Chronobiologically modulated chemotherapy in oral cancer

Akhilanand Chaurasia

King Georgeʼs Medical University, India

Chronobiology is the study of the temporal relationships of biologic phenomena. All living things evolved in a milieu characterized by constant change based upon the cyclic relationships of the sun, earth, and moon. The circadian periodicity is genetically retained by all living organisms. Circadian organization is such a basic property of life that derangements may have lethal consequences. Mammalian circadian rhythms result from a complex organization involving molecular clocks within nearly all “normal” cells and a dedicated neuroanatomical system which coordinates the so-called “peripheral oscillators.” The core of the central clock system is constituted by the suprachiasmatic nuclei that are located on the floor of the hypothalamus. This circadian organization is responsible for predictable changes in the tolerability and efficacy of anticancer agents The circadian rhythm dependent chemotherapy provides indirect evidence for time-dependent variability of the response of the human and murine to anticancer drugs. Doxorubicin, cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil and FUDR have been studied in oral cancer for their circadian pharmacodynamics and toxicology. The outcome of these studies clearly concluded that circadian dependent administration of anticancer drugs reduces drug toxicity and allows substantial increase in the maximally tolerated dose which results in better treatment efficacy and greater comfort for oral cancer patients. Thus chronobiologically modulated chemotherapy hold promising results in treatment of oral cancer and other cancer with increased efficacy and decreased toxicity. In coming years the future of cancer treatment lies in circadian rhythm dependent chemotherapy.

Utility of digital volume tomography in maxillofacial trauma Anuraag B Choudhary

VSPM Dental College, India

Purpose: To assess the diagnostic quality of images generated using the newly developed digital volume tomography (DVT) system and comparing them with conventional images from patients with maxillofacial trauma.

Materials and Methods: The study population included 22 male patients aged 18 to 60 years with a history of maxillofacial trauma. Each patient had undergone conventional radiographic and DVT examinations to analyze the number of fracture lines in the jaws and to compare the images for their diagnostic quality by an oral radiologist and a general radiologist using the chi-square test.

Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the number of fracture lines evaluated on the conventional radiographs and on DVT, especially for condylar head (7) and the midface (4.41 to 4.57), zygomaticomaxillary complex and Le Fort fractures, respectively.

Conclusions: The detection of fracture lines and visualization within the mandibular-maxillary area using DVT was superior to using conventional radiographs.

Effect of smoking on post-operative healing following minor oral surgical procedures

Bushra Alsolami and Alaa Sanari

King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah

Introduction: Proper care of the mouth following tooth extractions can reduce complications and expedite the healing process. In contrast, smoking negatively affects the healing process and increase the chance of developing an infection. This is especially true if a patient smokes soon after surgery.

Objectives: To compare post-extraction symptoms (pain, bleeding, swelling, trismus and infection) between smokers and nonsmokers at day 1, 2, 7, and 21 following extraction.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted recruiting patients undergoing minor oral surgical procedures at King Abdulaziz University Faculty of Dentistry (KAUFD) and following them at day 1, 2, 7, and 21 after extraction. Data collection form included, first; patient`s demographics, medical history, smoking status, type and frequency of smoking, second; Compliance with postoperative instructions, third; Post-operative evaluation included: Pain using visual analogue scale (0-10), Bleeding (no, <1hr, 1-2hrs, >2hrs, >3hrs), Swelling (no, mild, moderate, severe), Trismus and Infection. Follow-up of the patient was performed.

Results: A total of 85 patients were included in this study, 64% were females and 31% were smokers. Cigarettes was the most frequent type of smoking (88.5%), followed by Shisha 3.8%. 96.2% of smokers reported smoking after extraction. Smokers were more likely to be male (p<0.0001), to be of older age group (p =0.001), and to declare not following post-operative instructions (p<0.0001). On the 1st post-operative day, postoperative evaluation comparing smokers to non-smokers showed no statistically significant differences in swelling, trismus and infection. However, bleeding and smoking were found to be significantly associated (p=0.009). On the 2nd post-operative day, only swelling was found to be significantly different between smokers and non-smokers (p=0.04). By the 7th and 21st post-operative days, no differences in post-operative complications was found.

Conclusion: The Initial postoperative complications may differ between smokers and non-smokers, however eventually these differences seem to fade with time.

