Goal directed orthodontic treatment is extremely important. If the goals of treatment are overlooked from the diagnosis and treatment planning phase through to the phase of retention, continuous errors can be made. However, if the goals are kept constantly in mind, results are much more consistent, and when minor compromises must occur, the reasons for these can be understood to avoid many of them in the future. Therefore, the emphasis of this article is well summarized by the famous proverb “An ounce of prevention is better than pounds of cure”.

Foreign bodies ingestion or aspiration situations are potential complications during orthodontic treatment. This article presents a case report of an orthodontic patient who accidentally ingested a section of orthodontic wire. The patient was accompanied by radiographs until the foreign body have been deleted.

Embryonic development of the head and face are among the most complex prenatal developmental events. Any disturbance during the developmental stage can result in craniofacial abnormalities, and the timing of the disturbance and intensity of the interruption affect the severity and type of the anomaly. Cleft lip and palate are relatively common congenital malformations and are readily diagnosed. Treating cleft lip and palate defects is important because of the severe aesthetic, functional, and serious psychological problems faced by both patients and their parents. It is recommended that cleft lip and palate patients from 0 to 18 years old undergo treatment with a multidisciplinary team. In this series of clinical reports, we describe clinical orthodontic treatment approaches using a presurgical nasoalveolar moulding (PNAM) in newly born unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate babies. Three boys and one girl were selected from among other cleft lip and palate patients because some information about the possible aetiology of the clefts was observed and the parents were cooperative during treatment. The objectives of PNAM use in unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate patients are to presurgically decrease the severity of the cleft size, maintain a narrower cleft palate, and increase the length of the columella and height of the nostrils. With parental cooperation, the treatment goals were achieved in these cases.

The aim of this study was to determine selected heavy metal levels including cobalt (Co), Chromium (Cr) nickel (Ni) in scalp hair and fingernail samples of dental technicians. The scalp hair and fingernail samples were collected from 55 dental technicians and 25 medical technicians (control group). In the same time a questionnaire was filled by each subject of the two groups. The concentration of heavy metals (Co, Cr and Ni) in scalp hair and fingernail were determined by spectrometry. The result showed that the Co concentration in hair and nails of dental technicians was (0.74 μg/g, 6.5 μg/g respectively) compared with medical technicians (0.04 μg/g, 0.03 μg/g respectively). Ni concentration in hair and nails of dental technicians was (12.00 μg/g, 17.4 μg/g respectively) compared with medical technicians (6.3 μg/g, 6.00 μg/g respectively). Concentration of Cr in hair and nails of dental technicians was (9.37 μg/g, 10.6 μg/g respectively) compared with medical technicians (0.0 μg/g, 10.3 μg/g respectively), Ni was found to have the highest level in the hair and fingernails of dental technicians.

Objective: Comparison of the effect of shoulder with deep chamfer finish lines in P.F.M restorations using electroforming. Method: This experimental study was performed on 20 samples that were randomly selected. Two cutting designs shoulder and deep chamfer were created on dies via a standard turning machine. The diameter rim was 8mm and the height was 6 mm and the depth of cutting edge in cervical area, was 1mm. Impressions were made from dies and 10 acetone dies were prepared for each group. Silver was used on the dies to the finish line and a copper wire was connected to the die by making a foramen 1 mm away from finish line. The collection of die and wire were attached to the head of electroforming machine and gold cooping was created with electroforming. The gap between the die and the crown was measured by electron microscope; data was recorded and evaluated by the t-test. Results: According to statistical data, the average gap in shoulder lathe was 24.42 microns and in deep chamfer was 20.66 microns. Conclusions: The deep chamfer design in electroforming method had a better marginal fitness in comparison to the shoulder design.

It is a well known fact that oral lichen planus (OLP) is a non infectious disease affecting the oral mucous membrane. It is considered to be an autoimmune disorder mediated mainly by the T-lymphocytes. It affects 1-2% of the general population with maximum prevelance seen among women above the age of 40. WHO considers it to be a potentially malignant disorder and the rate of malignant transformation has been put between 0.5-2%. This article mainly reviews the various pathogenetic mechanisms by which this unique disorder occurs along with the clinical, histopathological and treatment aspects.

The C shaped canal configuration is an anatomic variant most commonly seen in mandibular second molars. The presence of this configuration in a single rooted maxillary permanent first molar is rare. This case report describes the endodontic management of a single rooted infected maxillary first molar having a c shaped root canal configuration.

During the last decade, stem cells emerged as a powerful instrument for regenerative medicine. Stem cells have the essential ability to renewal and differentiate into other cell lineages. Besides the polemic about the use of embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells represent a valid alternative avoiding ethical concerns. Different from others adult stem cells, which involved invasive procedures to be obtained, dental pulp represent a useful source of stem cells, with easy accesses. Here we focused on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth and their main characteristics, uses in regenerative medicine, immunomodulatory proprieties and as a cell source for modeling disease.

Background: Several factors can influence gingival tissues. Among them: disrupting tissue homeostasis and occurrence of pathological conditions. The aim of our study was to investigate and compare the presence of apoptosis in patients treated with immunosuppressive therapy, patients with periodontitis and on the other hand, healthy patients, as well as to better understand the role of apoptosis in the these processes. Methods: The first objective group consisted of 21 patients (10 males and 11 females; mean age 37.4 ± 10.2 years old) with neither kidney diseases nor treated with cyclosporine A (CsA) therapy, who had a verified periodontal disease. The second group consisted of 21 kidney-transplant patients (9 males and 12 females; mean age 36.2 ± 9.5 years old), with diagnosed gingival overgrowth (GO) subjected to continuous immunosuppressive therapy. The control group consisted of the same number of patients, clinically healthy subjects (15 males and 6 females; mean age 29 ± 14.0 years old) with plaque-induced gingivitis. The following indexes were analyzed: plaque index (PI) Sillnes-Loe, index of gingival inflammation (GI) according to Loe-Sillnes, and gingival overgrowth index (GOI) according to MacGaw et al. The determination of CsA in blood was performed by a fluorescence polarised immunoassay (FPIA).The tissue samples were estimated by semiquantitative analysis in order to determine the presence of apoptotic cells and immunohistochemical expression of the bcl-2 and p53 proteins. Results: We found statistical differences in bcl-2 and apoptotic index, among the groups: greatest expression of bcl-2 and apoptotic index was registered in the group treated with CsA, and the lowest expression was noted in the gingivitis group(p 0,05 ; r = 0.187). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that increased apoptosis may have a role in the pathogenesis of CsA-induced gingival overgrowth in the cases of patients on high dose of CsA.

Biodentine material has been recently introduced in dentistry in order to provide dentin substitute for coronal and radicular pulp. Although number of materials like Amalgam, GIC, Composite and MTA are available in market for repair of dentin loss in tooth structure, none of these possesses ideal properties. Despite of number of advantages of MTA, its limitations cannot be overlooked. These drawbacks have been overcome by a new calcium silicate based material named Biodentine which has good handling properties, short setting time and improved mechanical properties. In nut shell it is able to act as a promising dentin substitute in coronal and radicular portion of tooth.
