Level Of Significance

Objectives To investigate the prevalence of self-reported pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and its association with psychological status in a dental clinic setting. Methods In this cross-sectional study, patients were asked to complete a TMD pain screener and the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4). Correlations between symptoms of pain-related TMDs and PHQ-4 scores were analysed using Spearman’s correlation test. Symptoms of pain-related TMDs were compared between four groups of participants with different psychological profiles using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by multiple comparisons. The level of significance was adjusted using the Dunn–Bonferroni test. Results The prevalence of self-reported pain-related TMDs was 22.2%. TMD pain score was positively correlated with PHQ-4 score. The high anxiety and the comorbidity groups had significantly higher TMD pain scores than the controls. Conclusion There was a high prevalence of self-reported pain-related TMDs, which was correlated with scores on all psychological assessment scales. Symptoms of pain-related TMDs were significantly greater in patients with high anxiety scores, regardless of depression level.

Root Fractures

Crown or root fractures are the most commonly encountered emergencies in the dental clinic. Root fractures occur in fewer than eight percent of the traumatic injuries to permanent teeth. They are broadly classified as horizontal and vertical root fractures. Correct diagnosis of root fractures is essential to ensure a proper treatment plan and hence, the best possible prognosis. Indication of the type of treatment to be used depends primarily on the level of the fracture line. Therefore, a clinician must also have a thorough knowledge of the various treatment approaches to devise a treatment plan accordingly. Various treatment strategies have been proposed, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Hence, this literature review presents an overview of the various types of root fractures and their management.Kathmandu University Medical Journal Vol.12(3) 2014; 222-230

Background. This study determined the association between time since last dental clinic visit and self-reported health among the elderly (age ≥ 65 years). Methods. Data were from the 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors that affect the self-reported general health of the elderly. Additionally, a negative binomial regression analysis was conducted to explore the association of time since last dental clinic visit and the self-reported number of physically unhealthy, mentally unhealthy, and sad days during the past 30 days. Results. Six predictors were identified affecting the self-reported general health of the elderly. Respondents were more likely to self-report “good, very good, or excellent” general health if they: visited the dental clinic within the past year, were non-Hispanic, had healthcare coverage, had fewer permanent teeth removed, received better education and were younger. A larger lapse of time since respondents’ last dental clinic visits was associated with increased number of mentally and physically unhealthy days and an increased number of sad days during the past 30 days. Conclusions. The positive association between better general health, fewer mentally and physically unhealthy days, and fewer sad days during the past 30 days and shorter periods of time between dental visits warrants further investigation to determine a possible causal relationship between overall health and dental visits.

In the second of two papers on the recognition and management of potential medical emergencies that may occur in the dental clinic setting, the development of new algorithms to assist in making it easier for members of the dental team to recognize and treat such situations will be discussed. Used in conjunction with the M-DEWS2 scoring sheet as discussed in the first paper, these algorithms cover the eight common medical emergencies that may occur in dental practice. CPD/Clinical Relevance: All members of the dental team require the appropriate skills and knowledge to manage medical emergencies should they occur.

Objective. Patients with hypodontia are relatively common in clinical dentistry. This study was performed to determine the prevalence of hypodontia of permanent teeth in Korean orthodontic patients and whether such prevalence is associated with the type of dental clinic, patient gender, or the type of malocclusion. Materials and Methods. Over a five-year period, we evaluated 3,055 patients (mean age, 15.1 years; range 9~30) from two geographically separated orthodontic clinics: 1,479 from University Hospital and 1,576 from a private clinic. Hypodontia was diagnosed using panoramic radiographs, clinical examination, and dental casts. Results. The overall prevalence of hypodontia, excluding the third molars, was 11.3%, and there was no statistically significant association with the type of dental clinic, gender, or malocclusion patterns. The most commonly missing teeth were the mandibular second premolars (44.2%), followed by the mandibular lateral incisors (36.6%), and the maxillary second premolars (34.0%). In both sexes, 86.0% of patients with hypodontia were missing one or two teeth. Conclusion. The relatively high prevalence of hypodontia emphasizes the importance of dental examination in early childhood with radiographic screening for hypodontia as standard public oral health policy and warrants further investigation of the orthodontic treatment strategies to prevent resultant oral health impairments of hypodontia.
