Materials and methods 56 incisors were endodontically prepared with the Protaper® system and were irrigated with Sodium hypochlorite at 2.5%. These teeth were divided into four groups depending on the final irrigation used. Group 1: 17% EDTA and 2.5% NaOCL, Group 2: 17% EDTA and 0.2% CHX, Group 3: 17% EDTA, 2.5%NaOCI and 0.2% CHX and Group 4: Only 2.5% NaOCI. All the canals were obturated with Endorez® and a gutta percha cone. After coronal obturation with composite resin, infiltration with china ink and diaphanisation, each tooth was observed using a stereo microscope and the dye ascent was calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using Post Hoc Test. Results: The irrigation associating EDTA and CHX showed less infiltration than that associating EDTA and NaOCI; (P=0.024). The group irrigated using the association EDTA and CHX gave infiltration rates inferior to those observed in the group irrigated with NaOCI (P=O). The group irrigated using the association EDTA, NaOCI and CHX showed infiltration rates weaker than the group irrigated with only NaOCL (P=0.04). Non significant differences were observed between groups 1 and 3 (P=0.68), groups 1 and 4 (P=0.1) and groups 2 and 3 (P=0.06).

Conclusions The sealing of root canal obturation with Endorez® is sensitive to the last irrigation solution used. The best results were observed in the asDental News, Volume XX, Number IV, 2013

Introduction The success of root canal therapy depends on the quality of several factors, including the instrumentation, irrigation, disinfection, and 3-dimensional obturation of the root canal.1 The ability to bond to radicular dentin has been perceived as beneficial for establishing a durable, impervious seal to prevent colonization of microbial biofilms and reinfection of filled canal spaces2 There has been a continuous quest throughout the history of endodontics for sealing materials that bond to instrumented canal walls.3 Resin-based sealers have gained popularity with the recent growing interest in adhesive endodontics. However, several factors make adhesion to the root canal system a challenge, such as chemical substances used during the biomechanical preparation, volumetric changes that occur in resin-based sealers during polymerization, bonding of the sealer because of polymerization shrinkage stresses, and various geometric factors.4 The irrigation solutions could alter the physicochemical characteristics of dentin3 and may have an adverse effect on adhesion to root canal dentin5 Endorez® (Ultradent Products Inc, South Jordan, UT) is a dualcured radiopaque hydrophilic methacrylate sealer that might be used in the wet environment of the root canal system.6 Endorez® required removal of canal wall smear layers to facilitate resin tag formation by hydrophilic resins.2 According to the manufacture, Endorez® can be used either with conventional gutta percha or with specific Endorez® point. In this work, we opted for conventional gutta percha as it represents the reference material for canal obturation and it is the

most used by the majority of practitioners. The objective of this work was to study the influence of the varioust most used irrigation solution combinations (sodium hypochlorite, EDTA and chlorhexidine) on the sealing of canal obturation using Endorez®.

Materials and Methods Samples preparation Fifty-six extracted mature human incisors with single straight canals and patent apices were selected. These teeth were stored in KCL at 0.9% until the operative procedures. After performing access cavities, Canals preparation were performed by the ProTaper Universal Series Rotary System according to the manufacturer’s recommendations using a crown-down technique. Irrigation was performed with sodium hypochlorite at 2.5%7 before and after the passage of each instrument. These teeth were randomly divided into 5 groups, each comprising 14 teeth. Each group underwent a final rinsing according to the following protocol. After rinsing, the canals were dried with paper points. The obturations were performed with Endorez® (methacrylic resin-based sealing cement) and with one gutta-percha cone according to the protocol recommended by the manufacturer (mono cone obturation). The master-cone (non-standardized medium size VENTURA) of each canal was adjusted with visual and tactile tests. (Control of Tug Back). A coronal obturation with composite resin (SWISS TEC®) was performed in order to obtain a maximal airtight and to avoid any infiltration risk of the dye through the coronal cavity. Infiltration (leakage) with china ink: All the teeth were immersed in china ink. Each tooth was placed, apex downward, in a Pyrex test tube half-filled with china ink. Each test tube was placed in a water bath, all placed in an agitator for 10 minutes. The water bath temperature was maintained at 37°C. After immersion, the teeth were left to dry in the open air for 24h. The dye deposit to the root surface of each tooth was carefully eliminated with the help of a Soflex disc of fine granulometry.

