Sahar Ghodsi Bushehri, Farzaneh Khajeh, Somayeh Heidari, Shahla Momeni Danaei,
Volume 26, Issue 2 (5-2013)
Abstract

Background and Aims: Skeletal class III malocclusions are considered as one of the most complex and difficult orthodontic problems to diagnose and treat. Facial appearance and occlusion problems make the patients to seek treatment as soon as possible. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of early treatment with facemask compared to the patients who had no treatment.

Materials and Methods: For this retrospective study, 38 growing patients (mean age, 8.5 years old) with class III dentoskeletal malocclusion were divided into 2 groups. 23 patients were treated with facemask and 15 patients who did not receive any treatment were assigned as control group. Lateral cephalograms were taken before and after treatment and dentoskeletal changes were estimated. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed ranks test.

Results: The results revealed statistically significant forward displacement of maxillary bone and upper incisors (P<0.001), and downward-backward rotation of mandible in facemask group (P<0.001). Increased lower facial height was seen in both treatment and untreated groups. However, in untreated group some measurements revealed forward displacement of maxillary complex as well.

Conclusion: It seems that in class III patients treating with facemask is a better choice than ChinCap and decision making for early treatment in class III patients should be considered seriously. Moreover, specific attention to the type of patient’s skeletal discrepancy is necessary. In class III patients, facemask might be a better option than other appliances.


Step by step procedure for treatment of a patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate: A case report

Volume 31, Issue 3 (11-2018)
Abstract
Background and Aims: Cleft lip and palate is among challenging dentistry problems that calls for a multidisciplinary treatment approach. The treatment protocols in adults aims to improve function, appearance, and psychological conditions. The present article aimed in introducing the procedure of conventional prosthesis application for treatment of an adult patient focusing on complicated intra-operatory challenges.
Materials and Methods: A 52-year-old male patient was referred for correcting his functional deficiency resulted from bilateral cleft lip and palate. After surgical stent fabrication and vestibuloplasty, transitional prosthesis was fabricated using “Melted-sugar method”. Six month later, Richmond copings and fixed prostheses were made and the treatment was completed by delivery of mandibular removable partial prosthesis and maxillary obturator. Finding the correct position of hard palate, not interfering with normal phonetic, and hollowing his obturator, along with stablishing correct vertical dimension were among several challenges call for special considerations.
Conclusion: Following sound procedure, the conventional prosthetic treatment could be considered as an acceptable and applicable treatment option for adults suffering from untreated cleft palate, who are not good candidates for more complicated treatment procedures.

Volume 31, Issue 4 (1-2019)
Abstract
Background and Aims: Despite the increasing application of intra-oral scanners, the effect of finish line position on gingival margins adaptation is still discussed. The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the fitness of cobalt-chromium copings obtained from intraoral scanning in two depth of finish lines.
Materials and Methods: Thirty teeth prepared for single premolar metal-ceramic crowns were included. Fifteen teeth had supragingival and fifteen had sub-gingival finish lines. Digital impressions were made using an intraoral scanner (Trios-3shape). Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) cobalt-chromium copings were fabricated from the scan files. The copings were evaluated intraorally and after adjustments, the internal and marginal discrepancy were measured using silicone replicas and a stereomicroscopy. Internal and marginal discrepancies were analyzed using the Multivariate test (P<0.05).
Results: The mean internal and marginal gap were 52.1 and 56.27μ, for supragingival group and 49.72 and 62.98μ for subgingival group, respectively. The evaluation of finish line position showed no significant effect on obtained results (P>0.05).
Conclusion: CAD/CAM chrome-cobalt copings fabricated by digital impressions provided acceptable marginal and internal precision. However, the finish line position had no significant effect on the internal and marginal adaptation.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Immediate implant placement following tooth extraction is a treatment with many advantages. Alveolar bone preservation after immediate implant, need minimum of 2 mm thickness in buccal bone plate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thickness of buccal cortical bone of maxillary premolars by Cone Beam Computational Tomography (CBCT) technique.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive epidemiological study, Cone Beam Computed Tomography image was obtained from 29 patients (male and female) referred to the radiology department of Jundi Shapoor dental school of Ahvaz from 1393 (Mehr) to 1394 (Shahrivar) for implant insertion insertion. The thickness of buccal cortical bone was measured in 3 and 5 mm apical to the CEJ and root apex, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. All the measurements were done by two oral and maxillofacial radiologists, separately. Data were analyzed by SPSS22 software, using descriptive statistics, and T-test.
Results: The thickness of buccal cortical bone in second premolar was significantly more than 1 mm (P=0.001), but in first premolar, the thickness was close to 1 mm with a non-significant difference (P=0.29).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that immediate implant insertion could be done in the maxillary second premolar area with more predictability compared to the first premolar area.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Removable partial denture (RPD) is a common treatment to restore partially edentulous areas; however, a limited number of studies have been made on oral hygiene habits among patients with RPD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the patients’ knowledge about various cleaning methods of RPD to consciously improve hygienic habits of the patients.
Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study performed on 96 RPD patients referred to Jundishapur faculty of dentistry from 1395 to 1396. Demographic data namely age, sex, level of education, and other information about general health status, duration of dentures usage, and denture cleaning frequency were taken by the census through questionnaires. The descriptive statistics, chi-square, and T-test were used for statistical analysisof data (P<0.05).
Results: The patient age, sex, and smoking habits had significant effects on the prosthesis maintenance habits (P<0.05). The patients over 50 years of age, females, and nonsmokers significantly preferred dipping method over other RPD storage methods (P<0.05). The frequency of denture cleaning was significantly greater in males (53.3%) compared to females (23.9%) (P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, most RPD patients did not clean their dentures appropriately and have little knowledge on how to maintain and clean them. Regular and periodic recall and written instructions might be helpful to improve patients' awareness on proper cleaning and maintenance of partial dentures.
