Age, gender, the number of teeth in occlusion, occlusal contact area, salivary flow, and neurophysiological deficits influence the masticatory process. The replacement of missing teeth with dental prostheses, whether fixed or removable, is often used to achieve an acceptable level of masticatory performance. Objective: The present study aimed to analyze the association between masticatory performance and age, gender, and oral health status based on the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMF-T) score, denture use, and denture condition in an adult population. Methods: This study included a total of 152 individuals (60 males and 92 females) aged 17 years or older (mean ± standard deviation: 33.4 ± 13.1 years). Masticatory performance was evaluated using color-changeable chewing gum. The chi-squared test was used to assess the association between masticatory performance and age, gender, DMF-T score, dental prosthesis use, and prosthesis condition. Results: Age (p=0.001), missing teeth (p=0.001), and prosthesis use (p=0.011) had significant relationships with masticatory performance. However, the correlations between masticatory performance and gender, tooth decay, fillings, and prosthesis condition were not statistically significant (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Age, missing teeth, and prostheses are strongly associated with masticatory performance.","PeriodicalId":53873,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dentistry Indonesia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41954623","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}

Objective: In order to describe a case of multiple oral ulceration in a post-seizure patient with undiagnosed arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the left parietal lobe and provide short guidelines for dentists in managing patient with a seizure history. Case report: A 23-years old female had multiple oral ulceration in the right and left buccal mucosa and her tongue. She reported having a seizure attack six days before. The patient never had a history of seizures or recurrent oral ulceration. During the seizure, improper placement of the spoon caused further damage to her oral mucosa. The trigger of her seizure is unknown. Based on the neurological consultation, she had an AVM on the left temporal lobe. In order to relieve pain, mouthwash containing aloe vera, sodium hyaluronate, glycyrhettinic acid, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was prescribed.

Previous studies have reported the high prevalence of significant radiographic findings in edentulous patients. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of complete edentulism retrospectively and to evaluate the frequency and location of significant radiographic findings on panoramic radiographs in edentulous jaws of dental patients in northeastern Turkey. Methods: The digital panoramic images of all ≥35 year-old patients admitted to our faculty from January 2014 to August 2015 were evaluated. The prevalence of complete edentulism was determined among 8314 panoramic images retrospectively. Radiographic findings identified as impacted teeth, retained roots, radiopaque, and radiolucent areas detected in panoramic radiographs of completely edentulous patients (CEP) were recorded. The obtained data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and cross-tabs. Chi-square test was employed to evaluate the statistical significance of the results at 0.05 levels. Results: A total of 8314 panoramic images were examined, and 508 (6.11%) CEP were defined. The prevalence of edentulism was higher (24.85%) among the patients older than 64 years old. A total of 206 radiographic findings were detected on panoramic images of CEP. The prevalence values of retained roots, impacted teeth, radiopacities, and radiolucencies were 18.9%, 7.09%, 2.76%, and 1.57%, respectively.

Objective: The aim of the current study was to investigate the validity of an OPG parameter i.e. panoramic gonial angle (PGoA) for the assessment of the vertical facial pattern. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the pretreatment OPG and lateral cephalograms of 200 orthodontic patients aged 15-40 years. The PGoA was measured on both sides and an average was used for statistical analysis. The Pearson’s correlations of PGoA were measured with cephalometric gonial angle (CGoA), SN-GoGn, MMA, FMA, LAFH/TAFH% and PFH/TAFH%. The diagnostic test statistics were applied for PGoA against gold standard “definitive diagnosis (DD)” derived from SN GoGn and FMA. A p-value of <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: The mean CGoA was 121.18o ± 5.16o which was significantly different (p <0.001) from the mean PGoA 117.14o ± 4.43o. PGoA was significantly correlated with SN-GoGn, MMA, FMA and CGoA. A standard of PGoA 116o±3o was used to classify subjects into low angle, normal angle and high angle groups. The validity of PGoA with DD showed a sensitivity of 90.32%, 82.72% and 77.78%; and specificity of 95.37%, 84.48% and 91.96% for low angle, normal angle and high angle cases, respectively.

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of different antibiotic pastes used for regenerative endodontic procedures on dentin microhardness and the push-out bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to root canal dentin. Methods: Sixty-four maxillary central incisors were instrumented and randomly divided into the following four groups (n = 16) for medicament treatment: triple antibiotic paste, amoxicillin+clavulanic acid, cefaclor, and control (no dressing). After 21 days, two root segments were obtained by sectioning the roots horizontally for push-out and microhardness evaluations. MTA was placed into the root canal of the sectioned segment for the push-out test. In the microhardness evaluation, three indentations were made at 500 and 1,000 μm from the canal lumen. The arithmetic mean was then calculated for each distance. ANOVA with post hoc Scheffe test and t test were used for the statistical analyses. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Results: No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of push-out bond strength (p > 0.05). Cefaclor and amoxicillin+clavulanic acid reduced the microhardness values of the dentin at 500 μm (p < 0.05) while cefaclor had the lowest value at 1,000 μm (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Cefaclor reduced the microhardness value more than the other medicaments did at a depth of 1,000 μm.