maintaining only the roots in order not to rapidly exhaust the acid solution. Only the roots underwent the diaphanisation stage. The teeth were placed for 12 days in nitric acid at 5% under continuous agitation and room temperature. The acid solution was daily renewed. To carry out progressive and complete dehydration, the roots were placed in growing concentrations of ethanol solutions (75%, 85%, and 95%, pure) for 24 hours each. The teeth were made transparent through immersion in methyl salicylate for 24 hours. Observation with stereo-microscope The stereo microscope was used to directly evaluate the dye recovery. The different samples of the five groups were photographed with the stereo microscope in two views (sections): vestibular and proximal. The measurements of the dye recovery were taken under an enlargement of 0,75, through unity of microscopic scale. (Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4) The Post Hoc Test was used to conduct a multiple comparison between groups 1, 2, 3 and 4. The value p is considered as significant when it is inferior to 0.05.

Results Infiltration scores are shown in figure 5. The significant differences were observed between: - Groups 1 (17% EDTA and 2.5% NaOCL) and 2 (17% EDTA and 0.2% CHX) (P=0.024). The irrigation associating 17% EDTA and 0.2% CHX shows less infiltration than that associating 17% EDTA and 2.5% NaOCL. - Groups 2 (17% EDTA and 0.2% CHX) and 4 (2.5% NaOCL) (p=0). The group irrigated using the association 17% EDTA and 0.2% CHX shows infiltration values of china ink clearly inferior to those observed at the level of the group irrigated with 2.5% NaOCL. - Groups 3 (17% EDTA, 2.5% NaOCL and 0.2% CHX) and 4 (2.5% NaOCL) (p=0.04). The group irrigated with the association 17% EDTA, 2.5% NaOCL and 0.2% CHX gives infiltration values weaker than the group irrigated with only 2.5% NaOCL. No significant differences were observed between groups 1 and 3 (P=0.68), groups 1 and 4 (P=0.1) and groups 2 and 3 (P=0.06). (Fig.1)

ten contradictory.7 Dye penetration study is frequently used as it presents a good correlation with the other techniques.8 Many researches on Endorez® cement have been interested in its adhesion to the dentine when comparing it to other sealing cements9,10 but few works have studied the effects of the irrigation solutions on the cement bonding. Endodontic irrigation can result in an alteration of the chemical and structural composition of the human dentin modifying its permeability and its solubility, and affecting adhesion of materials to dentin surfaces.11 According to Xiaoli study, the irrigation solutions act on the physicochemical properties of the dentin surface, mainly on its wetness and durability.1 Optimum adhesion requires intimate contact between the adhesive material and the substrate to facilitate molecular attraction and allow either chemical adhesion or penetration for micromechanical surface interlocking. Therefore, adhesion processes are mainly influenced by the relative surface energy (wetting ability) of the solid surface which, in turn, is affected by the

internal dentin wetness resulting from dentin permeability provided by water in the dentinal tubules. This wetness is a consequence of dentin permeability provided by water in the dentinal tubules.11 In this study, we tested the effect of the various most currently-used irrigation solution combinations (NaOCl, EDTA, CHX) on the leakage of Endorez® canal filling. We noticed that the final irrigation with only sodium hypochlorite gave the most significant infiltration values. Sodium hypochlorite is the base irrigation solution that allows canal disinfection and the elimination of the organic fraction from the smear layer.12 Sodium hypochlorite is a powerful oxidizing agent that allows the formation of an oxygen-enriched layer to the dentinal surface. According to Morris et al. NaOCL leads to the oxidation of certain components of the dentinal matrix.13 It also leads to the formation of protein free radicals that gets into competition with the vinyl free radicals generated by the photo activation of resin sealer. This leads to an incomplete polymerization that affects the obturation quality.14 Oxygen

