Abstract:

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), which limits muscle function, has a significant impact on quality of life, may

present as a pain that often limits function and sometimes is accompanied by a decrease in the opening of the mouth, pain,

buccal locking: Closed or opening. The intrauterine device (IUD) with levonorgestrel, is used in birth control, heavy menstrual

periods and to prevent excessive build-up of the lining of the uterus in estrogen replacement therapy with levonorgestrel

hormone, leads to a hormonal decompensating, with serious consequences for women, such as: increased risk of Deep Venous

Thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, increased risk of myocardial infarction and other side effects. Steroid hormones

perform various functions throughout the body as well as the stomatognathic system, contributing to the improvement of pain

and inflammation. Rebalancing them allows you to return the proper physiology to the patient. Studies show that millions

of women in the world use contraceptive method with progestogen hormones, one of them is the intrauterine device with

levonorgestrel, in which they present a significant increase of the risk in all its organism, by its systemic action due to the

inhibition of hypothalamus-pituitary axis and ovary, as action maintains the levels of LH (Luteinizanate hormone) and FSH:

Follicle Stimulating Hormone. The new proposed protocol for TMJ pain and mobility, which consisted in the removal of Diu

Mirena and replacement of steroidal nanoemulsion hormones with progesterone, testosterone and vitamin D3, proved to be

effective, as it significantly restored serum levels of patients.

Abstract:

The concept of a booster is nothing more than that some active function as an "enhancer", therefore a concept applied to

potentiate a treatment. The selected material was the solution of hyaluronic acid from the next pharmacy composed of

several substances that will act in the process of improving the quality of the skin. The application protocol is the use of comfort

in which is a powerful alternative to solve problems related to the use of injections (needleless injection devices). They allow

the administration of drugs, such as anesthetics to the skin, non-invasively, through high-speed jets. The anesthetic used was

articaine, the selected points of analgesia supra and infraorbital and the region of mentonian. The product is delivered by

another device called dermashot, a computerized injection system that delivers it at the desired speed and quantity.

Biography:

The lips are anatomical units of extreme importance in orofacial aesthetics; its characteristics and dimensions, when framed

in golden proportion, provide connotations of youth, sensuality and beauty. Like the skin, the lips are subject to extrinsic

and intrinsic factors which are responsible for aging over the years: The lips narrow lose volume, definition and contour,

resulting in visible signs. In addition to the appearance of aging, anatomical features that differ from the beauty pattern such

as narrow, disproportionate lips, with present mentholabial grooves, downward-facing labial commissures, with no contours

boundary, filter and bow of the cupid, impair the harmony of the face and make the patient look older. By using the exclusive

Bianconsini Lips Filler Protocol technique, it is possible to reestablish and/or sculpt these labial features and adjacent regions

respecting the naturality of these anatomical regions through patients individual anatomical study, establishing the correct

indications of each case and the upper lip volume respecting the individual anatomy of each tuber, well defined contours in

strategically delimited areas giving a three-dimensional and natural effect, greater volume in the center of the lips and smaller

near the commissures, volume of the lower lip and its tubers separated by a central groove present, where the central tuber of

the upper lip should lodge, lip corners facing upwards, filter and bow of the cupid well delimited in order to harmonize the

patients face, thus ensuring a more natural and youthful appearance.

Abstract:

Aim: To compare the canal centering ability, apical transportation & remaining dentin thickness of One Shape & Wave One system in

curved root canal using CBCT.

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of two rotary systems in maintaining original root canal anatomy in curved root canals.

Introduction: Successful root canal therapy depends on effective debridement of the root canal by eliminating debris & microorganisms

and shaping of the root canal system without deviating from the original anatomy. Ideally, during root canal preparation, the instruments

should always conform to and retain the original shape of the canal. The ability to keep the instruments centered is crucial in curved canals

and to deliver an accurate enlargement to the root canal without any unnecessary weakening to the root structure. When curvatures are

present, preparation becomes more difficult & there is a tendency for all preparation techniques to divert the prepared canal away from

the original axis. Endodontic mishaps are unfortunate occurrences that can occur during root canal treatment which includes ledging,

zipping, blockage, strip perforations & canal transportations. Centering is defined as the ability of the instrument to stay centered in the

canal. Factors that affect canal centering ability are the design of the instrument which includes cross-section, taper, tip size & flexibility.

