ABSTRACT

Objectives: The Purpose Of The Study Was To Assess The Relation Between Clinical And Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings In Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.

Materials and Methods: MRI Scanning And Clinical Examination Were Performed To Twenty Patients Of Both Sexes And Varying Ages, Complaining Of TMJ Disorders. The Disc Position, Disc Morphology, Condylar Osseous Changes, Retrodiscal Tissue Status And Joint Effusion Were Assessed. The Correlation Between The Clinical And MRI Findings Was Statistically Analyzed.

Results: Pain In The Temporomandibular Region Was The Most Common Clinical Presentation, It Accounts For 67.5% Of Cases. Significant Correlation Was Found Between Pain And Disk Morphology, Condylar Osseous Changes, Retrodiscal Tissue Status (p=0.001, 0.019, 0.003 Respectively)and With Disc Displacement. Statistically Significant Relationship Was Also Found Between Disk Position, Eminence Changes And TMJ Sounds (P=0.025, 0.004 Respectively), As Well As Between Disk Position And Maximum Mouth Opening (MMO)( P=0.018). There Was A Direct Correlation Between Retrodiscal Tissue Status And Mandibular Deviation (p=0.021). Conclusion: Clinical Evaluation Of The TMJ Can Be Nonspecific Due To Overlap Of Symptoms Between Internal Derangement And Myofacial Pain Dysfunction. MRI Should Be Part Of The Standard Evaluation When An Internal Structural Joint Abnormality Is Suspected .Disc Displacement As Observed With MRI Correlated Well With Clinical Signs And Symptoms.

ABSTRACT


Aim: Evaluation Of The Efficacy Of The Pre-shaped Resorbable Membrane On Increasing Height Of Atrophic Posterior Alveolar Ridge In Mandible VS Low Profile Titanium Mesh By Using CBCT Scan. Patients And Methods: The Study Was Conducted On 8 Bilateral Posterior Mandibular Sides Of Eight Patients Which Were Suffering From Severe Mandibular Atrophy. Each Patient Was Treated By Vertical Ridge Augmentation By Autogenous Cortico-cancellous Bone Graft Taken From Anterior Iliac Crest Of The Same Patient. In One Mandibular Side Of Each Patient Bone Graft Protected With Titanium Mesh (control Group) And The Other Side In The Same Patient Protected With Pre-curved Membrane (study Group).The Patients Were Followed Up For Six Months Postoperatively Clinically And By Cone Beam Computed Tomograms Immediately Postoperative, Which Represented The Base Line Radiographs And After Six Months, Bone Height Was Measured To Compare Amount Of Bone Resorption Of Both Groups.

Results: All Statistical Tests Were Two Sided And Performed At A Significance Level Of ^5; =.05 And By Using Student�s T-test (Student�s T-test: T = 2.414, P < .05). The Results Showed A Statistically Significant Difference Between The Resorption Rate RR Of The Vertically Augmented Alveolar Ridge Under The Membrane In The Study Group (n=8) And RR In The Control Group (n=8). The Results Showed Increase In Resorption Rate In The Study Group More Than The Control Group. Conclusion: The Resorption Rate In Augmented Bone Is Higher In Sides Where The Membrane Was Used Than The Sides In Which The Ti- Mesh Was Used Because The Membrane Loses Its Form And Its Rigidity By Humidity Before Consolidation Of The Augmented Bone.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The Aim Of The Present Study Was To Evaluate The Possible Effect Of Vitamin E Administration As An Adjunct To Scaling And Root Planing On GCF Levels Of Malondialdehyde And Clinical Parameters In Patients With Chronic Periodontitis. The Adjunctive Effect Of Vitamin E Was Compared To Scaling And Root Planing Alone. Methods: Thirty-two Patients With Chronic Periodontitis Participated In This Study. They Received Scaling And Sub Gingival Debridement With Either Administration Of Vitamin E (Group I) Or Placebo (Group II). The Primary Outcome Was To Measure The Level Of Malondialdehyde (MDA) In Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) Using The Quantitative Sandwich ELISA Technique. In Addition, Clinical Parameters Such As PLI,GI, PPD And CAL Were Recorded At Baseline And 3 Months After Treatment. Results The Mean Difference Between Baseline And 3 Months Scores Presented Significant Difference Between The 2 Groups With Respect To CAL And PD. The Test Group Presented More Gain In CAL (0.78mm Versus 0.46mm) And More Reduction In PD (0.81mm Versus 0.41mm). The Test Group Presented Higher Reduction In GCF Level Of MDA 3 Months Posttreatment. However, The Difference Between Groups Did Not Reach Statistical Significance. Conclusion: Scaling And Root Planing Significantly Reduced GCF Levels Of MDA 1 And 3 Months After Treatment Compared To Baseline Values. The Adjunctive Administration Of Vitamin E Produced Higher Reduction In GCF Levels Of MDA 3 Months After Treatment In Comparison To Control Group. The Adjunctive Administration Of Vitamin E Produced More Significant Reduction In Full Mouth Scores For PD And More Significant Gain In Full Mouth Scores For CAL 3 Months After Treatment.

ABSTRACT


Purpose: The Aim Of This Study Was To Compare The Clinical And Radiographic Outcomes Between Immediate Loaded Basal Compression Screw Implants And Conventional Screw Implants.

Materials and Methods: The Study Comprised 16 Patients Who Were Randomly Assigned Into 2 Equal Groups. Group I Patients Received Basal Implants While Group II Patients Received Conventional Implants. All Implants Were Immediately Loaded At 3 Days After Placement. All Patients Were Evaluated Clinically Regarding: Implant Stability At 3 Days, 1, 3 And 6. Pri-implant Probing Depth (PD) , And Radiographically Regarding Marginal Bone Loss (MBL) At 1, 3 And 6 Months After Loading.

Results: During The Follow Up Period Of 6 Months, The Success Rate Of The Groap 1 Was 100% And Groap 2 Was 38.5%. The 16 Patients Were Attended The Recalls Of The Follow Up To The End Time Of The Period Of The Study. No Postoperative Complications Were Shown And Successful Implant Signs Of Osseointegration Without Any Failure Signs (soft Tissue Dehiscence, Infection Or Loosening Of Implants) Except The Failed Conventional Implants, Significant Difference Was Found When We Compared Between Both Groups. Conclusion: Basal Implant Is Can Be Immediately Loaded In Single Stage With Minimally Invasive Flapless Surgery And Minimal Surgical Complications In Atrophic Posterior Maxilla Instead Of Use Of Sinus Augmentation Due To Its High Cost And Long Time Of Waiting.