is considered among the substances that inhibit the polymerization of resin-based sealers. 3, 15 According to Ari et al. the formation of oxygen bubbles in the resin dentin interface will interfere with resin infiltration at the level of the tubules.15 Irrigation with sodium hypochlorite also causes a reduction in the calcium and phosphorus rates of dentin surface14, 16, thus modifying certain mechanical properties of this tissue, such as elasticity, flexion and micro hardness. This contributes to the decrease of the micro mechanical interaction between the resin sealing cements and the dentin. All these points explain the bad results obtained in this study.14 The final irrigation associating EDTA and NaOCI did not give better results than the final irrigation with only hypochlorite. EDTA removes the mineral fraction from the smear layer exposing the dentinal tubules17 It is generally used in the final rinsing following the end of shaping.12 This irrigation sequence allows the total elimination of the smear layer (organic and mineral fractions) but it can be at the origin of certain problems for the exposed root dentin. EDTA can cause severe erosion to the dentin if it exposed for a long time or if EDTA is not neutralized. Calt and Serper suggest that EDTA should be used for less than a minute in the canal to avoid any risk of erosion.18 Dogan and Semra showed that the irrigation associating NaOCI and EDTA alter the mineral of the root dentin.17,18 Several other studies showed that the use of sodium hypochlorite in the final flush after EDTA increases dentinal erosion.19 NaOCI attack the collegen exposed.20 Although we had aspired NaOCI before using EDTA and we neutralized the latter with distilled water, the results were not better. This is explained by the oxidizing action of hypochlorite which was lastly used. Eldeniz study which used the final irrigation protocol (EDTA, NaOCl) showed a bad adhesion of Endorez® to the dentin compared to the other sealing cements.10 According to Doyle study, when EDTA is used in final rinsing following NaOCI, the adhesion of Endorez® to the dentin is not altered by the latter.21 The final irrigation associating EDTA and CHX showed better results with the weakest infiltration values. The absence of NaOCI ameliorates the quality of the canal filling (or of adhesion). In our study, we noticed that the neutralization of EDTA with CHX had ameliorated the obturaDental News, Volume XX, Number IV, 2013

tion leakage. Erdemir et al. noticed that CHX significantly increases the adhesion force of the resin sealers to the radicular dentin. This phenomenon could be explained by the adsorption of CHX to the dentin surface which is in favor of resin infiltration at the dentinal tubules.5 We noted that there are no significant differences between the irrigation associating EDTA and NaOCI and that associating EDTA, NaOCI and CHX. CHX managed to neutralize the effect of NaOCI. According to Santos et al, CHX used alone does not affect adhesion of the selfetching adhesives to the dentin as it is an antioxidizing agent. It is the same when CHX is associated with EDTA.14 It is worth noting that a white precipitate is formed when these two products are associated.15 When CHX is associated with sodium hypochlorite, a brown orange (parachloramine) is formed at the canal surface and it affects the canal obturation with the resin cements.4, 22 It is for these reasons that we performed rinsing with distilled water before the use of CHX.22 According to Wachlarowicz, the different irrigation solutions have little effect on the dentinal adhesion of epiphany-based sealers. The adhesion of epiphany to the dentin is comparable to other sealing cements. The negative effect of NaOCl on adhesion was not confirmed by Wachlarowichz study.24 Based on this study, the best leakage results were obtained with the following combinations “EDTA and CHX” and “EDTA, NaOCl and CHX”. The association EDTA, NaOCI and CHX allows a rigorous final disinfection thanks to the combined action of sodium hypochlorite and CHX without an alteration of Endorez sealer adhesion. This irrigation protocol could be indicated in case of infected canals.

Abstract Background: An 18 year old female patient presented for implant placement at the site of a congenitally missing right maxillary central incisor. The clinical examination revealed an insufficient bucco-lingual width of the edentulous ridge, requiring a horizontal bone augmentation procedure prior to implant placement. Methods: An autogenous bone block graft was harvested from mandibular symphysis, fixed on buccal aspect of edentulous crest with titanium miniscrews, covered first by autogenous bone chips and xenograft particles, and second with a resorbable barrier membrane. Four months later, an Astra TechÂŽ implant was placed in the grafted site, surrounded by a thick buccal bony wall, demonstrating excellent primary stability and guaranteeing a better esthetic outcome. Impressions for prosthetic work were taken and final restoration cemented 3 months following implant placement.

