Adhesively cemented fixed, partial prosthetic restorations used in the lateral 
segment of the dental arch – literature review

Introduction: Third molars are the last teeth to erupt through the oral cavity and in some cases they are congenitally missing, display impaction or remain included. There are many reasons for their removal: decay, lack of space in the dental arch or problems during its eruption. During surgical extraction, oral tissues may be injured, which causes painful symptoms and edema. To combat these surgical complications, it is necessary the use of drugs that fight inflammation, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids. To obtain best results, the combination of NSAIDs and steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used in patients, either as preemptive medication and as postoperative medication. Objective: Performing a literature review in order to determine which drug classes have better postoperative outcomes for pain and swelling in of third molars extraction. Materials and methods: Studies present in SciELO, Lilacs and Pubmed databases published between 2000-2014 were included. Final considerations: Corticosteroids are used preemptively in order to reduce swelling frame, while NSAIDs have greater use in the postoperative period, in an attempt to reduce the pain.

Status Position

Orthodontic movement of a maxillary canine into the dental arch may be a therapeutic challenge, and it is necessary to analyse a case in detail and to evaluate therapeutic methods, including a difficult decision of tooth extraction in all cases. Aim. The paper aims to discuss orthodontic indications for maxillary canine extraction based on available literature. Material and methods. The PubMed database and the following key words were used for studies: canine impaction, maxillary impacted canine and canine extraction. Literature was supplemented with publications from reviewed journals not included in the PubMed database. 50 papers were selected from the literature list. Results, review and discussion. A decision to extract a maxillary canine should be made based on a detailed clinical examination and analysis of orthodontic records, including photographs, diagnostic models and radiological scans. CBCT imaging test should be performed as standard before treatment in case of impaired tooth eruption. Factors that should be especially considered include: tooth anatomy, periodontal status, position in the bone, occlusion, condition of the adjacent teeth and any pathological processes in the tooth vicinity. Before making a therapeutic decision a patient should be informed about available therapeutic options according to current medical knowledge, as well as about advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Summary. Factors favouring extraction of impacted canines or canines with impaired eruption include: unfavourable position (a horizontal position of a tooth in the bone, position in the zone IV and V according to Kurol, large distance from the edge of the alveolar process), anatomical abnormality (root angulation, external or internal resorption), root ankylosis, patient’s age above 30 years and good occlusion without a canine in the dental arch with the need to extract a premolar for its movement into the dental arch.

Being Moved

Maxillary molar distalisation is one of treatment methods for patients with Angle class II. Intraoral appliances supported by patient’s own teeth inevitably lead to loss of anchorage. Mini-implants are additionally used to reduce this side effect. The area of the hard palate is the best anatomical place to attach mini-implants, and it provides the lowest risk of complications. Aim. To present issues associated with appliances used for maxillary molar distalisation that are based on bone anchorage in the hard palate region. Material and methods. The literature review using the PubMed database and the Polish Medical Bibliography with the following key words: molar distalisation, orthodontic miniimplants, skeletal anchorage. 37 positions from the years 1996–2018 were selected and analysed. Results. As a result of the literature review, 37 articles describing nine distalisation appliances modelled on three basic constructions: Pendulum, Distal Jet and Keles Slider, and the MCPP appliance were identified. Summary. Distalising appliances supported by palatal mini-implants do not lead to loss of anchorage in the anterior segment. At the stage of anterior teeth retraction they can be used for stabilisation of the distalised segment. They are less visible compared to extraoral appliances or those placed on the external side of the dental arch. They can be used simultaneously with fixed braces or during preparation for subsequent therapy with fixed braces. Depending on the design, they are not free of the side effects typical of the prototypes they originate from, i.e. rotation and inclination of molars. The most parallel distal movement of teeth is made possible by appliances whose force acts at the height of the CR (centre of resistance) of teeth being moved.

The Subject

The study is part of the area of legal or forensic dentistry, which is a branch of Dentistry, specialized in helping the Judiciary Branch through the identification of marks and injuries caused by the dental arch, which is unique to each human being. The theme chosen for the research is relevant, as I identify with the subject and expand my professional knowledge. Aiming at the article, the description through a brief literature review, historical approach and the contribution of the Odontolegist's work in Post-Mortem. The realization of this work was based on research, such as: monographs, scientific articles and some research sites, such as Google. In its development, I show some cases where we have evidence and samples of human bites, their description and identification. It is concluded that the process of analysis of the Dentist is essential in the examinations of the body of crime and also in the knowledge of bite marks, charred bodies and all other elements that involve the oral cavity. This qualified professional works in favor of legal truth.

Masticatory Organ

Premature loss of a deciduous tooth is its loss 3 to 4 years before its physiological replacement, in other words – one year before the date of physiological resorption of its roots. The most common reasons for premature loss of deciduous teeth include complications of caries such as: pulp gangrene, periodontitis, inflammation of the periapical area, periapical lesions, abscesses, and osteitis. Mechanical traumas and cysts belong to other reasons. Direct consequences of premature loss of a deciduous tooth include inhibition of growth of the alveolar process bone of the maxilla or alveolar part of the mandible in the area where a tooth is missing. Presence of space in the dental arch leads to various dental displacements such as tooth displacement along the arch, rotations, inclinations. It leads to dental abnormalities, including secondary crowding, dental abnormalities associated with time and place of eruption of permanent teeth, arch midline shift, and Godon’s effect. Consequences of premature loss of deciduous teeth also include worsening of pre-existing malocclusions and dysfunctions of the masticatory organ associated with chewing, speech and swallowing. Aim. The paper aimed to present consequences of premature loss of deciduous teeth and to determine indications for prophylactic treatment. Material and methods. A review of literature in Polish and English from the period 2006–2017 was performed using PubMed, PBL, Embase, Scopus databases. “Premature loss of deciduous teeth” was a key word. Results. Consequences of premature loss of various groups of deciduous teeth were presented and indications for prophylactic treatment were discussed based on literature collected. Conclusions. The analysis performed concluded that due to various consequences of premature loss of deciduous teeth orthodontic management is recommended in many cases in order to minimise consequences of premature loss of deciduous teeth.

And Training

Computerized auditory training (CAT) is a convenient, low-cost approach to improving communication of individuals with hearing loss or other communicative disorders. A number of CAT programs are being marketed to patients and audiologists. The present literature review is an examination of evidence for the effectiveness of CAT in improving speech perception in adults with hearing impairments. Six current CAT programs, used in 9 published studies, were reviewed. In all 9 studies, some benefit of CAT for speech perception was demonstrated. Although these results are encouraging, the overall quality of available evidence remains low, and many programs currently on the market have not yet been evaluated. Thus, caution is needed when selecting CAT programs for specific patients. It is hoped that future researchers will (a) examine a greater number of CAT programs using more rigorous experimental designs, (b) determine which program features and training regimens are most effective, and (c) indicate which patients may benefit from CAT the most.
