Opis:
Introduction. General anaesthesia can reduce child stress associated with occasionally very unpleasant dental treatment. However, general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation is commonly used with dental procedures despite the fact that endotracheal tubes obstruct good access to molars, especially in very small children. In this article we would like to contribute to changes in anaesthetic methods to those less harsh for patients. Materials and method. At our dental practice, located at a rural area, total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol infusion, without endotracheal intubation, has been used for more than 10 years as standard procedure for the dental treatment of children. Retrospective analysis of medical records of 614 children was performed, including search for perioperative critical incidents. Results. There were two adverse events. In the first, a boy (age 10.5 years with a history of tricuspid valve regurgitation) developed severe bradycardia, with no conjunction with any desaturation. Atropine was given and heart rhythm returned to normal values. The second incident occurred during the recovery of a 4-year-old girl who developed laryngospasm after the procedure, and the decision to use rescue intubation was made. The child recovered and was extubated shortly afterwards without any further problems. These two cases account for the total perioperative critical incident rate of 0.33% (95% confidence interval ~0 to 1.3%). Conclusions. General anaesthesia without endotracheal intubation has been safe for paediatric dental treatment at our practice. Patients should be guided to follow strict fasting rules, and a throat pack and efficient suction are essential. The anaesthesiologist should be present during the intraoperative period until the child is safely discharged.

Objective: The aims of this systematic review of the literature were to investigate the uses of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in pediatric dentistry and, if possible, identify the indications. Material and methods: A literature search was conducted using the PubMed and Scopus electronic databases and the keywords "CBCT and pediatric dentistry". This search provided us with 1518 references. The selected publications were all clinical articles written in French or English and referring to a pediatric population. After screening, 461 eligible full text articles remained. Results: In total, there were 169 references that met the inclusion criteria. Different topics, mainly relating to orthodontics, anatomy, and cleft lips and palate, were discussed. There was large variability in the information concerning the technical parameters. The radiographic protocols that we analyzed showed a large heterogeneity. Conclusions: The level of evidence provided by our work is limited because only two randomized double-blind controlled studies are included. Two indications can be distinguished: for orthodontics and for the rehabilitation of cleft lips and palate. There are a multitude of radiographic protocols. More research is needed to identify other potential clinical indications as well as to determine a standard CBCT protocol for children and adolescents.

Opis:
Since one of the main mode of the COVID-19 transmission is through close contact with the infected person (<1.5 m distance) and body fluids (saliva, blood, aerosol particles), the dentists have become one of the groups being at most risk of being infected. The aim of this article is to present, based on the research search (publications from the last year 2020 and from the beginning of the current year 2021), the general overview of the situation during the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to patients and dentist as well as supporting personal protection. Authors identified 7 questions related to this topic. They address among others such issues as identification of the COVID-19 patients coming to the dental practice; protection of both the dentist and the patient from infection and a need for guidelines on the scope of emergency dental services during the pandemic. Opinions on the subject, expressed by the experts in the field, including general guidelines were also taken into consideration. In general, based on the literature overview, the COVID-19 pandemic has completely transformed the healthcare system, including dentistry. The identification of the COVID-19 patients coming to the dental practice has become a necessity (including taking epidemiological survey, temperature measurement). Currently, since “the group zero” in significant part has completed the full vaccination process, the health personnel (including dentists) might feel safer. The efficacy of the vaccines is high and provides a certain sense of security.

Opis:
Najpopularniejsze w stomatologii nanocząstki, takie jak nanosrebro, nanozłoto, nanokrzemionka czy nanohydroksyapatyt znalazły zastosowanie między innymi w materiałach kompozytowych, masach wyciskowych, systemach wiążących, preparatach przeciwpróchniczych, a także w pastach do zębów. Produkty ulepszone dzięki nanocząsteczkom wykorzystywane są w niemal każdym gabinecie stomatologicznym, a dentyści chwalą różnorodne właściwości tych preparatów, takie jak: lepsze wyniki pracy, łatwa polerowalność, lepsze dopasowanie koloru, a także długotrwały efekt. Nanotechnologia w stomatologii w przyszłości będzie się rozwijała w takich obszarach jak implantologia, diagnostyka i leczenie raka jamy ustnej oraz nanoroboty dentystyczne. Stosowanie nanopreparatów w praktyce dentystycznej jest znacznie bardziej rozpowszechnione niż wskazuje polska literatura naukowa i popularno-naukowa oraz ogólna wiedza o nanotechnologii w społeczeństwie.
Nanoparticles, such as nanosilver, nanogold, nanosilica or nanohydroxyapatite hydroxyapatite can be applied in dentistry as components of composite materials, impression masses, binding systems, anticaries preparations, as well as toothpastes. Products enhanced with nanoparticles are used in almost every dental office. Dentists appreciate several properties of these preparations, such as improved performance, easy polishing, better color matching and long-lasting effect. Considering the direction of the development of nanotechnology in dentistry in the future, these are areas such as implantology, diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer and dental nanorobots. The use of nano-preparations in dental practice is much more widespread than one would expect on the basis of Polish literature and popular science and general knowledge about nanotechnology in society.

