Objective To examine the anatomical characteristics of impacted maxillary third molars to help predict and prevent possible adverse events during extraction. Methods This retrospective study enrolled young Japanese patients that were assessed for third molar extraction. Patients with maxillary third molar impaction presenting with no space between the maxillary second molar and the occlusal surface of the maxillary third molar were analysed using computed tomography data. Results In this study, a total of 663 patients aged 20–29 years were examined for third molar extraction and 26 teeth in 23 patients were analysed. The mean ± SD angle between the second and third molar axes was 54.2° ± 7.5° and the mean ± SD length of the maxillary third molar was 16.1 ± 1.9 mm. The maxillary third molars showed close or extensive contact with the maxillary sinus and computed tomography did not show any bone from the maxillary sinus floor. Furthermore, in all patients, the crowns of the third molars were not completely covered by the alveolar bone. Conclusions Maxillary third molars with horizontal impaction showed close or extensive contact with the maxillary sinus and their crowns were not completely covered by the alveolar bone.

“…[ 14 ] Furthermore, in a study conducted before December 2019, when COVID-19 was first reported by the WHO, the authors reported on the status of periodontal disease in patients with digestive cancer at the same institution as the present study. [ 5 ] These results suggest a growing interest in oral health. However, community-based dental promotions need to continue.…”

“…[ 3 ] Dentists and dental hygienists have worked and performed research to continuously promote oral health worldwide. [ 4 , 5 ] However, as previously mentioned, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on social activities have been imposed to prevent the spread of infection. There are concerns that the ties between local communities and households have been affected by stay-at-home orders and/or lockdowns worldwide.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected various aspects, including socioeconomic status and health. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on oral health based on the number of teeth that contribute to mastication, and the nutritional status of elderly patients with digestive cancers. The authors defined the before and during COVID-19 periods in this study as January 2019 to December 2019 and January 2020 to December 2020, respectively. Patients with digestive cancer who underwent general, laboratory, and orthopantomograph examinations for preoperative oral health assessment before general anesthesia participated in this study. The authors investigated the following general characteristics: (1) sex, (2) age, and (3) the organ affected by disease and scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia. The authors collected information about (4) the number of teeth that could contribute to mastication as a clinical oral health parameter. The parameters: (5) body mass index, (6) serum total protein levels, and (7) serum albumin levels were used to indicate the nutritional status. A total of 233 elderly patients with digestive cancer participated in this study. There was no significant difference between the age of the patients with digestive cancer. There was also no significant difference in the number of teeth that could contribute to mastication. Additionally, there was no significant difference in nutritional status as indicated by the body mass index, serum total protein levels, and serum albumin levels. This study showed that the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 did not have a significant influence on the oral health and nutritional status of elderly patients with digestive cancer. However, the influence of COVID-19 on community oral health may become apparent in the future. Thus, dental professionals should continue further research regarding the effects of COVID-19 on oral health.

“…1,2 With increasing concern for oral health, middle-aged and elderly people have a large number of remaining permanent teeth. 3,4 However, periodontitis-related tooth mobility is frequently observed in these people. 4 In particular, the frequency of tooth mobility may be increasing in bedridden patients at home and in hospitals.…”

“…3,4 However, periodontitis-related tooth mobility is frequently observed in these people. 4 In particular, the frequency of tooth mobility may be increasing in bedridden patients at home and in hospitals. These patients may not receive dental professional interventions, and the risk of accidental ingestion and aspiration of teeth and dental prostheses owing to periodontitis-related mobility may also increase.…”

Importance of postural change for accidental ingestion of dental prostheses: a case report

Accidental ingestion of dental prostheses requires immediate emergency action. The authors report a case of accidental ingestion of a dental prosthesis in a patient with a disorder of consciousness. The accidental ingestion was diagnosed by imaging examination, and the location of the dental prosthesis was explored under general anesthesia according to the preoperative examination images. However, no dental prosthesis was found in the hypopharyngeal region. The operators found a radiopaque region in the nasopharynx that was suspicious of a dental prosthesis by X-ray examination of the head and neck region. According to the X-ray examination, the dental prosthesis was removed from the nasopharynx. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. Postural change for cases of accidental ingestion of dental prostheses may be a simple and important lifesaving step in addition to traditional methods.