Get up your nerve to deal with the mandibular nerve

Charbel Allam

St Joseph University School, Lebanon

Educational Objectives:

The paresthesias of the inferior dental nerve consists of a complication that can occur after performing various dental procedures such as cystectomies, extraction of impacted teeth, apicoectomies, endodontic treatments, local anesthetic deposition, preprosthetic or implantologic surgery. The possible mechanisms of nervous lesions are mechanical, chemical and thermal. Mechanical injury includes compression, stretching, partial or total resection. This could be done during surgical procedure to laterally reposition the mandibular nerve in preparation for placement of implants or extraction of the lower third molar or during endodontic surgery to take off overfilling materials from the mandibular canal. Chemical trauma can be due to certain toxic components of the endodontic filling materials and irrigating solutions. Thermal injury is a consequence of bone overheating during the execution of surgical techniques. We present different clinical cases of paresthesia of the inferior dental nerve to explain the etiology and the treatment of this complication step by step.

3 Main Points:
At conclusion, participants should be able to:

_perform how totreat the complication thatcanoccur
_perform how to manipulate the inferior dental nerve.
_perform how to increase the rate of success of the surgical act.

Biomimetic oral appliance therapy as a possible solution for obstructive sleep apnea

Dave Singh and Mark Kraver

BioModeling Solutions, USA

Various modalities are available for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), including: continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), surgical interventions, and mandibular advancement devices (MADs). A 54 year old male reported to our office with symptoms of daytime sleepiness. Screening for OSA, he scored 15 on an Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS). This screening was followed by a home sleep study (HST), which demonstrated an AHI of 27hr-1 with 13% of total sleep time in REM, and a mean oxygen desaturation nadir (SpO2) of 86%. Craniofacial and intra-oral examination revealed he had extensive, bilateral torus mandibularis with an intermolar maxillary bone width of 34mm. Therefore, treatment with biomimetic oral appliance therapy (BOAT) was discussed. BOAT differs from MADs in that it consists of simultaneous, non-surgical, midfacial redevelopment in combination with mandibular repositioning. After obtaining informed consent, the patient elected to undergo surgical reduction of the mandibular tori followed by BOAT, since these devices are FDA-approved. After 6 months of BOAT, he scored 2 on a follow up ESS. On intra-oral examination, it was found the intermolar bone width had increased to 36mm. Therefore, another HST was performed with no device in the mouth while sleeping, which demonstrated the AHI fell to 5. 3hr-1hr; and he spent 27% of sleep time in REM sleep, with a mean SpO2 of 93% without any appliances in the mouth. These findings suggest that BOAT may represent a potential cure for OSA. However, long term follow-up is warranted to ensure that the current sleep quality is maintained.

Clinical considerations of angled implants

Haitham Agha

University of Missouri, USA

Placement of an osseointegrated implant in an axial direction relative to the tooth it is replacing has historically been a basic goal of implant placement. However, angled implant placement does have its indications in prosthodontics. Although an angled implant placement may avoid or reduce the need for bone grafts, it may create prosthodontic challenges. A review of the angled implant concept and some clinical cases that received angled implants will be reviewed, and their management discussed.

Effectiveness of Chinese acupuncture on pain relief following surgical removal of impacted third molars: A self-controlled clinical trial

Joul Kassis

Damascus University, Syria

Introduction: The extraction of the third molar commonly produces severe pain, swelling, and functional disability. The most common treatment for postoperative pain is nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Unfortunately, these medications are associated with systematic side effects.

Acupuncture as a physical therapy may provide effective pain relief without these side effects.

Aim: This research is a self-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Chinese acupuncture treatment in pain relief following the surgical extraction of impacted third molars.

Materials and Methods: Acupuncture treatment was applied to 50 patients for 20 min immediately fol-lowing surgical extraction of all impacted third molars on the left side of all patients.

Pain assessment was performed using a standardized questionnaire that contained information about the name and age of the patient, numbering and classification of the impacted tooth, timing and duration of the surgical operation, and a table with the visual analogue scale (VAS) for measuring pain intensity.

The pain intensity was measured several times. The measurement was started by the author himself who did the first two measurements. The patient was then asked to continue evaluating the pain intensity for the following periods: after 6 and 12 h and on the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh days.

Results: Pain intensity values were less for the acupuncture group for all studied periods.

Conclusion: Acupuncture treatment following surgical extraction of impacted third molars could reduce postoperative pain values.

The effect of implant collar design and developments over the years on soft tissue and bone level - a systematic review

Klenise Paranhos

New York University College of Dentistry, USA

Purpose: This systematic review compares the effect ofrough-surfaced and machined implant necks on marginal bone loss in adult patients.