Canal transportation is one of the most common mishaps during the instrumentation of curved root canals. When Transportation occurs,

it has two components - direction and deviation. The direction is an excessive dentine removal in a single direction of the main tooth

axis of the canal. The deviation is an undesirable departure from the original canal path, which is the distance in millimeters from the pre

and posts instrumented canal as a function of file action. According to the Glossary of Endodontic Terms of the American Association of

Endodontists in 2003 canal transportation is defined as: “The removal of canal structure on the outside curve in the apical half of the canal

due to the tendency of files to restore themselves their original linear shape during canal preparation”. Transportation in the apical third of

the root canal promotes the harboring of debris and residual microorganisms as a result of insufficient cleaning of the root canals & overreduction

of sound dentin & destruction of the integrity of the root. The etiology associated with an increased risk of canal transportation

include insufficiently designed access cavities, use of inflexible instruments, instrumentation technique, tip design, insufficient irrigation

during mechanical enlargement, unseen canal curvatures in two dimensional radiography, skill of operator & degree and radius of a root

canal curvature both induce a stress on the instruments.7,8,9,10 Radial lands support an edge of the cutting angle & help to distribute

the pressure of the blades more uniformly around the circumference of a curved canal and thus reduces apical transportation. The more

severely curved and the shorter the radius of curvature, the greater the risk of transportation. Deviation of the original trajectory of the

canal may result in damage of the apical foramen and loss of an apical stop. As a consequence, this will lead to extrusion of debris, irrigants,

or filling materials and subsequently An irritation of the periapical tissue. Recently, Wave One and One Shape represent single NiTi file

systems which are made of a special NiTi-alloy called M-Wire that is created by an innovative thermal-treatment process. one shape

(Micro-Mega, Besancon, France) is to be used in full continuous rotation whereas WaveOne NiTi single-file system has been introduced

by Dentsply. The system is designed to be used with a reciprocating motion motor. The benefits of this M-Wire NiTi have increased

flexibility and improved resistance to cyclic fatigue. Thus, it is important to assess the canal centering ability of newly introduced single

file systems before they can be considered a viable replacement of full-sequence rotary file systems. In the past, methods for assessment of

canal transportation, RDT & centering ability included radiographic method, serial sectioning technique, photographic assessment, SEM

& computer manipulation technique. The above-mentioned methods were invasive in nature and accurate repositioning of pre and post

instrumented specimens is difficult and there is a disadvantage of loss of specimen, whereas radiographs provide the 2-dimensional image

of 3- dimensional object. Recently, a non-destructive technology has been advocated for pre and post instrumentation evaluation of canal

anatomy. CBCT utilizes a cone-shaped x-ray beam and an area detector that captures a cylindrical volume of data in one acquisition &

also used in the analysis of the root canal area and parameters such as canal transportation, centering ratio and the amount of root dentin

removed by endodontic instruments. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the canal transportation, centering

ability and RDT after instrumentation with One Shape & Waveone rotary system by using CBCT.

Conclusion: Within the limits of this present study, it was found that Wave One single reciprocation file has less canal transportation and

better centering ability & respects original canal anatomy better than one shape.

Dr. Ahmed is serving as a lecturer at Orthodontic Department, Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt

Abstract:

Introduction: The aim of this systematic review was to compare the effectiveness of temporary anchorage devices (TADs)

and conventional segmented arches (CSA) during incisor intrusion in adult patients with a deep bite and their adverse effects.

Methods: Four electronic databases were searched. In addition, articles were manually searched for using the reference lists

of relevant articles, grey literature and peer-reviewed orthodontic journals. Data from the retrieved articles were selected and

evaluated by two independent reviewers using a new systematic review software program, DistillerSR. A meta-analysis of raw

mean differences was performed.

Results: Initially, we retrieved 9600 articles, but the selection process resulted in 6 articles. The included studies ranged from

low to high in quality. Meta-analysis showed that TADs enabled 0.78 mm more upper incisor intrusion than the conventional

method (95% CI=0.28 to 1.29). There was no significant anchorage loss difference in the CSA group compared to the TAD

group (MD -3.68; 95% CI -7.41 to 0.05). Also, a significant molar tipping of 1.03 degrees was observed in the CSA group

(P=0.008) compared to the TAD group (MD -1.03; 95% CI -1.79 to -0.27).

