Retromolar Canal Diagnosed by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography and its Influence in Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Eliana Dantas Costa, João Henrique Parise Fortes, Pedro Bastos Cruvinel, Hugo Gaêta-Araujo, Lucas Moreira Mendonça, et al. Odovtos International Journal of Dental Sciences, 2023 The aim of this study was to observed the anesthetic efficacy of the alveolar nerve block on nine patients that CBCT diagnosed unilateral retromolar canal on a double-blind, split-mouth approach. The assessments of patient response to thermal (pulp vitality test) and pressure (compression of soft tissue) stimuli were carried out before and 5 minutes after the inferior alveolar nerve block procedure, using both visual analog scale (VAS) and Mc Gill pain questionnaires (McG). The mean percentage of patient response decreased after alveolar nerve block, according to both VAS and McG, and was statistically similar among hemi mandibles with and without retromolar canal (Wilcoxon>0.05); however, those without retromolar canal presented greater reduction in patient response in 6 out of 9 cases. Therefore, the retromolar canal is not a determinant factor of inferior alveolar nerve block failure.
Repair of Dental Restorations: A 10-year Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Data PB Cruvinel, AE Souza-Gabriel, BGR Gonçalves, A De Rossi, LL Finco, et al. Operative Dentistry, 2022 SUMMARY Objectives This study collected and analyzed clinical data regarding the repair of dental restorations in patients treated in the clinics of a dental school over 10 years. Methods and Materials Data related to repair procedures for permanent tooth restorations were extracted from the digital dental records system and filtered according to year (January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2017), age (<30, 30–60, >60), tooth group, and dental surfaces. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics in terms of the absolute and relative frequency, and chi-square tests (95% confidence) were used to compare the frequency of repairs between years, age, tooth, and dental surfaces. Results A total of 48,915 dental records were accessed by searching for general restorative procedures, of which 1,408 were repairs of dental restorations on permanent teeth. The number of repairs per year increased over the period assessed, and there was a significant increase in the years 2016 and 2017. Individuals aged between 30 and 60 years received the largest number of repairs, with significantly more repairs than the other groups. Regarding the tooth group and surface, the canines and the incisal and lingual surfaces received the least number of repairs. Conclusions The number of repairs increased over the study period. When comparing frequencies between groups, those belonging to the 30- to 60-years of age group received more repairs; the least repaired surfaces were the lingual and the incisal.
Clinical decision-making in anterior resin composite restorations: a multicenter evaluation. Bruna Neves de Freitas, Karen Pintado-Palomino, Cecília V. V. Barros de Almeida, Pedro Bastos Cruvinel, Aline Evangelista Souza-Gabriel, et al. Journal of Dentistry, 2021 OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether a sample of anterior resin composite restorations could be differently evaluated in different centers of evaluation by clinical and lay evaluators. METHODS Anterior resin composite restorations on high-quality intraoral digital photography were evaluated using FDI criteria (1-5 score) by pairs of clinical and lay evaluators in Brazil (BR), France (FR), Peru (PE), and the United States of America (USA). Scores were allocated as maintenance (1, 2, 3), repair (4) and replacement (5) when comparing clinical evaluators and, as acceptable (1, 2, 3) and unacceptable (4, 5) when comparing clinical vs. lay evaluators and lay vs. lay evaluators. The Chi-square test compared the frequencies of scores among the centers. RESULTS The frequencies of maintaining, repairing, or replacing anterior resin composite restorations given by clinical evaluators varied depending on the evaluation center. BR and PE showed the highest frequencies for repair and replacement, while FR and USA showed the highest frequencies for maintenance. The comparison of frequencies of anterior resin composite restorations accepted or unaccepted by the clinical vs lay evaluators in the same centers showed a significantly higher frequency of acceptable dental restorations coming from clinical evaluators. Comparison between lay evaluators from different centers showed significant higher frequency of unacceptable dental restorations by BR, compared to other centers. CONCLUSION In the evaluation of anterior resin composite restorations, the maintenance, repair, or replacement trends can vary among different centers. The unacceptable rate came more frequently from lay than from clinical evaluators. Lay evaluators from different centers differed significantly.
Can diagnostic changes caused by cone beam computed tomography alter the clinical decision in impacted lower third molar treatment plan? Lucas Moreira Mendonça, Hugo Gaêta-Araujo, Pedro Bastos Cruvinel, Ingrid Wenzel Tosin, Marcelo Rodrigues Azenha, et al. Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 2021 Objectives: This study observed whether changes in diagnosis caused by analysis of three-dimensional images can lead to alterations in the treatment plans of impacted lower third molars (ILTMs). Methods: Sets of panoramic (PAN) – cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of 218 patients were assessed for ILTM classification, contact with mandibular canal, contact and resorption of the lower second molar (LSM), intraoperative planning and post-operative expectations. Results: Percentage agreement and McNemar test compared PAN vs CBCT assessments. Logistic regression analyzed the dependency of change in surgical planning considering the changes in diagnostic features; descriptive statistics was used to observe the expectation of post-operative complications and paresthesia. Differences were found between PAN vs CBCT for classification of impaction and positioning, LSM relationship, choice for crown and root sectioning and expectation of post-operative complications (all with p < 0.001). Logistic regression indicated that the change in diagnosis caused by CBCT examination did not change the clinical decision to extract ILTM but altered the planning of intraoperative steps such as osteotomy, crown sectioning and relaxing incision. The expectation of post-operative complications decreased when professionals planned the ILTM removal using tri-dimensional images. Conclusions: We concluded that changes in the diagnosis after CBCT examination can lead to alterations in the treatment plan of impacted lower third molar.
