Aim: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate the performance of resin composite restorations placed by undergraduate dental students with 1 to 15 years of placement based on dental records. Methods: Four calibrated operators evaluated 498 restorations (anterior and posterior) of 120 patients according to Ryge’s validated criteria (USPHS). Results: The criteria that showed the smallest changes between the types of failures were color matching, marginal discoloration and surface texture. Regarding the longevity, the surface texture showed an increase in the frequency of failures from the second time interval (3.1 to 6 years). Higher prevalence of failure was found in class II and III restorations, with secondary caries being the main reason. No significant differences were found for anatomic form, marginal adaptation, and color matching. Class V restorations showed a higher fracture rate with total displacement of the restoration, with no increase in the frequency of fracture over time. Conclusion: High rate of restoration failure was observed, possibly due to the lack of experience and skills of the students. This outcome highlight the need for continuous revision and improvements of teaching practice regarding the development of clinical competences and skills by dental students.

Introduction: To perform a proper restoration, we are required to observe the principles in a framework of the restorative dentistry. Regardless of these criteria, rapid repair failure occurs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of composite restorations placed by dental students in Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Science in 2014-2016. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 restorations were performed in the Faculty of Yazd Dentistry in the years 2014-2016 through a clinical examination and completion of the questionnaire by the patients were examined. The results were evaluated by descriptive statistics and Chi-squared / Fisher's exact test using SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL; Version 16. Results: In general, 5% of the restoration were completely defective and considered as successful repairs. 12% of the restoration failed in the clinical examination. The main reason for the failure of these restorations was the secondary caries with irreversible pulpitis. Finally, 83% of the restoration had defects, but these teeth were considered as functionally present. Conclusion: Dental students are able to place resin composite restorations in teeth with an acceptable annual failure (P>.05).

