In this study, we explored awareness, acceptability, general and economic perception and potential patient acceptance of SDF for caries management in children and older adults. We also looked at the impact of an educational workshop on SDF for dental professionals in Northern Ontario.Methods: A 42-item structured questionnaire was administered to attendees at a workshop on minimally invasive dentistry held in Thunder Bay, Ontario. It elicited information regarding respondents' demographics, their perception, acceptance and use of SDF and the workshop's influence on uptake of the material.Results: Participants in this cross-sectional study were 53 dental professionals, mainly dental hygienists (45.3%) and dentists (35.8%). Their views on the use of SDF as a minimally invasive technique and on how it was accepted by their patients and patients' caregivers were generally positive. Respondents reported that the workshop made them more likely to choose SDF for treating children (82.4%) and older adults (87.8%). We noted differences between dentists and non-dentists, specifically regarding potential parental acceptance of SDF staining in anterior temporary teeth (p = 0.030), as well as SDF's benefits in older adults in long-term care (p = 0.007), with a higher proportion of non-dentists viewing SDF more favourably.Conclusion: SDF awareness and acceptance were high among dental professionals in Northern Ontario who attended a workshop presenting the beneficial effects of SDF for children and older adults.","PeriodicalId":50005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Canadian Dental Association","volume":"91 ","pages":"p11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to identify some of the risk factors for MPT development in oral cancer patients and to examine its impact on survival rates.Methods: In this retrospective, population-based cohort study, we retrieved administrative data from the Alberta Cancer Registry database for 3549 patients diagnosed with primary oral cancer (POC) between 2005 and 2020.Results: Among these patients, 513 developed MPTs for an overall incidence of 14.5%. The average time interval for development of the first MPT was 4.04 ± 3.67 years. The proportion of patients with any comorbid conditions was significantly higher in MPT patients compared with non-MPT patients. Advanced age, average income, comorbidities including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and increased time from diagnosis to treatment were found to be potential risk factors for MPT development. Analysis revealed a sharp decrease in survival rate of oral cancer patients after developing MPTs. Furthermore, age >45 years, body mass index <18.5, synchronous tumours, stage III and IV POC, >2 comorbid conditions and MPT developing in the digestive system were associated with poor disease-specific survival.Conclusion: The development of MPTs significantly affects the survival of oral cancer patients. Advanced age, comorbidities and delayed initiation of treatment were identified as key risk factors for MPTs. The poor survival outcomes, particularly in patients with synchronous tumours, advanced-stage primary cancers and specific comorbid conditions, highlight the need for early detection and proactive management strategies to mitigate these risks and improve long-term survival in this population.","PeriodicalId":50005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Canadian Dental Association","volume":"91 ","pages":"p7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The classification and management of HPV-positive OPC (HPV+ OPC) has been modified because of differences in the molecular, biological and clinical behaviour of this disease compared with HPV-negative OPC (HPV- OPC) and conventional oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).Description: HPV+ OPC is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and cost burden on individual patients and the health care system. Preventive measures and efficient screening programs aim to reduce this burden, and oral health care providers are expected to play a pivotal role in this context. Just as they are involved in tobacco and alcohol counseling and cessation, they should support such public health initiatives as HPV screening, detection of potentially premalignant and malignant lesions, patient education about the risk of HPV infection and promotion of HPV vaccination.Practical implications: The advent of HPV vaccines has modified the epidemiologic landscape and the management of cervical dysplasia and cancer. Similar changes are expected with HPV+ OPC. In this paper, we review HPV+ OPC and discuss how oral health care providers can be effectively involved in the fight against this disease.","PeriodicalId":50005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Canadian Dental Association","volume":"91 ","pages":"p4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Colour measurements were taken using a cell phone and image-processing software before and after restoration and again after 3 applications of a 35% hydrogen peroxide bleaching agent. Colour changes were calculated using whiteness (WID) and CIELAB colour difference (ΔE00) indexes. Visual assessments of colour match were also conducted by evaluators.Results: Both restorations and enamel exhibited comparable WID values after bleaching, and no significant changes in ΔE00 values were observed. However, evaluators assigned better colour matches to unbleached restorations.Conclusion: Instrumental colour measurements indicated that tooth bleaching did not significantly affect the colour match of single-shade resin composite restorations.

It allows patients to rank difficulty performing 17 jaw-related functions as low, moderate or severe. Our study was designed to determine whether the MFIQ is also helpful in differentiating TMD from other causes of orofacial pain in a clinical setting.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at a private oral medicine/orofacial pain clinic. New patients who attended with orofacial pain complaints were selected (n = 174). All patients had filled out the MFIQ as part of new patient intake forms.Results: The study population consisted of 120 TMD patients, 25 patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS), 19 with oral lesions (OLs) and 10 with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). TMD patients had significantly greater difficulty taking a large bite, yawning, chewing hard and resistant foods including meat, raw carrot, and apples compared with OL and BMS patients. The MFIQ alone was not able to distinguish between TMD and TN.Conclusions: The MFIQ is a short questionnaire that is openly accessible and can be completed relatively quickly by patients in a general dentistry clinic. High ranking of difficulty for items associated with taking a large bite, chewing hard or resistant food and yawning in the presence of complaint of orofacial pain should raise suspicion of TMD and TN as a possible source of the pain.","PeriodicalId":50005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Canadian Dental Association","volume":"90 ","pages":"o10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142839253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
