Background

Tooth sensitivity commonly occurs during and immediately after dental bleaching. The authors conducted a trial to compare tooth sensitivity after in-office bleaching after the use of either a topical dipyrone or placebo gel.

Methods

A split-mouth, triple-blind, randomized, multicenter clinical trial was conducted among 120 healthy adults having teeth that were shade A2 or darker. The facial tooth surfaces of the right or left sides of the maxillary arch of each patient were randomly assigned to receive either topical dipyrone or placebo gel before 2 in-office bleaching sessions (35% hydrogen peroxide) separated by 2 weeks. Visual analog and numerical rating scales were used to record tooth sensitivity during and up to 48 hours after bleaching. Tooth color change from baseline to 1 month after bleaching was measured with shade guide and spectrophotometer measures. The primary outcome variable was absolute risk of tooth sensitivity. An intention-to-treat analysis was used to analyze data from all patients who were randomly assigned to receive the dipyrone and placebo gels.

Results

No statically significant difference was found in the absolute risk of tooth sensitivity between the dipyrone and placebo gels (83% and 90%, respectively, P = .09; relative risk, 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.8 to 1.0). A whitening effect was observed in both groups with no statistically significant difference (P > .05) between them. No adverse effects were observed.

Conclusion

Topical use of dipyrone gel before tooth bleaching, at the levels used in this study, did not reduce the risk or intensity of bleaching-induced tooth sensitivity.

Practical Implications

Topical application of dipyrone gel does not reduce bleaching-induced tooth sensitivity.  相似文献

Background

Minimally invasive vertical tooth extraction techniques have evolved in light of the limitations of conventional tooth extraction techniques and flap surgery in preserving the alveolar bone. The authors conducted a study to obtain data on the performance of a vertical extraction system. This included comparing the need for flap surgery using the vertical extraction system versus conventional tooth extraction techniques for the extraction of anterior teeth and premolars not suitable for forceps extraction.

Methods

The authors conducted a prospective observational clinical study of the vertical extraction system versus conventional tooth extraction techniques using an interrupted time series in line with the Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term Follow-up collaboration framework for surgical innovation.

Results

Overall, 276 of 323 teeth (85.4%) in 240 patients were successfully extracted using the vertical extraction system. Of the 47 failures in the vertical tooth extraction cohort, 18 required flap surgery, resulting in an overall incidence of flap surgery of 5.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.2% to 8.7%). During the routine care period, of the 94 anterior teeth and premolars in 78 patients, 21 teeth could not be extracted using conventional techniques and required flap surgery, leading to an incidence of flap surgery of 22% (95% CI, 14% to 32%).

Conclusions

The results suggest that the vertical extraction system may be used with a high success rate for extraction of severely destroyed teeth, and its use may lead to a marked reduction in the need for flap surgery. Randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm the findings.

Practical Implications

The use of a vertical extraction system may lower the incidence of flap surgery.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Whether tooth whitening alters the surface topography of enamel causing an increase in surface roughness that could increase susceptibility to restaining is unclear.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate whether immersing enamel in common solutions produces a color change of ΔE greater than 2; whether the highest concentration carbamide peroxide bleaching agent produces the greatest ΔE; whether bleaching increases the susceptibility to further staining by common solutions; and whether morphologic changes to the enamel surface are observed after staining and bleaching as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

Material and methods

Forty-five extracted human teeth were immersed in 5 solutions (wine, coffee, tea, soda, and water) for 15 days at 80°C, and the change in ΔE was assessed with a colorimeter. The teeth were bleached using different concentrations of carbamide peroxide (20%, 35%, and 44%) and ΔE was measured at different time intervals. The teeth were then restained with the same solutions. The ΔE after initial staining was compared with the ΔE after bleaching and restaining of the same teeth. SEM was performed at baseline, after staining, bleaching, and restaining to evaluate the changes in the enamel surface topography. EDS was used to determine the elemental composition of tooth surfaces after restaining.

Results

All liquids caused a ΔE greater than 2 after 15 days. The concentration of bleaching agent was not significantly associated with ΔE for any stain types. No significant difference was found in the rate of staining between initial staining and restaining after bleaching. However, a significant effect of time was found for the staining, where the overall ΔE increased by 0.34 for each day in the solution (P<.001). SEM images showed no major changes to enamel topography after bleaching. However, a coating was noted on teeth stained with wine and tea, which had different elemental compositions when compared with the tooth surface.