Background:Diagnostic delay of spondyloarthritis (SpA) has been established even in combination with inflammatory bowel disease and may contribute to radiographic progression and disability.Objectives:We aimed to evaluate diagnostic delay in enteropathic SpA (eSpA) and explore associated demographic, clinical, and radiographic characteristics.Methods:We analysed consecutive eSpA patients referred to the combined gastro-rheumatologic clinic of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Diagnostic delay was defined as the time interval from the date of first symptoms to the date of diagnosis. Conventional radiography (CR) and magnetic resonance images (MRI) of sacroiliac (SI) joints and spine were performed in axial (ax)SpA patient and examined by two independent radiologists. MRI were assessed for the presence of active/chronic inflammatory lesions, disease activity by ASDAS and inflammatory markers. Statistical analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney, chi square/Fisher tests and covariance analysis (SPSS software).Results:190 eSpA patients (124 female, mean age 47.5±12.8 years, disease duration 72±67.4 months, 73 UC/117 CD; 118 peripheral SpA, 72 axSpA including 44 non radiographic (nr)-axSpA) were evaluated. Axial eSpA patients had a higher prevalence of men sex (p<0.0001), HLA-B27 positivity (p=0.004), uveitis (p=0.01) and pancolitis (p<0.006) compared with peripheral eSpA. AxeSpA patients displayed higher ESR, ASDAS, and VAS pain compared with peripheral ESpA (p=0.0006, p=0.001, p=0.019, respectively). A higher prevalence of csDMARDs was detected in peripheral eSpA compared with axSpA (p=0.002) while treatment with cs and bDMARDs was similar in rad-axSpA and nr-axSpA patients.Median diagnostic delay in eSpA was 48 months (IQR 6-77) with no difference between axial and peripheral patients. Rad-ax-SpA patients displayed a higher diagnostic delay compared with nr-axSpA (median/IQR 36/17-129 vs 31/10-57 months, p=0.03). Patients with rad-axSpA were older and with longer disease duration than patients with nr-axSpA (p=0.005 and p=0.019). Low education status and high rate of employment were found in rad-axSpA compared with nr-axSpA (p=0.003 and p=0.03, respectively).Rad-axSpA patients with sclerosis, syndesmophytes and bridge at CR had a higher diagnostic delay than those without lesions (p=0.03, p=0.043, p<0.0001, Fig. 1A-C). Men showed a higher prevalence of spine damage lesions than women as sclerosis (p=0.02), squaring (p=0.0006), syndesmophytes (p=0.0028) and bridges (p=0.007). Longer disease duration was detected in patients with radiographic damage as bridge (p<0.0001) and sacroiliitis grade 3 (p=0.04). On MRI, SI bone oedema was associated with reduced diagnostic delay (p=0.04) while bone erosions was associated with higher diagnostic delay (p=0.002) compared with that in patients without these lesions (Fig. 1D-E). Rad-axSpA women had a higher prevalence of SI damage lesions at MRI than men (p=0.001). Patients with psoriasis displayed a higher diagnostic delay compared to those without skin involvement (p=0.004).Figure 1.Conclusion:Demographic and clinical factors differentiate axSpA from nr-axSpA patients. Diagnostic delay was higher in rad-axSpA compared with nr-axSpA despite the same treatment. Some lesions of spine/SI at CR and MRI, and psoriasis, were mostly associated with diagnostic delay and sex.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Background: Shade matching is a significant treatment step and a challenge for the clinical team with potentially high costs for color correction. Currently, in the United States, the majority of private dental practitioners use visual color matching, but a recent study has reported a high rate of mistakes of subjective color determination among graduate dentists. Objective: The aim of this retrospective study is to analyze whether a change in the oral background due to dental occlusion can influence tooth color determination. Methods: Volunteer dental students underwent spectrophotometric color assessment using the SpectroShade device. Two measurements were carried out (with the individuals’ occlusion closed and with the occlusion open) on 43 upper central and 58 lateral incisors. Association between colorimetric variables L*, a*, b* and ΔE00 and tooth width, length and tobacco usage were examined. Results: Slight changes in the CIELAB values between closed and open occlusions were found for both the gingival and the central sections as for the overall tooth area, with mean ΔL*=-1.24, Δa*=-1.77, Δb*=-1.42 and ΔE00=1,84. A larger difference was detected in the incisal area, with mean ΔL*=-2.99, Δa*=-1.76, Δb*=-2.83 and ΔE00=3.65. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study showed that dental occlusion does not play a significant role in tooth color matching determinations, even though attention to avoid overbite due to a maximum intercuspation should be made.

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of direct resin composite restorations (Tetric Ceram-TC) and indirect composite inlays (Targis-TG) after 12 months. Methods and Materials Seventy-six Class I and II restorations (44 direct and 32 indirect) were inserted in premolars and molars with carious lesions or deficient restorations in 30 healthy patients according to the manufacturer's instructions. Each restoration was evaluated at baseline and after 12 months according to the modified USPHS criteria for color match (CM), marginal discoloration (MD), secondary caries (SC), anatomic form (AF), surface texture (ST), marginal integrity (MI), and pulp sensitivity (PS). Data were analyzed by Fisher and McNemar Chisquare tests. Results No secondary caries and no pulpal sensitivity were observed after 12 months. However, significant changes in marginal discoloration (MD) criteria could be detected between baseline and one-year results for both materials (p<0.05). For marginal integrity (MI) criteria, the differences between baseline and oneyear recall were statistically significant (p<0.05). For marginal integrity (MI) criteria, Tetric Ceram (TC) showed results statistically superior to Targis (TG) in both observation periods (p<0.05). No statistically significant changes in color match (CM), anatomic form (AF), or surface texture (ST) appeared during the observation periods (p>0.05). Conclusions Direct resin composite restorations performed better than indirect composite inlays for marginal integrity, but all restorations were judged to be clinically acceptable. Clinical Significance Tetric Ceram direct restorations and Targis indirect inlays in posterior teeth provide satisfactory clinical performance and the comparison between them showed little difference after one year.

