Abstract Objectives The aim of the present study is to evaluate the early and long-term postoperative dimensional changes of the muscles of the mandible in patients with orthognathic surgery for class II and class III malocclusions by using ultrasonography (US). Material and methods Twenty-six patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic...
The original version of this article contained two mistakes. First, in the subchapter “Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)” page 1895, reference 4 is cited three times, however reference 42 is the correct one.
Abstract Objectives The objective of the study was to conduct a systematic review of literature assessing botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) safety and adverse effects in the treatment of myofascial pain (MFP) and trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Materials and methods The search for articles by two specific researchers involved the PubMed, EMBASE, Web...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of root-end filling after periapical surgery on the fractal dimension (FD) of the periapical bone. Methods Thirty-eight patients who underwent periapical surgery were included in this study. The cases were divided into two subgroups: (1) In the gutta-percha group, root cavity...
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the potential added benefit of the topical application of hyaluronic acid (HA) on the clinical outcomes following non-surgical or surgical periodontal therapy. Materials and methods A systematic search was performed in Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus and Grey literature databases. The literature...
Abstract Objectives The aim of the present randomized controlled split-mouth clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the adjunctive use of photodynamic low-level laser therapy (670 nm), applying methylene blue as photosensitizer, and the effectiveness of a diode laser (940 nm) compared with conventional non-surgical mechanical treatment in a group of patients with chronic periodontal disease. ...
Abstract Objectives Endodontic treatment works as a successful treatment modality in several cases. However, it may fail due to some reasons unforeseeable by the dentist. Many failures can be prevented by carefully assessing the difficulty level of the case before initiating treatment or by referral to a specialist. This study presents an approach using machine learning to generate an algorithm which can help predict the difficulty level...
Abstract Objectives To explore the clinical effect, the healing modes, and the potential influence factors of intentional replantation for periodontally hopeless teeth in combination with regeneration techniques. Materials and methods Intentional replantation was operated on forty-eight periodontally hopeless teeth from forty-eight patients. The clinical...

Van der GlasAbstractObjectivesFood particles are intra-orally locked up between antagonistic posterior teeth, during each chewing cycle. Food locking up (FL) may enhance selection of particles for subsequent breakage, hence chewing efficiency (CE). The two aims were to determine FL, and to examine the relationship between FL and CEDesignA spherical...

A total of 25 patients were randomly allocated into either the experimental (n = 13)...
Publication date: Available online 12 August 2019Source: Archives of Oral BiologyAuthor(s): Chuan Jiang, Qian Wang, Miaomiao Song, Meng Wang, Li Zhao, Yong HuangAbstractPeriodontitis is the most common oral disease which can destroy periodontal supporting tissue leading to tooth loss. Anti-inflammatory substances can effectively improve periodontitis. The present study was to explore whether Coronarin D could resolve the periodontal inflammation and improve the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation...

Abstract Objective In vitro testing of archwires in a multibracket model may provide estimates of force–moment (F/M) systems applied to individual teeth in a realistic geometry. Such investigations have mostly been performed by continuous wire deflection, leading to frictional forces biasing the pure deflection forces. Aim of this study was to quantify this bias and the pure deflection forces for leveling archwires. ...

LimAbstractDental migration into the ethmoid sinus is extremely rare. Furthermore, it is very unusual that a displaced dental implant is associated with a concomitant fungus ball in the ethmoid sinus. Herein, we report an unusual case of the coexistence of a dental implant and fungus ball in the ethmoid sinus. It appears that this condition...

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the orofacial parameters of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and its related systemic features. Subjects and Methods A descriptive case‐control study was performed from November/2015 to October/2016. Ninety‐three individuals were included and divided into SSc Group (n=50) and healthy controls (C, n=43). Results SSc individuals were mostly women (43/50, 86%), with a mean age of 46 years (± 11.6 years). Telangiectasia (42/50, 84%) and...

Dental migration into the ethmoid sinus is extremely rare. Furthermore, it is very unusual that a displaced dental implant is associated with a concomitant fungus ball in the ethmoid sinus. Herein, we report an unusual case of the coexistence of a dental implant and fungus ball in the ethmoid sinus. It appears that this condition has not been reported previously.
