  • 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.

  • Bleeding Disorders of Importance in Dental Care and Related Patient Management
    Clinical P RACTIC E Bleeding Disorders of Importance in Dental Care and Related Patient Management Contact Author Anurag Gupta, BDS; Joel B. Epstein, DMD, MSD, FRCD(C); Robert J. Cabay, MD, DDS Dr. Epstein Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Oral care providers must be aware of the impact of bleeding disorders on the manage- ment of dental patients. Initial recognition of a bleeding disorder, which may indicate the presence of a systemic pathologic process, may occur in dental practice. Furthermore, prophylactic, restorative and surgical dental care of patients with bleeding disorders is best accomplished by practitioners who are knowledgeable about the pathology, com- plications and treatment options associated with these conditions. The purpose of this paper is to review common bleeding disorders and their effects on the delivery of oral health care.

In this study, the Delphi technique was used to gather opinions from a variety of professionals on the problems of and remedies for the dental license management system in Korea. Methods: Delphi surveys were conducted from April 2016 to October 2016 in South Korea. A variety of dental professionals were included and catego- rized into 3 groups according to their expertise as follows: the basic dentistry group, the clinical dentistry group, and the policy group. The Delphi technique was conducted in 3 rounds of e-mail surveys, each with different questions that probed with increasing depth on the dental license management system. In each successive round, the responses were categorized, scored on a Likert scale, and sta- tistically analyzed. Results: After categorizing the results of the first survey and ranking the results of the second survey using the Del- phi technique, regulation by a licensing authority was found to be the most critical issue.
