ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of publications in the field of periodontology and implantology in Turkey. Material and Methods: A sensitive search strategy was developed to identify relevant articles, focusing on the periodontology and implantology research fields published two years before and after the declaration of the pandemic (March 2020). The search was performed through Web of Science, Medline, SCOPUS and CENTRAL databases. A three-stage screening (titles, abstract, full-text) was carried out in duplicate and independently by two reviewers. Results: A total of 382 studies were identified before the pandemic and 307 studies during the pandemic. While there was a downward trend in the number of observational studies (185 vs 168), the number of clinical trials (CCT/RCT) slightly increased compared to the pre-pandemic period (72 vs 74). Conclusion: Limited to the selected period of time (two years) and field, publication rate on periodontology and implantology in Turkey was decreased during the pandemic. Although the present research highlights current trends, large-scale investigations are needed to probe consequences of COVID-19 pandemic on research activities in the long-run (AU).


Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 no número de publicações na área de periodontia e implantodontia na Turquia. Material e Métodos:Foi desenvolvida uma estratégia de busca sensível para identificar artigos relevantes, com foco nas áreas de pesquisa em periodontia e implantodontia publicados dois anos antes e depois da declaração da pandemia (março de 2020). A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados Web of Science, Medline, SCOPUS e CENTRAL. Uma triagem de três etapas (títulos, resumo, texto completo) foi realizada em duplicata e de forma independente por dois revisores. Resultados: Foram identificados 382 estudos antes da pandemia e 307 estudos durante a pandemia. Embora tenha havido uma tendência de queda no número de estudos observacionais (185 vs 168), o número de ensaios clínicos (CCT/RCT) aumentou ligeiramente em comparação com o período pré-pandêmico (72 vs 74). Conclusão: Limitada ao período de tempo selecionado (dois anos) e área, a taxa de publicação em periodontia e implantodontia na Turquia diminuiu durante a pandemia. Embora a presente pesquisa destaque as tendências atuais, são necessárias investigações em larga escala para investigar as consequências da pandemia de COVID-19 nas atividades de pesquisa a longo prazo.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract The pathophysiology of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and associated oral symptoms have not been clarified yet. The aim of the present study was to compare the oral health status of children with MIS-C-associated Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and COVID-19. A total of 54 children with SARS-CoV-2 infection, 23 with MIS-C-associated COVID-19 and 31 with asymptomatic, mild, and moderate COVID-19 were recruited for the present cross-sectional study. Sociodemographic variables, medical examinations, oral hygiene habits, and extraoral and intraoral findings (DMFT/dmft index, OHI scores, and oral mucosal changes) were recorded. The t-test for independent samples and the Mann-Whitney U test were used (p < 0.05). MIS-C was found to be associated with chapped lips (all patients) and oral mucosal changes, including erythema, white lesion, strawberry tongue, and swelling of the gingiva as compared to the COVID-19 group (frequency of more than one mucosal change: 100% vs. 35%) (p < 0.001). Children with MIS-C presented higher DMFT/dmft scores (DMFT/dmft 5.52 ± 3.16 for the MIS-C group vs. 2.26 ± 1.80 for the COVID-19 group) (p < 0.01). Elevated OHI scores were also associated with MIS-C (mean ± SD: 3.06 ± 1.02 (MIS-C) vs. 2.41 ± 0.97 (COVID-19) (p < 0.05). Oral manifestations, mainly strawberry and erythematous tongue, were characteristic features of MIS-C. Prevalence of oral/dental symptoms was elevated in children with MIS-C when compared to COVID-19. Therefore, dental professionals should be aware of the oral manifestations associated with MIS-C, which may have high mortality and morbidity rates.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate local and systemic levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-33, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in Thalassemia major (TM) in the presence of gingival inflammation. Material and Methods: 58 patients (TM, n=29 and systemically healthy controls, n=29) were included to the study. IL-10, IL-33, and TNF-α levels were evaluated in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva and serum. Clinical periodontal measurements were recorded. Results: GCF IL-33 total amounts in TM and gingivitis group were elevated compared to systemically and periodontally healthy group (p=0.01). GCF IL-10, IL33 and TNF-α concentrations were higher in TM and periodontally healthy group than the systemically healthy and gingivitis group (p=0.02, p=0.008, p=0.003). Serum IL-10 levels were elevated in TM and gingivitis compared to the systemically healthy and gingivitis (p=0.0009) and systemically and periodontally healthy (p=0.0007) groups. Serum IL-10 and TNF-α levels in TM and periodontally healthy group were higher than systemically and periodontally healthy group (p=0.01 and p=0.02). Conclusion: TM may potentially alter circulating levels of IL-33 and IL-10 and therefore, may affect the degree of periodontal inflammation locally or vice versa. Yet, the underlying mechanism linking the hematologic condition is not clear and deserves further investigation. (AU)


