It was a randomized, double-blind, and controlled study. Twenty-six (stage III) periodontitis patients, with (three-wall) intrabony defects, were randomly divided (Thirteen in each group) into test (EPO gel + xenograft) and control (xenograft alone) groups. The primary outcome was evaluating the changes in the periodontal parameters; the plaque index (PI), sulcular bleeding index (SBI), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) and wound healing by the Early Healing Index (EHI). The secondary outcome was evaluating the changes in the radiographic parameters including the defect fill (DF) and alveolar crest changes. Results: After the first and second weeks, the test group demonstrated a significant EHI reduction than the control group. At six months, there was a significant gain in CAL and DF in both groups with a significantly lower CAL gain and DF in the test group compared to the control group. There was a significant PD reduction with no significant difference between both groups. Conclusion: EPO gel as an adjunct to xenograft may accelerate soft tissue healing after surgical management of intrabony defects. However, it does not enhance the xenograft regenerative outcomes.","PeriodicalId":505319,"journal":{"name":"Ain Shams Dental Journal","volume":"68 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141276800","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}

Each patient received a dental implant with 10.5 mm length and 3.8 mm diameter at the canine region of the contralateral side of the mandible. The patients were divided into two groups according to the type of attachment used (n=7); BC group included patients who received mandibular over-dentures retained by bar clip attachment supported by an implant on one side and a natural tooth on the other side. BS group involved patients who received a mandibular implant splinted to the natural canine by bar joint attachment utilizing soft liner material. The patients of both groups were rehabilitated with conventional maxillary complete dentures. Clinical and radiographic assessment were performed immediately after over-denture delivery, six and twelve months from denture insertion. Clinical evaluation involved gingival index. Radiographic evaluation included measuring mesial, distal, buccal and lingual bone height differences. Results: BC group recorded significantly higher bone loss compared to BS group around both dental implants and natural teeth. Conclusion: Considering the limitations of this study, it could be concluded that soft liner retained over-dentures are more effective in decreasing bone resorption around the implants and natural teeth compared to clip retained over-dentures.","PeriodicalId":505319,"journal":{"name":"Ain Shams Dental Journal","volume":"5 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141274981","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}

It also evaluated the influence of parental general anxiety on children's anxiety during this visit. Materials and methods: Eighty-eight children, aged 6–12 years, who had never visited a dentist before were conveniently recruited. Recruited children were subjected to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children III (WISC III) and the Children’s Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) to examine their IQ and dental fear and anxiety, respectively. Concerning parental general anxiety, General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) was utilized. Children’s behavior at their first dental visit was assessed utilizing Frankl's behavior rating scale. The Arabic-validated versions of WISC III, CFSS-DS, and GAD-7 were used. The correlations were examined using Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficient (P<0.05). Results: There was a negative correlation between children’s IQ score and their DFA levels. There was a positive association between children’s DFA and their parent’s general anxiety levels. There was a favorable positive correlation between the degree of cooperation and the children’s IQ scores during their first dental visit. Conclusion: This study reveals the common occurrence of fear and anxiety in children during dental visits between the ages of 6 and 12. The findings highlight the complex interplay between cognitive abilities, parental influence, and dental experiences in children. It emphasizes the importance of addressing both child and parental anxiety to promote positive dental visits.","PeriodicalId":505319,"journal":{"name":"Ain Shams Dental Journal","volume":"57 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141275817","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: The study included three main groups: unmodified Biodentine, 5% wt CaF 2 -modified Biodentine , and 10% wt CaF 2 -modified Biodentine . The antibacterial activity of the tested cement was evaluated against the three bacterial strains through direct contact and agar diffusion tests. Fluoride release in deionized water at different intervals (1 day, one week, and one month) was assessed using ICP-MS. Results: The direct contact test revealed that the different experimental biodentine groups had lower optical density than the bacteria groups after one day, which was confirmed at seven days. The 10% group showed a significantly higher antibacterial effect against S. mutans and L. acidophilus than the other biodentine groups. The agar diffusion test showed significant differences between groups regarding Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus . The positive control group had significantly higher inhibition zone values than the 5% CaF 2 -modified and unmodified Biodentine groups. The 10% CaF 2 -modified group showed no statistically significant difference compared to the positive control. For Enterococcus faecalis , the positive control exhibited a significantly higher value than other groups. None of the experimental groups showed inhibition zones against Enterococcus faecalis . Conclusions: Adding 10% CaF 2 to Biodentine could improve its antibacterial effect against S. mutans and L. acidophilus. However, its effectiveness against Enterococcus faecalis is questionable.