Conclusions: The results of this meta-analysis showed that patients receiving TADs had 0.78 mm greater upper incisor

intrusion than patients receiving the conventional treatment. This was statistically significant but not clinically relevant. No

clinical difference was found between TADs and the conventional method of anchorage loss.

Abstract:

Oral cancer is a significant cause of public health concern in both developing and developed nations. Oral cancer is a widely

prevalent cancer type in developing countries and although it is less prevalent in developed western countries in recent

times a change in trend has been observed due to changes in lifestyle. Global estimates reveal that the incidence of oral cancer

varies from 1 to 10 cases per 100,000 people in most countries. Even though revolutionary changes have taken place in early

diagnosis and treatment planning in the last decade but there is any significant improvement in the five-year survival rate. For

control of oral cancer, an idea of the coverage of the same in the various regions is necessary. A changing trend in incidence and

prevalence of oral cancer has also been observed with more women and youngsters being affected by oral cancer. The present

paper is aimed to discuss the epidemiological situation and coverage of oral cancer in various regions to facilitate the health

policy makers in planning and implementing an effective prevention and control programme for oral cancer with emphasis on

recent data and study the trends in oral cancer globally.

Abstract:

The human body is comprised of complex systems, which are interconnected with each other. Because of the way, the

human body is made, one organ of the body can have an impact on other organs of it. Oral health affects people physically

and psychologically and influences how they grow, enjoy life, look, speak, chew, taste food and socialize, as well as their feelings

of social well-being. The oral hygiene measures related to professional level, level of education and periodontal maintenance.

Some studies report that oral health has an impact on food choice and on the intake of key nutrients, causing various nutritional

problems. Recent researches on oral and general health have shown a link between the two. With more than 90% of systemic

diseases having oral symptoms. These symptoms can include swollen gums, sores, ulcers, dry mouth and more. The following

diseases are an example of a systemic disease which has symptoms expressed in the mouth like diabetes, leukemia, oral cancer,

pancreatic cancer, heart disease and kidney disease. Research has also shown that poor dental hygiene and gum disease can

directly increase the risk of heart disease, heart attack, diabetes, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis and even stroke. Women with

poor dental health have also shown higher rates of preterm and low birth weight children. To prevent these health issues,

practicing good oral hygiene is very important. People at an early age should get into good practices. Regular dental visits,

brushing regularly, flossing and watching what they eat are all important steps in preventing dental diseases and keeping them

in good health.

Biography:

Sneha Shah completed her DMD at the age of 26 years from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine graduating in the top quarter of her class. During an internship

in oral and maxillofacial surgery at St Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson, NJ, she was involved in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous patients

who developed oral squamous cell carcinoma in the setting of a longstanding history of betel nut chewing. She is currently in her first year of OMFS residency and

maintains an interest in the demographics and management of oral cancer.

Abstract:

According to the NYU Center for the study of Asian American Health, the New York City Metropolitan area is home to the

largest concentration of South Asians in the United States. The chewing of “betel nut” and related products is common

to these immigrants from countries including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and the Maldives among

others. Betel quid and its constituent areca nut are known risk factors for many oral and esophageal cancers. However, the

lack of awareness regarding adverse effects of the areca nut among its users, limited understanding of its cultural role among

healthcare providers and lack of global policy for control of the substance has resulted in what has been termed a global public

health emergency. Within a six-month period from October 2017 to March 2018, three cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma

among the South Asian immigrant population have been diagnosed at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson, NJ and

treated using wide local excision and reconstructive flap surgery. In each case, the patient admitted to a history of ten or more

years of betel nut chewing. Considering these cases, the purpose of this article is to report on the incidence of oral squamous

cell carcinoma in the greater New York and New Jersey area secondary to betel nut use.

Abstract:

Dental caries is the most common chronic infectious disease in children affecting both sexes. It is multifactorial in

origin that is influenced by biomedical factors (diet, microorganism and tooth) and the social determinants of health.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between dental caries and gender, body mass index (BMI) and

socioeconomic status (SES) in Saudi children aged 2-12-year-old seen in Jeddah Speciality Dental Center. The study included

59 caries-free children and 118 children with caries experience. Personal data and family SES were assessed by a questionnaire.