Discussion Autogenous bone block grafting is regarded as a predictable procedure, especially in horizontal bone augmentation from intra-oral sites. Many requirements have to be respected however in order to achieve this purpose. In addition, timing of implant placement with autogenous block grafts is a subject of controversy. Finally, implant placement in anterior maxilla has to meet guidelines proposed in the literature to avoid esthetic shortcomings. Conclusion: This case report describes the successful replacement of an anterior missing tooth with an AstraÂŽ implant after a bucco-lingual augmentation of the edentulous ridge. Dental News, Volume XX, Number IV, 2013

Introduction The ability to successfully replace single or multiple missing teeth with osseointegrated dental implants has revolutionized dentistry over the past four decades. Consistent long-term results have been reported in the literature (Adell et al., 1990; Albrektsson et al., 1986; Lekholm et al., 1994). Nevertheless, dental implant therapy can be complicated by numerous local factors, namely the anatomy of the edentulous ridge. An inadequate bone volume, either in height or in width, renders the placement of implants rather difficult, especially in areas of high esthetic demands. Various bone augmentation techniques have been described in the literature in order to reconstruct deficient alveolar ridges such as particulate bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, autogenous bone block graft, ridge expansion, and alveolar distraction osteogenesis (McAllister and Haghighat, 2007; Chiapasco et al., 2006 & 2007; Esposito et al., 2006). The purpose of this clinical report is to describe a case of single implant placement in maxillary right central incisor region following horizontal bone augmentation using an autogenous block graft in a young female patient.

Case Report An 18 year old female patient was referred by the Department of Orthodontics to the Department of Periodontology (at the Lebanese University School of Dentistry) because of a missing maxillary right central incisor.

Fig 1 Fig. 1: Extra-oral examination showing smile line, symmetry and missing right central incisor.

The patient had just completed her orthodontic treatment and a removable maxillary retainer was fabricated to maintain the space as well as to temporarily replace the missing tooth (Fig. 2).

In addition, the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics approved the initiation of surgical procedures after examining a hand wrist radiograph in order to confirm the end of growth. The questionnaire and the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s file revealed that this central incisor was congenitally missing. An extra-oral examination was first carried out, demonstrating a low lip line, facial symmetry and a well aligned dental midline. Then, intra-oral examination of the edentulous space showed a well managed space to symmetrically replace the missing right central incisor according to the left central incisor, a narrow alveolar crest indicating a horizontal bone loss at the site of the missing tooth (Fig. 3).

A periodontal probe (Michigan probe, Hu-Friedy, IL, USA) was then used under local analgesia to assess bucco-lingual width of bone crest, after subtracting the thicknesses of buccal and lingual soft tissues from total bucco-lingual width of the ridge at top of the crest. These measurements displayed an approximate horizontal bone thickness of 3 mm. However, optimal implant placement required a buccal bone thickness of at least 1 mm to avoid esthetic shortcomings, i.e. gingival recession (Belser et al., 1998; Chiapasco et al., 1999; Buser et al., 2004). Therefore, it was decided to perform a horizontal bone augmentation procedure using an autogenous block graft prior to implant placement in a staged approach. Moreover, a peri-apical radiograph revealed a sufficient height of bone (Fig. 4).

Onlay Bone Block Grafting Patient was instructed to perform a mouthrinse with a 0.12% solution of chlorhexidine-digluconate for 1 minute with a 10 ml solution immediately prior to surgery. Local analgesia (2% lidocaine with 1:100000 epinephrine) was administered in the area of the maxillary edentulous crest as well as in the interforaminal region of anterior mandible. Full-thickness buccal and palatal mucoperiosteal flaps with 2 buccal vertical releasing incisions were first raised at the recipient site. The direct measurement using a periodontal probe (Michigan probe, Hu-Friedy, IL, USA) confirmed the pre-operative bucco-lingual width evaluation. Then, a template was used and adjusted at the recipient bed to assess the dimensions of the block graft to be harvested (Fig. 5). Subsequently, a horizontal incision was made at muco-gingival junction from cuspid to cuspid at mandibular symphysis region and a full-thick

to minimize hematoma formation. Next, the flap was sutured back to its original position using an interlocked continuous suture technique. At the recipient site, the block graft was adjusted to achieve better adaptability and decrease micromovements. A round bur was used to perforate the buccal cortex of the recipient bed in order to promote bleeding and the block was fixed with 2 titanium miniscrews (Straumann®, Switzerland) after smoothening of its sharp edges.

