ABSTRACT


Aim: The Study Aimed To Evaluate Clinical Implant Stability In The Maxilla Treated By Implant Placement With Simultaneous Soft Tissue Augmentation.Methodology: Ten Patients Were Randomly Selected From The Outpatient Clinic Of The Implantology Department. They Were Treated With Implant Placement With Simultaneous Soft Tissue Augmentation In The Maxilla. The Patients Were Assigned To Be Treated Using 11 Titanium Implants.

Results: There Was A Statistically Significan Increase In Mean Implant Stability Immediately Postoperative Was 66.45 (1.57) That Increased To 75.55 (2.5) Six Months Postoperative The Difference Was Statistically Significant (P-value <0.001, Efect Size = 3.971). (P ? 0.05).Conclusion: Implant Placement In Maxilla With Simultaneous Soft Tissue Augmentation Is A Viable Option For Treatment Of Missing Teeth. Remarkable Increase In Implant Stability. Although, Long Term Follow Up Studies Are Required To Confirm The Long Term Stability Of The Technique.

ABSTRACT


Aim: To Assess The Prevalence Of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) Among A Sample Of Egyptian Adolescents.Methodology: A Total Of Seven Hundred And Thirty-three Egyptian Adolescents Were Consecutively Recruited From The Diagnostic Center Clinic At The Faculty Of Dentistry, Cairo University. (283 Men And 450 Women) Participated In This Study From July2020 To June 2021. Their Ages Ranged From 10 -18 Years. The Prevalence Was Determined Using Symptom Questionnaire (Axis I) Of The Diagnostic Criteria For Tempro-mandibular Disorders (DC/TMD).

Results: Pain Was Self-reported In 10.1% Of The Total Subjects While The Headache Was In 8.2% Of The Sample. Temporalis Muscle Area Was Found To Be The Highest Reported Pain Location At 6% Of All Subjects. The Prevalence Of Pain Related Disorders Among The Study Participants Was 10.6% Of The Total Sample.

Conclusions: Pain Related Disorders Were Reported In 10.6% Of The Total Sample. Among The Pain Related Disorders, Clenching Was The Most Common Reported Activity Represented By 7.1% Of The Total Sample. All Types Of Reported TMDs Were More Common In Females Than Males Where Females Showed From 2-5 Times The Prevalence Of TMDs In Males.

ABSTRACT
Adequate Hard Tissue Around A Dental Implant Is Crucial For The Long-term Success Of The Implant Placement. However, Unfavorable Conditions, Due To Oral Infections, Bone Atrophy After Dental Extractions, And Long Term Edentulism, May Result In Insufficientavailable Bone, Making Implant Placement Impossible. Horizontal Bone Loss Is Higher In The Buccal Area Of The Alveolar Ridge. A Variety Of Surgical Techniques, Such As Onlay Grafts, Ridge Splitting, Distraction Osteogenesis, And Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR), Have Been Recommended For The Rehabilitation Of Resorbed Alveolar Ridges To Ensure That Implants Are Placed Under Optimum Conditions

ABSTRACT


Aim: This Study Was To Compare The Micro-tensile Bond Strength Using Two Universal Bonds.

Materials and Methods: Forty Freshly Extracted Molars Were Used, Flatpreparation Was Done Below The DEJ By 0.5mm. The Teeth Were Divided Into Two Equal Groups: Group 1 Using Tokuyama Palfiqueuniversal Bond And Group 2 Using BISCO All Bond Universal. PalfiqueSigma Quick Composite Resin Was Used For Teeth Restoration. Teeth Were Then Sectioned In A Mesio-distal And Bucco-lingual Direction Using Diamond Disc In A Cutting Machine At 200 RPM Under Copious Irrigation To Obtain Beams. Each Group Were Subdivided Into Two Equal Halves For Testing Microtensile Bond Strength After Of 24 Hours And Three Months Of Storage Period Using Universal Testing Machine.

