Polymerase chain reaction of enterococcus faecalis and candida albicans in apical periodontitis from Turkish patients.
2012
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of two important pathogenic microorganisms associated with endodontic infections, Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans, in root canal samples from patients with necrotic pulps or failed canal therapy by polymerase chain reaction method. Method: Microbial samples were obtained from 117 teeth with necrotic pulp tissues and 114 teeth with failed endodontic treatment. Results: E.faecalis were identified in 16% of the necrotic and 10% of the retreated root canal infections by PCR. C.albicans genome were identified in 20% and 11% of the necrotic and retreated root canal infections, respectively, by PCR. The frequencies of microbiota …
Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia with total anodontia: A case report
2011
Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder that occurs as a consequence of disturbances in the ectoderm of the developing embryo. The triad of nail dystrophy, alopecia or hypotrichosis and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis is usually accompanied by a lack of sweat glands and a partial or complete absence of primary and/ or permanent dentition. A case report illustrating the prosthetic rehabilitation of a seven year old boy with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia associated with total anodontia is presented.
Estudio de la Enseñanza Postgraduada Pública de Cirugía Bucal en España
2005
El objetivo de este estudio de investigación es dar a conocer el tipo de enseñanza postgraduada pública en Cirugía Bucal que se está impartiendo actualmente en España, realizando un estudio descriptivo con relación a los contenidos teóricos y prácticos de los diferentes Máster, mediante encuestas contestadas por alumnos que han concluido el postgrado. Posteriormente se observa la posible relación existente con la edad, sexo y formación previa como odontólogo o estomatólogo. Los resultados muestran una peor preparación en los temas referentes a planificar y realizar el tratamiento de patología de glándulas salivales, de la transposición del nervio dentario inferior y de tumores bucales, y en…
A comparative assessment of the accuracy of electronic apex locator (Root ZX) in the presence of commonly used irrigating solutions
2013
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of Root ZX in determining working length in presence of normal saline, 0.2% chlorhexidine and 2.5% of sodium hypochlorite. Material and Methods: Sixty extracted, single rooted, single canal human teeth were used. Teeth were decoronated at CEJ and actual canal length determined. Then working length measurements were obtained with Root ZX in presence of normal saline 0.9%, 0.2% chlorhexidine and 2.5% NaOCl. The working length obtained with Root ZX were compared with actual canal length and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: No statistical significant difference was found between actual canal length and Root ZX measurements in pres…
Lesiones de la mucosa bucal y comportamiento de la enfermedad periodontal en embarazadas
2004
-Objetivos. Identificar la prevalencia y severidad de enfermedad periodontal, necesidades de tratamiento periodontal y prevalencia de lesiones de la mucosa bucal. -Diseño del estudio. Estudio prospectivo, observacional y tangencial en el que se examinaron 7,952 mujeres (1991-1999) en la Escuela de Odontología de la Universidad De La Salle Bajío, en León, Gto. México, registrándose: edad, antecedentes personales patológicos, índice periodontal simplificado y lesiones de la mucosa bucal. Se integraron dos grupos: de mujeres embarazadas y de no gestantes, con edades similares. Los resultados fueron manejados en porcentajes, utilizando la prueba de Chi cuadrada para identificar su significancia…
Effects of acids used in the microabrasion technique: microhardness and confocal microscopy analysis
2015
Background: This study evaluated the effects of the acids used in the microabrasion on enamel. Material and Methods: Seventy enamel/dentine blocks (25 mm 2 ) of bovine incisors were divided into 7 groups (n=10). Experimental groups were treated by active/passive application of 35% H 3 PO 4 (E1/E2) or 6.6% HCl (E3/ E4). Control groups were treated by microabrasion with H 3 PO 4 +pumice (C5), HCl+silica (C6), or no treatment (C7). The superficial (SMH) and cross-sectional (CSMH; depths of 10, 25, 50, and 75 μm) microhardness of enamel were analyzed. Morphology was evaluated by confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM). Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (Proc Mixed), Tukey, and Dunnet…
A comparative study of fluoride release from two different sealants
2014
Objectives: The introduction of fluoride releasing sealants and glass ionomer cements as fissure sealants adds another dimension to prevention of pit and fissure caries. The ability of resin sealants and glass ionomer cements to release fluoride on a long term basis to the sealed enamel and the adjacent unsealed pit and fissure and cuspal in - cline enamel may allow for further reduction in pit and fissure caries experience for children. Hence, the study was conducted to compare the amount of fluoride release in the plaque after placing fluoride releasing pit and fissure sealants and glass ionomer fissure sealants used in Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) approach. To compare the fluor…
The effect of protocol for disinfection of extracted teeth recommended by center for disease control (CDC) on microhardness of enamel and dentin
2015
Background: According to the guideline of the United States center for disease control (CDC), the extracted teeth should be sterilized by autoclaving or storage in 10% formalin before using for educational or research purposes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of this protocol on microhardness of dentin and enamel. Material and Methods: Thirty extracted single-root teeth were used in this study. The crowns were resected, and the roots were longitudinally sectioned into two halves. The Vickers microhardness (VHN) of specimens was measured on polished canal dentin and buccal enamel surfaces. The crowns were randomly divided into three groups (n=10). Group 1 and 2 were st…
Non-surgical endodontics in retreatment of periapical lesions: two representative case reports
2012
This article reports non-surgical endodontic retreatment of two patients with persistent or recurrent periapical lesions, who had previously undergone surgical and non-surgical endodontic therapy respectively. It further discusses and reviews the relevance of classification of periapical lesions, the explanation behind healing of periapical lesions by endodontic therapy alone, causes of persistence of periapical lesions, choice of treatment modalities (whether surgical or non – surgical) and materials such as intracanal medicaments and irrigants for optimal healing. Key words:Non-surgical, retreatment, periapical, calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine irrigation.
Condiciones sistémicas asociadas con periodontitis en la infancia y la adolescencia: una revisión de las posibilidades diagnósticas
2005
El término periodontitis se usa para describir un grupo de enfermedades multifactoriales que llevan a la destrucción progresiva de las estructuras que unen los dientes a los maxilares, el llamado aparato de soporte, que incluye el ligamento periodontal, cemento radicular y hueso alveolar. Si permanece sin tratamiento, este proceso conlleva en última instancia a la pérdida dentaria. La patogenia de estas enfermedades implica inicialmente la colonización del microambiente gingival de un huésped susceptible por una bacteria procedente de la placa dental. Posteriormente, la mayoría de la destrucción tisular característica de la periodontitis es una respuesta del huésped contra estos organismos.…
