Dynamics of the demineralization of temporary teeth using ultrasonic shadow velosymmetry and autofluorescence microscopy <i>in vitro</i>
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/321362
<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Given the high prevalence of caries in preschool children, additional methods for diagnosing hidden carious foci with deep structural demineralization of the hard tissues of temporary teeth without generating X-rays must be updated.</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> To improve methods for studying the demineralization of hard tissues of primary teeth using ultrasonic shadow velosymmetry and autofluorescence microscopy.</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> The study included primary second molars (n=11). Samples of primary teeth were placed in a test tube with a demineralizing solution on days 1, 4, 8, 21, and 31. The samples were examined by autofluorescence microscopy and ultrasonic shadow velosymmetry according to the exposure time. The rate of acid demineralization of the primary teeth samples was assessed using our score scale. The averages were compared using the Wilcoxon W-test (p <0.05). Pearson correlation analysis was used, taking into account the statistical significance of the correlation coefficients for p <0.05.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Analysis of samples of hard tissues of primary teeth by ultrasonic shadow velosymmetry showed that the velocity of the ultrasonic wave passage decreases with increasing exposure to the demineralizing solution and acquires a linear character with a negative regression coefficient. The decrease in the ultrasonic wave velocity in the enamel and dentin of the samples directly correlated with the degree of demineralization.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The conducted experiment on the hard tissues of primary teeth showed that demineralization not only leads to micromorphological structural changes in the hard tissues of enamel and dentin but also affects the physical and acoustic properties of the samples.</p>

Experimental study of the effects of laser sialolithotripsy
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/346678
<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: The effectiveness of removing concretions using sialoendoscopy depends on the size and location of the concretion in the salivary gland. According to the research results, holmium YAG lasers are the predominant intracorporeal lithotriptors in crushing urolites and sialoliths. However, to date, in comparative studies of lasers of different types in urology, the Thule laser FiberLase U2 demonstrates high efficiency. Research by urologist surgeons served as the basis for the experiment on the possibility of crushing sialoliths and analyzing the physical effects.</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> To evaluate the safety and time of crushing of sialolith using a thulium laser FiberLase U2 in vitro.</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> Twelve round-shaped sialolith with a diameter of 5–6 mm were selected for the study. A model simulating the gland duct was developed. The fiber of the FiberLase U2 laser was fed through the proximal end of the model, and a series of lithotripsies were performed sequentially in three modes of the device at maximum and minimum values of energy and pulse frequency, fixing the temperature rise during irrigation and the resulting effects during crushing.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Crushing sialoliths to fragments measuring <1 mm is possible in all three laser modes. Operation at maximum values of pulse energy and frequency proceeded faster, whereas the maximum temperature rise varied from 45°C to 48°C, depending on the mode. Crushing was accompanied by pronounced cavitation and frequent sparks when the laser pulse was applied. Fragmentation at the minimum parameters of the pulse energy and frequency proceeded much slower; however, the maximum temperature rise ranged from 33°C to 40°C, and the listed effects were observed to a lesser extent in all three modes.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The use of a Thule laser for crushing concretions in all three modes at maximum pulse energy and frequency is inefficient and unsafe. Work at minimum values of the dusting and popcorning modes has shown the best results; however, further study of crushing with this laser is necessary.</p>

