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.

Abstract:
A paradigm shifts global trends of oral cancer: A call to action
Oral cancer is a significant cause of public health concern in both developing and developed nations. Oral cancer is a widely
prevalent cancer type in developing countries and although it is less prevalent in developed western countries in recent
times a change in trend has been observed due to changes in lifestyle. Global estimates reveal that the incidence of oral cancer
varies from 1 to 10 cases per 100,000 people in most countries. Even though revolutionary changes have taken place in early
diagnosis and treatment planning in the last decade but there is any significant improvement in the five-year survival rate. For
control of oral cancer, an idea of the coverage of the same in the various regions is necessary. A changing trend in incidence and
prevalence of oral cancer has also been observed with more women and youngsters being affected by oral cancer. The present
paper is aimed to discuss the epidemiological situation and coverage of oral cancer in various regions to facilitate the health
policy makers in planning and implementing an effective prevention and control programme for oral cancer with emphasis on
recent data and study the trends in oral cancer globally.

Abstract:
Medical considerations relating to the oral health
The human body is comprised of complex systems, which are interconnected with each other. Because of the way, the
human body is made, one organ of the body can have an impact on other organs of it. Oral health affects people physically
and psychologically and influences how they grow, enjoy life, look, speak, chew, taste food and socialize, as well as their feelings
of social well-being. The oral hygiene measures related to professional level, level of education and periodontal maintenance.
Some studies report that oral health has an impact on food choice and on the intake of key nutrients, causing various nutritional
problems. Recent researches on oral and general health have shown a link between the two. With more than 90% of systemic
diseases having oral symptoms. These symptoms can include swollen gums, sores, ulcers, dry mouth and more. The following
diseases are an example of a systemic disease which has symptoms expressed in the mouth like diabetes, leukemia, oral cancer,
pancreatic cancer, heart disease and kidney disease. Research has also shown that poor dental hygiene and gum disease can
directly increase the risk of heart disease, heart attack, diabetes, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis and even stroke. Women with
poor dental health have also shown higher rates of preterm and low birth weight children. To prevent these health issues,
practicing good oral hygiene is very important. People at an early age should get into good practices. Regular dental visits,
brushing regularly, flossing and watching what they eat are all important steps in preventing dental diseases and keeping them
in good health.

Abstract:
Betel nut chewing in the greater New York/New Jersey area: Any consequence
According to the NYU Center for the study of Asian American Health, the New York City Metropolitan area is home to the
largest concentration of South Asians in the United States. The chewing of “betel nut” and related products is common
to these immigrants from countries including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and the Maldives among
others. Betel quid and its constituent areca nut are known risk factors for many oral and esophageal cancers. However, the
lack of awareness regarding adverse effects of the areca nut among its users, limited understanding of its cultural role among
healthcare providers and lack of global policy for control of the substance has resulted in what has been termed a global public
health emergency. Within a six-month period from October 2017 to March 2018, three cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma
among the South Asian immigrant population have been diagnosed at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson, NJ and
treated using wide local excision and reconstructive flap surgery. In each case, the patient admitted to a history of ten or more
years of betel nut chewing. Considering these cases, the purpose of this article is to report on the incidence of oral squamous
cell carcinoma in the greater New York and New Jersey area secondary to betel nut use.

