{"title":"Periodontitis Risk in Patients With and Without Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Retrospective Study","authors":"Chi-Hang Hsiao","doi":"10.54289/jdoe2100104","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54289/jdoe2100104","url":null,"abstract":"Objectives: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a systemic, long-term autoimmune condition that has chronic inflammatory effects in connective tissue throughout the body. There are numerous studies that have examined the association between systemic lupus erythematosus and chronic periodontitis, with varying conclusions. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate and compare the risk for periodontitis in patients with SLE to patients without SLE. Materials and Methods: Medical and dental records were retrospectively reviewed for patients that had been admitted to the Temple University School of Dentistry from 2010 to 2018. A roster of 22 SLE positive patients were generated from the Temple University patient database and matched to a control population of 22 patients without SLE. Periodontal probing depths were then documented and used to evaluate periodontal statuses in both test and control groups. Sites with probing depths ≥ 5 mm were considered to be at increased risk for periodontal breakdown. Prevalence was defined as the percentage of individuals having at least one site with a ≥ 5 mm probing depth, and extent was defined as the average percentage of sites with increased periodontitis risk. The number of missing teeth in patients from each group were also recorded as a secondary outcome. Results: The prevalence of ≥ 5 mm probing depths in SLE and control groups was 50 % (10/20) and 40.9 % (9/22), respectively. Calculations of relative risk (1.22) and odds ratio (1.44) were not statistically significant between the two populations (p > 0.05). The extent of ≥ 5 mm probing depths was 1.5 % in SLE patients and 3.7 % in healthy patients, which was also not significant between groups (p > 0.05). SLE patients were missing an average of 9.6 teeth per individual compared to 3.8 in healthy patients (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate that patients with SLE do not have an increased risk for periodontitis when compared to patients without SLE. Risk analysis on the prevalence and the extent of deeper probing depths were not statistically different between SLE and control groups. Further studies with a larger sample size and elimination of unseen confounders are needed in order to validate our results. An interesting observation was the finding that SLE patients have a significantly greater number of missing teeth. The exact mechanism through which SLE patients experience periodontal breakdown and increased tooth loss is an avenue that warrants future research.

The poorest prognosis of COVID-19 is among patients with comorbidities. Exploring new ways to predict and diagnose the infection at early stages will probably reduce the fatality and prevent further damages. Identifying unexampled or additional clinical symptoms may provide opportunities for earlier diagnosis and prevention of severe cases of COVID-19. Material and method: A methodical search was conducted through PubMed, Google and Google scholar databases to analyze the published or in press literature. The keywords were words “novel Coronavirus”, “SARS-Cov-2 (CoV)” and “COVID-19”, searched by at least two or more independent individuals. A total of 88 related items were picked based on the keywords. While the majority of materials were based on one-case reports (66 cases), a combination of multiple case studies as well as full research papers was investigated. Results: There were several unexampled manifestations including cutaneous symptoms and oral lesions by which early diagnosis, prevention and even more effective treatment may be achieved for COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: The most striking novel clinical presentation was intraoral painful blisters or mouth ulcers mostly seen on the cheek mucosa as per the revelation of the reported cases in the literature review. Leaving out a daily intraoral examination might have been the reason why intraoral lesions have been connived as effective predictive, prognostic and even preventive manifestations of COVID-19. The outcomes of these current studies suggest that intraoral lesions may offer a very new approach, using preventive, predictive and personalized medicine (PPP) concept to provide a rapid diagnosis and more effective therapeutic modality in patients with COVID-19.

{"title":"Formation of Diagonal Gaps as Stress-Relieving Sites: Rethinking the Concept of\u0000 Increment Splitting in Direct Occlusal Composite Restorations","authors":"Khamis A Hassan","doi":"10.54289/jdoe2100101-1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54289/jdoe2100101-1","url":null,"abstract":"The split-increment horizontal placement technique is currently used, along with\u0000 other restorative techniques, in moderate-to-large occlusal cavities for reducing the\u0000 shrinkage stress generated during light polymerization. Such stress, if released\u0000 uncontrolled, may cause damage within the composite, tooth or at the adhesive interface.\u0000 The term “diagonal cut” was used in our original paper published in 2005 to refer to the\u0000 action of dividing each composite increment into segments prior to light polymerization\u0000 and was presented in two-dimensional illustration. Besides, we made no mention in the\u0000 original paper of the term “diagonal gap” as an outcome of such diagonal cutting. We\u0000 currently recognize the importance of introducing the “diagonal gap” term and the need\u0000 for shedding some light on its role to help provide a more comprehensive view of the\u0000 split-increment technique. The purpose of the current paper is to rethink our increment\u0000 splitting concept used in direct occlusal composite restorations by introducing the term\u0000 “diagonal gap” as a stress-relieving vertical site and demonstrating it in a\u0000 three-dimensional illustration for providing a more comprehensive understanding of the\u0000 split-increment technique. Conclusion: In the current paper, the term “diagonal gap” is\u0000 introduced to refer to the vertical gap created by diagonal cutting of the horizontal\u0000 composite increment, before light curing. This gap enables the segmented composite\u0000 increment to undergo unrestrained shrinkage, where each segment being free from adhesion\u0000 at the gap site can deform independently from the other segments. The relief of the\u0000 polymerization shrinkage stress generated during light curing prevents formation of\u0000 cracks in enamel and/or composite, and debonding of adhesive interfaces.
