Think globally – act locally

Dear Readers,
A very positive effect of the globalized information streams is that everybody willing to know what is going on can be very well informed. If you stick to facts rather than believe opinions, an analytic mind can infer from the information available that local actions usually have global effects. The global distribution of pollutants is quite easy to understand, since the weather is quite a global system. I remember two clear examples […]

Why I love Orthodontics

Dear Readers,
Many of my friends who are dentists believe that Orthodontics is boring and repetitive. I have thought a lot about this general idea that dentists have towards my specialty, and I cannot totally blame them. Generally speaking, I have to admit that, if I had to perform orthodontics “by the book,” my specialty would probably be more than boring to me. Taking impressions, categorizing the occlusion and growth pattern and applying a fixed appliance involves waiting months […]

Our uninterrupted joint effort on the path of certification

Dear Readers,
I would like to believe that you have already started enjoying your summer vacation. Given the fact that you are now trying to feel comfortable, to find as much time as possible to relax, I want to briefly share with you the current situation of the Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J), the journal you have shown your interest for since 2014. The Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J), an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal, has been published continuously since 2014, initially bi-annually […]

Laudatio to the ,,Iron Lady of Orthodontics” Professor Birthe Melsen

Birthe Melsen, one of the most recognized and respected Orthodontists, was born in Aabenraa, Denmark in 1939. She received her Dental Degree in 1964 from Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark.
Melsen began her ascending road with obtaining the orthodontics specialty in the year of 1971 and received her orthodontic certificate in 1974 from Royal Dental College.
Her complex academic activity was accomplished with abnegation and dedication, over the course of decades dedicated to study and scientific creation. She has been a full professor since […]

In vitro wear of ten universal composites
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(2).art.1
Since their invention in the 1950s, composites have been continuously  improved, however without abandoning their basic concepts. Over the years it became very obvious that the fillers used had the greatest influence on their physical and mechanical properties. The fillers determine the mechanical properties, they reduce the polymerization shrinkage, the filler selection may optimize wear behavior, they influence the optical properties (translucency) and may enhance the radiopacity […]

Susceptibility of RBC to various clinical relevant curing conditions
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(2).art.2
Incremental layering technique is accepted as a golden standard for the placement of regular resin-based composite (RBC) restorations [1]. The increments are limited to a thickness of 2 mm to allow for an adequate polymerization in a clinically reasonable time. In spite of decades of expert knowledge in light curing, the amount of light needed to cure adequately a regular 2-mm thick RBC increment is still debatable […]

Effects of etching mode on bond strength of universal adhesives
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(2).art.3
Bonding to enamel and dentin is mainly accomplished by micromechanical interlocking between synthetic, naturally degradable polymers, and enamel or dentin collagen fibrils [1]. Effective, long-lasting bonding to dentin has been a challenge to dental clinicians, because in order to promote adhesion to dentin, the mineral phase needs to be totally or partially removed, and substituted by […]

Effect of platelet-rich plasma on chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis: a pilot study
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(2).art.4
CMOS is an inflammation of the maxillary sinus caused by dental infection. Patients with chronic periodontitis have an increased risk of developing maxillary sinusitis caused by intra-antral foreign bodies or by oroantral fistulas after tooth extraction [1,2]. According to the literature in the field, the incidence of this disease in the adult population is 10-12%, but according to the latest studies, the incidence increased to […]

  • ORAL SURGERY

Root tip migration into the infundibulum of the maxillary sinus after complicated first molar extraction
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(2).art.5
Extraction of maxillary molars with multiple and separated roots carries a risk of root fracture. Moreover, fractured roots can be displaced into the maxillary sinus, potentially causing oroantral fistula, sinusitis, cellulitis, and subdural empyema [1]. Root displacement into the maxillary sinus can be detected by imaging, which also provides information regarding the root size and location within the sinus […]

Large odontogenic keratocyst of the mandible: A combined intra/extra oral approach followed by enucleation
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2019.6(2).art.6
Odontogenic keratocysts (OKC’s) of the mandible have been of interest since first presented by Philipsen in 1956 [1,17]. OKC’s are considered to be benign intraosseous lesions of odontogenic origin. Evidence suggests that OKC’s are to be found posterior to the third molars if offshoots of dental lamina remnants are involved. OKC’s occupying the ascending ramus, often present with epithelial island in the mucosa overlying the cyst […]

Improving the realization of individualized prostheses by optical measurement of mandibular kinematics
To improve the dental prostheses of their patients, more and more practitioners make individualized prostheses by measuring mandibular kinematics. At the IDS 2019 I had the opportunity to examine several devices which measure mandibular kinematics. Out of all these, I have chosen to present to you the new measurement […]
