[Year:2016] [Month:January-June] [Volume:5] [Number:1] [Pages:5] [Pages No:11 - 15]

   DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10029-1116  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Objective

To determine the effect of ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and RcPrep to microstrain of human root dentin.

Materials and method

Fifteen extracted human premolars were sectioned at the cementoenamel junction using a diamond bur disk. Every group was then sectioned horizontally in the third cervical, third middle and third apical to have total of 45 specimens. Based on the test solutions used, specimens were divided randomly into three groups: (1) the EDTA group: 0.05 ml of 17% EDTA for 15 minute (n = 15), (2) the RcPrep group, 0.05 ml of 15% EDTA-urea peroxide-carbowax for 15 minutes (n = 15), and (3) the control group, 1 ml of 0.9% saline for 15 minutes (n = 15). All specimens were prepared for the determination of microstrain of root dentin using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The microstrain of root dentin calculated using the equation ? = Br cos?/sin? then statistically analyzed using regression test.

Result

Analysis of regression between control and treatment groups were significant (p < 0.05). The microstrain was significantly greater with 17% EDTA when compared with 15% RcPrep. In addition, based on XRD result, all specimens showed same patterns as apatite groups. The pattern of RcPrep group showed better material than EDTA group.

Conclusion

EDTA and RcPrep can contribute to improvements of microstrain of root dentin. In comparing these properties, the RcPrep showed lower effect than EDTA.

   DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10029-1117  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Aim

The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between dental service utilization and oral health-related quality of life status in preschool children.

Materials and methods

In this cross-sectional study, 165 five-year-old preschool children (F/M: 77/88) were included. Data were collected by clinical examinations, a questionnaire regarding oral health-related factors, and early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS) for oral health-related quality of life.

Results

In emergency visits, the ratios of having dental pain, dental sensitivity, tooth decay, tooth loss were higher than the others (p < 0.05). Moreover, ECOHIS-Total, ECOHIS-Child, and ECOHIS-Family scores were higher in children with poor oral health status compared with good ones (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Early childhood oral health impact scale score related with oral health status could be used to evaluate priority for emergencies in this age group.

[Year:2016] [Month:January-June] [Volume:5] [Number:1] [Pages:6] [Pages No:28 - 33]

   DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10029-1119  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Aim

To assess the prevalence of gingival recession and to investigate possible associations among gingival recession and periodontal and epidemiological variables in a sample of Greek adults in a general dental practice.

Materials and methods

A sample of 640 Greek adults was examined clinically and interviewed regarding several periodontal and epidemiological variables. Collected data included demographic background (age, gender, level of education), oral hygiene habits, and smoking status. Clinical examination included the recording of dental plaque and supragingival calculus presence, gingival status, and gingival recession. In addition, the association between gingival recession and the following variables was assessed: gender, smoking status, calculus presence, plaque control methods, plaque index, gingival index, and level of education. Multiple linear regression analysis was carried out to model the association of gingival recession with the mentioned potential risk factors.

Results

The overall prevalence of gingival recession was 62.7%. The performance of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that smoking (p = 0.001), plaque index (p = 0.021), gingival index (p < 0.0001), plaque control methods (p < 0.001), and level of education (p < 0.001) were the most important associated factors of gingival recession.

Conclusion

The present study indicates that an association exists between gingival recession and presence of gingival inflammation, inadequate oral hygiene habits, and smoking.

To compare Clinical and Anesthetic Efficacy of 4% Articaine, 0.5% Bupivacaine, and 2% Lignocaine in Maxillary Extractions

[Year:2016] [Month:January-June] [Volume:5] [Number:1] [Pages:6] [Pages No:34 - 39]

   DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10029-1120  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Materials and methods

The study was conducted in Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, on 50 systemically healthy subjects (18–75 years) requiring multiple maxillary extractions. Patients were labeled into 3 groups (2% lignocaine, 4% articaine, 0.5% bupivacaine using split mouth technique. Parameters includes: Time of anesthetic onset, Duration of postoperative analgesia, Postoperative anesthesia, and visual analog scale (VAS). A volume of 1.8–2 ml of 2% lignocaine or 4% articaine or 0.5% bupivacaine was infiltrated in the buccal vestibule (local infiltration) before extraction.

Results

The results showed that time of onset of action was significantly faster in 4% articaine when compared to 2% lignocaine and 0.5% bupivacaine.

