Identification Of Stiffness Variations In Supporting Substances Of A Human Canine Tooth With A Bracket-Beam-Piezoelectric Sensor And Its Electromechanical Impedance, Hector A. Tinoco

Future Dental Journal

In this paper, an experimental method is described to identify the stiffness variations produced by drillings done in different supporting substances of a human canine tooth. To measure the supporting substances parameters through of a canine, a sensor-actuator systemwas developed. The sensor-actuator device was composed of a stainless steel bracket bonded to a steel wire attached to two piezoelectric transducers, with a concentrated mass attached to the end of the wire. To excite the device, high frequency voltage (between 5 and 10 KHz) was applied through the piezo-transducers, which affects the tooth by means of the vibration of the wire. …


Effect Of Core/Veneer Thickness Ratio And Veneer Translucency On Absolute And Relative Translucency Of Cad-On Restorations, Mennatallah Mohie El-Din Wahba Sep 2020

Effect Of Core/Veneer Thickness Ratio And Veneer Translucency On Absolute And Relative Translucency Of Cad-On Restorations, Mennatallah Mohie El-Din Wahba

Future Dental Journal

Statement of problem: With zirconia being chalky white in color with poor optical properties, several veneering techniques have been adopted to improve the esthetic qualities of zirconia-based restorations. Yet, these techniques didn't recommend the optimum combination of core-veneer thickness ratios and veneer translucency needed to provide the ultimate optical properties. Purpose This in vitro study was designed to evaluate the translucency of CAD-veneered zirconia restorations through the effect of different core-veneer thickness ratios, and different translucencies of Cad- On veneer material. Methods: Sixty CAD-On restorations were constructed and classified into 3 groups (n ¼ 20) of different core/veneer thickness ratios …

Intraparotid Facial Nerve Schwannoma: A Case Report, Bacem A.E.O. Khalele Sep 2020

Intraparotid Facial Nerve Schwannoma: A Case Report, Bacem A.E.O. Khalele

Future Dental Journal

Quite rarely, major salivary glands tend to display neural tumors. Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma, when encountered, is often confusing given the similarity of the histological pictures of such tumors with other primary salivary variants and phenotypes as well as the lack of definitive histological findings of fine needle biopsies. Therefore, the final decision is usually made, at the surgical setting. There, the lesional intimacy to the nerve and the frozen biopsy of the safety margins determine, quite correctly, the best treatment option. This paper reports a rare case of intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma and focuses light on such a diagnostic …


Palatal Caliber Persistent Artery In A Diabetic Patient, Bacem A.E.O. Khalele Sep 2020

Palatal Caliber Persistent Artery In A Diabetic Patient, Bacem A.E.O. Khalele

Future Dental Journal

Caliber persistent artery is a rarely reported lesion which prefers, given the underpinned literature, the labial arteries. This paper reports a very rare case of an isolated palatal ulcerative lesion in a non-insulin dependent diabetic patient. The patient refused to run any radiological tests, other than the periapical radiograph, but consented the incisional biopsy. Therefore, histochemical and immunohsitochemical stains were ushered to establish, non-invasively, a diagnosis. Accordingly, this paper explores the diagnostics and differential diagnosis of caliber persistent artery and reviews briefly the previously reported cases.


Sjögren's Syndrome In A 25-Year-Old Female: A Case Study, Bacem A.E.O. Khalele Sep 2020

Sjögren's Syndrome In A 25-Year-Old Female: A Case Study, Bacem A.E.O. Khalele

Future Dental Journal

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune epithelitis characterized by lymphocytic glandular infiltration and various extraglandular manifestations. SS is usually encountered in middle-aged females (>50 years). Immunological, viral, hereditary, environmental and hormonal etiologic factors are controversially proposed with regard to the pathogenesis of SS with no upper hand given. The present study reports an atypical case of SS in a 25-year-old female who was closely followed up for three years. Being pregnant in 2015, SS ran a total remission course but did relapse more aggressively after delivery. Immunologically implicating, the possible interpretation, which may account for such a pathological fluctuation, …


Adenoid Variant Of Peripheral Ameloblastoma With Cellular Atypia In The Retromolar Pad Area: A Case Report, Bacem A.E.O. Khalele Sep 2020

Adenoid Variant Of Peripheral Ameloblastoma With Cellular Atypia In The Retromolar Pad Area: A Case Report, Bacem A.E.O. Khalele

Future Dental Journal

Adenoid ameloblastoma (AA) is a very rare subtype of solid/multicystic ameloblastoma. It demonstrates areas of typical or atypical adenomatoid odontogenic tumor along with the ameloblastic content. To date, there are 17 reported cases of AA. This paper reports, however, the first introduced adenoid variant in a peripheral ameloblastoma. It also depicts an unusual appreciation of cellular atypia and nuclear pleomorphism. This find may promote a new pathogenetic scenario to the current nosology of this debatable lesion and to the WHO taxonomy of benign ameloblastomas in 2005.

Future Dental Journal

Capsaicin is a pungent principle of hot red pepper. It is used in spices, food additives and drugs. In the present work, twenty rats were divided into two groups: control and capsaicin groups, each consisting of ten rats. The capsaicin group daily received a capsaicin dose equivalent to 0.1 mg/kg body weight dissolved in 0.5 ml distilled water by oro-oesophageal tube while the control group daily received 0.5 ml distilled water. After twenty one days, the submandibular salivary glands of both sides were excised, processed and examined histologically and ultrastructurally. Histological results revealed presence of pure mucous acini in the …

Introduction: Alveolar width deficiency represents loss of buccal cortical or/and medullary bone. Deficiency of the buccal represents significant difficulty in implant reconstruction. A variety of implant-driven bone augmentation techniques for the deficient alveolar bone have been proposed. Alveolar ridge split is an excellent tool for regaining alveolar ridge width. Material and method: Publications on the subject in English were searched to select articles up to June 2015. A systematic review was conducted searching an electronic database (MEDLINE, Pub- Med and Cochran) for articles in pre-reviewed journals concerning studies on humans. Two independent reviewers screened 815 papers. Result: A consensus on …
