431 minutes; 95% confidence interval [CI] 34.01 to 212.851; P = .007), lower pain score at the fourth and eighth postoperative hours (4 hr-WMD 2.757; 95% CI 0.893 to 4.62; P = .004; 8 hr-WMD 1.697; 95% CI 1.178 to 2.216; P less then .001), and lower number of analgesics requirement (WMD 0.663; 95% CI 0.258 to 1.067; P = .001). The onset of anesthesia was slower for bupivacaine (WMD 0.865 minutes; 95% CI 0.799 to 0.931; P less then .001). However, for success of anesthesia (risk ratio 1.003; 95% CI 0.972 to 1.035; P = .831) and duration of analgesia (WMD 45.285 minutes; 95% CI -48.021 to 138.537; P = .342), the local anesthetic agents showed no significant differences. Conclusions Except for the onset of anesthesia, bupivacaine showed better anesthetic and analgesic properties than other local anesthetic agents for mandibular third molar surgery.An edentulous posterior maxilla can present a challenge for placement of dental implants due to the proximity of the maxillary sinus. Sinus augmentation is a surgical bone grafting procedure aimed to increase the bone height for implant support. A number of sinus augmentation techniques have been presented and the outcomes show good implant success rates. In order to achieve the desirable outcomes, it is important to gain knowledge of the maxillary sinus anatomy and complete a thorough preoperative evaluation. Being aware of the location of vasculature, nerves, and the presence of septa will help reduce the risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications. This review provides a narrative clinical overview related to the anatomy, preoperative evaluation, contraindications, techniques, postoperative care, outcome measures, and complications of sinus augmentation procedures.Objectives Long-term retrospective evaluation of the survival rate and the technical and biologic outcomes of all-ceramic inlays and onlays in premolars and molars. Method and materials Fifty-four patients treated as part of a prospective clinical trial and having received 157 inlays and 27 onlays made out of a leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic (IPS Empress) in premolars and molars, were invited to the present follow-up examination. The survival of the restorations was evaluated. The biologic outcomes were assessed by measuring the pocket probing depth (PPD), the Plaque Index (PI), and the Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI). The technical behavior was evaluated using modified US Public Health Service criteria (modUSPHS). Finally, patient satisfaction was recorded with a questionnaire. Data of patients and restored teeth were analyzed descriptively, and continuous variables were given in mean values and standard deviations. For the analysis of the restoration survival over time, the Kaplan-Meier survival estimate was calculated. The level of statistical significance was set at P less then .05. Results Thirty-six patients (20 women, 16 men; mean age 50.9 years) with 132 restorations, 107 inlays and 25 onlays, were examined after a mean observation time of 11.2 ± 4.3 years. The overall 11-year survival rate of the 132 restorations was 80.3%. Inlays exhibited an 11-year survival rate of 80.4% and onlays of 80.0%. Twenty-two technical complications occurred. Ceramic fractures (10.6%) and chipping (2.3%) were the most frequent complications. Six biologic complications occurred (4.5%). Scutellarin order Conclusion Glass-ceramic inlays and onlays presented favorable long-term clinical survival and success rates. Technical complications were predominant, and biologic problems remained rare. More clinical long-term data are needed.Objectives To assess the relationship between the development of denture-related stomatitis (DRS) and the identification of commonly isolated yeast species, and to evaluate various predisposing factors in Saudi participants wearing new removable dental prostheses. Method and materials A total of 75 edentulous male participants were recruited, and 64 patients finished the present case-series. All participants received new conventional complete dentures. Colonization of Candida species was assessed, and species were identified by means of the VITEK 2 (bioMérieux) laboratory components. Results The most prevalent type of Candida at baseline was C albicans, followed by non-C albicans species (C glabrata). Counts of Candida species significantly increased from the day of insertion to the first month (P .05). Patients revealing habits of sleeping with their dentures were found to frequently suffer from DRS; development of the latter was rapid, and mixed Candida biofilms (with high CFU/mL counts), along with inadequate oral and denture hygiene, turned out to be contributing factors (P less then .05). Conclusion DRS can develop faster than previously reported, even with new dentures; continued denture wearing and poor cleaning of dentures revealed a considerable impact on DRS onset. In the present cohort, C albicans was the most identified kind of yeast, and was followed by C glabrata infection in cases with DRS.Objectives In the present pilot, multicenter, randomized, single-blinded, controlled study, surgical treatment with or without the administration of D-PLEX500 (a biodegradable prolonged release local doxycycline formulated with β-tricalcium phosphate bone graft) was accessed for the treatment of peri-implantitis. Method and materials Subjects undergoing surgical treatment for intrabony peri-implantitis defects after flap elevation were randomly assigned, to adjunct D-PLEX500 placement group or to control group. Clinical and radiographic parameters were measured at 6 and 12 months. Results Twenty-seven subjects (average age 64.81 ± 7.61 years) were enrolled; 14 patients (18 implants) were randomized to the test group and 13 (14 implants) to the control group. There was no difference in plaque scores between the groups. There was no difference in the changes of mean periodontal probing depth between the test and control groups between baseline and the 6-month follow-up, whereas statistically significant difference was observed after 12 months' follow-up when analyzed for all sites averaged. There was a statistically significant difference in the changes of clinical attachment levels and radiographic bone levels between the groups between baseline and 12 months. These improvements were demonstrated when analyzed at both implant and subject levels. Only D-PLEX500 treatment led to improved bone levels at both time points. The improvement in bone levels was significant in the D-PLEX500 treatment group already after 6 months, and further improved over the 12-month follow-up. Implants were lost only in the control group (14%). Conclusions D-PLEX500 sustained release local antibiotic formulated with bone filler showed promising results in enabling healing of peri-implantitis lesions. The antibacterial component of the bone graft material might create favorable conditions that enable implant surface decontamination and soft and hard tissue healing over a prolonged period.