Conclusion

Articaine have being proved to have better potency and efficacy in terms of onset of action and lower pain scores comparison but lignocaine still remained the gold standard local anesthetic agent in Dental practice due to its faster time of onset, less time of anesthesia and cost effectiveness when compared articaine and bupivacaine. Bupivacaine proved more efficient in pain control and remained concentrated for major procedures.

Comparative Evaluation of Efficacy of Two New Commercially Available Desensitizing Agents: An in vivo Study

[Year:2016] [Month:January-June] [Volume:5] [Number:1] [Pages:5] [Pages No:40 - 44]

   DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10029-1121  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Objective

To compare the clinical efficacy of two commercially available desensitizing agents, Fluorprotector vivampuole and GLUMA comfort bond plus desensitizer in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.

Materials and methods

A total of 203 teeth were selected for study. Patients who presented with a history of sensitivity to hot/cold, sweet, and sour food were examined using light tactile response along the cervical margin of the teeth. The assessment methods used to quantify sensitivity were tactile test, air blast test, and cold water test. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1: GLUMA comfort bond plus desensitizer; group 2: Fluorprotector vivampuole (newly introduced by Ivoclar). The patients were evaluated for sensitivity at five appointments: at baseline, immediately after application of the agent, 1 day after application, after 1 week, and after 1 month.

Results

Patients belonging to group 2 showed significantly better results compared with patients of group 1 at 4 weeks.

Conclusion

Both the desensitizing agents showed significant reduction in sensitivity at all time intervals compared with baseline. However, Fluorprotector vivampuole appeared to be more effective in providing long-term relief against all the three test stimuli.

Clinical Significance

Fluorprotector vivampuole is a newly introduced fluoride varnish which is clear and colorless. It can be used in cases of dentinal hypersensitivity without affecting the aesthetics of the patient, particularly in case of anterior teeth.

A Randomized Controlled Trial and Radiographic Evaluation of Adjunctive Periodontal Treatment with Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation

[Year:2016] [Month:January-June] [Volume:5] [Number:1] [Pages:6] [Pages No:50 - 55]

   DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10029-1123  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Aim

The objective of this study was to use clinical parameters, digital subtraction analysis, and computer intensity measurement to evaluate the effect of calcium and vitamin D supplementation in adult periodontitis patients with vertical bony defect after initial therapy.

Materials and methods

A total of 31 systemically healthy patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis and normal serum calcium level were included. The most obvious proximal vertical bony defect was selected in each patient as an area of interest (AOI). Subjects received initial periodontal therapy. They were randomized into two groups. The test group (n= 17) received calcium (600 mg twice daily) and vitamin D (0.25 µg once daily) supplements for 6 months. The control group (n= 14) received placebos. At baseline and 6 months, probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and standardized vertical bitewing radiographs were recorded for the AOI.

Results

A greater percentage of patients in the test group (64.7%) than in the control group (35.7%) gained bone according to both radiographic evaluation methods. At baseline and 6 months, no significant intragroup or intergroup differences in PPD and CAL were observed. Slightly greater PPD reduction and CAL gain were noted in the test group.

Conclusion

Periodontal healing of vertical bony defects was better among patients who used calcium and vitamin D supplements than among control patients. Although the difference was not statistically different between the groups, the test group tended toward more improvement.

Nonsurgical Approach in Periodontal Therapy for a Patient with Metabolic Syndrome

[Year:2016] [Month:January-June] [Volume:5] [Number:1] [Pages:5] [Pages No:64 - 68]

   DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10029-1126  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Aim

The aim of this article is to describe the effect nonsurgical periodontal therapy can have on the improvement in the glycemic and lipid indices of patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).

Background

Combination of noncommunicable diseases has become increasingly common among the people at present. Metabolic syndrome is a combination of dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, and hypertension. Periodontal disease (PDD) is also a common entity among many people. The heightened chance of PDD in the diabetic patient is well established. Among the treatment modalities for PDD, nonsurgical therapy plays a major role. Reduction of the major causative factors of PDD can bring about a massive improvement of the disease through this approach.

Case description

Periodontal management of an adult patient with MS via nonsurgical periodontal therapy alone had shown dramatic improvement of periodontal as well as general health of the patient at the completion of the treatment.

Conclusion

Improvement of glycemic indices of diabetic patients has been shown with periodontal treatment in conjunction with medical treatment.

Clinical Significance

Value of a dental professional in diagnosing metabolic diseases through detection of periodontal and other dental complications cannot be underestimated. A well-executed nonsurgical periodontal therapy alone can bring about a massive improvement of the PDD condition as well as other metabolic diseases, such as DM, emphasizing the importance of proper collaboration among the dental surgeons with the medical practitioner.
