Rehabilitation by combined prosthesis is a therapy that requires a methodical approach especially in the case of large unilateral edentulous when all occlusal parameters are to be restored. The recording of the maxilla-mandibular position is requested at various stages of the treatment. In this context, the use of polymerized diagnostic wax up, is an evident tool for accurately recording and transfer of all occlusal data previously validated, yet concerning the global rehabilitation of unilateral distal edentulous, its stability and exact re-positioning at various prosthetic sequences remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to develop an original conception of the polymerized diagnostic wax up that will allow us to benefit from all its advantages in complex rehabilitation of edentulous unilateral of large extent.

BACKGROUND: Single visit root canal treatment (RCT) is being advocated around the world. This study profiles RCT in a Nigerian population and compares pattern of single versus multiple visit RCT to tooth type and skill level of the doctors. METHOD: A retrospective study was carried out on RCT performed in one year by fresh graduates and postgraduate dentists. Records retrieved included patients' sex and age, tooth type, location in the jaw and whether single- or multiple-visit RCT was done. RESULTS: Records of 705 teeth were reviewed, 54.6% belonged to females. Age range was 18-87 years, mean of 31.76 (± 12.31) years. Majority (70.1%) belonged to 20-39 years' age group. Most teeth were located in the maxilla (60.8%) and in posterior regions (73.6%). The most frequently root filled tooth was the mandibular first molar (20.7%) followed by maxillary central incisor (18.4%) then maxillary premolar (12.8%). However, all molars accounted for 47.3%, premolars 26.3% and incisors 25.0%. Canines (1.45%) were least frequently root-filled. Incisors (54.8%) were the teeth most frequently treated in single-visit followed by premolars (28.8%). Most frequently treated by multiple-visit were molars (51.0%). All doctors performed multiple-visit RCT in an approximately equal proportion but a significant percentage of single-visit RCT was carried out by senior doctors (71.2%). CONCLUSION: The most frequently root filled teeth were mandibular first molars. Teeth most likely to be treated by single-visit RCT were incisors. Appropriate operator skill and experience is important in the decision to perform single-visit RCT. Single-visit RCT is advocated in the developing environment.

BACKGROUND: A growing body of evidence suggests a relationship between periodontal disease and non-communicable systemic diseases with rising prevalence in developing countries, Nigeria inclusive. OBJECTIVES: To determine the periodontal status and its association with self-reported hypertension among non-medical staff in a university teaching hospital in Nigeria. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among non-medical staff using self-administered questionnaires and periodontal clinical examination between July and August 2013. Multivariate analysis was explored to determine the independent variables associated with self-reported hypertension. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: A total of 276 subjects were enrolled into the study. Shallow pockets (CPI code 3) constituted the predominant periodontal disease (46.7%), calculus (CPI code 2) 46%, bleeding gingiva (CPI code 1) in 3.3% and deep pockets ≥ 6mm (CPI code 4) in 2.2%. Self-reported hypertension was the most prevalent self-reported medical condition (18.1%) and found to be associated with periodontitis, increasing age, lower education, and a positive family history of hypertension. CONCLUSION: Periodontal disease was highly prevalent in this study. Self-reported hypertension was associated with periodontitis, older age, lower education and a positive family history. Periodic periodontal examination and regular blood pressure assessment for non-medical staff is recommended.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate dental decay incidence and DMF index, plaque index and gingival index, and to assess the satisfaction/dissatisfaction in acrylic removal partial denture wearers (ARPD) and in partial edentate no wearers. It aims to improve the therapeutic management in prosthetic oral rehabilitation in DR Congo. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective cohort interventional randomized study on 376 patients enrolled and divided into two groups (with and without denture prosthesis) was performed in University Clinics of Kinshasa, Kinshasa Medical Center and Clinic Glory during the period August 2008 to August 2010. RESULTS: Three hundred seventy-six patients (376) with 163 men (47 ± 16 years) and 213 women (42 ± 15 years) were followed. Of the 376 patients randomized, 189 were of "prosthesis" group and 187 were in the group "without aid". Both groups were regularly reviewed every 6 months for 2 years. Ten thousand four hundred and fifty-two (10452) teeth were examined (5149 teeth to the group "prosthesis" and 5303 for the teeth "without prosthesis" group. On hundred and twenty-nine (129) teeth that presented caries, 110 (82.96 per cent) are decayed teeth in the "prosthesis" group and 19 (17.04 per cent) are in the group "without prosthesis" (p = 0.00). The index Tooth Decayed, Missing, Filled (CAD) to start of the study for each group was 0.2. Two years after the index rose to 0.3 for the group "prosthesis" and remained steady (0.2) for the group "without prosthesis". The "prosthesis" group showed plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) above 0.99 (SD: ± 0.28) and 1.27 (SD: ± 0.43) than normal compared to those of the "no aid" group (0.46 ± 0.15 and 0.32 ± 0.12). The differences were statistically significant for both indices between the two groups (p = 0.00). Overall satisfaction rate for the "prosthesis" group was 26.4% while for the group "without prosthesis" satisfaction rate is 80.9%. CONCLUSION: This study shows that improved oral hygiene and regular check of the RPD acrylic resin carriers become a concern for establishing a true oral health policy.

Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease of the peri-implant mucosa with the loss of supporting bone. Because of the absence of an un-inflamed connective tissue zone between the healthy and diseased sites, peri-implant lesions are thought to progress more rapidly than periodontal lesions, suggesting the importance of early diagnosis and intervention if possible. A number of risk factors have been identified that may lead to the initiation and progression of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, eg., previous periodontal disease, poor plaque control, inability to clean, residual cement, smoking, genetic factors, diabetes, occlusal overload, rheumatoid arthritis, increased time of loading and alcohol consumption. At present there is not much literature available, highlighting the relationship between implant surface characteristics and peri-implant diseases. Implant surface characteristics vary with respect to topography, roughness and clinical composition, including turned, blasted, acid etched, porous sintered, oxidized, plasma sprayed and hydroxyapatite coated surfaces and their combinations. So the aim of this review is to explore the relationship between the characteristics of implant surface, the prevalence and incidence of peri-implantitis. This would help to identify plausible influence of surface characteristics, oral hygiene instructions and maintenance of implants for the long-term uneventful success of implant therapy.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study conducted to evaluate and compare the influence of different flask closure methods on linear dimensional changes of standardized simulated maxillary complete dentures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty casts were made from a silicone mold representing an edentulous maxillary arch. Thirty identical maxillary dentures were made and randomly assigned to 3 test groups (A, B, C). In Group A, flasks were placed directly in pressure clamp after trial closure. Group B: The final closure was done in a hydraulic press then transferred to pressure clamp. Group C: After trial closure flask was positioned between the two iron plates of the Restriction System flask closure (RSFC) method. Then linear distances were measured three times before and after polymerization: right incisor to left incisor (RI-LI), right premolar to left premolar (RPM-LPM), right molar to left molar (RM-LM) and left incisor- to- left molar (LI-LM) and right incisor- to- right molar (RI-RM) with the help of digital caliper with an accuracy of 0.01mm. ANOVA and Tuckey's test were used to compare the groups (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Inter molar (LM-RM) width showed the greatest dimensional change after processing and Linear dimensions were not significantly influenced by the packing procedure. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, Restriction System flask closure (RSFC) method demonstrated a similar performance in reducing the tooth movement when compared with other flask closure methods. The posterior region of the denture may present changes in the tooth position after processing, which need to be clinically adjusted.

Orthodontic needs to reply on a reliable anchoring as fixed as possible to ensure the best orthodontic movements. The orthodontic mini-screws provide a fixed anchorage for performing movements and treatments considered until then to be difficult or even impossible, particularly the treatment of ingression in the posterior area. The orthodontic anchorage mini-screw has the advantage of being cheaper, easier to place and do not require surgical procedure. This article illustrates two clinical indications of orthodontic mini-screws namely the intrusion of incisors and cross tooth movement.

INTRODUCTION: Orphanages are a high-risk group of oral health diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral hygiene attitudes among orphans living in Al Akkari orphanage in Rabat, Morocco. MATERIALS AND METHODS: cross sectional study was conducted among 165 orphans aged between 6 and 15 years-old at the orphanage Al Akkari in Rabat, between December 2012 and February 2013. The information collect was realized by direct questioning of all the residents. The questions were asked by a dentist and concerned the attitudes of the residents towards principles of oral hygiene, the possession of toothbrush and dentifrice, tooth brushing frequency and methods and the existence or not of a previous oral hygiene instruction was also reported. Seizure and statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 13.0 software. RESULTS: The results showed that 94.5 % of the orphans' children have a toothbrush and 90.2% among them have toothpaste. 98.2% of residents brushed their teeth and 83.3% of those who brushed their teeth do it regularly (daily). 49.4% of the orphans' children brushed their teeth vertically while 88.5% of them had already oral hygiene instructions. DISCUSSION: Attitudes of resident concerning tooth brushing regularity and the used method remains largely insufficient even if the orphans were informed of the importance of oral hygiene.

