Full textAbstract:
The most important measure in the treatment of inflammation of the gums is the removal of the concretions from the teeth, and next the arousing in the mind of the patient an active determination to keep them clean in the future. These two measures are absolutely necessary for success; nothing can be accomplished unless they are scrupulously carried out. The removal of these concretions in such a manner as to assure success is, however, one of the most difficult operations in dental surgery. Another very serious difficulty standing in the way of success is the very slack and inefficient notions that have been held in regard to it by the profession at large. When dentists learn to regard this operation as equal in importance to, and requiring as much thoroughness as, the filling of teeth, and when they apply themselves with the same diligence to acquiring the necessary dexterity in its performance, they will be rewarded with success; without this, success in the treatment of this disease cannot be attained.

Full textAbstract:
The incidence and intensity of bacteremia following tooth extraction in children were measured by blood culture. The effects on bacteremia of the number and type of teeth extracted, oral hygiene, gingival health, presence of abscess, and antibiotic prophylaxis were assessed. Antibiotic prophylaxis reduced the incidence of bacteremia from 63% to 35%. The intensity of bacteremia was 2 cfu/mL of blood or less in 80% of the children. An agar pour-plate method of blood culture was significantly more effective than broth in culturing the small volumes of inoculum. Of 83 bacterial strains characterized, 39 were strict anaerobes or micro-aerophilic, and the remainder mainly streptococci. S. mitior and S. sanguis were most commonly isolated, often in pure culture, and were generally sensitive to antibiotics. No direct association was demonstrated between the plaque and gingival indices and incidence of bacteremia or between the number of teeth extracted and the incidence or intensity of bacteremia. It is concluded that all children at risk from infective endocarditis require antibiotic prophylaxis prior to tooth extraction, since it is impossible for the likelihood or intensity of transient bacteremia to be clinically predicted.

Objective The natural accumulation of supragingival plaque on surfaces of human teeth is associated with gingival inflammation and the initiation of common oral diseases. This study evaluated the distribution of dental plaque and gingivitis scores within the dental arches after prophylaxis. Methods Adult subjects from the Dharwad, India area representing the general population who provided written informed consent were scheduled for screening. Healthy subjects over the age of 18 years, not currently requiring any medical or dental care, and presenting with a complement of at least 20 natural teeth were recruited for this parallel design study. Enrolled subjects (n = 41) underwent oral examinations for dental plaque (PI) and gingivitis (GI) using the Turesky modification of the Quigley-Hein and the Löe-Silness Index, respectively, at the baseline visit, followed by a whole mouth dental prophylaxis. Subjects were given fluoride toothpaste for twice daily oral hygiene for the next 30 days. Subjects were recalled on days 15 and 30 for PI and GI examinations identical to baseline. Results Analyses indicated that mean scores for PI and GI on either arch and the whole mouth were higher than 2 and 1, respectively, during all examinations. Anterior surfaces consistently exhibited lower PI scores than posterior regions of either arch, or the entire dentition. Regional GI differences within the dentition were similar to PI scores, with lower scores on anterior than posterior teeth. Prophylaxis reduced both the frequency and mean scores of both PI and GI, irrespective of arch, with lower scores observed on anterior than posterior regions during all recall visits. Molar and lingual regions consistently exhibited higher PI and GI scores compared with anterior surfaces. At all examinations, mean scores for both plaque and gingivitis were higher on approximal vestibular than mid-vestibular surfaces. Conclusions Differences observed in PI and GI within the dentition have several practical implications: (a) there are advantages of whole mouth assessments for oral health (b) a need for oral hygiene formulations to reduce the larger deposits of dental plaque in the posterior region and resultant gingival inflammation, and (c) a requirement for ongoing oral hygiene education.

An in-depth study was performed using SofScale™ Calculus Scaling Gel to determine its value in assisting animal dental prophylaxis as compared to non-treated teeth. A total of one hundred and five animals (dogs and cats) were tested. This gel saved a slight amount of time on animal full mouth prophylaxis in many cases, especially in heavy calculus groups. The gel helped to reduce total actual scaling time, but did not reduce actual procedure time.

