[Respiratory manifestations of reflux disease. Gastric acidity--poison for larynx, teeth and respiratory tract].

Gastroesophageal reflux is now a generally accepted risk factor for the development of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Less well known is the relationship of reflux disease (GERD) and respiratory disorders. Among the extra-esophageal manifestations of reflux disease is reflux laryngitis, which affects up to 78 patients with chronic hoarseness, Reinke's edema, laryngeal stricture, postnasal drip, asthma and non-cardiac chest pain. Despite popular opinion, changes in lifestyle (for example, cessation of smoking and drinking, avoidance of fatty foods) do not result in an improvement in symptoms. The treatment of choice for GERD is the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) in the form of stepdown therapy; in individual cases as symptom-orientated on-demand therapy.

Two-year clinical evaluation of four polyacid-modified resin composites and a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement in Class V lesions.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the clinical performances of four polyacid-modified resin composites (F2000, Dyract AP, Compoglass F, and Elan) and one resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (Vitremer) in Class V abrasion/erosion lesions. METHOD AND MATERIALS: Twenty restorations of each of the five restorative materials were placed in noncarious cervical abrasion/erosion lesions by one dentist. No cavity preparation was attempted. All teeth were isolated with cotton rolls and gingival retraction cord. The materials were manipulated according to the manufacturer's instructions and placed with the help of cervical matrixes. Restorations were finished and polished immediately after the placement. Evaluations were performed at baseline and 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after placement for retention, color match, cavo-surface marginal discoloration, anatomic form, marginal adaptation, secondary caries, and postoperative sensitivity. RESULTS: Retention levels at 2 years were 90% for F2000, 90% for Dyract AP, 89% for Compoglass F, 84% for Elan, and 95% for the Vitremer restorations. No statistically significant differences were found among the materials after 2 years for any evaluation category. CONCLUSION: Polyacid-modified resin composite and resin-modified glass-ionomer cement restorations showed acceptable clinical performance after 2 years.

Eating disorders: identification and intervention.

Society's preoccupation with outward appearance and thinness has increased the incidence of both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, two potentially threatening diseases. Unfortunately, it is difficult to obtain accurate statistics on these eating disorders. Those with an eating disorder are often unwilling to admit they have this disorder and are reluctant to seek help. Subsequently, eating disorders have become a serious concern for medical and dental professionals. Since dental professionals see patients on a regular basis, he/she may be the person to whom the eating disorder patient confides.1 For the same reason, the oral care provider may be the first to notice oral manifestations of disease in the anoretic or bulimic person.2,3 The dental professional can serve as an important link between the person with an eating disorder and professional therapy. Knowledge of the signs and symptoms for these diseases is important because early diagnosis and treatment can result in more successful therapy.

Eating disorders.

Eating disorders are a serious concern in clients health and a challenge to oral health professionals. These illnesses, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating, and pica, are characterized by serious disturbances in eating and effects on psychological health. Physiologic changes associated with eating disorders may be devastating and can lead to mortality. Despite the serious consequences of eating disorders on physical and psychological health and well being, these disorders are often difficult to diagnose. Even when detected, ill clients may be averse to accepting treatment. Thus, oral health professionals must be aware of the signs of eating disorders, and be prepared to collaborate with other health care providers to treat them. The purpose of this course is to review the medical and dental literature concerning eating disorders types, risk factors, systemic health consequences, oral manifestations, and treatment considerations. The role of oral health professionals as part of an interdisciplinary health team focused on addressing the needs of clients with eating disorders will be addressed.

The treatment of localised anterior tooth wear with indirect Artglass restorations at an increased occlusal vertical dimension. Results after two years.

This study evaluated the use of indirect palatal veneers placed at an increased vertical dimension of occlusion in patients with advanced localised anterior tooth wear. A total of 75 indirect Artglass palatal veneers were cemented on 12 patients. Patients were reviewed until the posterior occlusion had re-established and then annually. Preliminary follow up at two years showed minor failures had occurred in 13.3% of cases. These were repaired with direct composite or polishing only. Posterior occlusion was restored after a mean duration of nine months in ten cases. Artglass indirect palatal restorations are an effective short-term treatment of localised anterior tooth wear.

Consensus-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of dentin hypersensitivity.

These consensus recommendations for the diagnosis and management of dentin hypersensitivity were developed by a broadly constituted board of dentists and dental hygienists drawn from general dental practice, specialist practice, academia and research from across Canada, joined by 2 international dentists with subject matter expertise. The need for consensus recommendations was made evident by the lack of clear and robust evidence in the dental literature, as well as confusion about diagnosis and management demonstrated by an educational needs assessment survey. High prevalence of the condition, underdiagnosis and widespread availability of noninvasive, efficacious and inexpensive preventive treatment further underscored the need for direction. This paper outlines the key elements of the scientific basis for the causes, diagnosis and management of dentin hypersensitivity; where such evidence is deficient, the document relies on the compound experience of the board. A simple algorithm was developed to guide clinicians through the diagnostic process and assist them in determining appropriate case management. Finally, the board makes a series of recommendations to raise awareness, to improve dental education, to develop symbols for charting, to develop an index for case assessment and for further research.

[Paracervical non-caries defects].

The aim of the study was the description of origin and treatment of paracervical, non-caries defects. Dental plaque is involved in the formation of caries defects, while those of non-caries origin are produced due to the action of mechanical and chemical factors. The treatment consists in wide fluoride prophylaxis (elimination of causes) and in the application of mineralization procedures and restoration of missing dental tissue using modern dental highly-adhesive materials. At the same time occlusion disorders and parafunctions are eliminated.

[Restoration of occlusal structure by direct tooth coating materials].

For the restoration of occlusal anatomy partial gold restorations are preferred. Adhesive techniques in combination with plastic materials can also be used and are less invasive than indirect restorations. Occlusal tooth wear is becoming a major problem all over the world. This paper describes minimal invasive techniques to restore tooth wear.

Clinical comparison of Class V resin composite and glass ionomer restorations.

Three techniques for restoring abrasion/erosion lesions were evaluated over a 2-year period: 1) glass ionomer restoration (Ketac-Fil); 2) composite restoration with a dentin bonding agent (Silux Plus, Scotchbond 2); 3) composite restoration with glass ionomer liner and a dentin bonding agent (Silux Plus, Vitrebond, Scotchbond 2). There were 116 lesions restored and 115 evaluated for color match, cavosurface discoloration, surface texture, caries development, and retention. Most restorations were rated clinically acceptable for color match, cavosurface discoloration, surface texture, and caries development when measured at 2 years. Glass ionomer restorations and composite restorations with a glass ionomer liner and a dentin bonding agent demonstrated better retention rates, 97.4% and 100% respectively, than the composite restorations with a dentin bonding agent only (86.8%) (Cochrane Q test, P = 0.07).
