Comparative evaluation of shock absorption ability of custom?fit mouthguards with new?generation polyolefin self?adapting mouthguards in three different maxillary anterior teeth alignments using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors

Abstract PurposePrevention of orofacial injuries is one of the biggest pre?occupations in sports dentistry.

The present in vitro experimental study was carried out to compare the shock absorption ability of EVA laminate mouthguards with self?adapting polyolefin material mouthguards in three different anterior teeth alignments. Materials and methodsFinite element analysis (FEA) was performed to simulate the stress distribution due to impact on the respective mouthguards. Cu…

Children’s and parents’ attitudes towards dentists’ appearance, child dental experience and their relationship with dental anxiety

Conclusion Regardless of child anxiety levels, the PPE followed by paediatric coats were preferred over other choices of dentists’ attire. Children tended to choose a dentist who was of a younger age, and of the same gender and ethnicity as themselves. Parents tended to choose younger, female dentists of the same ethnicity as themselves. Subjective experience of extractions, as well as multiple dental visits appeared to play a more significant role in the development of dental fear than dental caries experience per se.

Non-plaque-induced gingivitis associated with nicotinamide

Abstract Nicotinamide (pyridine-3-carboxamide), an amide, active form of vitamin B3, is used to treat a variety of dermatologic conditions, including skin cancer. Limited data are available regarding the adverse effects of nicotinamide in the literature. Here, we report a case of gingivitis associated with nicotinamide. A 35-year-old female patient was referred to the Department of Periodontics for the treatment of bleeding from the gums during brushing.

In the absence of an obvious cause, the condition was diagnosed as nicotinamide-associated gingivitis. After consultation with the dermatologist, the drug was stopped and the patient responded fa…
