Background and aim: Oral microbiota could proliferate the microspace between the implant and abutment, thereby cause inflammation in the peri-implant tissues and adjacent bone. This study aimed to investigate the effect of two types of abutments (zirconia and titanium) on microleakage at implant-abutment interface area under oblique cyclic loading in vitro. Materials and methods: In this in vitro study, 12 implant-abutment assemblies were used, each containing six sets with either zirconia or titanium abutments and vertically mounted in the modified resin blocks of autopolymerized polyester base. The specimens were then subjected to oblique cyclic loading of 75 N at a 30 ± 2 degrees angle to the longitudinal axis of the implant with a frequency of 1 Hz in 500, 000 cycles, equivalent to 20 months of human mastication. To determine the penetration of fuchsine into the implant-abutment interface, the implants were cut by cutting machine from the middle. Then, the rate of penetration of fuchsine in each sample was measured by a stereomicroscope with a magnification of 75 × at three points of each semicircle, and the average of these six points was recorded as a microleakage. For comparison of the microleakage after loading, t test was used. All tests were performed in SPSS ver. 22 software and a significant level of 0. 05 was considered. Results: The amount of microleakage after oblique cyclic loadingwas statistically significantly higher in the zirconia abutments (66. 08± 11. 66) compared to the titanium abutments (39. 17± 10. 65)following force application (P = 0. 002). Conclusion: The microleakage following oblique cyclic loading is different depending on the type of abutment, so that the titanium abutments showed significantly less microleakage than the zirconia abutments.

Background and aim:Using Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC) for Early Childhood Caries usually causes an unpleasant condition in the aesthetic of the patients,The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different surface treatments and bonding systems on shear bond strength of composite veneer to Stainless Steel Crown,Materials and Methods:In this in vitro study,120 SSC were divided into 6 groups according to the surface treatment method (without surface treatment,diamond bur or sandblast) and bonding agent (alloy primer+Clearfil SE Bond or G Premio Bond),Shear Bond Strength (SBS) of composite cylinder to SSC was measured,Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey,P-value <0,05 was considered statistically significant,Result:SBS with Alloy Primer+Clearfil SE Bond (37,53±9,13) was significantly higher than G Premio Bond ( 30,54±12,34) (P-value <0,0001),Sandblast showed significantly higher SBS in comparison with two other groups (P-value <0,0001) Conclusion:Based on the results of this study,sandblasting has the highest SBS in comparison with the other methods of surface treatment,In the absence of sandblast,the application of the Alloy Primer+ Claerfil SE Bond on the SSC surface will provide better bond to resin composite.

Background and aim: Regarding the prevalence of postoperative pain of impacted wisdom tooth and the fact that Pregabalin herbal medicine has been reported to reduce the pain, and to determine the effect of its consumption/ non-consumption on the amount of pain after surgery of Impacted Wisdom Tooth, this study was conducted at 2018 in Department of Oral 7 Maxillofacial surgery, Dentistry faculty, Tehran medical sciences, Islamic Azad University. Materials and Methods: This study was performed as a split Mouth-type clinical trial. A total of 30 patients who referred for pulling out the two-way impacted wisdom tooth and, after justifying the plan, they announced their written and informed consent to collaborate with the plan. One side of the jaw is randomly assigned to the control group and the other to the experimental group. The dentist surgeon and consuming material were the same. In the experimental group, half an hour before surgery, one pregabalin 300 mg was prescribed with 50 ml of water but the control group did not receive the drug. The surgical distance in 2 sides was 2 weeks and the pain was measured at intervals 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after surgery based on 10 VAS and assessed by Mann-U-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests. Results: The study was performed on 30 or 60 samples, 70% of the samples were male and 30% were female at the age of 31± 8. 2. The pain level was similar in 2 groups at the second hour (P<0. 6) but at the 4th hour it was 5. 63± 1. 94 and 3. 7± 1. 56 in control and experimental gourps, respectively. At 6th hour, it was 6. 93± 1. 95 and 4. 55± 2. 2 in control and experimental groups and at 8th hour, 8. 35± 1. 76 VS 5. 9± 1. 94, respectively. (P<0. 01) and (P<0. 002). Conclusion: It seems, Pregabalin reduces the pain in Impacted Wisdom Tooth surgery and pain reduction raised from 4th to 8th hour.

