Abstract The management of tooth discoloration consists of implementing the required therapy. Scaling and polishing of the teeth using prophylactic paste applied with a rotating rubber cup may remove many extrinsic stains. For more stubborn extrinsic and intrinsic stain, various bleaching techniques may be attempted. Bleaching can be performed externally, termed night guard bleaching or vital tooth bleaching, or intra coronally in root-filled teeth, called non-vital tooth bleaching. Teeth discolored by dental caries or dental materials require the removal of the carious and/or restorative material, followed by adequate restoration of the tooth. Partial or full-coverage dental restorations may be used to treat generalized intrinsic tooth discoloration in which bleaching is not indicated or in which the esthetic results of bleaching fail to meet the patient’s expectations.

The purpose of this article is to review literature on the management of tooth staining and discoloration.

Keywords Management, extrinsic discoloration, intrinsic discoloration

Introduction Tooth color changes may be the result of intrinsic or extrinsic factors. In the management of patients with discolored teeth, knowledge of the mechanisms and the etiology behind tooth discoloration is of relevance as it can influence the treatment plan. There are many factors that contribute to tooth staining. It is important to understand what staining is in order to be able to prevent it.1 Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number I, 2016

In some instances, the mechanism of staining may have an effect on the outcome of treatment and can influence the treatment options offered by the dentist to the patients.2, 3

History History is essential for establishing an accurate diagnosis of intrinsic tooth discoloration, as the choice of treatment it should cover the following aspects: History of mother’s obstetric and the delivery; medical history including neo-natal or early childhood illness and drugs intake, dental history relating to primary teeth and about any trauma of primary and permanent teeth; family history of discolored or abnormal teeth; fluoride history including supplementation, residence in natural water areas, tooth brushing habits including the amount of paste used, the type of paste in childhood and any admitted swallowing of paste.4

Examination Clinical A standard extra-oral examination and full mouth intra-oral examination should be undertaken, with special emphasis on the presence and/or absence of both primary and permanent teeth.4 The scratch test is usually used to distinguish between extrinsic and intrinsic discoloration. Discolored tooth surfaces are scratched with care by using a dental explorer, scaler, or similar sharp instrument to assess surface texture.2 Light scratching with a dental instrument removes weakly adherent plaque that causes extrinsic discoloration. If the discoloration requires removal

with a sharp dental scaler, the discoloration is considered to be tenacious. Intrinsic discoloration cannot be removed by using the scratch test. Extrinsic staining of a single tooth is unusual. The distribution is usually generalized. The stains are usually found on surfaces with poor tooth brush accessibility.2 In case of intrinsic discoloration, distribution is either generalized to all teeth or localized to certain teeth or tooth surfaces. An intrinsic etiology usually exists when a single tooth is discolored.

Teeth with extrinsic tooth discoloration usually demonstrate no signs of pulp disease, usually associated with intrinsic discoloration.2 Additional Investigations Appropriate radiographs will show abnormalities of enamel and dentin structure, abnormal tooth morphology and the adequacy of root canal fillings in non-vital teeth. Sensibility testing will suggest the presence or absence of a functioning nerve supply.

Histological sectioning of exfoliated or extracted teeth may identify hereditary and environmental abnormalities.4

14 Restorative Dentistry Diagnosis

Management of stains (Table 1)

Clinical examination and review of oral hygiene practices, dietary habits and history of exposure to chemicals, trauma, and infection are essential in making a final diagnosis of the cause of tooth discoloration.5

Proper diet and habits Extrinsic staining caused by foods, beverages, or habits (smoking, chewing tobacco, coffee and tea) is treated with a thorough dental prophylaxis and cessation of dietary or other contributory habits to prevent further staining.6, 7

