- Abstract
Even if the relationship between immunosuppression and increased incidence of systemic cancers is well known, there is less awareness about the risk of developing oral cancer in immunosuppressed patients. The aim of this review was to evaluate the association between immunosuppression and the development of oral cancer. Two authors independently and, in duplicate, conducted a systematic literature review of international journals and electronic databases (MEDLINE via OVID, Scopus, and Web of Science) from their inception to 28 April 2023. The assessment of risk of bias and overall quality of evidence was performed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale and GRADE system. A total of 2843 articles was identified, of which 44 met the inclusion criteria and were included in either the qualitative or quantitative analysis. The methodological quality of the included studies was generally high or moderate. The quantitative analysis of the studies revealed that immunosuppression should be considered a risk factor for the development of oral cancer, with a percentage of increased risk ranging from 0.2% to 1% (95% CI: 0.2% to 1.4%). In conclusion, the results suggest that a constant and accurate follow-up should be reserved for all immunosuppressed patients as a crucial strategy to intercept lesions that have an increased potential to evolve into oral cancer.

- Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) disease is the second leading cause of mortality in cancer patients. In the general population, the annual incidence of a thromboembolic event is about 117 cases per 100,000 persons, but cancer increases this risk about fourfold, while in patients receiving chemotherapy and surgical treatment, it is about sevenfold. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common form of oral cancer and represents a multistep process in which environmental factors and genetic alterations are implicated. Thrombotic risk is considered empirically low in OSCC patients, although few data are available. Having limited information available may result in poor awareness of VTE prevention in OSCC, risking jeopardising the oncologic treatment and increasing the morbidity and mortality among these patients. In this paper, the topic of OSCC-associated thrombosis will be discussed.

- Abstract
Diagnosis and management of sinonasal complications of dental diseases or treatment (SCDDT) may be challenging. We aimed to report our real-life experience in patients treated with endoscopic endonasal approach describing data about symptoms, etiology, extension of the disease and success rate. We evaluated retrospectively data about 262 patients diagnosed as SCDDT and managed from August 2015 to May 2022. In 44.65% cases, maxillary sinus complications were determined by a dental disorder; the remaining 55.34% of cases were iatrogenic. Patients were managed according to our multidisciplinary protocol including ENT, dental, and radiological evaluation. Treatments were planned with a personalized approach, based on the patient’s clinical characteristics; all patients were treated with an endonasal endoscopic mini-invasive conservative approach. Combined dental treatment was performed simultaneously in 152/262 (58%) of patients; in the remaining cases, it was postponed after surgery. The overall treatment success rate (symptom resolution and endoscopically observed maxillary sinus healing) was 96.5%. At 15 days after surgery, we observed a significant improvement in the quality of life. The mean post-operative Sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) score was significantly lower compared to baseline (6 versus 43.4; p < 0.05). Our study showed that endoscopic sinus surgery can be a successful procedure for treatment of SCDDT, leading to fast resolution of sinonasal symptoms and improving the quality of life. Furthermore, the technique allows removal of migrated dental material or dental implants even in challenging cases.

- Abstract
This review aims to analyze the multiple factors affecting patients' level of compliance (how much they wear removable devices/clear aligners) during orthodontic treatments and to investigate the available methods and devices to monitor the appliance wearing time and to improve it. A literature search was conducted on electronic databases (Pubmed, Scopus, and Google Scholar). The results of the present study suggest that compliance indicators may misestimate the intraoral wearing time. Compliance is affected by patient-related factors (age, personality traits, the importance of personal appearance, self-perception of malocclusion), appliance-related factors (visibility, pain/discomfort), and clinician-related factors (trust, clear and complete communication, motivation). The motivation of pre-pubertal patients is mostly external, while adolescents/young adults have intrinsic motivation for orthodontic treatment. Patients' self-reports tend to overestimate the appliance wearing time. Even if there is a lack of evidence, teledentistry might improve patients' awareness of being monitored, thus increasing the time for which orthodontic devices are worn. Compliance is a key factor for clear aligner treatments, but high-quality studies focusing on this aspect are missing. Further studies should focus on how to handle the lack of cooperation and how to increase compliance in order to maximize the treatment's results.