Background and AIM: Malocclusion has an important effect on patients’ social behaviors and mental situation and might affect their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The aim of this study was to assess OHRQoL in patients attending orthodontics department of Isfahan Azad University. Materials and Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted on 77 patients in need of orthodontic treatment applying a census sampling method. Before entering the treatment phase, volunteer patients filled out Oral Health Impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Index of Orthodontics Treatment Need (IOTN): Aesthetic Component (AC) and Dental Health Component (DHC) were used to assess patient’ s orthodontic treatment need. Student’ s t-test, Mann U Whitney test, analysis of variance, kruskal wallis test, Pearson and spearman correlation coefficient, and linear regression model served for statistical analysis. Results: The mean score of OHIP was 14. 1 (± 8. 9, range 0-35). Orthodontic treatment need was high or very high among 65% of the participants based on DHC. Based on AC, 33. 8% of patients reported definite need to orthodontic treatment. A significant association existed between OHIP and DHC (r=0. 28, P=0. 017), and between OHIP and AC (r=0. 24, P=0. 036); however, it was weak. Based on linear regression model, OHIP was significantly associated with education (P=0. 026) and AC of IOTN (P=0. 026). Conclusion: Although, the relationship between malocclusion and OHRQoLin the present study was week, it is recommended for orthodontist to consider the effects of oral problems on patients’ quality of life, in addition to their professional methods in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Background & aim: There are so many studies about effect of colored drinks and mouthwashes on discoloration of different dental ceramics. However, little is known regarding the effect of colored drinks on discoloration of monolithic zirconia. The purpose of this invitro study was to evaluate the effect of different surface treament methods on color stability of monolithic zirconia. Material and methods: : this experimental study was conducted in vitro on monolithic zirconia ceramics. Twelve pre-tinted specimens of monolithic blocks (1. 5 mm, 14, 14 mm) were prepared and divided into 2 groups (A) glazed and (B) polished after glaze. Specimens were sintered and glazed and Specimens of group B were prepared and polished. The specimens were placed in Golestan bag teas (ph = 5) for two weeks and color of the specimens were measured using spectrophotometer before and after immersion. the color changes (Δ E) were determined by Mann-Whitney test. Results: This study showed color change rate in the polish group was 3. 2 ± 0. 1 and in the glaze group was 1. 07 ± 1. 1, p˂ 0. 7, and the color change in the polish method was about 2 times more that of glaze method which is significant (p<0/004). Conclusions: Glaze Group seems to have less color change compared to polish group.

Background and Aims: One of the well-known bacteria in dental unit water contamination is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency of Pseudomonas aeruginosa species infection in the dental unit water samples of Dental Faculty of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences at 2018. Materials and Methods: In this Descriptive study, water samples collected randomly from the turbines of 10% of the active dental units in Mashhad Dental Faculty. Samples were collected at three time points including beginning of the day prior flushing, beginning of day after 2 min flushing, and middle of day after 20 sec flushing. Data analyzed with SPSS version 20 software using two-way ANOVA test and 95% of confidence interval. Results: All samples were infected at the first time point. At the beginning of the day prior flushing, the water contamination was higher than ADA standard in all departments except periodontology and operative dentistry. Water contamination decreased significantly after flushing at the beginning of day and middle of day measurements (P-value < 0. 001). However, no significant difference was observed between beginning of day after flushing and middle of day samples. Conclusion: High bacterial frequency was found in dental unit water samples of Mashhad Dental Faculty regarding P. aeruginosa at beginning of the day. Flushing was an effective measure to reduce the bacterial frequency of dental unit water.
