Comparison of a Tridimensional Cephalometric Analysis Performed
Maspero et al. Progress in Orthodontics (2019) 20:40 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40510-019-0293-x RESEARCH Open Access Comparison of a tridimensional cephalometric analysis performed on 3T- MRI compared with CBCT: a pilot study in adults Cinzia Maspero1,2*† , Andrea Abate1,2†, Francesca Bellincioni1,2†, Davide Cavagnetto1,2†, Valentina Lanteri1,2, Antonella Costa1 and Marco Farronato1,2 Abstract Objective: Since the introduction of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dentistry, this technology has enabled distortion-free three-dimensional cephalometric analysis for orthodontic and orthognathic surgery diagnosis. However, CBCT is associated with significantly higher radiation exposure than traditional routine bidimensional examinations for orthodontic diagnosis, although low-dose protocols have markedly reduced radiation exposure over time. The objective of this preliminary feasibility study is to compare the accuracy and diagnostic capabilities of an already-validated three-dimensional cephalometric analysis on CBCT to those of an analysis on 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (3T-MRI) to assess whether the latter can deliver a comparable quality of information while avoiding radiation exposure. Materials and methods: In order to test the feasibility of three-dimensional cephalometry on 3T-MRI, 18 subjects (4 male; 14 female) with mean age 37.8 ± SD 10.2, who had undergone both maxillofacial CBCT and maxillofacial 3T-MRI for various purposes within 1 month, were selected from the archive of the Department of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery of Fondazione Ospedale Policlinico Maggiore, IRCCS, Milano, Italy. A three-dimensional cephalometric analysis composed of ten midsagittal and four bilateral landmarks and 24 measurements (11 angular, 13 linear) was performed on both scans using Mimics Research® v. -
TITLE: Photo-Activated Disinfection Therapy for Dental Surgery: Review of the Clinical Effectiveness
TITLE: Photo-Activated Disinfection Therapy for Dental Surgery: Review of the Clinical Effectiveness DATE: 11 September 2013 CONTEXT AND POLICY ISSUES The oral cavity harbors more than 700 prokaryote species;1 most of these species are normal flora of the healthy oral cavity.2 Some of these microorganisms are responsible for oral pathologies. Bacteria such as Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia are responsible for common forms of periodontal diseases,3 and Bacteroides, Peptostreptococcus, and microaerophilic Streptococcus species may cause osteomyelitis of the jaw.4 During a surgical intervention, disinfection of the oral cavity is attempted by using different chemical solutions such as chlorhexidine and iodine. This is done to prevent, or at least reduce the risk of wound infections or bacteremia following the surgical intervention.5 In the case of periodontal and endodontic treatments, mechanical cleaning of the affected surfaces are believed to be the gold standard.6 Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy or light-activated disinfection is a technology based on the production of free oxygen radicals capable of affecting the membranes of microorganisms.7 The technique is composed of a photosensitizer substance that can be activated with a suitable wave length and light source. The photosensitizer, usually toluidine blue, is activated with a light source. After its activation, it produces energy capable of transforming the surrounding oxygen into free radicals. The free radical then attacks the exposed microorganisms.7 Photodynamic chemotherapy may be used in dentistry to reduce the bacterial load in cases of periodontal lesions and during root canals. Another potential use of this technique is as a pre- surgical disinfection method for the oral cavity to prevent oral flora from penetrating the bone and submucosal tissues during surgery. -

Loss of oral function may be due to tooth loss, which can affect the quality of life of an individual. The aim of our study was to evaluate the quality of life in toothless adults in Ndé division. A total of 1054 edentulous subjects (partial, mixed, total) completed the OHIP-14 questionnaire, used for assessing the quality of life in edentulous patients. Males (63%), were more dominant and the ages of the patients ranged between 18 to 120 years old. Caries (71.6%), were the leading cause of tooth loss followed by poor oral hygiene (63.15%) and the consequence being the loss of aesthetics at 56.6%. -

Serial Extraction: Is It a Panacea for Crowded Arches?
Review article Annals and Essences of Dentistry SERIAL EXTRACTION: IS IT A PANACEA FOR CROWDED ARCHES? * Radhika Chopra * Senior Lecturer, Karnavati School of Dentistry, Ghandhinagar ABSTRACT Serial Extraction or the guidance of eruption is an age old procedure to correct crowded arches and is still used in routine dental practice. But the efficacy of this procedure has always been controversial and it requires very precise clinical skill for a favorable outcome. This article presents a review regarding the proper selection of cases for serial extraction, its limitations and various adjuncts that are required to get good results.

The Definition of New Dental Morphological Variants Related to Malocclusion
10 Technical Note: The Definition of New Dental Morphological Variants Related to Malocclusion Marin A. Pilloud1,* 1 Department of Anthropology, University of Nevada, Reno, NV 89557 Keywords: dental crowding, midline diastema, canine diastema, overbite, underbite, overjet ABSTRACT Since the codification of the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System over 25 years ago, few additional morphological traits have been defined. This work serves to expand the cur- rent suite of traits currently collected by biological anthropologists. These traits surround various issues of malocclusion and follow clinical definitions of these traits as well as incorporate observed population variation in character states. These traits include issues of spacing (i.e., diastema and crowding) as well as mandibular and maxillary occlusion (i.e., overbite, underbite). A discussion of the etiology and utili- ty of these traits in bioarchaeological and forensic anthropological research is also given. The Arizona State University Dental Anthropology Diastema System (ASUDAS) has been the standard in defin- While the midline diastema has been defined in the ing morphological variants of the teeth for over 25 new volumes by Scott and Irish (2017) and Edgar years (Turner et al., 1991).

Serial Extraction
أ. د. أكرم فيصل الحويزي 5th Year Lec. No. 11 SERIAL EXTRACTION Serial extraction involves the timed extraction of primary and, ultimately, permanent teeth to relieve severe crowding and to guide the erupting permanent teeth into a more favorable position. It is better termed it ‘Guidance of Eruption’ or ‘Guidance of Occlusion’. Commonly at 7-8 years of age the maxillary and mandibular central incisors have erupted, but there is inadequate space in anterior segments to allow normal eruption and positioning of lateral incisors. In some cases, mandibular lateral incisors have already erupted but they are usually lingually positioned and rotated. The same is with the maxillary lateral incisors. The orthodontist has four option: Wait for growth to provide more space and re-evaluate later. Expansion of the dental arch. However, the stability of expansion may be compromised by the insufficient alveolar basal bone. Cement a transpalatal or lingual bar to preserve the Leeway space for later on. Serial extraction can reduce crowding and irregularity during the mixed dentition. HISTORY Bunon (1743) made the first reference to the extraction of deciduous teeth to achieve a better alignment of permanent teeth. In 1929, Kjellgren of Sweden first used the term ‘serial extraction’. In the 1940s, the technique was popularised in the United States by Nance who is known as the Father of serial extraction. It was advocated originally as a method to treat severe crowding by their own dentists without or with only minimal use of appliance therapy, thus minimizing demands upon the orthodontic service. Although serial extraction makes later comprehensive treatment easier and often quicker, by itself it almost never results in ideal tooth position or closure of excess space. -