was asked to use a mouthrinse (Chlorhexidine digluconate 0.12%) for 3 minutes, and local analgesia (2% lidocaine with 1:100000 epinephrine) was administered in the grafted maxillary area. Similar to the previous procedure, crestal, intra-sulcular and vertical releasing incisions were made and full-thickness buccal and palatal mucoperiosteal flaps were raised. The grafted region demonstrated an adequate horizontal bone augmentation of approximately 7 mm with some resorption at coronal level with no considerable effect on the outcome of therapy (Fig. 15). Fig 15

Antibiotic (Augmentin速 625mg TID for one week) and anti-inflammatory (Brufen速 400mg TID in case of pain) drugs were administered following surgery. Mouthrinses with a 0.12% solution of chlorhexidine-digluconate were started again 24 hours after surgery and continued for 2 weeks. The maxillary removable retainer was adjusted to avoid pressure over the grafted site and sutures were removed 10 days post-operatively. Implant Placement Four months later, patient returned to the Department of Periodontology for implant placement (Figs. 13 & 14) Fig. 13: Recipient site 4 months after bone grafting (Note that 1 of the miniscrews is showing through the alveolar mucosa).

The 3-dimensional implant placement was performed in respect to the guidelines proposed in the literature (Buser et al., 2004). Subsequently, a 3.5 x 13 mm Astra Tech速 implant was removed from its sterile container and delivered to the drilling site by first using the Delivery Cap and later the Torque Wrench until its rough surface was fully submerged in bone (Figs. 18 & 19).

Crown Placement Three months after implant placement, uncovering of the implant was performed and a healing screw replaced the cover screw. Three weeks later, abutment choice and impressions were made for prosthesis fabrication at the Lebanese University School of Dentistry Department of Prosthodontics. After another 3 weeks, the crown was cemented in place demonstrating an excellent immediate esthetic outcome and after a follow-up period of 1 month and 2 years (Figs 21, 22 & 23). Fig 21

Autogenous block grafting is a well documented procedure, either from intra-or extra-oral sites (McAllister and Haghighat 2007; Chiapasco et al., 2006). Horizontal bone augmentation, in particular, is considered a predictable approach with onlay bone grafts (Buser et al., 1996; Misch, 1997). Available intra-oral donor sites include mandibular symphysis, mandibular ramus and mandibular external oblique ridge (Proussaefs et al., 2002; Misch, 2000). Pre-requisites for the success of this therapy are the intimate contact and stabilization of the block graft to the recipient bed (de Carvalho et al., 2000; Urbani et al., 1998), and the cortical perforation with intra-marrow penetration of the defect site to increase the rate of re-vascularization and remodeling (Majzoub et al., 2000; de Carvalho, 2000). The amount of bone resorption of intraoral (chin and mandibular ramus) onlay block grafts has been reported to vary between 5 and 10% (Chiapasco et al., 1999; Raghoebar et al., 2000; Jemt and Lekholm, 2003). However, the use of barrier membranes in combination with block grafts seems to minimize the rate of bone resorption (McAllister and Haghighat, 2007; Chiapasco et al., 2006). The timing of implant placement in grafted sites has been a subject of controversy. Many authors24,25 advocated an immediate implant placement in conjunction with intra-oral onlay grafting procedure in order to reduce the risk of bone resorption that occurs, for the most part, shortly after graft fixation. Other authors22,23 recommended implant placement after a waiting period of 4 to 5 months of the grafting procedure to permit a better primary stability and integration of the implant in a re-vascularized bone and to avoid an implant loss due to exposure or infection of the block graft (Chiapasco et al., 2006). Therefore, in areas of esthetic concern, it would be wiser to place the implants in a delayed approach for more predictable results.

Like so many things in life, timing is everything. Parents, family physicians, pediatricians, family dentists, pediatric dentists, ear nose and throat surgeons, friends, family and, especially orthodontists find themselves, in a unique situation where they can change a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life, literally for the rest of that childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Mouth breathing, snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, obstructive sleep apnea, esthetically unpleasing facial features, narrow dental arches, need for future jaw surgery, recurring nasal and sinus infections, sinus pressure headaches, dry raw pharynx, post nasal drip and life long nasal obstruction are some of the quality of life issues that a child or teenager, with a developing long face syndrome, will have to deal with for the rest of his adult life. Especially if the developing long face syndrome is not intercepted.

