Abstract:
Aerosol ceramic bonded titanium substructures and abutments
Ceramic coated dental abutments offer dental professionals an alternative to zircon abutments in anterior regions of the
mouth for esthetics and strength. For many decades dental professionals and dental patients had no alternative for titanium
abutments. Esthetics became a problem in many cases as the tissue is translucent, a grey shadow of the alloy would be visible
under the tissue above or below the porcelain fused to metal or all ceramic restorations. Dental ceramic manufacturers attempted
to resolve the problem with a hand applied bonding agent applied with a brush to the abutment and fired. The next step was to
brush on a tooth-colored opaque over the bonding layer to hide the grey alloy. This method was both times consuming and if
there was an area that was applied too thick in the bonder the ceramic would delaminate from the abutment or substructure.
The alternative became the use of zircon abutments as they are white in color. Even with the strength as with any ceramic when
it is thin and unsupported it will break. The problem with zircon used in the anterior regions of the mouth is many times they
are small and break during seating or afterward when stressed by the patient in bruxing or biting into food which applied
stresses to the anterior restorations causing the zircon abutment to break off the implant in the mouth. To resolve this problem
the best alternative was to apply ceramic binder and opaque with the aerosol application. The aerosol application provided the
thin even layer of bonder to the abutment or substructure for the optimal strength of bonding colored ceramic to the abutment.
This application resulted in the strongest ceramic bond to titanium in the dental profession and the strength of titanium without
the grey shadow under the translucent tissue.

Abstract:
Clinical evaluation between zirconia crowns and stainless steel crowns in primary molars teeth
Introduction and Research Problem: The aim of this project is to evaluate and compare two full coronal restorations on
primary posterior molars over a period of 3, 6 and 12 months in terms of restoration failure, marginal integrity, proximal
contact, secondary caries, occlusion and gingival response. The restorations types are Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC) and NuSmile
Zirconia Crowns (Nu/ZR).
Materials and Methods: Children attending the King Abdulaziz University, Faculty of Dentistry (KAUFD) clinics who need
restorations will be screened for inclusion criteria till 120 teeth are recruited (60 teeth for SSC restorations and 60 for Nu/ZR
restorations). The split-mouth technique will be used to ensure equalizing variables for both groups, each patient will have side
restored with SSC and the opposite side will be restored with Nu/ZR crowns. Randomization will be done using SPSS software
version 20.0 (Armonk, NY; IBM Corp.) for each age group separately with a uniform random variable generation. A simple
descriptive statistics will be used for analysis and a T-Test with Wilcoxon Signed-Rank will be used. Level of significance will be
set at (α = 0.05) and level of confidence at (95%).
Summary of Results: At 6th month all samples under group Zirconia already improved while only 73.3% from SSC while the
remaining samples happened to have positive changes at the 12th month. Regarding the plaque retention also the zirconia
crowns shows improve performance than SSC.
Conclusion and Recommendations: As both SSC and Zirconia crowns presented to be an excellent choice for posterior teeth
restorations, however, we can conclude that zirconia crowns performed better regarding gingival response to the material of
restoration and plaque retention despite its high cost.

Abstract:
WOW effect, client capture using digital technologies
Clients capture using digital technologies, both for laboratories and for dental clinics. Today, a modern dentist and technician
have a great opportunity to digitize the patient completely. These are face scans and intraoral scans. Advantages of the
laboratory that has acquired these technologies: We can provide dentistry services for "Off-site Laboratory", where our specialist
arrives from the laboratory with the equipment, within 20 minutes completely digitizes the patient, conducts a scan of the face,
oral cavity and immediately proceeds to the laptop to simulate a virtual wax -up adjusting the aesthetics in the presence of a
patient and a doctor, the result is immediately visible on the screen, rotating the patient's 3D face. This business policy in our
practice has attracted a large number of new orders, within 3 months, increasing the turnover of the laboratory by 300%. A
dentist having such a technology makes a great impression on the patient, the shape and aesthetics of a smile can be adjusted
in the presence of a patient, you can create a future design together, patients like it very much, send it to a mobile device for
viewing at home. The advantage of an intraoral scanner: after scanning the oral cavity in color, you can display the state of teeth
and bite on the large screen, increasing and rotating the scanned jaws, which is more convincing for the patient in the need to
treat other teeth. Another application of the intraoral scanner is the "Smile Bank" where you can offer young people the service
to scan their beautiful teeth and save STL files in the cloud and if necessary even after 20-40 years you can always go back to the
dentist with the request to restore the smile of his youth, having their own young scans. This is just some area of application of
digital technologies for increasing the comfort and profit that I would like to share.