Objetivo: Avaliar os níveis locais e sistêmicos de interleucina-10 (IL-10), IL-33 e fator de necrose tumoral alfa (TNF-α) na Talassemia Major (TM) na presença de inflamação gengival. Material e Métodos: 58 pacientes (TM, n = 29 e controles sistemicamente saudáveis, n = 29) foram incluídos no estudo. Os níveis de IL-10, IL-33 e TNF-α foram avaliados em fluido crevicular gengival (FCG), saliva e soro. As medições periodontais clínicas foram registradas. Resultados: As quantidades totais de IL-33 no FCG do grupo de TM e gengivite foram elevadas em comparação com o grupo sistemicamente e periodontalmente saudável (p = 0,01). As concentrações de IL-10 , IL-33 e TNF-α do FCG foram maiores no grupo TM e periodontalmente saudáveis do que no grupo sistemicamente saudável e gengivite (p = 0,02, p = 0,008, p = 0,003). Os níveis séricos de IL-10 estavam elevados na TM e gengivite em comparação com os grupos sistemicamente saudável e gengivite (p = 0,0009) e sistemicamente e periodontalmente saudáveis (p = 0,0007). Os níveis séricos de IL-10 e TNF-α no grupo TM e periodontalmente saudáveis foram maiores do que os grupos sistemicamente e periodontalmente saudáveis (p = 0,01 ep = 0,02). Conclusão: A TM pode alterar potencialmente os níveis circulantes de IL-33 e IL-10 e, portanto, pode afetar o grau de inflamação periodontal localmente ou vice-versa. No entanto, o mecanismo subjacente que liga a condição hematológica não é claro e merece uma investigação mais aprofundada. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective: This clinical study evaluated the success of two different splint materials bonded on periodontally treated mobile teeth. Material and Methods: A total of 14 patients were included in the study. Patients were randomly assigned to the groups to receive either with wire composite splint (WCS) or fiber-reinforced composite splint (FCS). Clinical periodontal parameters were performed and periotest values were recorded at baseline, and after 6 and 12 months. Patients were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire after the splinting procedures. Failure types for the splints were categorized. Results: Baseline Plaque index (PI) values showed significant decrease at 6 month follow up in the WCS (p = 0.0019) and FCS (p < 0.0001) groups and remained stable after 12 months (WCS; p = 0.36, FCS; p = 0.63). During the course of the study, PD and RD values exhibited no change between and within groups. Clinical parameters including Pocket depth (PD), Gingival recession (GR), PI and Bleeding on probing (BOP) were stable at 6 and 12 months follow-up period. In 6 patients (4 FCS, 2 WCS), reparable failures occurred during the observation period. In four patients (3 FCS, 1 WCS) splints failed completely and were removed. The periotest values of the failing teeth ranged between 47.3 and 50. In 3 patients in the WCS and 1 patientin the FCS group, periotest values were ≥ 40 but no splint failures were observed. Conclusion: FCS tends to show increased mechanical limitations compared to WCS. Teeth with periotest values above 40 may be more prone to splint failures independent of the splint material.


Objetivo: Este estudo clínico avaliou a permanênciade dois materiais diferentes utilizados para contenção de dentes com mobilidade tratados periodontalmente. Material e Métodos: Um total de 14 pacientes foram incluídos no estudo. Os pacientes foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em grupos para receber contenção com fio de aço inoxidável (FA)e resina ou resina reforçada por fibra de vidro (FV). Os parâmetros clínicos periodontais foram realizados e os valores do Periotest foram registrados no início do estudo e após 6 e 12 meses. Os pacientes foram convidados a preencher um questionário após os procedimentos de contenção. Foram classificados os tipos de falhas para as contenções. Resultados: Os valores de índice de placa de base (IP) apresentaram diminuição significativa aos 6 meses de acompanhamento nos grupos FA (p = 0,0019) e FV (p < 0,0001) e manteve-se estável após 12 meses (FA, p = 0,36, FV, p = 0,63). Durante o período do estudo, a profundidade de sondagem (PS), recessão gengival (RG) e nível clínico de inserção (NCI) não apresentaram mudança entre e dentro dos grupos. Os parâmetros clínicos incluindo PS, RG, NCI, IP e sangramento a sondagem ficaram estáveis em 6 e 12 meses de período de acompanhamento. Em 6 pacientes (4 FA, 2 FV), ocorreram falhas reparáveis. Em quatro pacientes (3 FV, 1 FA) a contenção falhou completamente e foram removidos. Os valores Periotest dos dentes que as contenções falharam variaram entre 47,3 e 50. Em 3 pacientes no grupo FA e 1 paciente no grupo FV, os valores Periotest foram ≥ 40, mas não foram observadas falhas na contenção. Conclusão: O grupo FV tendeu a mostrar aumento das limitações mecânicas em relação ao FV. Dentes com Periotest valores acima de 40 podem ser mais propensos a falhas de contenção independentes do material utilizado.
