Organic antibacterial modifications of high-viscosity glass ionomer cement for atraumatic restorative treatment: A review

Review

作者: Suprabha, Baranya Shrikrishna ; Hegde, Damodar ; Rao, Arathi

High viscosity glass ionomer cement (HVGIC) has been employed as a restorative material for Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART). As residual caries persist after caries removal in ART, the antibacterial activity of HVGIC gains importance. Organic and inorganic substances with antibacterial properties have been incorporated into HVGIC over the years, and their effects on the antibacterial and physical properties have been studied. The objective of this paper is to review the various alterations made to HVGIC using organic compounds, their effect on the antibacterial activity, and the physical properties of the cement. Various in vitro investigations have been conducted by adding antiseptics, antibiotics, and naturally occurring antibacterial substances. Most of these compounds render superior antibacterial properties to HVGIC, but higher concentrations affect physical properties in a dose-dependent manner. However, some naturally occurring antibacterial substances, such as chitosan, improve the physical properties of HVGIC, as they enhance cross-linking and polysalt bridging. There is potential for clinical benefits to be gained from the addition of organic antibacterial compounds to HVGIC. In-depth research is required to determine the optimum concentration at which the antibacterial effect is maximum without affecting the physical properties of the cement.

Early Childhood Caries and Dental Care Utilization in Mangalore, India: Parents’ Perceptions

Article

Background: Parents often underuse dental care services for their children with early childhood caries (ECC), resulting in a high burden of untreated dental caries. Aim: To describe parental perceptions and challenges in dental care utilization for their children with ECC. Design: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted with parents of children with ECC seeking dental care in Mangalore, India. Data were collected through focus group discussions using an interview guide. Manual line-by-line coding and content analysis methods were used for data analysis. Results: Three categories were generated from data obtained through 5 focus groups of 27 participants: dental care visiting patterns, the significance of dental visits, and challenges to dental care utilization. Parents would only visit the dentist when they perceived their children’s tooth problems. The challenges faced include time constraints, misinformation, lack of awareness and motivation, costs, fear, and anxiety of the children and the parents themselves. Parents perceived improvements in the awareness of their children’s oral health and quality of life after dental visits. Conclusion: Attending dental services to treat their children’s tooth problems was the primary way of attaining awareness about prevention among the parents of children with ECC. Increased oral health awareness and improved quality of life can motivate parents to seek further dental care for their children. Collaboration with multidisciplinary stakeholders is required to improve oral health awareness among parents of children with ECC. Knowledge Transfer Statement: The study’s results will help plan targeted preventive programs for children with ECC. The study suggests dental care utilization by children with ECC is based on parental perceptions of their children’s tooth problems. It outlines the challenges that affect dental visits of children with ECC and the role of multidisciplinary stakeholders. Improved oral health awareness and quality of life following dental treatment can facilitate further dental visits.

AbstractUnderstanding the apical pressure and irrigant flow patterns in root canals is crucial for safe and effective irrigation. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the flow characteristics of irrigants in root canal models with varying tapers during final irrigation by employing various needle designs, including a back-to-back double-side-vented needle, through computational fluid dynamics. The root canal model was configured as a closed geometrical cone with a simulated apical zone (size 30) and features tapers of 4%, 6%, and 8%. Three needle types—open-ended needle (OEN), single side-vented needle (SSVN), and double side-vented needle (DSVN)—were investigated. The results indicated that for the 4% taper models, the open-ended needle generated the maximum apical pressure, followed by the double side-vented needle and the single side-vented needle. However, in the 6% and 8% tapering root canal models, the double-side-vented needle applied the lowest maximum apical pressure. Consequently, the DSVN can pose a risk for irrigant extrusion in minimally prepared canals due to heightened apical pressure. In wider canals, the DSVN exhibited lower apical pressure. The maximum irrigant replacement was observed with OEN compared to that of the closed-ended group for both flow rates. Additionally, compared with OENs, closed-ended needles exhibited nonuniform and lower shear wall stress.
