ABSTRACT Introduction: Aggressive periodontitis causes periodontal destruction, with loss of supporting alveolar bone. The common symptom is rapid attachment loss in the first molar and incisor area, in young adults. Objective: The aim of this study was to discuss the challenges, implications and the impact of orthodontic treatment in patients affected by severe periodontal problems, specifically aggressive periodontitis. Discussion: In addition to other bacteria, the main pathogen involved in aggressive periodontitis is the Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. However, the susceptibility to the disease differs among individuals, being immune deficiencies the main reason for this variability. Many orthodontists are not comfortable about performing treatments on individuals with aggressive periodontitis. Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment is feasible in young patients with severe and localized aggressive periodontitis, as long as the limitations imposed by the disease are respected. An interdisciplinary approach is required, with frequent periodontal follow-up before, during and after orthodontic treatment, allowing the correction of dental positions without aggravating bone loss.

<p><strong><em>Background:</em></strong><em> One of the most common inflammation disease in the oral cavity for the past few years is the aggressive form of periodontitis. Common signs of aggressive periodontitis is the mobility of teeth especially in incisive and first molars, and occuring mostly in young patient. Young patients whose losing her anterior teeth, are a real challenge for dentist and prosthodontist. Prosthodontist need to consider both functional and esthetic aspects. <strong>Objective:</strong> Rehabilitation of young adult patient with aggressive periodontitis by an interdisciplinary approach of orthodontist and prosthodontist. <strong>Case Description:</strong> A young woman, suffered from aggressive periodontitis with major complain of her teeth mobility, especially incisive and first molar in mandible. She had undergone periodontal treatment, but the result was failed. The anterior teeth in mandible need to be extracted, therefore patient wished not to be in edentulous state. As preliminary treatment, we choose immediate denture to replace the anterior mandible teeth. We faced difficulties in mandible, because her right canine weren’t in the proper dental arch. So we asked orthodontist to place fixed orthodontics in mandible, to get the canine back in the proper arch. We’ve chosen orthodontic treatment,because we didn’t want to extract the canine teeth. We evaluated in six months and after the canine back in the proper arch, we proceed to long span bridge in mandible as our definitive treatment. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> By not extracting the canine teeth, we got some advantages, especially patient psychically was happier with her own teeth. The collaboration with another dentistry field, provides us better treatment for patient. After treatment, patient had no complaints and was happy with her new smile.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em>  Prosthodontic rehabilitation, aggressive periodontitis, orthodontic treatment, esthetic</em><em>.</em></p><strong><em>Correspondence:</em></strong><em> Chaterina Diyah Nanik.

For the treatment of impacted maxillary canines, traction associated with a complete orthodontic treatment is the first choice in young patients. However, in adults, this treatment has a worse prognosis. The surgical extraction of the impacted tooth can result in a series of complications and a compromised alveolar bone integrity, which may lead to the requirement of a bone regeneration/grafting procedure to replace the canine with a dental implant. These case reports aimed to describe an alternative treatment procedure to the surgical extraction of impacted maxillary canines in adults. Following clinical and computerized tomography-scan (CT-Scan) examination, the possibility of maintaining the impacted canine in its position and replacing the temporary canine present in its place with a dental implant was planned. A short dental implant with an immediate provisional crown was placed, without contacting the impacted canine. At 3 months follow-up, a definitive metal-ceramic restoration was placed. Follow-up visits were performed periodically. The implant site showed a physiological soft tissue color and firmness, no marginal bone loss, no infection or inflammation, and an adequate aesthetic result in all follow-up visits. These results suggest that the treatment carried out is a valid option to rehabilitate with an osseointegrated short implant area where a canine is included, as long as there is a sufficient amount of the remaining bone.

Abstract BackgroundThe increase rate seen in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) for younger patients has implications for future rehabilitation demands for primary and revision THA surgery. This study aims to determine the impact of a 6-week post-operative rehabilitation program designed for THA patients ≤ 60 years on physical activity (PA) and function compared to age- and a sex-matched control group received usual postoperative care at 12-week post-THA. MethodsIn this quasi-experimental study, a cohort of THA candidates was recruited during their 6-week postoperative visit to their surgeons. The out-patient rehabilitation program consisted of 12 structured exercise classes (2 hrs/class) over 6 weeks. Physical activity was assessed using Sense Wear Pro ArmbandTM [SWA]. Participants completed the Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), and THA satisfaction questionnaire before and immediately after the intervention. ResultsThe intervention group took significantly more steps/day at the follow-up compared to baseline. The intervention group had a higher mean change in the number of weekly PA bouts than the control group. Within the intervention groups, all HOOS subscales were significantly higher at the follow-up compared to baseline. ConclusionThe augmented rehabilitation program may have immediate effects on pain relief and symptom reduction for patients (≤60 years) following THA.

Destructive forms of periodontal disease in children are uncommon. Severe periodontal destruction can be a manifestation of a systemic disease; however, in some patients, the underlying cause of increased susceptibility and early onset is still unknown. Objective: To describe an effective therapeutic approach to Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis (GAgP) in children, based on a 3-1/2 year-old male patient referred to the Hospital due to early loss of incisors, gingivitis,and tooth mobility in his primary dentition. Intraoral examination revealed severe gingival inflammation,dental abscesses, pathological tooth mobility, bleeding upon probing and attachment loss around several primary teeth. Dental radiographs revealed horizontal and vertical bone loss. Treatment consisted on the extraction of severely affected primary teeth, systemic antibiotics, deep scaling of remaining teeth and strict oral hygiene measures. Once the patient's periodontal condition was stabilized, function and esthetics were restored with "pedi-partials." After a follow-up period of nearly 4 years, the patient's periodontal status remains healthy, facilitating the eruption of permanent teeth. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and good treatment regimen may provide an effective therapeutic management of Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis.

Background: Cyclic neutropenia (CN) is a rare congenital disease that can present with recurrent oral ulcers and periodontitis. CN can easily be misdiagnosed as major recurrent aphthous stomatitis (MaRAS) or aggressive periodontitis (AP) in dental clinics. We describe the case of an 8-year-old boy with CN, and compare the oral manifestations of CN with those of MaRAS and AP. Case report: An 8-year-old boy presented with a history of recurrent oral ulcers, periodontal destruction, pharyngitis and otitis media since the age of 3 months. Repeated, routine blood tests showed 1-week-long neutropenic periods that occurred at intervals of 2 weeks. A bone marrow cytology test during a neutropenic period demonstrated a decrease in granulocyte count. During a 2-year follow-up, his symptoms were well controlled by regular administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and periodontal maintenance. Conclusion: Several clinical features help to differentiate CN from MaRAS and AP. Early recognition of the systemic cause of oral symptoms is important.

Bone defects seen in severe sagittal discrepancies between the maxilla and mandible do not solely qualify for orthodontic treatment. An interdisciplinary approach with the aid of a surgical, orthodontic, and periodontal team should be implemented in the treatment of such cases. Despite the use of standard treatment methods, the therapy is always planned and carried out individually for each patient. The surgical treatment of bone defects in the area of the jawbones is associated with a number of potential complications. Regenerative medicine, which has already been practiced in reconstructive surgery, is now gradually receiving more attention in the treatment of orthognathic defects. We developed a method for the reconstruction of the alveolar bone in the sagittal dimension using 3D allogenic graft blocks, as a preparing feature in the orthodontic treatment of borderline cases or as a treatment option for complications arising during general orthodontic treatment.

Abstract Introduction: Multiple Myeloma (MM) is an incurable disease. In young patients, autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) remains a cornerstone treatment after induction therapy. Induction therapy has varied during time, from alkylating polychemotherapy (VBAD,VCMP) or VAD chemotherapy (AVAD) to Velcade-Dexametasone based regimens (VD). We present results of follow-up of a large cohort of patients treated with ABMT. We described overall survival (OS; from transplant to death by any cause) and progression free survival (PFS; from transplant to death by any case or progressive disease defined by reappearance by inmunofixation, or duplication of monoclonal peak after ABMT) , and the impact of induction therapy regiments. Patients: 183 patients transplanted from 2002 to 2017. The median age of the patients was 59 years (33-72). Before 2008 all the patients were treated in alkylating based chemotherapy (42 patients). After 2008 patients were treated with VD based regimens (141patients). Only 12 patients received maintenance therapy based in PETHEMA trials 2005 and 2012. No one patient received a planed second transplant; only 32 patients received a second transplant after relapse as consolidation therapy. Results: Median follow-up of patients still alive is 3.65 years (0.15-14.77). Median OS of all patients was 9.12 years (95% confidence interval (CI): 6.28-NR); Median PFS was 3.02 years(95% CI: 2.46-3.76). At 13 years only 2% of patients remains progression free (CI: 0.00-17%). There were significant differences between patients treated before and after VD regimens. The median OS of patients treated with APVAD was significantly shorter compared to VD (6.22 years, CI[3.39-12] vs. NR, CI[6.28-NR], p=0.025) (HR=0.49, p=0.01). Conclusions: VD schemes of induction before ABMT have improved remarkably OS inpatients with Myeloma; nonetheless, plateau is not observed in EFS. Further analysis must address if EFS could represent a strong indicator of OS, mainly due to novel effective salvage therapies after relapse/refractoriness could be a confounding factor. Figure.
