The surface roughness of temporary crowns are considered crucial in achieving successful definite restorations. Most bacteria in the oral cavity can only survive on hard and rough surfaces. The objective of the present study is to evaluate and compare the surface roughness of two types of commercially available composite material (Harvard- temp and Charm- temp). The specimens were tested in dry conditions and after two weeks of storage in artificial saliva at 25⁰C. Material and Methods: A total of 32 specimens of dimensions 64mm×10mm×2.5mm were divided in two groups according to the type of material (Harvard-temp or Charm-temp). Each group of material has 16 specimens. These 16 specimens were divided in two groups: a control group (eight specimens) in dry conditions and an aging group (eight specimens) and stored in artificial saliva for two weeks. The TR 200 device was used to measure the surface roughness of specimens in micrometers (µm) before and after aging in artificial saliva. Results: After comparing the results, a significant difference was found in the surface roughness in dry and aging conditions of Harvard – temp (P 0.05). Conclusion: that in-vitro aging research might be an informative predictor of provisional materials’ properties before clinical application. Clinical significance: Both materials can perform adequately in the oral cavity for two weeks. However, the Charm temp mayperform more adequately and maintain good surface roughness.","PeriodicalId":78326,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Dental Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74770867","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}

This study aimed to examine the mode of delivering postoperative instructions in decreasing the side effects of poor wound healing following simple tooth extraction. This single-blinded, randomized clinical trial was conducted on 400 patients presented for simple extraction of unimpacted teeth. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups of verbal and verbal plus written instructed groups.  Collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at a significance level of 95%. More men (51.5%) were seen. The participants' mean age was 37.3 ± 14.3 years (range, 18-87 years). The results showed that the mode of delivering instructions had a marked relation with socket healing. The post-extraction healing score was significantly higher in the verbal and written instructed group compared with the verbal instructions alone (P = 0.00). The age (P = 0.04) and type of instruction (P = 0.00) were significantly associated with excellent wound healing. Only the type of instruction that independently predicted the excellent wound healing (OR = 0.12; P = 0.00).

Methods: This is a prospective, cohort, clinical-based study. The timing of infected tooth is the predictor variable, whereas the healing parameters are the outcome variables.  The outcome variables include timing of extraction, patients’ preference of immediate or delayed extraction, healing time of soft tissues surrounding extraction sockets, and development of complication(s). Other variables were grouped into demographic and clinical parameters. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed. Results: The sample composed of 77 patients with 154 molars grouped as follows: control (n= 77, 50%) extracted on first visit and experimental (n= 77, 50%) removed subsequently on the 5 th day. There was no significant association between acute dentoalveolar abscess and development of alveolar osteitis (P= 0.831) as complication rates were 5.2% in control group and 6.5% in experimental. Most patients preferred immediate extraction, and healing period of soft tissues was 0.5 weeks shorter in the control than experimental group (P= 0.57).

The age range was from 10-70 year with average of 40 years. The females were 7 cases (31.81%) and males were15 (68.18%).  The majority of cases were submandibular gland 16 cases (72.72%) followed by sublingual gland 5 cases (22.72%) and the parotid gland (4.54%). The presence of stone was similar on both sides. The surgical approach was applied by removal of stone in 11 cases and removal of gland in 11 cases.

Method: An analytic study of hospital records of elderly patients with symptomatic impacted mandibular third molars over 17 years was undertaken. Information on demographics, types of impaction, reasons for surgical extraction, and complications after treatment were obtained. Those who were asymptomatic would be excluded from analysis. Results: Altogether, 6214 impacted mandibular third molars were isolated in 5, 431 patients. However, 436 (7.0%) symptomatic impacted teeth were recorded in 436 (8.0%) patients and these were extracted, while the rest, 5778 (93.0%) were asymptomatic.  Males were greater than females in the ratio of 1.1:1.

Periodontal disease was 211 (48.4%) of the case in addition to dental caries and its clinical sequelae 203 (46.6%) were significant reasons for extractions (P=0.000). The common postoperative complications were alveolar osteitis and hypersensitivity of the adjacent molar 22(68.7%) which related to surgical extraction of disto-angular impactions (P= 0.001). Conclusions: This study showed the older the patient the less likely malpositioned mandibular third molar suggesting that majority of such impactions do not cause pathology after many years of their presence in the oral cavity.

Polyamide materials are more flexible than the commonly used polymethylmethacrylate. The flexibility of polyamide allows partial dentures to be pressed in one piece including clasps. Glass fibers are the most widely used reinforcing materials forming about 90 % of the reinforcement in resins. The addition of fibers to provisional restorative resin increases tensile strength, fracture toughness and surface hardness.\u0000\u0000Objective of the study: An evaluation of the surface roughness, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength improvement of flexible denture bases after adding of glass fibers and altering in powder – monomer ratio.\u0000\u0000Material and Methods: Eighty samples of flexible acrylic were made and divided into two main groups according to the type of test to be used. Forty samples for surface roughness and forty samples for tensile strength and (modulus of elasticity). Each group is divided into four subgroups according to fibers addition and to the alteration in powder-liquid ratio as follows: group (A) consists of (10 specimens) without the addition of glass fibers and with (3:1) powder- monomer ratio. Group (B) consists of (10 specimens) with addition of glass fibers and with (3:1) powder- monomer ratio, group (C) consists of (10 specimens) without addition of glass fibers and with (2.5:1) powder- monomer ratio and group (D) consists of (10 specimens) with glass fibers and with (2.5:1) powder- monomer ratio. The tensile strength and modulus of elasticity were determined by Instron testing machine at cross speed of 0.5mm/min. The T.R 200 device was used to indicate the values of surface roughness specimens before and after finishing and polishing.\u0000\u0000Results: In the present study, ANOVA test showed a significant difference at (P<0.05) between all the groups of tensile strength test.Least significant difference( LSD) test showed a non-significant difference at (P>0.05) between most of the tested groups except the groups of 3:1 powder–monomer ratio with and without fibers addition and groups of 3:1 ratio without fibers addition in comparison with the groups of 2.5:1 ratio with fibers addition which showed highly significant .