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>The purpose of this study was to perform an experimental quantitative comparison of primary teeth enamel alterations under three commonly prophylaxis surface polishing treatments. <strong>Material and </strong><strong>Methods: </strong>36 healthy primary teeth naturally exfoliated were selected and randomly separated in three groups. Group I was treated with a rotary instrument set at a low speed, rubber cup and a mixture of water and pumice; group II with a rotary instrument set at a low speed, rubber cup and prophylaxis paste Herjos-F (Vigodent S/A Indústria e Comércio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); and group III with sodium bicarbonate spray Profi II Ceramic (Dabi Atlante Indústrias Médico Odontológicas Ltda, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil). All procedures were performed by the same operator for ten seconds, and samples were rinsed and stored in distilled water. Pre-and post-treatment surface evaluation was completed using a surface profilometer Mitutoyo SJ400. <strong>Results: </strong>The results of this study were statistically analyzed with the GraphPad PRISM (version 6, 2010). The pumice and water led to significantly rougher surfaces than other groups in Tukey’s test (Group I: 1.22 Ra; Group II 0.38 Ra; Group III: 1.01 Ra). Pre-and post-treatment comparison revealed significantly rougher enamel surface with pumice. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Based on this study, it can be concluded that there was an increased enamel surface roughness when teeth were treated with pumice and water in comparison to bicarbonate spray and prophylaxis paste.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p><strong></strong>Dental enamel; Dental prophylaxis; Jet abrasive system; Enamel roughness; Primary teeth.<strong> <br clear="all" /> </strong></p>

Full textAbstract:
Dental anomalies are the leading ones among dental diseases in the period of mixed (79,96%) and permanent (84,33%) dentition. According to the results of our studies, frequency of distal occlusion (up to 40%) and dental crowding (up to 65%) are the largest in structure of orthodontic pathology.
 The aim of the study is to analyze and summarize knowledge about ways of enhancement of treatment and prophylaxis efficiency in patients with distal occlusion and dental crowding.
 Genetic predisposition, early childhood diseases (including upper respiratory tract infections), children's bad habits, pathological state of teeth (adentia, impaction, micro-, macrodentia), micro-, macrognathia, functional disorders of maxillofacial area contribute a high percentage in structure of "risk factors" which lead to formation of distal occlusion with dental crowding. For each particular patient distal occlusion, complicated by dental crowding, is formed under the influence of combination of several "risk factors", where the first place belongs to disturbances of dental area: breathing, closing of lips, swallowing, chewing, speech.
 Today it is well known that the first step in correction of distal occlusion of dentitions is to evaluate the patient's potential growth. Treatment in the period of mixed dentition is important with relation to protection of palate from trauma by mandibular incisors with a large sagittal gap, prophylaxis of dysfunction of temporomandibular joint, psychological rehabilitation of children during speech formation, as well as to improve the prognosis of treatment in older age. The best period of treatment is a peak of growth and development. Growth is the most important factor in planning treatment of distal occlusion, since dramatic changes in correction are related to growth rather than teeth movement. Orthodontists forbear from recommendations for teeth extraction in growing patients, as they believe that it leads to worsening of face profile and does not allow to achieve optimal relationships of jaw and occlusion.
 In adult patients, complete conservative correction of distal occlusion is possible only in the absence of skeletal disorders. Combined method, namely combination of orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery, is an alternative for adults treatment.
 Adequate individual approach to orthodontic treatment in patients with distal occlusion complicated by dental crowding is based on a comprehensive clinical examination, scientific analysis and results interpretation of additional examination methods. Full functional occlusion is possible if all elements of dentition: occlusion, periodontal tissues, temporomandibular joints, muscles and nervous system, are considered. Stable results and positive prognosis are provided by normalization of physiological state of masticatory and mimic muscles.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dental health status of nursery age children and parents. The use of dental services was assessed. Subjects and Methods: The study was performed in nursery schools located in Poznan, Western Poland. Clinical examination was carried out in 157 children (48.41% males and 51.59% females), aged 10–42 months. Dental health status (the number of teeth with caries, fillings and extracted) of their parents was determined on the basis of data obtained from a questionnaire. The questions also concerned information on child’s and parents’ dental check-ups and opinion on their predisposition to dental caries. Results: Clinical examination revealed that 21.05% of boys and 18.51% of girls had dental caries. Most mothers had from 1 to 5 either carious and/or filled teeth (47.13%) or extracted teeth due to carious process (61.15%); the fathers’ values were similar at 46.50 and 66.24%, respectively. More mothers (84.71%) than fathers (72.62%) had regular dental check-ups (p = 0.02). The analysis of mother-father-child triads showed that when both parents visited the dentist regularly, more children were free of caries (56.68%) in comparison to those with the disease (13.38%; p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study showed that the dental health status, as well as oral care of nursery school children and their parents, is unsatisfactory. Therefore, there is a need to introduce an intensive dental educational program focusing on dental prophylaxis for nursery age children and their parents or caregivers.

