ABSTRACT Objectives To compare the impact of primary canine and primary first molar extractions with extractions of only the primary canine regarding correction of palatally displaced canines (PDCs). Materials and Methods Thirty-two children aged 9.5–13.5 years with 48 PDCs were randomly allocated to either the double-extraction group (DEG) or single-extraction group (SEG). Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed at baseline and at 6-month intervals until the canine emerged or orthodontic treatment was started. Outcome measures were: emergence of maxillary canine (yes/no), emergence of maxillary canine into a favorable position (yes/no), and maxillary canine positional change (angulation and sector). Factors influencing PDC emergence were analyzed using logistic regression. Results In the DEG, 64% (16/25) of canines emerged into the oral cavity vs 78% (18/23) in the SEG (P = .283). Favorable PDC position at trial end was seen in 64% (16/25) of the DEG vs 57% (13/23) of the SEG (P = .600). Significant distal movement of PDCs was recorded in the DEG and SEG, though no significant difference was observed between groups. Significant predictors of canine emergence were initial canine angulation (Angle A) (P = .008) and space conditions at T0 (P = .030). Conclusions Double or single primary tooth extraction procedures are equivalent in supporting PDC eruption into the oral cavity and into a favorable position in the dental arch. Initial canine angulation and space assessments may be used as predictors of successful PDC eruption.

Background: Recovery of dental arch defects, related to insertion of a foreign bodies into the oral cavity, and the impact of mechanical pressure, allergic-toxic effects, and the related inflammatory and degenerative processes is one of the most urgent problems in dentistry.The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of Georgian bean extract tincture as mouthwash for patients using a lever system to correct deformities of the jaw and teeth.Methods: Twenty-eight patients (aged 12-25 years) with deformities of the jaw and teeth were studied. Patients were examined 6-8 months after the bracket system was installed, and before and after the use of tincture mouthwash for 10 days. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: the control group for the mouthwash used standard tincture ("Octenidol" Schulke and Mayr -Germany); the patients of the experimental group used tincture made from the Georgian legume crop extracts (GLCE). Before and after the use of both types of tincture, the data were taken for calculation of Schiller Pisarev's test (SPT), Papillary-Marginal Alveolar (PMA) index, and the oral hygiene index (OHI). Saliva was collected in a glass tube without stimulation, on an empty stomach. The content of cytokines IL-1β, IL-10 in saliva was determined by the ELISA kit.Results: The study demonstrated significant positive clinical efficacy of the mouthwash tincture prepared from the GLCE which increases the resistance of dental tissue. This was revealed by significantly lower values of OHI, PMA index, SPT and increased content of IL-10 in saliva.This data indicates that tincture prepared from the Georgian legume crop extracts, which is designed to increase the stability of oral tissue, does promote an increase in resistance to the aggressive mechanical pressing.Conclusion: Tincture from the GLCE is characterized by a much stronger anti-inflammatory effect than standard tincture "Octenidol" (Schulke and Mayr -Germany) used against inflammation of the oral cavity soft tissue. This allows us to recommend the tincture from the GLCE for the treatment and prevention of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity soft tissue.Keywords: Georgian legumes crop extracts (GLCE), oral cavity soft tissue inflammation, Hygiene Index, PMA index, Schiller Pisarev's test.

The Impact

Estimates show that the prevalence of mandibular dental anterior crowding is high and might be up to 40%. The etiology of the condition has been multifactorial and evidence regarding the impact of mandibular third molars is still controversial. We discussed the potential role that impacted teeth (particularly mandibular third molars) might have in developing dental arch crowding. Evidence from different original studies and reviews regarding the impact of lower third molars on dental crowding was controversial. However, most of these studies showed that the correlation between these events was insignificant and additional studies might be needed for further validation. We have also identified many factors that can lead to dental arch crowding among the relevant studies in the literature. These factors might include general factors (including gender and age), skeletal factors (including malocclusion and growth of jaws) and dental factors (including primary tooth loss and tooth crown size), all of which were extensively discussed in the current study. Accordingly, further attention should also be paid to studying these factors.

