Whole body health conversations to have with patients during their next dental appointment

Amy Dayries-Ling

DMD, FAIHM, ADA Speaker, USA

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: Many dental patients exhibit oral signs that are telling of systemic health problems. A review of how closely mouth inflammation is related to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease and sleep apnea will be reviewed.  Current protocols from the United States on efficiently screening patients for systemic diseases and recognizing sleep issues during a dental appointment will be reviewed. This approach to dentistry can empower a patient to better understand how their life choices can lead them down a road to chronic disease and help them to develop strategies that can create better overall health and wellness. With much of the public struggling to finance preventative health care and having an education on what supports health, this lecture will strategize how the dental professional can positively create a significant impact on the overall health of their patient, which leads to longevity of dental health.

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT); A Complete understanding

Feras Habboub

Jordan University of Science and Technology, Jordan

Abstract

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth continues to be a challenging task for all clinical practitioners, due to various physiological alterations to their composition and remaining dentin macrostructure, endodontically treated teeth are usually left weak and friable post treatment

Therefore, it is acceptable that these teeth require exceptional management protocols to restore them to standardized form function and aesthetics.

There are different techniques, protocols, theories and materials that are applied in such cases, but careful clinical and radiographic evaluation

is always required in the first instance in order to achieve a minimally invasive preparation with maximal tissue preservation which is considered the gold standard in modern dentistry.

This lecture discusses preoperative assessment of ETT and a variety of treatment options being implemented.

Third molar-optional tooth

Maria Concepcion Parrenas

University of the East, Philippines


There is always a nagging question which heightens my curiosity on the appropriate removal of an impacted third molar in this specific situation:


What if you have a carious or beyond-repair second molar or second bicuspid? Will you try to heroically upright the mesially or horizontally impacted third molars?

Orthodontic uprighting technique for effective treatment of impacted third molars, exposed or unexposed, is described. When used with TADS along with Australian wire, .020 is the other technique that I used. The other one is with several wire mechanics without using TADS but with the utilization of some uprighting techniques that are simple and effective in positioning impacted third molars.

Uprighting of mesially tilted molars is the recommended treatment and should be done as soon as possible. If not properly corrected, mesially impacted molars may lead complications such as elongation of opposing teeth, periodontal problems on the medial side of the affected teeth, caries in the unerupted molars, temporomandibular disorders and poor oral hygiene. Some clinical procedures have been used to upright third molar are mentioned above. Is it really worth working to leave the third molar be uprighted or have it surgically removed? 

Maintaining a Health Mouth

What does the health of your mouth have to do with your overall health? 

Your mouth is a window into what's going on in the rest of your body. Experts suggest that oral symptoms can help detect more than 90% of all systemic diseases - a disease that affects or pertains to your entire body.

Taking good care of your mouth, teeth and gums should be a priority, as they are the first point of contact for the impact you are going to make on the world. While a healthy mouth helps you ward off medical disorders, an unhealthy mouth, especially if you have gum disease, may increase your risk of serious health problems. Some of the risks you face include:

Cardiovascular disease: Bacteria can travel from your mouth, through your bloodstream, to the arteries in the heart, causing atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). This leads to an increased risk of heart attack or stroke. If you want to put your heart into everything you do, you need it to stay healthy.

Diabetes: It’s a vicious circle, where diabetes makes you more prone to gum disease, and serious gum disease contributes to diabetes as it affects blood glucose control. This two-way link should be a wake-up call to take care of your teeth, given the rising incidence of diabetes in the region.

Lung infections: Periodontal disease basically means you have more bacteria breeding in your mouth, and are therefore more likely to inhale germs, leading to lung infections like pneumonia.

Tongue health: Did you know that your tongue is actually covered in tiny bumps, called papillae. This surface can harbour a lot of bacteria, more than in the rest of your mouth, which can lead, not only to bad breath, but can affect your sense of taste. Overgrowth of bacteria can turn your tongue yellow, white, or even black and hairy-looking.

Minimising risks

An able body can help you stay adventurous. In order to take life head on you need to:

• Brush and floss your teeth daily, following it up with a swish of antiseptic mouthwash.

• Visit your dental professional regularly to have your mouth examined.

• Maintain a healthy diet and limit between-meal snacks.

Poor dental care can have consequences far beyond a simple toothache or some unsightly stains that affect your appearance. Good dental health provides the assurance you need to face the world head-on, confident in the knowledge that you are healthy, inside and out.