The child, who has a developing long face syndrome, can have that pathological process intercepted through the use of some unusually simple procedures. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, partial resection of the inferior turbinates, maxillary expansion, upper lateral cartilage lateral (alar) rotation and use of a Vertical Chin Cup are some of the simple procedures that can, when done in a timely manner, be utilised to intercept the developing long face syndrome. And at the same time we can greatly improve that childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. Unfortunately current internet websites, as well as the government run pubmed.com, offer little in depth information re: the diagnosis of the developing long face syndrome, and virtually nothing regarding interceptive treatment of the developing long face syndrome.

40 Orthodontics Dentofacial Development

Effects of Nasal Airway Obstruction on Facial Growth In 1872, CV Tomes1 described the dentofacial changes associated with nasal airway blockage. He used the term “adenoid facies” because he believed enlarged adenoids were the principle cause of the obstruction. Over one hundred years later, numerous reports concerning this observation have appeared in the dental and medical literature, but the issue still remains controversial. In 1982, O’Ryan et al.2 critically reviewed the possible relationship between nasorespiratory function and dentofacial morphology, and concluded that they were unable to demonstrate a consistent relationship between obstructed nasorespiratory function, and the adenoid facies in a “long-face” syndrome. We have attempted to review the available evidence on both sides of this question and propose an aetiologic rationale for the findings. We will also describe a cooperative protocol between primary care physicians and dentists, allergists, oral myologists, otorhinolaryngologists (ENT doctors), and orthodontists for the management of young patients with increased nasal airway resistance.

Literature Review The initial views of Tomes were later supported by many leading orthodontists, in the 1930s, including Todd et al.3 and Balyeat and Bowen.4 Angle5 included airway obstruction as an important aetiologic agent in malocclusion and Ketcham6 indicated that patients were not receiving the full benefits of medical and dental therapy unless they were fully evaluated by both a rhinologist and an orthodontist. McCoy7 regarded nasopharyngeal obstruction as an important cause of malocclusion, noting an increase in Class III malocclusion, in his sample with an open mouth posture, and large tonsils. Moss8, in developing a “functional matrix” theory (originally proposed by van der Klaauw9), presented a logical rationale for the findings seen in nasally obstructive patients. His view held that bone responded to the influences of function, and adjoining soft tissue. This explained the narrow palate, and long face, seen in some chronic mouth-breathers. In contrast, Hawkins10, Howard11, and Leech12 found no relationship between malocclusion and mouth Dental News, Volume XX, Number IV, 2013

breathing. However, a serious flaw in their studies was the use of Angle’s horizontal classification system, to incorrectly assess vertical dentofacial dysplasias. In the 1950s, Subtelny13 and Ricketts14 examined the effect of nasal airway on facial growth, and concluded that airway obstruction had an important influence on facial form. In recent years, reports by Linder-Aronson and Woodside,15 Quinn,16, Rubin,17 McNamara,18 Bushey,19 and Harvold21 concluded that objective measurements have, in fact, substantiated the finding of chronic mouth-breathing as a casual factor in orthodontic anomalies. In 1968, Ricketts22 used the term respiratory obstructive syndrome to describe a constellation of findings, seen in chronic mouth breathers. Subtelny23, in 1974, also indicated that adenotonsillar hypertrophy (marked enlargement of the tonsils and adenoids) could influence facial growth. Marks24 studied the role of allergy in orofacial deformities and concluded that nasal obstruction was a significant cause of altered facial growth. Similar findings were reported by Shapiro and Shapiro.25 Quinn16 has cited nasal airway obstruction as the major cause of mandibular prognathism (forward projecting lower jaw), facial asymmetries, and vertical dysplasias. Linder-Aronson26 also was able to show that a group of post adenoidectomy patients, who became nasal breathers, had significant craniofacial changes, toward normal. Conversely, persistent mouth-breathers, and the un-operated controls, showed no changes. Harvold20 has shown skeletal changes in primates, secondary to experimentally produced nasal blockage. After removal of the obstruction, changes toward normality became apparent. Hannuksela27 compared 39 Finnish children, with moderate or severe allergic disease, with a control group. She found significantly steeper mandibular (lower jaw) plane angles in the allergic group. This group included children with allergic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, and allergic rhinitis. Hannuksela noted that children with documented adenoidal hypertrophies (on lateral headplates), had steeper mandibular plane angles. Recently, Long and McNamara28 reported 17 cases that devel-