Conclusions

Based on SEM observation, bleaching teeth with carbamide peroxide does not increase the susceptibility of enamel to staining and does not alter the topography of the enamel. Using higher bleaching concentrations did not increase tooth whitening as a function of time.  相似文献

Background

Secondary alveolar bone grafting in patients with clefts lip and palate is usually performed with iliac crest bone harvesting, however using bone substitute allow to avoid harvesting morbidity. The purpose of our study was to assess if the use of a bioactive glass ceramic is an acceptable alternative to iliac crest bone harvesting in alveolar clefts treatment.

Methods

A prospective study including all patients who have benefited of alveolar grafting by GlassBONE? (Noraker, France), a synthetic resorbable bioactive glass 45S5 ceramic was conducted. The patients underwent clinical assessments and imaging check-up by dental panoramic radiography and CBCT.

Results

Fifty-eight graftings were performed. The mean age at the time of the graft was 7.6 years. Hospitalization, social eviction and antalgic consumption were reduced. Bone continuity was achieved in 63.8% of the cases. Bilateral cleft and dental agenesia increased grafting failure. In the subgroup of 25 patients with isolated unilateral cleft without dental agenesis, 80% had bone continuity at one year. We noted 10.3% of alveolar fistula recurrence.

Conclusion

The use of GlassBONE? in alveolar grafts simplifies the surgery procedure and the postoperative management, and ensures satisfactory mucosal healing, tooth eruption and bone continuity in two thirds of the followed grafts.  相似文献

Introduction

This report presents the retrieval of remnants from a discolored mandibular right second premolar (tooth #29) of a 17-year-old female after a successful regenerative endodontic procedure (REP).

Methods

The REP was performed in October 2011. Coronal discoloration became of great concern to the patient at a review visit in 2016. A cone-beam computed tomographic scan was taken to investigate the formation of hard tissues within the root canal as well as a region of no calcified tissue formation. During internal bleaching of tooth #29, a black material with particulate inclusions was retrieved and examined histopathologically.

Results

Five years after the REP, there was complete periapical healing, hard tissue formation within the root canal, and complete maturation of the root apex. A hard tissue bridge was noted at the cementoenamel junction when the pulp chamber of #29 was reaccessed. The remnants retrieved from the pulp chamber were confirmed to be partly mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). A normal tooth color was achieved after 3 weeks of internal bleaching.

Conclusions

MTA remnants within the pulp chamber contributed to the tooth discoloration and appear to have obstructed hard tissue formation. A matrix of oxidized regenerated cellulose seems not to hinder tissue regeneration and is resorbed by these tissues. Other materials with color stability should be selected as coronal barriers for REPs to avoid a potential adverse effect of the MTA on the REP outcome and discoloration.  相似文献

BackgroundProfessional tooth whitening has gained popularity in the past several years. The most commonly active chemical agent used in bleaching is hydrogen peroxide (HP). HP is a low molecular weight unstable material that easily diffuses into the tooth structure, causing oxidative reactions with a consequent whitening effect. After bleaching, tooth sensitivity and gingival irritation are anticipated.AimThis study aimed to compare the effectiveness of remineralization and/or diode laser therapies in reducing tooth sensitivity after bleaching.MethodologyThirty-nine participants from Umm Al-Qura University, dental clinics, Makkah, SA. They were divided into three equal groups according to the desensitizing technique used. All participants were subjected to bleaching by 40% opalescence boost HP. Subsequently, 13 participants received 5% sodium fluoride varnish (5% NaF), 13 participants received low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and 13 participants received a combination of both desensitizing techniques. Each participant represented self-control, where tooth sensitivity was measured before and after bleaching. The cold test was used to measure tooth sensitivity before bleaching, immediately after bleaching and after application of the proposed desensitizing technique. Then, a visual analogue scale (VAS) was used for re-assessment.ResultsThe desensitizing methods exhibited a notable reduction in tooth sensitivity post-bleaching with no significant difference among the following therapies (p = 0.544).ConclusionAll the employed desensitizing methods reduced post-bleaching sensitivity, with no significant differences among them. Thus, using one technique individually is enough for effort, time and cost savings.  相似文献

Introduction

Intraorifice barriers (IOBs) are usually used before internal bleaching for coronal sealing and the prevention of cervical resorption. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different IOBs on the fracture resistance (FR) of endodontically treated anterior teeth bleached with various bleaching agents (BAs).