Effect of the duration of temporary disability in dental diseases on the economically active population of the region: On the example of the Republic of Tatarstan
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/387425
<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Morbidity with a temporary disability is an informative objective criterion for assessing the health status of the working population. The special literature describes data on research activities of temporary disability examination services; however, the issues of clinical and statistical analyses of the duration of temporary disability in dental diseases and factors affecting it at the regional level have not been sufficiently investigated.</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> To determine the average duration of temporary disability for each class of dental morbidity at the regional level through clinical and statistical analyses.</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> Cases of temporary disability established by dental medical organizations of the Republic of Tatarstan for 11 years were analyzed retrospectively. To calculate the intensive indicators, data of working patients who received dental treatment during the study period were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> The average duration of temporary disability for each class of dental morbidity in the Republic of Tatarstan was 7.02±0.09 days. In addition, the duration of temporary disability in each group of dental diseases was influenced by the following factors: type of nosology, sex and age of the patient, and doctor’s experience. The duration was statistically significantly different depending on the nosological group of dental diseases (p <0.001). The average duration of cases was the greatest in patients with developmental abnormalities and injuries of the maxillofacial region, in whom surgical treatment and follow-up were performed on an outpatient basis (12.18±1.26 and 12.16±0.36 days, respectively).</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> This clinical and statistical study allows us to obtain reliable information about the state of dental morbidity in the economically active population of the Republic of Tatarstan, which is the basis for planning preventive measures, appropriate comprehensive treatment, and rehabilitation of patients.</p>

Development and confirmation of the biological safety of hygiene products for the care of facial prostheses
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/472058
<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Currently, several patients with dental problems continue to suffer from various defects in the maxillofacial region. Therefore, the methods and techniques of orthopedic replacement for these defects, both as a standalone treatment and within a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, must be enhanced. The nature of hygienic care and the means used play an important role in increasing the service life of facial epitheses. Literary sources have shown insufficient research in this area. Domestic and foreign literature is generally devoted to methods and means of hygiene for removable dentures. Moreover, the features of structural materials and methods of fixing facial epitheses require the search for other approaches to hygienic care.</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> To develop hygiene products for facial epitheses and to substantiate their toxicological safety.</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> The care of maxillofacial prostheses using sprays and foams was proposed. To study their cytotoxicity, samples were prepared from photopolymer material for facial prostheses. The samples were treated with spray, foam, or their combination. To test the cytotoxic properties, a primary cell culture of stromal cells isolated from a biopsy of the mucosa of the alveolar process of the mandible was used. The viability of cells and efficiency of the colonization of samples were evaluated after 48 h using culture staining and colorimetric XTT.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Intravital monitoring of stromal cells, extracted from a biopsy of the mucosal lining of the alveolar process in the lower jaw, revealed sustained direct interaction between the cells and the samples, with no signs of necrosis or apoptosis. When staining samples with fixed cells, no red glow of the nuclei of dead cells was detected. The distribution of living cells was uniform in group 4 and less uniform in group 1. The optical density of the medium in each well was significantly different between the groups (p <0.05).</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The proposed hygienic compositions for the care of facial prostheses using sprays and foams do not have toxic properties and can be implemented in clinical practice.</p>

Effect of psychotherapy on the efficacy of treatment for chronic oral mucosal diseases
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/316452
<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Psychological factors negatively affect the development and course of chronic oral mucosal diseases.</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> To evaluate the effect of psychological support on the effectiveness of therapy for lichen planus and chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis.</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> The cohort of a nonrandomized clinical trial involved 64 patients, including 46 women (71.8%) and 18 men (28.2%). The average patient age was 60.3±3.0 years. The patients were divided into groups based on their consent to work with a psychologist. The study group provided consent for psychological support, whereas the comparison group refused psychological support. Anamnestic examination included an assessment of the quality of life, severity of pain syndrome on a visual analog scale, and anxiety on the Beck anxiety inventory. Clinical examination was performed according to the standard method of dental examination.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> After treatment in the study group, a significant decrease in anxiety, a decrease in the severity of pain syndrome, and an improvement in the quality of life were observed. In the comparison group, a tendency to decrease the severity of pain syndrome, without a statistically significant change in the level of anxiety or an improvement in the quality of life, was noted.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Psychological correction in the complex treatment of patients with chronic diseases of the oral mucosa increases patient compliance and the effectiveness of treatment of the underlying disease.</p>