Children were examined for caries according to WHO criteria. Based on the age and sex-specific Centre for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC) 2000 growth charts, the weight status of the children were categorized by the BMI percentile into 4

groups: underweight (< 5th percentile), normal weight (5th to < 85th percentile), overweight (85th to < 95th percentile) and

obese (≥ 95th percentile). BMI percentile values for the children was generated using a web-based calculator on a CDC website

(http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx)5. Of 177 participated children, 47% (n=84) were males. The mean age of

children was 5.8 years. Chi-square test showed that there is no association between caries status and gender and BMI groups,

p-value = 0.74 and 0.87, respectively. However, the significant association between dental caries and lower family monthly

income was observed with p-value < 0.001. Additionally, caries experience was also associated with lower parental educational

level (p-value ≤ 0.001). No significant associations of dental caries were found with gender and all 4 categories of BMI for

the selected age in this study sample. Pairwise comparison showed the negative association between dental caries and SES.

Moreover, significantly less number of children with caries was observed for highly educated mothers.

Abstract:

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) has been well established in Indian Medical Literature since the time of Sushruta. In

modern literature, this condition was first described by Schwartz in 1952. It is a chronic, insidious, progressive, irreversible,

crippling fibrotic disorder which not only involves the submucosa of the oral cavity and oropharynx but sometimes also

the esophagus and rarely the larynx. OSMF is well recognized “precancerous condition” which is characterized by changes

in the connective tissue fibers of the lamina propria and its deeper parts leading to stiffness of the mucosa and ultimately

restricted mouth opening. All forms of tobacco, excessive chili consumption, nutritional deficiencies, areca nut/betel nut usage,

immunologic derangements and much more have been suggested in its pathogenesis, but areca nut is implicated as the prime

etiologic agent. Areca nut chewing is a habit practiced predominately in Southeast Asia and India since time immemorial, but

alarmingly this condition is now being reported from Western countries as well. Reduced mouth opening, inability to whistle

or blow out, recurrent oral ulcers, burning sensation in the mouth, difficulty in swallowing, nasal voice, hesitation while

socializing with others etc., adversely influence the quality of life of such patients. OSMF’s malignant potential, psychological

distress, restriction of social activities, diminished physical health, economic problems related to treatment are bourgeoning

matters of concern which demand our pressing attention. These appeals for treatment of OSMF which aims at the release of

fibrosis to provide a long-term stable mouth opening primarily. Various treatment modalities are practiced at our institution

for the management of OSMF, which will be discussed in this oral presentation.

Greta Kersyte is a third-year dental student from Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LUHS). A delegate of Lithuania in International Association of Dental

Students (IADS) and a Liaison Officer of Editorial Board for IADS Magazine where she has written 9 articles so far. She has been doing practice in Maxillofacial

and Oral Surgery department in LUHS, also has done an Erasmus exchange program in University of Barcelona. From the first year very interested in the surgical

field and doing a clinical study about the usage of autologous dentin.

Abstract:

Regenerative dentistry has a need to develop better bone grafting materials. Bone augmentations and guided bone regeneration

(GBR) offers the clinician a chance to solve the problem of space deficiency due to morphologic and pathologic problems

of insufficient bone volume or space. Bone grafting materials are commonly categorized into 4 major categories: autogenous

bone, alloplastic bone, allograft bone, xenograft bone. There has been made many studies on how each type of bone graft is

effective in the GBR procedure and autologous bone graft is considered by many to be the "golden standard" due to its ability for

osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction. Its advantage is the rapid healing time without immune rejection. However

the shortcomings of an autologous bone are that the harvest amount is limited, resorption after the graft is unavoidable and

that there is another surgical site for the patient other than the area of the defect. We are studying the use of autologous bone

as grafting material for alveolar socket preservation after the third molar extraction. In control group after 3 months (n=11)

the depth of periodontal socket was 4.63 +- 0.48mm whereas in study group (n=13) 1.43 +-0.35mm. Patients also confirmed

that food stuck less to the site which was grafted. So this video presentation will focus on human dentin which can be used as

an autologous bone grafting material.