- Abstract
Simple Summary This study aims to find a correlation between Candida spp. oral colonisation prior to radiotherapy and (i) the development of severe oral mucositis (OM) (grade 3/4) and (ii) early development of severe OM (EOM). Candida spp. in the oral cavity appears to be a predictive factor of EOM. Preventive treatment could aid in reducing incidence of EOM. Further clinical trials are required to confirm our findings. Background: This study aims to find a correlation between Candida spp. oral colonisation prior to radiotherapy (RT) and (i) the development of severe oral mucositis (OM) (grade 3/4) and (ii) early development of severe OM (EOM). Methods: The protocol was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT04009161) and approved by the ethical committee of the 'Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Gemelli IRCCS' (22858/18). An oral swab was obtained before RT to assess the presence of Candida spp. Severe OM occurring before a dose of 40 Gy was defined as EOM. Results: No patient developed G4 OM, and only 36/152 patients (23.7%) developed G3 OM. Tumour site and lymphocytopenia were risk factors for severe OM (OR for tumour site: 1.29, 95% CI: 1-1.67, p = 0.05; OR for lymphocytopenia: 8.2, 95% CI: 1.2-55.8, p = 0.03). We found a correlation between Candida spp. and EOM (OR: 5.13; 95% CI: 1.23-21.4 p = 0.04). Patients with oral colonisation of Candida spp. developed severe OM at a mean dose of 38.3 Gy (range: 28-58; SD: 7.6), while negative patients did so at a mean dose of 45.6 Gy (range: 30-66; SD: 11.1). Conclusions: Candida spp. in the oral cavity appears to be a predictive factor of EOM.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyse the cytocompatibility of Surefil One (SuO) with respect to the release of monomers from the material. The following reference materials were chosen: SDR Flow Plus (SDR, Dentsply Sirona, Konstanz, Germany), One Q Bond (Q, Dentalica, Milan, Italy), and Ketac (K, 3M-ESPE, USA). Fifteen dentin discs (2 mm thickness and diameter) were obtained from 15 third molars and were used in this study. After dentin disc permeability measurement, murine fibroblasts were grown, and the pulp surface of the dentinal disc was placed in direct contact with the cells immersed in DMEM. The experimental materials were positioned on the occlusal side of each dentinal disc until a uniform thickness of 2 mm was obtained. Then, the discs were inserted into an artificial pulp chamber for 24 hours to assess the cytocompatibility. Afterwards, the moles of monomers leached from the specimens in DMEM were determined using HPLC. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA (p < 0.05). Under the experimental conditions, the toxic effect induced by all tested materials was slight or absent. Diurethane dimethacrylate and acrylic acid were not found in the culture media. It is concluded that all materials have good cytocompatibility consistent with the nondeterminability of the monomers released after polymerization.

- Abstract
Background and Objectives: Previous literature has disclosed that facial attractiveness affects the esthetic evaluation of nose and lip deformity on frontal and lateral photographs. However, it has never been debated if the removal of the external facial features on three-dimensional (3D) models ("cropped assessment bias") could provide a considerable usefulness in the interpretation and comparison of the results. Additionally, it has been assumed on two-dimensional (2D) studies that esthetic assessment biases with respect to observer gender, and it is not acknowledged if and to the extent that "gender assessment bias" may be influenced by a three-dimensional layout. The aim of this study is to investigate if facial traits and observers' gender may affect the esthetic ratings of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients after soft tissue reconstruction. Materials and Methods: Three-dimensional images of ten UCLP patients' images were acquired before the intervention (T0), one-month (T1) and six-months (T2) postoperative. Geomagic® software (version 2014; 3D Systems, Rock Hill, SC, USA) was used to remove the external facial features of 3D surface models. Five-point scale developed by Asher-McDade et al. was used to rate both nasolabial attractiveness and impairment for full-face (FF) and cropped-face (CF) 3D images. Forty-three judges (21 males, 22 females) were enrolled for the esthetic evaluation. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to test intra- and inter-examiner reliability; a value of 0.7 was set as the minimum acceptable level of reliability. Results: When comparing the 2 sets of observations (FF and CF), the ICC ranged from 0.654 to 0.823. Concerning gender assessment bias, the ICC ranged from 0.438 to 0.686 and from 0.722 to 0.788 for males and females, respectively. Concerning inter-examiner reliability, ICC for questions 2-7 ranged from 0.448 to 0.644 and from 0.659 to 0.817 at T0 and T2, respectively. Conclusions: The removal of exte

- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to systematically review the literature to determine: 1) the malignant transformation rate (TR) of Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) and its risk factors; 2) whether or not Oral Lichenoid Lesions (OLL) have a different malignant TR. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were used as search engines: only observational, full-length, English language studies were investigated. PRISMA protocol was used to evaluate and present results. PROSPERO registration code is CRD42016048529. RESULTS: Among 7429 records screened, only 21 were included in this review. Ninety-two out of 6559 patients developed Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), with an overall TR of 1.40% (1.37% for OLP and 2.43% for OLL), an annual TR of 0.20%. Female gender, red clinical forms and tongue site seem to slightly increase the transformation risk. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review confirms that both OLP and OLL, the latter with a slightly higher TR, may be considered Potentially Malignant Disorders (PMDs) and suggests that erosive type, female gender and tongue site should be considered as risk factors for OLP transformation. Major efforts should be done to establish strict clinical and histological criteria to diagnose OLP and to perform sounder methodological observational studies.

- Abstract
The need to rehabilitate severely compromised teeth is frequent in daily clinical practice. Tooth extraction and replacement with dental implant represents a common treatment choice. However, the survival rate for implants is inferior to teeth, even if severely damaged but properly treated. In order to reestablish a physiological supracrestal tissue attachment of damaged teeth and to arrange an efficient ferrule effect, three options can be considered: crown lengthening, orthodontic extrusion and surgical extrusion. Crown lengthening is considered an invasive technique that causes the removal of part of the bony support, while both orthodontic and surgical extrusion can avoid this inconvenience and can be used successfully in the treatment of severely damaged teeth. The aim of the present narrative review is to compare advantages, disadvantages, time of therapy required, contraindications and complications of both techniques.

- Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to detect the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to compare the results with healthy controls, matched for sex and age. Methods: Forty-one consecutive patients with OSA were prospectively recruited from the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at the A. Gemelli Hospital prior to undergoing any treatment for OSA and independently of OSA severity. All patients underwent a complete TMD examination according to the diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) protocol. The same examination was performed on 41 healthy controls matched for sex and age. Chi-squared test was used to compare results between the two groups. Results: Of the 41 patients with OSA, 21 (51%) presented signs and/or symptoms of TMD compared to 13 of 41 subjects (32%) from the control group. Headache attributed to TMD and disc displacement with reduction were the most common diagnoses, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of TMD signs and symptoms is significantly higher in untreated patients with OSA compared to healthy controls.

- Abstract
The human body is naturally colonized by a huge number of different commensal microbial species, in a relatively stable equilibrium. When this microbial community undergoes dysbiosis at any part of the body, it interacts with the innate immune system and results in a poor health status, locally or systemically. Research studies show that bacteria are capable of significantly influencing specific cells of the immune system, resulting in many diseases, including a neoplastic response. Amongst the multiple different types of diseases, pancreatic cancer and liver cirrhosis were significantly considered in this paper, as they are major fatal diseases. Recently, these two diseases were shown to be associated with increased or decreased numbers of certain oral bacterial species. These findings open the way for a broader perception and more specific investigative studies, to better understand the possible future treatment and prevention. This review aims to describe the correlation between oral dysbiosis and both pancreatic cancer and liver cirrhotic diseases, as well as demonstrating the possible diagnostic and treatment modalities, relying on the oral microbiota, itself, as prospective, simple, applicable non-invasive approaches to patients, by focusing on the state of the art. PubMed was electronically searched, using the following key words: "oral microbiota" and "pancreatic cancer" (PC), "liver cirrhosis", "systemic involvement", and "inflammatory mediators". Oral dysbiosis is a common problem related to poor oral or systemic health conditions. Oral pathogens can disseminate to distant body organs via the local, oral blood circulation, or pass through the gastrointestinal tract and enter into the systemic circulation. Once oral pathogens reach an organ, they modify the immune response and stimulate the release of the inflammatory mediators, this results in a disease. Recent studies have reported a correlation between oral dysbiosis and the increased risk of pancreatic