Clinical assessment of the periodontal tissues during complex treatment of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis using herbal rinse
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/568294
<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Preserving the effect of periodontal disease treatment and choosing an individual oral care program are urgent issues in dentistry.</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> To examine the clinical dynamics and index indicators of the state of the oral cavity in patients with mild but chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP) before and after complex treatment using a mouthwash (“Art-Dental Expert”; LLC “KorolevPharm”).</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> The study was conducted in the main (using “Art-Dental Expert” mouthwash) and control (using 0.05% solution of chlorhexidine bigluconate) groups of patients with mild CGP. The state of periodontal tissues was assessed using a simplified hygiene index (OHI-S, Green–Vermillion), probing bleeding index (BOP), papillary–marginal–alveolar index (PMA), and the index of the need for periodontal disease treatment (CPITN).</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> The main group showed positive dynamics of changes in the indices characterizing the state of the periodontium, with a significant difference in indicators when compared with the control group.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The use of “Art-Dental Expert” mouthwash for the treatment of patients with mild CGP has a fast and stable prolonged clinical effect with normalization of qualitative and quantitative indicators of the state of periodontal tissues. The “Art-Dental Expert” mouthwash can be recommended for long-term use.</p>

Functional condition of the temporomandibular joint in civil aviation pilots and flight attendants
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/501793
<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Civil aviation pilots are under constant psychological stress, which is chronic stress. Chronic stress and overexertion are assumed to negatively affect the entire body in general and the maxillary system in particular, changing the morphofunctional condition of maxillofacial muscles and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> To conduct a comprehensive comparative study of the functional state of the dental system of civil aviation pilots and flight attendants, which includes a clinical examination using a simple Hamburg test and TMJ sound vibrography.</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> The study enrolled 30 pilots and 30 flight attendants in the comparison group. The standard clinical examination was performed using the Hamburg test. Vibrographic examination of the TMJ using the BioJVA device from the BioPAK complex (BioResearch, USA) was also conducted.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> In the Hamburg test, joint clicks and traumatic eccentric occlusion were detected more often in pilots than in flight attendants. According to the results of vibrography, cases with an integral index of >80 PaHz were observed two times more often among pilots than among flight attendants. This indicates possible TMJ pathology.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Clinical examination combined with the Hamburg test and vibrography revealed that symptoms of TMJ dysfunction occur much more often among civil aviation pilots than among flight attendants.</p>

Ratio of the transversal dimensions of the dental arch to the index parameters: An experimental clinical study
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/133695
<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: The incidence of malocclusion is increasing annually, which is accompanied by an increase in the number of orthodontic treatment visits. Qualitative diagnostics is the key to successful treatment and an important stage in the prevention of complications, such as recessions, root resorption, and ankylosis.</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> To perform a comparative analysis of the indices for assessing the transversal parameters of the dentition for residents of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region.</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> The width of the combined incisor and the width of the premolars and molars were measured according to the method proposed by A. Pont. Then, the parameters obtained and calculated using the index was compared. All data were statistically processed.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Diagnostic models of 200 patients who fit the criteria for inclusion in the study were used. The results revealed that the index values of the width for patients in our region did not match. Thus, the interpremolar distance was on average 1.5 mm less than that calculated by the index, and the intermolar distance was 1.25 mm less.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Further research is needed to identify new guidelines to increase the reliability of diagnostic measures.</p>

Profilometric analysis of cross-linked collagen matrix for soft tissue thickness augmentation in dental implants: A randomized controlled clinical trial
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/419111
<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Dental implantation is an effective method for rehabilitating patients without teeth. The long-term survival of implants is influenced by various factors, one of which is the condition of the soft tissue surrounding the implant.</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> To evaluate the effectiveness of cross-linked collagen matrix for soft tissue augmentation in the implant area.</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> Thirty-two patients with soft tissue thickness deficiency were examined. The patients were divided into two groups depending on the method of surgery. Group 1 received a cross-linked collagen matrix, whereas group 2 underwent the transplantation of a free connective tissue graft. The increase in soft tissue thickness was assessed 3 and 6 months after surgery.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Soft tissue thickness 3 months after surgery increased by 1.77±0.61 and 1.26±0.41 mm in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p <0.001). Moreover, 6 months after surgery, soft tissue thickness increased by 1.11±0.44 and 1.43±0.81 mm compared with the initial value (p=0.012).</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The use of the collagen matrix increases the soft tissue thickness in the implant area; however, the effect size is lower than that obtained by autograft transplantation.</p>

