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. -

B 96689336 - eISSN: 1989-5488 eMail: [email protected] Abstract Chronic renal disease (CRD) is the renal disease that manifests oral consequences most frequently, and it is defi- ned as a progressive and irreversible decline in renal function associated with a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The most frequent causes of CRD are diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and glomerulonephritis. CRD is classified in 5 stages – from kidney damage with normal or increased GFR to renal failure. In order to quantify the CRD, renal function is measured using the GFR, which is estimated using creatinine clea- rance (CC). This CC is used for dose adjustment of drugs. In dental practice, the function of the kidneys can be measured indirectly through plasmatic creatinine (Cr), that can be related to the CC using several formulas. The treatment of CRD includes dietary changes, correction of systemic complications, and dialysis or the receipt of a renal graft in severe cases. -

Choice of Drugs in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis
RHEUMATOLOGY IN GENERAL PRACTICE 7 Those with predominant but never exclusive involvement of the terminal finger joint, usually associated with changes in the nail of the same finger; they are serologically negative. There may be a swollen finger with loss of the skin markings-a sort of dactylitis, again serologically negative. (2) Those with a much more severe process which produces loss of movement in the spine and changes in the sacroiliac joints much the same as those in ankylosing spondylitis; unlike ankylosing spondylitis, it produces severe deformity often with ankylosis in peripheral joints. Many of the finger joints become deformed and ankylosed. (3) Those cases indistinguishable from rheumatoid arthritis although the majority are sero-negative. The Stevens Johnson syndrome produces acute effusions, particularly in large joints. It is sometimes associated with the rash of erythema multiforme, always with ulceration in the mouth and genital tract; the mouth ulcers are accompanied by sloughing, unlike those of Beh9et's syndrome which we come to next. BehCet's syndrome, originally described as a combination of orogenital ulceration with relapsing iritis, is now expanded to include skin lesions, other eye lesions, lesions of the central nervous system, thrombophlebitis migrans, and arthropathy (occurring in 64 per cent). The onset is acute, often affecting only a single joint and settling without residual trouble. Choice of drugs in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis Dr Dudley Hart, M.D., F.R.C.P. (Consultant physician, Westminster Hospital and Medical School) There are many potential drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid disease, but what are we treating in this disorder? Pain in rheumatoid arthritis is but one of the symp- toms. -

General Anesthesia in Dentistry R
Review Article General anesthesia in dentistry R. Balaji1, M. Dhanraj2*, Arunasree Vadaguru Mallikarjuna2 ABSTRACT Dentistry, in its surgical and restorative aspect, is in majority based on office practice. Limited dentists work routinely in operation theaters. Majority of the dental procedures can be performed under local anesthesia which is inherently safe. Most dentists are skilled in techniques of local anesthetics and nerve blocks. General anesthesia should not be used as a method of anxiety control but for pain control. All general anesthetics are associated with some risk, and modern dentistry is based on the principle that all potentially painful treatment should be performed under local anesthesia, if at all possible. General anesthesia is strictly limited to those patients and clinical situations in which local anesthesia (with or without sedation) is not an option such as children or individuals with learning difficulties. This review elucidates the facts and importance of general anesthesia in dentistry. KEY WORDS: Anesthesia, Complication, Extraction, Sedation INTRODUCTION would otherwise be technically unfeasible. Three broad categories of anesthesia exist: Pain has always been linked to dentistry, representing a • General anesthesia suppresses central nervous persistent challenge to the employment of preventive, system activity and results in unconsciousness and restorative, and surgical dental practice.[1,2] It is total lack of sensation. accepted that various procedures in the dental clinic • Sedation suppresses the central nervous system cause pain such as deep dental fillings, root canal to a lesser degree, inhibiting both anxiety and therapy, tooth extraction and tooth preparation.

Fusobacteria Bacteremia Post Full Mouth Disinfection Therapy: a Case Report
IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) e-ISSN: 2279-0853, p-ISSN: 2279-0861.Volume 14, Issue 7 Ver. VI (July. 2015), PP 77-81 www.iosrjournals.org Fusobacteria Bacteremia Post Full Mouth Disinfection Therapy: A Case Report Parth, Purwar1, Vaibhav Sheel1, Manisha Dixit1, Jaya Dixit1 1 Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dental Sciences, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Abstract: Oral bacteria under certain circumstances can enter the systemic circulation and can lead to adverse systemic effects. Fusobacteria species are numerically dominant species in dental plaque biofilms and are also associated with negative systemic outcomes. In the present case report, full mouth disinfection (FMD) was performed in a systemically healthy chronic periodontitis patient and the incidence of fusobateria species bacteremia in peripheral blood was evaluated before, during and after FMD. The results showed a significant increase in fusobacterium sp. bacteremia post FMD and the levels remained higher even after 30 minutes. In the light of the results it can be proposed that single visit FMD may result in transient bacteraemia. Keywords: Chronic Periodontitis, Non surgical periodontal therapy, Fusobacterium species, Full mouth disinfection Therapy I. Introduction After scaling and root planing (SRP), bacteremia has been analyzed predominately in aerobic and gram-positive bacteria. Fusobaterium is a potential periopathogen which upon migration to extra-oral sites may provide a significant and persistent gram negative challenge to the host and may enhance the risk of adverse cardiovascular and pregnancy complications [1].To the authors knowledge this is a seminal case report which gauges the occurrence and magnitude of fusobactrium sp.
