Dental implants placement in paranoid squizofrenic patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder: A case report
2017
Background Paranoid schizophrenia is a mental illness that involves no observable anatomical alteration. Main characteristic affects the personality of the individual, as well as areas of his own psychology. Case report A 33-year-old man with paranoid schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder in treatment with Haloperidol, Oxcarbazepine, Olanzapine and Seroquel is presented. Dental exploration showed widespread decay mostly cervical with numerous root fragments, agenesis of lateral incisors, impacted wisdom teeth, missing teeth and malocclusion. Treatment plan included restoration of teeth decay, extractions of root fragments and implant-supported prostheses in bilateral upper lateral…
Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia: a systematic review
2017
Introduction Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia (IPH) is a benign lesion of the palatal mucosa. It is usually found in denture-wearers but also has been reported in patients without a history of use of a maxillary prosthesis use. Objetives The aim of this study is to review the literature to assess the prevalence of denture stomatitis and inflammatory papillary hyperplasia and the etiological factors associated. Material and Methods A search was carried out in PubMed (January 2005 to October 2015) with the key words “inflammatory papillary hyperplasia”, “denture stomatitis”, “granular stomatitis” and “Newton’s type III” The inclusion criteria were studies including at least a sample of 50 a…
In vitro and in vivo investigations of osteogenic differentiation ability of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSC…
2020
Thanks to the use of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), smart biomaterials and active biomolecules, Regenerative Medicine (RM) and Bone Tissue Engineering (BTE) can restore structure and function of injured tissues. Among the different sources of hMSCs, the oro-facial hMSCs have promising in vitro and in vivo regeneration potential; in particular, dental pulp and gingiva are valuable sources of autologous hMSCs. The aim of this PhD thesis is testing the in vitro and in vivo bone regeneration ability of hMSCs isolated from dental pulp and inflamed gingiva of periodontally-compromised teeth, up to now considered biological waste tissues and discarded during surgical procedures, on two comm…
Papillon- Lefevre Syndrome: Report of a case and its management
2012
Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder first described by two French physicians, Papillon and Lefèvre in 1924. The disorder is characterized by diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma and precocious aggressively progressing periodontitis, leading to the premature loss of deciduous and permanent teeth at a very young age. The cutaneous lesions are usually manifested simultaneously with the intra-oral presentations and include keratotic plaques on the palms and soles varying from mild psoriasiform scaly skin to overt hyperkeratosis. The etiopathogenesis of the syndrome is relatively obscure and immunologic, genetic or possible bacterial etiologies have been proposed. …

Mammoth remains from the Opole area, southwest Poland
2016
Isolated skeletal remains of woolly mammoths, found in the Opole region, are described and illustrated. Most of these were recovered in the first half of the twentieth century; they are now deposited in several museum collections but have not yet been described in detail, nor illustrated. Recent discoveries in the area were the prime trigger for the present review of previously collected material. A summary of current knowledge of all finds of mammoth remains from the Opole area is the main aim of this note, inclusive of a brief history of research. In addition, a single radiocarbon dating has been performed. All skeletal elements, i.e., molars, pelvis, femur, scapula, jaw, tusks and cement…
Factors influencing caries status and treatment needs among pregnant women attending a maternity hospital in Udaipur city, India.
2012
To estimate the prevalence and severity of dental caries along with the treatment needs; to determine the factors that influence dental caries status among pregnant women attending a district maternity hospital in Udaipur, India. Study design: Study sample comprised of 206 pregnant women attending a district maternity hospital in Udaipur, India. Clinical data were collected on dental caries by DMFT and treatment needs as described in World Health Organization Dentition status and Treatment needs. Results: The overall caries prevalence was 87%. Mean caries experience differed significantly among women in various trimesters, it was found to be 3.59 and 3.00 in 1st and 2nd trimester subjects r…
Mirror imaging of impacted and supernumerary teeth in dizygotic twins: A case report
2015
Background: Mesiodens is the most common type of supernumerary tooth found in the premaxilla. It might be discovered during the clinical examination as a casual finding on a radiograph or as the cause of an unerupted maxillary central incisor. The genetic transmission of supernumerary and impacted teeth is poorly understood. Mirror imaging in twins has been reported frequently in relation to several unilateral dental anomalies including mesiodens. This phenomenon is the appearance of an asymmetrical feature or anomaly occurring on the right side of one twin but on the left side of the other twin. The event of mesiodens mirror imaging in monozygotic twins has been described in literature. Re…
In vitro antimicrobial activity of sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine gluconate and octenidine dihydrochloride in elimination of microor- ganisms wit…
2011
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different irrigation solutions at different time intervals for the elimination of E.faecalis and C.albicans penetrated into the dentine tubules of primary and permanent teeth in vitro. The 4 mm primary and permanent teeth sections were sterilized and contaminated with a mixture of E.faecalis and C.albicans strains. After the application of different irrigation solutions (Sodium hypochlorite, Chlorhexidine gluconate, Octenidine Dihydrochloride, saline) to the contaminated tooth sections according to study groups, neutralizers were applied for inactivation of the solutions after 30 sec, 1 min and 5 min. Dentine shavings were placed in…
Comparison of dental treatment performed under general anesthesia between healthy children and children with special health care needs in a hospital …
2018
Background The aim of this retrospective study was to assess and compare the dental treatments performed under general anesthesia (GA) between healthy children and children with special health care needs (SHCN) according to age group and gender at king Fahd hospital, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Material and Methods Data was retrieved from the records of 304 healthy and SHCN children 1 18 years of age who received dental rehabilitation under GA in the period 2015-2018. The dental treatment modalities were compared in the two groups and differences according to age group and gender were reported. Results Compared to healthy children, children with SHCN received significantly less pulp therapy trea…
