10-Minute Ebd: Are Neoplasms A Risk Factor For Peri-Implantitis?, Farah Safieddine Bs, Naama Sleiman Ms, Phd, Melanie E. Mayberry Dds, Ms-Hcm

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

This 10-Minute EBD column explores the potential association between neoplasms and the risk of peri-implantitis in patients with dental implants. A case study involving a patient with a history of an ossifying fibroma raises questions about the impact of neoplasms on implant success. The literature search, conducted on PubMed, reveals relevant insights. The evidence suggests that ossifying fibromas, particularly with augmentation, may pose a risk for peri-implantitis. However, the direct causative relationship between neoplasms and peri-implant pathology remains unclear. Other risk factors such as periodontitis, foreign bodies, and augmentation procedures are also discussed in the context of implant complications.

Periodontal Disease And Covid-19, Zhaozhao Chen Dds, Ms, Phd, Laurie K. Mccauley Dds, Ms, Phd, Purnima S. Kumar Bds, Ms, Phd, Hom-Lay Wang Dds, Ms, Phd

As the gateway to the respiratory system, the oral cavity can play an essential role in SARS-CoV-2 invasion and transmission. Besides high expression of angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the oral cavity can harbor viral particles in saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, and the periodontal pocket. Microbial and inflammatory associations closely link periodontitis and COVID-19. In this review, we summarize the possible oral manifestations of COVID‐19, its association with periodontal diseases, the plausible underlying mechanisms of microbial and inflammatory crosstalk between COVID‐19 and periodontal diseases, and mitigation protocols during periodontal treatment.

Open Your Eyes To 3d Imaging, Lea Al Matny Dds, Ms

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

This cover feature illuminates the transformative role of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dental diagnostics and treatment planning. As CBCT evolves from specialized to commonplace usage, its impact on various dental specialties, including oral surgery, periodontics, orthodontics, and general dentistry, becomes apparent. The article underscores the necessity of understanding CBCT's fundamental concepts and emphasizes the importance of customized imaging protocols tailored to patients' needs. Comprehensive evaluation of CBCT scans reveals anatomical variations, aids in detecting periapical pathosis, visualizing root fractures, assessing external cervical root resorption, and contributes to airway analysis. Moreover, the article explores CBCT's expanding role beyond implant …

Treatment Of Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Deficiency Around A Narrow Diameter Implant With Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft: A Case Report, Jaewon Kim Dds, Ms, Phd, Abhiram Maddi Dds Msc Phd

The New York State Dental Journal

Narrow diameter implants and mini-implants are preferred by dentists for restoration of missing teeth on narrow ridges. However, such implants are associated with long-term complications including soft tissue deficiencies. This case report describes a novel approach using a connective tissue graft to resolve peri-implant mucositis. A 66-year old male patient presented with inflammation and abscess in relation to a mini-implant, at the upper left incisor, on the facial aspect. Deficiencies of keratinized tissue and width of attached gingiva were observed. Surgical management was performed using subepithelial connective tissue. An 18-month follow up showed increased width of attached gingiva at the …

10-Minute Ebd: Factors Impacting Gingival Margin Position Following Esthetic Crown Lengthening, I-Ting (David) Lee

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

The esthetic crown lengthening procedure aims to address gingival concerns and achieve harmonious crown proportions. This article explores factors influencing gingival margin position post-surgical intervention, focusing on patients with excessive gingival display. The PICO question investigates gingival changes six months post-surgery. A comprehensive literature search using keywords such as "esthetic crown lengthening" and "gummy smile" identifies relevant articles. Results indicate varied outcomes, emphasizing the importance of individualized approaches. Notably, factors like flap margin suture placement impact tissue rebound. This study underscores the complexity of esthetic crown lengthening, emphasizing the need for tailored strategies to ensure optimal outcomes.

Septic Arthritis Of The Shoulder In A Dental Patient - A Case Report And Review, Elana Dolin Dmd, Leigh D. Perlmutter Dmd, Stuart L. Segelnick Dds, Mea A. Weinberg Dmd, Robert Schoor Dds

Individual Scholarship

Septic arthritis of the glenohumoral joint is rare following dental procedures, comprising approximately 3% of all joint infections. Septic arthritis following bacteremia from dental procedures is uncommon and generally occurs in prosthetic joints. Predisposing causes may include immunocompromising diseases such as diabetes, HIV infection, renal failure and intravenous drug abuse. We report a rare case of unilateral glenohumoral joint septic arthritis in a 60-year-old male patient (without a prosthetic joint) secondary to a dental procedure. The insidious nature of the presentation is highlighted. Septic arthritis infections, though rare, require a high level of clinical suspicion. Vague symptoms of shoulder pain …

A Survey Of Floss Frequency, Habit, And Technique In A Hospital Dental Clinic And Private, Stuart Segelnick Dds, Ms

Individual Scholarship

The purpose of the study was to determine floss frequency, habits and techniques of patients entering a private periodontal office (office site) vs. a hospital dental clinic (hospital site). It was found that the flossing frequency in a hospital dental clinic is far less than in a private practice, and patients who do floss may not be using the proper flossing technique. Patients need more instruction and care with regard to their interproximal oral hygiene.
