Abstract:
Dental implant technology was first introduced nearly 42 years ago and it has a dramatic transformation in the dentistry industry as well as an alternative to traditional treatments. Nowadays, implants are a good treatment for patients who cannot use their complete denture and who missed their teeth and it should be noted that dental implants besides the incredible advantages have disadvantages and at the same time correct management of the diagnosis before and after surgery is important to prevent further problems. In this article, Author tried to investigate the treatment plan as well as the management of complications before and after implant surgery. Common complications may include factors such as incorrect treatment plan, sinus perforation, mandibular fracture, lack of primary stability, wrong angulation that can be determined by the proper diagnosis of the treatment plan, having CBCT, proper surgical guide and the dentists experiences, which can be a major factor in managing and preventing further complications.

Abstract:
Abstract
Statement of the Problem: Using mouthwashes have been recommended to limit dental caries, periodontal diseases and due to their affection for restorative dental materials. The longevity and durability of the aesthetic composite resin restorative materials are important factors in the oral environment. However, many studies conducted the effect of some mouthwashes on the surface hardness and accuracy of composite resin.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of both Listerine alcohol-contained and GUM alcohol-free mouthwashes on the surface hardness and dimensional accuracy of light-cured composite resin.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: 30 disc-specimen of nanohybrid light-cured composite resin was prepared for this study (Smile USA, shade A2). According to ISO standardization, the disc dimension was of 12(±0.2mm) in diameter and thickness of 3(±0.2mm). The sample divided into three groups (n=10) (3-readings each), G1: Control non-treated (distilled water); G2: Listerine (Alcohol-contained mouthwash) (Johnson and Johnson, UK) and; G3: G.U.M (Alcohol-free mouthwash) (Ivohealth, South Africa). The specimens were measured for surface hardness using Shore D and for dimensional accuracy by digital vernier caliper device at different immersion intervals. These include pre-treatment (initial), after 1 week, after 4 weeks, and after re-curing. Data were analyzed via one-way ANOVA (post-hoc Turkey test) performed at a confidence level of 95% and a significant P-value of (P≤.05).
Findings: Within the study limitation, both Listerine alcohol-contain and G.U.M alcohol-free mouthwashes had no effect on the hardness and dimensional accuracy of the composite material before recurring. While after the re-curing process, only GUM mouthwash showed a reduction in the surface hardness of the composite material. Further studies were needed to estimate the effect of mouthwashes on the micro-hardness and wearability of the composite materials.

Hollie Hawrot
Floating Doctors, Panama
Title: The DMFT of 12-year-olds in the indigenous Ngobe-Bugle population compared to the DMFT of 12-year-olds in Panama
Biography:
Hollie Hawrot is a Lead dental provider in Floating Doctors which aims to promote Oral and dental health care delivery worldwide.
Abstract:
Statement of the Problem: The Ngobe-Bugle populations, who are indigenous to Panama, are the largest of the three indigenous groups. Historically, they have had limited contact with dental professionals and therefore, have received minimal oral health education. Over recent years, refined sugar and sugar-containing products have become much more easily accessible to these populations. There is very limited research on the oral health of the Ngobe-Bugle populations and therefore the DMFT (decayed, missing and filled teeth) of the paediatric population is unknown.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to calculate a DMFT rate for the paediatric patient’s in the Ngobe-Bugle population, and compare it to the DMFT rate of children in Panama as a whole.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Using standard WHO methodology, examinations for missing teeth and caries were completed by three dental professionals who calculated a DMFT rate. Data was collected retrospectively and patients from the age of 5-18 were included in the study. Unerupted teeth, congenitally missing teeth, supernumerary teeth and third molars were not included in the study. An average DMFT score was calculated for 12 year-olds and as an average for 5-18 year olds, and was compared to the DMFT rate of 12 year olds in Panama.
Findings: The DMFT rate of 12 year-olds in the Ngobe Bugle population was higher than the DMFT rate of 12 year-olds in Panama.