16 Restorative Dentistry Tooth brushing Effective tooth brushing twice a day with a dentifrice helps to prevent extrinsic staining. Most dentifrices contain an abrasive, a detergent and an anti-tartar agent. In addition, some dentifrices now contain tooth-whitening agents.6, 7 The patient’s use of a dentifrice can also contribute to dental stain removal and prevent recurrent discoloration.8 The dentifrice’s stain-removal property is firstly related to the abrasives present in its composition.9 It is important to point out that if, on one hand, increased dentifrice abrasiveness leads to improved stain removal efficacy, on the other hand it increases tooth wear. Thus, dentifrices containing active ingredients specifically designed for tooth stain removal are known as whitening dentifrices. These dentifrices usually have enzymes in their composition that help to break down the organic components of biological film and remove stains and bacterial plaque. Another common dentifrice component is detergent, especially Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. It acts by lowering the surface tension of stain producing molecules, thus disrupting their potential to bind to enamel. Some whitening dentifrices also contain low peroxide concentrations, with the aim of releasing free oxygen radicals. These radicals are responsible for an oxidation reaction, which is the principle of the bleaching technique used for extrinsic and intrinsic stain removal. 3, 8, 10, 11, 12 Professional tooth cleaning Some extrinsic stains may be removed with ultrasonic cleaning, rotary polishing with an abrasive prophylactic paste, or air-jet polishing with an abrasive powder. However, these modalities can lead to enamel removal; therefore, their repeated use is undesirable.6, 7

Ultrasonic and sonic scalers are referred to as power-driven scalers. The small, quick vibrations in combination with a water flow provide a whole new level of effectiveness in removal of deposits on the tooth surface. The benefits of ultrasonic scaling include increased efficiency of calculus removal and less need for hand scaling (fig.1). Microvibration crushes and removes calculus under cooling water. Sonic scalers are air-turbine units that operate at low frequencies ranging between 3000 and 8000 cycles per sec (cps).7, 13 Prophylactic paste Prophylactic pastes contain abrasive, water, humectants, binder, sweetener, flavoring and coloring agents. Prophylaxis polishing agents are available in two basic forms: dry powders, also referred to as flours that must be mixed with a liquid (fig.2) (water, fluoride, or mouth rinse) and commercially prepared polishing pastes that are available in bulk or individual unit doses.10 Therefore, the use of dry abrasives or powder on a dry polishing cup is contraindicated due to the potential for thermal injury to natural teeth.7, 10 However, it is general knowledge that pumice and glycerin are the most commonly used ingredients in commercially prepared polishing pastes.7, 10 Fig 2

Microabrasion Microabrasion involves the removal of a small amount of surface enamel and classically incorporates both “abrasion” with dental instruments and “erosion” with an acid mixture.4 Microabrasion is indicated for fluorosis, postorthodontic demineralization (white spot), localized hypoplasia due to infection or trauma and idiopathic hypoplasia where the discoloration is limited to the outer layer.4, 14, 15

18 Restorative Dentistry Non-vital bleaching Non-vital bleaching is indicated for non vital, endodontically treated teeth which have become discolored due to the deposition of blood degradation products in the dentinal tubules.

Most techniques utilize hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate.4 Vital bleaching Vital bleaching involves the external application of hydrogen peroxide to the surface of the tooth followed by its activation with a heat source.

An alternative source of hydrogen peroxide is sodium per carbonate and this has been used in a silicone polymer containing product that is painted onto the teeth forming a durable film for overnight bleaching procedures 16, 17. It is indicated for mild tetracycline staining without obvious banding, mild fluorosis and single teeth with scleroses pulp chambers and root canals.4, 18 Composite resin restorations Teeth discolored by dental caries or dental materials require the removal of the caries or restorative materials, followed by proper restoration of the tooth. Partial or full-coverage dental restorations may be used to treat generalized intrinsic tooth discoloration in which bleaching is not indicated or in which the esthetic results of bleaching fail to meet the patient’s expectations.2 Composite resin restorations are indicated in cases of hypoplasia caused by moderate to severe fluorosis, localized hypoplasia not responsive to micro abrasion, tetracycline staining, and discoloration due to loss of vitality not responsive to non vital bleaching, amelogenesis and dentinogenesis imperfect and idiopathic hypoplasia.4, 19 Porcelain laminate veneers They are indicated for hypoplastic and discolored teeth in patients aged 16 years and over, when techniques such as microabrasion, non vital bleaching and composite resins have failed to produce a satisfactory clinical results.4 Tetracycline/minocycline-induced discoloration cannot be removed. The staining of the permanent teeth creates an esthetic and psychological concern for which patients may look for advice and treatment to improve their appearance.18 Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number I, 2016