AbstractObjectivesThis study has been designed to elucidate the prevalence of stress, depression and poor sleep among medical students in a Pakistani medical school. There is a paucity of data on social support among medical students in Pakistan; an important predictor of depressive symptoms. Therefore, this study was also aimed to demonstrate the direct and indirect impact of social support in alleviating depressive symptoms in the study sample.MethodsThis observational cross-sectional study was conducted in Lahore, Pakistan, where a total of 400 students at a medical school were approached between 1st January to 31st March 2018 to participate in the study. The study sample comprised of medical and dental students enrolled at a privately financed Pakistani medical and dental school. The participants responded to a self-administered survey comprising of five parts: a) demographics, b) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), c) Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), d) Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and e) Perceived Stress Scale-4 (PSS-4). All data were analysed using SPSS v. 20. Linear regression analysis was used to reveal the predictors of depression.ResultsIn total, 353 medical students participated, yielding a response rate of 88.25%. Overall, poor sleep quality was experienced by 205 (58.1%) students. Mild to severe depression was reported by 83% of the respondents: mild depression by 104 (29.5%), moderate depression by 104 (29.5%), moderately severe depression by 54 (15.3%) and severe depression by 31 (8.8%) respondents. Subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, daytime dysfunction and stress levels were significantly associated with depression symptoms. Social support was not significantly associated with depressive symptoms in the regression model (Beta = -0.08, P < 0.09); however, it acted as a significant mediator, reducing the strength of the relationship between depressive symptoms and sleep quality and stress.ConclusionsAccording to our study, a large proportion of healthcare (medical and dental) students were found to be suffering from mild to moderate depression and experienced poor sleep quality. It is concluded that social support is an important variable in predicting depressive symptomatology by ameliorating the effects of poor sleep quality and high stress levels.

The Impact

Enormous successes have been obtained against the control of major epidemic diseases, such as SARS, MERS, Ebola, Swine Flu in the past. Dynamic interplay of biological, socio-cultural and ecological factors, together with novel aspects of human-animal interphase, pose additional challenges with respect to the emergence of infectious diseases. The important challenges faced in the control and prevention of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases range from understanding the impact of factors that are necessary for the emergence, to development of strengthened surveillance systems that can mitigate human suffering and death. The aim of the current study is to assess the awareness of symptomatic differences between viral diseases like COVID-19, SARS, Swine flu and common cold among dental students that support the prevention of emergence or re-emergence. Cross-sectional type of study conducted among the undergraduate students comprising 100 Subjects. A questionnaire comprising 15 questions in total were framed, and responses were collected in Google forms in SPSS Software statistical analysis. The study has concluded that dental students have an awareness of the symptomatic differences between infectious viral disease. The study concluded that the awareness of symptomatic differences between viral diseases like COVID-19, SARS, Swine flu, Common cold is good among the dental students who would pave the way for early diagnosis and avoid spreading of such diseases. A further awareness can be created by regular webinars, seminars and brainstorming sessions among these healthcare professionals.

Mode Of Transmission

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) induced by new ß coronavirus MERS-(CoV) had first been described in Saudi Arabia in September 2012. MERS-CoV communication inside the population is often identified with clustered households and cramped communal spaces. The purpose of the study is to assess the knowledge and awareness of MERS-CoV among dental students in India. This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey of 100 dental college students in Chennai. The self-designed questionnaires contained ten questions focused on the knowledge and awareness of MERS-CoV amongst dental college students. Questionnaires were circulated through an online website survey planet. After the responses were received from 100 participants, data were collected and analyzed, .87% are aware of MERS-CoV through media 13% from professional channels. 84%are aware of the clinical manifestation of MERS-CoV. 81%Are aware of the mode of transmission of MERS-CoV. 76%are aware of the preventive measures against MERS -CoV.68%. Are aware of the incubation period of MERS-CoV. 74%aware of PCR as a diagnostic test for MERS-CoV. This study concluded that dental students had strong awareness and knowledge of MERS. Also, there are a few differences in information and behaviours that require change. Large-scale health educational programs on MERS also should be facilitated by professional organizations to expand their reach and to strengthen knowledge to have a positive impact on their behaviour.