Materials and Methods: An onlinesearch was assembled with a combination of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH terms) and free-text words of the literature published up to February of 2016, to identify studies that compared modifications in the implant neck area and measured marginal alterations.

Results: The primary search yielded 1,110 significant titles. After filtering, data extraction and quality assessment, eighteen full text studies were selected and divided according to the follow-up at one year, three years and five or more years.

Conclusion: In short-term cases, defined as ≤ 1 year follow-up, rough neck implant surfaces showed better marginal bone preservation than smooth neck implant surfaces However, there was no difference between implant designs in longer-term studies, defined as ≥ 3ys follow-up. These data do not suggest a long-term advantage to the use of either implant design.

Effect of surgical mandibular setback on pharyngeal airway

Miral Awdah

Saad Specialist Hospital, Saudi Arabia

Background: Using of jaw osteotomies in treatment of maxillofacial deformities has an effect on pharyngeal airway space as well as facial appearance.

Aim of Study: The purpose of this study was evaluation the effect of mandibular setback surgery on sagittal dimension of upper and lower pharyngeal airway and hyoid bone position.

Patients and Methods: 32 patients (16 males and 16 females) with average age 23.59 years (range 17 to 47 years) who suffered from skeletal class III malocclusion were examined prospectively. All patients underwent mandibular setback surgery only. The average of mandibular setback was 6.97 mm (range 3 to 13 mm). 16 patients received vertical ramus osteotomy (VRO) versus 16 patients bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). Rigid internal fixation was used with lag titanium screws. Lateral cephalometric analysis was performed preoperatively, 3 months and 1 year postoperatively with particular attention to pharyngeal airway and hyoid bone changes.

Results: The lateral cephalometric demonestrated that the surgical mandibular setback significantly decrease upper and lower pharyngeal airway width (12.54±5.46% and 13.97±5.89% respectively), and hyoid bone moved inferoposteriorly 3 months after surgery (P<0.05). After 1 year of surgery the decrease of upper and lower pharyngeal airway became less (7.83±6.39% and 8.46±5.95% respectively) but still significantly narrower compared with its presurgical position, and hyoid bone relapsed superoanteriorly close to its original position (P<0.05). Analysis revealed a statistically significant correlation between decrease in pharyngeal airway and amount of mandibular setback (r > 0.70) without significant differences between the two techniques.

Conclusion: Careful airway analysis should be performed, particularly in correction with large anteroposterior discrepancies.

Keywords: Mandibular setback, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, vertical ramus osteotomy, pharyngeal airway, hyoid bone.

Introduction: In this study One Shape file (OS) which was already designed as a shaping file was compared to R-Endo file (RE) in retreatment of endodontically treated teeth in terms of time required for completion of retreatment procedure and amount of remaining gutta-percha on root canal dentin.

Methods: Sixty mandibular mesio-buccal canals with angles of curvature between 15 and 45 degrees were prepared using Protaper Universal rotary files then obturated using gutta-percha and AH-Plus sealer. Canals were then divided equally into 2 groups according to the retreatment system. Time required to reach the full working length (T1) and for complete removal of gutta-percha (T2) were measured during retreatment procedure using a digital stopwatch. Also the amount of remaining gutta-percha on the root canal dentin was measured using Stereomicroscopic images analyzed by Image J software.

Results: OS group recorded statistically significant less time required for retreatment and less amount of remaining gutta-percha than RE group. As for the effect of Retreatment system on the percentage of remaining filling material regardless of canal curvature and Canal third:

There was statistically significant differencebetween (R-Endo) (47.61 ± 7.27) and (One Shape) (35.01 ± 5.77) where (p<0.0001). The lowest mean percentage of remaining filling material was shown in (One Shape) (35.01 ± 5.77). As for the effect of retreatment system on time required for retreatment regardless of canal curvature and (T1 and T2):

There was statistically significant differencebetween (R-Endo) (46.41 ±2.86) and (One Shape) (35.12 ±6.57) where (p=0.007). The lowest mean time was shown in (One Shape) (35.12 ±6.57).

Conclusion: OS system showed less time required for retreatment and less amount of remaining gutta-percha on the root canal dentin when compared and analyzed by Image J software.

King Saud University, Saudi Arabia

Objectives: To compare the enamel demineralization around the two precoated adhesive bracket systems, APC Flash-Free and APC PLUS, in clinical settings.