Treatment may include vital or non vital teeth bleaching, which will lighten the discoloration but will leave a translucent appearance. As tetracycline staining is intrinsic, the bleaching technique is most often partially successful. Other options include placing composite resins or porcelain laminate veneers or full-coverage porcelain crowns to physically cover the teeth.18 Dental extractions may be required for severely carious teeth that are non restorable (fig.3) or for teeth with large periodontal defects that are refractory to periodontal rehabilitation. Previously endodontically treated teeth that develop further dentoalveolar infections require intracanal endodontic retreatments, endodontic surgery of the tooth apex, or extraction20 severely involved teeth with amelogenesis imperfect or dentinogenesis imperfect also may require extraction.20

The permanent maxillary second molar: Canal number and configurations in a Tunisian population Dr. Soumaya Touzi 1 touzi.soumaya@gmail.com

Dr. Rim Kallala 1

Dr. Faten Khanfir 2

Dr. Mohamed Romdhane 1

Dr. Khalfi Mohamed Salah 2

In this study, we used 98 maxillary second molars that have been extracted mainly for periodontal reasons. The teeth were stored in a sodium hypochlorite solution diluted to 5% during 3 days and then washed in running water and dried.

Each tooth is macroscopically examined to determine the number of roots and grinded progressively at the root surface to highlight the path of the root canals.

Canal number and configurations are observed and analyzed using sections: -Mesio buccal and disto buccal root: bucco-lingual sections -Palatal root: mesio-distal sections.

Introduction One of the major causes of failure in endodontic treatment is the impossibility of locating and treating the entire root canal system, a result of the lack of knowledge regarding the dental, internal or external anatomy. 1 Maxillary molars are the teeth that contain the greatest number of roots, with diverse shapes and formations, which is why their internal canal system is so variable. 2 Any existing root canals that remain undetected by the operator during the entire course of endodontic treatment are a major threat to the failure of treatment. 3 The aim of the current research was to describe the variations in the root canal anatomy of maxillary first molar in a tunisian population using sectioning.

Discussion: Number of roots In the present study, 93 % of maxillary first molars were 3 rooted. Our results are similar to the findings of Libfeld 4 (90.6%), Neelakantan 5 (93.1%) and Sert 6 (91.27%).

We found 5.8% 2 rooted second maxillary molars. For consulted studies, the percentage was from 0% 5 to 21.86%. 7 We found 1.1% one rooted molars which is close to the majority of studies. 7,4,8,6 Gu Y 7 found larger percentage (14.11%).

We didn’t found 4 rooted second maxillary molars which is similar to the study of Neelakantan.5 Other studies found percentages that do not exceed 1.4% 8 (table 4).

26 Endodontics - Canals configurations: Our study showed that 97.5 % have type I configuration and 2.5 % have type II configuration.

We have not found the types III, IV and V. There is great variability in the results of literature; the percentage of type I varied from 34%14 to 86,9% 18; type II from 1, 8% 18 to 34% 14 and type III from 0% 14 to 15.6%. 19 For type IV, the results are divergent and span from 0% 19 to 40%. 20 Type V presents 0% for most studies 18, 19, 22, 14, 21 (table 6).

Internal morphology • Mesio buccal root - Number of canals: We found in our study that 97.5 % of cases have a single canal and 2.4 % have 2 canals.

The frequencies of 2 canals varied from 19.7% according to Al-Fouzan 9 to 93.7% according to Kulild 10; these results are not consistent with ours. These differences may be due to the variety of the used techniques.

This root can have more than two canals according to Ozcan et al. 11 who reported a case of a maxillary second molar with 3 canals in the mesio buccal root and Caliskan et al. 12 who showed that 16% of second maxillary molars had 3 canals in this root (Table 5).

