Localized Juvenile Spongiotic Gingival Hyperplasia: A Case Report, Chanekrid Oupadissakoon, Narissaporn Chaiprakit, Weerachai Singhatanadgit

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Localized juvenile spongiotic gingival hyperplasia (LJSGH) is a recently discovered oral lesion in children and young adults, which can be misdiagnosed with gingivitis associated with dental plaque and other well recognized reactive lesions. Clinically, JSGH presents as bright red gingival overgrowth with papillary surface, most commonly at attached and marginal gingivae of the upper anterior region. Differential diagnoses may include pyogenic granuloma, peripheral giant cell granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma and hyperplastic gingival inflammation. Histologically distinctive, JSGH is characterized by non-keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium with papillary architecture, intense neutrophilic exocytosis and spongiosis. The objectives of the present case report were to …


Treatment Considerations For Skeletal Class Iii Orthognathic Surgery, Janeta Chavanavesh, Kanok Soratesn Sep 2016

Treatment Considerations For Skeletal Class Iii Orthognathic Surgery, Janeta Chavanavesh, Kanok Soratesn

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Class III malocclusion treatment is challenging to orthodontists because of its genetic basis and tendency for relapse following treatment. In adult patients, this malocclusion can be treated by either camouflage or combined orthodontic and surgical treatment. Since there are complexity in several aspects for Class III malocclusion, particularly in the case where the surgery is required, the aim of this review was to gather information concerning the etiologies, treatment strategies, and treatment considerations, especially for the orthognathic surgical treatment of skeletal Class III patients.


A Swing Arm Design Dental Surveyor, Vichet Chindavanig Sep 2016

A Swing Arm Design Dental Surveyor, Vichet Chindavanig

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

The objective was to design and fabricate a dental surveyor using fewer complicated custom made industrial metal parts, thus minimizing production cost. The product design allows working with dental casts of varied dimensions. Current products were analyzed using machine design synthesis. The components of the new surveyor design are predominantly prefabricated objects. The formulation method is comparable with an inverse kinematic engineering approach. A swing arm dental surveyor design was found to be efficient for general dental use at a lower production cost. This article describes the design and assembling method of a dental surveyor made from local common products …

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Background/Objective To evaluate the effect of three screw-tightening methods on the screw loosening resistance of two dental implant systems. Materials and methods Fifteen Simple Line II dental implants and 15 CU dental implant abutments were screw tightened to their implant fixtures to the manufacturerûs recommended torque using three tightening methods (method 1: tightening the screw one time, method 2: tightening the screw and retightening the screw after 10 min, method 3: tightening the screw, loosening the screw, retightening the screw, and then retightening the screw after 10 min). After a 106-cycle fatigue test, the reverse torque values were measured. The …


Pneumatization Of The Sphenoid Sinus On A Panoramic Radiograph, Pipop Sutthiprapaporn, Pornpop Rattana-Arpha May 2016

Pneumatization Of The Sphenoid Sinus On A Panoramic Radiograph, Pipop Sutthiprapaporn, Pornpop Rattana-Arpha

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

The paranasal sinuses are composed of a set of structures of the maxillofacial region and its proximity to the oral cavity. The sphenoid sinus is located within the body of the sphenoid bone. However, an excessive pneumatization of this structure may cause difficulties in radiographic diagnosis, particularly with panoramic radiographs. This article describes a case of pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus in the pterygoid process and greater wing of the sphenoid bone, presented on a panoramic radiograph. Cone beam computed tomography in axial and coronal sections was performed to confirm the pneumatization of these structures.

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Objective To evaluate the allergic reaction of skin and oral mucosa to acemannan orabase in a shortterm observation. Materials and methods Forty-eight healthy subjects (24 females and 24 males) participated in this study. The closed patch test was used to observe and compare the skin reaction after exposure to 0.5% acemannan orabase and plain orabase (gelatin, pectin, carboxymethylcelluose sodium, liquid paraffin, and polyethylene glycol) for 48 and 72 hours. For the oral mucosal reaction, the repeated oral application test was performed. The participants were instructed to apply the 0.5% acemannan orabase onto their lower labial mucosa 3 times per day …

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Background Edentulous patients with severe bone loss encounter lower complete denture (L-CD) instability problems. Mini dental implant (MDI) retained L-CDs are an alternative treatment for unstable L-CD patients. This study subjectively and objectively evaluated masticatory efficiency before and after MDI retained L-CD treatment. Materials and methods The subjects received 4 MDIs in the anterior mandible to retain their L-CD. Masticatory efficiency was evaluated after using their L-CD at least 3 months prior to MDI placement, 1 month after L-CD loading, and 3 months after L-CD loading. The subjective evaluation used a four-point rating scale questionnaire to assess chewing performance to …

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of Biodentine and MTA in the presence and absence of blood in simulated furcation perforation cavities using microcomputed tomographic (micro-CT) assessment. Materials and methods Furcation perforation cavities were prepared on 64 extracted human mandibular first molars. Samples were randomly divided into 4 groups: Biodentine with blood contamination group, Biodentine without blood contamination group, MTA with blood contamination group, and MTA without blood contamination group. All samples were scanned using microcomputed tomography to measure cavity volume and material volume at initial setting time and at 24 hours after setting. …