Septal surgery is rarely indicated in the child, but should be considered in the presence of a marked nasal septal deflection with impaction. Cottle 35, Jennes36, and Farrior and Connolly37 have demonstrated that conservative septal surgery, in growing patients, will not have an adverse effect on growth of the boney and cartilaginous nasal vault. Rapid or semi-rapid maxillary expansion (RME), an orthodontic procedure38, is effective in improving the airway by widening the nasal vault.

Rhinometric data has supported the efficiency of maxillary expansion in treating nasal obstruction in a child, with a narrow maxilla. In our experience, nonsurgical expansion can be performed between the ages of 3 and 19 years. The rate of expansion is reduced in the older individual/patient.

The inferior turbinates move laterally, as the maxillary expansion device expands the maxilla, over a period of 3 weeks. Accordingly, the cross sectional area of the nasal vault is significantly improved. Figure 10: (Improvement in septal deviation post maxillary expansion therapy)

Fig 10

The septum straightens and the cross sectional area of the nasal vault increases, over a three week period of time, as the maxilla is expanded by the maxillary expansion device. The conditions of patients with vasomotor rhinitis can be improved with cryosurgery or electrosurgery.39 Chronically enlarged inferior turbinates can be reduced by electrocoagulation,40-41 or by partial resection.42-46

Figure 11,12: Partial resection of enlarged inferior turbinates

When the cause of nasal obstruction is allergic rhinitis (with associated hypertrophied tonsils, adenoids and inferior turbinates), a systematic programme of treatment is indicated. In these patients, adenoidectomy is frequently considered; however, removal of the adenoidal pad alone, in cases of untreated nasal allergy, will yield disappointing results because the anterior nasal vault will remain obstructed from inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Long-standing nasal airway obstruction can lead to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;disuseâ&#x20AC;? atrophy of the lateral crus of the lower lateral cartilage.30 The result is a slit-like external nares associated with a narrow nasal vault and a constricted upper dental arch.

oped increased lower facial height following palatopharyngoplasty (flap at the back end of the soft palate used to correct hypernasal voice ). They concluded that the pharyngeal flap procedure increased nasal airway resistance. Disagreeing with this etiologic contention, Vig29 stated that, in the absence of documented total nasal obstruction, surgical or other treatment to “improve” nasal respiration remains purely empirical, and difficult to justify from an orthodontic viewpoint. O’Ryan et al.2 reviewed the available literature and found no support for the contention that mouth breathing is a major aetiologic factor in the development of the long-face syndrome (LFS). Although the primate experiments performed by Harvold obviously cannot be performed on human subjects, technologic advances have permitted the development of sophisticated devices to simultaneously measure nasal and oral resistances. Prospective studies, as performed by Linder-Aronson,25 are still necessary for a more objective analysis of mode of respiration, and its influences on facial growth. Establishing a cause-and-effect relationship, between nasorespiratory function, and dentofacial development, is not simple. A dolichocephalic (long narrow face) pattern may be conducive to mouth-breathing, rather than mouth-breathing causing a dolichocephalic appearance. The studies by Shapiro and Shapiro,26 and Hanuksela,27 on patients with (nasal) allergy avoid this enigma.

Normal Nasal Respiration The nose filters, warms, and humidifies the air in preparation for entry into the bronchi and lungs. The functioning nasal airway may also create a certain degree of nasal resistance to facilitate the movements of the diaphragm, and intercostal muscles, in creating negative intrathoracic pressure that, in turn, promotes airflow into the alveoli.30 (final branchings of the respiratory tree…the primary gas exchange units of the lungs). Appropriate nasal resistance is 2 to 3.5 cm H2O/L/sec and produces high tracheobronchial airflow, which improves the oxygenation of the most peripheral pulmonary alveoli. Mouth breathing results in a lower velocity of incoming air, and also eliminates nasal resistance. Suboptimal pulmonary compliance (the ability of the lungs to stretch in a change in volume relative Dental News, Volume XX, Number IV, 2013

to an applied change in pressure) is the result. Blood gas studies have revealed that advanced mouth-breathers have 20 percent higher partial pressures of carbon dioxide, and 20 percent lower partial pressures of oxygen in the blood, associated with their lower pulmonary compliance and reduced velocity.31 Obstructive sleep apnea is regarded as a complication of nasal and oropharyngeal obstruction. Another less common complication of upper airway compromise is functional pectus excavatum. Upper airway compromise can also cause cor pulmonale as the result of pulmonary hypertension with associated right ventricular hypertrophy.32