Purpose This systematic review was performed to compare tooth, implant and prosthesis failures and biological and technical complications in toothimplant vs freestanding implant supported fixed partial prostheses, in order to evaluate the effectiveness and predictability in combining teeth and implants in the same fixed partial prosthesis. Study selection A comprehensive and systematic literature research was conducted, according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement, to identify human trials, with a minimum sample size of 10 patients, comparing tooth-implant to freestanding implant supported fixed partial prostheses. Four groups of meta-analyses were performed based on the patients treated with toothimplant vs freestanding implant-supported fixed partial prostheses: abutment failures, biological and mechanical complications, prosthesis failures, and prosthetic (technical) complications. Results The search yielded 749 records, after removal of duplicates. Based on the title assessment, the abstracts reading and the full-texts evaluation, 8 articles, published between 1999 and 2013, fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. The studies included were: 4 controlled clinical trials, 2 prospective and 2 retrospective cohort studies. The meta-analysis revealed no significant difference between tooth-implant and implant-implant supported fixed in the number of abutment (implant or tooth) failures, biological complications, prosthesis lost, and prosthetic complications. Conclusions Within the limitations of the present systematic review, although the freestanding implant supported fixed partial prosthesis remains the first choice, joining teeth and implants to support fixed prosthesis in partially edentulous patients becomes a valid alternative with an acceptable success rate.

- Abstract
AIM: This study aimed to determine the impact of laser surgical tongue-tie, lip-tie, buccal tie release on breastfeeding and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in a prospective cohort study conducted from June 2019 to June 2020 in a private general dental practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Preoperative, one-week and one-month postoperative surveys were completed, consisting of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for nipple pain severity, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (BSES-SF), and the Revised Infant Gastroesophageal Reflux Questionnaire (I-GERQ-R). All study participants were breastfeeding dyads (0-12 weeks of age) with untreated ankyloglossia and/or tethered maxillary/buccal frena. The laser surgery was completed using 2 different near- infrared diode lasers with 300µm diameter fibre: a 980 nm wavelength diode laser (Lasotronix Smart Pro, Piaseczno Poland) was used at 4.0 W, gated with 100 µs t/on and 100 µs t/off, and a 1470 nm wavelength diode laser (Pioon S1, Wuhan Pioon Tech Co Ltd., Wuhan, China), used at 3.5W, gated with 50 ms t/on and 50 ms t/off. RESULTS: Statistically significant improvement was noted in VAS, I-GERQ-R and BSES-SF comparing preoperative scores to both one-week and one-month scores. The study had 132 breastfeeding dyads enrolled. Posterior tongue-tie was noted in 71% of this cohort. CONCLUSION: This study confirms the need for functional assessment of tongue and lip movement for this significantly affected cohort. Laser surgical release (frenotomy) of tongue-tie, lip-tie, buccal-tie resulted in significant improvement in breastfeeding outcomes. These improvements (VAS, I-GERQ-R and BSES-SF) in breastfeeding outcomes were found for cohorts of the classically recognised anterior tongue-tie and the less obvious (without functional assessment) submucosal tongue-tie were found.

- Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to estimate the osteoradionecrosis rate in patients with head and neck cancer due to teeth extraction performed before radiotherapy and to identify possible risk factors. Material and Methods: PRISMA protocol was used to evaluate and present the results. PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were used as search engines: English full-length papers of clinical studies, in peer-reviewed journals, were investigated. Cumulative meta-analysis was performed with a random effects model (PROSPERO registration code: CRD42018079986). Results: Among 2,020 records screened, 8 were included in this review. Sixteen of 494 patients who underwent tooth extraction before radiotherapy developed osteoradionecrosis, with an osteoradionecrosis incidence of 2.2% (95% Confidence of Interval = 0.6–3.9, p <.185, I2 = 3,044%). All cases were reported in the mandible. No other clinical risk factor for osteoradionecrosis was detected. Conclusions: Even if it is generally recommended to remove oral foci before radiotherapy, this systematic review confirmed that teeth extractions before radiotherapy represent a risk factor for osteoradionecrosis; the considerable amount of missing data prevented us from identifying other possible risk factors for osteoradionecrosis onset. Major efforts should be done to perform sounder methodological clinical investigations.

- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index ARI) of orthodontic brackets following enamel conditioning with acid etching, hydroabrasion, and with both procedures. Thirty extracted human premolars were divided into three groups and received either acid etching, hydroabrasion or both procedures. Orthodontic brackets were bonded with composite resin. Shear bond strength was tested with a tensile machine, then the teeth were observed under a stereomicroscope to evaluate ARI scores. The enamel morphology after each conditioning method was evaluated with scanning electron microscope imaging. A one-way ANOVA and a Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to compare the bond strength and the ARI scores among the three groups. Hydroabrasion alone produced shear bond strength values below clinical acceptability, while the combination of acid etching and hydroabrasion produced the highest values. The ARI scores in the hydroabrasion group were significantly different from the other groups. Hydroabrasion followed by acid etching was effective in increasing the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets. Further in vivo studies are needed to confirm the cost and benefits of this technique.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of graphene oxide (GO) against Enterococcus faecalis in vitro conditions and when used to coat dentin surface to prevent E. faecalis adhesion. The ATCC strain of E. faecalis 29212 has been used to perform a viability test. The pellet was suspended in ultrapure water, NaCl, PBS buffer, CaCl2 and MgCl2, Luria−Bertani broth solutions. The viability was evaluated by the colony forming unit counting method. Atomic force microscopy images and the measure of surface zeta potential variation were analyzed. Dentin discs were covered with a film of GO (n = 15) or were not treated (n = 15). Bacterial suspension was added to each sample of dentine discs and microbial counts were calculated. Statistically significant differences between two groups were assessed by a two‐tailed unpaired t‐test. Bacteria cell morphology was investigated with scanning electron microscopy. The highest growth inhibition was obtained in ddH2O and CaCl2 solution while, in PBS and NaCl, GO had poor antibacterial efficacy with a growth enhancing effect in the latter. GO on dentin discs demonstrated high antibacterial activity. GO film has demonstrated acceptable adhesion properties to root dentin and a role in the inhibition of bacterial film proliferation and biofilm formation.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the push-out bond strengths of four commercially available adhesive luting systems (two self-adhesive and two etch-and-rinse systems) after mechanical aging. METHODS: Forty single-rooted anterior teeth were divided into four groups according to the luting cement system used: Cement-One (Group 1); One-Q-adhesive Bond + Axia Core Dual (Group 2); SmartCem® 2 (Group 3); and XP Bond® + Core-XTM Flow (Group 4). Anatomical Post was cemented in groups 1 and 2, and D.T. Light-Post Illusion was cemented in groups 3 and 4. All samples were subjected to masticatory stress simulation consisting of 300,000 cycles applied with a computer-controlled chewing simulator. Push-out bond strength values (MPa) were calculated at cervical, middle, and apical each level, and the total bond strengths were calculated as the averages of the three levels. Statistical analysis was performed with data analysis software and significance was set at P<0.05. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences in total bond strength were detected between the cements (Group 4: 3.28 MPa, Group 1: 2.77 MPa, Group 2: 2.36 MPa, Group 3: 1.13 MPa; P<0.05). Specifically, Group 1 exhibited a lower bond strength in the apical zone, Group 3 exhibited a higher strength in this zone, and groups 2 and 4 exhibited more homogeneous bonding strengths across the different anatomical zones. CONCLUSIONS: After artificial aging, etch-and-rinse luting systems exhibited more homogeneous bond strengths; nevertheless, Cement-One exhibited a total bond strength second only to Core-X Flow.

- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To date, no systematic review has been undertaken to identify the complications of segmental osteotomies. The aim of the present systematic review was to analyze the type and incidence of complications of segmental osteotomies, as well as the time of subjective and/or clinical onset of the intra- and post-operative problems. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A search was conducted in two electronic databases (MEDLINE - Pubmed database and Scopus) for articles published in English between 1 January 2000 and 30 August 2015; only human studies were selected. Case report studies were excluded. Two independent researchers selected the studies and extracted the data. Two studies were selected, four additional publications were recovered from the bibliography search of the selected articles, and one additional article was added through a manual search. RESULTS: The results of this systematic review demonstrate a relatively low rate of complications in segmental osteotomies, suggesting this surgical approach is safe and reliable in routine orthognathic surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Due to the small number of studies included in this systematic review, the rate of complication related to surgery first approach may be slightly higher than those associated with traditional orthognathic surgery, since the rate of complications of segmental osteotomies must be added to the complication rate of basal osteotomies. A surgery-first approach could be considered riskier than a traditional one, but further studies that include a greater number of subjects should be conducted to confirm these findings.