The differences in results may be explained by differences in the number of samples or by heterogeneous populations.

Orthodontic management of an impacted mandibular canine in a 14 years old Kuwaiti girl.

Key words Impacted canines, Orthodontic treatment, Surgical exposure.

Introduction An impacted tooth can be defined as a tooth with a delayed in eruption time or that are not expected to erupt completely based on clinical and radiographic assessment. 1 An impacted tooth in children is a major problem with potentially damaging sequelae such as, damage to the adjacent teeth and cystic formation. The prevalence of impacted maxillary canine is reported to be 1.5% 2, however, the prevalence of impaction of the mandibular canine is much lower. 3,4 In one particular study, the incidence of mandibular canine impaction was shown to be 1.29% in 5022 individuals of a Turkish population sample. 5 Clinicians should suspect impaction if the canine is not palpable in the buccal sulcus by the age of 10–11 years, hence a full clinical examination and radiographic assessment are essential in order to locate the canines. 6 There are many etiological factors that can lead to the failure of eruption such as the presence of a supernumerary tooth that prevents the successful eruption of the canine. Early diagnosis of such problem will make the treatment simpler and in some cases shortens the treatment duration. The aim of this report is to illustrate a conventional orthodontic treatment of an impacted mandibular canine which was diagnosed late.

the intra-oral examination, it was found that, her oral hygiene was fair and required improvement prior to the initiation of orthodontic treatment (Fig 2). Furthermore, there was mild crowding in the mandibular arch and well aligned maxillary arch.

The overjet was increased with an average overbite and a mild central line discrepancy. The buccal segments were Class 1.

THE WAIT IS OVER

CS 8100 3D 3D imaging is now available for everyone Many have waited for a redefined 2D/3D multifunctional system that was more relevant to their everyday work, that was plug-and-play and that was a strong yet affordable investment for their practice. With the CS 8100 3D, that wait is over.

All permanent dentition were present except for the lower right manbibular canine and the third molars. Further investigations revealed that the tooth was lingually displaced with no presence of any supernumerary or any other obstruction preventing its eruption (Figure 3). The treatment plan was to initiate a fixed orthodontic appliance therapy to create more space for the mandibular canine then carry on a surgical exposure procedure to uncover the tooth and enable its traction through the orthodontic appliance using an 0.22 inch slot, MBT prescription. Treatment started with leveling and alignment through 0.14 and 0.18 inch Nickel Titanium wires.

Furthermore, the treatment continued through 0.19x0.25 NiTi and Stainless Steel archwires to achieve the treatment objectives (Figure 4). A retention regime was also planned which included a fixed retainer in the lower arch to minimize the risk of relapse of the impacted canine after alignment plus an upper and lower removable retainers.

38 Orthodontics Discussion Although the impaction of a mandibular canines is not frequently occurring episode compared to maxillary canines, those individuals with this problem may suffer potentially harmful effects if left untreated. The impacted maxillary canine is extensively discussed and mentioned in the dental literature unlike the mandibular canine.

The key factor here is 7 the early diagnosis, because that will allow some simpler measures such as the removal of the deciduous tooth at the appropriate time. This would enable the permanent canine to follow its course and erupt normally. However, as children grow older (i.e. beyond the age of 12-13 years), the use of this simple “interceptive� measure is no longer feasible and more comprehensive treatment should be considered. 1 The treatment options then are categorically divided into two: 1) either to attempt to orthodontically align the tooth with or without surgical intervention, or 2) extraction of the tooth and replace it with a dental implant.

The definitive treatment plan can be decided on several factors such as the age of the treatment 5, the age of the patient, the more likely orthodontic treatment will work and vice versa.

Another factor is the position of the impacted tooth.4 If the tooth, as in this case report, was not far away from its original place, it is considered favorable to surgically expose it and align it orthodontically.8 This is decided after a careful clinical and radiographic examination. Another extremely useful tool that can be used is the use of a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan 9 , however, this was not available to the author at the start of treatment. It can be stated that, if the tooth was positioned deep in the bone and the surgical removal of it bears many risks, as an alternative, the tooth can be left in situ providing regular monitoring of the tooth, in order to detect any changes that may occur.

