed that right coronary artery #1 was 99% stenosed proximally (highly calcified plaque). The diagnosis was unstable angina pectoris, with the right coronary artery #1 as the responsible lesion, and percutaneous coronary angioplasty was performed on the same day. Subsequently, all the orofacial pain disappeared, confirming unstable angina as the cause. The pain characteristics in this case were consistent with pain associated with cardiac ischemia, which led to the immediate referral to the cardiology department. In cases of toothache associated with cardia ischemia, it is essential to seek cardiological care as soon as possible.","PeriodicalId":45490,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141983500","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}

Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb cylinders with diameters of 3.0 mm were examined. The surfaces of the cylinders were roughened by sand blasting with alumina particles and acid etching. Static and cyclic tests were performed according to ISO 14801:2016. The yield force in the static test (YS) was measured in 5 specimens of each alloy using a universal testing machine. The yield force in a cyclic test (YC) was measured in 20 specimens of each alloy using the staircase method, which involved applying a cyclic load at a frequency of 10 Hz for 106 cycles. After the cyclic loading tests, cross-sections of the specimens were examined under an optical microscope. The YS values for Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb were 1463 N±93 N and 1405 N±79 N, respectively, and the YC values were 870 N±58 N and 853 N±202 N, respectively. Microscopic observation revealed cracks on the tensile side of some of the specimens, including run outs and failures. The results of this study suggest that the YC values for Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb were 40% less than those for YS. The yield force of Grade-4 Cp-Ti significantly decreased after cyclic loading. The YC values for Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb were approximately 900 N, which was markedly greater than that for commercially pure, Grade-4 titanium (700 N).","PeriodicalId":45490,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139736366","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}

All the maxillary right teeth were moved mesially with an elastic chain attached to a palatal lever arm which was connected to palatal temporary anchorage devices (TADs). After orthodontic treatment had been completed, the maxillary right lateral incisor and peg-shaped left lateral incisor were restored with a porcelain laminate veneer. The maxillary right canine was morphologically reshaped and built up with composite resin. Consequently, esthetically ideal occlusion and functional lateral guidance with uncontacted molars were obtained.

This study investigated the morphogenetic process of development during tooth eruption using dried skulls harvested from Indian donors. The average distance between the ala-major-squamosa suture and the foramen ovale according to age group was as follows: 3.24 mm in the 8-month-old group and 8.92 mm in the adult group. The average distance between the ala-major-squamosa suture and the apex of the articular tubercle according to age groups was as follows: 10.38 mm in the 8-month-old group and 19.34 mm in the adult group.

The patient was a 34-year-old woman presenting with the chief complaint of DH at gingivalrecession sites. The patient had undergone orthodontic treatment when she was 30 years old. An initial examination revealed that none of the sites showed a probing depth of ≥4 mm and 21% of sites bleeding on probing. The clinical diagnosis was plaque-induced gingivitis. Teeth #14, 16, 23, 25, 26, 34, 35, 45, and 46 showed gingival recession ranging from 1 to 4 mm. Gingival recession at #45 extended to the muco-gingival junction. No association with alveolar bone loss was observed in any of the interdental areas. Therefore, the sites presenting with gingival recession were classified as Miller Class I, except #45, which was classified as Class II. The periodontal phenotype was 'thin'. Based on the results of clinical examination and diagnosis, initial periodontal therapy (IP) consisting of oral hygiene instruction, supra-gingival scaling, application of a desensitizing agent, and composite resin restoration was performed. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, which was used to assess degree of DH, showed only a minimal decrease, however, at post-IP. Subsequently, a modified coronally advanced tunnel (a modified technique for achieving a coronally advanced flap) using a connective tissue graft was performed in #14, 16, 23, 25, 26, 45, and 46. After re-evaluation, the patient was placed on maintenance care. The series of interventions resulted in a considerable improvement in the VAS and oral health-related quality of life scores. Furthermore, a change in the periodontal phenotype, from 'thin' to 'thick', was observed, which may contribute to the prevention of further gingival recession and DH. The present case suggests that periodontal plastic surgery is an effective treatment modality for the resolution of DH.","PeriodicalId":45490,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134650209","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}
