Abdul Ilah Touleimat
PDF
Show Abstract
In 2017 WHO considered the odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) as an odontogenic development cyst. While in 2005 the same association
considered it as a lesion of odontogenic tumor.
This cystic lesion is considered as an aggressive with good chance of local recurrence after regular surgical intervention. That makes
the radical surgical treatment is the treatment of choice. Most of the time it presents a symptomatically, but the patient can report the
pain symptomatology. Here I am reporting a case report of 17 years old girl that was treated by removal of good part of her mandible
with a splint replacement and to be bone grafted in a later surgery.

PDF
Show Abstract
Background: Premature loss of primary molars plays a significant role in the malfunction of the masticatory apparatus and
considerable malocclusion. Space maintainers referred to appliances that preserve the space for adequate eruption of permanent
teeth. In modern civilization, the era of esthetics has the main interest of people; therefore, the introduction of new materials and
techniques is required.
Methods: In the present study, clinical and antimicrobial evaluation of two luting types of cement [(glass ionomer cement (group A)
and resin cement (group B)] under custom made zirconia space maintainers.
Results: Twenty-four space maintainers (96%) remain in position and function after three months of evaluation for group A and
92% for group B. Also, there was no significant difference in the antibacterial properties between the two groups.
Conclusion: Both luting types of cement provided a sufficient success rate during the clinical evaluation period.

Assessment of Root-Crown Ratio for Gender Bias and a Guideline for Abutment
Selection Using Panoramic Radiographs- A Retrospective Study
Nikitha Perla, R Prakash and D Uday Kiran Teja
PDF
Show Abstract
The purpose of this study was to use panoramic radiographs to assess the gender-related root-crown relationship of the permanent
upper incisors. The precision of the method was also evaluated.
The lengths of the crowns and roots of the central incisors of 75 subjects was measured retrospectively on a panoramic radiographs
obtained from the institutional database. A total of 150 samples were studied, of which, 52% (78 subjects) were female and 48% (72
subjects) male. The Modified Lind methodology was utilized. The average root crown ratio for permanent maxillary mid-central teeth
was 1.8 in males and 1.7 in females. Although the average root crown ratio for men was higher than for women, using the independent
student t-test, no significant difference was found among the comparative ratios between females 0.05 (95% CI: -0.129-0.175) and
males 0.04 (95% CI: -0.130-0.176), (p = 0.76) [CI- Confidential Interval] respectively. The research group's evaluation of the ratio of
the root to crown of the upper central incisor in the panoramic film has acceptable consistency. The study aims at emphasizing on the
significance of understanding the root-crown ratio in the perspective of abutment evaluation. The final decision to use a tooth as an
abutment must be based on radiographic interpretation with sound clinical judgement.

Show Abstract
Mucormycosis is an angioinvasive opportunistic fungal infection most commonly associated with diabetic, immunocompromised,
haematological malignancies, chronic steroid use and intravenous drug abusers. Mucorales is ubiquitous filamentous fungi found on
decaying matter.
Recently there has been an increasing trend in fungal infections in post covid 19. Pre existing diabetes, unhygienic oxygen administration,
unjustified steroid and antibiotic usage in COVID 19 patients can be the etiological factors. Mucormycosis affecting young
healthy individuals is extremely rare. Here we present a non diabetic 25 year male patient who recovered from SARS CoV-2 infection
came with a complaint of swelling in right cheek region and diagnosed with mucormycosis. The current report highlights the management
of a post covid 19 patient in otherwise healthy with rhinomaxillary mucormycosis.

Nasal Speech in Total Bilateral Maxillectomy Patient
with Two-Piece Obturator
Mohamed Saber Abdel-Halim Ali
PDF
Show Abstract
The provision of an obturator after maxillary resection is affected
by the size and location of the surgical defect together with
the integrity of remaining tissues. The complete maxillectomy defect
creates problems with speech, swallowing, and esthetics. The
basic objectives of prosthodontic therapy will include preservation
of tissue, support, retention, and stability of the prosthesis for patients
requiring obturator therapy for such maxillectomy defects
[1,2]. Prosthetic rehabilitation of large maxillary defects with twopiece
obturators offers the possibility of adequate oral rehabilitation
by fabricating light weight prosthesis, which is easy to use.
The bulb covers the undercut areas of the defect enhancing the facial
contour and retention. It facilitates the restoration of the function
and esthetics. Thus, it adds to the quality of life. The retention
and stability of an obturator can be increased by weight reduction.
Lightening the obturator portion weight will rehabilitate a better
resonance to speech [2]. Maxillary resection affected the production
of different speech sounds.

Introduction
With the presenting of modern technology in our lives, everything
became so much easier, faster and the impossible turned to
possible in almost every field. This includes the dental field, as before
the invention of the great technologies; no one thought that
it’s possible to limit too many appointments in the dental office to
only one visit.
Digital dentistry is a term that means the use of computerbased
or digital components to carry the dental procedures rather
than using electrical or mechanical ones.

Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin and Microneedling - A Non Surgical Approach for
Gingival Augmentation: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Subasree Soundarajan and Sankari Malaippan
PDF
Show Abstract
Aim:The aim of this present study was to evaluate the effect of gingival thickness (GT) using injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF)
alone and with microneedling (MN) in individuals with thin periodontal phenotypes. Materials and Methods: In this split-mouth
study, 36 systemically healthy patients with thin periodontal phenotypes were randomly treated with MN + i-PRF and i-PRF. I-PRF
was injected on one side, and MN + i-PRF was performed on the other side of the same patient at 3 sessions with 10-day intervals.
Gingival thickness was assessed before the treatment and every month for 3months after the final injection. Results: In the inter
group comparisons, there was a statistically significant difference between two groups (i-PRF alone versus MN + i-PRF) only at 3
months follow up with a higher gingival thickness increase in favour of MN and i-PRF group of all mandibular teeth with a p value of
0.04. In the intra group comparisons, significant difference was seen in GT between baseline and all the follow up sessions with a p
value < 0.01 in both groups of all mandibular teeth, central incisor, lateral incisor and canine.
Conclusions: According to this study result, administration of i-PRF and MN + i-PRF to a group of thin phenotype patients increased
GT even without surgical periodontal procedures.. MN is believed to have a secondary impact on the rise in GT. Further research is
required for better understanding of this new technique and to overcome the limitations of the present study.

Skeletal Class III Malocclusion Treated with Clear Aligners and Remote Digital
Monitoring during the COVID-19 Pandemic. A Case Report
Linda Sangalli and Laura Laffranchi
PDF
Show Abstract
Class III malocclusion is a growth-related dentofacial deformity and one of the most challenging treatments for orthodontists. The
ideal management of skeletal Class III malocclusion in non-growing patients is an ortho-surgical approach, aimed at modifying the
skeletal deformity. However, not every patient is willing to undergo an orthognathic surgery. Hence, for selected cases, an orthodontic
camouflage with clear system, such as Invisalign®, may constitute a feasible treatment option.
The purpose of this case report is to present a 26-year-old Caucasian male with a severe skeletal Class III malocclusion and a negative overjet of -2.9 mm, who dismissed the ortho-surgical option in favor of an orthodontic camouflage with Invisalign®. The management of the case was further complicated by the residence of the patient outside the country and by the national lockdown secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused the interruption of in-office appointments. To overcome the unexpected obstacle, the retention phase was remotely monitoring with Dental Monitoring®, which allowed the clinician to monthly monitor the dental movements of the patient in the absence of chairside visits thought 3D analysis of pictures periodically uploaded by the patient himself. This case suggested that, in selected patients, an orthodontic camouflage with Invisalign® may represent a favorable treatment option, and digital technologies may facilitate a continuity of care, especially in unprecedent times like the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Comparison of Salivary pH Averages at Several Sites in the Oral Cavity According to Two Protocols for Polymerization of Prosthetic Bases in Polymethacrylate Resin
H Mechakra, M Bouziane and L Merdes
PDF
Show Abstract
Introduction: In the elderly, the insertion of a complete assistant prosthesis in the oral environment leads to a reduction in salivary secretion leading to oral pathologies, such as stomatitis.
Objective of the Study: The objective of this work was to look for variations in salivary pH according to the mode of polymerization, conventional (Protocol1) or by microwave cooking (Protocol2) of the prosthetic bases using the electrometric method at four sites of the oral cavity (inner side of the cheek, on and under the tongue, palate) and at different time intervals.
Materials and Methods: A single-blind randomized clinical trial Protocol 1 versus Protocol 2 was conducted in total bimaxillary edentulous patients divided into two homogeneous groups undergoing for the first a mode of polymerization in a Marie bath (Protocol 1) and the second a polymerization in the microwave (Protocol 2). The salivary pH was measured at the level of the palate, inner side of the cheeks and on, under the tongue before insertion, at d30, j90 after the insertion of the prosthesis.
Results: Our results showed differences in pH averages, from one anatomical site to another. The averages measured on the tongue and at the level of the palate, being a little higher with each measurement time; and this for both methods. Changes in pH were statistically significant for microwave cooking, after d90.
Conclusion: Our results indicate that the pH was not uniform in the oral cavity and that it varies depending on the measuring point. Thus, we were able to highlight a high palatine pH compared to other sites.

What You Might Have Forgotten About Suture Materials and Suture Techniques in Dentistry: A
Literature Review
Tayla Malherbe
PDF
Show Abstract
The main goal of suturing is to maintain haemostasis, allow healing by primary intention, provide support to the tissue until healing
have occurred, reduce postoperative pain and prevent bone exposure to prevent delayed healing and unnecessary resorption. The
ideal suture material should have good tensile strength, dimensional stability, lack of memory, knot security and sufficient flexibility
to avoid damage to the oral mucosa. The selection of an appropriate suture material and suture technique is integral to obtaining
an optimal outcome of healing. Each wound must be assessed individually and basic knowledge of the suture material and healing
characteristics of the tissue is essential in making the right decision as to which material and technique is most appropriate.

Modified R-Bridge for Comprehensive Aesthetic Rehabilitation of Missing
Anterior Tooth in a Young Patient- A Case Report

PDF
Show Abstract
Trauma due to avulsion accounts for 0.5 - 16% of all traumatic dental injuries to the permanent dentition and has a marked
influence on physical, functional and psychological maturation of the affected individual. The esthetic and functional rehabilitation of
a missing anterior tooth presents one of the greatest challenges that the dentist faces. While a number of treatment options, ranging
from removable partial dentures to implants are available, there are several limitations of these therapeutic options. These extend
from poor compliance for wear, disturbance in growth when they have to be used in young patients to the inability to withstand
heavy masticatory forces. Resin bonded bridges present a minimally invasive, functional, cost effective and time saving alternative for
replacement of a missing tooth. However, the disadvantages include weakening of the metal retainer by the perforations and wear of
the resin at the perforations. Therefore, modifications may be introduced in the design of the bridge to address these limitations and
reduce stress and abrasion thereby providing longevity to the prosthesis. This case report presents a clinical case of comprehensive
rehabilitation for the missing maxillary incisor in a young patient using the R-bridge with additional structural modifications.