Russian system of nanostructured titanium dental implants
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/352539
<p>Despite the progress in the development of modern dentistry and maxillofacial surgery and significant improvements in diagnostic, surgical, and restoration methods, currently, the number of patients with tooth loss is not decreasing. This trend is also characteristic of modern Russia. The number of implants installed to replace lost teeth in our country is increasing annually; despite this, the share of implantation systems with full localization in the territory of the Russian Federation is small. This study aimed to demonstrate the possibilities and effectiveness of using a Russian-made innovative system of dental implants made of nanostructured titanium in various clinical cases. The results of dental rehabilitation of patients with orthopedic structures supported by dental implants with a follow-up period of up to 5 years were analyzed. The results were presented with an indication of all stages of treatment of patients using modern methods of complex dental rehabilitation.</p>

Features of the organization of dental care in besieged Leningrad
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/567988
<p>Not much information is available about the provision of dental care during the Great Patriotic War, and publications concerning dental care in besieged Leningrad are even limited. All dental care during the war in the country was mainly aimed at treating wounds on the face. On the home front, dental care was provided to workers and employees working in the defense industry. Therefore, medical and sanitary units were created at large defense enterprises, which included closed hospitals, polyclinics, and outpatient clinics. Three frontline evacuation hospitals were located in the clinics of the Military Medical Academy, where the doctors and entire medical staff of the academy worked. The chief dentist of the Red Army, David Abramovich Entin, and the chief dentist of the navy, Vladimir Mikhailovich Uvarov were primarily responsible for the organization of dental care and specialized assistance to servicemen with maxillofacial wounds. The hospitals were formed based on the clinics of the 1st Leningrad Medical Institute, including clinics for maxillofacial surgery. At the 2nd Leningrad Medical Institute during the blockade, extremely urgent problems related to combating scurvy developed. The Central State Institute of Traumatology named after Professor R.R. Vreden, where A.A. Limberg and his colleagues worked, occupied an important place in the provision of surgical and orthopedic care in besieged Leningrad. Dental care in besieged Leningrad was provided as part of medical and preventive institutions. As of November 1, 1942, dental outpatient clinics of Vasileostrovsky, Volodarsky, Kuibyshevsky, and Petrogradsky districts were successfully functioning. After the end of the siege in 1944, active work began on the restoration of the city. During the reconstruction of the city, the number of new medical institutions has also increased. In the autumn of 1944, the construction of the second clinical base of the State Institute for Further Training of Physicians was completed, in which the clinic of reconstructive maxillofacial surgery was located. The problem of the health of people who survived the blockade of Lenin remains relevant today, many decades later. Numerous publications have been devoted to generalizing the experience of treating wounded with maxillofacial injuries in combat conditions.</p>

Origins of the development of systems for the provision of medical care to maxillofacial wounds and the training and advanced training of military dentists
https://rjdentistry.com/1728-2802/article/view/472070
<p>The purpose of the article is to highlight the origins of the development of systems for providing medical care to the maxillofacial wounded, training and advanced training of military dentists, which have not been discussed in modern specialized literature. The basis for the preparation of the article is the analysis of the Russian specialized literature on maxillofacial surgery and dentistry, as well as historical publications on these disciplines.</p> <p>The development of systems for the provision of medical care to the maxillofacial wounded, training and advanced training of military dentists, carried out under the auspices of the Department of Dentistry of the Military Medical Academy, allowed in 1940 to adopt a unified military doctrine on the provision of medical care to the maxillofacial wounded. The leading role in this belonged to the Leningrad team of dentists and maxillofacial surgeons, headed by Professor D.A. Entin, whose employees have done a lot of work to help the maxillofacial wounded, both in combat conditions and in the rear. Thanks to scientific and applied activities of the staff of the Department of Dentistry of the Military Medical Academy, the work of maxillofacial surgeons and dentists during the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945 was effective and fruitful.</p>
