A major concern is the alteration of the structural integrity of the abutment finishing line by the ultrasonic scaler. The current study evaluates the influence of ultrasonic scaling on the integrity of the finish line. The effect of finish line design (chamfer or feather edge), and its location (dentin or enamel) was also evaluated. Methods: Intact 22 human extracted molars were divided into 2 groups: finish line was prepared on enamel (n=11) and dentin (n=11), and further subdivided to finish line configuration groups (chamfer or knife-edge). Preparation of finish line was preformed following a standard repetitive procedure. 3D scans of the same tooth before and after ultrasonic instrumentation were performed. Pre and post scaling images were superimposed. The finish line alterations were evaluated and measured. The significance of the differences was evaluated using Students’ t-test. Results: The average alteration at the finish line area following ultrasonic scaling was 71.5 ± 24.6 μm. Higher alterations were found for enamel and for chamfer finish lines compared to dentin and knife edge, 134.4 ± 61.4 μm and 30.3 ±11.7 μm respectively. The highest change (228.6μm) was found for chamfer finish line located on enamel. The differences between groups were statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Ultrasonic scaling alters the topography of the finish line area of abutment teeth and thus may compromise marginal fit and integrity of the final restoration.","PeriodicalId":93776,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46028922","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}

The guide was designed using planning software, based on the patient’s facial aesthetic analysis, photos and intraoral scanning. As a result, the surgical procedure by digital planning provided a more predictable, personalized and safe treatment and outcome to the patient. The present case report describes a gingival smile correction, using digital planning combined with high-power diode laser for periodontal surgery. After 3 months of preservation, there was less exposure of the gingiva in the smile and a high level of patient aesthetic satisfaction. Considering the importance of the correct treatment planning, it may be concluded that use of surgical guided made from a digital planning provided a predictable, personalized and safe treatment to the patient.","PeriodicalId":93776,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental applications","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41740076","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}

DPSCs depend on regulating in vitro microenvironment, and can readily differentiate into osteoblasts, odontoblasts, neurocytes, adipocytes, chondrocytes, myocytes, fibrocytes and many others. In addition, DPSCs play a crucial role in tooth regeneration, bone and nerve repair in current studies of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Among them, the influences of stem cell microenvironment or niche on the biological activity of DPSCs are critical and hamper its progress. Herein, we review the influence of culture condition, tissue source, growth factor requirements, and cellular organizational scaffolds and how these features influence the biological characteristics and translational research of DPSCs.","PeriodicalId":93776,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45284239","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}

Methods: Seventeen children, with complete CLP, 10 unilateral and seven bilateral clefts, in all 24 clefts, were evaluated six months after secondary alveolar bone-grafting with two-dimensional intra-oral radiographs complemented with CBCT. The mean age at bone-grafting was 8.8 years. Three different examiners evaluated the radiographic documentation. Results: The mean pre-operative cleft width was 5.8mm. In 15 of the 24 clefts the same interpretation was made on both two-dimensional radiographs and CBCT. In the remaining nine clefts, CBCT added important information to the treatment decision. Conclusions: For the evaluation six months post-operatively of the success of alveolar bone-grafting to clefts, the two-dimensional radiograph should be complemented with CBCT unless the two-dimensional radiograph without doubt reveals open residual cleft and clinical findings indicate graft failure.","PeriodicalId":93776,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45218363","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}

Data were collected from 411 women receiving ART. The body composition, sex hormones and biochemical indicators were assessed by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Subjects were grouped by Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat Percentage (BFP), and differences of body composition among groups were analyzed. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between sex hormones, biochemical indicators and body composition. Compared with the non-overweight group (BMI <24kg/m²), the lean body mass and fat mass of the overweight group (BMI ≥24kg/m²) increased significantly (P <0.001). Notably, 43.7% of non-overweight subjects have increased body fat as distinguished by PBF. The visceral adipose tissue increased by 50.9% in subjects with more fat. Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), triglyceride, Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) and testosterone were positively correlated with trunk fat, while High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) and estradiol were negatively correlated with trunk fat. Moreover, total cholesterol was positively correlated with Bone Mineral Content (BMC). Therefore, this research demonstrated significant differences in body composition between overweight and non-overweight women receiving ART. Combining PBF with BMI, obesity can be identified more accurately. Biochemical metabolism and sex hormones were related to body composition. Therefore, women receiving ART require detailed measurements of body composition, not BMI. Further studies are needed to confirm the relationship between pregnancy outcomes and body composition in women receiving ART treatment.","PeriodicalId":93776,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental applications","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69278621","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}