Abstract:
Effect of different teas of surface roughness of resin composite
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different teas on surface roughness of anterior composites. In this study
Gradia direct Anterior, Clearfil Mejisty ES-2, Tokuyama Estelite quick and filtek ultimate were used as the composite material.
The teas used in the study were Lipton and Rosehip, Lipton black tea & Lipton green tea. For each tea groups 10 samples each
different composite material was prepared. Each sample was polymerized from upper from bottom surface for 20 seconds was
stored in distilled water at 37oC for 24 hours. Surface roughness measurements were performed at the beginning, at the end of
the 15th day and at the end of the one- month by using profilometer. Each composite material was kept in 3 different teas for 30
minutes for twice a day for one month during the morning and evening. Data were statistically analyzed by using one-way Anova
(p< 0.05) initial surface roughness value of Gradia direct anterior (0.751- Ra) and Filtek ultimate (0.900- Ra) presented higher
than other two composites(p< 0.05).Surface roughness value of all composites storage in Rosehip tea, Black tea, and Green tea
exhibited similar results at the end of one month. Significant differences were observed among teas for Filtek Ultimate, Gradia
Direct Anterior and Tokuyama Estelite Quick at the end of one month. Surface properties of composites used in this study were
found to be stable. Tokuyama Estelite quick presented the minimum surface roughness value while the maximum value was
Filtek Ultimate.

Abstract:
Study of the effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine (PVP-I) 2% as an anti-oedematous agent in third molar
surgery
A single-blind randomized control trial was carried out on 50 healthy outpatients who required surgical removal of
mandibular third molars under local anesthesia were selected. The patients were divided into 2 groups (n=25), the
treatment (PVP-I) and control group (normal saline). The treatment group patients were irrigated using PVP-I 2% (w/v)
(Betadine, Win- Medicare, India) during bone guttering and tooth sectioning. The control group patients were irrigated with
saline (sodium chloride 0.9%, w/v; Parenteral Drugs, India) only. Procedures that exceeded more than 1 hour were excluded
from the study. Using Pederson difficulty index, patients with moderately difficulty index were chosen. All parameters for
swelling were recorded preoperatively, on the first, second and seventh postoperative days for both procedures. The data were
statistically analyzed using SPSS (version 22.0) software. Independent t-test was applied for an operative time in minutes and
the two groups matched (p>0.05) for operative time. For change in swelling, T-tests was applied and we found an increase in
swelling in the saline group which was highly significant for change from preoperative to day 2 (p=0.005) and from preoperative
to day 7 (p-value<0.001). Mean for Pederson index for betadine and saline group was found out to be same (P=1). PVP-I 2%
was found out to be significantly reducing swelling as compared to saline suggesting that it acts as an anti-oedematous agent in
mandibular third molar surgery.

Abstract:
Basic aspects of bone reaction to implants
A large variety of metal and ceramic devices are being introduced, on a daily basis, into bones. The appliances are implanted
in order to enhance healing, function and mobility. Bone repair adjacent to implants is a multi-factorial process wherein,
the foreign material is required, ideally, to produce a state of non-interference with normal osseous regeneration. The added
value of implant introduction comprises restoration of biomechanical properties. Ultimately, this process should involve an
improved formation of the mineralized matrix at the injured sites and an enhanced positive shift of bone remodeling balance.
Specifically, implant effect on bone healing involves a range of environmental, endocrine, mechanical and chemical variables
leading to changes in tissue, cell and gene expression. This is presented by the enhancement of guided action of osteoblasts and
chondroblast to produce osseous tissues that restore the skeletal load bearing capacity. Concomitantly, osteoclasts are involved
in the shaping of tissue healing. Recently, regulatory aspects of bone remodeling have been revealed. The findings disclosed
new modalities for induction, enhancement and guided repair in conditions such as intraosseous implants, nonunion fractures
and critical size defects. Various approaches to the treatment of these conditions are currently under basic, translational and
clinical research. These range from advanced methods for tissue engineering, gene and cell therapies involving identification
of active molecular target approach to the development of sophisticated biomaterials for implant surgery. In view of the
multidisciplinary nature of these efforts, the present talk addresses modern aspects of bone healing, with a special attempt to
enhance convergence of different experimental and clinical approaches designed for the study of implants and bone healing in
its diverse forms and under various conditions. The information and ideas provided should be of value for the understanding
of implant rejection in particular and at a broader view, to the experimental skeletal biologists and clinicians in the perception
of healing and regenerative processes.