Dental Arch Relationship

Summary Background It is suggested that dental agenesis affects maxillary protrusion and dental arch relationship in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). In addition, an association between the need for orthognathic surgery and dental agenesis is reported. Aim The aim was to study the impact of maxillary dental agenesis on craniofacial growth and dental arch relationship in 8-year-old children with UCLP. Subjects and methods The sample consisted of individuals with UCLP from Scandcleft randomized trials. The participants had available data from diagnosis of maxillary dental agenesis as well as cephalometric measurements (n = 399) and GOSLON assessment (n = 408) at 8 years of age. Results A statistically significant difference was found for ANB between individuals with agenesis of two or more maxillary teeth (mean 1.52°) in comparison with those with no or only one missing maxillary tooth (mean 3.30° and 2.70°, respectively). Mean NSL/NL was lower among individuals with agenesis of two or more maxillary teeth (mean 9.90°), in comparison with individuals with no or one missing maxillary tooth (mean 11.46° and 11.45°, respectively). The number of individuals with GOSLON score 4–5 was 47.2% in the group with two or more missing maxillary teeth and 26.1% respectively 26.3% in the groups with no or one missing maxillary tooth. No statistically significant difference was found in the comparison between individuals with no agenesis or with agenesis solely of the cleft-side lateral. Conclusion Maxillary dental agenesis impacts on craniofacial growth as well as dental arch relationship and should be considered in orthodontic treatment planning.

The Impact

The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of the spontaneous eruption of displaced unerupted maxillary canines after the extraction of the deciduous canine and dental arch expansion and to determine the impact of initial canine position on treatment success rate. Materials and Methods. The study sample included 50 patients (mean age, 13.5 years [SD, 2.2]) with unilaterally displaced unerupted maxillary canines. Deciduous canines were extracted, and the space for displaced canine was created at the beginning of the study. The follow-up period for the spontaneous eruption was 12 months. The initial vertical, horizontal, labio-palatal position and angle of inclination to the midline of the displaced canine were assessed on panoramic radiographs. Results. Only 42% of displaced canines erupted spontaneously within one-year period (52.9% of labially displaced canines and 36.4% of palatally displaced canines). A significant difference of inclination was determined between spontaneously erupted and unerupted teeth in the labially displaced canine group (P<0.01), with no difference in the palatally displaced canine group. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the critical angle of inclination for the spontaneous eruption of the retained canine was 20º (sensitivity 0.759; specificity 0.571; P<0.05). The majority of unerupted canines (75.9%) were inclined more than 20º. The initial height of canine was crucial for spontaneous eruption (sensitivity 0.966; specificity 0.81; P<0.001). This was true for both palatal and labial cases. Conclusions. The initial vertical position of the labially and palatally displaced canines and the inclination of the labially displaced canines were the most important predictors for spontaneous eruption of the cuspid.

Objectives: Maxillary impacted canines have an important place in orthodontics for the reason of being a common anomaly and its treatment is time consuming and difficult. The aim of this study was to investigate the mandibular indexes and cephalometric parameters in adolescents with impacted maxillary canines. Materials and Methods: The radiographs of 4026 patients aged 12–19 years old were scanned and a total of 155 patients were included in the study. Subjects were divided into three groups according to the permanent maxillary canines: Bilateral impacted canine (BIC) (52 subjects; mean age 15.02 ± 1.74 years), unilaterally impacted canine (UIC) (51 subjects; mean age 14.89 ± 1.39 years), and the control (52 subjects; mean age 14.84 ± 1.65 years) groups. Skeletal, soft tissue and dental measurements were performed on cephalometric radiographs. Mandibular index analyzes including the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mental index (MI), antegonial index (AI), and gonial index (GI) measurements and also angular measurements of impacted maxillary canines were performed on panoramic radiographs. Data were analyzed statistically and P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Maxillary skeletal and dental measurements showed retrusive positioned maxillary dental arch in the sagittal direction in the impacted canine groups (P < 0.05). PMI and MI values were greater in the BIC and UIC groups than in control group (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in AI value among groups (P < 0.05). GI value of BIC group was found statistically lower than other groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Individuals with impacted maxillary canines have more retrusive maxillary dental arch and soft-tissue components. Furthermore, mandibular cortex was thicker in subjects with impacted maxillary canine than individuals with not and clinicians should keep in mind this when examine the panoramic radiographs in terms of early diagnosis of impacted maxillary canine teeth.

Introduction: Surgical tooth extraction is one of the most common surgical procedures in oral surgery nowadays. The post-extraction period is usually uneventful, however, in some cases, the healing process may be affected by the extraction trauma or by the impact of bacteria at the surgical site. Aim: The aim of this paper is to establish the frequency of inflammatory complications, specifically surgical site infections and alveolar osteitis, after surgical extractions, and to explore the impact of antiseptics and antibiotics regarding the prevention of these complications. Material and methods: A number of 60 patients was included in this research, divided into three research groups according to the post-operative treatment type prescribed. The first group consisted of the patients who had been prescribed antibiotics, while the second group consisted of the patients who had been instructed to rinse their mouth with 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate rinse postoperatively. Control group consisted of the patients who had not been prescribed any treatment. The postoperative check-ups were done on the second and the seventh day after the surgery, where it was checked if there were any clinical signs of infection or alveolar osteitis at the surgical site. Results: The study consisted of 60 patients, out of which a total of 67 teeth were extracted. Two patients were diagnosed alveolar osteitis, while four patients were diagnosed postoperative infection Conclusion: Statistically significant difference between the participant groups regarding the frequency of postoperative complications has not been noticed. There is insufficient evidence to justify the routine use of antibiotics or antiseptics after surgical tooth extractions.