Methods

After performing root canal treatment for 72 extracted bovine upper incisors, the coronal 3 mm of gutta-percha was removed, and samples were classified into 3 based on the type of IOB: calcium-enriched mixture, mineral trioxide aggregate, and resin-modified glass ionomer. After applying IOBs, samples of each group were subdivided into 4 based on the BA: carbamide peroxide 45% (CP), hydrogen peroxide 35% (HP), sodium perborate (PB), and distilled water as the control. At the end of bleaching, the access cavities were restored with composite resin. The FR was measured with a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min. The data were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance and least significant difference post hoc tests (P < .05).

Results

The effect of BAs on the FR was significant (P < .05); however, the effect of the IOB and the interactive effect of these variables were not significant (P > .05). The FR in the HP and PB groups was significantly different from the control (P < .05) but that of CP was not significantly different from the control (P > .05).

Conclusions

Mineral trioxide aggregate and calcium-enriched mixture act similarly to resin-modified glass ionomer as an IOB. CP, unlike HP and PB, did not significantly decrease the FR.  相似文献

Background

Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are dietary sources of sugar that are factors in caries development and tooth loss. Dietary sugar also is linked to diabetes mellitus (DM). There is limited research related to SSBs and tooth loss in people with DM. The authors investigated the association between SSBs and tooth loss as it related to the presence or absence of DM.

Methods

The authors used a cross-sectional design with data reported by adults (18 years and older) who responded to the 2012 Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System questionnaire, which was used in 18 states (N = 95,897; 14,043 who had DM and 81,854 who did not have DM). The authors conducted χ2 and logistic regression analyses to determine associations related to DM status.

Results

Overall, 12.3% of the survey respondents had DM, 15.5% had 6 or more teeth extracted, and 22.6% reported that they consumed 1 or more SSB daily. In the adjusted analyses, among adults who had DM, those who consumed at least 2 SSBs daily were more likely to have had 6 or more teeth extracted than those who reported that they did not consume SSBs (adjusted odds ratio, 2.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.37 to 4.01; P = .0018). Among adults who did not have DM, those who consumed more than 1 but fewer than 2 SSBs per day were more likely to have had at least 6 teeth extracted (adjusted odds ratio, 1.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.21 to 1.77; P < .0001).

Conclusions

The authors found that, among adults with DM, consuming 2 or more SSBs per day was associated with having had 6 or more teeth extracted.

Practical Implications

Dietary sugar is a concern for oral and systemic health; however, a strong, independent relationship between the number of teeth extracted and a single source of dietary sugar is not adequate to explain the complexity of tooth loss. Clinicians should use broadly worded dietary messages when discussing caries assessment with patients.  相似文献

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of helium-neon and gallium-aluminum-arsenide lasers with various doses on bone healing following tooth extraction.

Materials and Methods

Maxillary right incisor teeth of 30 female albino Wistar rats were extracted. Five groups were established: four groups treated with helium-neon or gallium-aluminum-arsenide lasers and a control group. Both laser groups' rats received energy doses of 6 J/cm2 and 10 J/cm2 for 7 days. At the end of 30 days, all subjects were sacrificed for histological and morphological evaluations.

Results

Laser groups showed faster bone healing and gallium-aluminum-arsenide lasers increased vascular immunoreactivity. The most widespread organized bone formation in the extraction socket was observed in the gallium-aluminum-arsenide laser group with the energy dose of 10 J/cm2 (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

This study demonstrated that low-level laser therapies were effective on alveolar bone healing and that an energy dose of 10 J/cm2 did not have an inhibition effect on bone regeneration.  相似文献

Objectives

To evaluate the effects of experimental protocols on bleaching effectiveness and hydrogen peroxide (HP) diffusion through enamel and dentine.

Methods

Enamel/dentine discs were subjected to six bleaching sessions, consisting of 1 or 3 applications of 17.5% or 35%-HP gel for 5/15 min, or 37% carbamide peroxide (CP) gel for 10/20 min. Discs undergoing the regular protocol (35%-HP; 3 × 15 min) constituted the positive control group. Colour change (ΔE) was assessed (CIE L*a*b* system) after each session. HP diffusion was quantified (sessions 1, 3, and 6) in enamel/dentine discs adapted to artificial pulp chambers. Data were analysed by Pillai's Trace and Bonferroni test, or by one-way ANOVA and SNK/Tamhane's test (α = 5%).