Zagadnienie dbałości o zdrowie jamy ustnej niewątpliwie nie należało do najważniejszych programów medycznych w czasie pierwszej wojny światowej. Niewiele zachowało się na ten temat informacji nawet w materiałach archiwalnych. Służba zdrowia w Łodzi była dużo bardziej nastawiona np. na walkę z chorobami zakaźnymi, dlatego niewielu ludzi miało dostęp do dentystów. Gabinety odwiedzały prawie wyłącznie osoby zamożne.
The issue of care for oral health was undoubtedly not the most important medical agendas during World War I. There is not much information on this subject preserved even from archival materials. The health service in Łódź was much more focused, for example, on the fight against infectious diseases, which is why few people had access to dentists. The dental offices were visited almost exclusively by wealthy people.

Modern medicine used many methods of treatment; one of them is phytotherapy. It is documented that plants can not only prevent many diseases, but also cure diseases. Main activities of plant materials used in dentistry are anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, decongestant, adtringent, anti-bleeding and regenerating. The natural materials used in dentistry are mainly in the form of lotions, tinctures, infusions, toothpaste, drops and gels. The most important group of active compounds in dental formulations of natural origin include essential oils, monoterpenoides, phenolic compounds, gums, resins, tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins, carotenoids, chlorophyll, vitamins, elements such as especially zinc and minerals such as AlK(SO4)2. It occurs naturally and is used for control of bleeding, and as an antiseptic. The ideal antimicrobial agent should be effective in removing bacteria responsible for the periodontal disease process; to have the widest possible range of action, does not cause side effects and have a prolonged activity in the oral cavity. Accordingly natural products particularly as essential oils and phenol compounds can, fulfill these tasks.

Opis:
In December 2019, a new disease, similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), was reported in Wuhan, China. It was quickly indicated that the causative agent of this new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a previously unknown coronavirus, now called SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The result of the global outbreak of COVID-19 in the world (currently COVID-19 is present on all continents, except Antarctica) is the pandemic status 2019–2020, as declared by the WHO and Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).The virus has a high epidemic potential and is effectively transmitted between humans. The primary route for SARS-CoV-2 infection to spread is air-droplet transmission. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person, or indirectly via coronavirus-contaminated materials or objects. Current data also indicate the possibility of an alternative route of SARS-CoV-2 infection – through the gastrointestinal tract. The article discusses various SARS-CoV-2 transmission options, with particular attention paid to the role of saliva and gastrointestinal tract in the spreading of the virus. Current data on SARS-CoV-2 pathogenicity and clinical symptoms of COVID-19 are also analyzed. Expanding knowledge about SARS-CoV-2 infection, especially in terms of its spread, will contribute to further actions aimed at preventing transmission of this pathogen.

