To assess oral health-related quality of life and dental treatment needs in dental patients by means of Farsi version of Oral Health Impact Profile Questionnaire-14. In a cross-sectional study, dental patients not necessarily having oral/systemic conditions underwent oral examination to determine treatment needs and number of remaining teeth. Patients were asked to fill out Farsi version of Oral health Impact Profile-14 questionnaire thereafter. Chi-square test, Student's t-test, Spearman and Pearson coefficients were used to analyze the data. Totally 330 patients including 148 men (44.8%) and 182 women (55.2%) were examined. The mean score of Oral health Impact Profile-14 was 28.74± 10.21. The score was significantly higher (worse oral health-related quality of life) among patients needing removable prosthodontics (33.73 p=0.04) and oral surgery (31.74 p=0.001).Psychological discomfort had the highest oral health impact among domains and queries of the questionnaire.

Introduction: The endodontic therapy is performed with appropriate preparation techniques, irrigation solutions and intracanal medications, with the aim of eliminating residual microorganisms. The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the level of awareness and clinical use of intracanal medicaments, and ways to remove them among dentists. Material and methods: The subject of the survey is the opinion of 249 dentists with different work experience and work orientations. Questions to identify the most commonly used intracanal medicaments in the course of endodontic treatment by general dentists are included. Identify the clinical situations in which they are most commonly used, as well as the preferred techniques and solutions for their elimination. The data were processed with the statistical software IBM SPSS Statistics 26. The results of the survey show that most of the respondents practice general dentistry and 98% of the respondents use intracanal medications in their practice. The most commonly used intracanal medicament is calcium hydroxide in single and combined form, 49% and 75%, respectively. According to 96.7%, medications affect the healing process. Syringe and needle irrigation with 2-5.25% NaOCI is one of the most commonly used methods for removing intracanal medicaments (96.3%). 74% of the respondents have difficulties in removing intracanal medicaments. Conclusion: Based on their clinical experience, respondents indicated that they have difficulty in the complete removal of intracanal medicaments, and half of them believe that not all methods for their removal are available. At the same time, the respondents point out that the incomplete removal of intracanal drugs affects the adhesion of the canal filling material to the walls of the root canal.
A Descriptive Analysis of Clinical Articles Published in the Last 50 Years in the Dental Literature
The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice
Aims: This article describes the methodologies used in the dental literature and described how these approaches have changed over time. Materials and methods: Thirty-three ISI peer-reviewed journals were included in the analyses. Data were extracted independently by 11 investigators and in duplicate. Any differences in the results were resolved via discussion or by a third reviewer when necessary. Data were collected regarding the methodology used in the article, and dental specialty related to different study designs. In the case in which more than one study design or specialty was reported, reviewers were trained to identify the main methodology/specialty. Results: The majority (36.96%) used a case report (CR) as the primary methodology, followed by a clinical trial (CT) (18.21%) or randomized CT (15.11%). The least used methodologies included a cohort (COH) study (6.07%) or a systematic review (SA)/meta-analysis (MA) (6.73%). Periodontology published the highest number of case controls (CCs) (46.8%), randomized CTs (RCTs) (29.9%), cross-sectional (CS) studies (26.0%), SRs/MAs (19.8%), and CTs (17.1%). Oral and maxillofacial surgery published the highest number of CRs/case series (54.5%) and COH studies (30.5%), whereas operative dentistry published the lowest number of CRs/case series (0.7%), CCs (2.9%), and SRs/MAs (2.3%). CRs/case series retain the highest number of publications across all time points in the dental literature overall. Conclusion: Our results indicate an improvement in the types of research and the pyramid of evidence, which will help in applying evidencebased dentistry (EBD) in clinical decision-making. Clinical significance: Types of studies used in the dental field are not yet investigated. Thus, little is known about the common study design types in dental literature. This can affect the decision made regarding technique, risk factors, prevention, or treatment.

Achieving thorough disinfection is regarded as one of the pillars in endodontics. Although calcium hydroxide (CH) is one of the routinely used intracanal medicament in endodontics; alternative approaches are gaining popularity to mitigate endodontic pathology. However, CH has to be tested for its dissociation which is a rate-limiting attribute essential for its therapeutic action. The dissociation of CH into OHand Ca 2+ depends on the vehicle used to prepare the paste. This in-vitro study evaluated the use of ozonized olive oil in facilitating calcium ion release and change in pH when combined with CH. Fifty single rooted extracted human mandibular premolars were instrumented with NiTi rotary files (40/6). The teeth were divided into two groups (n = 25 per group) on the basis of vehicle: olive oil (CH + olive oil) and ozonized olive oil (CH + ozonized olive oil) groups. Both olive and ozonized olive oil vehicles allowed the diffusion of ions. However, pastes prepared with ozonized oil showed more ion diffusion, with marked calcium ion release after 15 days and alkalinity was maintained for complete period of 15 days, depicting better support for CH action. The change in calcium ion release and alkalinity were statistically significant in ozonized oil vehicle compared to olive oil vehicle. The present in-vitro study supports the use of ozonized olive oil as a vehicle to be used with CH as an intracanal medicament, considering its anti-microbial potential and sustainable release of calcium ions. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee of Manubhai Patel Dental College (approval No. MPDC_130/CONS-25/17) on June 4, 2018.

Resumen: La profilaxis antibiótica en Odontología tiene como objetivo prevenir la aparición de infección a partir de la puerta de entrada que produce la actuación terapéutica, por lo que se encuentra indicada siempre que exista un riesgo importante de infección, ya sea por las características mismas de la operación o por las condiciones locales o generales del paciente. Sin embargo, los ensayos clínicos con antibióticos en patologías dentarias responden poco a los criterios metodológicos requeridos, y además no son lo suficientemente numerosos. Se presentan los resultados de una conferencia de expertos integrada por los Presidentes de Sociedades Científicas Españolas más representativas que han analizado la bibliografía existente y han aportado sus valiosas experiencias profesionales. Se describen las circunstancias técnicas, se analizan los fundamentos biológicos y farmacológicos y se aplican a las situaciones médicas más representativas. Se concluye que la profilaxis antibiótica en Odontología cuenta con indicaciones bien fundamentadas y precisas, ofreciendo a la comunidad científica internacional un protocolo práctico de actuación.

As it is well known, any dental treatment will be preceded by anamnesis, actually by an extremely detailed interrogation, in addition to a very rigorous clinical examination, regarding the patients' health condition. Specifically, any dental treatment can only be performed after such an interrogation in order to avoid, sometimes even from the very start, any possible complications or failures of this extremely complex and at the same time complete type of treatment. Cuvinte cheie: management dentar, afecţiuni generale Rezumat: După cum foarte bine se ştie, orice tratament de medicină dentară va fi precedat, pe lângă un examen clinic foarte riguros, şi de o anamneză sau mai bine zis de un interogatoriu extrem de amănunţit, în ceea ce priveşte starea de sănătate a pacientului. Concret, orice tratament dentar nu va putea fi abordat, decât în urma acestui interogatoriu al pacientului, pentru a putea fi evitate, uneori chiar din start, eventualele complicaţii sau chiar eşecuri ale acestui tip de tratament extrem de complex, şi în acelaşi timp extrem de complet.