History and Physical Examination The patient should be observed, as he enters the examining room, and sits in the chair. The facial posture should be noted to see if the lips are closed during respiration. Allergic “salutes” and “shiners” are seen commonly in patients experiencing allergic rhinitis. The patient may also give a history of frequent “colds” or “sinus.” A family history for allergy is likewise important. If either parent or a sibling has an allergic history, there is a 40 percent chance that the patient is allergic.33 One parent may have eczema alone and then transmit the allergic tendency in the form of allergic rhinitis. Any history consistent with obstructive sleep apnea or loud snoring should be explored, in detail, and parents should be asked about the sleep patterns of their children. An open mouth posture, while sleeping, may be a supporting sign. The child should be asked to seal his lips. It should be noted if the child has difficulty breathing through the nose. One nostril can be occluded and the response noted. The same procedure is followed for the other nostril. The one-to-four hour nasal cycle results in the inferior turbinate on one side being engorged for a time, followed by engorgement of the other side. This produces increased nasal resistance in one side of the nasal vault at a time.34 Patients with septal deviations may be totally obstructed when the nasal cycle occludes the contralateral side.

Treatment of Nasal Obstruction Adenoidectomy, with or without tonsillectomy, is indicated if enlarged adenoids (and tonsils) are the cause of upper airway obstruction. The lat-

After the airway obstruction is corrected, and a normal nasal airway is established, certain patients may still experience nasal collapse on inspiration. These patients could benefit from reconstructive surgery and/or alar dilators.

Note: Excising an ellipse of skin, and subcutaneous tissue, in the nasofacial fold, in these cases, can open the nasal valve by rotating the upper lateral cartilage laterally. The nasofacial fold is highly vascular. It is recommended that infiltration of ½ % Xylocaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 is placed both superficially, as well as down onto the periosetium, of the nasal bone, and ascending process of the maxilla. Then wait a full 7 minutes (while doing some other part of the operative sequence). Return to the nasaofacial fold, excise a long ellipse of skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia. Then immediately place a Weck Cell Sponge soaked in 2% Xylocaine with epinephrine 1:5,000 for topical anesthesia and hemostasis, color coded with methylene blue to prevent inadvertent injection, in the wound. And replace the same, several times, as the sponge becomes saturated with blood. Next apply suction to the Weck Cell Sponge and then lightly electrofulgurate specific bleeding points (fourth photograph). Finally do a two layered closure, and apply an ice pack. Fig 15

I would like to welcome you all on the 4th New Dental Era International conference. The three years of implementation of this conference were all successful and hopefully will still continue to be organized by our very active continuing education committee members. This year conference is hosting the 4th International College of Dentists meeting for district 2 of Middle East section, our continuing collaboration with them is another mark of excellency to our program. This conference will feature different presentation series highlighting the progress and challenges in all dental care specialties, e.g. bone graft and dental implant, Botox, treatment of dentofacial deformities, all-on-4 concept that allows for the rehabilitation of fully edentulous patients in just a few hours with no need for bone grafting technique, etc. There is no question that science will lead to new technologies for diagnosing, preventing and treating oral and craniofacial diseases and disorders. However, given the complexities of our health care delivery system and the economic and cultural differences in our society, practitioners, policymakers and dental educators must make a substantive and concerted effort to apply these new discoveries in ways that improve the oral health of all. It is in this light that we are very happy that experts in this field are attending here. Our institute is pleased to hold this 4th international conference. We hope that this conference will lead to more studies and contribute to further methodological developments in dentistry. DR. ALI AL EHAIDEB DEAN COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY TROPHY DISTRIBUTION TO:
