Aim. Investigate the need of the population for treatment of inflammatory parodontal diseases and the degree of motivation and compliance with treatment and following the dentist’s recommendations.Methods. 427 patients aged 18 to 85 were evaluated by means of the index of assessment of periodontal tissues’ state (CPITN, 1980) and the questionnaire. Patients were divided into two groups: the first group included 143 people diagnosed with parodontitis who had previously received parodontal treatment, and the second group consisted of 284 patients who were not previously aware of their periodontal status. All obtained numerical values were subjected to statistical analysis.Results. Symptoms of periodontal inflammation were identified in 84.5% of cases, in most cases moderate severity of periodontitis was diagnosed. Severity of inflammation of the periodontal tissues is similar in males and females, besides there is no significant difference in inflammation signs observed in patients older than 45 years. Despite the fact that the patients of the first group knew about their disease, their degree of motivation in oral hygiene does not differ from that of patients from the second group who have periodontitis of almost the same severity, but did not know about the disease or did not go to a dentist complaining of periodontium pathology. Despite the 100% motivation in oral hygiene of patients previously diagnosed with periodontitis only 50% of them take regular treatment and preventive measures and demonstrate compliance with treatment and prevention.Conclusion. Obtained data demonstrate the significant need for periodontal treatment along with poor compliance with prescribed treatment.

The aim of this work was to determine the values of plaque accumulation indices and oral hygiene indices, to conduct a comparative assessment before the start of multimodality therapy in patients with mild and moderate parodontitis and after its completion among the adult population of the Chuvash Republic. The study of index evaluation values of 146 patients aged 33–62 years with a diagnosis "chronic generalized parodontitis of mild and moderate severity" was conducted. The age range was determined by the criteria for dividing the age groups according to WHO data – early adult (25–35 years), middle adult (36–45 years), late adult (46-60 years). The examination was carried out according to standard clinical methods of simplified oral hygiene index OHI-s (according to Green – Vermillion), dental plaque hygiene index (PI) Silness-Loe (1964), evaluation of the state of periodontal tissues PI (by Russel). The authors present the criteria for evaluating the indices before the start of standard treatment and after its completion for all the studied patients and in groups with mild and moderate severity of chronic generalized parodontitis. The authors give as well a comparative analysis of the patients’ index assessment depending on the severity of the disease, the dynamics of the infection resolution in groups with different degrees of of parodontitis severity.

SUMMARYPurpose: The aim of this paper is to document the oral hygiene and nutrition habits of young people (aged 18 to 25) in Greece.Material and Methods: In a random sample of 100 people in Greece aged 18 to 25, a questionnaire including 23 questions (4 demographical and 19 other) was given. The frequency, the usual reason for visiting the dentist, the frequency of brushing, the type of toothbrush and the criteria for choosing toothbrush and toothpaste were searched. The nutrition habits were recorded as frequency in receiving sugar or no sugar meals during the day. The statistical analysis included frequencies and the use of chi-square test for interrelation with the demographical questions.Results: 72% of the sample visits the dentist at least once a year, while the reason for visiting was prevention in 69%. 85% brushes at least twice a day, and the same percentage uses medium hardness toothbrush. The choice of the toothpaste is based on flavour and fragrance in 25%. The frequency of receiving sugar meals was recorded as 45% once daily and 43% in 2 or 3 times daily (p<0.05 between smokers and non smokers). 78% of the young people receives less than 5 meals and snacks per day. There was no statistically significant difference between different available monthly budgets in the sample for the oral hygiene and nutrition habits.Conclusion: More than 1/3 of young people in Greece aged 18 to 25 visits the dentist at least once yearly for prevention and uses medium hardness toothbrush. The frequency of sugar consumption was significantly higher in smokers when compared to non smokers. Statistically significant differences were not observed between males and females except for the frequency in brushing (p<0.05). A review of the literature was performed for issues related to this project.

Abstract Introduction Basal angle, Boogaard’s angle, and clival angle are frequently used in diagnosing the craniometric angle malformations either on radiography or now more on MRI. But anatomic and clinical studies have used varied terms for these parameters. We aimed to look for these parameters among a normal south Indian adult population to standardize the measurements and their terminology. Materials and Methods One hundred MRI images (50 males and 50 female) were studied retrospectively. MRI images that were reported as normal by neuroradiologist were taken up for the study. Mean and the standard deviation of males and females were calculated for basal angle, Boogaard’s angle, and clival angle, separately. Unpaired t-test was used to analyze the significant difference (p < 0.05) between the genders. The intraclass coefficient correlation was used to analyze the interobserver variability. Results The mean value of basal angle in males and females are 113°and 114°, respectively. The mean value of Boogaard’s angle in males and females are 120°and 121°, respectively. The mean value of clival angle in males and females are 157°and 155°, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) between males and females in all three angles. Conclusion Knowledge about the normal angles will be an important tool in understanding the normal and abnormal skull base. Since the type of skull varies in accordance with race, the normal craniometric angle also varies in accordance with race. The present study tried to standardize the parameters of normal skull base angles for appropriate correction of the anomalies and uniform usage of terminology.

Aim. To reveal the rate and severity of clinical manifestations of common dental diseases and dentofacial anomalies in professional athletes Methods. The effect of intense physical exertion and overtraining syndrome on the state of the organs and tissues of the dental system were examined in 200 professional athletes aged 1825 years between 2014 and 2016. Five groups where each has the same number of athletes (n=40) included: team sport athletes (volleyball, handball), martial arts athletes (wrestling, boxing), gymnasts, swimmers, athletes. The control group consisted of 40 individuals who were not professionally involved in sports. The state of the oral cavity, in particular periodontal tissues, was judged by changes in the following indicators: prevalence of dentofacial anomalies, the incidence of dental caries, state of the oral cavity hygienic using by simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S) ( Green J.С., Vermillion J.R., 1963), degree of gums bleeding by using the MuhlemannCowell bleeding index, degrees of severity of periodontopathy by using the papillary-marginal alveolar index (RMA) [Massler, Schour (1949) in Parma modification (1960)]. Results. According to the values of the simplified oral hygiene index the worst state of the oral cavity hygienic was in wrestlers (2.120.022 points) and boxers (2.030.029) compared to the control group (1.620.026, p=0.049 and p=0.001, respectively). Catarrhal gingivitis and generalized chronic periodontitis are most often diagnosed in the groups of wrestling (82.56.01%), gymnastics (77.56.60%), boxing (70.07.25%) and swimming (70.07.25%). Dentoalveolar anomalies were more often detected in boxers (77.5% of cases, p=0.001) and in gymnasts (34.0%, p=0.365) compared to the control group. In these groups, diastema was also more often diagnosed. Conclusion. Periodontal inflammation indicators were higher in wrestlers and gymnasts groups compared to the dental status of all other groups of athletes; caries and maximum level of dental anomalies are more common for boxers.

The aim of this prospective study was to determine the effectiveness of caries preventive measures started during pregnancy on the caries experience of first-time mothers and their infants. Eighty-one pregnant women with low social background were selected on the basis of the presence of active carious lesions and were randomly divided into control (38) and experimental (43) groups. The initial dental status (DMFS and white spot lesions) was established through clinical examination. The prophylactic measures were repeated during pregnancy and 6 and 12 months after delivery. Both groups received primary care intervention. They were instructed in relation to the etiologic factors of dental caries and received oral hygiene kits. Oral hygiene instructions were reinforced through interactive brushing. The experimental group also received antimicrobial treatment (topical application of NaF and iodine solution immediately after prophylaxis and 3 and 5 days later) and restorative care using glass ionomer cement. By the time the children were 2 years of age, 33.3% of the infants in the control group and 14.7% in the experimental group had caries activity. A significant difference in caries prevalence was observed between children with and without visible dental plaque. The mean number of tooth surfaces with carious lesions (including areas of demineralization) was higher among the children in the control group compared to the experimental group (6.3 x 3.2), however, with no statistical significance. Maternal caries increase was a significant factor influencing the caries experience of the children. These data support the evidence of an association between caries prevalence in young children and clinical (dental plaque) and maternal factors.

Introduction: Patients with visual impairment present greater difficulty in achieving adequate oral hygiene due to restricted eyesight. Therefore, oral hygiene motivation and instruction methods should be adapted to these patients to understand the importance of bacterial plaque control, both for the health of dental tissues and periodontal tissues Objective: The objective of the present study was to compare the plaque index (PI) of patients with and without visual impairment before and after the institution of oral hygiene instructions through a Randomized Clinical Trial. Twenty patients with visual impairment (Group 1) from the Instituto dos Cegos and 20 without visual impairment (Group 2) from the ASCES Periodontia Clinic were selected. Data were collected through the IP of O'Leary and reevaluated every 21 days for four sessions. Results: in both groups, the mean of PI decreased with the time of evaluation, with a significant difference between the evaluations (p <0.001). Group 1 had a mean PI higher than group 2 only in the fourth evaluation, but there was no significant difference (p> 0.05). As for the mean of the PI assessments, group 2 presented a mean higher than group 1, but without significant difference (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The study therefore suggests that there is no difference in PI in patients with or without visual impairment, and that the guidelines stimulate and motivate an improvement in oral hygiene conditions.

Efficacy Assessment

The aim: Efficacy assessment of herpesvirus infection drug prophylaxis (HVI) manifestations in the mouth of patients with chronic herpes-associated generalized periodontitis (CHGP) of moderate severity during and shortly after closed curettage. Materials and methods: The total of 87 patients with CHGP of moderate severity aged 35-60 years were examined and divided into groups according to the presence of HVI: Group I (main) included 48 patients who had herpesvirus infection; group II (comparison) – 39 patients who were not found herpesvirus infection. Group III was formed based on the data of out-patient medical reports retrospective analysis and was used to compare the number of complication cases. The control group included 20 patients with intact periodontium. Prior to treatment, patients in group I, was additionally assigned multicomponent phytocomplex. The treatment efficacy was assessed by the concentration dynamics of A, G, M immunoglobulins, circulating immune complexes (CIC) and sIgA, hygienic and periodontal indices, as well as by the dynamics of gum fluid and the recovery terms. Results: The study on the dynamics of clinical indices and some humoral immunity indices confirmed the main group patients after closed curettage had positive shifts in sIgA, IgA, IgG, IgM and CIC levels. Their indices did not have a statistically significant difference with similar indicators of the comparison group. In group I, complications in the form of HVI manifestations in the buccal mucous membrane (BMM) were found in 8.33% of patients, which had a statistically significant difference (p <0.001) from the percentage of patients with HVI, with complications in group III (35.71% ). The recovery terms for patients in group I were by 16.7% shorter than the similar terms in group III. Conclusions: The results obtained indicate that the phytocomplex used by us can be applied as an immunomodulatory agent for the prevention of herpes virus infection manifestations in the oral cavity of patients with interventions in BMM and periodontal tissues.

Abstract Background: Determining the extent of seropositivity of SARS-CoV-2 antibody has the potential to guide prevention and control efforts. We aimed to determine the sero prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibody among adults in the general population of Diredawa, Ethiopia. Method: Community based cross-sectional survey was conducted among random sample of 648 adult population in Diredawa from June 15 to July 30, 2020 using interview and blood sample collection. Participants were asked about demographic characteristics, COVID-19 symptoms and adherence to preventive measures. Sero-prevalence was determined using SARS-CoV-2 IgG test.Result: The estimated SARS-CoV-2 prevalence was 3.2% (95 % CI: 2.0 - 4.8) in the study region with no differences by age and sex but considerable differences were observed by adherence to COVID-19 preventive recommendations. For instance, the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among participants who reported not to have practiced social distancing measures was 8.5 times the prevalence in their counterparts who reported of practicing social distancing. The corresponding estimates were 12.8 (95%CI, 7.0, 19) and 1.5 (95% CI, 0.5, 2.5) with statistically significant difference(p<0.01). Similarly, we observed 4.5 times higher prevalence among people who reported of not wearing face masks and who mentioned of not avoiding social gatherings. More than 80 percent of study participants reported of adherence to infection prevention measures (face masks and physical distancing recommendations). Conclusion: The SARS-CoV-2 sero-prevalence detected among adults in Diredawa was low and indicates much higher proportion of population not yet infected. COVID-19 preventive measures are associated with reduced prevalence and should be promoted to avoid transmission to the uninfected majority.