1,2,3Ministry of Health, Saudi Arabia
Dental caries is the most common chronic infectious disease in children affecting both sexes. It is multifactorial in
origin that is influenced by biomedical factors (diet, microorganism, and tooth) and the social determinants of health.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between dental caries and gender, body mass index (BMI) and
socioeconomic status (SES) in Saudi children aged 2-12-year-old seen in Jeddah Speciality Dental Center. The study included
59 caries-free children and 118 children with caries experience. Personal data and family SES were assessed by a questionnaire.
Children were examined for caries according to WHO criteria. Based on the age and sex-specific Centre for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) 2000 growth charts, the weight status of the children were categorized by the BMI percentile into 4
groups: underweight (< 5th percentile), normal weight (5th to < 85th percentile), overweight (85th to < 95th percentile) and
obese (≥ 95th percentile). BMI percentile values for the children was generated using a web-based calculator on a CDC website
(http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx)5. Of 177 participated children, 47% (n=84) were males. The mean age of
children was 5.8 years. Chi-square test showed that there is no association between caries status and gender and BMI groups,
p-value = 0.74 and 0.87, respectively. However, the significant association between dental caries and lower family monthly
income was observed with p-value < 0.001. Additionally, caries experience was also associated with the lower parental educational
level (p-value ≤ 0.001). No significant associations of dental caries were found with gender and all 4 categories of BMI for
the selected age in this study sample. Pairwise comparison showed the negative association between dental caries and SES.
Moreover, a significantly less number of children with caries was observed for highly educated mothers.

Abstract:
Oral submucous fibrosis- A dreadful malady for the ages
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) has been well established in Indian Medical Literature since the time of Sushruta. In
modern literature, this condition was first described by Schwartz in 1952. It is a chronic, insidious, progressive, irreversible,
crippling fibrotic disorder which not only involves the submucosa of the oral cavity and oropharynx but sometimes also
the esophagus and rarely the larynx. OSMF is well recognized “precancerous condition” which is characterized by changes
in the connective tissue fibers of the lamina propria and its deeper parts leading to stiffness of the mucosa and ultimately
restricted mouth opening. All forms of tobacco, excessive chili consumption, nutritional deficiencies, areca nut/betel nut usage,
immunologic derangements and much more have been suggested in its pathogenesis, but areca nut is implicated as the prime
etiologic agent. Areca nut chewing is a habit practiced predominately in Southeast Asia and India since time immemorial, but
alarmingly this condition is now being reported from Western countries as well. Reduced mouth opening, inability to whistle
or blow out, recurrent oral ulcers, burning sensation in the mouth, difficulty in swallowing, nasal voice, hesitation while
socializing with others etc., adversely influence the quality of life of such patients. OSMF’s malignant potential, psychological
distress, restriction of social activities, diminished physical health, economic problems related to treatment are bourgeoning
matters of concern which demand our pressing attention. These appeals for treatment of OSMF which aims at the release of
fibrosis to provide a long-term stable mouth opening primarily. Various treatment modalities are practiced at our institution
for the management of OSMF, which will be discussed in this oral presentation.

Title: Human dentin as an autologous bone grafting material
Biography:
Greta Kersyte is a third-year dental student from Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LUHS). A delegate of Lithuania in International Association of Dental
Students (IADS) and a Liaison Officer of Editorial Board for IADS Magazine where she has written 9 articles so far. She has been doing practice in Maxillofacial
and Oral Surgery department in LUHS, also has done an Erasmus exchange program in University of Barcelona. From the first year very interested in the surgical
field and doing a clinical study about the usage of autologous dentin.
Abstract:
Human dentin as an autologous bone grafting material
Regenerative dentistry has a need to develop better bone grafting materials. Bone augmentations and guided bone regeneration
(GBR) offers the clinician a chance to solve the problem of space deficiency due to morphologic and pathologic problems
of insufficient bone volume or space. Bone grafting materials are commonly categorized into 4 major categories: autogenous
bone, alloplastic bone, allograft bone, xenograft bone. There has been made many studies on how each type of bone graft is
effective in the GBR procedure and autologous bone graft is considered by many to be the "golden standard" due to its ability for
osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction. Its advantage is the rapid healing time without immune rejection. However
the shortcomings of an autologous bone are that the harvest amount is limited, resorption after the graft is unavoidable and
that there is another surgical site for the patient other than the area of the defect. We are studying the use of autologous bone
as grafting material for alveolar socket preservation after the third molar extraction. In control group after 3 months (n=11)
the depth of periodontal socket was 4.63 +- 0.48mm whereas in study group (n=13) 1.43 +-0.35mm. Patients also confirmed
that food stuck less to the site which was grafted. So this video presentation will focus on human dentin which can be used as
an autologous bone grafting material.