Results: The Findings Showed No Significantdifference In The Micro-tensile Bond Strength Between The Two Tested Adhesives After 24 Hours, While There Was A Statistically Significantdifference Between ?TBS Of Specimens Prepared By The Two Tested Adhesives After 3 Months Of Water Storage With The Highest Mean Value Found In Specimens Prepared By BISCO.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The Aim Of This Study Was To Evaluate The Efficacyof The XP-Endo Finisher Filein The Removal Of Calcium Hydroxide From Straight Root Canals Of Single Rooted Teeth In Combination With Either Sodium Hypochlorite Plus Citric Acid Compared With That Of Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation.

Materials and Methods: Fifty Two Human Extracted Single Rooted Teeth With Single Straight Root Canals Were Selected And Prepared Using ProTaper Rotary Instruments Up To Size F3 (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). Calcium Hydroxide (MetaPaste, Meta Biomed Co, Cheongju, Korea) Intracanal Medication Was Placed Inside The Root Canals And Sealed With Temporary Fillingfor 7 Days. The Samples Were Then Randomly Divided Into Two Equal Groups According To The Technique Of Calcium Hydroxide Removal And Each Group Was Further Subdivided Into Two Equal Subgroups According To The Irrigation Protocol.

Results: The Combination Of Sodium Hypochlorite + Citric Acid In Comparison To Sodium Hypochlorite Alone Was Significanty Effective In Removing Calcium Hydroxide From The Coronal Third With XP-Endo Finisher While With Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation, The Combination Was Significantlyeffective In Removing Calcium Hydroxide From The Three Root Canal Thirds As Well As The Total Surface Area. Irrespective Of The Irrigation Protocol, There Were No Statistically Significantdifferences Between XP-Endo Finisher And Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation In Removing. Calcium Hydroxide From The Three Root Canal Thirds And The Total Surface Area.

Conclusions: It Can Be Concluded That None Of The Tested Methods (techniques Of Activation And Irrigation Protocols Were Able To Completely Remove Calcium Hydroxide From The Root Canal Walls. The Combination Of 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite + 10% Citric Acid Either With XP-Endo Finisher Or Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation Recorded A Smaller Amount Of Calcium Hydroxide Remnants In The Root Canal Walls In Comparison To 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite Alone.

ABSTRACT
The Aim Of This Study Was To Assess The Attitude Of Ministry Of Health Dentists Towards Continuing Professional Development (CPD) And To Determine The Perception Of Competency That General Practitioners Got Through Continuing Education Courses (CE) In Their Daily Practice.Methodology: A Questionnaire Was Designed To Give A Better Understanding Of The Impact Of Postgraduate CE Courses On Improving Standards Of Dental Practice. The Questionnaire Itself Contains 34 Questions Ranging From Personal Information To Professional Enquiries (specialization, Degree Type, Work Experience). Data Collection Will Include Hospitals (public, Private, Academic And Military) Research Centers, Health Insurance Clinics, Private Clinics, CPD Courses In The Dental Syndicate, Etc . To Attain A Proper View Of The Overall Opinion On CPD Activities A Sample Size Of 300 Dentist?s Was Used. Results Of The Questionnaire Was Uploaded Into SPSS Program For Statistical Analysis.

Results: Most Of Participants Who Joined The Different CPD Activates Were Under Age Of 30 (n= 170), Most Of Their Interest Were Conference Attendance (51%), While Their Second Choice Was Courses (47.6%), The Age Group With A Range Of 30-50 Years (n=117), Showed The Highest Interest In CPD Courses Followed By Conferences (55.57%). A Total Of 229 Participants (76.3%) Gave A History Of Contribution In Postgraduate Continuous Education Activities. Most Of Them 45% Reported One To Four Activities Annually, And The Most Common Reason Was To Update Their Knowledge Regarding The Advancement In Dental Practice.

Conclusions: It Was Concluded That Dentists In The Age Group Below Thirty Years Showed The Higher Share In CPD Activities And Expressed The Importance Of These Courses On Their Daily Practice. Their Main Interest Was To Update Their Knowledge And Follow New Technology In Dentistry.