Abstract:
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases in children. However, several studies have shown that unbalanced diabetes is often associated with changes in the oral environment namely altered buffering capacity, xerostomia, high numbers of Streptococci and Lactobacilli which increases the risk of dental caries.
Aim: To reduce the appearance of Streptococcus sanguinis involved in dental caries.
Materials & Methods: After recruiting diabetic children, two young patients responding to informed consent, underwent salivary sampling for isolation and identification of the bacterium, microbial activity of the extracted oil was evaluated by the disc diffusion method, then a minimal inhibitory concentration was sought, then antioxidant activity was achieved by the free radical trapping method DPPH
Results: Carious disease is present in 80% of diabetic children, 72% had unbalanced diabetes with an average HbA1C level of 8.1+/-1.6%. The disc diffusion method has shown that essential oil of cumin has intermediate activity on Streptococci sanguinis. The inhibition diameter is 14mm. This oil also has a more interesting antioxidant activity (CI50=0.02) than ascorbic acid (CI50=0.048) All experiments were performed in triplicate. Data were analyzed using SPSS software 21.0 (Chicago, IL, USA). The data are expressed as the mean±standard deviation values. The statistical analysis was done using Student's t-test. Values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of carious disease in diabetic children. The essential oil of cumin revealed an interesting intermediate activity on S. sanguinis, to prevent the installation of the lesion.

Abstract:
The gag reflex is a complex physiologic phenomenon that compromises quality of dental treatment and is a barrier to optimal patient care. This phenomenon is protective in nature and presents a bewildering and frustrating problem in various dental procedures, resulting in compromised treatment. Behavioral approaches, complementary medicine therapies and pharmacological techniques are methods used for the treatment of patients with problematic gagging. The aim of this review is to describe problematic gagging and to give information about the management of such cases and includes various strategies to assist clinicians.

Title: Child’s oral health-A hand in hand approach
Biography:
Abstract:
Dental care is the most unmet care need of children which places more than 52% of children at risk of untreated oral disease. Those at increased risk include poor or minority families or children with special health care needs. Children and RSQUO`S oral health care can be predicted from their development changes and their position in life span and the deficiency, in the context of environment and current demographic changes. It is always said that “Prevention is better than cure”. So we should try to prevent oral diseases in a child rather than curing it at later stages as it will be more time taking and costly. Now a days special gap in education include training of general dentist to care for infants and young children as well as pediatric providers and other professionals caring for child in oral health promotion and disease prevention. Education should focus on technical aspects of interdisciplinary approach as child and RSQUO`S oral health care can be improved by integration of dentistry with medicine and other health care professionals. Child`s oral health should be a hand in hand approach. Oral health is shared moral responsibility of dental and other medical professionals working with children, parents and society.
Jinesh Shailesh Thakrar
Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust, UK
Title: Study of wisdom teeth referrals into Birmingham Dental Hospital, UK
Biography:
Jinesh Shailesh Thakrar has completed his Graduation at Birmingham Dental School in 2015 and is currently working as a Dental Officer at Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust. He has also spent time working in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery as a Senior House Officer. During his time at University he noticed a number of patients having their wisdom teeth and a secondary molar removed due to caries and was interested to investigate further.
Abstract:
Third molar surgery is one of the most common procedures performed in oral surgery. There is no controversy when it comes to removing third molars which show signs of pathology or present with symptoms but prophylactic removal of third molars has caused lots of debates for a number of years. Before the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) created the guidelines for third molar extractions, wisdom teeth extraction was a very common procedure costing the NHS around £30 million per year and roughly £20 million was spent privately. From 27th March 2000 NICE published guidelines on wisdom teeth removal resulting in a decrease in 30% of wisdom teeth extractions. It does not however include distal decay in the second molar as a reason for removal. My research project looked at wisdom teeth referrals into Birmingham Dental Hospital, UK and assessed which NICE guidance category they fell under as well as if there was any radiographic evidence of distal decay in the second molar. A total of 69 cases were assessed, 45 female and 22 male. The most common age group of referrals was between 24 and 30 with 61% of all cases presenting with a vertical impaction. Caries was the most common reason for referral (39%) with 22% of all cases having radiographic evidence of caries in the lower second molars. Of those that presented with caries in the lower second molars only 33% had it mentioned in their referral letter and this was most commonly in mesially impacted lower wisdom teeth. There is relatively low proportion of those with evidence of caries in the second molar and so I would not consider it to be a necessary change for NICE guidelines. I would however put more emphasis providing oral hygiene advice to patients with mesially impacted wisdom teeth.
