Decision Making On Tooth Extraction In Orthodontics, Yu-Ting Sun, Chia-Tze Kao

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

Extraction or non-extraction is an issue that we face in our daily orthodontic practice. Before deciding the treatment plan, we have to examine the case carefully. Orthodontic tooth extraction involves more than just the need to create space in the arches but also the concerns of facial esthetics and treatment stability. The report presented a case of teenage boy with severe external root resorption of tooth 27, 37, 46, 47 which caused by impaction of third molars and a supernumerary premolar. Patient already had orthodontic treat-ment before and did not favor a comprehensive orthodontic treatment again. Tooth extraction of 27, …


Oral Biofilms: Development, Control, And Analysis, Daniela Berger, Aviva Rakhamimova, Andrew Pollack, Zvi G. Loewy 2018 Touro College of Pharmacy

Oral Biofilms: Development, Control, And Analysis, Daniela Berger, Aviva Rakhamimova, Andrew Pollack, Zvi G. Loewy

Touro College of Pharmacy (New York) Publications and Research

The oral cavity harbors hundreds of microbial species that are present either as planktonic cells or incorporated into biofilms. The majority of the oral microbes are commensal organisms. Those that are pathogenic microbes can result in oral infections, and at times can initiate systemic diseases. Biofilms that contain pathogens are challenging to control. Many conventional antimicrobials have proven to be ineffective. Recent advances in science and technology are providing new approaches for pathogen control and containment and methods to characterize biofilms. This perspective provides (1) a general understanding of biofilm development; (2) a description of emerging chemical and biological methods …

Short Length Versus Conventional Implants In Rehabilitation Of Completely Edentulous Mandible, Fardos N. Rizk, Engy Tallat, Mahmoud Elhomossany, Ahmed Lasheen Dr., Hebatalla Mahmoud

Dentistry

Various bone augmentation strategies have been proposed to overcome the anatomic and physiologic limitations of implant placement in patients with atrophic edentulous ridges. The use of short implants may provide an alternative treatment to avoid complications associated with alveolar bone augmentation. However, the clinical effectiveness of short implants versus long implants was not thoroughly investigated. Marginal bone height changes around short and conventional implants were evaluated in this study Methods: Fourteen completely edentulous male patients were selected and divided into two equal groups. Group (I) Patients received conventional complete maxillary dentures opposed by mandibular overdentures supported and retained by two …

The Effects Of Drug Abuse On Oral Health, Betzalel Krasnow 2018 Touro College

The Effects Of Drug Abuse On Oral Health, Betzalel Krasnow

The Science Journal of the Lander College of Arts and Sciences

Drug abuse, currently a national epidemic affecting millions of Americans, causes numerous health issues including increased dental disease. There are several factors which can contribute to an increase in caries and missing teeth. One of the most discussed mechanisms is xerostomia. Drug abusers tend to have large sugar intakes which exacerbates the problems caused by xerostomia. Drug abusers are also at risk for oral infections associated with dental decay due to their altered saliva composition. Unfortunately, once the symptoms are present there is little that can be done to correct them and the goal of the treating dentist should be …
