Influence of implantation side on the integration of dental implants
Conclusions Our results indicate that the side of implantation is important in dental implant research, at least in miniature pigs. We recommend that for each surgical procedure notes should be made about the side first operated on and whether the dentist was right- or left-handed. Moreover, special attention should be paid to objects placed in the animal pens so as to avoid the development of inappropriate behaviors in animals.

Gender aspects in oral health-related quality of life of oral lichen planus patients
Conclusions Beside clinical severity, gender influences the perception of pain significantly. Therefore pain measures should be used to compare intraindividual changes. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Case report of an unusual evolution of peripheral ossifying fibroma
Abstract Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a reactive, non-neoplastic tumor-like growth of soft tissue often arising from the interdental papilla. It is one of the commonly encountered growths in the oral cavity and has been described in the literature as having unicentric/multicentric or non-ulcerated/ulcerated variants. It is believed to arise from gingival fibers or the periodontal ligament as a hyperplastic growth of tissue, which is still debatable. Here, we report and discuss the relevant clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis of a curious case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in which...

Cone beam computed tomography
Abstract With the introduction of three-dimensional imaging in the field of dentistry, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has generated great interest in various applications in orthodontics. As orthodontic treatment revolves around correcting a malocclusion in three dimensions, the earlier use of two-dimensional radiographs limited our view of anatomical structures greatly. In orthodontics, CBCT can be very useful in the assessment of limits of tooth movement according to the envelope of discrepancy, study of craniofacial morphology, study of dental development, assessment of the airway, assessment of ...

Influence of restoration adjustments on prefrontal blood flow
Conclusions Activation of the prefrontal area may provide an objective criterion for judging the functionality of occlusion after prosthetic occlusal reconstruction and/or orthodontics. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Frequency and characteristics of retention cysts in the maxillary sinus in a Turkish patient population
Conclusion This study shows that the prevalence of RCs is low (1.6 %) and the frequency of RCs diminishes slightly with age. Most of the patients that had RCs were dentate, and dental findings were observed in around 50 % of the patients. Therefore, dental pathology may be considered to be a contributing factor for RCs. According to the findings of our study, the size and prevalence of RCs are not age dependent. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Prevalence of Haller’s cells in south Indian population using digital panoramic radiographs
Conclusion The results of this study indicate that panoramic radiographs can depict and provide a clear delineation of Haller’s cells. Further studies employing advanced imaging modalities would aid in justifying our findings. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Biofunctionalization of onplants to enhance their osseointegration
Conclusion The results of this pilot study show that BMP-2 biofunctionalization of NCD-coated onplants improves osseointegration and may suggest its clinical use in orthodontics. Due to the high loss rate, more investigations are required to confirm the beneficial effects and the current data should be interpreted with caution.

Non-plaque-induced gingivitis associated with nicotinamide
Abstract Nicotinamide (pyridine-3-carboxamide), an amide, active form of vitamin B3, is used to treat a variety of dermatologic conditions, including skin cancer. Limited data are available regarding the adverse effects of nicotinamide in the literature. Here, we report a case of gingivitis associated with nicotinamide. A 35-year-old female patient was referred to the Department of Periodontics for the treatment of bleeding from the gums during brushing. The patient's history revealed that she had been on 12 mg/day nicotinamide for the prophylactic treatment of skin cancer for 5 months. In the absence o...

Stress distribution and bone–implant interface behavior in pick-up implant impression
Conclusions The mechanical properties of Pattern Resin LS seem to be appropriate for use in the pick-up impression technique thanks to the low-volume contraction, the capabilities to dampen misfits, and permanent deformation effects. The shape of the copings affects the values of the stress both in the transfer coping–implant connection zones and at resin–transfer coping interfaces. A thicker clearance of the module–tray connection helps in reducing the mechanical stress. The FEM analysis showed that the removal procedure of the pick-up implant impression tray does not produce any irreversible dam...

A simplified technique for bridging wide alveolar cleft defects
Abstract Wider alveolar clefts/fistulae and maxillary dentoalveolar defects pose problems in achieving complete closure because of the requirement of a greater volume of bone as a graft. Segmented osteotomies have been used successfully for the repositioning of minor segments; however, in major segmented movements, the closing of the flap and the blood supply of the osteotomized segment may be compromised. Interdental distraction osteogenesis has overcome this problem by creating a segment of new alveolar bone and complete approximation of wider alveolar defects. This case report shows an effective and ef...
