Periodontitis As A Risk Factor For Preterm Low-Birth Weight Babies: A Litterature Review, Shaju Jacob
Periodontitis As A Risk Factor For Preterm Low-Birth Weight Babies: A Litterature Review, Shaju Jacob
International Arab Journal of Dentistry
Periodontitis is reported to be associated with preterm low-birth weight (PLBW) and is claimed to be one of its risk factors. This literature review examines evidence supporting the role of periodontitis in the occurrence of PLBW. PubMed, medIND and WHO indices were searched for published studies, (cross-sectional, case-control, longitudinal, experimental) using the key words: pregnancy, periodontitis. There is enough evidence to implicate periodontitis as a risk factor for preterm low-birth weight even though recent studies haven’t shown a significant relation. New researches with population-specific definitions of PLBW and periodontal diseases must be done for a better assessment of the relation …

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), oral health status represents an indicator of the physical and psychological general state of a person, especially among the elderly. Many epidemiological studies have studied oral health among the geriatric population. In Lebanon, the lack of publications related to this subject encouraged us to realize a pilot study in order to evaluate oral health status among a Lebanese geriatric sample from low socioeconomic class. This study was conducted in a volunteer associational center (“Resto du Coeur”), by the Department of ediatric and community dentistry, in collaboration with the Department of prosthodontics of the …

L’objectif de cette étude in vitro est de comparer l’adhésion des S. mutans sur trois groupes d’adhésifs différents. 108 couronnes dentaires exemptes de carie et autres défauts amélaires sont choisies et calibrées à 4x3 mm2 avec 2mm d’épaisseur. Un échantillon de 36 brackets collés sur ces facettes d’émail avec du “Transbond XT™” (groupe de contrôle) est comparé respectivement à deux groupes d’échantillons identiques collés avec deux adhésifs différents “Transbond Plus™ Self Etching Primer” avec “Transbond XT™” (fluor) et “Clearfil Protect Bond™” avec pâte “Kurasper F™” (antibactérien et fluor). La méthode de culture cellulaire, Kit Dentocult, est adoptée pour compter les …

Teeth with open apices require a particular approach, which is to create an apical barrier and to hermetically seal large foramina. The objective of this study was to compare, in vitro, the apical seal obtained with MTA after its introduction into the canal with two different techniques. For this purpose, 102 maxillary and mandibular extracted teeth were selected. Root canals were shaped and randomly divided into two groups (n= 50 per group). The last five millimeters (mm) were filled with white MTA by two different techniques: MTA powder mixed with distilled water and MTA powder and distilled water introduced separately. …

The stability of the color of the provisional crowns is particularly important when the treatment plan requires temporary restorations. This stability depends on the capacity of the material to resist absorption and crumbling in solutions. The aim of this article was to evaluate, in vitro, the variation of the rate of the optical density during 15 days of four types of provisional materials soaked in two solutions. Four types of provisional materials available on the Lebanese market: two polymethyl methacrylates (PMMA: Jet®, Tab2000®) and two composite resins (Integrity® and Tempspan®) were evaluated after 1,7 and 15 days of immersion in …

En 1953, Slaughter et coll. ont proposé le concept de champ de cancérisation en étudiant la présence, à l’échelle histologique, de cellules anormales entourant le carcinome épidermoïde. Il a été observé que tout l’épithélium au-delà des frontières de la tumeur présentait des changements histologiques, en plus d’une zone indépendante libre de malignité. En conclusion, l’épithélium subit un changement, peut être en raison de l’exposition à des substances cancérigènes et devient donc plus propice au développement de plusieurs foyers de transformation maligne. Ces observations aident à expliquer la haute incidence de écidive, malgré l’excision tumorale associée ou non à d’autres thérapies. …