Opis:
The ageing of society is a global process which is gaining strength. The quality of ageing is an essential parameter of this process. It has been predicted that the percentage of elderly individuals will double during the period 2015-2050. The aim of the present paper was to analyse the literature on discriminatory behaviour due to age, or so-called ageism, with particular emphasis on behaviour within the area of healthcare, including that of dentists. Ageism may constitute an important factor in the health and well-being of elderly people, one which should be considered in the design of strategies to support healthier and happier ageing. A survey of the Polish population showed that 26% of participants aged 65 and over considered that their peers are being discriminated against, whereas 8% had personally witnessed discrimination. It has been emphasised that aversion to the elderly and discrimination against them in medical facilities is observed more frequently in situations involving time pressure and shortage of medical personnel. More and more frequently, elderly people retain their natural teeth; accordingly, there is a growing demand for trained dentists to provide comprehensive care for elderly patients. Nevertheless, it has been indicated that mere improvement of levels of knowledge about the ageing process does not change attitudes towards elderly patients. Following analysis of the relevant literature, it should be noted that the volume of research on ageism conducted outside the US is negligible. Research related to this subject in the field of dentistry is most often limited to students’ attitudes. The current COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted inappropriate behaviours characterised by ageism.
Starzenie się społeczeństwa jest procesem globalnym i przybierającym na sile, a jakość starzenia się jest istotnym parametrem tego procesu. Prognozuje się, że w latach 2015-2050 dojdzie do podwojenia odsetka ludzi w wieku starszym. Celem pracy była analiza piśmiennictwa dotycząca zachowań dyskryminacyjnych ze względu na wiek tzw. ageizm, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem zachowań w obrębie ochrony zdrowia, w tym również lekarzy dentystów. Ageizm może być ważnym czynnikiem wpływającym na zdrowie i samopoczucie osób starszych, co powinno być brane pod uwagę przy opracowywaniu strategii wspierania zdrowszego i szczęśliwszego starzenia się. W badaniu ankietowym populacji Polskiej wykazano, że 26% uczestników powyżej 65. roku życia uważa grupę swoich rówieśników za dyskryminowaną, a 8% było świadkami dyskryminacji. Podkreśla się, że niechęć do ludzi starszych i ich dyskryminacja w placówkach medycznych jest częściej obserwowana w sytuacjach presji czasowej i niedoboru personelu medycznego. Starsi ludzie coraz częściej zachowują naturalne uzębienie, w związku z tym rośnie zapotrzebowanie na przeszkolonych lekarzy zajmujących się kompleksową opieką nad pacjentami w starszym wieku. Pomimo to wskazuje się, że sama poprawa wiedzy na temat procesu starzenia nie zmienia postawy wobec pacjentów seniorów. Po analizie piśmiennictwa należy zauważyć znikomą ilość badań poświęconych tematyce ageizmu prowadzonych poza USA. Badania prowadzone w dziedzinie stomatologii odnoszące się do tej tematyki najczęściej ograniczane są do badania postaw studentów. Obecny czas pandemii COVID-19 uwypuklił nieprawidłowe zachowania obarczone ageizmem.

Opis:
Many-year studies on aerosols as an infection vector, despite their wide range, ignored dental aerosol. All procedures performed with the use of dental unit handpieces cause the formation of aerosol and splatter which are commonly contaminated with bacteria, viruses, fungi, often also with blood. Aerosols are liquid and solid particles, 50 μm or less in diameter, suspended in air. Splatter is usually described as a mixture of air, water and/or solid substances; water droplets in splatter are from 50 μm to several millimetres in diameter and are visible to the naked eye. The most intensive aerosol and splatter emission occurs during the work of an ultrasonic scaler tip and a bur on a high-speed handpiece. Air-water aerosol produced during dental treatment procedures emerges from a patient’s mouth and mixes with the surrounding air, thus infl uencing its composition. Because air contained in this space is the air breathed by both dentist and patient, its composition is extremely important as a potential threat to the dentist’s health. According to the author, insuffi cient awareness of health risk, working habits, and economic factors are the reasons why dentists do not apply the available and recommended methods of protection against the infl uence of bioaerosol and splatter. Behaviour protecting a dentist and an assistant from the threat resulting from the infl uence of dental aerosol cannot be limited to solated actions. The author, on the basis of the literature and own research, characterizes bioaerosol and splatter in a dental surgery and reviews a full range of protective measures against these risk factors.

Opis:
In order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, in the early stages of the pandemic outbreak, postponing elective procedures was recommended all around the world. Outpatient care and dental care were limited to telephone advice and emergency services. Dental staff is particularly vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 contraction, because of the inevitable contact with patients’ body fluids during aerosol-generating procedures. The implementation of diagnostic tests among ambulatory patients could improve the occupational safety among outpatient care personnel. The aim of this review was to introduce information regarding COVID-19 diagnostics with a particular focus on the methods which can be utilized in an outpatient and dental care setting. An online PubMed database review of articles on COVID-19 diagnostics, published on February 12–May 15, 2020, was conducted. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction is the gold standard in COVID-19 diagnostics, which determines if a person has an active infection. Unfortunately, its utilization in outpatient care is limited. Serological enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays identify people who were infected, including those who have had an asymptomatic infection, but they do not give sufficient information about the acute infection. Rapid serological assays developed to facilitate testing outside of laboratories, especially in dental offices, are not recommended by the World Health Organization to be used outside research settings, and they should not constitute the basis for clinical decision-making because of frequent false-negative results which may consequently contribute to personnel infections. Out of all available COVID-19 diagnostic methods, rapid serological assays seemed to be a method of choice in outpatient medical care. Unfortunately, their results turned out to be unreliable. The best methods to ensure the occupational safety of medical staff and to avoid cross-infections in outpatient care facilities include a thorough epidemiological interview, temperature measurement to rule out patients with an active infection, and the implementation of strict infection control procedures.
