Aim: Emergency department (ED) visits for dental problems not associated with trauma (DPNAT) represent inappropriate utilization of health care resources increasing the economic burden on the health care system and affecting the quality of care delivered. The objective of this report is to describe the frequency of ED visits for DPNAT in Alberta, Canada. Methods: ED visits for DPNAT (January 2011-April 2016) were identified using the codes from the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10-CA). The data were gathered from the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) database and from the Alberta Real Time Syndromic Surveillance Net (ARTSSN). The information gathered was related to the primary diagnosis of the discharge disposition of the visits. Results: A total of 147,357 ED visits for DPNAT in Alberta. The visits were made by 111,362 individuals representing 1.3 visits per person. The most prevalent primary diagnosis of ED visits for DPNAT was for diseases of pulp and periapical tissues (K04), such as periapical abscess, 45.0% of the visits, followed by disorders of teeth and supporting structures (K08), such as toothache (18.8%). The majority of the visits were made by patients from 20 to 44 years old (52.2%). ED visits for dental problems were more common than other general health conditions such as diabetes and asthma. Conclusion: The frequency of ED visits for DPNAT suggests barriers faced by the population in accessing dental care resources especially for urgent dental issues. Policy efforts and political will are needed to provide alternative options for seeking emergency dental care.

Aim: Cavity preparation is one of daily dental practitioners’ involvements; hence, clinicians should be confident for their preparations and achieve an appropriate designed cavity for planed restorations. This research was done to assess the strength of cavity preparations and avoid iatrogenic damages. Methods: In 2015, six full-day “lectures – hands on” CPD courses delivered by eWisdom (London Deanery) at Barts and Dental Institute, at Queen Mary University were dedicated for this study. 206 cavity preparations were observed and analyzed to work out the most common existing issues and was tried to find appropriate solutions. 12 practitioners attended each course with a minimum two cavity preparations by each individual, which was analyzed and discussed accordingly. The main problem was detected on opening the contact area for the posterior teeth both for direct and indirect visions. Another main noticed issue was the differences in preparation accuracy between buccal and lingual/palatal side related to the sizes and axial wall angles. In this study, number of factors such as: postures, visions and burs were determined to observe the deviations in achieved outcomes. Results: The study demonstrated the impact of the “lectures – hands on” CPD courses on outcomes. In addition, it illustrated that practitioner, who have difficulties in cavity preparations, can be divided in three groups: one group - not aware about their weaknesses, the second group - know about the issues yet they know the reason, and the third group - aware of the issues and they just need some appropriate more practice preferably under supervision. More interestingly, it was experiential that after finding the reasons of making mistakes, most of practitioners adjusted their work dramatically which approved the impact of this type of course. Conclusion: Dental laboratories are one of the best places to help practitioners to improve their weakness; furthermore, it will help educational systems to understand the clinicians’ need.

The oral rehabilitation treatment aims to return esthetics, function, comfort, phonetics and health to the patient. Oral treatment requires careful planning, according to the biological and mechanical principles that rule contemporary dentistry. Complex clinical cases of oral rehabilitation require interdisciplinary treatment with the need for orthodontic treatment, endodontics, implants and prosthetics. This work describes multidisciplinary clinical cases of oral rehabilitation involving orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, surgery, implant insertion and aesthetic restorative dentistry, with an implant-supported prosthesis approach. Therefore, it is crucial to gather the greatest quantity of data to determine the role that every single element can play in the prosthetic rehabilitation of the clinical case. Dental implants have been established as long-term supports for tooth replacements, and they have profoundly altered treatment concepts of traditional prosthodontics. The purpose of this lecture is to appraise tooth preservation in a different manner while considering implants as additional and even preferred support mechanisms for dental prostheses. Dental health situation can be associated with negative child and family experiences and lower oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) across all social groups; yet, families facing greater disadvantage may report lesser quality-of-life impact at the same level of disease experience. Thus, subjective quality-of-life measures may differ under varying social contexts, with possible implications for service utilization, evaluating oral health interventions, or quantifying disease morbidity in low socioeconomic status groups. This has implications in the support for partial or complete removable prostheses and the placement of dental implants.

Francesco Chiappelli, Ph.D.; AAAS Fellow; Fulbright Alumnus, is a Professor in the Section of Oral Biology in the Division of Oral Biology and Medicine.

Professor Chiappelli’s research interest for the last three decades has been mind-body interaction, and specifically the role of the psychoneuroendocrine system in regulating cellular immune surveillance. As a system biologist, he has focused on the role of stress on the responses of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, for example, and its modulatory effects on T cell activation, proliferation, regulation and function. His fundamental hypothesis is that external stressors, such as pain, alcohol, nicotine or drugs of abuse, as well as perceived stress and anxiety put a serious load on the CD4+ T cells of the immune system, and prevent them from functioning well in the defense against infection and cancer. Case in point, in the context of dental research, he has examined the role of mind-body interactions in “stress-related” oral ulcers, including canker sores (recurrent aphthous stomatis) and oral lichen planus. As the field of osteoimmunology emerged about 15 years ago, which establishes the intertwined relationships between cellular immune processes and bone metabolism (i.e., bone formation and bone resorption), Dr. Chiappelli launched a novel direction in his research interest that could be termed “osteo-psychoneuroendocrine-immunology”, which he described in his monograph “Osteoimmunopathology” (Springer, 2011). Stemming from his graduate training in research methodology and biostatistics, Professor Chiappelli became interested and involved in the novel field of evidence-based dentistry (EBD) even before the American Dental Association (ADA) formerly defined it in 1999. During the last fifteen years, Dr. Chiappelli has established himself as a national and an international recognized expert in the field. He was named ADA “Champion” for EBD, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) with a special mention “for his contribution to the establishment of the field of evidence-based dentistry”, and is a Fulbright Specialist and Scholar in the broad field of evidence-based health care, and EBD specifically. The focus of Professor Chiappelli’s research in EBD is the pursuit of excellence in the research methodology of this new science: how can we truly obtain the “best available” evidence, how can we obtain reliable assessments and analyses of it, how can we best disseminate this information to the stakeholders, and how can we best integrate the “best available” evidence in evidence-based clinical decision-making, thus fully empowering patients and caregivers and ensuring increased health literacy, access to care and effectiveness. The fundamental hypothesis of his work in that domain, that evidence-based dentistry is patient-centered, effectiveness-focused and research-directed (i.e., follows the hypothesis-driven scientific process), has been described and discussed in depth in his several books (three monographs, three edited books) on the topic: Chiappelli F. The Science of Research Synthesis: A Manual of Evidence-Based Research for the Health Sciences – Implications and Applications in Dentistry (NovaScience Publisher, 2008); Chiappelli F.
