“…Pain in dentistry is usually related to oral diseases [13] or clinical procedures, such as restoration [14], implant insertion [15], miniscrew placement [16], tooth avulsion [17], combined surgical-orthodontic therapy [18], temporomandibular therapy [19]. Therefore any patient presenting with a chief complaint of toothache should be first evaluated for an odontogenic cause of pain.…”

Background: Orofacial Pain (OFP) is a group of non-dental painful conditions affecting the oral cavity and facial area. Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore which barriers to manage the patient with chronic OFP as perceived by general dentists versus dental specialists and to investigate whether if professionals with degrees from their home country versus another country or number of years of professional experience differ in their perceptions. Methods: A closed-end questionnaire was hand-delivered to 600 participants [300 general dentists and 300 dental specialists] in four major provinces in Saudi Arabia. Demographic data were expressed as frequency. Proportional t-tests and chi-square tests were used to analyse intergroup differences. Statistical significance for all analyses was set at P-value < 0.05. Results: Overall, the response rate was 56.6% (340/600). Around two-thirds of the participants were general dentists (60.9%), while the remainder were dental specialists (39.1%). There was an obvious consensus by the participants that “Low payment/reimbursement” and “Lack of OFP knowledge” were among the most common barriers (85% and 83.5%, respectively). In contrast, “Legal risks” were the least frequently reported factor (38.8%). The most commonly reported barrier by general dentists was “Shortage of patients/lack of demand;” this was significantly different from the experience of dental specialists (87% vs. 72.2%; P- value < 0.01). In terms of the country of graduation or years of experience, there were no significant differences. Conclusion: The study demonstrates the existence of many significant barriers other than OFP knowledge, such as reimbursement, facility and demand that could present obstacles and challenges to the management of OFP by general dentists and dental specialists. Most participants believed that dentists should manage this condition and that OFP courses should be included in the dental school curriculum.

“…Segundo a pesquisa, grande parte dos pais/ responsáveis afirmaram que levariam imediatamente a criança ao dentista após ter sofrido um trauma, o que favorece o tratamento que será realizado pelo profissional. Resultado semelhante foi obtido em um estudo epidemiológico em Minas Gerais, no qual a grande maioria dos responsáveis participantes levariam a criança ao dentista imediatamente, até 30 minutos após o evento 25 . É importante que haja, após o atendimento inicial pelos pais, o encaminhamento ao cirurgião-dentista, pois os procedimentos clínicos realizados pelo profissional são fatores determinantes para o sucesso do tratamento 26 .…”

Objetivo: identificar o conhecimento de pais/responsáveis sobre como proceder em caso de traumatismo dentário. Método: pesquisa com desenho observacional descritivo realizada por meio de questionários impressos entregues a 80 pais/responsáveis por crianças atendidas nas disciplinas de Clínica Infantil e Ortodontia I e II da Faculdade Avantis. A análise dos dados foi realizada de forma descritiva e com os testes Qui-Quadrado e Exato de Fisher. Resultados: a prevalência de pais que nunca receberam orientações sobre como porceder perante um traumatismo dentário foi de 75%, associando-se às respostas das perguntas: se saberiam como acondicionar o dente (p=0,001) e se já presenciaram alguma situação de trauma dental (p=0,047). As variáveis socioeconômicas escolaridade e renda e a autopercepção sobre o que fazer em uma situação de traumatismo dentário não se associaram a ter recebido informação sobre como proceder perante um traumatismo dentário, segundo o autorrelato dos responsáveis. A maioria dos pais das crianças nunca receberam informações e não sabem como proceder em caso de um possível traumatismo dentário. Conclusão: ter recebido informação sobre como proceder diante de um traumatismo dentário está associado a já ter presenciado situação de traumatismo dentário e a saber como acondicionar o dente para levar no dentista.

“…Single horizontal root fracture in the apical or middle third tooth of the root is the usual result after trauma to the tooth. 25 To detect the horizontal root fracture, intraoral radiography is widely used as it is cheap, has high resolution, and is convenient. 26 While interpreting radiographic images, a radiolucent line demonstrating discontinuity of dentine, which is not a shadow of the periodontal ligament, can be diagnostic of root fracture, 27 but subtle fissures in a very early stage without separation of the fragments may not be quantifiable by intraoral radiography.…”

Background:Dental trauma is caused by fracture(s) in the vertical plane and the horizontal plane of roots. The objective of this study is to perform multiple diagnostic modalities for the diagnosis of horizontal root fracture(s) of the tooth.Methods:A total of 250 patients with dental complaints were subjected to intraoral radiography, multidetector helical computed tomography (MDHCT), and limited cone beam computed tomography (LCBCT). The suspected tooth was extracted, visually inspected, and subjected to microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Images were observed in the lightbox, and a fracture was considered if it had been directly visualized as radiolucent line traversing tooth root. Wilcoxon test/Tukey post hoc test was performed at 99% of confidence level.Results:With respect to visual inspection, for LCBCT, intraoral radiography, MDHCT, and micro-CT, sensitivities were 0.988, 0.972, 0.967, and 0.979; accuracies were 0.956, 0.785, 0.905, and 0.888; false-positive values were 5, 21, 12, and 11; and false-negative values were 3, 24, 3, and 11, respectively. The area of the image visible at one time was in the order of treatment without radiography < intraoral radiography < MDHCT < micro-CT < LCBCT.Conclusion:The LCBCT had the highest sensitivity and accuracy for diagnosis of horizontal tooth root fracture(s).Level of Evidence:I.Trial Registry:researchregistry3647, dated December 31, 2016 (www.researchregistry.com).

Tooth injuries: Knowledge of parents of public school students from the city of Alfenas, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Abstract: Parents had partial and insufficient knowledge as to the proper approach to be adopted in cases of fracture and dental avulsion. Previous experience of dental trauma was not related to more appropriate behavior regarding these injuries.
