Biography:
Golmoradizadeh Ali has graduated from Centro Escolar University in 2013 as Doctor of Dental Medicine and completed MS Orthodontics from University of
Philippines. He is a Faculty Member of Hormozgan University, Iran. He is an Associate Editor of Journal of Evaluation of Medical and Dental Sciences.
Abstract:
Background: There is a vast volume of published orthodontic articles that may be accessed from the internet. The accumulated
publications are good sources of information that may be used as basis for the formulation of evidence-based clinical treatment plans.
Objective: The aim of this study was to quantify the number of published articles on orthodontics and its relation to the other
fields in dentistry in the past five decades.
Materials & Methods: A systematic review was conducted in MEDLINE via PubMed from 1966 until 2015. With the Endnote
X7 software, a range of the most relevant search terms relating to orthodontics, periodontics, functional appliances, lingual
orthodontics, self-ligating technique, mixed dentition, endodontics and mini implant were used. The captured orthodontic
articles were then arranged according to categories in relation to the other fields in dentistry.
Results: An immense number of orthodontic articles appeared in the different categories each year. Among these articles,
lingual orthodontics was the most fascinating topic for researchers, while mini implants and self-ligating brackets apparently
need more future studies.
Conclusion: The review of orthodontic articles in the past five decades may help future researchers who want to investigate and
study orthodontics. It can serve as a parameter to indicate which fields necessitate additional supplementary studies.

Title: The osteogenic effect of photofunctionalization on gold nanoparticles applied on biomimetic titanium surfaces
Biography:
Dr.Yassir has completed his MDS in oral surgery and Implantology in 2014 at Huazhong university of Science and technology and was awarded the full PhD scholarship for outstanding students. Upon completion in 2017, he was the first Sudanese to obtain such a degree in the field of Oral Implantology. His works on titanium surface modification has resulted in remarkable improvements in the speed and extent of bone regeneration. Currently he is working in the department of oral implantology and dentofacial surgery at Suihua, the first affiliated stomatological hospital of Jinan University - Guangzhou, P.R.China.
Abstract:
Objectives: The aims of this study were to create a new surface topography using simulated body fluids (SBF) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs), to assess the osteogenic effect of the new surface on osteoblastic differentiation with and without UV photofunctionalization.
Materials & Methods: Commercially pure titanium plates (cpTiO2) were divided into six groups with different modifications. All 6 groups were acid etched with 67% sulfuric acid (H2SO4), four were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 24 hours to create a hydroxyapatite layer and two groups were treated with 13 nm gold nanoparticles (GNPs) for 24 hours. Half of the TiO2 plates were photofunctionalized (PhF) with UV light for 48 hours to be compared with the non-PhF ones. The main experimental groups were 3B which had H2SO4+SBF+GNPs+PhF and 2B which had the same treatment except for GNPs. Rat’s bone marrow stem cells (rBMSCs) were seeded into the plates and then CCK8 assay, cell viability (live/dead) assay, immunofluorescence and electron scanning microscopy were done after 24 hours. Gene expression analysis was done using real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was done 1 week later to check for the mRNA expression of Collagen-1 (Col-1), Osteopontin (OPN) and Osteocalcin (OCN). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was performed after 2 weeks of cell seeding.
Results: Results were analyzed using Prism 5.0 statistical package. One-way analysis of variance was done for multiple comparisons and t-tests for individual comparisons. 3B which had all the treatment modalities showed the highest results and was compared to the closest group 2B. Optical density was almost 50% higher than the control group and significantly higher than 2B with a P value <0.0156) in 2B to 79% (p value <0.0147) in 3B. qPCR results showed the highest increase in the expression of osteogenic genes in 3B. When compared to 2B, 3B showed a significant increase in the expression of all the genes with P values of 0.0238, 0.0238 and 0.0038 for Col-1, OPN and OCN, respectively. 3B also showed just above 20% more increase in the ALP activity when compared to 2B.
Conclusion: We have created a novel hybrid micro-nano titanium surface. TiO2 plates were acid etched, coated with a hydroxyapatite layer using SBF to create biomimetic topography, photofunctionalized and seeded with 13 nm gold nanoparticles. This new surface has a remarkably more osteogenic potential than other surface treatments. The 13 nm GNPs did not show any cytotoxicity. Imunoflourescence and ESM results showed that it highly increased the rate of differentiation, proliferation, attachment, spreading and mineralization. PCR results showed enhanced gene expressions of Col-1, OPN and OCN osteogenic markers. ALP activity was also higher than the other groups. GNPs play an important role in cellular activity and growth. Photofunctionalizing GNPs highly increases its ostogenic capabilities. Our novel topography might be the most biocompatible titanium surface treatment up to date and it may have a good potential in further enhancing the osseointegration process and improving outcomes for maxillofacial and orthopedic patients.

Abstract:
This study aimed at assessing periodontal health status and treatment needs among psychiatric patients attending Ndola Central Hospital, Zambia. Cross section hospital based study was conducted between March and May 2015. Periodontal health status and treatment needs were recorded using Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Need (CPITN) according to 1987 WHO Surveys. Data was entered into a computer using Epi Info and analyzed using SPSS 16. Chi-square test (significant level of ≤0.05) was used to test associations between independent variables and periodontal health. A total of 110 psychiatric patients were enrolled in the study whereby 80 (72.7%) were males. Most (61.8%) of the patients were of age less than 35 years. Schizophrenia was the most common diagnosis (73.6%) and the average duration of diagnosed psychiatric illness was 5 years. Healthy periodontal tissues were found in 24.5% of the patients. Bleeding on probing, dental calculus, shallow pockets and deep pockets were recorded in 3.6%, 25.5%, 29.1% and 17.3% of the patients, respectively. Education (AOR for secondary education: 0.51, 95% CI [0.30, 0.87]) and age (AOR for 35+ years: 1.73, 95% CI [1.07, 2.82]) were significantly independently associated with poor periodontal health. Treatment requires include oral hygiene instructions (3.6%), prophylaxis (54.6%) andcomplex periodontal treatment 17.3%. All the inpatients 21 (19%) reported not to brush their teeth during admission period. Majority of the patients had poor periodontal health signifying need for deliberate tailor made periodontal prevention and treatment program among psychiatric patients. Age and education were significantly associated with poor periodontal health.