To quantify and compare pre-operative and post-operative volumetric adjustments of the upper lip tissues in patients with cleft lip.The authors performed an anthropometric study and a quantitative analysis of the differences based on three-dimensional morphology of the nasolabial area. Twenty facial images using the three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry were taken from ten selected subjects on two separate occasions, sitting in natural head position. Facial landmarks were marked and measurements recorded, in order to calculate the volumetric adjustments in the soft tissues of the upper lip, comparing the preoperative and postoperative results. Student test and p-Value were performed for statistical analysis.The analysis of the 3D images showed variability with the pre- and postoperative volumes of the nasolabial area with: an increase of upper lip volume all patients; a complete view of the severity in the preoperative; and an improvement of the appearance in the postoperative. The amount of increase of the upper lip volume was established about 29,7%. For all measurements, the variability between pre- and post-operative was significant (p0.01).The 3D stereophotogrammetry technique allows a detailed preoperative evaluation and an accurate assessment of the surgical outcomes. The study provides a value of volumetric variation of the upper lip in individuals with cleft lip.Cleft lip, Nasolabial area, 3D Morphological Analysis, 3D Stereophotogrammetry, Upper lip volume.

The treatment of a complex case of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) with severe oligodontia.A 6 years old boy with HED, was treated with an orthodontic/prosthetic modular appliance. The device is custom made and consists of two parts, upper and lower, which were partially removable and partially fixed. The patient was prepared to receive dental implants for definitive oral rehabilitation. The treatment begun with heath-cured acrylic resin removable appliance with expansion screw in the maxilla and in the mandible. Afterwards, an innovative orthodontic/prosthetic modular appliance was made in the maxilla and in the mandible, fixed with bands on the first permanent molars, with expansion screw and telescopic screw that follow and support the resin prosthetic teeth during the orthopaedic expansion. The resin prosthetic teeth are removable from the metallic fixed structure of this appliance.The patient was followed for 10 years from the beginning of treatment.The modular appliance here described and our therapeutic approach showed to be efficient and durable in the achievement of many goals in the treatment of a complex case of HED. The objectives were not only just orthodontic, but also prosthetic and psychological.

- Abstract
The clinical practice guidelines do not give precise indications on the use of mandibular advancement devices (MAD) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients when they suffer from temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of MADs on prevalence of TMD signs and symptoms in adult OSA patients. The study protocol was registered under the PROSPERO register and an electronic search was performed in several databases. All types of studies evaluating TMD prevalence on adult patients wearing MAD for OSA were included and independently evaluated by two investigators. The quality of evidence was evaluated using the grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation and the risk of bias by the risk of bias in non-randomized studies of interventions tool or the Cochrane collaboration's tool. For each study included, the difference in means and 95% CI was calculated between baseline and follow-up. Twelve studies were included. The meta-regression analysis showed that patients with pre-existing signs and symptoms of TMD do not experience significant exacerbation of symptoms using the MAD. The presence of TMD does not appear to be routine contraindication for the use of MAD used for the management of OSA.

- Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate whether changes in the concentration of different biomarkers in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) can be used to detect the root resorption process in adult or adolescent patients undergoing treatment with a fixed appliance, in comparison with untreated subjects or treated patients not showing signs of root resorption. Material and Methods: The following databases were analysed in the period between June 2017 and March 2018, without any language and initial date restrictions: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. A quality assessment instrument (QAI) was developed to establish the risk of bias. Results: A total of 1127 articles were analysed. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven studies qualified for the final review. The QAI tool revealed that five articles were at a moderate risk of bias and two articles were at a low risk of bias. Conclusion: Dentine phosphoprotein (DPP) may be considered a relatively useful marker for root resorption. Dentinal sialoprotein (DSP) could be a potential biomarker but is not highly helpful at detecting root shortening. Inflammatory cytokines (pro- and anti-resorption), osteopontin (OPN), osteoprotegerin (OPG), RANKL and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are useful biomarkers to explain the biological mechanisms that occur during orthodontic movement but are not specific enough. Further studies are required to clarify the role of GM-CSF as a potential biomarker to distinguish subjects at a risk of severe root resorption in the early phase.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: The soft tissue profile outcome after functional treatment of Class II malocclusion is important for a patient's aesthetic and psychosocial results. The soft tissue effects of the Sander bite-jumping appliance (BJA), which is the device that produces the greatest mandibular advancement according to a systematic review, have never been investigated. The aim of the present study was to assess the soft tissue effects of the BJA in comparison to matched untreated controls. METHODS: A total of 19 patients treated with BJA during puberty were retrospectively recruited, and 15 untreated controls were retrieved from a previous growth study to match the treated group. Lateral cephalograms were used to evaluate the pre- and post-treatment differences in the ANB angle, the inclination of the upper and lower incisors, facial convexity, the nasolabial angle and the sagittal position of the skeletal and soft tissue at points A and B. Independent t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests were used to detect differences between the two groups. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were found for the ANB angle, the inclination of the upper incisors and facial convexity. CONCLUSIONS: Functional treatment of Class II patients with the Sander BJA during puberty was effective at improving the profile and reducing the facial convexity angle in the short term.