INTRODUCTION: This study was designed to analyse the treatment outcome of traumatized anterior teeth with delayed presentation among adult patients. METHOD: A longitudinal study carried out among adult patients with traumatized anterior teeth. Data was obtained by means of a pre-tested questionnaire consisting of history taking, clinical examination and record of treatment. Data collected was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science 21.0. RESULTS: Out of 163 patients who sought treatment for traumatized anterior teeth, 102 presented a month or more after the traumatic incident giving a prevalence rate of 62.3% for delayed presentation. The main reason for seeking treatment was disfigured teeth. More than half (57.8%) of the participants presented with one or more complications. Evaluation revealed that 3 (2.7%) of the participants had failed restoration at 1-month recall and this was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Delayed treatment has an implication on the type, complexity and cost of treatment. Evaluation after treatment for traumatized anterior teeth has to be done for a minimum of 3 months to ascertain optimal result. Oral health education should focus on the need to visit a dentist immediately after a traumatic episode with or without loss of dental hard tissue.

The purpose of this study is to find out what type of impression material is able to achieve a CAD-CAM (Procera) crown with minimal thickness at the dental-prosthetic interface, taking into account the effect of the oversize replica and dimensional variations of the impression materials over time. The accuracy of the marginal adaptation will therefore depend on the oversize replica of clinical preparation controlled by the constant K. Three different types of impression materials: medium viscosity polyether (Impregum 3M-ESPE, Germany), silicones polyvinyl siloxane A (Putty + Very Light) and (Heavy + Light) (Express 3M-ESPE, Germany), were used for making impressions of fifteen initial prototype maxillary teeth made of nickel chrome. The cast of the impressions were poured with plaster type IV (Zhermack, Italy), on which thirty Procera crowns were fabricated. The thickness of the dental-prosthetic interface was then studied at three levels: 0, 1 and 2 mm. The results show that the impression material has a statistically significant impact on the thickness of the dental-prosthetic interface at all three levels. The most compressive impression technique, Putty + Very Light gave the best results at the three levels pre-cited. The results analyzed under optical microscopy show a statistically significant difference between the three impression material products (p-value < 0.05). The calibration constant K, according to each clinical situation, can therefore lead to optimal dental-prosthetic inter-face.

BACKGROUND: Students’ perception of their education is a subject that has received very little attention by those providing dental school education. This is more so in the Nigerian environment, where limited research has been carried out in dental education, particularly with respect to the students’ perspectives on the quality of training received. OBJECTIVE: Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the perceptions of dental students and recent dental graduates in Nigeria on their level of satisfaction with the quality of academic and clinical training received in their respective dental schools and the challenges faced in receiving this training. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out amongst 271 dental students and recent dental graduates from eight dental schools in the country. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). Data collection was via self-administered questionnaires. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS 17. RESULTS: The final study sample was made up of 239 students, with a mean age of 24.57 (2.21) years. The two dental specialties in which the least level of satisfaction was recorded with regard to the quality of academic training received were Conservative Dentistry and Orthodontics, while for clinical training they were Conservative Dentistry and Oral Biology/Pathology. The three most common factors which were adversely affecting the quality of clinical training received were, poor electricity supply, insufficient dental chairs and quality of training received. CONCLUSION: Dental students and recent graduates of Nigerian Dental schools are not satisfied with the quality of undergraduate training received in some dental specialties at their respective dental schools.

INTRODUCTION: Primary lymphoma of the mandible are rare and most often revealed by painless swelling. They are often confused with odontogenic lesions. Hence, their diagnosis is delayed. The authors report the case of an isolated mandibular lymphoma revealed by hypoesthesia of the lower lip and enlargement of the left mandibular canal. CASE REPORT: A 35-year-old woman patient consulted for hemi-mandibular pain with episodes of left labial hypoesthesia. Clinically, we noted the presence of a vestibular tumor in front of tooth 34. A panoramic radiograph revealed that the left mandibular canal was widely enlarged, extending from the mandibular foramen to the mental foramen. The biopsy revealed a B-cell lymphoma. No other localization was found. After treatment with seven courses of a chemotherapy based on R-CHOP followed by local radiotherapy, the patient was in remission eighteen months after treatment. DISCUSSION: Primitive lymphoma of the mandible are rare; they represent about 0.6% of extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. They occur at any age and mainly affect males. They most often come out as a painless swelling, sometimes ulcerated in the mouth. They are often misdiagnosed as a dental problem. Treatment combines variably radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The prognosis of bone lymphoma is more favorable than others malignancies bone, with a survival rate of 40-50% at five years.

Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis usually benign that can affect skin, integuments and mucosal membranes. It is characterized by a disorder of keratinization and the polymorphism of clinical disease. Some of them correspond to a very intense lichen activity as erythematous, erosive and bullous forms, others concern mostly old forms of lichen planus as atrophic or hyperkeratotic and hypertrophic verrucous forms. In most of the cases, the OLP has a benign evolution but malignant transformation may occur warranting strict monitoring of the disease and effective treatment of exacerbations.