Abstract:
Interactive lecture (IL) is still new things terminologically to School of Dental Sciences (PPSG), University of Science, Malaysia. Unnoticeably many lecturers has practiced it during teaching and learning activities even they are seems unaware and lack of knowledge about IL. The claims of heavy workload and less time especially by clinician might hinder the use of IL in teaching and learning. A study has been done to find out the acceptance level for IL by dental lecturers at current time and after some exposure through intervention for the future and further planning and application at the school. Two sets of the same self-administered questionnaires were used in the study where the questionnaires consist of 4 sections (A, B, C and D) that will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. 71% has responded for pre-intervention where 37/52 (71.15%) are clinicians and 15/52 (28.85%) is basic sciences lecturers; whereas only 51.4% responded for post-intervention. Generally, lecturers at PPSG accept the application of IL, agree about the important and show interest in applying it in their teaching. No significant difference of all acceptances to IL components tested in this study between clinician and basic sciences lecturers. Clinical lecturers gave more reasons/problems for not applying it mostly claims due to lack of knowledge, time limitation, unsatisfactory supports
and facilities especially internet at the university and not suits the clinical teaching condition. Concern and strategies need to be found to improve this problem.

Title: Ultraviolet Photofunctionalization for Speed Osseointegration
Biography:
Abstract:
Osseointegration is a prerequisite of successful implant stability and is by far the most important factor to consider before establishing any further treatment. Biological ageing of titanium is the time-related degradation of the physiochemical properties of the implant surface. Ultraviolet photo-functionalization (PhF) reverses the ageing process, increases the BIC
to almost 100% in what is known as super-osseointegration and therefore increases the strength and the primary stability of implants while decreasing the average healing time. PhF regenerates the lost hydrophilicity caused by biological ageing of titanium and converts titanium surfaces from hydrophobic to super-hydrophilic. It also optimizes the electrostatic status of the
surface reverting it from electronegative back to the electropositive status found on fresh titanium surfaces. PhF also removes the significant amount of hydrocarbon that unavoidably accumulates on the surface by time leaving more space for cellular attachment. At molecular level it was shown that PhF of titanium surfaces increases protein absorption enhances osteogenic
migration and attachment, as well as osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation. Clinically, PhF allows for more treatment options as shorter and thinner implants can be utilized more frequently without any compromise to the treatment outcome. PhF therefore improves prognosis, decreases morbidity and has a significant impact on clinical practice.

Title: Antibacterial efficacy of neem, triphala, green tea and combination of neem with triphala extract against Enterococcus faecalis: An in vitro study
Biography:
Abstract:
Aim: The main objective of root canal treatment is to disinfect the entire root canal system and irrigation is an important step in reducing the bacterial load from the root canal system. However, irrigants currently used in the field of endodontic have their share of limitations, the search for an ideal root canal irrigants continues. The use of herbal extracts as endodontic irritants is today gaining popularity. This study is to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial potential of herbal extracts such as neem (Azadirachta indica), triphala (Terminalia chebula), green tea (Camellia sinensis) and combination of neem and triphala as endodontic irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis.
Materials & Methods: Freshly prepared extracts of neem, triphala, green tea and 2% chlorhexidine were used to assess the antimicrobial efficiency against Enterococcus faecalis using the agar well diffusion test. Agar plates were incubated at 37 oC for 24 hours in an incubator. The diameter of bacterial inhibition zones around each well was recorded to the nearest size in mm. Results: Higher mean zone of inhibition was recorded in chlorhexidine followed by neem extract combination of neem and triphala than triphala and green tea extract, respectively. The lowest mean zone of inhibition was found in green tea extract.
Conclusion: From the present study, it can be concluded that neem leaf extract shows comparable zones of inhibition with that
of chlorhexidine and combination of neem and triphala.

Title: Taming the “LEO†(Lesion of Endodontic Origin)
Biography:
Sanjeev Kunhappan is a Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics and has completed his BDS from College of Dentistry, Indore during 1996-97. Then he worked in College of Dental Sciences as a Lecturer for 6 years. He was then selected by Public Service Commission for the post of Lecturer in Government Dental College, Raipur, India in 2005. He has completed his MDS in 2012 and has published more than 10 papers in reputed journals. His interest is mainly towards non-surgical endodontic
Abstract:
A periapical lesion is formed within an area of existing apical periodontitis, the foci of infection being the degenerating pulpal tissues within the root canal system. This pulpal degeneration is caused by the microbes that enter the pulp chamber from oral cavity. These periapical lesion regresses as soon as the microbial etiology present within the root canal is removed by nonsurgical root canal therapy. Mere surgical removal of the periapical lesion, without proper root canal disinfection and three dimensional obturations are not sufficient for its complete healing. Non-surgical endodontic treatment using triple antibiotic
paste (TAP) as intra-canal medicament to disinfect the root canal system followed by mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for three dimensional obturations offers a high success rate in the healing of large periapical lesions. These clinical cases highlight the healing of large periapical lesions with conservative non-surgical endodontic treatment, followed-up over a period of 2-3 years.