Results

All tooth-bleaching protocols significantly increased the ΔE values. A reduction in HP diffusion and no significant difference in ΔE compared with the positive control were observed for the following bleaching protocols: 17.5%-HP 3 × 15 min, at the 4th session; and 35%-HP 1 × 15 and 3 × 5 min, at the 5th session. HP diffusion in the 37%-CP 3 × 20 min bleaching protocol was statistically similar to that in the positive control. The other experimental bleaching protocols significantly decreased HP diffusion through enamel/dentine discs, but the ΔE values were statistically lower than those observed in the positive control, in all sessions.

Conclusion

Shortening the contact time of a 35%-HP gel or reducing its concentration produces gradual tooth colour change and reduced HP diffusion through enamel and dentine.

Clinical significance

A reduction in HP concentration, from 35% to 17.5%, in a bleaching gel or shortening its application time on enamel provides a significant tooth-bleaching improvement associated with decreased HP diffusion across hard dental tissues. Therefore, these protocols may be an interesting alternative to be tested in the clinical situation.  相似文献

Background

Cracked teeth are ubiquitous in the adult dentition. The objective of this study was to determine which patient traits and behaviors and external tooth and crack characteristics correlate with cracked teeth being symptomatic.

Methods

Dentists in The National Dental Practice-Based Research Network enrolled a convenience sample of patients each with a single, vital posterior tooth with at least 1 observable external crack in this observational study; they enrolled 2,975 cracked teeth from 209 practitioners. The authors collected data at the patient level, tooth level, and crack level. They used generalized estimating equations to obtain significant (P < .05) independent odds ratios (OR) associated with teeth that were symptomatic for a crack.

Results

Characteristics positively associated with cracked tooth symptoms, after adjusting for demographics, included patients who clenched, ground, or pressed their teeth together (OR, 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12-1.50), molars (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.30-1.92), teeth with a wear facet through enamel (OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.01-1.40), carious lesions (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.07-1.60), cracks that were on the distal surface of the tooth (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.13-1.52), and cracks that blocked transilluminated light (OR, 1.31, 95% CI, 1.09-1.57). Teeth with stained cracks were negatively associated with having cracked tooth symptoms (OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.55-0.84).

Conclusions

The greatest likelihood of a cracked tooth being symptomatic was found when patients reported clenching or grinding their teeth and had a molar with a distal crack that blocked transilluminated light.

Practical Implications

This information can help inform dentists in the decision-making process regarding the prognosis for a cracked tooth.  相似文献

Background

This study determined if there are observable patient-, tooth- and crack-level characteristics markedly associated with whether a tooth with an external crack also has an internal crack.

Methods

Two hundred nine dentists in The National Dental Practice-Based Research Network enrolled 2,858 adults with a vital permanent posterior tooth having at least 1 observed external crack. Presence and characteristics of internal cracks were recorded for 435 cracked teeth that were treated. Generalized estimating equations were used to identify significant (P < .05) independent odds ratios associated with the tooth having internal cracks.

Results

Overall, 389 teeth (89%) had at least 1 internal crack, with 46% of these teeth having 2 or more internal cracks. Sixty-nine percent of treated cracked teeth were associated with 1 or more types of pain assessed before treatment; 53% were associated with cold testing, 37% with bite testing, and 26% with spontaneous pain. In the final model, biting pain, having an external crack that connected with a restoration, or an external crack that extended onto the root was each associated with more than a 2-fold increased odds of having an internal crack.

Conclusions

Essentially 9 of 10 teeth that had at least 1 external crack also had at least 1 internal crack.

Practical Implications

The external cracks that a dental practitioner should be most concerned about, because they are most likely to be associated with internal cracks in the tooth, are those in which the patient experiences biting pain, is connected with a restoration of some type, or extends onto the root.  相似文献

Background

Perioperative bleeding complications of ticagrelor, a newer oral antiplatelet, has not been studied in dentistry. Studies about bleeding status after oral surgical procedures in patients receiving continued antiplatelet therapy are also limited. We investigated the effects of continuing aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or dual antiplatelet therapy on the frequency of bleeding events in patients undergoing tooth extractions or minor oral surgery.