- Abstract
Brain abscesses (BAs) are rare but life-threatening infections. BAs of an odontogenic origin should always be considered as a possible aetiological factor, especially when other infectious foci are not present. Clinical presentation in children may be ambiguous and pose a difficult differential diagnosis: the identification of causal bacteria can be difficult and odontogenic origin is often a diagnosis of exclusion. The aim of this paper was to systematically review the literature reports with particular emphasis on therapy and propose a diagnostic flowchart for odontogenic brain abscess in children. A systematic literature review was performed on PubMed, Scopus and ISI Web of Science to identify cases of BAs in children and discuss clinical management: only human research articles, published in peer-reviewed English language journals, were included. Among 109 articles, 7 publications were selected for data analysis: clinical data could be extracted for only 8 subjects; different clinical approaches are descripted in the reports, even if therapy should be started as soon as possible to prevent rapid diffusion to the rest of the central nervous system. Due to their rarity and ambiguous clinical presentation in children, BAs of odontogenic origin are difficult to diagnose. A thorough oral-maxillofacial investigation should always be performed to exclude an oral origin.

- Abstract
Objectives: This review investigated the effects of orthodontic or functional orthopedic therapy on masseter muscle thickness through the use of ultrasonography (US) in growing subjects when compared with untreated subjects. Materials and Methods: This review systematically assessed studies that investigated growing subjects undergoing orthopedic therapy for the correction of malocclusion of vertical, sagittal and transversal plane. Electronic databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE-PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) were searched up to February 2019, including available RCTs and CCTs, without language restrictions. The primary outcome was the effect of orthopedic or functional treatment on masseter muscle thickness. The risk of bias of included studies was assessed through the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale with the aim of defining their methodological quality. A random-effects meta-analysis analyzing mean differences with 95% confidence intervals was used for quantitative analysis. Results: The search retrieved 749 titles, but the studies selection resulted in a final sample of 5 CCTs. The studies retrieved data from 233 children (age range: 5-22 years) and were conducted at university dental clinics. Children were treated for Class II malocclusion, increased vertical dimension or lateral cross-bite variably with rapid or slow maxillary expansion, twin block, bite block, mandibular activators, quad helix, alone or in combination. Risk of bias was assessed as medium for three studies, low for one and high for another. The meta-analysis determined that at the end of orthopedic or functional treatment masseter muscle thickness, measured through the use of US, is significantly reduced (MD -0.79 mm; 95% CI -1.28 to -0.31). The reduction in muscle thickness, therefore, could be considered an indicator for the evaluation of the success of therapy with orthodontic appliances. Conclusions: Although the meta-analysis revealed that US could be considered a less invasive and e

- Abstract
The microbial infection of the endodontic space occurs in a necrotic tooth as a result of dental caries, trauma, periodontal disease, or previous root canal therapy. The disruption of the biofilms and the reduction of the bacterial load inside root canals are crucial for the success of root canal therapy. The aim of this study was to compare, in vitro, the antibiofilm efficacy of a novel passive sonic irrigation (PSI) device with passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and conventional needle irrigation (CNI). Forty-four single-rooted human teeth were inoculated with a culture of E. faecalis for 28 days. The specimens were randomly divided into three groups: PUI, CNI, and PSI (n = 12). The activation protocols were performed using both 17% EDTA and 5.25% NaOCl. Residual bacterial biofilm was taken by means of a canal brush and colony-forming unit (CFU) were counted. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Games-Howell's post hoc tests. A major reduction in CFU was observed in the PSI and PUI groups, in comparison with the CNI group. No difference was found (p > 0.05) in terms of CFU reduction between PSI and PUI. PSI could be as effective as PUI in the removal of bacterial biofilms from straight root canals.
