- СтавкаAsthma and periodontal health in children(Ministry of Defance, Serbia, 2018) Davidović, Bojana; Ivanović, Mirjana; Bokonjić, Dejan; Janković, Svjetlana; Erić, Jelena; Lečić, JelenaBackground/Aim. Oral health is an important part of overall health. Good oral health is important for oral diseases prevention and health maintenance of respiratory system. The aim of the study was to evaluate oral hygiene and periodontal health parameters of asthmatic children and to compare them with children without asthma as well as to evaluate those parameters according to type of used medications and time of taking medications in children with asthma. Methods. This epidemiological study included 68 children with asthma and 68 children without asthma or any other chronic disease aged from 6 to 16 years. Parameters used in this study were Greene-Vermillion index, Löe-Silness gingival index and Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Results. Good oral hygiene (31.1%) was more present in children without asthma whereas poor hygiene (20.0%) was more frequent in children with asthma (p < 0.001). Healthy gingiva was more frequent in children without asthma (25%) while mild (58.8%) and moderate gingival inflammation (5.9%) were more frequent in the group of children with asthma (p < 0.01). Mean CPI values were higher in children with asthma (p < 0.001). Mean values of Plaque Index, Gingival Index and CPI did not show statistically significant difference in relation to type of administered medication. However, taking medications in the afternoon was related to higher mean values of Plaque Index and Gingival Index (p < 0.05) within the group of children with asthma. Conclusion. Children with asthma had poorer oral hygiene and were diagnosed with greater values of oral hygiene and periodontal indices compared with the group of children without asthma. For this reason, it is necessary to promote oral health and establish good oral hygiene habits in asthmatic children.
- СтавкаChanges in Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and Satisfaction with Conventional Complete Dentures Among Elderly People(Quintessenz Verlags-GmbH, Germany, 2017) Erić, Jelena; Tihaček Šojić, Ljiljana; Bjelović, Ljiljana; Tsakos, GeorgiosPurpose: To assess the changes in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and satisfaction among older adults after receiving new complete dentures, and the association of age, gender, education, medical history, past prosthetic history (number of previous complete dentures and time since current complete dentures) and quality of existing complete dentures with patients' ratings of satisfaction with their complete dentures. Materials and methods: The study comprised 114 community-dwelling adults ≥ 65 year of age, all wearing complete dentures in both jaws. The sample was selected from four senior day centres. Data were collected using clinical oral examinations and a self-administered questionnaire. Dentures were clinically evaluated for retention, stability, occlusion, articulation and vertical dimension. The questionnaire recorded data on sociodemographic information, previous denture history, oral satisfaction scale (OSS), and OHRQoL through the Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) scale. Results: There was a significant improvement in OHRQoL after treatment (mean OIDP score: 2.7) compared to before treatment (mean OIDP score: 6.6). The largest changes were in relation to impacts on eating (33.3% to 15.9%) and smiling (17.5% to 4.5%). Six months after placement of the dentures, patient satisfaction improved compared to before treatment (p < 0.001). The results of this study demonstrated that satisfaction was correlated with age, gender, and past prosthetic history in the patients rehabilitated with complete dentures. Conclusions: The provision of new dentures among older adults resulted in significantly better satisfaction and OHRQoL than wearing existing dentures. There was no significant correlation between the clinical assessment of the dentures and patients' satisfaction with them.
- СтавкаDoes bronchial asthma influence dental health of the diseased children?(Military Medical Academy, 2022) Davidović, Bojana; Ivanović, Mirjana; Bokonjić, Dejan; Janković, Svjetlana; Erić, Jelena; Lečić, Jelena; Jovičić, OliveraBackground/Aim. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disorder. The effect of asthma drugs on oral health is still the subject of debate among researchers in dentistry. The aim of this study was to evaluate dental status in asthmatic children and evaluate the possible effect of drugs treating asthma on dental health. Methods. Study participants were divided into two groups: the asthma (AG) and the non-asthma (NAG) group. Based on the symptoms of asthma and the possibility for effective con-trol of the disease, the AG group was divided into two subgroups. The oral examination of the teeth was per-formed using a probe and mouth mirror under artificial light in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Saliva analysis was carried out by the GC Saliva-Check Buffer, according to the manufac-turer's instructions. Results. The study included 136 children aged 6 to 16 years (10.5 ± 3.3). The mean of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) of the children in the AG group (6.0 ± 4.0/3.3 ± 4.4) was higher than in the NAG group (4.8 ± 4.4/2.5 ± 3.4), but significant differ-ences were not observed between the groups. Salivary pH values were found to be similar in both groups, but the quantity and buffering capacity of the stimulated saliva were found to be significantly lower in the AG group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion. Although the prevalence of dental caries in the AG group was simi-lar to that of the NAG group in this study, decreased quantity and buffering capacity of the stimulated saliva in the AG group may contribute to higher values of dental caries in asthmatic children in the future.

- СтавкаEvaluation of permeability of root dentin after different irrigation protocols(Serbian Medical Association, 2018) Bjelović, Ljiljana; Krunić, Jelena; Stojanović, Nikola; Erić, Jelena; Kanjevac, TatjanaIntroduction/Objective This study was aimed at evaluating dentin permeability after irrigation with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and final rinse with chlorhexidine (CHX), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) + CHX, and new combination products: QMiX or MTAD. Methods Roots of 60 maxillary incisors were randomly divided into five groups (n = 12) before instrumentation and irrigation with NaOCl according to the final irrigation regimen: CHX (2% CHX), EDTA + CHX (17% EDTA + 2% CHX), QMiX, MTAD, and control group (distilled water). After final irrigation, ten roots of each group were horizontally sectioned and dye penetration was evaluated in the coronal, middle, and apical thirds. Remaining samples were subjected to scanning electron microscopy. Data were analyzed with ANOVA/Tukey’s test. Results Less dye penetration was found in CHX group compared with control as well as with QMiX and MTAD group in all thirds (p < 0.05). A significant difference between the control and EDTA + CHX, QMiX or MTAD group was observed only in the apical root third (p < 0.05). Conclusion Dentin permeability was significantly reduced after final irrigation with CHX, but not after use of other final irrigation solutions, except in the apical third of the root canal.
- СтавкаStress and strain analyses of removable partial denture abutment tooth in relation to the position of the minor connector(Serbian Medical Association, 2017) Milić-Lemić, Aleksandra; Erić, Jelena; Radović, Katarina; Elenčevski, Sašo; Živković, Rade; Tihaček-Šojić, LjiljanaIntroduction/Objective For optimum loading distribution, the angle formed by the occlusal rest and the vertical minor connector from which it originates should be less than 90°. The objective of the article was to visualize the optimum angle between the occlusal rest and the minor connector in terms of intensity and distribution of occlusal loads using finite element analysis. It was the intention, concerning biomechanical behavior, to document that the optimum angle between the occlusal rest and the minor connector should be less than 90°. Methods Three different virtual models of partial edentulous Kennedy III class were created using the CATIA design computer program with different angles between the occlusal rest and the minor connector. Stress distribution after simulated occlusal loading was analyzed using the finite element method. Results Comparing the results obtained for three models, the highest stress values were seen in model 3 (the angle between the occlusal rest and the small connector is greater than 90°) whether the load is applied in the middle or at the end of the saddle. Conclusion Within limitations and on the basis of the study results, the minimum compressive stress was seen in model 1, where the angle between the occlusal rest and the minor connector was less than 90° whether the load is applied in the middle or at the end of the saddle. It is recommended that obtuse angle between the rest and the minor connector should be avoided due to potential hazardous stress concentration on abutment teeth.