Full textAbstract:
The most recent revision of the American Heart Association guidelines on infective endocarditis prophylaxis occurred in 2007. These revisions were based on the fact that current data have brought into question the benefit of previous recommendations for infective endocarditis prophylaxis. It was noted that the bacteremia that occurs following dental procedures represents only a fraction of the episodes of bacteremia that occur with activities of daily living (such as chewing, brushing teeth and other oral hygiene measures). The target groups and the procedures for which prophylaxis is reasonable have been significantly reduced in number. The focus is now on patients who are most likely to have adverse outcomes from infectious endocarditis. The present article is targeted at practicing Canadian physicians and provides the rationale for the current recommendations. In addition to a summary of the indications for prophylaxis, information is provided on the conditions for which prophylaxis is not recommended.

Abstract Dental caries in children and teenagers is a social problem and an important element in public health. It stems from its high prevalence and the consequences of not implementing proper treatment are serious. Younger and younger children suffer from dental caries. When it is not treated, the consequences tend to be serious and costly. Pathogenesis of dental caries, methods of treatment and its prevention have been described based on available literature. The decline in frequency of its appearance will be beneficial for both the sick and society. It will be possible thanks to an early introduction of caries prophylaxis. What is more, a change of mindset and lifestyle is highly recommended as well, not to mention the fact that full and easy access to dental care seems to be essential. All of the factors mentioned above are strictly connected with the proper organization of dental care providing special treatment for children and teenagers in Poland. Its scale should be wide and should cover such activities like teaching to brush one’s teeth properly, access to fluoridation or treatment provided in public dental surgeries located, for example, on school grounds. Current organization of dental care is dealing better and better with the issue concerned, however, to minimalize the risk of caries in children further changes should be introduced.

Introduction: Many socio-demographic indicators, apart from other risk factors, may lead to a multicausal disease, such as caries. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate dental health status in 12-year olds in urban and rural populations in Banja Luka and determine possible risk factors in their oral health behavior. Subjects and Methods: The study involved 496 children, 12-year-old pupils in primary schools in urban and rural regions of Banja Luka. Dental checkup was performed in classrooms at day light and using dental mirrors and probes. Caries prevalence was analyzed using the Klein-Palmer system to obtain the mean decayed teeth values for the two regions. The pupils filled in questionnaires about their socioeconomic status, motivation and knowledge on oral health as well as oral hygiene and dietary habits. Results: High mean decayed teeth values were obtained in the rural population of pupils (4.89 and 6.74). Questionnaire data showed statistically significant differences regarding dental visits, fluoride prophylaxis, the frequency of tooth brushing and the age when pupils started to maintain oral hygiene. Conclusion: 12-year olds have a large number of affected teeth, especially in the rural region. It is essential to implement oral health education programs aimed at improving oral health and eliminating the misbalance in dental health status in populations living in different socio-economic and demographic regions.

Full textAbstract:
A pain-free, functioning, and good-looking dentition for a lifetime seems a reasonable goal! Is this what dentists do? An advertisement for a North American dental practice recently suggested that dentists practising general dentistry provide amalgam and composite fillings, sealants, cosmetic dentistry, pulp and root canal treatment, crown and bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Moreover, they do minor oral surgery, gum disease treatment, and occasionally temporomandibular joint (TMJ) therapy, tobacco cessation, and nutrition counselling. The topics listed in the first sentence comprise the daily work in general dentistry, but do you realize that 85% of these are a direct consequence of dental caries? Yet dental caries is not mentioned as the main reason for most dental treatments. Restorative treatment is the focus of dentistry. The disease dental caries is the only disease which has been combatted with metals and composites for more than a century. Some 50 years ago the concept of prevention became fashionable. Now restorative treatment was described as ‘secondary prophylaxis’ because it was considered that once the inevitable dental caries had occurred, it had to be treated (i.e. restored) to prevent further break down of the teeth and the dentition. Therefore, it is not surprising that the most time in the dental curriculum is devoted to the many skilled restorative procedures. These have to be conducted in a moist, slippery, small, and moving oral cavity attached to a person who may find the procedure unpleasant! No wonder it is difficult to perform intra-oral restorative work of high quality as part of oral rehabilitation, and no wonder so much time in the curriculum is devoted to these aspects. However, supposing it was possible to prevent or control the disease so that restorations are reduced to a minimum? This control of caries is what this book is about! Seven chapters present the essentials of what is known about dental caries. The observations will be based on current scientific evidence. This is a hands-on book, which means that what is suggested and observed should have immediate implications for how patients may be treated.