Methods

In this retrospective study, patient demographic characteristics, medical history, type of antiplatelet therapy, dental procedures, and perioperative bleeding associated with tooth extraction or other minor oral surgical procedures were obtained from the dental records of 222 patients. Bleeding was classified as normal, mild, moderate, or severe.

Results

One hundred sixty-eight patients (75.7%) had 1 or more teeth extracted, and 54 patients (24.3%) underwent other minor oral surgical procedures. The most common single antiplatelet regimen was aspirin (n = 123; 55.4%), followed by clopidogrel (n = 22; 9.9%) and ticagrelor (n = 17; 7.7%). Sixty patients (27%) received dual antiplatelet therapy. The overall frequency of postoperative bleeding was 4.9% (11 of 222). The frequencies of postoperative bleeding in the aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and dual antiplatelet therapy groups were 3.2%, 4.5%, 5.9%, and 8.3%, respectively (P ≥ .5). None of the patients experienced prolonged bleeding.

Conclusions

Patients taking aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and dual antiplatelet therapy experienced acceptable rates of controllable postoperative bleeding after tooth extraction or minor oral surgical procedures.

Practical Implications

In accordance with recommendations from published studies and guidelines, antiplatelet medications, including dual antiplatelet therapy, should not be interrupted for tooth extractions or minor oral surgery.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate the influence of light on bleaching efficacy and tooth sensitivity during in-office vital bleaching.

Data sources

We performed a literature search using Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane Central up to September 2011.

Study selection

All randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs comparing the light-activated bleaching system with non-activation bleaching system were included. Reports without clinical data concerning bleaching efficacy or tooth sensitivity were excluded.

Results

Eleven studies were included in the meta-analysis. A light-activated system produced better immediate bleaching effects than a non-light system when lower concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (15–20% HP) were used (mean difference [MD], −1.78; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [−2.30, −1.26]; P < 0.00001). When high concentrations of HP (25–35%) were employed, there was no difference in the immediate bleaching effect (MD, −0.39; 95% CI: [−1.15, 0.37]; P = 0.32) or short-term bleaching effect (MD, 0.25; 95% CI: [−0.47, 0.96]; P = 0.50) between the light-activated system and the non-light system. However, the light-activated system produced a higher percentage of tooth sensitivity (odds ratio [OR], 3.53; 95% CI: [1.37, 9.10]; P = 0.009) than the non-light system during in-office bleaching.

Conclusions

Light increases the risk of tooth sensitivity during in-office bleaching, and light may not improve the bleaching effect when high concentrations of HP (25–35%) are employed. Therefore, dentists should use the light-activated system with great caution or avoid its use altogether. Further rigorous studies are, however, needed to explore the advantages of this light-activated system when lower concentrations of HP (15–20%) are used.  相似文献

Statement of problem

How tooth preparation and material type affect the stress distribution of endodontically treated teeth restored with endocrowns remains unclear.

Purpose

The purpose of this finite element (FE) study was to determine the influence of the quantity of remaining dental tissues and material type on stress distribution in endodontically treated maxillary premolars using 3-dimensional FE analysis.

Material and methods

Five 3-dimensional FE models were constructed on the basis of the restorative methods used and the quantity of preserved tooth tissues: a sound maxillary premolar, an endodontically treated maxillary premolar restored with composite resin, and endodontically treated maxillary premolars restored with endocrowns with thicknesses of 1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm. The following endocrown materials were used: Paradigm MZ100, IPS Empress, IPS e.max CAD, and In-Ceram Zirconia. Stress distributions were analyzed under vertical and oblique loads.

Results

As the quantity of preserved dental tissues increased, the von Mises stress in dentin decreased, and the peak von Mises strain value of the cement layer increased. When the elastic modulus of the endocrown material increased, the von Mises stress in endocrown and dentin increased, and the peak von Mises strain value of the cement layer decreased.

Conclusions

Although the conservative preparation of teeth for endocrowns is likely to protect the residual tooth structure, it may cause future cohesive bonding failure. An increase in the elastic modulus of the material may benefit the durability of bonding between the endocrown and the abutment tooth; however, it may cause fracture of the residual tooth structure.  相似文献

Purpose

There is much concern about the increasing number of patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), and many studies have been published in an attempt to understand the pathophysiology of this condition. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on MRONJ arising in rodents under antiresorptive drug therapy after tooth extraction.

Methods

A search of electronic databases, including LILACS, PROQUEST, PubMed, SCOPUS, and the Web of Science.