Material and Method: This prospective experimental in-vivo study includes 40 premolar teeth, which are planned for extraction due to orthodontic purposes. They were divided into two groups (Group A; n=20 Bonded with APC Flash Free ceramic bracket and group B; n=20 Bonded with APC Plus ceramic bracket). Then, the teeth were extracted, sectioned, and examined under the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to evaluate the amount of demineralization from the enamel surface to the deepest point.

Results: findings revealed that the mean values of demineralization under SEM were significantly higher in APC Plus compared to APC Flash Free (149.95 μm vs. 112.96 μm, respectively) (P< 0.05). The difference between the two systems was mainly found in the middle part of the facial surfaces, while there were no differences between the two systems in the proximal parts.

Conclusion: The enamel demineralization around APC Flash free adhesive bracket system was significantly less than that of APC plus Adhesive bracket system.

Multidisciplinary approach the ultimate result

Rami Al Fodeh

Dental school-Jordan University of Science and Technology, Jordan

The increasing demand for esthetic restorations can be met with any one of the various all-ceramic systems currently available, because absence of metal allows light transmission through the restoration and permits a close match to the natural dentition. However, the esthetic value of a cosmetic restoration may be compromised by other factors contributing to the composition of a pleasing smile, such as amount of gingival display, gingival architecture, clinical crown dimensions, and tooth position. It is often necessary for many dental disciplines, including prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, and orthodontics, to interact in the planning and treatment of patients who required complex treatment. In such instances, an interdisciplinary approach is necessary to evaluate, diagnose, and resolve esthetic problems using a combination of orthodontic, periodontic, and prosthodontic treatments. When patient treatment requires a comprehensive approach, communication among the disciplines is critical in achieving improved esthetic outcomes. This presentation describes a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients required complex multispecialty participation to optimize the final result.

Faster, easier, safer rotary endodontics!!! The science of simplicity

Reham Hassan

University of Minia, Egypt

There are many factors that serve to influence which endodontic mechanical file system or hybrid technique is selected to prepare any given canal. Altruistically, the most important factor should be the desire to produce a predictably successful shaping result. Clinically, the shaping experience is measured by safety, cutting efficiency, and the fewest number of files required to minimally or fully prepare a root canal. Certainly, the cost associated with preparing any given canal is a factor that is influenced by the market, and the clinical and business practice models. Regardless of the preparation philosophy, methods should be utilized that promote 3-D disinfection, and filling root canal systems.

Sahaj Dental Care & Academy, India

Immediate implant placement and provisional restoration serve to provide shorter treatment time than alternative protocols do and are intended to preserve alveolar bone as well as to develop and preserve the adjacent soft tissue architecture viz., papilla, marginal gingiva while maintaining the zenith.. Success and survival rates for immediately placed implants are comparable to those for early and delayed placement implants. In the anterior esthetic zone, great care and planning must precede immediate implant placement. With respect to esthetics, preservation of crestal bone and natural-looking soft-tissue architecture are essential. Considerations include implant design, the implant-abutment interface, the patientʼs biotype, the buccal bone plate, crestal bone position, positioning of implant and patientʼs expectation.

Pros and cons of the free-hand technique of dental implant surgery

Tarek El Sayed Mohamed Konbar

Dental 8 Clinics, Kuwait

The primary technique used in the dental implant surgery with a success rate of over 90% was the free-hand technique that was proved to be easier, quicker and less costly compared with the surgical guided technique that is more costly, time consuming and needs special equipment as the (CBCT )cone- beam Computerized tomography and (CAD_CAM )computer-assisted design and computer assisted manufacture and the soft wares it is mainly a flapless- technique. For a single implant placement, the guided surgery technique will be more demanding and even not necessary and more costly on the otherhand, the free-hand technique is more suitable for a single implant placement. The availability of irrigation during surgery and more visibility of bone both from the labial and palatal side in the free-hand technique added to the pros of this technique especially if we need to augment the alveolar ridge simultaneously with implant placement in addition to the enucleation of any associated pathology in the proposed site of implant placement, hence a more definitive diagnosis and a better evaluation of the bone quality and quatity. The possibility of little more postoperative pain and discomfort and alveolar bone loss due to flap elevation will be the cons of this technique with the presentation of some cases of implant surgery done by the free-hand technique i will emphasize the pros and cons of this technique and how to improve the outcome of this technique
