The extraction of a tooth exacerbates the stress in diabetic patients leading to diabetic complications so the aim was to evaluate the changes in blood cortisol, glucose, and oxygen saturation in type...
The research included 40 patients with type 2 diabetes with indications of tooth extraction. They were divided into two subgroups by 20 participants and split according to local anesthesia (lidocaine ...
Cortisol and glucose levels scientifically increased throughout the procedure. Meanwhile, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure and saturation showed no difference between the measurements during and...
Diabetic patients require a more cautious approach when undergoing teeth extractions despite it being a routine procedure....
Controlling the 3D movement of central incisors during tooth extraction cases with clear aligners is important but challenging in invisible orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to explore the biome...
A series of Finite Element models was constructed to simulate anterior teeth retraction or no retraction with different power ridge designs. These models all consisted of maxillary dentition with extr...
For the model of anterior teeth retraction without power ridge and for the model of anterior teeth no retraction with a single power ridge, the central incisors exhibited crown lingual inclination and...
The central incisors are prone to losing torque and extruding in tooth extraction cases. Double power ridges have a certain root torque effect when there are no auxiliary designs, but they still canno...
Oral midazolam and nitrous oxide inhalation were commonly used sedative and analgesic techniques during tooth extraction. It is still controversial whether oral midazolam can replace the nitrous oxide...
We searched the Chinese and English databases including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and VIP information databases....
Through this meta-analysis, we found that the success rate of sedation and analgesia treatment with oral midazolam during tooth extraction was 75.67% and the incidence of adverse reactions was 21.74%....
The use of nitrous oxide inhalation for sedation and analgesia during tooth extraction is very effective, and oral midazolam can be used as an alternative to nitrous oxide inhalation....
BACKGROUND Surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars is the most commonly performed procedure in oral surgery; its associated complications include sensory nerve damage, swelling, and tr...
The healing process after tooth removal involves bone remodelling which implies some loss of alveolar bone volume. Among materials proposed for minimising this remodelling and preserving the bone, aut...
A split-mouth study was conducted including 22 patients, who underwent removal of ≥ 2 single-rooted teeth with intact sockets, assigning one socket to the experimental group which received ADM for alv...
Less horizontal shrinkage was observed in the ADM group, especially at week 16 considering the group-by-time interaction for the following variables: difference in height between the lingual and bucca...
These results add to the evidence that dentin can be used successfully as a material for alveolar socket preservation, given its desirable mechanical and biological properties, and warrant larger stud...
Children frequently experience pain and/or discomfort during dental treatment. Still, pain research in dentistry has mainly been performed on adults using quantitative methods while research on the ch...
Interviews were carried out with twelve Swedish 10-16-year-olds who had recently undergone tooth extractions due to orthodontic reasons. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed according to ...
A core category was identified and named 'handling the unavoidable unknown'. The informants recalled experiences of pain and discomfort during extractions. However, instead of focussing on pain, they ...
To improve patients' ability to deal with pain in conjunction with dental extraction, the dental team should ensure better and individually tailored information about the treatment. Thus, the use of p...
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of root canal treatment (RCT) compared with a tooth extraction in a general dental practice setting, with reference to cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gai...
This is a prospective controlled cohort study based on patients either starting RCT or undergoing extraction at one of six Public Dental Service clinics in the county of Västra Götaland, Sweden. From ...
The total mean cost of RCT ($689.1) was higher than for extraction ($280.1). For those patients whose extracted tooth was replaced, the costs were even higher ($1245.5). There were no significant inte...
In the short term, extraction was cost-effective compared with preserving a tooth with RCT. However, the potential need for future replacement of the extracted tooth, by an implant, fixed prosthesis, ...
Tooth extraction is a common procedure performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons or dentists, often resulting in dental fear and anxiety. The use of relaxing music, audiovisuals, and virtual realit...
Four electronic databases were searched up to March 8, 2023, to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating different multimedia interventions, including the application of using relaxing ...
A total of 11 RCTs were included in this NMA. The Bayesian NMA results demonstrated that relaxing music (SMD = -0.64, 95% CI: -1.04, -0.25) and VR (SMD = -0.54, 95% CI: -1.08, -0.02) were associated w...
Relaxing music shows the greatest potential for reducing dental anxiety related to tooth extraction when compared to other multimedia interventions....
Prior to radiotherapy (RT), teeth with poor prognosis that pose a risk for post-RT osteoradionecrosis (ORN) are removed. To allow enough time for adequate wound healing prior to RT, decisions are made...
Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), treated with RT between 2015 and 2019, were included in this cross-sectional study. For each extracted tooth the radiation dose was calculated retrospectively...
A total of 1759 teeth were removed from 358 patients. Of these 1759 teeth, 1274 (74%) appeared to have been removed redundantly, based on the mean dose (D...
To our knowledge this is the first study to provide insight into the amount of teeth redundantly extracted prior to RT and represents a step forward in de-escalating the damage to the masticatory syst...
To assess the prophylaxis effect of pentoxifylline and tocopherol (PENTO) on the frequency and severity of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) diagnosed at three months in patients wit...
This case series was conducted at the outpatient dental clinic of the Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP) between April 2021 and April 2022. Patients ≥ 18 years old were in...
Of the 114 screened patients, 17 were included; they were aged between 43 and 73 years and were mostly female (88.2%). Thirty-two tooth extractions were performed (22 in the maxilla and 10 in the mand...
The prophylaxis use of PENTO reduced the severity of injuries, was well-tolerated, and showed patient compliance....
