The hypnotic turbo-induction technique has been used for more than three decades for various indications in dentistry and medicine. The use of the technique is described step by step using therapeutic...
Tooth extractions account for most opioid prescriptions from dentists, but specific characteristics that influence likelihood are less established. Improving understanding can facilitate development o...
The authors performed a retrospective review of patients 12 years and older undergoing tooth extraction at the College of Dentistry at the University of Kentucky from 2013 through 2020. The primary en...
In 44,387 eligible records analyzed, 10,628 (23.9%) patients received an opioid prescription. Results of multivariable logistic regression found that the factors associated with an opioid prescription...
Opioid prescriptions after tooth extraction were common in patients undergoing more extensive procedures. Provider perceptions, habits, and several clinical factors appeared to influence prescribing p...
The decision to prescribe an opioid appears to be associated with habits and factors perceived to modulate postoperative pain, which may serve as targets for opioid reduction strategies....
Tooth extraction is a risk factor for the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw following treatment with antiresorptive drugs (ARDs), but not all extraction sites develop this pathology. Therefore, ...
Alveolar ridge preservation techniques have been developed as a possible method to maintain the optimum ridge contour and dimensions. Grafting a bone substitute is paramount to prevent alveolar ridge ...
Anxiety is common preceding tooth extraction; hence, it is crucial to identify patients with dental anxiety (DA) and to manage DA. This study assessed the level of DA and influencing factors in tooth ...
The study was a cohort study. The Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) was used to assess the level of DA of 120 patients before tooth extraction. A Demographics and Oral Health Self-Assessment Form was used to...
Based on the DAS score, 12.5% of the participants were identified as suffering from DA. DA was related to age, gender, and the self-assessment of oral health. The DAS score was correlated with increas...
The prevalence of DA in adults was 12.5% in this study population. DA was related to gender, age, and the self-assessment of oral health. The score of DAS was correlated with BP. Compare to local anes...
Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw is a therapy-resistant condition that may occur after treatment for head and neck cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of osteoradionecrosis in ...
Patients who had undergone radiation therapy for oropharyngeal cancer 5-10 years earlier were included and evaluated for the development of osteoradionecrosis (n = 75)....
Among the 75 patients, 62 had molar teeth present in the >50 Gy radiation field and 36 of those patients had teeth extracted prior to radiation therapy. Extraction of molars before radiotherapy signif...
Tooth extraction prior to radiation therapy increases the risk of developing osteoradionecrosis. For patients with good oral hygiene and absence of dental disease, avoidance of tooth extraction in the...
To construct a novel portable tooth sectioning guide to improve the accuracy of mandibular third molar extraction....
First, 72 samples of an identical 3D-printed double-rooted mandibular third molar were obtained and used in 36 mandibular models. Three different models were constructed (class B vertical, mesial, and...
Overall, the mean apical deviation of experienced/inexperienced operators using the conventional section technique was 1.120 mm (0.7 mm, 2.3 mm) and 1.54± 0.84 mm, respectively. Correspondingly, the m...
In the digital guide technique, sectioning is more predictable and accurate, and the success of the operation is achievable with different proficiencies among dental surgeons....
This technique will not only reduce the difficulty of tooth extraction but also reduce the risk of damage to the surrounding soft and hard tissues, especially damage to the inferior alveolar nerve....
The study examined treatment codes of extracted teeth and aimed to assess degree of difficulty concerning all tooth extractions....
Retrospective data on treatment codes of all tooth extractions during a two-year period were obtained from the patient register in primary oral healthcare of the City of Helsinki, Finland. Prevalence,...
Total number of extraction procedures was 97,276, including 121,342 extracted teeth. The most frequent procedure was a routine extraction of a tooth with forceps (55%, n = 53,642). The main reason for...
Two-thirds of all tooth extractions in primary care were relatively simple. However, 29% of procedures were classified as demanding....
As earlier methods for assessing level of difficulty were aimed at third molars alone, an analysis was presented for all tooth extractions. This approach may be useful for research purposes, and the p...
To apply geometric morphometrics and multivariate statistics to evaluate changes of the face for female Chinese patients who underwent orthodontic treatment with different type of anchorage control....
Forty-six adult female patients were enrolled including 33 four first premolar extraction cases (17 patients with mini-implants for maximum anchorage control and 16 patients without mini-implants) and...
The upper and lower lips were retruded significantly after treatment in the extraction groups. In the maximum anchorage control group, the temple and cheek were depressed by approximately 1 mm, and th...
The anchorage choice and the removal of four first premolar extraction influence lip shape as well as the perioral regions. However, extraction treatment does not impact the appearance of the cheeks a...
Broad spectrum antibiotics are often used for the prophylaxis of infectious endocarditis and treatment of odontogenic infections, but there are limited data related to antibiotic use and adherence to ...
From 43,863 patients with tooth extraction, 53% were female, and 3,983 patients (9.1%) filled a prescription for antibiotic medicine. From 43,863 patients, 157 patients (0.4%) had endocarditis risk, b...
In this retrospective cohort study, dentists did not discriminate prophylactic antibiotic prescription with regard to endocarditis risk status. A factor influencing prescribing behaviour of antibiotic...