ABSTRACT Treatment of asymptomatic impacted maxillary canines in adults is inevitable when primary canine becomes lost through extraction or exfoliation or when the impacted tooth becomes symptomatic. Treatment alternatives include an orthodontic procedure to bring the unerupted tooth to the dental arch or prosthetic replacement of the missing tooth. This is an alternative treatment that involves simultaneous placement of implants into extraction sockets of the teeth for replacement of maxillary canine. This treatment modality avoids the need for conventional preparation of teeth as part of prosthetic reconstruction or prolonged orthodontic treatment aimed at bringing the impacted canine to the dental arch.

e24065 Background: To determine factors associated with the development of post-treatment hypothyroidism (HY) in the head and neck (HN) population as well as evaluate the impact of socio-economic factors and survivorship program. Methods: We collected demographics, insurance coverage, disease staging, treatment characteristics, and details of thyroid function measurement as well as supplementation for all HN oncology patients (n = 608) who presented between January 2011 and January 2019 at Levine Cancer Institute, Charlotte, North Carolina. Insurance was categorized as Government (Medicaid or Medicare), Private, or Uninsured. Patient malignancies were grouped as oropharynx, oral cavity, larynx/hypopharynx, nasopharynx, nasal cavity/sinus, or primary salivary gland. Thyroid function was evaluated by use of laboratory thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) values. Timing of thyroid supplementation was standardized to start of treatment. Details of thyroid hormone supplementation was collected. Data was analyzed with Chi-square and ANOVA methods, using SAS 9.4 (Cary, NC). Results: 483 patients (79%) had post treatment surveillance with TSH. The patients (n = 125, 21%) with no identifiable thyroid surveillance did not have any racial or socioeconomic disparities identified. Caucasian and African American thyroid surveillance rates were similar at 79% and 81%, respectively. There was no difference based on insurance: Government 81%, Uninsured 81%, and Private 76%. Of patients with thyroid surveillance, 203 (42%) developed post-treatment HY. The mean and median time frame until HY identification was 544 days and 450 days, respectively. A mean and median dose of thyroid hormone supplementation of 75 mcg of levothyroxine. Most patients had lower rates of thyroid dysfunction with TSH levels between 5-10. Fewer African Americans (24%) developed HY than Caucasians (47%). Patients with laryngeal cancer were at greatest risk to develop HY (57%), followed by oropharynx (40%) and oral cavity (40%). Staging did not demonstrate a significant difference between development of HY. Conclusions: This study is the largest cohort of HN patients to be evaluated for post HN treatment induced HY. Oncology team providers and primary care physicians should be aware of the significant rates of HY. In our institution we identified a consistency of care provided regardless of socioeconomic and racial factors.

Stress in caregivers may affect the healthcare recipients receive. We examined the impact of stress experienced by 45 adult caregivers of their elderly demented parents. The participants completed a 32-item questionnaire about the impact of experienced stress. The questionnaire also asked about interventions that might help to reduce the impact of stress. After exploratory factor analysis, we reduced the 32-item questionnaire to 13 items. Results indicated that caregivers experienced stress, anxiety, and sadness. Also, emotional, but not financial or professional, well-being was significantly impacted. There was no significant difference between the impact of caregiver stress on members from the sandwich generation and those from the nonsandwich generation. Meeting with a social worker for resource availability was identified most frequently as a potentially helpful intervention for coping with the impact of stress.

This exploratory study examined the impact of implicit and explicit oral corrective feedback (CF) on the development of implicit and explicit knowledge of Japanese locative particles (activity de, movement ni and location ni) for those who directly received CF and those who observed CF in the classroom. Thirty-six college students in a beginning Japanese language course received either recast (implicit), metalinguistic (explicit) or no feedback during an information-gap picture description activity, and completed a timed picture description test (implicit knowledge) and an untimed grammaticality judgement test (explicit knowledge) in a pre-test, immediate post-test and delayed post-test. The results showed that overall there was no significant difference between CF types, and that CF benefited direct and indirect recipients similarly. Potential factors that might influence the effectiveness of CF, such as instructional settings, complexity of target structures and pedagogy styles, are discussed.