Another treatment option is to auto-transplant the tooth (i.e. to extract it surgically and reimplant it in its place), nonetheless, that approach has very poor prognosis and very rarely considered as an option. 10,11 It must emphasized that for each treatment option, there are advantages and disadvantages. For instance, if orthodontic

Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number I, 2016

treatment with surgical exposure plan was chosen, treatment duration may be long as opposed to the extraction and the implant option which takes shorter treatment duration to accomplish.

However, the main advantage with the orthodontic treatment approach is that a prosthesis is not required and an ideal occlusion can be achieved (Figure 5).

Figure 5. Post-treatment Intra-oral photographs.

Conclusion Impacted maxillary canines are more common than mandibular canines. The treatment plan for such teeth will be based on several factors such as the age of the patient and the position of the tooth. Treatment options includes orthodontic treatment to align the tooth or removal of the tooth and replace it with a dental implant. This girl was treated successfully via surgical exposure and orthodontic alignment because the position of the impacted canine was favorable.

It is with great pleasure to welcome you to the 16th King Saud University International Dental Conference and the 27th for the Saudi Dental Society.

The theme for this year’s conference is “Regenerative Dentistry”, which is based on the natural ability of body cells and tissues to restore themselves under certain conditions.

Owing to advances in modern science, we now know more about the mechanisms behind every tissue in the body to self-repair. Those mechanisms are being investigated further as we learn that living cell regeneration is dependent on many factors such as genetics, hormones and environmental influences.

The conference also allows for diversity of research covering other fields of Dentistry through oral presentations Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number I, 2016

and posters and it also offers full state exhibits which show the current trend in dental materials, instruments and equipment.

To all speakers, participants and exhibitors, my very best wishes for a successful meeting. I hope that you will enjoy the conference and that your interaction with your colleagues will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas and will be personally rewarding.

Aesthetic restorations from GC: More creativity, less complexity GC is always striving to develop smart solutions for dentists’ daily challenges – which sometimes implies going against traditional concepts. In this respect, GC reveals a daring new approach to aesthetic dental restorations: Essentia.

Essentia is developed together with a group of experts in aesthetics, does no longer rely on the traditional Vita® colours but on a very simple assortment of seven shades, created to mimic natural teeth at any patient’s age and offering dentists the maximum of creative freedom.

By combining enamel and dentins, four main combinations following the patient’s age (Young, Junior, Adult & Senior) will make the shade selection become easier and will be sufficient to form the basis of any restoration – at any age.

On the other hand, knowing that the bonding is equally important, we accepted no compromises when developing our new universal bonding system.

G-Premio BOND is a one-bottle universal bonding compatible with all etching modes and which can be used not only for direct restorations, but also for repair cases & hypersensitivity treatment.

Its unique formula combining three functional monomers (4MET, MDP and MDTP) ensures excellent stability and bond strength not just to tooth tissue but to all indirect substrates, including composites, precious and non-precious metals, zirconia and alumina for all repair cases. website: www.gceurope.com

Improved plaque index and shallower pockets Intensive oral care with Cervitec Gel improves the clinical treatment results of peri-implant mucositis.

Personal oral health care plays an important part in the long-term maintenance of implant-retained restorations. These measures are of particular importance in situations where mucositis has already developed, in other words, if the peri-implant soft tissue is inflamed. A successful treatment strategy for this type of case has been devised in the course of a clinical study conducted in Sweden.

Reduction in the bleeding on probing The additional use of the oral care gel had a statistically significant effect on the reduction of the bleeding on probing (BOP) compared with the placebo gel. Moreover, the local plaque index in the test group improved and the periodontal pocket depth decreased.

High level of compliance Throughout the study period, no staining of the teeth or disgeusia was observed or reported. The participants showed a high level of compliance for using the mild-tasting gel.