Results

The search resulted in 2319 titles after removing the duplicates, and one paper was identified using the reference list. Ninety-eight full-text papers were then screened for eligibility, resulting in 20 for inclusion in the final qualitative synthesis. The quality of the articles was assessed using the ‘ARRIVE’ tool.

Conclusion

Despite the wide heterogeneity of the methodologies used by the authors, the current available evidence suggests that the combination of bisphosphonate and/or denosumab therapy and tooth extraction is associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw in rodents.  相似文献

Background

An expert panel convened by the American Dental Association Council on Scientific Affairs and the Center for Evidence-Based Dentistry conducted a systematic review and formulated evidence-based clinical recommendations for the arrest or reversal of noncavitated and cavitated dental caries using nonrestorative treatments in children and adults.

Types of Studies Reviewed

The authors conducted a systematic search of the literature in MEDLINE and Embase via Ovid, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Cochrane database of systematic reviews to identify randomized controlled trials reporting on nonrestorative treatments for noncavitated and cavitated carious lesions. The authors used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach to assess the certainty in the evidence and move from the evidence to the decisions.

Results

The expert panel formulated 11 clinical recommendations, each specific to lesion type, tooth surface, and dentition. Of the most effective interventions, the panel provided recommendations for the use of 38% silver diamine fluoride, sealants, 5% sodium fluoride varnish, 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel, and 5,000 parts per million fluoride (1.1% sodium fluoride) toothpaste or gel, among others. The panel also provided a recommendation against the use of 10% casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate.

Conclusions and Practical Implications

Although the recommended interventions are often used for caries prevention, or in conjunction with restorative treatment options, these approaches have shown to be effective in arresting or reversing carious lesions. Clinicians are encouraged to prioritize use of these interventions based on effectiveness, safety, and feasibility.  相似文献

Purpose

To integrate the available data published on squamous odontogenic tumors (SOT) and squamous odontogenic tumor-like proliferations in odontogenic cysts (SOT-LPOC) into a comprehensive analysis of their clinical/radiologic features.

Materials and methods

An electronic search was undertaken in January 2017. Eligibility criteria included publications having enough clinical/radiological/histological information to confirm a definite diagnosis.

Results

A total of 74 publications reporting 110 SOTs (102 central, 8 peripheral) and 60 SOT-LPOC were included. Compared to SOT-LPOC, SOT showed lower mean age, no preference regarding maxilla or mandible localization, significant association with cortical bone perforation, multilocular radiographic appearance, and mobility of the tooth/teeth associated with the lesion. While 5 recurrent SOT were reported after enucleation, no recurrent SOT-LPOC was found.

Conclusions

SOT shows a more aggressive biologic behavior than SOT-LPOC, which supports the hypothesis that the two lesions are distinct clinicopathological conditions.  相似文献

Background

A lesion on an occlusal tooth surface with no cavitation and no radiographic radiolucency but in which caries is suspected owing to surface roughness, opacities, or staining can be defined as a suspicious occlusal carious lesion (SOCL). The authors' objective was to quantify the characteristics of SOCLs and their relationship to lesion depth and activity after these lesions were opened surgically.

Methods

Ninety-three dentists participated in the study. When a consenting patient had an SOCL, information was recorded about the tooth, lesion, treatment provided, and, if the SOCL was opened surgically, its lesion depth. The Rao-Scott cluster-adjusted χ2 test was used to evaluate associations between lesion depth and color, roughness, patient risk, and luster.

Results

The authors analyzed 1,593 SOCLs. Lesion color varied from yellow/light brown (40%) to dark brown/black (47%), with 13% other colors. Most (69%) of SOCLs had a rough surface when examined with an explorer. Over one-third of the SOCLs (39%) were treated surgically. Of the 585 surgically treated SOCLs, 61% had dentinal caries. There were statistically significant associations between lesion depth and color (P = .03), luster (P = .04), and roughness (P = .01). The authors classified 52% of the patients as being at elevated caries risk. The authors found no significant associations between lesion depth and patient risk (P = .07).

Conclusions

Although statistically significant, the clinical characteristics studied do not provide accurate guidance for making definitive treatment decisions and result in high rates of false positives.

Practical Implications

Given that 39% of the opened lesions did not have dentinal caries or were inactive, evidence-based preventive management is an appropriate alternative to surgical intervention.  相似文献