Simvastatin chitosan gel: A new approach for extraction socket healing and alveolar bone preservation

Youmna M Sherif 
Alexandria University, Egypt 

Healing of the extraction socket has been the area of concern of many studies over the past years, due to the occurrence of post extraction bone resorption and therefore, in many cases, the failure of implant placement, fixed or removable prosthesis. There have been many studies demonstrating the bone-promoting effect of simvastatin local application in animal models. Simvastatin in combination with chitosan is shown to increase bone volume, bone formation rate, and bone compressive strength along with inhibiting the osteoclastic activity, thus inhibiting alveolar bone resorption. The first experimental evidence in an animal model of the osteo-modulador effect of statins was reported by Mundy et al who demonstrated that treatment with simvastatin resulted in a significant increase in the rates and bone formation markers, and that the effect of statins were comparable to that induced by treatment with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and fibroblast growth factor, which are known stimulants of bone metabolism. Thus, this study aims at examining the influence of simvastatin chitosan gel on bone healing in extraction socket of first molar in rat mandibles and developing an injectable affordable material that preserves the alveolar bone architecture by enhancing bone regeneration and preventing bone resorption, where the specimens were processed for scanning electron microscopy and detection of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Fibronectin immunohistochemically.

Low level laser therapy to reduce pain and treatment times in orthodontics

Julio Rodriguez Lepage

Teaching Medical Center La Trinidad ,Venezuela

The fundamental aspect that drives this work is the importance of pain reduction and work times during orthodontic treatment. Almost in its entirety the patient who attends consultation does so primarily for an aesthetic demand and later for a functional demand. This is how perhaps few professionals in our specialty have given the necessary importance to pain management and treatment times. However, information from surveys applied to patients from different ethnic groups and social levels is handled in locations in the US, France and Spain, finding that 60% of the universe of potential orthodontic patients refers fear of starting treatment because they believe that this generates PAIN. We cannot ignore the clinical circumstances that generate a high level of sensitivity and pain, among these the most important: the beginning of the use of arches, bands and the mechanics of closing spaces.

This work seeks to demonstrate the various properties of the laser beam, specifically the low power diode laser (LLLT), evidencing its importance and usefulness in the field of current dentistry. The low-intensity radiation and its biomodulatory capacity is still under study. Specifically, in these tests, we sought to delve into the subject of the response of periodontal fibers, the nervous vascular bundle and support bone, thus increasing irrigation by accelerating the apposition-resorption process. We hope to open the way to future deepening in the increase of the adaptive response of periodontal tissue to orthodontic forces.

Materials and methods​. In principle an informed consent was made for the patient, making clear the benefits of the same and that this does not have any negative effect on their tissues or their systemic state. The laser application was made during the installation period of the fixed appliances to the group of selected patients (30 patients). The application of the laser was designed to a selected hemiarcade and to the other half to perform an application simulation to evaluate the placebo response. The results were observed and information gathered to be exposed in the work. The information collected guided us to evaluate the study data to conform to the characteristics of low-power laser therapy and its possible use in the different phases of treatment. The sample size was 30 people in ages between 20 and 40 years. Both hemiarchies to irradiate must have equal conditions for therapy. The group had 15 men and 15 women. The Caucasian race was chosen since they present a lower pain threshold than males and females of Asian and African origin.

The Exclusion Criteria. ​Normal psychological state, healthy systemic state (there should be no presence of Horner's syndrome or patients in terminal state); patients should not be consuming drugs such as analgesics, opiates, iontophoresis treatment, bisphosphonate intake or corticosteroids. Most of the studies consulted maintained that size or body weight do not influence the perception of the stimulus.

Results​.8 and a half month we were performing the tests with the low-level laser device, in this period it was possible to determine after a previous stage of planning and call of the patients that the previous psychological evaluation not only served to reduce

the levels of apprehension, but we also obtained a similar response in all patients in relation to treatment time and painful sensation. Of the 30 patients evaluated, it was determined that after the installation of the brackets and the application of the laser, the stage of greatest discomfort occurred in 20 patients between the 1st to the 4th hour and in 10 in all the first 24 hours. 25 of 30 patients evaluated responded after the applications that the treatment regardless of the phase had been reduced. Of the 20 patients completed during the study period in 18 of them, the orthodontic treatment was reduced from 2 years to 8 months.