INTRODUCTION: In order to improve the prevention and treatment of dental caries in Burkina Faso, we conducted a study on the epidemiological and therapeutic aspects of dental caries in the dental services of University Teaching Hospital Yalgado Ouedraogo and in the Municipal Centre of Oral Health of Ouagadougou. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective and descriptive study from October, 15th 2012 to January, 15th 2013 was conducted on a sample of 191 patients. The variables recorded were: patient's identity, age, sex, area of residence, food mode, socioeconomic level, reason for consultation, oral hygiene, DMFT index, degree of tissue damage, the topography of the carious lesions and the applied therapy. RESULTS: Caries prevalence was 93.19% more female consultations, with sex ratio at 0.77. The average age was 31 years for a sample often engaged in trade and the informal sector. Carious lesions were usually limited to less than 4 teeth. The main motivation for the consultation was pain at 82.20%. CONCLUSION: The use of preventive care is quite low in our population. Extractions still occupy an important part of treatment. We need to improve oral hygiene and show to patients the necessity of routine visits to the dentist every year for early treatment.

BACKGROUND: The confection of a fixed prosthesis finds its indication in response to the patient's aesthetic and/or functional whose requirements are stronger in terms of satisfaction. This involves maintaining the stability of prosthetic reconstructions on a sufficiency long time. To achieve this, the preservation of periodontal health of the prosthetic abutments occupies a special choice. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal health of fixed prosthesis abutment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-nine patients having fixed prosthesis in the mouth for more than one year participated in our study. Ultimately, 38 single crowns and 27 seven bridges based on 100 abutments have been recorded. After an interview, clinical and radiographic examination was performed. It was to assess the level of oral hygiene, the health of the superficial and deep periodontal abutment using OHIS index of Green and Vermilion, periodontal index of Russel and mobility index of Mühlemann. RESULTS: On the 100 abutments examined, gingivitis (14%), gingival recession (13%), bone osteolysis (29%) and mobility (5%) were recorded. In addition, about 60% of patients had inadequate oral hygiene and less than 30% of them had a regular prosthetic maintenance. CONCLUSION: From this study, it appears that complications affecting periodontal prosthetic abutments are essentially bone lysed (29%), gingivitis (14%) and gingival recessions (13%).

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and unmet treatment need of traumatized incisor in 12-13 years old among Cameroonian Schoolchildren in the North West Province. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional survey among 12-13 years old children of selected rural and urban secondary schools in North West province of Cameroon was conducted between March and November, 2010. RESULTS: The majority of the 2287 studied children were females (50.2%) and urban dwellers (51.8%). Of the 2287 studied children, 45 of them exhibited evidence of incisor trauma giving a prevalence of 2.0%. This prevalence was higher in males than females (2.3% versus 1.7%) and also higher in urban than rural schools (2.2% versus 1.7%). Upper central incisor was the predominantly traumatized tooth and enamel fracture constituted 62.2% of incisor trauma. Fall and sports were the leading cause of incisor trauma in this study. Some minor variations in the causes of incisor trauma were found among gender and location. The prevalence of unmet treatment need was 91.1% which were mainly acid etch restoration. Males and rural dwellers had more unmet treatment need. CONCLUSION: Data revealed a low prevalence of traumatized incisor with high prevalence of unmet treatment needs among Cameroonian Schoolchildren in North West Province. Findings of this survey provide baseline information on prevalence and unmet treatment need for traumatized incisor among Cameroonian Schoolchildren in the North West Province.

INTRODUCTION: Access to cervical margins allows the practitioner to record the entire cervical margin in order to provide a true copy to the technician. This requires a gingival displacement obtainable by different techniques. This study aimed to assess the implementation of gingival displacement methods prior to impression taking in fixed prosthodontics. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional survey of sample of 71 dentists practising in Abidjan, Ivory Coast; which ran from October 2nd, 2010 to November 14th, 2010. A survey form was administered to dentists. The questionnaire was organised around the following headings: identification of dentists and practice of gingival displacement methods. The data processing done using software Epi Info 6 and Excel XP on Window XP, allowed calculation of frequencies, means and proportions and the establishment of connection between variables with the chi2 test. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS: The results of the survey indicate that non-surgical methods of gingival displacement, including retraction cords and temporary crowns are those they use most frequently (76.4%) because the vast majority of practitioners (87.22%) believe the most traumatic to the periodontium are surgical methods. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the gingival displacement methods are frequently carried out in daily practice, regardless of the topography of the abutment teeth and their number, but with a preference for non-surgical methods, particularly those using retraction cords and temporary crowns. The use of injectable gingival displacement paste is not harmful to the periodontal tissues, easy to use and have a very efficient haemostatic action. It should also be known and practiced.
